Spoilers: Seasons 1 - early season 7
Summary: I wrote this fic between season 6 and 7 so *basically* it's AU as of there Buffy has been dead for 30 years Cordelia is one of The Powers That Be (only actually) and the current slayer is Dawn's daughter Jade. What happens when two important people in her life both fall in love with her? Spike and Angel! A Willow sub-story features. Though this is a romance you can expect plenty of action
I don't want to give away too much in the parings sense but I figured I should say the main relationship is Jade/Angel/Spike
A/N: There will be flashbacks to Buffy's final days.
To Love Once More
Chapter 1
Angel jumped over the park bench only to be knocked several feet back by the demon's immense power. Spike then jumped to the ready, he came toward the creature from behind and swung his ax at its head. The creature swiftly got out of the ax's way, smacked it out of Spike's hand and knocked him to the floor.
"You let it get away!" Angel scolded.
"Excuse me," Spike argued getting to his feet. "I didn't see you jumping on the bloody thing."
"You guys," Jade said pushing between the two. "It's getting away!"
All three began to run after the ugly-purple-gorilla-demon-thing. It wasn't long before Jade got ahead of Spike and Angel; after all she's the Slayer. She jumped into the air and grabbed the creature's throat pulling it backwards, and in one swift motion she pulled it down to the ground, but she didn't move quick enough to avoid being tripped.
Spike grabbed the demon's shoulders and stopped it from lunging at Jade. Angel then came in kicking the demon's head as Spike held it in place, all was going well until the demon broke out of Spike's grip and ducked causing Angel foot to hit Spike right in the nose.
The demon seemed to be getting away when suddenly a plank from a park bench went straight through its neck.
And there stood seventeen-year-old Jade, about 5'5 with brown eyes; her hair was dark brown with a few green streaks, running just past her shoulders. She had dark make-up, black nail polish (some nails pierced). She wore a blackish coat down to her knees, which showed a black skirt coming out under just past her knees.
Spike and Angel ran to her side to congratulate her.
"Jesus what a pussy!" Jade was the slayer, but it was obvious to any on- looker that at times she could be extremely blunt and loud. "I didn't think it would go than that easy."
"Easy?" Spike asked in astonishment. "You shoved a bloody bench through it the sod's neck, hardly what I'd call 'easy'"
"Fine, fine, fine." Jade said still wearing a playful smirk. "*Pussy*" she hid her obvious words behind a fake cough playing more juvenile games with Spike.
"Okay I think I should say something before you two get into another hair pulling match so maybe we should do something about this. thing first" Angel said gesturing to the creature's dead body, obviously deciding to forgo humor once more.
"We don't have to bury it do we?" Jade said horrified of the thought of burying a second creature that weekend. "Cause if so I'm not it."
"Not it!" Angel exclaimed participating in their most childish game yet. And with that both Angel and Jade looked to Spike with joy in each of their eyes.
Spike was the chosen one; he had been chosen to dig a hole suitable for burying and ugly-purple-gorilla-demon-thing. He stood in the hole, digging while Angel and Jade sparred, both Spike and Angel had played a big part in training Jade. They had to, how could they not help Dawn's daughter. They had both been in her life since she was born it seemed necessary.
Spike watched them from the hole where he dug a grave for the demon; Jade's skill was incredible. It was comparable to Buffy's when she was alive. Spike could be brought to tears when thinking of Buffy, she was still a great part of him and he still loved her.
Jade kicked at Angel's head as Angel used all his speed and strength to avoid being hit. Jade was spinning quickly which wasn't easy in her boots, she kept her balance even and she was always at the ready.
"Okay kiddies!" Spike yelled crawling out of the hole. "Bring on the body."
Angel began to drag the body into the hole. Spike watched in amusement.
"Yeah next time your digging' the hole peaches!" Jade laughed as Spike yelled; she always thought it was funny when they fought. "So love, you wanna go round again or call it a night?"
Jade yawned and stretched. "Ugh. I don't know, I'm a bit tired but it's too early to call it a night yet and I don't wanna go home having only killed that 'pussy'".
"You shouldn't go if you're tired," Angel said taking on the adult role. "You don't want to get into a fight your too tired to win."
"Oh don't be a poof," Spike got to his feet. "Love, if you wanna fight then we'll go out there and find some big bad wannabe and we'll kick its ass!"
Jade just laughed while Angel rolled his eyes trying to hide his amusement. Jade got to her feet and took charge how she loved to.
"Okay," she said in her important voice. "Me and Spike have to go in the same direction so we'll do one quick run through before heading home."
All heads nodded. Angel headed back to his apartment and Jade and Spike headed in the direction of The Summer's house
~#^*()*^#~
Spike and Jade walked through the cemetery as they headed home; Spike and Jade had always lived together in the Summers' home. Spike had moved in when Jade's mother had her. Spike and Jade's mother had always been good friends, ever since her Mom was a teenager.
Jade could understand why, Spike was a lot of fun and he was really caring, he and Angel were to of the best people she knew whether they were human or not. They had souls and as far as she was concerned they were way better than most people.
"I was hoping to run into something else tonight," Spike said for the sake of speaking. "But it looks as though."
"Yeah," Jade said disappointed. "I'm so bored at the moment I'd settle for a Vamp."
And out of nowhere Jade's wish came true as to Vampires came out of a nearby bush, both were male, one dressed like a punk the other in a suit, probably from his funeral. Both came running towards Jade and Spike.
Jade rushed forward excited, she jumped into the air and spin kicked the closest Vampire knocking it to the floor, unfortunately the kick had thrown her off balance and landed her on her side.
Jade had landed hard and she now lay there in 'ouch'. Without her knowledge the other Vampire was behind her ready to stab her. Just as the knife began to come down Spike was there, he grabbed the Vamp's hand and neck spinning him around and throwing him to the floor.
Spike grabbed Jade and pulled her to her feet; they made eye contact understanding each other they each headed for separate targets.
Spike walked towards the Vampire he had knocked to the floor. It got back to its feet and came towards Spike with the knife trying to stab Spike. Spike was quicker than the soulless Vampire he swiftly disarmed it and punched it in the face sending it down.
Jade faired well with her target, she had her stake at the ready waiting for an opening. The Vamp swung at her head with his right arm, she countered by spinning so that her back was to him blocking with her left then swinging her right elbow around knocking him off balance.
Jade withdrew her stake and impaled the creature, by the time it was becoming dust she was already moving to Spike's aid.
Spike moved towards his opponent with the knife now in his possession.
"My knife now," Spike said smugly putting it in his black coat. "Let's end this now."
The Vampire seemed to still have a small amount of strength left, he rose to his feet and his eyes turned a sickly red. Spike hadn't seen anything like that, he wondered if Willow's eyes were like that.
"You cannot save her Vampire!" it yelled in a disturbing voice. "She will be ours!"
The creature ran towards Spike with knew strength and speed knocking Spike back into the air with one blow.
Spike flew through the air and landed to knock Jade to the ground, putting them in an awkward position in which he was left laying on top of her.
Though their bodies touching, a cold silence and deep disbelief stood between these two.
~#^*()*^#~
Angel walked the streets of Sunnydale, through Main St., it always amazed Angel how many people walked the streets at night. Sunnydale isn't a safe place and it probably never will be, but these people don't know that.
Angel stopped outside the sun Cinema that had been reopened about twenty- five years ago. Angel rarely thought about the old days when it was he and Buffy fighting with the Scoobies. Before Spike had a soul, before he lost his for the second time and before he left for LA. before Cordelia.
Angel used to get many messages from The Powers, usually delivered by Cordelia and though it was a rare event seeing her was always a pleasure. He would have been much happier if they had never taken her, but when he thought of all the good she's done and she still can do, he was almost happy for her.
After a reasonably long walk Angel was walking up the stairs in his apartment building where he had been living for the past two years since Jade had been called.
/~FLASHBACK~\
Angel walked down the stairs of the Hyperion Hotel hoping that someone would be there. No such luck. Angel was having trouble remembering the last time he had a customer or anyone to work with.
He walked over to the fridge behind the counter, on it he saw the post card he had received from Connor. Connor was now in his mid-forties, much older than Angel appeared to be. Connor was traveling through Africa at the moment, after getting over a fortune for one of his cases at Angel investigations, probably their biggest case ever; Connor had started a world tour with his wife. Angel missed him, but he was also happy for him.
Suddenly the phone began to ring. Angel moved quickly hoping it would be some form of business.
"Angel investigations, we help the helpless" Angel answered putting on a happy voice.
"Angel.?"
\~FLASHBACK ENDS~/
Angel pulled out his key and unlocked the door to his tiny apartment. After entering he walked to the fridge and pulled out a cup of pig's blood and headed to his bed to watch some TV, as Angel began to sit down he felt a pair of eyes watching him from the kitchen he had just exited.
"Angel."
Angel turned to see Cordelia standing in the kitchen doorway. He walked closer to her to make sure he wasn't hallucinating, stopped and smiled.
"Cordelia?" he asked. "Is it really you?"
