So
this is the first time Angel comes back. He wasn't really there but I
think he should have been, so now he is : )
I know I pretty much
took out Riley's part, but I had to for the purpose of this
chapter.
Some things I borrowed directly from the episode, so if
you recognize something, that's why.
Enjoy! Please Review!
I OWN NOTHING! (Although I wish I owned Angel!)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Forrest grabed Buffy and through her down on a table. Buffy fought against him and almost broke free until Professor Walsh and Doctor Engleman rushed over and helped hold her down. She struggled some more but couldn't overpower them.
"Is that it? Is that all you got?" Forrest demanded.
"No."
Forrest, Professor Walsh, and Doctor Engleman all whipped their heads around seeking out the unfamiliar, but obviously male, voice.
Buffy tried to turn her head to seek out the voice, but she couldn't see him. The people holding her down blocked him from view.
Forrest and the doctors looked up into the face of someone they didn't recognize. A tall man with dark hair and an angry expression stood before them.
"She has me." The stranger growled.
The stranger quickly knocked out Professor Walsh and Doctor Engleman. Forrest backed away from Buffy, who quickly jumped off the table, her back to Forrest and her rescuer.
"What is this?! Who are you?" Forrest shouted.
At this point Buffy turned to face the two men. She took on an expression of utter shock.
"Angel" she exclaimed in bewilderment. "How did you -"
"Later Buffy, we have things to take care of now." Angel said.
"Oh right." Buffy said as she kicked Forrest in the face.
More commandos came running in behind Buffy. Angel quickly ran over to help her out. He through a punch at the man about to hit Buffy.
Riley seeing the fight struggled harder with the chip. Finally he managed to pull it out. He gave a sigh of satisfaction and quickly got up to help in the fight.
"I need to get to Adam. Right now." Buffy managed in between punches and kicks.
Angel knocked one of the commandos to the ground and quickly turned to Buffy. "Go, we can take care of this." he said, glancing over at Riley.
Buffy looked to Riley and seeing his nod of encouragment she ran off to fight Adam.
---------------------------------------------------
The fight was over. It had been intense but she managed to stop Adam, with the help of the others and Willow's spell of course.
Now Buffy sat in her room thinking over the last couple hours.
Angel had shown up. She thought she was done for when all of a sudden he was there. Later when she questioned him about how he knew, he said Willow had called. Thought they might need some back up. A good thing too.
Buffy heard a knock and turned to face her bedroom door. "Come in" she quielty said.
Angel pushed open her door and entered her room, shutting the door behind him.
"Hey". He said, not meeting her eyes.
"Hi." she responded.
Angel stood there, not knowing what to say next. Buffy decided to help him out a little.
She moved over and motioned for him to sit down next to her.
Angel slowly made his way to the bed and sat down.
Buffy turned her body to face him. "Thank you Angel." she started. "I don't know how I would have managed it without you. You really saved my ass in there." she laughed.
Angel smiled. "You don't need to thank me Buff, I'm just glad I got there and was able to help."
Buffy nodded.
They sat there in silence for awhile longer. Finally Angel stood up.
"I guess I should probably get going. There's some things I need to do in L.A, and..." Angel trailed off.
Buffy wanted him to stay. Somehow she needed to find a way to keep him here. She opened her mouth to ask him to stay, but abruptly stopped. She had Riley. She couldn't ask Angel to stay. She needed to let him go.
Buffy stood up and wrapped her arms around Angel's tall frame.
Angel's arm circled her waist almost of there own accord.
They stood there in each other's arms. Simultaneously they realized and dropped their arms.
Angel reached for Buffy's chin and tilted it up so he could look into her eyes. "Call me if anything comes up." he said.
Buffy only nodded.
Angel released her chin and stared into her eyes for another second. Slowly he dropped his gaze and turned and opened her door. He walked out of her room without looking back.
Buffy stood in place and watched him go. One thought echoed in her head.
Why didn't I ask him to stay?
