Disclaimer: Do I really have to put these in every chapter? Can't I put it in one chapter? Okay: Angel isn't mine. Joss Whedon owns everything.

A/N: I'm deeply sorry for not updating in at least two month. Real life (a.k.a. school) has decided to knock on my door and keep me preoccupied from writing fanfiction (once summer starts, however, real life will leave me alone). Once again, any mistakes you find in this chapter are mine.

FalconWings14: Cordelia died from a coma. In season 4, she gave birth to an adult woman/goddess called Jasmine, and fell into a coma from the birth. In season 5, Wolfram and Hart (when Angel began working there) watched Cordelia just in case she woke up. In episode 12, she did, though it was her spirit instead (she died earlier, the Powers That Be sent her spirit down to make Angel get back on track, and at the end of the episode, Angel got a call from someone informing him that Cordelia had never woken up, and had died).

Restless Hero: Chapter 3

Lindsey awoke. Wherever it was, though, it wasn't in bed with Eve. It was another place that seemed strangely foreboding, like he had seen it before.

There was an elevator and stairs. There was a kitchen, a living room and a bedroom. It seemed pleasant, Lindsey thought as he made his way to the kitchen. But why the Senior Partner's sent him there he had no idea.

A sudden noise made Lindsey turn away from opening the fridge, and to look around at anything that might have caused the noise. Lindsey peered around the corner, catching sight of the elevator moving down.

So, someone's in the elevator, is that right?

A guy with dark hair, a slightly pale face, and a wardrobe that looked like he would wear it out for drinks at a pub stepped out from the elevator. "Angel?" he spoke with a soft Irish brogue.

Lindsey wondered who this strange man might be and why the hell he was in his home, if it was a home. On the other hand, Lindsey thought it wasn't a home, but more like a bat cave. Now that this man entered his home, it was time to get defensive.

"Hey!"

The guy with dark hair turned around, squinted at him, and said, firmly, "You're not Angel."

"Yeah, you're right, I'm not," Lindsey implied, grinning "But you are in my home," he continued, "and I don't take kindly to strangers entering my home."

"This isn't your home, it's Angel's," the dark-haired guy argued.

A frown immediately fell upon Lindsey's face. The glint in his eyes vanished, being replaced by a sinister look. "You know Angel?"

"Why shouldn't I know him? He's my friend." The guy hesitated, and then asked, "Why? Do you know him?"

"Yeah, I know him," Lindsey replied, swallowing his fear. "I'm Lindsey." He offered his hand to the guy.

The guy glanced at the hand, and then looked back at Lindsey. "Doyle," he said, shaking Lindsey's hand briefly.

"Doyle?" Who was Doyle again? Oh, right, that half-breed. "I thought you died. How come you're here, alive and speaking to me in my own home?"

"Like I said, this isn't your home. It's Angel's. And another thing, I didn't die."

"Yes, you did. You died and sacrificed your life for Angel. And then that son of a bitch went and cut off my hand, while I was promoted to the top position of Wolfram and Hart."

"You work for Wolfram and Hart?" Doyle asked cautiously.

Lindsey sensed the fear in Doyle, and grinned. "I do, and I enjoy every minute of it."


Lindsey woke up with a sudden gasp. "What the…?" He trailed off, looking at the clock. It read 2:00. Then he peered out of the window. It was still dark. 2 o'clock in the morning. This is just great.

The dream had been so vivid; it seemed real. Lindsey couldn't believe that Doyle was back, even if it was just a dream. Dead guys don't return from the dead. They stay dead.

Oh well, while I'm up…

He got up from bed, making his way to the kitchen, all the while cursing under his breath at the Senior Partner's.

Once Lindsey entered the kitchen, the sudden dream came back at him, and he muttered under his breath, "Doyle can't be alive. It was just a dream, that's all it was. He isn't alive, he's—"

"He is," a loud voice appeared. It seemed to surround Lindsey from all sides. One of the two men from the Senior Partner'smaterialized before him. "He is alive and you have to kill him."

Lindsey was startled at this sudden voice and figure, and demanded, "What are you doing here?"

The figure ignored the instant demand and continued. "The visions we have given to you will lead you to him. You have to kill him, or else we will lose ultimate power, as will you."

The agreement of finding the Pendant and gaining power came back to Lindsey as he nodded. "I'll do whatever it takes…wait," he added hastily and startlingly, "visions? Why visions?

"These visions will lead you to find the Pendant, you fool. The Oracles have it. We have to take it back. The Powers That Be also supplied Doyle with visions. Those visions he has are a lead to you so he can kill you. You have to be prepared to face him and kill him if he does find you."

"Oh," Lindsey muttered. The sudden realization that this wasn't a game shocked him as he tried to come to terms with the recent information.

"Good luck," the man offered as he started to fade away.

"Hang on! One question: what was with the dream?"

The man clad in the black robe stopped fading, and started to return to a corporeal state. "You two are connected by the visions. There can be only one, who has them, but there are two now, and when that happens, they have the same dreams. They appear to each other in dreams."

"Like astral projection," Lindsey thought out loud.

The man in the black robe nodded.

"So that dream, the one I just had, that was real?"

Once again the man nodded.

"Can I kill him in the dream?" Lindsey asked, cheering up slightly if that fact was true.

"You can not," the man answered minimally

Lindsey nodded, resting his head in his hands. He was deeply confused, and he felt like crawling back into bed to sleep.

"So what happens if I don't get the Pendant back?" Lindsey asked, looking back up at the guy.

"We will die," the man replied, and disappeared in a flash of light.


A/N: Now Lindsey came back (I bet all the Lindsey fans are cheering), he has visions, and finally he and Doyle got a chance to meet (sure, it was in the dream, but the dream was real). So the question remaining is: will he kill Doyle? Will he be able to get the Pendant back? Are the Senior Partner's lying? Well, yeah, the Senior Partner's are lying. They're evil. Anyway, next chapter will be out as soon as possible (I promise! Real life is close to leaving as soon as school ends).
