When worlds collide chapter 3
"I could be asking you the same question Angel. It is practically impossible that you and your demonic counterpart can exist in two separate bodies at the same time, however, if you have your soul then it seems that Faith and I have ended up in a parallel universe," answered Wesley curtly.
"Big guy, I'm really glad to catch up with you even in a parallel universe," said a relieved Faith, "Is there some place we can go?"
"We can go to the Hyperion where you can explain how Angelus is walking around and had turned Fred and Connor," replied Angel. The three individuals walked to his Plymouth convertible with Wesley shooting him suspicious glances.
"Sweet ride, big guy," said Faith seeing the convertible.
"Thanks, it does its job. I can't exactly fight the forces of evil with a bus pass," replied Angel, "Well I suppose that I could but that would be tacky."
Faith giggled, after the mind games that Angelus had played on her and Wes, it felt good to be with her best friend again even though this was not her world.
They got into the car with Wesley in the back, Faith riding shotgun and drove to the Hyperion. Angel got out after parking it behind the hotel and walked into the hotel's lobby.
"Honey, you're back," said Nina with a warm smile before she moved to embrace him.
"Hi," replied Angel.
"You look beat, what's wrong babe?" asked Nina.
"I just had a very strange night," murmured Angel.
"Do you wanna talk about it? I'm here to listen to you love."
Just then static discharges started to appear in the air above the pentagram that they had used to make Sajahan corporeal. Angel became worried, prepared to push Nina behind him as the last time a portal opened in front of him, his son tried to kill him under Holtz's influence.
"I can help you fight babe. This isn't the eighteenth century where women hide behind men during difficult times," said Nina frowning, balling her fists up ready for combat.
"She's right, you know Angel," said a familiar voice coming from the portal, "I see that she is one of your typical blondes, buddy,"
"Cordelia? My god!" voiced Angel in shock at seeing his best friend walk out followed by Connor and Dawn. With a gesture Cordelia closed the portal.
"Is this really Queen C or her evil doppelganger?" asked a suspicious Faith.
"So, you and Wes have arrived from your dimension to chase down Angelus and his nasty cohorts, that's good," said Cordelia and at Faith's suspicious look she became irritated, "I'm really Cordelia! Although not your 'Cordelia' Faith, so you and Wes need to trust me with what I am about to tell you and Angel."
"We have been dealing with whatever has taken over your body in our world, Cordelia. So, you cannot blame Faith and I for being cautious," said an English voice. Wesley had arrived.
"It's called Jasmine," said Angel as he whispered something in Nina's ear who then relaxed.
"I beg your pardon!" said a shocked Wesley.
"What's taken over your Cordelia was called Jasmine, she is a rogue power determined to impose world peace by force," explained Angel, "It happened in my world and Cordelia slipped into a coma because of it." At his expression of sadness in his brown eyes, Nina held Angel's hand while Faith raised an eyebrow at the sight.
"She must have been nuts to think that a perfect world is where free will doesn't exist," said Dawn. She hated the rogue power for what it had done to her husband.
"She's not the only threat. I guess that you met Angelus and his cohorts," said Cordelia.
"Yes, that was a strange time for me. How did Fred and my son get turned, Wesley?" asked Angel.
"Well, the team got that shaman Wo Pang to remove your soul and we confined Angelus to the cage in the basement. But what we thought was Cordelia claimed to have some kind of vision on how to restore Angel's soul after the container was stolen. Angelus pretended to be Angel and knocked out Cordelia before he lured Fred away from the others. He turned her before carrying her out," explained Wesley.
"That's not what happened to our Angel," said Connor, "So what happened to me in your world, Wes?"
"You went after Angelus on your own to protect Cordelia and your unborn child, but you were jumped by 15 vampires before Fred tasered you and Drusilla dragged you to Angelus, who then turned you," answered Wesley.
"That crazy bitch!" snarled Dawn angrily.
"Yes quite, also the First is launching an attempt on the Slayer line and Bringers were hunting us through the mean streets of Los Angeles before we ended up here- wherever here is," responded Wesley.
"The First what?" asked Nina, looking confused by talk of parallel realities and people coming out of portals. However, due to her love for Angel, she decided to listen and help out wherever she could.
"The First Evil, it is the source of evil. It is beyond sin and death," said Wesley, speaking in his Watcher like voice which reminded Dawn of Giles. Although this Wesley looked grizzled, well-armed, and tough.
"And beyond insane to boot," added Angel, remembering its mind games all too well.
"It's army of Bringers is about to walk across from their world led by Caleb," said Cordelia.
"What? Caleb!" breathed Dawn, remembering what she had heard about the sadistic killer working for the First, who had blinded Xander before Buffy killed him with her Scythe. Connor pulled her into a hug and she snuggled up against his chest.
"What exactly has happened to Junior in this world?" asked Faith, "He is no longer the nasty and brash boy that I remember if little D is in love with him."
"Well Jasmine was born out of Cordelia, so I went mad due to her manipulations and then Dad made a deal with the Senior Partners to give me a new life before he double crossed them and took out their representatives on earth," explained Connor. "Dawn is my wife now," he added proudly. Dawn flashed her claddagh ring so that Faith could see.
"I'm surprised that B hasn't killed you," mumbled Faith.
"Well, she came to accept it and even went to our wedding," said Connor.
"It's because she saw how much we love each other," added Dawn, smiling at him.
"There are plenty of rooms here, so you could all choose one," said Angel, trying to move the conversation along.
"Good to see you Dad, despite the circumstances," said Connor before he carried their suitcases to their room.

Connor and Dawn unpacked their clothes and hung them up in a wardrobe in a room on the fourth floor.
"Some night huh? I never thought that I would ever see Jasmine or Angelus again, even ones from a different world," mumbled Connor. Out of all the monsters he had seen and faced, he feared Angelus the most. Plus, the idea of a Vampire Fred was not sitting well with him at all. The skinny brunette was brainy and no pushover. Not to mention she hated him for what he had done to Angel.
"Once our family is gathered together, we will kick their asses to hell. They can't hurt you anymore. Not while I'm here love," reassured Dawn with a determined glint in her eyes and then she embraced her husband.
"You're right Dawn, I am glad that you're here with me," said Connor trying to remain calm.
"All this talking is reminding me that you have a wife to kiss Mister," teased Dawn and he kissed her on the lips while she encircled his neck. Their kisses quickly turned more passionate before Dawn reluctantly broke away to breathe.
She then peeled off her tank top and her black bra which made Connor inhale sharply. Dawn grinned, before she shimmed her jeans down her legs, revealing simple white cotton panties to Connor's surprise. "Lose the pout. You ripped the matching pair during our honeymoon baby and I haven't had a chance to go shopping."
"I'm not complaining," said Connor as he got onto the bed, "I promise to be gentler next time."
"Who asked you to do that?" Dawn smirked as she kissed and tugged at Connor's bottom lip before straddling him, "I love that wild 'can't control yourself' side, honey. It makes me hot."
"Really, lover?" asked Connor, before Dawn started taking off his shirt and unbuckling his jeans before then taking off his boxers.
"Yes, so pay attention now." With that Dawn kissed him roughly before kissing her way down his chest and began to swirl her tongue around the velvety tip of his length. Conner exhaled loudly as Dawn proceeded to take him in, occasionally sucking and licking. He put her hand on Dawn's head and closed his eyes.
"Jesus!" he moaned as he fisted Dawn's hair before finally, he grunted.
"You taste so good," mumbled Dawn.
"Now it's my turn to please you hon," said Connor with a feral look in his eye that made her shiver from pleasure. He kissed her passionately before rolling her onto her back and then hooking her legs against his waist.
"So, what were you thinking about earlier?" asked Connor into her ear.
"You touching me like this," moaned Dawn before Connor entered her. "Yeah… like that." He set a quick and hard pace that pleased them both. The sweltering heat of passion had soon engulfed her senses.
"Connor!" the word echoed around the room, amplified by the scream that tore from Dawn's lips when her orgasm finally overtook her.
"That was really sexy. I don't think that I can ever get enough of you sweetheart," breathed Connor after he rolled off her.
"You say the most romantic things," panted Dawn, "That's one of the many things that I love about you."
"That you like the romantic sap in me is one of the many things I love about you," answered Connor before the couple dozed off as Dawn ran her fingers through his hair.

In Cleveland at the Council Compound at 7 am the next day.
Buffy had awoken with Spike next to her in their bed, which they shared, when she saw someone that she thought was dead.
"So, Slayer, you may have won the previous round by destroying my army but I am still here and my boys are about to come through and destroy you all," said Caleb.
"Blah blah blah, can't you think of any new lines? Besides, you were so last season!" snapped Buffy, realizing who was actually in her bedroom.
"Well Angelus is also here and he is more than willing to assist me in destroying you and your pathetic Spike. The barriers between your world and his are lowered, allowing him to cross over, not to mention a new threat you never seen before is about to arise," sneered the First before it disappeared.
Buffy began to shake Spike awake.
"Pet, what's going on?" asked a groggy Spike.
"We need to ring Los Angeles," said Buffy.
"Must we bring your ex-tumble into this?" complained Spike.
"Spike! This is not the time for macho jealousy crap! The First is back and it was here in our room. It mentioned that a parallel reality Angelus was about to walk through from his world into ours," snapped Buffy angrily. Spike immediately snapped awake and began to dress.
"Ok luv, do you want me to wake up Red and the others?" asked Spike before he went into Willow's room after knocking. He saw the redhead in bed with her new girlfriend, a Japanese woman, possibly a Slayer.
"The First is back," announced Spike.
"Yes, I know I had a visit from it disguised as Tara, but as if I was going to fall for that again," replied Willow, "so um could you leave us so we can get dressed Spike?"
"Sure, thing Red and uh we need transport for us and some Slayers. If you could get the Watcher to ring the bloody principal," replied Spike.
"Yes, now go and wake up Xander," ordered Willow.
"Oh, what fun," mumbled Spike sarcastically.
Soon the entire gang sans Spike was washed, dressed, and headed to the buses that had been arranged for them by Giles and Robin Wood, who was the new principal of the high school in Cleveland.
A man with a pork pie hat was waiting on the bus.
"So, Ms. Summers, I see that you had a visit from the First Evil," said Whistler.
"Yes, now talk Whistler! Before I make you a rib cage for a hat," threatened an angry Buffy. The idea of having to deal with both Angelus and the First was testing her patience. They were both her deadliest enemies; at least now she could kill Angelus without harming Dawn's father-in-law.
Please read and review and I would like to thank Starway Man for his reviews.
