"You know, that's the last time I go with you to fight a swarm of Griznass'!" Cordelia Chase yelled as she entered the hotel, which acted as the office for Angel Investigations. She had already come to the understanding that when she went to fight demons, she'd probably get a little blood on her, but this was absolutely ridiculous. "You could've told us that would happen?" she yelled at Wesley, who was slightly limping.
"How was I supposed to know the drones would explode when the hive mother was killed?" he snapped back at her. Even though he sounded angry, he was really very excited. A hive mother for the Griznass being killed had never been recorded before. It was possible that they were the first to accomplish such a feat.
"Will you two shut up?" yelled an equally messy Charles Gunn. Those two always had to snipe and bitch after a fight. "We're alive, they're dead. Quit whining."
"Oh, you should talk Mr. 'Ow, it's in my eye,'" Cordelia fired back at him.
While all this was going on, Angel walked passed them and went to the fridge to get some blood. It had been a very trying night and all he wanted to do was eat then go the sleep.
He was in the middle of his drink, when he heard Cordy scream. He rushed to her side, expecting to see her spasm like she usually did when she had a vision, but she wasn't. In fact, if it wasn't for the fact that she screamed, he would've thought she had just gone to sleep and was having a really nice dream. She looked like she was at total peace.
"What happened?" he asked urgently.
"I don't know. We were here arguing, then she began screaming like she does when she has a vision, and the next thing I know, she completely at peace," Wesley explained.
As soon as he finished, Cordy began to spasm and moan. Then she opened her eyes, and began massaging her temple.
"Aspirin," she commanded weakly.
"Got it," said Gunn, handing a couple to her as well as a glass of water. He had rushed to get it as soon as she started screaming.
"Cordy, what happened?" asked Angel imploringly.
"Well, it seems our good friends at Wolfram and Hart are at it again," she said sarcastically, "I just had a chat with the PTB, by the way, they're glad to have you back," she told Angel.
"Do you mean to say that you actually had contact with the Powers That Be?" Wesley asked , astonished.
"Well, I didn't give them a hug or anything, but yeah we talked," she answered, "Apparently they do that when they have a really big problem," she continued, punctuating the really. "And believe me, they do, although I guess it's really all our problem, since it's..."
"Cordy," Angel said, interrupting her rant, "what did Wolfram and Hart do?"
"Well, apparently, they opened a portal to another reality and brought someone here," she answered.
"Like the Vampire version of Willow?" Angel asked, confused. While she certainly caused confusion, she didn't seem to be that big of a problem.
"No," Cordelia answered following Angel's line of thinking, "that's what I thought at first too. They gave me this big explanation and I think if I was a Trekkie I would understand more. But from what I could gather, there are five types of portals: time portals, space portals, dimensional portals, universal portal and reality portals."
"What's the difference between universal portals and reality portals?" asked Angel, thoroughly confused.
"I asked the same thing, but their answer total..." Cordelia said, moved her hand over her head.
"Why is this other reality guy so bad?" asked Gunn, although he already knew he wouldn't like the answer.
"If we don't get him back to his own reality in one week, ALL realities will be destroyed," Cordelia said gravely. They all sat in silence for a while, processing. Then Cordy felt the need to add, "Oh, and by the way, Darla and Dru are back. At the end of our 'chat', They felt the need to let me watch the two eat some poor guy."
Angel took this new information in and his face turned even more grim than it had been. "When it rains, it pours."
