DISCLAIMER: If you don't recognize it, chances are it's my own creation. If you do, Joss Whedon, Mutant Enemy, Kazui Sandollar, FOX and the WB own it or them. Various friends of mine are holding characters hostage. You may see them by appointment only.
FEEDBACK: Sorry I'm not home right now I'm walking in the spiderwebs so leave a message and I'll call you back...in other words, I want it. Don't care if it's onlist or not, but I prefer offlist since I have quite a few lists on No Mail.
AUTHOR'S NOTES: Answer to Gloveslap #4. Blaire, I was going to wait till it was finished, but since you're so impatient...

"Well, I love you too. Yeah, I know...bye." Cordelia hung up, beaming in the light filled apartment. Talking to Angel always made her feel better. They'd been dancing around their feelings for each other for a long time, and now...
It was all in the open.
Life was great for Miss Cordelia Chase.
She didn't realize that four minutes later, as she looked up at the opening door of the Hyperion, her life would change forever.
***
When Angel came back, five hours later, he saw Cordelia. "Cordy..." he began, and then stopped.
There was Cordelia...and Cordelia...and Cordelia...and Cordelia. All unconscious. And Wesley, Gunn, Fred and Lorne to boot.
"What happened?"
"A bekko-hakaisha demon," Wesley said, looking at Cordelia. "Similar to the Toth demon that hit Sunnydale last year, except it splits it's victims into four. But...no one knows what those four will be. And then, there's other problems."
Angel looked angry. "We'll find him and kill him and fix Cordy."
Lorne sadly shook his head. "Dark and broody, it isn't reversible. I've seen it happen before. Nothing, maybe short of the end of the world, can reverse the process. And...none of the four parts will love the person they loved when they were one. This demon...he not only splits, he destroys the heart."
"No." Angel just stared at the four Cordelia's. "No. No. NO!" He vamped out, picking up one of the couches and throwing it against a wall.
Fred went out and gingerly touched Angel's arm. He turned, full vamp face, and saw the fear in her eyes.
He was scaring her.
His vamp face slid off, to be replaced by a look of unimaginable hurt and suffering.
"We can't fix her," Fred said quietly.
The hurt deepened, and he turned away, walking towards his room.

"Wha...what happened?"
The Cordelia on the farthest left woke up. Her head hurt, and she felt hungry.
The Cordelia on the farthest right woke up. Her head hurt, and she felt powerful.
The Cordelia on the closest right woke up. Her head hurt, and she wanted blood.
The Cordelia on the closest left woke up. Her head hurt, and she felt tired.
Gunn had watching duties. He was sitting there looking at the four identical women. "Do you know who you are?"
"I'm the Eternal Cordelia."
"I'm the Seer Cordelia."
"I'm Cordelia."
"I'm Cordy. Gunn, what happened?"
Gunn was stunned. Then, doing the smartest thing he could think of, he looked towards the stairs and yelled, "Wesley! They're awake! And one of them wants blood!"
