Part 2
Angel moaned as he gained consciousness again. His head hurt. And he was laying on the ground, he realized. Slowly he opened his eyes. Where was he?
He looked in two concerned faces.
"Duh, I said it wouldn´t last long."the female sent a triumphant look to the male beside her. "Angel, can you here me?"
He opened his eyes fully.
"Cordelia?", he managed to ask in disbelieve. Why was Cordelia staring at him?
"Yeah, it´s me!", she sighed with relief. "Are you ok?"
Angel was going to doubt that. His was aching, but that would pass. Something different was terribly wrong.
"Where´s Buffy?", he asked, realizing that he couldn´t see her anywhere.
"Buffy? What do you think? That she can fly?", Cordelia mocked.
"Where is she?", Angel asked more worried.
"She´s in Sunnydale Angel, remember?", the male asked him, worried.
"Who are you?"
"So you don´t remember Wesley?", Cordelia asked doubtfully. "Or going to L.A.? That this is your office?"
"No.", he shook his head. What was this? Where was Buffy? And what was Cordelia telling him?
"So, what is the last thing you remember then?", Wesley thought it might be better to start it the other way round.
"I remember being with Buffy. We went on patrol last night. And then...", we were almost kissing again, he thought, but did not say. He missed her. And he wanted to see her. Now.
"I want to see her.", he uttered his last thought aloud.
"What? But you can´t drive! You´re hurt!", Cordelia protested.
"So I guess one of you has to do it", Angel stated, leaving no room for an argument. "And on the way you can tell me what the hell is going on here! Like where I am and what you did to Buffy."
"Ok, boss...",Cordelia muttered silently. Maybe it wasn´t such a good idea to argue with him. Should Buffy deal with it later.
"Sunnyhell, here we come..."
She couldn´t hold him back in the car any longer as they finally arrived in Sunnydale. It was Friday night and the people they were searching for should be at he Bronze, Cordelia recalled. She felt a bit uncomfortable, but remembering, that it was more or less her fault, Angel had lost his memory, she felt guilty. They had filled him in as good as they could on the way, but he had been unwilling to really believe them and kept complaining that somebody had hurt Buffy to take her from him.
Cordelia fought hard to keep up with him, while Wesley had agreed to wait at Giles´ until they had found Buffy. He pushed the door of the Bronze wide open, a mixture of fear and impatience on his face. Scanning the room he could immediatly sense that she was there. But where? At least she was ok, he sighed with relief.
"Look there´s Willow!", Cordelia pointed to one of the tables. And true. She was sitting there, talking to a blonde guy, while Xander and another girl seemed to argue. But where was Buffy? Angel worked his way through the crowd when he became aware of her. She stood beside the table, placing a few glasses on it. God, she looked beautiful. He took an uneeded breath. Somehow she seemed thin and her hair was longer than he remembered, but nevertheless magnificent.
Suddenly she turned around when Xander pointed at Angel, disbelieve in her eyes. But then they lit up and she smiled at him, while he closed the last few steps between them.
He crushed her to him, embracing her, sighing with relief as he closed his eyes and kissed her crown.
"Buffy. Thank God your ok.", he whispered in her ear. First she leaned into his embrace, but then she surprised him and stepped back.
"Angel? Is everything allright?", she asked doubtfully.
He looked at her puzzled, as Cordelia arrived at his side.
"Hi. Good question. The answer is no.", she said, trying to avoid Xander´s gaze.
"What´s wrong with him?", Buffy asked worried.
"Oh no, he isn´t evil again?", Xander shouted, earning glares from Buffy, Angel and Willow.
"It´s a long story.", Cordelia started, but got interrupted by the blonde guy at the table.
"Buffy? Honey, who is this?", Riley Finn asked angrily.
