"Come on Xander, stay awake. You can't leave me okay?" Cordiela told him. Joyce sat quietly in shock. It was definitely a good thing Joyce wasn't part of the Slayerette brigade. She'd freak at everything... Also she'd probable stop Buffy from doing everything. Which with some things, could actually be a good thing. Like now for instance. Buffy had just gone on a suicide attempt while she had her energy back. Xander had that quick burst of energy, but that had faded quickly. Buffy was the Slayer, but she couldn't hold out forever.
Xander had his eyes half closed and his heart rate had dropped dramatically again. His forehead was soaked with sweat. If she wasn't so worried, she'd be disgusted. But right now it was just time to keep him awake, like Buffy had told her to.
"Xander, uh... Let's play a game." Cordiela smiled as brightly as she could.
"What..." he caughed and looked even more exhausted. "...game?"
"Uhm, the game where you stay awake." Cordiela replied.
"Sounds...fun..." Xander nodded.
"How can you be so calm?" Joyce asked freaked. "Buffy's gone, Xander is dying. My whole world is collapsing."
That was it, Cordiela had had enough of Joyce's 'I need mucho help' routine. The lady needed a life. Where the hell did Buffy get her courage from? "Alright Mrs. Summers, I know you're freaked and now I can see why Buffy actually ran away."
Joyce looked over at her confused. Rolling her eyes, Cordiela huffed. "Do I have to spell it out for you? You're over protective, you don't understand her. She's the Slayer. I agree that she shouldn't have gone, but I got over it. The girl does as she pleases. Get use to it. Even if she isn't the coolest girl or anything, she can handle herself. You got to get over it or you'll just push her away."
"But she's my baby."

Angel quickly ran into the ICU unit. The only nurse in the room yelled at him as he put Buffy on the bed that she had been in a couple of hours ago. The brown haired nurse ran at him angry.
"Who the hell do you think you are barging in here like that? If you have someone who needs care, take them to the ER. This is a hospital and we have rules." The nurse screamed at him.
Buffy's mother ran to her and the whole room went into a state of anarchy. People cried and screamed while things got knocked to the floor.
"Look lady, she was in here before. She escaped. Didn't you notice?" Angel asked with a harsh tone trying to make her sound like the bad person. It worked.
She looked over to Buffy and looked wide eyed. "She's...she's alive."
"Okay, so put the IV in." Angel growled.
The nurse ran to her station trying to find her supplies. Angel walked over to Joyce and looked down at Buffy who struggled to breath. Behind him Xander lay in the same scenario. His monitor showed that he was dead so it didn't beep once he went into trouble again. The two wouldn't last very long. He was surprised Buffy had lived through the car ride.
The nurse ran back over and started an IV running. She was about to run to the Nurses Station to get a doctor to come in, but Angel stopped her. "Don't. My friends are coming n with an anti-virus. They don't need doctors to get in their way."
"Take your hands off me. The hospital has rules. When a patient is in trouble, the doctor comes. No amateurs allowed. This is a hospital, remember that." The lady replied with anger trying to throw him off. He kept a hold on her shoulder as Giles, Willow, and Oz charged through the double doors. "What, you're not allowed in here."
"Keep that lady quiet. Oz go get a syringe. Hurry. Both of them are going into shock. Joyce, please move away." Giles shook a bottle in his hand. Joyce looked at him with anger but backed up, surprising them all.
Oz ran back to Giles and gave him a syringe. Quickly opening the bottle, he inserted the syringe and headed to Xander's IV monitor. He sucked some solution into the syringe and inserted it into Xander's IV line. Doing the same thing to Buffy's, all of them watched for any sign of reaction.
It took a few nerve racking seconds, but suddenly Xander's eyes went wide open and he cried out. Slowly his breathing went to normal as he looked around confused. "Where..." He cleared his throat. "Where am I?"
Cordiela looked at Giles confused and then back at Xander. "The hospital. Don't you remember?"
"Uh..." he tried to think.
"I suppose he doesn't." Giles looked over to Buffy who was still struggling to breath. "At least not right now. He will recover."
"What about my daughter Giles?" Joyce asked looking from him to Buffy. Why was it taking so long for her to react? "What's wrong with her?"
"Patience, Mrs. Summers." Giles replied harshly and then seemed to want to take that back, but he kept his mouth shut.
Finally after a few long minutes, Buffy's eyes flew open as she gasped for breath. She nurse went into some shock of her own and fainted. The Slayer had the same confused look on her face.
"Where am I?" she grumbled in pain. Angel smiled with relief. It'd be sunrise soon. He had to go home.
* * * * *
"Hey Buffy." Willow smiled and then frowned. "Hey Buffy."
"You said that twice." Buffy said with a stiff forced smile. She was on crutches and Xander held her backpack for her as the two made their way to lunch. Even with all her healing abilities, her shattered femur hadn't healed yet.
"I suppose I did." Willow nodded. "Why are you back so soon? Not that I don't want you back... But I thought you might take a day off."
Buffy nodded. "I did."
"I meant a couple of days off." Willow corrected herself. Oz put a comforting hand on her shoulder as she tried to get everything she had said, straightened out. "You know, you deserve it."
"Yeah, no rest for the wicked." Buffy replied sourly. "I need to sit. We can talk in the cafeteria. Is that okay?"
"Yeah, we were heading there... because it's lunch time and all. That's what people do. They go eat lunch... in the cafeteria." Willow sighed. Following Buffy and Xander to the lunchroom, she entwined her fingers with Oz's.
