Summary: Something bad happens to Cordelia which makes Angel realise how much he loves her (Crossover).
"You kissed him?" Fred asked. "I knew you two were meant for each other. The whole kyerumption thing was practically shouting at everyone! And the moiré! You two were just made for each other."
"I see that now. But it was weird, even after everything that happened." She pointed to her face. "I still feel comfortable with him. I suppose that's because we didn't do anything, you know. I guess tonight will be the test. Maybe I should have told Willow. We could still get her to go to that place and then she'll know that there are people watching her and that she won't get hurt. And what if something happens her now? I'll know that I could have helped stop it."
"I think Wesley was right. We need to catch them, not just stop them. That was they can be brought to justice for what they did to you." Fred said practically. Everything suddenly seemed so simple, but both Fred and Cordy knew that it wasn't. Cordelia could still freak out when she saw the men or not be able to handle it. "You know, I used to have nightmares about being raped. When I wasn't dreaming about the nutcracker of course. I used to get so scared and they were only dreams. I can't imagine how you're even having a normal conversation right now, or eating or breathing or anything. I once said to Angel that you were one of the bravest people I ever knew, because of the visions. But you are a brave person in general. I don't know what we'd have done without you Cordy, if things hadn't happened the way they had. We all love you."
Cordelia leaned over and hugged her. "I gotta go. I get my stitches out today. I'll be back about three. Tell Angel for me."
When Angel came upstairs with Buffy he cursed Cordy for going on her own. "Where are your other friends?" Fred asked.
"Everyone except Spike is sightseeing. I think he's exploring the sewers somewhere. Or he might have gone to that green guy's club." Buffy said and put one of Angel's swords on a chair.
Angel picked it up and went to put it away muttering about tidiness.
"His name is Lorne." Fred told her. "Whatever." Buffy aid and then said she was going to use Angel's shower and disappeared upstairs.
"I don't get it." Angel said when she'd left. "I used to love her so much. I used to think that it would kill me being away from her. Now I think it will kill me being near her. She's changed, or I have. Everything about her just annoys me."
"Maybe because you've found Cordelia everything is different." Fred suggested and put a cup of pig's blood in front of him. "Back in Sunnydale you never noticed Cordelia. You were both different people. It was the whole forbidden thing that attracted you to Buffy. The slayer and the vampire should never have been. But maybe the vampire and the seer should be." With that she left him.
