Summary: The Scoobies come to visit in the face of an apocalypse and Buffy learns some home truths about Cordelia and Angel's relationship.
Angel and Fred instantly ran past the shocked Buffy and ran down the stairs.
"Call an ambulance!" Angel ordered Fred as he ran towards an unconscious Cordy.
He knelt next to her, not wanting to touch her in case she had spinal damage. She was breathing, he could hear, but barely.
"What the hell did you do? You stupid girl!" Giles shouted at Buffy as he ran towards Angel and Cordelia. "What were you thinking using your power against a human!"
"I wasn't thinking Giles, I was angry." She shouted back and trotted down the stairs.
"And that makes it alright does it?" Angel turned on Buffy. "That makes it okay for you to shove a helpless girl over a first floor balcony because you were angry! You amaze me!" He said with contempt and then turned back to Cordelia.
The other Scoobies had all come back downstairs by then and stood watching, unsure of what to do.
"The ambulance is on its way." Fred said as she came back. "I called Wes and Gunn too, they're on their way. I'll go upstairs and get Connor."
She rushed back upstairs just as Buffy ran out of the hotel doors. Spike followed her.
Valuable minutes went by as they waited for the ambulance. Connor, sensing the mood in the room, began to cry in Fred's arms.
She rocked him back and forwards, trying desperately to get him to quieten. Angel sat besides Cordelia not daring to touch any more than her hand. "Sweetheart." He murmured over and over again.
Gunn and Wes arrived at the same time as the ambulance.
The paramedics suspected some sort of spine trauma and maybe even head trauma, but no-one had actually seen how she'd landed.
They managed to avoid questions about how it happened although Angel was tempted to tell them that it was due to Buffy.
They loaded Cordelia into the ambulance on a spinal board. Angel went with her leaving the others to follow in their various cars.
The last thing he saw was Fred's tear soaked face huddled next to his son's downy haired head.
