Endings
A Buffy and Angel Crossover Fanfiction
By Saturn Maiden
AN: I've got a question for all you "Angel" fans out there. How many of you thought there was something fundamentally wrong with the ending of the last episode? I was fine with the idea that Connor had a crush on Cordy, but HOLY CRAP! I've got this idea that if you changed someone's diapers at any time, then you probably shouldn't sleep with them. So anyway, the Angel part of this fic starts with the episode before that one anyway, . The Angel Investigations crew gets into the action in this one. And yes, there might be just a little Angel/Cordy WAFFyness in the chapter, I just can't help it. And yes, the story's title sucks, but it'll make sense in later chapters, I hope. This time I wasn't listening to the depressing song I was listening to when I wrote the last chapter, so this one might be slightly less, well, um, depressing. Although I do tend to lean towards the depressing when it comes to stories, it's either fluff or death with me, and I'm warning you that this one is gonna be both, I've already written the songfic last chapter to this (Yes, songfic, dun gimme a hard time about it).
Disclaimer: Nobody in this fic belongs to me, please don't sue, I've got no money anyway. *Brokeness*

LA
Cordelia was walking away from him, but Angel didn't move to stop her. It was like a hand was holding him back., a little voice in his head whispering for him to let her go. But a much bigger voice screamed at him that he was an idiot, told him that he had to run after her, to beg for her to stay. The two little voices argued within him as he watched her. Then she stopped and started falling to the floor. With his vampiric speed he reached her in time to stop her from hitting the ground hard. He laid her one the floor and she opened her eyes. They were clouded over with white "It's coming.. But not here.. Oh god... It's, it's heading for somewhere where the dimensions thin.. SUNNYDALE!!" She blinked and her eyes were back to the way they normally were. She looked up at Angel "We've got to help them, they can't stop it alone." She sat up and took a few deep breaths. He could tell she was shaken by whatever she saw. Cordy was the strongest person he ever knew, and he didn't like the idea that whatever she saw could affect her so. Whatever it was, she was genuinely frightened of it, and showed it.

Sunnydale
Buffy was dead tired when she finally finished patrolling. She opened the door to her house and stood in the doorway, gaping at the mess before kicking into action and running into all of the rooms downstairs, ready for a fight should anything be there that shouldn't be there. When she finished with the downstairs she bolted upstairs, heading to Dawn's room first. She looked into the room and sees her little sister asleep peacefully on her bed, safe and well, and let out a sigh of relief. "I knew I should have cleaned up at least part of that mess before you got home" Willow said, walking over to Dawn's doorway too.
"What happened down there?" Buffy asked her friend.
"All I know is that Dawn saw." Willow's voice trailed off.
"She saw what?" Buffy asked, even more worried.
"She thinks she saw your mother." Willow said.
"She saw Mom?" Buffy said, looking at Dawn as she slept.
"It might not be, I thought I was talking to Tara at the library, but it was a demon of some sort" Willow said, barely able to keep herself from crying again. She took a deep breath and tried to collect her thoughts. "I think it might be the one."
As if reading Willow's mind, Buffy quoted what she had heard several times in dreams and from baddies "'From beneath you it devours.'" Willow nodded. "Then we're going to have to figure out what this devouring thing is so I can make with the slayage."

Somewhere Between LA and Sunnydale
The sun was almost up, Angel could feel it as they drove down the highway towards Sunnydale. If they weren't far from their destination, but he was going to be cutting it close. He started to speed, in a hurry not only to beat the sun, but to warn Buffy. He wondered what it would be like to see Buffy again, how he'd feel. It was odd, but even though he knew that he didn't feel for Buffy as strongly as he had, he also knew he'd never completely forget her. He continued driving, praying that he'd reach Sunnydale before sunup and wouldn't have to cower in the trunk, hiding from the light.
++++++++++++++
AN: Like I'd have this story completely Angel/Cordy, yeah right! More to come later, and there is NO FREAKING WAY I'm going to have any Cordy/Connor, I just think that's wrong on so many levels. Sorry to anyone who likes that pairing. R&R please!
