Okay, this one's short and probably not so sweet.

Want to know why Angel was so quick to run off last chapter? This is why so don't bother asking.

Angelic Interlude 2

Angel had got back in time to stop Holtz' attack. He hadn't managed to kill him but he had save Wesley and the others, which was enough for now.

"Where have you been?" asked Wesley when it was all over.

"I saw Cordy" He said it quietly but he had everybody's attention. "She had a vision of this happening, and I came back just in time"

"Are you going back after her?" asked Gunn "Or would you rather not tell us?"

"How did you find her?" asked Wesley

"I hired somebody to find her. I shouldn't have done. I should have trusted her"

"Why the sudden change of heart?"

Angel paused. "When I saw her, she tried to convince me about the vision and I ignore her, and she did something. She touched me to try and make me see the vision. She didn't really know what she was doing but I didn't try and stop her. What I saw, it was more than she intended, more than she realised"

"What?" They all thought it, but weren't sure who voiced it

"She's..." he stopped. "I don't know. It was I saw what she saw, everything, why she took him, it was like she lived now and the future and then. I don't know. It was all confused"

"It could have been a trick?" suggested Fred,

"It wasn't" said Angel very sure of himself. "It was real. It's why she took Connor, why she wants me to kill Holtz. Why she keeps warning Wesley. It was real"

There was no dissuading him so the rest of the team just backed away. Fred started cleaning up after the fight, Wesley went back to his books, and Gunn decided to clean the weapons, no point letting the blood go hard.

I think I'm bad at writing Angel so I hadn't planned to write any more of these but I really liked this idea that he saw it all because I know it's a little unbelievable that he just gave up at the first sign of trouble.
