Angel was lying down in a bed, stricken with horrible, wilting pain. He dared not to open his eyes because he believed it would cause even more. That's when he heard it. A most heavenly voice said, "Angel, don't worry. The pain will soon pass. Just hold on." It was Cordelia.

"Cordy?" Angel spoke. The words were spoken in pain. Angel was struggling to hold on. "Angel, it'll be ok. You're in the hospital. Like I said, the pain will pass." Said Cordelia in a soft sensitive voice. Angel could feel her hand holding his while the other was stroking his forehead. "Hospital?" asked Angel. "Sort of. Don't worry. Everything will be fine. Just a few more minutes." Angel was covered in a cold sweat. The only time he was in so much pain was when the mayor poisoned him in Sunnydale. Angel started erratically shaking. Cordelia tightened her gripe on his hand. "It'll all pass." She said. "Why is this happening?" asked Angel. His voice was very soft. "Your soul is going to another plane of existence. Don't worry. It's supposed to hurt. Travel through planes is difficult. Take it from me."
"So I'm in heaven?" Angel said. His voice was a little stronger but still weak.
"Maybe." Said Cordelia. Angel knew she was smiling right now from the tone of her voice when she answered. "Listen, I'm going to go file some paperwork for your release. Stay here." Cordelia's warm hand was no longer in Angel's grip. He muttered about where he would go in such pain. So much pain..., he thought. Angel lay in the hospital bed rolling side to side when the pain abruptly stopped. It just went away. Although it was gone, Angel was still reluctant to open his eyes. What if this was hell and the devil was playing mind games with him? Slowly he opened one eye. What he saw was beige walls with a window and television in one corner and a counter with plastic flowers in front of him. This must be hell, Thought Angel.
Angel was busy studying the room when a nurse came in. She rolled a cart with many pill bottles into the room. She had blond hair tucked under a hat with a red cross on it. He name tag read, Gabriel. "Good to see you feel better." She rolled the cart all the way in and closed the door. She walked over to the bed and grabbed Angel's arm. She stuck a needle into it and got a sample of his blood. Angel withheld a small "Owy!" coming from his mouth. Gabriel put the sample into a nearby machine by Angel's bed. She read a piece of paper that came out of it.
"Seems that everything is in tip top shape. No missing chunks or splinters occurred during your trip. No strange aura. Oh my..." The nurse looked up from the report to stare at Angel. "Sir, this says you are a vampire. There is only one vampire with a soul and he already came here. Now did you just happen to get a big enough chunk of a soul to revert from your trip to hell or are you really not a vampire?" she asked. Angel was afraid. He didn't understand half of what the nurse was saying about chunks of souls and splinters. Whatever he said, he knew they wouldn't believe him and they would send him to hell. "Well, um..." Angel couldn't begin to explain. The nurse put the report on the top of the machine and put her hand on Angel's forehead.
Angel felt her going through his mind, scanning his thoughts. I was quite embarrassing for him but he could handle it. "Uh huh. Ok. So there are two of you. Interesting. Well, other than the vampire bit, you're all right. Here take this." She handed Angel on of the pill bottles on her cart. "Instructions are inside. It'll help you adjust to this plane. Follow me to the lobby." Angel stood up, fully dressed. "One of the perks of being in Heaven." She said as she pushed the cart through the door. Angel followed her until they got to an elevator. "Press the button with the L on it. Good luck." Said the nurse. Angel turned to the elevator but span back around to say thanks. The nurse was gone. Angel shrugged and twisted back again to the elevator. He waited a few seconds until it got to his level and pressed the L button. When he reached the lobby Cordelia ran up to Angel and kissed him. When the kiss was back Angel stood back, stunned. "A welcome present." Said Cordelia, smiling. Cordelia pulled Angel outside of the hospital to get a look at his surroundings. But Angel wasn't paying much attention.
Angel looked worried. I'm in heaven, but I shouldn't be. Why am I here? I need to go back..., he thought. Cordelia broke the moment of silence between them by saying, "Let's go to my house! Everybody's there like Wes, Gunn, and Spike. There's also this weirdo that took over Fred's body. Ew!"
"Cordy, I don't want to be here." Said Angel. His voice had a very depressed sound to it.
"What, you wanna go to hell?"
"No, it's just... I haven't redeemed myself yet. I need to go back. I need to help save the world."
"But Angel you have redeemed yourself! You're in heaven! I think that's pretty good for a guy that went on a hundred year killing spree!"
Angel looked into Cordelia's eyes. He knew there was no way she would let him go back to La. To another plane. She had finally found the love of her life again, and there was no way she was allowing him to leave. "Angel, did you ever watch that movie Titanic?" said Cordelia, still looking into his eyes. "Uh, yeah..." said Angel, curious about how the movie related to the current situation. "Angel, I'll never let go."
