Outside Wolfram & Hart
"Cordeila" Buffy said "I thought you died"
"Who hasn't?" Cordy asked with a smile "And again where are you going?"
"Home" Buffy said "Why?"
"You cant leave" Cordy said "They need help"
"You go help them" Buffy said "There your friends- I only know three of them, even though Wesley seems like a new person"
"I'm a ghost" Cordelia said "I cant help them"
"Sure you can- you remeber some of your old cheers, you can go cheer them on" Buff said turning away and continued to walk but Cordelia appeared in front of her "My sister needs me"
"She's fine there- or bring her here to LA" Cordy said
"Why am I even listening to you? This could be some sort of joke" Buffy said
"It's not Buffy, trust me when I say you are needed here more then you are in Rome, look Angel has lost site of the mission" Cordy said
"He went to war against this place" Buffy said "I think he can hold his own"
"You are one of the strongest people, you need to help not just him all of them- this is going to be a fight they cant win without you" Cordy said
"You help them, I cant just leave my life because my dead friend wants me to help my 2 ex's, former watcher and bunch of other people that I barely know and already have the urge to hit" Buffy said "I'm sorry Cordeila I just cant"
"Buffy I cant force you to do anything but you love them, and there going to end up dead without your help and you know they would walk through fire for you" Cordy said "And I saw you with Fred earlier- you can help her too- you know how she feels"
Buffy sighed "Two questions" Buffy said
"Go ahead" Cordy said
"How long do I have to stay and what do I have to do?" Buffy asked
"You stay as long as it takes and you'll know what to do- keep them on there toes, dont let them lose site on what the mission is" Cordy said
"And what mission is that?" Buffy asked
"To help the helpless" Cordy said "I'll be watching you"
"Wait!" Buffy yelled
"Yes?" Cordy asked
"Where are you going, they need you too and you have to tell what to do" Buffy said
"You'll know and I'll visite from time to time, good luck" Cordy said with a smile then disapeared
Back inside W&H
"So" Gunn said "Guess it's back to work"
"Guess so" Wesley said
"Well" Spike said "I dont have job"
"Me either" Lindsey said
"Find something to do" Angel said "Organize paper clips or something" Angel said then walking up to his office
Angel sat in his office "Didn't think I would back here again"
"That would make two of us" Buffy said with a smile in the doorway
"Buffy" Angel said standing up "What are you doing here?"
"Well I was out the door and an old friend told me you still needed me" Buffy said
"I always need you" Angel said as he walked over to Buffy "But I dont want you in danger"
"I can take care of myself- besides if I leave now I'll never get to here the story about the young man who keeps calling you dad" Buffy said with a smile
"Long story" Angel said
"I have all the time in the world, I called Giles and he is staying with Dawn" Buffy said as they both sat on the couch
"I dont know where to start" Angel said
"From the beginning" Buffy said
Downstairs
"Who are you again?" Lorne asked Connor
"A friend" Connor said
"If you want to see Angel his office is upstairs" Lorne said
"No, just tell him I'll see him later" Connor said leaving
"I guess it's back to the science lab for me" Fred said
"Are you sure your okay?" Wes asked Fred
"Yea, besides I talked to Buffy and she helped a little" Fred said
"Yea, she's had a good number of deaths" Wes said
"Where do I go?" Spike asked out loud
"You can help me" Gunn said
"And what are you up to Charlie boy" Spike asked as Gunn pulled out a huge axe "nough said" Spike said following Gunn
"Where do we go?" Eve asked Lindsey
"To my old office I guess" Lindsey said as they walked
Next day, Angel's office
"So you and Darla!" Buffy said laughing
"Yea" Angel said with a smile, both of them were now sitting on the floor "But it's not as odd as Willow being evil- that's a tad hard to believe"
"Oh it was scary" Buffy said "So you really cut this Lindsey guy's hand off?"
"Yea, but I cant believe three nerds banned together to take you down" Angel said laughing
"Yea" Buffy said with a smile "It was less funny when one of them had a gun"
"I wish you would of told me about Spike though" Angel said seriously
"I just did" Buffy said
"I always wondered why he got his soul" Angel said getting up "But attacking you like that-"
"He didn't have a soul, but he's better now" Buffy said
"You love him?" Angel asked
"You love Cordy?" Buffy asked
"Fair enough" Angel said with a smirk helping Buffy up
"I cant believe we talked all night" Buffy said with a smile
"We had alot to catch up on" Angel said
"I'm glade you were honest with me, and about your son- he seems like a good kid" Buffy said
"He is" Angel said as someone knocked on the door
"Come in" Angel said as Connor walked in
"Is this a bad time?" Connor asked
"Nope, I was just going to give myself a tour of this place" Buffy said with a smile then left
"So that's the slayer" Connor said
"The one and only" Angel said
"She seems nice" Connor said
"Yea she's a good person" Angel said
"You love her" Connor said
"Always have" Angel said "Always will"
"She seems like she loves you" Connor said "I talked to my parents- my other parents"
"About what?" Angel asked
"I want to stay here with you" Connor said
"I don think that would be a good idea" Angel said "This is an evil law firm"
"So, your not evil" Connor said "And I miss the people here- even if they dont know who I am"
"I dont know Connor" Angel said "I did this so you could have a normal life"
"I'll never have a normal life- not with this false family" Connor said
"Fine, you can stay" Angel said "There's a room upstairs you can stay in"
"Great" Connor said as they both left
Wes's office
Wesley was at his desk when he saw Buffy walk right past his door
"Buffy" Wesley said as Buffy walked in
"Hey Wes" Buffy said
"I thought you left" Wesley said
"I did but then I came back" Buffy said "To help"
"Really? Well we could always use a slayer" Wesley said
"So I hear" Buffy said "How is Fred?"
"Good, and I want to thank you for talking to her- it helped" Wesley said
"I know how she feels" Buffy said "Willow and Faith told me you changed but if I bumped into you on the street I wouldn't recognize you" Buffy said with a smile
"Yea we all change" Wesley said
"I guess we do" Buffy said
"How is Willow and Faith?" Wesley asked
"Willow is happy with Kennedy and Faith is happy and on the run with her boy friend Robin Wood" Buffy said
"Boy friend?" Wesley asked shocked
"Yea" Buffy said with a smile "She's changed for the better also"
"Yea she really did" Wesley said "Where you looking for something or someone?"
"I was trying to give Angel and Connor a moment alone and got lost, I thought I would give myself a tour but this place is huge" Buffy said
"So you're planning on staying?" Wes asked
"For as long as you all need me" Buffy said
"Well then let me give you the tour" Wesley said walking out the door as Buffy followed
In a basment area
Wes and Buffy came down the stairs
"This is where we keep some demons and" Wes was cut off by Buffy pushing him down as an axe swung there way "Gunn" Wesley said seeing Gunn and spike as Buffy helped Wes up
"What are you doing here?" both Wes and Gunn asked at the same time
"Looking for any loose demons, what are you doing?" Gunn asked
"Giving Buffy the tour- she's going to be staying a while" Wesley said
"You're really staying slayer?" Spike asked
"Really am" Buffy said with a smile
"Cool" Gunn said as they all walked together "So are you like Faith"
"No" Buffy said firmly
In the lab
Buffy walked into the lab and saw Fred
"Hey Buffy!" Fred said with a smile "I thought you left"
"Nope, decided I was needed here" Buffy said "I was wondering and saw the lab- thought I would drop by and see how you were holding up"
"Good" Fred said "Thanks for talking to me before"
"Anytime" Buffy said "So your like a scientist right? That's what Willow tells me"
"Yea, I guess you can say that" Fred said with a smile "You must be familiar with all of this"
"No" Buffy said "I failed chem class, Willow wears the smarty pants in the family"
"So you're staying a while?" Fred asked
"Yea, everything is fine in Rome, and I thought Angel would need me around here- an extra fighter not working for the evil firm" Buffy said
"We can use someone more level headed around here" Fred said
"So you and Wes" Buffy said with a smile "You two seem- all in love"
"We are" Fred said "The only reason I'm happy to be back is because of him"
"It's nice you two have a normal romance" Buffy said
"What about you and Angel?" Fred asked "I remember after you died he was all weird"
"Angel will always be in my heart and the main reason I'm staying- he needs me" Buffy said
"He really does" Fred said "Ever since Cordy died-" Fred stopped herself
"No it's okay, I know all about his love for her and he is free to love other people" Buffy said "I did"
"Like Spike?" Fred asked
"I loved Spike too" Buffy said "But there diffrent- on two completly diffrent levels"
"Fred" Wesley said as Buffy turned and saw him "Am I interupting?"
"Not at all, I was about to attempt to find my way back upstairs" Buffy said walking out the door
"I'll go with you" Wesley said
"No you stay" Buffy said with a smile "It's like a fun game finding your way around here"
"See you later Buffy" Fred said as Buffy left
"You two getting along well I see" Wesley said
"Yea, it's nice to have someone else around that understands you- ever since Cordy left it's been weird" Fred said
"Are you holding up ok?" Wesley asked
"Yea, now that I'm back with you" Fred said with a smile "I'm complete"
"That's how I feel" Wes said as they kissed
