Acceptance

It had been a day since Cordelia received her first vision… well in awhile she had planned to go pay a visit to The Powers That Be when she heard a knock on the door when she opened the door she frowned noticeably

''God Xander! What happened to you?'' she said in utter disgust

''Uh… I dunno… after I dropped you off… I sort of had no where to stay and… I'm sort of drunk'' Xander said very much in doziness

''I noticed'' the former cheerleader said ''Come in'' she added as she walked him in the apartment

''Thanks'' Xander grumbled barely able to speak as Cordelia sat him on the couch

''God Xander … are you okay?'' she said her voice now concerned

''I'm fine'' he assured her

''I swear to god Xan, if I didn't know better I'd say you were your father''

Xander didn't answer as he just grumbled things Cordelia couldn't understand

After Xander had fallen asleep she tired to go and find The Powers as she remembered how Doyle use to reach them and then she remembered

  "All right. All right. Maybe we can try the Oracles.''

        

When she entered she saw a white room with two angels there one male one female ''Hi..'' she spoke nervously then a loud voice spoke

''who may want to see the Oracles'' the male spoke

''I may… I mean… I'' Cordelia said shivering

''and who might you be'' the female spoke softly

''I be Cordelia Chase'' she said

''you have 5 minutes'' the male spoke

the female oracle smiled and said ''What do you ask of us?''

Cordelia went blank ''uh… well 3 years ago I stopped getting visions and now I do again so that's… weird''

''Alexander'' the male oracle spoke

Cordelia had a confused look on her ''Xander… yeah… he's…''

''…the champion'' the female oracle continued

Cordelia stared at her ''Xander, Champion?''

''there is too much evil in the world to be fought it was the right time'' the female said simply

''took you long enough'' Cordelia said as she looked at the clock her 5 minutes were almost up ''wait… what about…'' before she could continue a white light was flashed and she was back in the world ''What about the girl in my vision'' she said walking home

When she walked home and when she opened the door she smiled as she found Xander watching T.V she still had no idea how she was going to tell him the he the champion

''Hey'' she said as she approached him from behind smiling still

''Oh hey Cord, Where 'ya been?'' he said grinning

Cordelia froze for a second ''Oh just out shopping''

Xander nodded ''then why aren't their any shopping bags''

Cordelia tilted her head ''oh they were all out…. anyway… we need to talk''

''…about'' Xander questioned

''oh.. I just think that… ahh'' Cordelia screamed it was another vision

Xander was shocked ''what's going on''

Cordelia frowned ''A vision''

Xander was still blank ''A what?''

Cordelia shrugged ''just do as I tell you'' then she added ''there's a guy a vampire is going to… you get the point''

Xander nodded still not knowing what she meant

Cordelia and Xander were driving through trying to find a near graveyard when Xander began talking

''can you tell me how you got the visions'' he asked concern obvious in his voice

Cordelia turned her head and didn't answer immediately

Doyle turns to Cordy and they kiss. There is a strange blue light between their lips just before they part. Not sure if it's from the beacon shining behind them or if it means something else.

''I…kissed a guy'' Cordelia said not wanting to remember that day

''well that's a surprise'' Xander said anxiously

''What did you just say'' Cordelia said glaring at him

Luckily for Xander they had entered the graveyard and Cordelia gave him a glare just before he left the car

''that's the guy'' Cordelia says while walking to the man when she got near the man she pulled him and punched him in the face and got him out of the graveyard ''beats explaining to him'' she said as she looked over to Xander who was waiting for the vampire ''BEHIND YOU'' Cordelia screamed as the vampire bit him in the neck ''XANDER'' she screamed as she staked the vampire

She held Xander ''oh god'' she said he was bleeding and unable to speak; He didn't look like a champion.
