Buffy didn't need to wake Angel because he could feel buffy's body tense. There was no time to feel the awkwardness that was suppossed to occur or the amazing comfort moment the also could of occured when they both awoke because buffy was already looking around for her clothes. Angel actually looked a little worried as he watched.
He finally had enough as he grabed buffy's arm, "What's your hurry?"
The second Angel touched her she remembered what happened in the dream. She slowly slid her arm out of his grasp and looked down, "I just need you to know that every action I take in the next five minutes is totally justified."
Angel nodded, "There's no way you're going to tell me is there?"
Buffy shook her head, "Get dressed and find out when I do."
Angel lay confused for a few seconds before he decided to also start looking around for his clothes.
-Hyperion - Lobby-
The room was in perfect silence yet again until Buffy's room door slammed. It took Buffy and Angel three seconds to make it to the main floor. Despite the confused looks all around she walked right up to Cordelia who was sitting up now and wrapped her hand around her neck. She pulled Cordelia to a standing position and shoved her againt the closest wall.
Angel went to try and pull her off, "Buffy."
Buffy wouldn't budge though, "What do you know Cordy?" Kennedy along with everyone else stood up in case of a sudden movement. Angel stopped trying to pull her off when he remebered what buffy said upstairs, this had to be justified. As she saw Angel calm down she did a little by letting go and stepping back a few tiny paces but still glared at Cordy like she was evil. "Did you do this?"
Xander walked over to buffy and stood on the opposite side of Angel, "Calm down buffy. Even just a little would be nice."
Buffy didn't listen an continued to badge Cordelia, "Did you know I was going to have to make this choice Cordelia? Did you help them take Dawn and Conner?"
Xander shook his head, "You can't go around accusing everybody..."
Cordelia who was obviously scared decided that her guilt over wrote her jealousy. Avoiding eye contact she looked down and interrupted Xander, "I didn't know exactly."
No one in the room could believe what she had just said, especiall Angel, "Cordy..."
Cordelia shook her head, "I wasn't involved in the planning. They never told me about the whole Buffy with no soul thing."
Angel shook his head and backed up a little bit, "I can't believe you. My son..."
Buffy was fuming with more anger if possible, "So what happens now?"
Cordelia shrugged and decided lying about some of it might be a safer idea, "I told you I wasn't involved in the plan."
Buffy of course didn't believe her and wrapped her hand back around her neck and slammed her against the wall, "Now is not the time to lie to me Cordelia."
Cordy winced and shook her head, "I swear I'm not lying."
Buffy shook her head and looked down as she spoke, "Spike." Spike walked as quickly as he could to her side but she didn't allow him to speak, "I want you to watch her. Tie her up if you have to. She is not to leave, use the phone or be alone at anytime. Do you hear me?"
Spike actually smiled, "The tiniest aroma of betrayl."
Cordelia could only glare at the blonde vampire. Buffy finally lifted her head towards Angel, "How you doing?"
Angel shook his head, "I don't think I can be here right now."
Before Cordy could try and apologize buffy nodded, "Good. I need your help." Angel finally looked her in the eyes, "We're looking for a white room where I can talk to the powers."
Angel nodded, "Already know where we're going. You need to bring a gift."
Buffy shook her head, "No I don't. The person we're going to see doesn't deserve one."
Angel could only nod again as buffy turned towards Faith and Willow, "You guys and Spike are in charge. No one goes out of this building and no one comes in but us. The spell for the slayers can be put away because we're not going to need it. Angel and I are leaving for about an hour or two. We'll be back before sunrise with answers." Buffy was about to leave when she remembered how it ended. She stopped and turned to look at Oz, "Stay away from Cordelia at all costs okay. I know senseless but please."
Willow nodded and Oz half smiled, "Okay."
Buffy looked at Cordelia one more time, "You better hope I get the right answers Cordelia because if I don't I won't even care anymore about what you mean to all the people in this room."
She defenitely left fear lingering throughout Cordy's shivering body as she turned to walk towards the door. Cordelia lifted her head long enough to see Angel still staring at her. He slowly shook his head before walking out the door followed by Buffy. Spike winked at buffy before grabbing Cordy by the arm and walking her to the nearest chair. He knew there was rope in the weapons case somewhere so he sent Kennedy for it. When she came back he quickly tied the very silent Cordy to the chair.
This is when Gunn decided to walk in, "What's goin on here?"
Wesley smiled up at his friend, "Apparently Cordy's insane again."
Cordy actually smiled, "I'm not insane, just evil sometimes."
Gunn shook his head and sat down beside Xander who was on the floor again. Faith who looked as if she was thinking stared at Willow, "I want you to keep researching. If Cordy was just watching us instead of planning then some of our plans might actually work."
Willow smiled and started from the beginning. Oz glanced over at Willow, "I wonder why I'm not suppossed to be near her."
Willow shrugged, "You seem fine. Buffy doesn't know what she's talking about...sometimes."
-Angel's car-
Buffy sighed, "Angel, I know what I'm talking about. Just get me in this room, I'm going to talk to Whistler and when I come out I promise I'll have all the answers."
Angel shook his head and made a right turn, "I don't see why i can't come in with you." It was suddenly silent as buffy debated on wheather to tell Angel about the dream or not. I guess the silence scared Angel as he spoke again, "Buffy."
Buffy looked over at him and decided to tell him at least there was a dream, "I had a dream. One of my oh my god this is really going to happen dreams. Something happened with you and me in this dream that i need answers for before I alarm anyone."
Angel calmed down a little bit, "Are you sure? If it involves me I think I should know."
Buffy shook her head and finally realized how much Angel was actually feeling right now, "Right now I'd say you don't need this on your mind. It was my dream, I'll find the answers for it." Angel nodded finally giving in. Buffy continued to stare at him though until she decided to start the serious talk and looked down, "I'm sorry for how you had to find out. Controlling my anger was never a strong point."
Angel nodded, "At least I know."
Buffy shook her head, "But I should of told you before beeting it out of her. Plus we don't know if she was even the one who got Conner and Dawn stolen."
Angel shook his head, "Was it in your dream?" Buffy nodded and Angel sighed, "Then she's a part of it buffy. Your dreams always come true." Buffy closed her eyes and saw him raise his sword again. She shook her head which worried Angel even more, "Did I say something?"
Buffy half smiled, "No. I just...I really hope this one doesn't come true."
Angel actually smiled back, "Whatever happened in your dream between me and you won't happen in this life. I promise."
Buffy's smile dissappeared as she lent on his arm, "You shouldn't make promises you might not be able to keep."
Angel smiled at her change in position, "I'd do anything to keep you alive Buffy Summers."
Buffy smiled up at him, "I can't believe it took me having to sacrifice my soul to get you in bed with me."
Angel half smiled, "Well I knew I couldn't lose you and plus I just learned about the soul having no curse anymore. I guess you just felt like the right person to test it out with."
Buffy sighed, "God I hope this doesn't end."
Angel nodded, "I hope so too."
-Wolfram And Hart - Lindsey's Office-
The first in buffy's body stood staring out the giant window. Amy had already returned the scythe to Lindsey and was no off somewhere else in the building. Lindsey smiled over at The first, "You like what you see?"
The first shook it's head, "No, no I don't. A sudden change has taken place. There's a small scent of power, a very old power."
Lindsey nodded, "Do you wish a small team to go up and scare our little friends back to their hotel?"
The first smiled, "I like the way you think. Perfect plan." Right before Lindsey was about to make the call the First continued to speak, "Make sure they're not hurt. Angel and the slayer mean more to the upcoming war then anyone."
Lindsey made the call while the First continued to stare out the window with the most intrigued and interested face.
