Buffy woke up with a gasp. She had been having the same dream for the past week. Angel was calling for her, he needed her help. "I have to go to him" She got out of bed and grabbed a bag. She stuffed a few clothes, her toothbrush and a few other necessities and started to run out the door. She went to Willow and Tara's room and knocked on the door. She heard some noises and the Willow came to the door.

"Buffy? It's 3 am!'

"I know. Listen, Willow I need to go now. He needs me. Tell Dawnie I'll be back in a few days. And that she shouldn't worry. I'll call." With that Buffy ran down the front stairs and out the front door. Willow just stood there trying to make sense of what Buffy had just told her. 'Who needs her more than Dawn?' She wondered feeling a little angry. She turned to Tara and said, "I guess we need to tell Dawn... and call Giles"

(At A.I HQ)

"Where is he?" Cordelia snapped angrily. "This isn't funny anymore. You have got to send me a vision. We need him, I need him" she demanded looking at the sky.

"Cordelia, I don't think that's how it works. You need to relax. If the PTB want us to know where Angel is, they'll find a way to tell us." Wesley said trying to calm his friend down.

After Angel had disappeared a little over a month ago, the Fang Gang had called him and asked him for his help. Whatever anger he had been feeling at being condemned by his friends, he let go off, and started the search for Angel. He needed to find Angel and settle things between them once and for all.

"Yeh Cordy, we're all waiting for a miracle here and I know it will come" Gunn said trying to reassure himself as much as Cordy.

Cordelia looked around at her friends, Wesley, Gunn, Fred and Conner were all just as upset as she was and she told herself that she needed to calm down.

"What we need here is a pla- " Wesley stopped I mid-sentence when he heard the door burst open. "Buffy?" he exclaimed. Then he got up. "Angel?"

Gunn and Wesley rushed to help Buffy with Angel but she just shrugged them off and practically carried Angel to the couch. Cordelia ran to them and hugged Angel. The rest of the gang surrounded Angel too. Buffy got up and looked at all of them and then walked over to Conner.

"You, I know you. You're Conner."

Conner just stared at her then replied, "I know who I am. Who are you?"

Buffy ignored him and suddenly punched Conner. She screamed, "How could you do that to him? You're sick. He's your father."

Conner got up; the force of the blow had knocked him to the floor. "Who the hell are you?" He was about to swing at her, when she blocked and punched him again.

"I'm someone you should never mess with."

"Buffy, No" she heard Angel say weakly.

Buffy turned to the others and saw their shocked faces. "Okay" she said and stopped. "But I'm not letting him off that easy. And don't try and stop me Angel." She said as she dragged Conner to a chair and tied him to it really tight.

"He's weak, he needs blood." Wesley suddenly said.

"I'll go get some from the fridge." Cordy said.

"No, he needs human blood. He needs my blood." Buffy said pushing them away. She removed her coat and pulled her tank top down to let Angel feed.

"No" he protested.

"Angel, I've made you do this once before and I will again. Now we can do this the easy way or the hard" She pulled his mouth down to her neck, to the same spot he had bitten her last time. "Angel, don't make me hit you."

When he didn't respond she sighed and backhanded him. He growled and his gameface was on. She then quickly pulled his face down to her neck again. It was too much for Angel to resist and he started to feed. The fang gang watched the two of them in horrified silence. Each of them knew that had they been in Buffy's place they wouldn't be able to do the same. Angel suddenly pulled away and Buffy collapsed. Fred and Wesley rushed to help her up while Gunn helped Angel back onto the couch.

After checking Buffy, Wesley said, "We may need to take her to a hospital. She may need blood"

"Let's go" With that, Wesley and Fred left with Buffy. Gunn looked at Angel, and then at Conner then he walked over to Cordy and yelled her name.

Cordy suddenly recovered from her shock, "What the hell? What just happened here?" She moved over to Angel and just stared at his face. She spun around and looked at Conner, "And what exactly did you do to your father?"

(The next day) (Hospital)

"I'm fine, really. Wes you don't have to fuss. I'm much stronger than I look you know" Buffy said grinning up at her former Watcher.

"Yes, Yes I know. But slayer strength or not I do think you should consider staying a bit longer." Wes replied knowing all this talk wouldn't change her mind.

"Wes, I need to see Angel. I'm going. Ok?"

"Okay"

(The HQ)

Buffy and Angel are sitting net to each other. Conner is still tied to a chair. Cordy is pacing in front of them. Gunn and Fred are huddled together and Wes is just looking at Buffy thoughtfully.

"Will somebody please explain what happened already! Cordy said finally. "Where were you Angel? How is Conner involved and how did Buffy know where to find you?" she asked the last question jealously.

Angel noticed her tone and looked at her quickly. "Guys it's a long story"

"We have time" said Fred with an encouraging smile. Angel looked at Conner and then he told them everything that had happened.

Buffy had heard the story the day before but Angel caught her attention when he said he was going to the cliff to meet Cordy. At that, she suddenly realised that Angel had moved on. He didn't need her anymore, didn't need her the way he had in her dreams. 'Maybe I should just leave and let him go on with his life. He deserves to be happy. But I'm the one who found him. I'm the one he called out to. Those were dreams Buffy, get over it.' She was so busy with her own mental debate, Buffy didn't realise they were all looking at her expectantly.

"Buffy!"

"What?" she asked looking up to face them all.

"Nice of you to join us" Cordelia said with a sarcastic smile. Cordy was feeling a whole lot better when she heard that Angel had indeed been waiting for her. 'He loves me' she thought happily.

"Whatever Cordelia"

"Uh. Buffy, how did you know where I was?" Angel asked. The thought had been nagging him for a while. When he had been underwater, he had thought constantly of the A. I guys, mostly Cordelia. But towards the end of his stay, he had started dreaming about Buffy. How is it that she had found him and not the others?

Buffy looked a little nervous, "Isn't it enough that I found you?" she said smiling.

"Buffy"

"Ok Ok." She looked at Angel and suddenly the whole world disappeared. "You're Angel" she whispered leaning closer to him. "I can't explain it. I just knew you were hurting and I had to find you."

Buffy reached up and touched Angel's face. He closed his eyes, enjoying the feeling. They had both forgotten that they weren't alone. Buffy continued, "We got there a long time ago. You and I. The point where I smile when you smile, I'm sad when you're sad, I hurt when you hurt. We've been in sync for too long and I never lost that feeling. I don't know how to explain it. Every night I dreamed of when I sent you to hell and I just had to stop it from happening again. I'm so sorry I took so long." By now Buffy had tears running down her face and her lips were centimetres from Angel's. Just as he was about to kiss her,

"Ahem" Cordy interrupted them shooting death rays at Buffy with her eyes. "You're telling me you FELT your way to Angel?" she asked incredulously.

Buffy pulled away from Angel and just nodded. She then turned to everyone, "I know I was space girl for a while there but I gather you know about Conner." She walked over to Conner and said, "You and I, we need to have a talk. And no, I wont hurt him Angel so don't even say anything." She said cutting off her ex's protests before they started. "I know you want to handle this yourselves and I'm probably stepping over the line. But since none of you can stop me I guess there is nothing you can do." Buffy smirked at them. Before leaving the room with Conner she turned around and looked at the rest and said, "I was kidding" Big smile and walked out.

"So that was the slayer" Gunn said with an admiring look. "Wow. She's tiny"

"Yeh, but she can pack a punch" Angel winced, "I should know." The rest looked uncomfortable suddenly.

"What?" he asked. "Oh, listen, I'm not going to attack any of you. Buffy made me feed from her because as the slayer her blood is different and stronger."

"What did she mean when she said she'd done it before? asked Fred quietly.

Angel looked at her, "She was referring to something that happened just before I left Sunnydale. I'll tell you about it some other time."

"Yeh, Can we stop talking about her highness Buffy now?" Cordy snapped.

Angel looked up at her and his expression was suddenly troubled, "Uh, Cordy can we talk?"

"Sure" They left.

Wesley, Fred and Gunn just looked at each other.

"Damn, I don't know who's in more trouble, Father or son!"
