Chapter 33.

Indescribable Feelings

When Cory awoke the next morning the doctor was standing beside her bed. "Good morning, Agent Reid. I trust you slept well?"

Cory smiled. "Yes. Thank you. Doctor, Am I going to be able to go home today?"

"All of your vitals are normal, so yes you can."

Cory whispered a prayer of relief. "Thank you so much! Is it okay that I go back to work?"

"Yes. You are fully cleared. You will be released at 10am."

Cory sighed in relief. She knew that Danny was also being released today and was looking forward to spending some time with him.

A couple of hours later, she was still thinking about Danny. She was startled by a knock on her door. When she looked up she saw Lindsay and Flack standing at the door. "Hey, y'all. Did you come to break me out?"

Lindsay started laughing. "Don't like the hospital?"

Cory grinned. "It's not that, but the food sucks!" Cory noticed that Lindsay was holding a bag. "Please tell me that bag includes a toothbrush? Please!"

Lindsay nodded. "Yup. I picked up everything that you need for leaving the hospital. Change of clothes and of course some driving music! It is a two hour drive back to the city."

"I am forever in your debt." Cory jumped out of bed and grabbed the bag. She went into the adjoining bathroom so that she could change.

While they were waiting for Cory to come out of the bathroom, Flack put his arms around Lindsay and hugged her to his chest. "Promise me something?"

Lindsay looked up at him. "What?"

Flack stared down at her. "Never go off half-cocked like Cory did. I couldn't bear to lose you and then I'd have to kill someone to get you back." Flack smiled at her. "Beside…" Flack trailed off as Cory came back into the room.

Lindsay looked at Cory and then back to Flack. "Besides what?"

Flack just shook his head. "Ask me later."

Flack turned to Cory while she walked out of the bathroom. "Um, Cory?"

Cory looked at Flack, noticing his serious tone. "What's wrong?"

Flack looked down at his feet. "I want to apologize for what I said yesterday. I was out of line."

Cory smiled. "Flack. It's okay. I understand."

"Seriously, I want to explain. You're like my sister and I was just scared at what happened."

Cory looked at him. "Don. It's okay. I got that. Once the shock of what you said wore off, I understood where you were coming from. There is nothing to apologize for."

Lindsay felt relief that they had made up and turned to Cory. "You ready to go?"

"Let's blow the popsicle stand!" Cory just smiled as she said that. Both Flack and Lindsay laughed.

The made a stop to pick up Danny and made their way out to Flack's SUV. They got in the vehicle. Flack and Lindsay sat up front and Cory and Danny were in the back.

"Linds? What did you bring to listen to?" Cory gasped as Lindsay held up the Music for the Insane CD. "Hell, yeah! Whatcha waiting for? Put it in!"

Lindsay put the CD in the CD player while Danny looked at her with a questioning expression.

Cory smiled as the Top Gun Anthem came on. "I love this song! Hell, I love the movie!" Cory started humming along with it. "I am so happy to be out of the hospital!"

Danny looked at her. "So am I. What are you going to do with your day off?"

"Wow, I had even thought about it! I don't know. Hey, guys?" She moved forward so she could talk to Flack and Lindsay. "Are y'all off today?"

"Yes."

"Y'all want to come over for a movie fest? I'll cook."

Flack pretended to think about it. "Um, free food? I'm there. What are you going to feed me?"

Lindsay laughed as she played punched Flack in the arm. "Don! That's rude. But he has a good point. What are you going to cook?"

"Do you want spicy food?" She turned to Danny. "All three of y'all can talk it out. I'll give you a choice. Lasagna or enchiladas."

Cory let out a little squeal of happiness as the next song came on. "Flagpole Sitta! This is my favorite song to sing Karaoke.

I had visions, I was in them

I was looking into the mirror

To see a little bit clearer

The rottenness and evil in me

Fingertips have memories

Mine can't forget the curves of your body

And when I feel a bit naughty

I run it up the flagpole and see who salutes

(but no one ever does)

I'm not sick but I'm not well

And I'm so hot cause I'm in hell

Been around the world and found

That only stupid people are breeding

The cretins cloning and feeding

And I don't even own a TV

Put me in the hospital for nerves

And then they had to commit me

You told them all I was crazy

They cut off my legs now I'm an amputee, god damn you

I'm not sick but I'm not well

And I'm so hot cause I'm in hell

I'm not sick but I'm not well

And it's a sin to live so well

I wanna publish zines

And rage against machines

I wanna pierce my tongue

It doesn't hurt, it feels fine

The trivial sublime

I'd like to turn off time

And kill my mind

You kill my mind

Paranoia, paranoia

Everybody's coming to get me

Just say you never met me

I'm runnin' underground with the moles

Digging holes

Hear the voices in my head

I swear to god it sounds like they're snoring

But if you're bored then you're boring

The agony and the irony, they're killing me, oh

I'm not sick but I'm not well

And I'm so hot cause I'm in hell

I'm not sick but I'm not well

And it's a sin to live this well"

Cory was laughing as she finished singing the song. "That is such a fun song to sing to! And I totally agree with the second verse."

Danny looked at her in confusion. "What do you mean?"

Cory looked at him. "Only stupid people are breeding. I mean come on! Sometimes I talk to people and wonder when they were on Jerry Springer."

Danny laughed. "Okay. I agree with you. By the way, I want to try your enchiladas."

Cory nodded. "Okay. Flack, Linds, what about you?"

The two both voted for enchiladas, so the group decided to stop at the story on the way to Cory's apartment.

(Cory's apartment)

After stopping at the store, the two couples arrived back at Cory's apartment around 2 pm. Cory and Lindsay took the groceries into the kitchen.

"Hey guy! Since we picked out the movie last time, y'all can pick it out this time," Cory called over her shoulder.

Flack looked at Danny and they walked over to the shelves that held Cory's DVD collection. "Wow. Cory has a lot of DVD's. Danny, she has the organized by genre."

Danny looked at Flack. "Yeah. I know. She said it's because she is a very organized person and it's easier for her to choose what she wants. She does the same thing with her CD's."

Flack looked incredulous. "That's a little OCD."

Danny laughed. "A little, but did you see how many CD's she has? So what do you want to watch?"

Flack looked over the movies, carefully. "We could always watch horror movies! It gives the girls an excuse to cuddle with us." Flack was looking very smug while he began to read off some titles. "Look at this. Psycho, The Amityville Horror, Poltergeist, Tremors, all of the Nightmare on Elm Street movies, The Birds. And all of those are jut under the category of horror classics!"

Danny laughed. "Man. As much as I want to hold her in my arms, I don't want to watch a horror movie right now. What about an action flick? Or we could surprise them and watch a chick flick. You know that's the best way to get laid."

Flack looked thoughtful. "You're right. Let's move to the romance section, 'cause if those are chick flicks, nothing is!" Both Flack and Danny looked over the movies. "Ya know, man. I haven't seen the majority of these movies. Have you?"

Danny looked up. "Nope. Let's just pick two and see which one the girls want to watch."

Flack agreed. Both him and Danny picked out a movie and put it on Cory's coffee table.

Meanwhile in the kitchen, Cory and Lindsay were busy cooking. Lindsay looked a little lost. "I've never cooked enchiladas before. Is it hard?"

Cory smiled. "Not the way I make them. I make what's called stacked enchiladas. Basically it is a tortilla with enchilada sauce, cheese and onions on top of it. They are stacked like pancakes. Total prep and cooking time is less than 30 minutes. I'll make the sauce if you will grate the cheese and chop the onions."

Lindsay got Cory's food processor out and began to prepare the cheese and onions. When that was done, Cory got out a cutting board and took out the avocadoes and jalapeños that she had picked up at the store.

Lindsay watched in amazement as Cory diced the vegetables like a professional. Her eyes were watering a little at the heat from the jalapeños. When Cory was done the sauce was ready.

Cory walked into the living room to find the two men talking about baseball on the couch. They had turned on the Yankee game. "Guys? Hate to interrupt the sports talk, but do either of you want an egg with your enchiladas?"

Both men looked at her like she was crazy? Danny was the one who answered. "An egg? With enchiladas? We'll pass."

"Okay. You don't know what you are missing, though!" Cory walked back into the kitchen.

While Cory was frying up her egg, she directed Lindsay on how to prepare the enchiladas. When she was done, and the plates were in the oven letting the cheese melt, she called the men to the table.

"What do y'all want to drink? I have…water, juice, milk, sweet tea, Dr. Pepper and coffee."

Danny and Flack chose water, while Lindsay chose juice. Cory made the drinks and got herself a glass of sweet tea. While she was pouring the tea, Danny asked her what sweet tea was.

"Basically, it's iced tea that is sweet. I mean really sweet. It's good and it's a completely Southern drink. We have a fast food restaurant in Texas called Chicken Express. It sells its sweet tea by the gallon if you want buy it that way. It's so good!"

Danny looked at her. "I'll take your word for it."

When Cory had put the drinks down and everyone was sitting, she went to the oven and got their plates out. She put them in front of the hungry people with the caution that the plates were hot.

Flack and Danny looked at the plates in front of them. "I thought we were having enchiladas?"

"We are. These are called stacked enchiladas. Feel free to have any avocadoes or jalapeños with them."

Timidly, both Flack and Danny took bites. Flacks eyes opened wide. "Wow. These are good!" Cory smiled as Danny nodded and both men dug into the food in earnest.

Shortly all of them were done eating, Flack and Danny had seconds. Both groaned good-heartedly.

Cory laughed. "I told you to give it some time! These really do fill you up. Let me clean up and we can go watch some movies."

Lindsay shot Flack a look. He looked at her with his eyebrows raised. "What?"

"We cooked, you guys can clean. It's not a big mess."

Cory shook her head at Lindsay. "It's okay, Linds. I can clean. Besides, I have to put the extra sauce up."

Lindsay just grabbed Cory and dragged her into the living room. "You've been through a horrible ordeal and Flack and Danny can clean! That's final. Don't argue with me."

"Okay, okay, okay!" Cory turned back to the guys, who were already clearing the table. "There is a jar in the cabinet with the glasses. Just pour the sauce into it, put the lid on it and then put the sauce in the fridge. Other than that, if you need to know where anything is, just ask!"

Cory and Lindsay went to sit on the couch. Lindsay looked at Cory seriously. "So how are you holding up?"

Cory sighed. "Actually pretty well. I know I made a rash decision, but I still think that I did the right thing. Not to mention that I got to beat the crap out of Ortiz. That was very cathartic."

"So what's going on with you and Danny?"

"I'm not sure. I know he loves me and I love him, but…" Cory trailed off.

"But, what?" Lindsay asked.

"What happens when I go back to Dallas?" Cory shook herself a little. "Nevermind. I don't want to think about that tonight. I just want to be happy for the first time in six years. Let's see what movies the boy's picked out!" Cory leaned forward and grabbed the two movies off the table. "Bed of Roses? Sleepless in Seattle? They picked chick flicks! I totally expected them to pick a horror movie."

Lindsay looked at the movies. "I expected them to pick anything but a chick flick. I've seen your movie collection. They had plenty of choice. Not that I won't enjoy watching either one of those movies, I don't want them to watch it unless they want to."

Cory got a twinkle in her eye. "It's what, 3pm? We can watch two or three movies before the nights over." Cory got up and walked to her movies. Scanning the titles she picked out two other movies. "I want to see Sleepless in Seattle out of the two. How 'bout we also watch these? It should help to alleviate the chick flickness."

Lindsay looked at the movies she held up. They were Dogma and From Russia with Love. "Interesting choices. I think the guys will like them. And I agree. I just love Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan."

Flack and Danny walked out of the kitchen at that time. Danny looked at Cory, "So did you choose a movie?"

Cory smiled. "Actually we chose three. We have plenty of time." She held up the three movies. "As much as we appreciate the fact that y'all chose chick flicks, we also wanted to see something else. Does anyone have any objections?"

Flack and Danny just shook their heads, amazed that the women had thought of them. They both sat on the couch as Cory put in Dogma, and prepared to watch the movies.

A/N:

the little corinthian- I hope you got some sleep! As you can tell, Cory was very forgiving with him...She really does understand why he said what he said...Thanks!

chili-peppers- Fav ever! I feel so special! What can I saw, sometimes when people you care about act stupid, your brain disengages and your mouth just says whatever!

pnkrckprncss- Crossing over is the whole thing when (depending on your religion) you are judged and sent to either heaven or hell. In James' and Michael's case they were sent to heaven...Because of Cory's special abilities they were allowed to cross back over the "barrier" from the spiritual world to the physical world to help her out! (If you really want me to get very deep, pm me and I'll explain in more detail)! Glad you liked it...I really had to have some closure in James and Cory's relationship so that she did not feel guilty, soI was able to use Taylor to let her know! (Thank you so much Axellia!) Maybe, if I do a sequel, it will go the whole supernatural bent and incorporate more of that!

note to John-the-Geek---New job? And you are just telling me this! Bad friend, Bad, Bad, Friend! On a lighter note, thanks for the review and I had to look online to see what kind of bullets the an AK-47 actually took. They do also fire the Rem so I used that since it was less powerful and Cory would not die! Keep reviewing when you get to this part!
