I own none of the characters of Angel
Damn she tastes sweet. Angelus thought Too bad there isn't more of her. Oh well. The satisfaction of killing the woman that Angel loves will tie me over for now." Suddenly he felt a kick to his lower back.
"God Dammit." Angelus muttered as he roughly threw Cordy to the ground. "I was in the middle of dinner."
"Sorry to interrupt." A familiar voice said from behind him. "Actually no I'm not."
"Buffy." Angelus said as he turned around.
"Hey there honey. Did you miss me?" She asked him
"How about I show you how much I did?" He sneered.
"Now!" Buffy screamed as Angelus rushed towards her.
He didn't get too far before he was shot with 2 tranquillizers, 1 each by Conner and Gunn.
"Son of a bitch." He yelled. Between the tranq that Cordy stabbed him with and the 2 shots that he just received he lost his momentum and was slowed down enough that Buffy was able to kick him in the face and knock him unconscious.
"Fred, Lorne, check on Cordy." Wes yelled
"OK, he won't be down long. Gunn, Conner cuff and tie him up before he comes back." Buffy said and she ran over to check on Cordy.
"How is she?" Buffy asked
"Her pulse is barely there. She needs a hospital. She has lost a lot of blood and her wound won't stop bleeding." Fred said applying pressure to the wound but blood was still pouring out.
"The ambulance is on the way." As soon as the words were out of Lorne's mouth they all heard the sirens.
"We have to get Angelus out of here. NOW." Wes said
The gang loaded Angelus into the trunk of Angel's car and speed out just as the ambulance pulled up.
"She was attacked. She has lost a lot of blood." Fred explained. The paramedics quickly loaded Cordy into the ambulance and whisked her away to the hospital.

Angelus felt groggy. He vision was blurry. He couldn't move. Why the hell can't I move? He thought. Then he realized that he was chained to a chair.
"Hell no. Hell no. Hell no." Angelus snapped.
"Hell yes, you son of a bitch." Gunn said
"Oh, by the way, how is little Freddy feeling?" Angelus snickered and Gun punched him in the face.
"Oh well, at least I had my final meal. Yummy. Cordy tasted so sweet." Angelus licked his lips. "Oh yes, sweet revenge. When you dumbasses bring back Angel he will have to come back to a life without the woman he loves. That makes it all worth it. Angel will spend the rest of eternity miserable, knowing that I killed Cordelia." Angelus laughed.
"Would you please get rid of this sorry bastard?" Wes asked the gypsies.
"Yes sir. It will be our pleasure." Replied the gypsy leader.
"This will not be the last that see of me. I will be back."
"I wouldn't count on it." Conner replied.
"Aww come on son. You know that you want daddy to hang around. We could really bond during a ball game or we could go fishing. A real father son outing."
"Gee dad. I it will be hard, but I think that I can survive the rest of my life without bonding with you." Conner said
"Enough already. Can we just get on with it?" Buffy snapped
"Yes, lets." Wes said to the gypsies.
As the gypsies began their reinsoulment spell Angelus was cursing everyone in the room to hell. The gang could tell that he was in panic mode. He didn't want to leave. As soon as the last words of the spell came out of the gypsy leaders mouth Angelus screamed.
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO" The bright light came through the evil vampire and he collapsed.
The gang stood around watching Angelus/Angel wondering who was going to wake up? They all hoped that it would be Angel. They suddenly heard moaning coming from the chair.
"Oh God." Came the voice from the chair.
"Angel?" Wes asked as he moved cautiously toward the chair.
"It's me." The voice said.
"Did it work?" Buffy asked the gypsy leader.
"It worked. His soul has returned." The leader replied.
"Cordy?" A desperate Angel asked. "Is she………" he couldn't even begin to finish the sentence.
"We don't know. She is at the hospital." Gunn said
"Get me out of here." Angel said as he struggled against the chains. "Now."
"Ok dad. Just relax." Conner said as he began to unchain his father.
"Conner please hurry, I have to get to the hospital."
"I know, I know." Conner said softly.
Five minutes later Angel was a free man again. He quickly stood up and a wave of dizziness took him over and he fell to the ground.
"Angel, the tranquillizers are still in your system. You have to move slowly." Wes said.
"Wes, I have to get to the hospital." Angel begged with tears in his eyes. "I have to see her."
"Come on. We will take you to Cordy." Buffy said. Angel had forgotten that she was still there.
"Buffy thank you for what you did."
"It's my job."
"Your job is to stake vampires, not save them."
"Yeah, well I guess it depends on the vampire." She said, "Let's go."
On the way to the hospital Buffy finally broached the subject of Cordy with Angel.
"So how long have you and Cordy been, well, you and Cordy?"
"You know?" Buffy shook her head.
"Right before I was captured by Wolfram & Hart we finally admitted our feelings for each other. That was as far as we got." Angel said, sadly.
"Is it serious?"
"I was hoping that it could be. But, I have never felt this way about anyone before."
"Not even me?" She asked
"Buffy, what you and I had, well, you were my first love. It was different and a part of me will always love you, but with Cordy it's different. I just can't explain it."
"I understand. I have found someone else too."
"Really. Who is it?" Angel was genuinely happy for her.
"Trust me, you don't want to know." She replied with a smile
Fred was waiting on the hall when they arrived at the hospital.
"Fred, I am so sorry." Angel said and he took Fred in his arms and hugged her tightly.
"Angel." Fred gasped. "Can't breathe."
"Opps. I forgot my own strength." Angel said sheepishly. "Fred, please forgive me for what I did to you."
"Angel, I know that it wasn't you. I am fine with it." She said.
Angel began looking around. He noticed Cordy lying in the bed, not moving.
"How is she?" He asked
"She is in a coma." The doctor said as he came out of Cordy's room.
