Chapter Two
"Clark saved my, unfortunately my shirt couldn't be. So he was gentleman enough to lend me his jacket otherwise everyone would be getting an eyeful. The only ones who did were the attackers and of course Clark here." Cordy couldn't help but laugh at how red the young man had gone.
"But you are ok?" Lex stared at her.
"I am fine Lex but I suppose we'd better head back to the castle. Do you have a pen and paper?" Cordy asked Lana and waited for the owner of The Talon to come back with it. Leaning on the table she wrote out her home number, cell and email. "Promise me you will keep in touch, a girl can't have enough heroes in her life." It was the least she could do and if he didn't contact her that was fine.
"I promise." Clark smiled as Cordy hugged him.
Lex looked at the two youngsters and smiled. "This could be the start of a beautiful friendship."
Clark and Cordy both turned and glared at him, Lex couldn't stop the chuckle that escaped him.
"Thanks again Clark." Cordy smiled once more as she took hold of Lex's hand and the two of them walked out of The Talon.

It had been months since she had been back in Sunnydale her and Clark talked everyday either on the phone or through email. He was the first person she really trusted, apart from Oz of course. Everything had changed and she was so glad that she could talk to Clark he knew everything about her and her life here including be bait and in turn he opened up to her about his origins. Cordy was honoured that their trust had grown in leaps and bounds, the only problem was that she missed him there were times that all she wanted to do was wrap his strong arms around her and hold her so she could feel safe and protected.
Oz had become her best friend since finding Xander and Willow together he had visited her everyday in the hospital. At first he just sat there and listened as she vented and told him all the things she wanted to do to Xander. Slowly, bit by bit he started to talk himself and then before she knew it they had long deep meaningful conversations. Oz saw past Cordelia Chase and just knew Cordy, just as she got to know the musician and he also talked about what he felt like after he woke up from the change from being a werewolf.
Willow and Xander still tried to get them back but they had changed. She hardly spent time with her sheep,the cordettes. The only friends she really had were Oz and Clark. Everything had changed for her, she saw things completely differently and when she had looked at herself, she didn't like what she saw.
"God I am so pathetic." Cordy muttered to herself as her and Oz walked through the car park.
"What?" Oz grinned at her, used to her random comments.
"I was just thinking that you and Clark are the only friends I really have. What has my life become?"
Oz reached out and took hold of her hand. "It's could growing up."
"Well it sucks."

Willow lowered her eyes as she watched the person she had loved and also hurt so badly that he wouldn't even look at her. Oz wouldn't let her explain but it wasn't like Cordelia was with Xander, she told her verbally how she felt and the evil glares she sent their way. Not that the young red-head could blame her. Cordy had a rebar through the stomach; it could have killed her if she landed differently.
Buffy felt for her friends and even though she would stick up for them, it was their own fault. She wished that Oz would forgive Willow, but Xander was better of without Cordelia.
A new red truck passed them and parked up, the door swung open and out stood a tall 6ft odd cutie. Buffy's mouth dropped as she turned to her friends. Xander just glared at the new guy and Willow's expression mirrored her own.
"Let's be polite and go and introduce ourselves." Buffy said with a grin.
Willow's head bobbed in agreement, Xander just shook his in disbelief. But before they could make a step forwards they heard a very loud screech and one Cordelia Chase rushing past them.
"Clark?" Cordy could believe her eyes, as soon as she reached him jumping up into his arms.
Clark grinned at the dark haired whirlwind, holding her effortlessly in his muscular arms.
"So you're glad to see me then?" Clark's green eyes sparkled like gems, a huge smile on his face.
"You idiot why didn't you tell me you were coming?" The brunette slapped him on the arm.
"I wanted to surprise you. We're doing a school exchange thing. I am going to be here for a whole month."
Cordy put her arm through his and pulled him along to where Oz was still standing. "Where are you staying and if it is a hotel, well we can't have that. We have plenty of room. Any friend of the Luthor's my daddy will want to impress. Oz this is Clark, Clark this is Oz."
"So this is your only other friend." Oz smiled and held out his hand, his eyes narrowing ever so slightly. There was something off about his scent.
Clark gripped the other hand firmly, but not too firmly. "I'm glad Cordy has you. I just wish we lived closer so we could see more of each other. Talking on the phone and emailing is not quite the same."
"Well it's my job to show you around, let's go handsome." Cordy grinned at him.
"After you beautiful." Clark smirked back.
Cordy wrapped her other arm through Oz's as the three of them headed into the school.

Buffy turned open mouthed to her friends.
"How does she do it? I just don't believe it." The slayer walked slowly with her friends in the same direction as the very good looking new comer.
