Summary: A series of plots boiling down to one ultimate climax. This story is an idea I got after reading several stories. I started to draw from the ideas and start to input special little twist. This is also a crossover involving a Scooby Gang. Spike has his soul, but no one knows yet.
Spoilers: 4th Season
Disclaimer: The characters of the Buffy& Angel verses are copyright of Fox Twentieth Century, Monster Enemy and all those other people on top. Lyrics from Sophie B. Hawkins The Darkest Childe.
Distribution: Just tell me first
Notes: This is also added speculation on what’s going on in the fourth season. I heard some real big spoilers, but I won’t add to the rumors. ****- Means dream
Feedback: Do I want feedback? Of course I do it’s the only thing that keeps me writing.
Part 7: To Sleep Perchance To Dream
Cordelia shuddered with climax. That was the first time she had dreamt of Angelus’s hands on her. She got the same fearful arousal feeling. She wanted it again. She quickly exited the shower and started to dry herself off with the towel. She wrapped it around her chest and grabbed her brush. She brushed her back and went back into the room.
She didn’t notice Angelus in the corner or didn’t care to. Not bothering to get dressed she slipped under the cool covers. She wanted to stop herself, but couldn’t. These dreams or fantasies were addictive and she didn’t care whether it was Angel or Angelus. In her mind they were the same person just different persona or something like that. She didn’t even registered the dip in the bed or the cool body that moved closer to her all she felt was her fantasy as Angelus started to massage her clit with his cool hands.
***
She started to raise her hips up to meet my strokes. She was murmuring rubbish as she pushed down harder to gain contact. Angelus slipped the covers off of her. Her glorious body lay before him./Oh the things I’m going to do./ HE positioned his body above hers and started to trail kisses down her body. Letting his tongue grace her salty sweat graced flesh. He started to take off his shirt and pressed their bodies together.
It felt so right to him. Like fire and ice or some crap like that. HE started to suck on her nipples. Teasing the pebbles with his fangs. She arched back into him. “ Angel.” She sighed huskily.
Normally Angelus would have said something witty about how Angel was gone, but he couldn’t. She wasn’t thinking of him. Not right now anyway. He stopped himself and moved off of her. HE heard her whimpered cry and denied it. As he slipped his shirt back on. “ Plenty of other people in Sunnydale to torment. Yeah, the Magic Box is open.” He said to himself.
***
Angelus had been looking through pictures of Buffy, Cordelia and other members of the Scooby or Fang Gang. Though he really didn’t’ recognize who they were. They intrigued him. / Maybe they’ll make very good kills./ He’d also been given handfuls on his ‘future’ self and the changes they had made. He didn’t like him. There definitely wasn’t enough room for two of him.
“ Have you read all you need to read?” Lilah asked.
“ No, but if you untie me now it won’t really matter. I’ll kill you no matter what.” He replied. Lilah felt a shiver run down her spine.
“ Don’t worry I’ll take care of all my other business first. You’ll be my special project.” He said. The guards neared him and nervously untied him. When he got just one of his arms free he grabbed on of the guards and drained him in an instant.
“ Next time you decide to try and kidnap a vampire make sure you keep him fed, or else stuff like ,” Angelus began before grabbing Lilah by the throat and drinking heavily from her. He let her drop to the floor before she could die. ‘ that will happen. You say everything is going down in Sunnydale. I think I’ll find my way there.”
Part 8: Seeing Double
Buffy was looking through a book that Wesley had handed her. Something concerning the ways a soul can be stolen. “ I’m hungry.” Xander said looking up from his book.
“ Go eat.” Gunn replied coldly. He was hungry as well, but the situation was much more important. Xander gave him a scowl and grabbed his coat. He was gone in the next few seconds.
“ Maybe it isn’t a spell we’ve heard of.” Anya suggested. Everyone turned to her and waited. “ Well back during my first demon days there were warlocks, witches all that stuff who were powerful. Some even created their own types of magic. The ones that did they had techinics and stuff like that. We may not be dealing with anything that’s in the books. Spells that are actually used for stealing souls are pretty mundane and don’t always work. Anyway they’re usually for humans and most have to be used as soon as they are taken.”
“ Damn it!” Wesley yelled. “ I can’t believe I didn’t think of it before.”
“ Didn’t think of what before?” Fred questioned.
“ This is definitely magic yes, but who has enough power to get a hold of this kind of magic?”
“ Wolfram & Hart, but that still wouldn’t explain what’s going on with Barbie.” Gunn piped.
“ WE have to get back L.A. Maybe figure things out. Pay Lilah a visit.”
“ English, I know it’s been a long time since you’ve had a booty call with lawyer girl, but seriously sleeping with The enemy. At a time like this.” Gunn joked coolly. Wesley gave him a stony glower.
“ WE need to get Cordy first. I mean she still isn’t here.” Fred observed. “ We’ll need Angel too. Don’t we have the soul restoration spell just case?”
“ Yeah, but we’d need to catch him first.”
“ That would be the problem.” Wesley replied. HE took off his glasses and pinched the bridge of his nose. “ Gunn call Cordelia. Tell her we need her to get over here.”
Gunn pulled out his cell and quickly placed the call.
***
Cordelia finished brushing her hair back and checked her reflection in the mirror. “ Eh, it’ll do.” She said to herself. She nearly jumped out of her skin when her cell rang.
“ Hello,” she said into the phone when she picked it up.
“ Cordy, Wes says he needs you to get over here now.” Gunn said over the phone.
“ Sure, I’ll be right there.” She replied, before hanging up.
***
Angelus stepped off the bus and took a look around the small town. “ This is definitely a get in get out situation. Stay here long enough and I’ll die.” He said to himself as he started to walk through the nearly deserted streets.
His eye caught something a little bit down. Dark hair. “ There I am.” He said realizing he was looking at his future self. He could tell something was off. The soul that was supposedly supposed to be there he could tell wasn’t. “ This could complicate things a little.” He said as he started towards him.
He felt a sharp pain in his gut. HE needed to eat, and he took a look around. Nothing suitable. He took another look at his ‘future’ self. / What the hell is he looking at? / Angelus wondered.
***
“ So what exactly is it that you want me to do?” Cordelia questioned. Everyone was giving Wesley the same are you crazy look.
“Be bait for Angel.” Wesley replied.
“ Exactly how am I supposed to do this. Huh, flaunt my neck cleavage in the cemetery?” Cordelia mused angrily. / There is no way I’m going to put myself out there/
“ Couldn’t Cordelia just use her new power?” Fred suggested.
“ MY power purifies and cleanses negative and dark energy. We’d just have a very complacent Angelus. Not a very soul having Angel.” Cordelia replied.
***
Lilah and Gavin were in the front of the van. With three armed workers in the back.
“ Get prepared to grab the seer.” Lilah said harshly. She rubbed her throat gingerly. IT hurt her to yell, but if she left everything up to Parks they’d all go to hell? Well they’d get there faster.
They were across the street from the Magic Box waiting for either Angel or Angelus to make their presence known. Or for the seer to get out. Right now the plan was going to hell. / If we don’t get this to work the senior partners will have our ass. They needed the Cordelia’s blood, to get Angel. Hopefully it would ensure that they finally got Angelus for their side.
***
Angel watched from outside the shop as the group discussed how to capture him. They really didn’t believe it be that easy did they? Not that he’d turn up a chance to drink Cordelia’s blood. HE just wouldn’t fall for it if it be that easy.
He sensed the prescence before it got to close. When he shifted his body he was face to face himself. “ What the fuck?” he said darkly.
“ I know I’m just that good looking. It seems you’ve let us go to hell in more ways than one. I’m here to change that.” Angelus said happily.
Part 9: Captured
Lilah and Gavin sat in the front seat of a black van (A/N- Like that's original) infront of the Magic Box. Watching as Angel and Angelus had a stand off..
" Your plan has went to shit, Lilah, this whole let things destroy themselves theory is bull. I doubt either will go after the seer intending to kill, but that's what we need her. Dead. I also think whatever junk you had that warlock do to the girl is making her want him. Which means we won't be able to go after him without trouble. Oh yes and you still need to make sure you do this within a few days. Shame isn't it. The senior partners don' t trust you enough to let you make things o. You have deadlines now."
" Shut, up Gavin." Lilah snapped. She looked to the passengers in the back. " Just get the girl and don't cause trouble. Leave Angel alive. Both of them."
The four extra passengers got out of the van and headed for the Magic Box just as Buffy, Spike, Connor, and Gunn left.
" They just made this a whole lot easier." Lilah said happily. She pulled out her cell and dialed. " Set everything up. You see Gavin this is all going to workout."
***
Angel really wasn't liking the situation. Here he was ready to claim what was his and he had to deal with this. / Nothing is ever easy. But if this ass thought he'd have Cordelia well then he'd have to go through him/ Angel stopped and realized how dumb his thought was, but it didn't matter he'd get Cordelia and he didn't care who he went through.
" How exactly do think you're going to change that?" Angel inquired.
" Have a little fun take a few lives." Angelus said with a wave of his hands. " Just make my name known again. Make friends with all those lady friends of yours. Especially the girlfriend. She is like no other. I can tell just by seeing her now. Does she always wear white, or is it something to make you feel better?"
Angel and Angelus didn't even notice as the four men entered the Magic Box.
"What in the name of the Parent trap is going on?" Buffy squealed. She and Gunn had emerged from the alley first to see both of them.
***
"Wesley what don't get is why we don't just do the spell to restore Angel's soul?" Willow inquired.
" Because he didn't lose it in the same way. You saw what happened. One minute he was Angel gone all broodsome the next he was Angelus groping Cordelia like it didn't matter. There is something else behind this." Wesley said as a black clad customer walked past him. / Weird? I thought Anya closed the shop? /
Fred put down the book she was reading, and noticed that one of the new customers was looking at Cordelia oddly. She was about to move towards Cordelia to tell her when she felt the cool metal touch the side of her face. She didn't need to ask what it was as she saw that Wesley, Anya, and Willow were in the same position.
***
Angel, Angelus, Buffy, etc. were far enough out of the way that Xander didn' t notice them as he headed back into the Magic Box.
" Hey guys, I'm back and I've brought pizza!" said cheerfully.
Pop! Went the sound of a gun.
