ooc: Set after this and before this. The thread with Lindsey isn't done, but I wanted to go ahead and get this out so the timeline doesn't get held up. Plus I have time to actually write it tonight versus my schedule will be weird tomorrow. Thanks to Logan mun for letting me npc!It's been building for months now, but he's been fighting it as much

Phone call Friday morning

ooc: Hope it's okay to do this here. It seemed easier than putting up more posts!

While riding home after seeing the oracles, Cordelia takes Angel's advice and calls Harry. It's only dawn in LA, but should be late enough in New York that he'll be awake. She hopes. If she wakes him up, she'll feel bad, but Angel has her worried. He didn't make it sound like Harry was dealing very well.

She hits his speed dial number and waits for him to answer.

He's reclaimed his phone by now. The calm that settled over him was kind of strange. He was talking to Sirius and Jean-Paul about taking away some memories. About how life had come down to expecting the worse and usually getting what you expect. Angel hadn't told Kara what happened, and so far Harry hadn't either. He couldn't find the words.

He was trying to study, but mostly he was sitting at his desk, books open but unread, and trying to figure out what memories he would have removed if Sirius could do it. Jean-Paul went out to search for Cordy. Sirius offered to find out if she was dead or not, and Harry wasn't sure he wanted confirmation.

The phone rang, jarring him out of his thoughts, and when he saw the number he thought it must be another hallucination. After all he was expecting the worse. Picking it up on the second ring he said quietly, "Hello?"

"Hey, baby brother," she teased, smiling. "What's with the whispering? You in a library or something?"

Angel said he'd been having a hard time lately, so she was trying to keep things light.

"So, I went to see some oracles on Tuesday, and they didn't let me out until this morning. If I thought I could kill them, I would. I'm sorry if you were worried."

He waited until she finished speaking to check his phone to make sure it was on, and that her name was on the caller id. Check and check. It wasn't a hallucination. Cordelia was really back.

"They kept you for three days?" He asked, and she was greeted with his normal tone now. The shock was starting to wear off. "I thought...I mean, vanishing in California I figured..." You were dead. He doesn't finish the thought.

"Did they help you? If they kept you for three days did they at least figure out how to help you?"
