Cordy! From thepowerplayers

Jan 01, 2007 15:55

Wesley, Gunn and Illyria walked in on Faith and I, catching us in what could only be described as a compromising position, and I was thinking, what next? It had been the most odd night that you could have. We defeated the Black Thorn and killed most if not all of the thousands of demons, but not without a heavy cost. Twenty and more slayers had been killed, with a daring plan of attack that was foolish, sent by Giles and it filled me with misery on what otherwise could have been an amazing night. Faith didn't blame me for the death's, and as it turned out, in a shock to me, both in that it happened and that I wanted it to continue. That, though, had created friction between Faith, myself and Buffy, which led to some doubt for me, and a fight between Faith and Spike that I got involved in, and unfortunately, things were done there that shouldn't have.

Now, Faith and I after getting dressed, learned that Jada had disappeared. She was one of the four slayers that remained now, and there seemed to be no real clues. Wesley had spoke of the templates giving he, Gunn and Illyria some information about an Italian with magical abilities, because her disappearance coincided with a vampire attack that left Gunn knocked out, yet put safely on the couch in the lobby here in the Hyperion, which of course, none of us had seen.

There wasn't much that we could do, but being that this being who seemed to be with Jada in some way, was Italian, there was a name that sprung immediately to my mind, and I sent Wesley and Gunn away to research the Immortal, and Illyria followed.

Faith was intense about wanting to do something about this, so now, we walked out of the bedroom and though it wasn't necessarily the Immortal, I knew that we needed to find Jada. Enough slayers had been lost and we had to work on this. As we walked out of the door, I nearly felt my insides sink down to my shoes and felt my body go numb, as I held Faith's hand and saw myself looking at Cordy.

Cordy!

I didn't know what to think. I didn't know if she was depressed seeing me and Faith holding hands. I didn't know why she was back, or why she was with the Eternal, the full immortal brother of the Immortal, who had long since given up being in any way evil.

All that I knew was that I found myself hugging her, and looking at Ludwig...the Eternal's name, who watched me as I hugged Cordy.

"How? Why...How are you back, Cordy? You were...you were pronounced dead and we buried you..."

I looked at the Eternal. There had been talks about he and his brother having the power to raise those who had died unnaturally, but that didn't mean that he had raised Cordy...although what else could it be?

I stood next to Faith again and looked at Cordy and the Eternal, who stood together like Faith and I were and I knew that I had sensed it on them when I hugged Cordy; she and the Eternal had been together sexually. It brought out more questions and made me wonder why the Eternal would have raised Cordy from the grave, if in fact he did. We had problems to worry about involving Jada, and I was glad that Cordy was alive, and that fact brought happiness back in when there were crisises abounding, but questions still remained.

"Eternal, I know you are good, but am I to believe that the myth is real? You do have the powers to raise those taken away unnaturally and that you, for some reason, used your powers on my best friend?"

My best friend, who I had wanted to be my lover not too long ago...a fact, that even though I was now with Faith, was in my mind.

"A slayer has disappeared tonight, Eternal. Is your pain in the ass brother in Los Angeles, just as you are?"

[Cordy, The Eternal and Faith]
