The Vision

Feb 16, 2006 10:53

At first I didn't know what I was looking at exactly... I didn't know if what I was seeing was part of a dream, part of reality or a vision of some sort. It didn't feel like any of those things, really, but only at first. My mouth felt dry, my body felt... just icky all around, like, I needed a good long, long bath, and my hair- I didn't know ( Read more... )

Sitting there with Spike, discussing our prior evil and how we were monsters at one point but now had a choice, and a mission, and that this slayer, Dana, who had been taken away from us by Andrew in a double cross move, was a bigger monster then we were brought me to two places that I really didn't want to be. First of all, I had worked really hard to try to atone for my past and it didn't help that those gray areas kept being brought up with running Wolfram and Hart. Secondly, I definitely didn't want to sit here with Spike and relive our pasts, because he was such a pain in the ass. I didn't want to see him get his hands chopped off, either...well...that wasn't the worst part in all of this, but I had warned him, and if he was part of our team in anyway, then him fighting with no hands wasn't useful to any of us.

I was able to get out of there. It was hard to accept Spike being corporeal and sticking around. If whoever had set us up, Serk and whoever else, who I would find, hadn't set us up with the fake shanshu cup of torment, ( ... )

I paced the room, wondering if I should wait, if I should go to the Hyperion and look for Angel myself? Wondering if I should try calling Willow or Xander again just incase I had dialed the numbers wrong. I thought about the vision, what I had seen, looked for any clues or anything that could tell us how long we had before it happened. And somewhere in the back of my mind I also wondered how long I had been in the hospital. What I had missed... wondered how Angel, and Connor and Wesley, and Fred, Gunn and Lorne were doing.

Finally, I simply sat down on the bed and tried to relax. Tried to tell myself that everything was going to be okay, that somehow or another, things would work out, they always did, right? I mean, we were Angel Investigations still, right? And we helped people...we helped the helpless. We always pulled through somehow... right? But the magnitude of the vision was just too great, too horrible and too real to not get half a heart attack.

"Cordy, what is it?"The voice startled me out the panic and there ( ... )

"Angel, I had a vision. A strong vision that woke me out of whatever vegetative state I was in."

She was so rushed, so panicked. I could sense it before I got in here. I hated seeing it. A vision had taken her from the coma, but something obviously was very wrong and my heart went out to her. She didn't deserve this right now. Let alone that there was something terribly wrong, and there always had to be that.

"There was an explosion, somewhere far... and Willow was there and Giles, and Xander and Dawn, and a whole bunch of other people-- girls, in this big, house, building maybe? And everything happened so fast. At first, I don't know, at first I thought, that- maybe I was dreaming, but hello? The last thing I remembered before the vision was giving birth to a god with crazy world peace plans, so- yeah... not really a dream. And- and everyone was dead... and I tried calling Willow and Buffy and Xander, but I couldn't get through to anyone..."Part of me was hoping that this was all a nightmare that she had experinced before waking ( ... )

Angel got on the phone quick; I was amazed at how he handled the thing, when before he couldn't even touch it. And after the shock of it all had left I was going to ask him what the whole 'Harmony' deal was all about. But right now? Right now, I couldn't do anything but replay what I had seen in my head. I knew it was too late. Maybe I had known all along and I just didn't act quickly enough.

If I had woken up from this god forsaken coma earlier, maybe none of this would have happened. Maybe if...

My head was spinning. We were too late.

This was just too much... too much all at once. This is not how one should wake up from a coma. I wanted to get mad at the PTB's for showing me something like this- why would they show me something like this when there was nothing we could do? What was the point in it? Was this some type of cruel joke or something?

"The building...the building is gone, Cordelia. It's gone."I looked up at Angel, and I could feel the tears rising. I didn't want to cry. In fact, I wasn't gonna. I was ( ... )
