Title:
Just when you think there's nothing left...
Author: Boyslayer
Rating: I suppose PG-13 or M, it might change...
Email: boyslayer@hotmail.com
Content: C/A, the FG, flashbacks, F/G also.
Summary: Ok, this is my response to my own challenge, I finally got the guts to
write so here it is! Cordy goes on a journey she least expected to and drags
Fred, Gunn and Wes along for the ride.
Spoilers: Anything in season 3 could be in here, BtVS may come up but the
scoobies have better things to do than run around LA annoying the FG.
Disclaimer: Well, I would go beg Joss for 'em but I can't be bothered, also I
don't want a restraining order on me... SO no, technically not mine, but
I can dream right???
Distribution: Nothing fancy has my ok, it's gonna go on my page too but anyone
else MUST ask me, k?
Notes: Ok, Cordy, Connor and Angel have been gone for 6 months, the first
chapter is angsty but the fic wont be for the main part, it's just how I think
they would be if their friends were gone for 6 months. Connor hasn't stuck
around, I don't plan to bring him in at the moment as I can't really be
bothered, so lets just say he disappeared off the face of the earth like Faith,
Dru, Oz and Lindsay. *shrugs*
Feedback: Heya, this is my first attempt at writing a fic, I hope ya'll like it,
please give me feedback as I have no idea it it's good or not. The chapters for
this will probably be short and spread out as I have school commitments.
And now for the fic...
The hotel these days was as cold and lonely on the inside as it appeared on the
outside. A lone force for good which stood solitary amongst the darkness that
was often overlooked during the day. With their family gone, the last two were
struggling to keep the agency open and were no longer the powerful force that
could make the monsters of the underworld tremble, they were alone, and their
hope was slowly running out.
"Charles?" Fred called out, only to hear nothing as she looked for her
boyfriend.
There was no doubt in her mind, he would be where he always was these days,
training. Without the rest of the team Gunn had become solitary again, living
only to train and to keep fighting the good fight. The only problem is that the
fight was taking him whole. It wasn't that he treated her any different but the
sparkle that had been there before was now just a dull roar.
"Heya babygirl" he greeted her as he went to hug her, she fell into
his warm embrace, Fred always considered herself the optimist but she was also a
realist, it's funny what 5 years in cave can do to you, she thought. Gunn kept
hoping that they would come back, that he could protect Fred, that he could do
everything, but he couldn't, Gunn had to face facts, they were broke, broken and
had to let go.
"Gunn, we have to" she whispered so low that she was surprised that he
could actually hear her.
"No, we can stay for about another month, we'll find them, we will, I
promise you" she told her desperately, trying to convince himself as well
as her.
"No, we can't, it's over, I can't give up on them, but I have to let go of
this place, it's killing me, it's killing you, without them we have to let it
go" she said, her voice breaking with the strain that the words were
causing her as the sobs racked her body.
Gunn looked at the woman he admired for so many reasons, wanted to protect,
loved with all of his soul and he came to the realisation that he had been
avoiding since their family disappeared more than 6 months ago.
"I know" he whispered as he cupped her cheek and kissed her, the kiss
was bittersweet as they were sad, but knew one day that they would find their
friends but not now.
As they were about to walk out of the hotel and leave that chapter of their
lives behind them they were blinded by a white light, Fred's jaw dropped as
strong winds engulfed them both, "Do you think?" she asked her
boyfriend, whose eyes were finally re-gaining some of the sparkle that they once
had.
As the light dissipated they saw the one person who had the power to make things
right, the heart of their family and the one who could make them whole again,
and she was currently moaning over the color of her dress.
Cordelia looked up from the ugly white gown and smiled the brightest smile they
had seen in a long time, "Hi Guys, miss me?"
TBC...
