Chapter 8: Warm Welcome
What is this pain in the chest? It's not physical it's worse than a stab. What is this? Can't explain it. It's worse than any pain. How does it stop?!
Angel came down the stairs and looked around. Cordelia was at the desk looking over some papers. Wesley was in his office going over text with Fred and Gunn was making a list of all the weapons. He walked around the desk and went to the refrigerator and grabbed his coffee cup of blood. "Where is he?" he asked as he walked over to the microwave and started it. "Where do you think?" Cordelia said. The microwave beeped and he grabbed his coffee cup, "How long?" he asked as he started to walk away. "Since last night," she replied finally looking up and seeing Angel's retreating back. He didn't answer back he just walked across the lobby of the hotel and opened the door to the basement.
He could hear him punching the bag and he knew this time it was different. He and Andrew turned the basement into a training gym to stay in shape. He noticed that Andrew was waking up early going for long runs then going down to the basement. But this time it was more than usual. He stood on the stairs and watched his friend punch the bag over and over again. He could tell something was wrong because he wasn't wearing his boxing gloves nor was he wearing the tape they used. He would smell his the blood not from his mug but from Andrew's knuckles.
After they got to L.A. set up shop in an office, which pretty much blew up then, Angel found this old hotel. He and Andrew turned it into their home and office for Angel but he knew his friend was homesick. He watched Andrew deliver another punch this time knocking the bag off it's hinge.
"Well looks like we gotta get another bag. Again." Angel said as he fully walked down the stairs. Andrew looked at Angel and shook his head. He sat down on the bench and he put his head in his hands. Angel came and sat beside him, "Something's off with you."
Andrew just nodded, "I know. I'm off my game. Like last night, a fucking vampire knocked on the ground and almost used MY own stake to kill me! I can't sleep and my letters to Hermione are pretty much that keep me going and my brother."
"Why don't you go back home for a while?"
Andrew stood up and Angel could see the fresh bruises and cuts from last night as well as his scars from that night with Damien. He could also tell that he's gotten more fit and stronger than when he first met him. He could tell that Fred and Cordelia have been looking at his friend more. But he knew deep down that his friend should go home and make right with his family.
"Andrew you need to go home and be with your brother. Maybe find Hermione. You'll always have a place here with us. Think about it and let me know when you make your choice." Angel got up and patted his friend on the back and left the basement. When he got back upstairs everyone was waiting for him. They knew this talk was coming and before he could tell them what happened some one walked through the door.
*********************************
Andrew was on a step ladder fixing up the hinges for the punching bag. He heard the door open and got down from the step ladder and he picked up the punching bag with ease and started to hang it up again. "Don't think we need to get a new bag again." He said as he tested the bag to make sure it stays up. "I'm sure that's good news." The person said and Andrew stopped what he was doing. It was a different voice he never heard before. He stiffened at the voice, it was soft and gentle yet put him at ease. His heart was beating really fast and he had to control his breathing. He didn't know why he was feeling this. He was still sweating from his workout and his didn't go to Cordelia to bandage them up. He hasn't slept in days because of his nightmares. He hasn't even slept in his bed, it's always been the floor.
He slowly stepped down from the step ladder and turned around. There she was standing in front of him. The same chocolate brown eyes, the same beautiful face, the same ringlet flowing hair. In the next moment it was a blur. He rushed up to her and just let his lips crush hers. He didn't know what made him do it. He just had the urge to kiss her. This urge was so strong that when he felt her lips he didn't want to feel another's. He wrapped his arms around her waist and she wrapped hers around his neck. His heart was beating even faster and he felt like his body was being shocked. He felt tingles and he could swear he saw fireworks behind his eyes. He didn't want to let her go but he knew at some point he had to. He didn't want to believe that she was here. He wanted it to be a dream.
They finally broke apart and he backed away looking confused, "You're not here," he whispered. "You can't be," he rushed out of the basement leaving a dazed and confused Hermione.
Angel heard the door open and saw Andrew rush through the lobby and out the through the entrance of the hotel. Fred and Gunn rushed after him but came back and shook their heads, "He's too fast," Gunn said coming back in.
"He even forgot his shoes," Fred said with a sigh. Hermione came up behind them still with that dazed look in her eyes. Angel walked up to her and helped sit down on the couch. "What happened?"
She told them that he stood there one moment then he kissed then ran off. "Well I guess he doesn't want to hear the news about his brother," A voice said and they all turned around and this time it was Hermione's turn to be surprised.
*************************************
Andrew ran and ran he couldn't stop. It was just a dream. She couldn't be here not now. If she only knew everything. They can't be together not now, not while there's a war going on. His father and his brother would rip him apart. Voldemort would too after he did his research the fact that he grew up not to like Half-Bloods and Mudbloods and that's what Hermione is. His family wouldn't approve at all. He has to push her away. After he discovered who she was while they were exchanging letters he stopped writing her. She kept sending letters but he didn't respond. Not after what he learned. He had to push her away and keep her safe. This was the only way. How did she find him? Why was he feeling this way? He's loosing himself, he thought by leaving he would discover himself.
He finally stopped running and found himself at the edge of the city. He let out a scream and turned and punched the brick wall. He could hear his hand breaking and the walk shook. He felt some of the dust fall on his sweaty body. Looked up at the stars and one two of them were shinning brighter than the others. "Mom, dad I wish you were here. You could tell me what to do. I don't know where to go from here."
For the first time he felt tears run down his face. He touched his face and he felt the wetness on his face. He didn't understand, he sat down with is back agaisnt the wall and just let the tears come down.
********************
"Okay I'll go downtown and look around. Gunn and Cordelia check our stomping grounds. Fred and Wesely check by the pier. Hermione and Snape come with me. You both know him more than I do about him. Maybe you guys can think of any places he might go. Okay let's move." He said and every one went their separate ways.
"He likes solitude. So any buildings that can see the night sky without lights. That's where he'll be," Snape said as they got into Angel's car.
"I know just the place." He said as he started up the car and drove off.
"What's wrong with his brother?" He asked. Snape turned and looked at Hermione she has look of concern on her face and looked down at her hands in her lap.
"Come on, he told me everything. About how he's a wizard and he's adopted because his parents were murdered. His adoptive father is some Dark Lord and there's this war going on in that world. I know that Hermione is a Mudblood and that he's in love with her."
Hermione gasped at what he said. "It's true, every time he got a letter from you he would glow. He always talked about you when we had cases we couldn't figure out. He never said but I know he loves you."
"Now what's wrong with his brother."
Meanwhile Cordelia and Gunn were looking around old abandon buildings looking for Andrew.
"I just don't get it. What does he sees in her?" Cordelia asked.
"Fred?"
"No, that Hermione girl like I don't understand. Here I am, an attractive actress and he doesn't even give me a second look."
"Well maybe he has different taste in women."
"I mean come on what does she have that I don't?
"She's from England, smart, pretty, a nice witch, and top of her class."
Cordelia gave him a weird look, "What? He talks about her. Don't you pay attention?"
"Not when he's shirtless" she let out a giggle and Gunn just rolled his eyes.
At the pier, Wesely and Fred were walking through the crowd. "Why do you think he ran?" Fred asked trying to keep close to Wesely. "I'm not sure. Maybe he was thinking that she was a dream."
"Why would he think she's a dream though?"
"I figured because they were exchanging letters he was hoping to keep her at a distance to keep her safe." Fred looked at Wesely with a smile and she couldn't help but think that he knew what Andrew felt like.
"It's kind of like me when you all came and rescued me from that dimension. I thought this place was a dream until you helped me realized that this place was real. Maybe that's what Hermione needs to do is help him realize that she is real."
Wesley smiled at her, "You amaze me sometimes." He took her hand and they continued to look for Andrew.
*******************************
Angel rushed in with Andrew wrapped in a blanket. He put him on the couch, "We need to get him warm." Hermione and Snape started to work on a potion for him that will help. Just then the rest of the crew came rushing in. "What happened?" Fred ask rushing over to Andrew.
"We found him near the edge of the city. He keeps muttering something about Jon his brother. Something's happened to him," Angel said rushing another blanket to him, "He's freezing," he moved Andrew's head to put a pillow under him when he noticed the mark on his neck. "He needs blood."
"Potion is almost ready. It will help him replenish his blood." Hermione said as she and Snape were working as fast as they could.
"What he needs is a hospital!" Cordelia said rushing over with bandages. "Cordy they know what they're doing," Angel said looking at her sternly. She just ignored him and started to bandage his hands and she looked at him, "His hand's broken," she whispered and looked up at Angel. Hermione and Snape came over with the potion. Snape looked at his hand and pulled out his wand. Angel moved over and grabbed Cordelia out of the way. Snape whispered something and Andrew's hand was fixed.
Hermione helped Andrew up and opened his mouth slightly so that he could take the potion. Ever slowly Hermione poured some of the potion down and with ease Andrew took it. She put him back down and softly brushed his hair. She took his hand and sat on the floor since there was no where to sit on the couch.
"Come on let's give them some time alone." Every one retreated to Wesely's office.
"I know this came as a shock to you but I'll be here when you wake up. I promise." Hermione whispered and kissed his hand. Now that she found him she didn't want to loose him.
She came all this way to find him. She figured out where he was when he would send her his notes. She connected the dots. She didn't even tell Harry or Ron where she went. She even did research on Andrew and how he grew up. She knew she was taking a risk and she didn't mean to fall for him but she did.
She felt like this was a Romeo and Juliet situation. That kissed they shared was explosive. It didn't compare to what she and Harry had. This was different, she has butterflies in her stomach. She can't stop thinking about him, she felt tingles when he touched her. Her heart raced and she couldn't control her breathing and she didn't want to taste another's lips from this day forward. She will fight for him no matter what. She didn't care about his upbringing or what he believed as long as they were together that's all that mattered.
She was in love and hoped that what Angel said was true about him. What ever it took she would make sure he was always safe and stand by his side. Even if that means her friends would become her enemies. She never felt right fighting along side Harry. Not even once and now that she's here she feels as though she made the right decision.
All she knew right in this moment is that they were together and that's all that mattered.

She's finally where he needs her to be. Now the places are set. Time has come. All they need is for him to come home.
