This bit --> She knew what it was to be at war with herself, to know her destiny and all that she was capable of and wish that it was less, different, more innocent. He had not allowed her that sympathy, that moment of connection to him, yet still she reached out. By the apathy of whatever powers were out there—she was trying to save him. <-- stuck with me the most. It's lovely and full of emotion.
And this bit --> “There with the modesty again. You don’t seem to understand. The Immortal is big and strong. You’re a bum without hair gel. He could so kick your ass.” <-- cracked me up the most. :D
I'm also really impressed with your handling of Angel's darker impulses. It's a good thing when descriptions of his thoughts freak me out because of their extreme-crazy-evil-Angelus nature, but then I can still be pulled back into loving him because he's Angel. And the whole part with him knowing he wouldn't be any more worthy in her eyes for having a soul goes along with my musings last time, but the fact that she's not killed him yet even though at this point his being alive is more of a liability than an asset gives me hope.

And that very last bit was pretty.
