Unnaturally Yours
Author's note: This story is about Buffy & Spike, Angel, Cordelia, and Connor & Dawn. I am going to rewrite some history, just pretend that season 4 & some of season 5 did not happen but leave Buffy alone. See in the story we pick up where Angel left off but I am leaving out some story lines. There was not a Cordelia & Connor hook up (I mean that is just gross anyways.) Cordelia did not become a higher power but her & Angel never did meet up that night either. Cordelia got into a major car crash; she ended up in a coma. Angel & Cordelia will hook up in this story. It will be mostly about Dawn & Connor though. After the final fight, L.A. was gone. Connor left to check on his real life, everything was gone.
Prologue: In the Beginning
The ones who survived were Angel, Spike, Connor, Illra, and Harmony. They won and killed all the black thorn members. The wolfram & heart law firm was no more. After the fight, they all split up. Angel went to go find his son. It was not hard because he was just standing there sifting through the rubble of a life destroyed. Before I forget Lindsey, (the hot bad person did not die.) Lorne thought that he had killed him but Lindsey switched the bullets in the gun so everyone would think he was dead. After the final fight was over Lorne left, (his where a bouts are unknown.)
Lindsey vowed vengeance against Angel for what he tried to do to him. Whoever lived was supposed to meet up in London, England. What they did not know was that Buffy, Dawn, Faith, Robin, Giles, Willow, Xander, and the other slayers were all there in London already. The immortal did not know where they were; in fact, he was hunting them. Kennedy was not with them, she was under the immortal's spell, and she was his willing slave. Willow's heart was broken but she had to leave her behind for the greater good.
When the L.A. gang finally gets to London, they are in for the surprise of their lives. None of them expected to live, to see the next day, Spike and Angel certainly never expected to see Buffy ever again. I guess they are all in for a real shocker. I suppose it is a weird twist of fate that they all wind up in the same city at the same time. Angel & Connor were on their way to a private airstrip to fly out on the last private jet. When Spike & Illra showed up, they did not really want to go with Angel but it was the only safe ride out of the city. Spike and Angel were going to butt heads but they both agreed that there was not any time to fight.
They needed to leave now or they never would, there was not a second to lose. As they took off, they did not know Harmony had stowed away underneath the plane where luggage goes. Lindsey had other ways to get there. He was not going to let Angel get away with what he tried to do. Lindsey was on the side of good until Angel tried to have him killed, that made him turn back to his true nature. He would not rest until he took everything from Angel, including his life. He was going to make Angel long for death, then give it to him. Lindsey had a plan to destroy Angel, (Lindsey's girlfriend died in the rubble). The only reason that Connor went with them is because he wanted to see Cordelia and he did not have anything holding him there. Everything normal that he had in his life was now gone. The family that adopted him all perished in a battle they were not even fighting.
Angel promised him, that he would help him have a normal life again but Connor did not want a normal life any more. Connor remembered both of his lives now, the destroyer and the one he had with his adopted family. One was life seemed more real than the other life did but he did not want to face it until now.
He said, "It's useless for people like us to try to have anything like that. You see it. We can try but you of all people should know; you could not fight your destiny. I want you to train me to be a hunter as I was before. When I was the destroyer?"
This is not the life that Angel wanted for him but Connor was stubborn Angel agreed to retrain him, on one condition Connor would have to enroll in a school of Angel's choosing & keep his grades up. That was never a problem before but his life was not so complicated then as it was now. The one that they settled on is; white planes academy. They did not know that Dawn was registered; at the same school but not under her own name, the name she was using was Dawn snow, (She could not use her own real name because the immortal was after them.) The name that he ended up using was Connor Angel.
The first semester was almost over, Dawn was there since the beginning of school, and Connor was so far behind. If he was ever going to catch up with the rest of the class, he needed help, whether Connor wanted to admit it or not. He was a hunter in another life & a straight A student in a former life as well but he was never both at the same time. He did not realize how it would be to do both. It is as if he is living two different lives at the same time.
Dawn totally gets it but Connor does not & who knows if he ever will. Dawn may not be the slayer but her life has always been confusing because of Buffy. As crazy & messed up as her life is, Dawn would not want it any other way but she still could not help wanting something simple in her life. School is that escape for Dawn, Connor of course did not see it that way. School was something to get through until your real life started anyways.
The strange thing is; Dawn & Connor both had a dream about one another at the same time. The night it happened was the night before they even met one another. Connor & Angel had been in London for less than a day. They rented a cheap motel room; Spike & Illra rented a room next door. It is not like that, so do not go there. P.S: Charles Gunn died fighting. Dawn's 16 years old, Connor is 17 years old.
