Spoilers: Season 7 Buffy, up to (And maybe including, haven't decided yet) Infinite Crisis in DC, and mid-to late ninties issues of various X-Men, X-Force, that sort of thing. I'm sorry, but current Marvel really sucks.
Rating: T/pg-13 (for the moment)
Pairings: Dawn/Bart Allen (Kid Flash), mentions of Robin/Batgirl, Wondegirl/Superboy, maybe Connor(Angel's son)/Greta or Connor/Cissie
Summary: During the fight against the First, Dawn falls through a potal which sends her to an alternate dimension. Unable to return home, Dawn makes a new life for herself, only there's a couple problems: her new boyfriend is anything but normal, and how exactly is she related to the Summers family anyway?
To my reviewers at Pitt: Trust me, Dawn will be pissed about the background check. As for the Summers thing,
well more will be revealed later on.
Faith: Thanks for the review.
To my reviewers at TTH:
RachelK: The importance of the glow will come into play later on in the story. Thank you so much for your review.
Valkyrie: Thanks for the review.
Vld: Bart's actions were pretty much not of the good.
Chapter 4
Connor Reilly-uh... Connor Angel... He wasn't really sure who he was in actuality. Not anymore. He had killed Sahjhan, just like the prophecy had said he would.
Part of him wished desperately that the dream-like memories of being Connor Angel were just that, just a dream. But it wasn't.
He had very few happy memories of his previous life. Most of those memories were of his sister. In actuality she wasn't really his sister.
She had stayed with them for one summer. The summer after her older sister died, if Connor remembered correctly. Dawn Summers was technically speaking part of his clan, part of the Line of Aurilious. She had been adopted into the clan by Spike at Drusilla's request. Spike considered her to be his daughter.
He cleared his throat, catching the attention of the other person in the room. "Uh... Spike, can you tell me where Dawn is? I need to speak to her."
Bart looked through the folder Tim had given him. Eighteen different foster homes? Apparently several of them had been abusive, and then when she had been placed in better homes, the foster parents had been bothered by her defense techniques, mainly refusing to speak and unsurprisingly learning how to defend herself in various martial arts classes. That had caused the foster parents to ask for Dawn to be placed elsewhere.
Her medical files were... horrifying to say the least. All the injuries she had been given over the years had resulted quite a bit of scars over various parts of her body. That at least explained why she let very little of her skin show, Dawn obviously didn't want people to stare at her scars.
One look at the police report led Bart to the conclusion that the judge was an idiot. A boy in a restaurant two years earlier had been rough housing with a friend. When said friend had moved in an unexpected way, the boy's fist had come toward Dawn's face. Dawn had apparently acted on instinct, attacking the boy, using the knife she had been eating with. By the time Dawn had come back to her senses, the boy had a large slash down his chest, three fractured ribs, a broken arm.
Considering Dawn's history, her reaction was not surprising. She had merely been protecting herself from the perceived threat. He could have understood being sent to counseling, but sending her to a Juvenile Detention facility for two years was far too much.
The only criminal thing Dawn had ever really done was shoplifting back when she was in Jr. High. She had returned or repaid all of the stores she had stolen from. The shoplifting had stopped before she had begun eighth grade.
"What do you mean Dawn's dead!" demanded Connor.
"She got taken down by a Turok Han when Xander's back was turned," explained Spike. "By the time they realized Dawn was dead, they were already out of Sunnyhell."
"You didn't find her body then," said Connor. "She could have fallen through a portal. It was a Hellmouth after all."
"The niblet wasn't the Key anymore," Spike said. "If she had been, she could have fallen through a portal. But Dawn lost those powers two and a half years ago."
Dawn looked around near the entrance of the school for Bart. They always met just outside the school. Bart generally walked her to his house, and after tutoring walked her back to her apartment building.
Feeling a headache coming on, Dawn sighed in annoyance.
That sigh turned to a gasp of pain as Dawn realized the headache was a precursor of a vision. Losing herself in the images and pain, Dawn didn't feel herself fall.
"I need to know what happened during the battle Wells."
"I-I"
"Somebody collected Dawn's inheritance from Spike," said Connor. "I need to know what happened. Dawn might still be alive."
Author's note: Do you guys think it should be Connor/Greta or Connor/Cissie?
