Prompt: 19 July: 6. Buffy/Angel crossover, Dawn/Connor: binding wounds, "of course it's fucked up, it's in our DNA"
There was a brief break in the fighting. Los Angeles had become a war zone, and reinforcements had been called on both sides. There were entities who wouldn’t miss a fight like this for anything, and some just wanted to settle old scores. Dawn sat to one side, leaning against what once had been a wall. A metal first aid box sat next to her, a vial of holy water next to the peroxide. In front of her was Connor’s back, and it was a mess.
“You know, you really should have Willow or one of her apprentices look at this. If it gets infected, you won’t be of use to anyone.”
“I can’t just sit around though. I feel so useless. All this fighting… it’s so fucked up. It’s worse than where I grew up.”
“Of course it’s fucked up. Especially for us. It’s in our DNA. You’re the human son of two of the worst vampires in history, and I was made of pure energy to prevent an evil deity from taking over the world. Violence is in our very bones.”
“Well, when you put it that way…” Connor grinned, kissing Dawn on the cheek as he stood, heading back toward the battlefield, “I promise I’ll go talk to Willow as soon as she’s available.”
