FIC: Those Who Wander 1/2 (Dark Angel/Supernatural)

[dollarformyname.livejournal.com]

Title: Those Who Wander
Author: dollarformyname
Fandom(s): Dark Angel/Supernatural
Characters: Ben (DA), the Benders (SPN)
Rating: PG-13
Warnings: People-hunting. Whumped little Ben. Wee!Ben + Benders should tell you most of what you need to know, I think. Not really a happy ending, but if you've seen Ben's fate in Dark Angel that shouldn't be too shocking. NOT a deathfic, though, for what it's worth.
Timeline/Spoilers: Pre-series for DA, anytime before The Benders for SPN. Handwaving the timelines; pretend they match up.
Disclaimer: Not mine, not for profit.
Words: ~3,384 (for this part)
Summary: They come barreling through the dead, black trees firing gunshots into the air and whooping like wild apes, gleeful and brazen in a way that says they aren't prey, but obnoxiously overconfident. Amateurs, Ben thinks.

A/N: Written for the 12 Days challenge, and fills wish #2M: What happened pre-show with/to any of the other escapees? Um. Especially Ben. I know it's late so it doesn't count toward the challenge anymore. Still, that's what spawned it. Second part is all plotted out and almost done, but I wanted to go ahead and post this to remove that endless temptation to edit it to death, so I can move on. Unbeta'd and written kind of quickly. Feel free to point out mistakes.

He's in the woods somewhere in the middle of what he thinks might be Minnesota, looking for a suitable place to go under, deep cover, like Zack said: that's an order.
