Title: "Just Another Day at the Park"
Author: lori_leaf
Beta: girlfan1979
Rating: PG (mild swearing)
Summary: Manticore failed to instruct Alec in playground etiquette
Author's Notes: This is part of my Fox 'Verse. It works as a stand-alone story. The only thing you need to know is this is a crossover between Dark Angel and Supernatural. I've messed with both

Oh, poor Alec. Some things just don't transfer from Manticore to the real world. The boys should think about that before they're so mean to him!!

That last line kinda got me - Alec could very easily be another Ben!

[lori_leaf]

I don't think the boys were trying to be mean but it's easy to forget that Alec hasn't been taught not to hit girls.

The last line was definitely a nod to Ben. *g*

Thanks for the feedback, hon!

Poor little guy!

I like that little girl! She's cool.

[lori_leaf]

Shea! I miss you!

I like the little girl too. *g* She's scrappy. Thanks for commenting!

I liked this. I liked that Alec is just doing what he was trained to do. He is looking at everything skewed, through Manticore's eyes. That is how is should be.

I like just as much that Sam and Dean don't care. Alec is their brother, they are not going to let him get away with hitting a girl. That is that.

It is a learning process, and Alec is smart and will learn.

I think it is funny that Alec disapproves of cussing.

I like that little girl too. She is a charmer.

Edited 'cause I can't spell and can't leave misspelled words alone.

I hate typos too and obsessively want to fix them. *g*

I agree that Alec will learn. He's quick to adapt. Alec likes cussing in moderation, especially if it's unique cursing like "colder then a witch's tit" or "fucking shit eater!" You get points for creativity. But he was surprised to see a little kid using the same two or three words every few sentences. I'm sure he would have thought Kara was much cooler if she called him a "bitch's whelp" or something.

OMG!!!! YOU NAMED A CHARACTER AFTER ME! AND SHE'S A BADASS TOO!!!

Lol, I don't know if you really named her after me, and it's ok if you didn't :) But I agree with Shea, she is an awesome little girl! Really, this whole fic was awesome. I especially liked this line:

Alec doesn't know much about playground etiquette, but he assumes that the showing of underwear is frowned upon.

Apparently I shouldn't drink anything while I read your fics, because that line made me snort tea out of my nose :) GREAT job, sweetie!

Honestly, it wasn't intentional... but we can totally pretend I did it on purpose! *g* I liked the little kid too. I kinda wanted to bring her back for another story, but I just don't see John letting the boys go back to the park after that.

As for playground etiquette, I was totally the little girl flashing everyone as a kid. I have no idea WHY my parents thought it was a good idea to put me in dresses because I certainly didn't sit nicely and play tea party. I was the kid attempting to do cartwheels and dangling from monkey bars. *g* Sorry I made you snort tea though.

And you get to hear my random bit of news because you just happened to comment and it's not worth making a whole post about. I just killed a roach! Okay so this wouldn't be huge for most people, but I have this insane phobia of roaches. I'm like a crazy person when it comes to them. So the fact that I killed one is HUGE! Okay so maybe I screamed "die, die, die! Die fucker! DIE!" while spraying it with roach spray, as though yelling at it will convince it to go ahead

Nice story. You did a good job of showing us things through Alec's eye. I liked his observations about the park and all it's inhabitants. I thought his view on interfering during fights, how it's a sign of weakness was particularly interesting and incredibly fitting for how he was raised.

I like this series. It's neat to read about someone experiencing things for the first time. Alec got to experience his family, a real family that loves him, doesn't just use him disappointed in him for the first time and God knows that's an awful feeling. My sympathies go to the character, but it's cool to see him grow and learn from everything.

Alec definitely comes from a different world then most of the characters in this series. The sad thing is, even after disappointing his family, he still doesn't completely understand why they were mad. It just doesn't make sense to him. But now he knows the consequence for hitting girls, and he definitely won't be doing that again any time soon. Thanks for commenting!
