Answer to the Trauma Girl Challenge by littleoldme
BtVS/Veronica Mars.
After the events of the Veronica Mars Season Two finale, Veronica attempts to deal with the aftermath of discovering that she was raped. Her personal journey ends up with Veronica in Sunnydale (or wherever the Scooby Gang is anchored in your timeline), and the Scoobies help Veronica to deal with her past.

Requirements:
Veronica interacting with some combination of Buffy, Willow, Dawn, Xander, Spike, Anya, Giles, etc.
Another Veronica Mars canon character following Veronica to Sunnydale (bonus if it's Logan or Wallace).
Veronica and Buffy (or Dawn) exchanging life stories and comparing emotional battle scars.

Bonus:
Set the fic immediately after Spike's attempted rape of Buffy, and examine the parallels between Buffy's life and Veronica's.
Have Anya offer to bring Cassidy back to life, just so she can go all vengeance demon on him.
At some point, bring Mac into the fic.

Chapter 1

Her dad was okay, he'd bailed on her to work on a case for Kendall Casablancas, but he was otherwise okay.

Because of the "top secret" case her dad wouldn't be around much for the summer and the cases had been getting smaller and smaller. Didn't anyone cheat over the summer, it was down right rude.

That meant she had time on her hands, time to think back on...to remember...the truth.

Rape. She thought she had time to get used to the thought. She had been raped. Then she had learned that wasn't the truth and everything had been okay. She wasn't tainted. Now she had to deal with it all over again.

It was even worse because she had genuinely liked Cassidy, had considered him to be one of her few friends at Neptune High. Had never thought that...he could do that, to anyone.

And oh god, Mac. Someone she trusted and cared about; the Q to her Bond. Veronica had been raped, Mac had been destroyed. Beaver had stolen everything from her.

"Are you okay?" a voice questioned softly from behind her, a strong arm slipped around her waist to hold her body against his.

Veronica smiled and turned around in his embrace to look up into his warm brown eyes.

"Why Logan you actually sound like you care." she mocked, the shadows leaving from her eyes and he smirked.

"See there's this thing, that when your depressed your not very likely to put out and I'm a man that looks out for my own needs."

"Really, your a man." her brow furrowed in confusion "I thought you were some prehistoric specimen." she sighed in disappointment "Oh well."

"If you wanted me to show you my manliness…" he suggested hotly his mouth moving down to her neck pulling her closer and making his meaning clear.

Veronica tensed up in his arms, panic gripping her, and Logan loosened his grip looking down at her concerned.

"I'm sorry." Veronica muttered ducking her head in his chest to hide the quick rush of tears to her eyes, he kissed her forehead telling her "For what, some bastard violating you?"

Veronica knew the anger in his eyes wasn't directed at her. Cassidy had been one of Logan's best friends, and in the end it turned out he hadn't known Dick's little brother at all. Hadn't known the chaos hidden under a quiet demeanor.

After a couple of moments Logan spoke softly "Veronica?" his voice cautious and contemplative.

"Hmmm?" she looked up at him sensing the change of tone in his voice. Though rare, Logan could manage to be serious upon occasions and this sounded like one of them.

"What would you say about getting away for the summer?" the question was carefully worded.

Veronica bit her bottom lip asking him suspiciously "Where exactly would we be for the next 3 months, cause I am not leaving California."

Logan grinned like she had handed him a gift "You wouldn't have to." he told her smugly.

He leaned back to look at her fully "So Trina's twin sister is in this little town Sunnydale and she wants me to check her out for her."

A week after school had ended Trina had been going through some papers and had discovered that she had been born a twin, and that her biological mother had decided to keep her identical sister.

Logan looked at Veronica in mock surprise "Don't you have a couple of cousins in Sunnydale, Dawn and Bunny was it?"

"Buffy" Veronica corrected returning his grin. Of course he knew about her cousins, having told Lily that the older one was kina hot and getting slapped upside the head for it. Veronica knew her dad was going to hate this, his only heading to Sunnydale all alone with Logan Echolls.

"So when do we go?" she asked and he grinned evidently pleased with himself.
