[There’s absolutely nothing he can do here. Gray doesn’t like that, he doesn’t like having nothing to do. He wants to go kill something, maybe a doctor just because they’re just so worthless. That’s it, he’s itching to torture again, it’s been too long since he has and right now he’s got a lot of frustration to work off] When I come back here I don’t expect to...

It’s not long before the doctor and the nurse come back, pushing Jo and Gray towards the door so that they have room to work around the bed. They perform several tests and at one point Anna does respond enough to open her eyes for a few moments. She doesn’t seem to be very aware and the doctors questions and commands go without a response....

A nurse comes in, giving both of the people a look, the tension clear in the room even though she hadn’t heard the conversation. Checking the chart at the end of the bed, she checks the monitors before looking at Anna and walking to the side of the bed. Pulling the covers back she takes her knuckles and rubs the middle of woman’s chest which...

The sound of voices slowly start to become clearer and her eyes slowly move about the room. Everything is blurry but then she feels Jo’s hand tighten around hers and she tries to squeeze back but her fingers just twitch weakly. She tries to say Jo’s name but it just comes out as hoarse whisper. These small actions are enough to drain her and...

Over the last few days the doctors had noted small changes in her brain activity, they were already perplexed because Anna’s was different to any they had seen and only one other case would be found on record if people looked close enough and that would be Castiel when he banished the angels and nearly killed himself. Slowly unconsciousness...
whatyouareinthedarkofyourheart:
[Gray pulls a face at her] Oh that’s typical Jo, leave it to someone else to try the best option. I wonder, what would you do if I did find an angel to heal her? [Gray grinds his teeth together seeing her slip her hand over Anna’s. That’s his angel she’s touching. The monster can’t help but feel a little jealousy]
“Laugh hysterically because they tend...
whatyouareinthedarkofyourheart:
[Gray watches her stiffen and refuse to sit when he indicates the chair and mentally rolls his eyes. Jo’s so determined now not to do anything he wants, even if it’s perfectly innocent. Well fine, she can be as antagonistic as she wants, they’re not supposed to like each other anyway] You still didn’t even bother to check with them did you? [He’s half tempted to...
whatyouareinthedarkofyourheart:
[He glares at her, catching the shine off the blade and shaking his head] I’m saying she’ll still be mine when she wakes up. But I have a question for you Jo, why the fuck haven’t you got one of her siblings down here to fix this? [He pulls another chair over and goes to sit down, motioning for Jo to do the same. Gray’s really not here to pick a fight, he could...
whatyouareinthedarkofyourheart:
[Gray relaxes when a janitor pops into the room, smiling at the man and thanking him for cleaning up the mess. His hand is on Jo’s shoulder, pressing down in silent warning that his promise won’t go unfulfilled if she dares try anything. Once the guy leaves, his smile vanishes] To bad you won’t ever get that chance again, you blew the shot you had at killing me...
whatyouareinthedarkofyourheart:
Think what you want, I didn’t fucking do this. [He’s beside her in a flash, pushing her hand away from the button and glaring at her] If you call the nurses in here I will turn this place into a bloodbath and then stick you with the aftermath. You can’t trap me here and if you piss me off I will make you regret it, deal with Anna or no deal. [Gray growls. He’s...
whatyouareinthedarkofyourheart:
How the hell do you reckon that? [Gray bristles at the accusation this is his fault. Okay so he’s put Anna in the hospital before but this time he didn’t have anything to do with it. He looks over at her then back at Jo] I’m not going to leave and there’s not shit you can do about it. [He’ll be damned if Jo’s going to be the reason he leaves]
“You know...
whatyouareinthedarkofyourheart:
[Gray’s not paying any attention to anything but Anna, watching her breathe, when someone bumps into him from behind. As soon as he hears the person say something he realizes it’s Jo and is already stepping out of her reach as she’s going for one of her thousand knives she’s got hidden everywhere] Don’t fucking tell me to get out of here, I’ve got just as much...
whatyouareinthedarkofyourheart:
[Gray really has been wanting to pop in and check what’s going on with Anna but with his meatsuit still healing he really hasn’t been able to. He could have gone in shadow form but he doesn’t like being vulnerable like that around any humans. Much less those trained as hunters and Jo’s sure to be around. Finally he’s well enough to go and he quickly searches Anna...

“Simmer down Jo, I never said you weren’t. Just I’ve been in your position more than once with your Daddy and it’s never easy. Sometimes you just want to stick your head in the sand and not talk to the doctors because once you do there’s no turning back from reality.” Picking up her coffee she finishes if off before standing and cleaning off the table of Jo’s plate she...
breakoutthewhiskey:
“Look I know this is hard Jo but you need to start thinking about things when she wakes up. It’s not going to be like a tv show where they just open their eyes and are fine.” Ellen hates doing this to her daughter but she knows from first hand experience that it’s better to be prepared than to go in blind and hoping for the best. “What’s best for her is for you to be there...
breakoutthewhiskey:
Ellen doesn’t comment about the last time, their conversation pausing as a knock on the door interrupts them and a nurse comes in to record the sleeping woman’s numbers and to turn her so that she’s laying on her side. Ellen wonders if Jo’s been trying to sleep in here with them coming ever two hours so pressure sores wouldn’t develop. Once the nurse leaves they go back to...
breakoutthewhiskey:
“Well I’m sure the left side of her head cracking Singer’s window when she went off the road, before she rolled it makes for a good excuse to fall into a coma.” Ellen had seen the state of the truck when they brought it in to the bar and left it there. “She’s breathing on her own though and doctor that I talked too said that luckily that fool angel only has some severe...
breakoutthewhiskey:
“Mmmhmmmm. You know this isn’t my first rodeo with angels. I remember Castiel very well.” Ellen frowns a bit at Jo telling to try and not make sense of it, she thinks her daughter forgets she’s a hunter too and she knows how to find out information. Harry and her are going to have a nice little chat soon she thinks. “Fine. I’ll back off but I know you aren’t telling me...
breakoutthewhiskey:
“Same as you?” Ellen’s expression is one of pure disapproval. “So you slept with him, while with Anna?” She truly wonders what is going on with her daughter, Jo knows better than this and if she thought smacking upside the head would help she would. “So you think Anna was out in this play having another roll in the hay with him? And if he’s threatening you then why is she...
breakoutthewhiskey:
“Alright, so that’s your watered down version of what happened, now do you want to tell me the actual truth because if there is one person you can’t pull one over, it’s me Joanna.” Ellen leans back after putting her coffee back on the table and folds her arms lightly. “I might have been dead but I wasn’t born yesterday and I certainly haven’t lost the ability to spot when...
breakoutthewhiskey:
Watching Jo she lets her finish before glancing between Jo and Anna. “So you have any idea of who she was visiting? It doesn’t sound like a good thing if she left all that behind.” Picking up her own cup of coffee Ellen takes a long pull from it waiting to hear what Jo was going to tell her.
“Just a friend, a guy I really don’t like and don’t really...
breakoutthewhiskey:
“It’s understandable why you weren’t there Jo.” Ellen pulls the other chair around the bed and sits down. “You don’t have to be up here alone you know. I’m here and Harry I’m sure would come and take a shift if you need rest.” She knows her daughter and it’s not just the injury that seems to be upsetting Jo so she waits letting the younger woman eat and get some of the...
breakoutthewhiskey:
“Eat.” Ellen gives Jo a look as she walks around and looks at Anna, they said she was awake when she first came in she was incoherent in her speech, as they were doing a scan she lost consciousness and hadn’t regained it yet. Smoothing out the girls hair Ellen shakes her head, a small place shaved where they had performed emergency surgery to relieve the pressure from the...
breakoutthewhiskey:
Jo wasn’t eating enough or getting enough sleep, she seems to be wearing herself down as each day passes and Ellen’s afraid she’s going to get sick. Walking towards the room Ellen knocks lightly before entering, seeing Jo sitting there next to the bed. Determined to get Jo to eat everything on that plate she sits it down on the table and wheels it in front of Jo. “Eat.”
She...

winchester-67 asked: To Jo / From Dean -- Heading back in your direction. Got Cas with me for the time being. He says Harry might have a hunt for us? Let him know we're looking.
Christmas seemed to have come and gone for her. She’d heard her mother was planning one of their old holiday traditions - a large feast - but by the time Jo had remembered it was even happening, the party had been and gone. Her presents for the others had been left under the tree, and she guessed the only ones still under the almost garishly colourful one they had upstairs were her own and...
whatyouareinthedarkofyourheart:
[The instant change in her after the phone call surprises Gray] What happened? [He asks quietly, putting up a hand as she scrambles for her cash and pulling out his own wallet to pay] I’ve got this, but what happened Jo? Is it something I can help with? [She’s looks panicked, Gray can’t imagine why. He resists the urge to reach out and touch her while she’s this...
whatyouareinthedarkofyourheart:
What is it exactly? [Gray leans forward, elbows on the table, watching Jo take her frustration out on the table top with her spoon. He rubs his chin thoughtfully, thinking about how she’s dancing around the issue of what Anna is, or at least was, which might explain her attitude towards things] And you’re absolutely sure she’s… with this monster? Of her own free...
whatyouareinthedarkofyourheart:
[Gray tilts his head to the side, sitting the nearly empty mug down] I don’t understand Jo. If she knows it’s killing people, it is killing people right? [He straightens back up a little, hands sticking in his pockets as if he’s uncertain what to do with them. He looks up as couple of people walk past the window before focusing on Jo again with a serious...
whatyouareinthedarkofyourheart:
[He’s taking a drink of coffee when she says the word monster and sputters on the swallow of liquid in pretend surprise, wiping his mouth with his sleeve] Deadly and psychopathic you say? Well if it’s killing people there shouldn’t be an issue. [Gray shakes his head, this isn’t an issue even a green hunter should struggle with. He shouldn’t be hesitant about...
whatyouareinthedarkofyourheart:
[Gray shrugs] Sometimes it’s better to talk with someone who is distant from the issue. [She hasn’t brought up the fact Anna’s dipping out on her with a monster yet. He wonders why] If you’re not comfortable, we can talk about other things though. [Don’t change the subject Jo, he thinks, tell me what you know and what you’re planning]
“I.. I just needed...
whatyouareinthedarkofyourheart:
[Gray drinks from the coffee mug, watching Jo glance about and then barely withholding a laugh at the cheating comment. He frowns] Cheating on you? But last time we spoke I got the impression things were going well. [He doesn’t know whether Jo will go into detail or not, but she looks as if she’s about to explode if she doesn’t tell somebody]
Jo nods her head,...
whatyouareinthedarkofyourheart:
[Gray’s managed to get back to the place where he’s keeping his secondary meatsuit. He changes into that one, leaving the original alone for a while. It’s then he hears a buzzing. Of course it’s the phone he has. Sighing, because he knows who it is, he looks at it and decides it couldn’t hurt to show up. After all it’s not like she knows who he is underneath...
Jo wasn’t sure how she felt bout her find, and really didn’t want to go back to the apartment and face whatever Anna was going to try and say about it - if she was going to say anything at all. What she wanted was someone to just bounce ideas off of, somewhere she wouldn’t be likely to bump into the redhead angel, and someone who wouldn’t potentially cause issues talking to...
whatyouareinthedarkofyourheart:
[Anna’s not long gone and Gray’s trying to get back relaxed when there’s a ringing. The monster rolls his head to look at her pack she left. He gets up and goes over to it, knowing really what’s going on but just wanting conformation before having to move. He finds the phone and looks at the number. Yep. Jo’s calling. It rings and it rings and then it...

“So it’s not just me then, it’s you.” Anna teases lightly, her eyes slowly closing as the feel of Jo’s finger in her hair lull her. “I was thinking that it was just us fighting all the time but now I know it’s not. That’s a relief. I’m sure everyone else is glad we are not fighting now.” She’s rambling sleepily.
“I’m sure having head strong and combative people...
hackeditoutandfell:
“I guess just bigger family, bigger fights.” Anna scoots down till she has her head laying on Jo’s lap. “I’m sure you and your mom fought. You both seem pretty head strong.” She’s relaxed like this and for once she doesn’t feel like she has to be on guard around Jo, she likes this feeling.
Jo snorts loudly, dropping her hand to run through the others hair absently as she...
hackeditoutandfell:
Anna chuckles at Jo’s description and she yawns some shifting to get more comfortable. “I stayed away from that part of the world at the time, I explored more of the places where they didn’t know who God was and life was simple and not complicated by religion.” She can’t help think now about the comparison of history to the war that went on in heaven and she sighs some.
...
hackeditoutandfell:
“No the next is fire, which didn’t happen.” Anna smiles some at Jo as she relaxes back. “Because a bunch of silly humans stood up to the devils and stood up to the angels. And the world never really knew what happened.” Turning off the tv she sighs. “I wonder what people would do if they truly knew.”
“Spontaneous marriage, start breeding like rabbits and end up...
hackeditoutandfell:
“Most events happened in some form or another. And it wasn’t just Uriel, it was all of us. Uriel just enjoyed it more.” Anna tilts her head at Jo. “The flood wasn’t as bad as most people think though it did work in effectively wiping out 80% of the worlds population then. And the parting of the seas was impressive even to us.” Watching the show makes her feel a bit...
hackeditoutandfell:
“I wasn’t planning on going down at all but if you want to private time with rednecks and guns, I’m happy to leave you to it.” She’s teasing about the hunting and fishing shows she walked in on. Taking a sip of her juice she leans forward putting it on the table, before picking up the remote and she begins to flip through the channels before stopping on the history channel...
hackeditoutandfell:
Anna eyes the fishing show with a small shake of her head. “In other words you got on people’s nerves and they tossed you out.” She’s grinning at Jo, curling up beside her and propping on the other woman. “You should take some time off or people might think you are high strung all the time and heaven forbid they know the truth.”
“Yeah, pretty much.” Stretching...
hackeditoutandfell:
Anna slipped in after taking care of Gray, she stopped in the laundry room and stripped off her clothes throwing them in the wash and grabbing some of the clean ones out of the dryer putting them on before heading into the kitchen and main area. She knew someone was up because the tv was on and she tilted her head seeing Jo. “I thought you were down stairs working?” Anna...
