Harry looks up as Jo speaks again, his thoughts refocusing on their conversation. She mentions shying around things and he thinks about what she’s already said about Cas. “Wait. You said he’s Anna’s brother?”
“Er..” Jo laughs awkwardly, giving Harry a tight smile as she goes back to cleaning at the bar top. “Yeah, I did say that. When I thought you...
thefacermovement:
“Yeah, it was a while ago, which is why it took me a bit to remember. But it’s not like I’d completely forgotten the guy who showed up in every corner and shattered Ed’s Shatner.” Harry’s gotten over his incredulity and is calming into a sort of excited thoughtfulness. He drums his fingers on the counter, not really paying attention to Jo’s last words. “Come to think of it, he...
thefacermovement:
Now the name clicks. How could it not? “Castiel like the guy in a light brown overcoat who spouts nonsense about the apocalypse?” Harry figures it’s the same guy. First off, everyone seems to know everyone in this business. And second, Castiel isn’t really a common name. He moves from his table to the counter and leans over it where Jo’s cleaning, watching her carefully....

thefacermovement:
His eyebrows drew together a bit, not quite recognizing the name. He’s almost sure he’s heard Anna or Jo mention Cas before, but he can’t place it. “Cas who?” Harry waved off her talk of getting his own room. “I’m fine, really. I’d be more worried about food, but Anna seems to have that covered.”
“Castiel. He’s, er… He’s a friend. Actually...
thefacermovement:
Harry laughed outright at her words. ”Exactly! Who needs breakfast, honestly?” He noticed a lack of answer to his question, but he decided he probably wouldn’t want to know anyway, especially if Jo didn’t want to talk about them. Ignorance is bliss, after all. He’d run into Lisa a couple times since her arrival, long enough to introduce themselves and to scurry past each other...
thefacermovement:
“Thanks.” Harry chuckled a bit at what he thought was a joke. “What kind of problem? I know about the room issue.. Alex is kind of an odd roommate, you should know. He wakes up early - I mean, who does that?” He smiled at her. Harry really didn’t mind the kid. He kept to himself a lot and his side of the room stayed cleaner than Harry’s.
Jo laughs loudly, relaxing when Harry...
thefacermovement:
Harry had taken up cleaning at least some of he bar every night. It got a little full upstairs sometimes, and he was starting to feel like the research he did wasn’t enough anymore for his room and board. He’d cleaned a number of tables as it came close to closing time and soon, the patrons were gone and the bar was already mostly cleaned up.
He looked up when he heard Jo’s...
Still not comfortable being upstairs but having felt sick when she tried to go sleep in the back room surrounded by her weapons and the cages and chains, Jo sighs and gives up on resting for the time being. Heading out to the front bar, she grabs a rag and starts helping out, noticing Harry was cleaning up a few of the tables as the last people trickle out of the bar.
Jo hadn’t spoken to...
alexcromwell:
“Got it.” Alex answered sternly. He reached behind him for the salt and an iron wrench and hopped actively outside the car. He wasn’t afraid of ghosts. They were simply lost and alone. Not monstrous the way demons could be. At least the ones he’d encountered so far.
Cautiously, Alex approached the raincoat girl and swallowed as she looked up at him. He glanced behind him to...
hackeditoutandfell:
“Call it an opportunity to get away from having to worry about anyone else.” Anna replies bitterly. Running away had always been her fall back ever since the first time she ripped her grace out and now she wants nothing more than to do the same thing again once she can walk easily. “So you can call it anything you want Jo.”
Raising an eyebrow, Jo patted Anna’s thigh...
hackeditoutandfell:
“Why didn’t you want me there? If you were so dead set on this you could have waited till I was better. It was stupid to go alone like that and you know it.” Anna turns away as Jo smiles. “Fine you did everything, it’s over with. I’m going to be laid up for a few weeks go find a hunt, have fun Jo.”
Jo shook her head, not bothering to explain any for once. Smile dropping as...
hackeditoutandfell:
“Didn’t what?” Anna breathes slowly her leg tense as Jo touches it, it’s distracting her and she’s stopped crying thankfully but she’s still angry and upset with Jo. “When did you gain the ability to see the future Jo? It’s an impressive trick for a human.” Anna’s not trying to keep how sharp her tone is as she opens her eyes long enough to give Jo a scathing look.
...
hackeditoutandfell:
“I’m not fighting with you about this Jo. I just..” Anna winces as Jo goes back to looking at her leg, she doesn’t stop her this time but she doesn’t look at her either. “I’m tired of this back and forth. What would have happened if you hadn’t been okay? We wouldn’t have known where you are? Did you have your gps or did you turn that off to make sure we didn’t bother you?”...
hackeditoutandfell:
‘Maybe I’m tired of yelling, maybe it doesn’t do any good because you won’t listen and you’re going to do what you want anyway Jo.” Anna glares at the smirk the other woman has on her face swatting Jo’s hand away from her leg, she resents the accusation that Jo just made. “I expected you to be an idiot about it and you were so my expectations on that were met. Did I want you...
alexcromwell:
Alex relaxed his head against the seat and rubbed his sore neck as Jo drove along the road. He was about to reply when he felt a sudden surge of pain stinging the back of his head, and then a rush of cold he could only associate with one thing. He looked outside, but there was nothing there except bushes and electric posts. And then, standing in the ditch, he saw a dim glow shaped...
hackeditoutandfell:
Sniffling, Anna doesn’t fight Jo as the blond woman takes her arm, the aloe feels good on the hot skin but listening to her makes Anna blush with embarrassment even more than she already was before her outburst. “Shut up. I don’t understand why it’s such a double standard with you. If you were hurt and I had went out and did the same thing you would be yelling at me for...
hackeditoutandfell:
Wiping her eyes again she turns towards the back as much as she can hearing Jo slam the door and come in there. Anna’s almost got herself under control till Jo yells at her, seemingly mad because she’s crying and she says the first thing that she thinks of in frustration. “Because I’m human and it sucks and you suck and I don’t feel good and just you’re being an ass too!”
...
hackeditoutandfell:
Anna wipes her face quickly when she hears Jo moving about the kitchen, last thing she needs is Jo to see her crying because then every claim of being fine is for nothing. She doesn’t move except for that and Jo thankfully is still mad enough to ignore her, she hopes Jo gets her food and goes to her room or to the library but then the thought that Jo might be getting ready...
hackeditoutandfell:
Anna hears Jo and she watches her walk off, closing her eyes she did see it coming and that’s why she’s mad but now she’s mad at Jo basically telling her she’s not allowed to worry about the other woman. She’s not sure if she should go after Jo or wait there and try and stop Jo from leaving if she comes back out with bags packed. Squeezing her eyes shut she bites her lip,...
hackeditoutandfell:
“Why the Hell shouldn’t I worry about you?!” Between the fact she doesn’t feel good, her arm now hurts instead of the dull ache that had been there and Jo’s attitude Anna is pissed. She jerks her arm away from Jo covering the mark with her other hand. “I’m just as fine as you are. Now leave me alone.”
Jo blinks for a moment, staring as the angry look on Anna’s face...
hackeditoutandfell:
Not expecting Jo to actually jab her there Anna jerks yelping and pulling that arm in closer giving her a glare that at one time if she still had her grace might have actually killed someone. “I’m still alive aren’t I? In even more pain than before thanks to you, stressed out and worried but alive.”
“You said you were fine, I was just proving a point.” Jo grins...
hackeditoutandfell:
Anna sighs giving this look of pure annoyance as she rolls her eyes. “I’m fine too, just as fine as you are and I don’t want to yell. If I wanted to yell I would have been yelling already.” She shifts some turning partially on her side, back to Jo as she crosses her arms over her chest.
Jo snorts, leaning across the small space to jab a finger into the centre of the...
hackeditoutandfell:
Anna jumps feeling the prodding on her arm and she blinks moving her arm to look at who was waking her up. Seeing Jo cleaner and the start of some bruises she just sighs some dropping her arm over her stomach. “Go to bed Jo, you look wiped.” Anna says flatly not bothering to say anything about how Jo is dressed.
“I’m fine.” Sighing, Jo zeroed in on...
hackeditoutandfell:
Breathing out slowly as Jo leaves Anna doesn’t move, she can hear the distant sound of the water running and she Jo banging around a bit. She’s upset but she has a right to be, no one asked Jo to go out and do this and Jo always thinks she’s going to be fine and just is always so stupid about it. She drifts off some as she thinks about Jo.
Taking her time, Jo was glad for...
hackeditoutandfell:
“I said fine.” She doesn’t look at Jo, now that she know Jo’s fine she’s angry and upset and she just doesn’t know. “I doubt you’re going to clean this place if you get dirt all over it.” Anna says trying to get Jo to leave her alone, she wasn’t going to fight with Jo over this so why was the other woman still pressing it.
“I’ll clean after my shower,...
hackeditoutandfell:
“Fine, whatever Jo.” Anna lays back down on the couch, if she could she would have her back to the other woman but the best she can do is throw her arm over her eyes to block out the light. “You’re filthy and you have blood on you.” It’s always the same thing over and over again with them Anna thinks to herself, no point in fighting because it doesn’t change anything.
Jo...
hackeditoutandfell:
“And?” The fact Jo just says that leaves Anna staring at her for a long moment, she can see the blood on Jo’s arm but she can’t see any injury. “And what would have happened if something happened to you! I couldn’t have helped you and I don’t think Harry or Alex would have been able too!” She’s trying to not shout but her voice is getting shriller. “Why are you so stupid...
hackeditoutandfell:
“You weren’t here so I got up, been up actually most of the day.” Anna looks Jo over, she’s dirty and that doesn’t make Anna feel any better. “You went after the monster didn’t you?” She doesn’t feel like doing the normal dance around the subject they would normally do.
“And?” There was no point trying to deny it, so Jo just went with it. She didn’t...
hackeditoutandfell:
Anna hadn’t moved from the couch, even after her and Alex talked, she slept off and on and she was asleep when Jo came in. Pushing herself up, one leg on the floor the other stretched out on the couch, she didn’t try and get up but she watched as Jo tried to make it past the room. “You alright?”
To say she had become more and more worried as the time passed was an...
Jo got in not as late as she’d expected, hoping that everyone would be busy or asleep or at least not notice her coming in as she was. The amount of dust and dirt in her hair and on her jeans from the area was matched by the small amount of blood splatter across her shirt and jeans, having stopped by the outside tap to wash her hands and knives quickly.
Spotting a light on in the kitchen as...
alexcromwell:
Alex stopped, another thoughtful look on his face. “Huh.” He muttered. Why would his Reading of her direct him to dogs if they weren’t significant to her? He fired another shot, but his mind remained occupied with other thoughts. Surprisingly, the bullet hit the centre of the target.
The day stretched to evening and Jo switched him back to knives. Even though he was becoming okay...
alexcromwell:
Alex listened intently to her instructions, nodding at her every few words. He handled the next gun more carefully than the first shotgun, but his grip was shaky, uncertain. He shut his brown eye, focusing on the target, and missed more times than he did with the knife.
The loud gunshots made him uncomfortable and he jumped whenever he heard it. It unbalanced his aim, making the...
alexcromwell:
Alex shrugged at her question. “I don’t know,” he replied. “Sometimes I can control it, sometimes I can’t.” He thought of when they had first met a few days ago as an example and remembered the snarling of wild dogs and sudden burst of fire. He kept quiet about it, however, supposing it wasn’t a very pleasant memory. Asking about it would probably be a bad idea.
He cleared his...

[Gray grinds his teeth together in frustration. He’s half tempted to call Crowley to get him out of this predicament but as much as he hates the idea of being stuck to burn her or relenting to Jo’s demands, he hates the idea of having to beg Crowley more. He considers things for a minute. Finally he comes to the conclusion it doesn’t hurt his pride any to say...
whatyouareinthedarkofyourheart:
[Gray glares at her before wiping his face on his shoulder, trying to get rid of the annoying trickle of blood] Fine, walk off. Leave me here to rot, see if I actually give a damn. But go and give my regards to the runt if you do, as you’re slowly burning him to death as well. [That’s a weak card to play and he knows it but he’s got nothing really else left in...
whatyouareinthedarkofyourheart:
[He hisses in pain again when she kicks him, growling low in his throat when she digs the razor into him. He still can’t shake the amusement from Jo being the one dishing it out this time, but he’s really starting to feel the effects of the iron] But I like angelfish, she’s fun to play with. She didn’t seem to take it so personally when we crossed paths. [He...
whatyouareinthedarkofyourheart:
Oh come on, what’s the point of saying it if it doesn’t get me out of here? [He raises an eyebrow at her path with the razor. He shifts away from it, squinting at her] You sure you’re not developing a taste for this, cause from where I’m sitting it looks like you are.
I am not. [Jo grits her teeth, staring down at him for a moment before kicking a foot into...
