( Armed or nothing. Arm themselves, at least. It's a quick walk back to where they're staying. He does change into a zip-up tactical hooded top, black to blend in. )
[Cooper favors enough layers to keep provide a little extra padding, and an old, worn leather jacket. He tucks away whatever concealed weapons he can manage before moving to join his partner.]
The witches are pretty much concentrated in a small neighborhood on the west side of town. It's not far from here.
( But, good, he gets military lingo. Got your six is not innuendo, Cooper. He follows close by, hand near his gun if needed. Instead, they make it to what counts as a perch. Balcony of a public building, far enough away to see.
For good measure, he works a grappling setup just in case. They can repel down, get in the melee if need be. )
So whatever's going on, it's down there. What do you see?
[Coop leans back as he watches the witches milling around beneath them. He can see cars lingering off in the distance, and he's willing to bet that Monroe's people are in it.]
Some witch communities kick off celebrate with a meeting of their elders. But ... they're not normally the kinds of witches we worry about.
( Here, Mickey thought everyone talked to someone else who talked to her. Or, it went higher up a chain. But, that's military. He's not asking to speak to the US General. )
[But he also sees the noticeable absences. How Tamara Monroe may have been made Gerard Argent's heir in name, but lacks the rest of his living family's support. (But Allison Argent is a werewolf sympathizer.)
How the Winchesters haven't stuck their nose into things yet. (But they're dangerous, they bring the end of the world with them wherever they go, even if from personal experience he knows that isn't one hundred percent true.)
How people like Scott McCall are in Monroe's crosshairs, when he has learned since he was a kid that True Alphas generally should be left alone. (But he's still a monster. Monsters come in bloody and leave bloody. That's just the way it is.)
He shakes his head, before turning his attention back to the meeting place again.]
( The two newcomers join the witches already congregating.
Mickey has learned on the go, mostly through his training officer and now, Cooper. He gets sympathizers and why people would be, but not when it comes to dead kids and families. If witches really are as dangerous as they're made out to be? And they're killing?
But, this doesn't look like that. He scratches his chin, perching on the edge. )
[Cooper spots his brother in the crowd and adjusts his gaze. He's talking with a pair of witches Coop's seen around Monroe's people and they give a wave before they turn and head back into the building that they're watching. Weller heads in after them, but before Lucas enters, he turns to search the skyline.
He makes eye contact with his brother, gives a small salute, before turning and disappearing inside.]

Up to you. We going to just look, or are we joining in? He's your brother.
no subject
You should never go into anything unprepared, newbie. Nothing is ever just to look.
[Because you never know what you might run into in between.]
no subject
Then let's grab gear back at the room.

Where we going?

The witches are pretty much concentrated in a small neighborhood on the west side of town. It's not far from here.
no subject
( He winces. )
You uh, heh, know what I mean.
no subject
Don't worry about it, man. You'd be surprised how many ex-military wind up in hunting.
[Even the Winchesters have military roots. It seems like it might be a little too easy, to transition from one arena to another.
But off they go to find a comfortable place to watch in witch town.]

no subject
( Not quite, Mickey! )
Because they're all peace and love.
( he comes over to the ledge, crossing his arms. )
no subject
[Though maybe some of them were, back in the seventies, but not this generation.]
They're just mostly doing nature magic. Not the kind that's going to make your brain leak out your ears.
no subject
( Cooper has grossed him out on occasion. )
Look.
( The loitering witches are soon joined by two others. Those two are older, it looks like. Parent-aged. )
You think they're just doing recon down there?
no subject
[He hopes it's just recon. In fact, he hopes if it was going to be something bigger than that, they would all be in on it.]
Monroe's been cagey lately.
no subject

no subject
[It's not an all the time thing, but if he wanted to call her directly, he could.]
My family is a legacy. I think she gives us more attention because she's scared that if she doesn't, she'll lose our support.
no subject
Yeah, but you support her cause. What's to lose. We're saving people, Cooper.

It's just politics.

no subject
( The asks, looking to Cooper. )
no subject
[Not really? But he's thinking he's starting to see the edges of the plan.]
I think they might be infiltrating.
no subject
( Like that? )
You'd know better than me. Has your brother ever gone undercover?
no subject
[Sometimes it's the only way to get information.]
Not normally with the monsters though. Just usually with the people being affected, we'll play FBI or something.
no subject
What's he playing here. Witch?
no subject
[He should, and that's the thing that bugs him. They should have gone over everything together. And more importantly, he should be in there with him.]
But I don't like it.
no subject
( He doesn't know how they would. Get closer, find them inside that building... )
Do we have witches on our side?
