cholesterol: (the family business)

Elena.

( They've described their two dynamics perfectly in a one-two punch like it was planned.

He gets a beer for his efforts! Have a beer, Damian.

"You know my father, Chris Argent," Allison says coolly, making it clear that they are in hunter company.

No, she already had Elena.

[He takes the beer with a nod before sliding into a seat.]

That's why she told me to come here - because she was taking Elena here.

[Then he turns back to Allison with a smile.]

Yes, I do. Lovely man who paid me very well.

( They may have already buddied up, but even he can see his girlfriend's passion sending the distant family members on a side quest. Elena plus Katherine, version: hunter. )

Yeah, we're caught up.

( "I'd hope all your clients paid you well." Allison would assume that if he's hired, he's taken care of. )

Most did. Unless they thought they could get away without paying me. Usually by trying to kill me.

[He takes another sip of his beer.]

They didn't make that mistake twice.

( He'd say something about talk of wasting an ungrateful client, but his mother's in the kitchen and Bobby doesn't bristle. A glint in Bobby's eye suggests solidarity. )

Maybe cut story time short.

( Still twitchy about Bela, it doesn't help that he sees her and Damian as two sides of the same coin.

"I'm going to help your mom," Allison says, standing and cleaning over to grab two plates. She glances to Lydia as she walks by, but it's up to her friend if she wants to stay in the middle of the testosterone.

[Lydia pops up because no, she's not going to stay. "Me too." And with that she disappears into the kitchen with Allison. Damian lets them go and studies the two men left, raising an eyebrow curiously.]

You know I have to wonder. Do you give police officers or private investigators as much shit as you clearly want to give me for getting paid to do my job?

[Because everybody's gotta make a living.]

It's not the job I have a problem with.

( It's the flagrant admission that he killed clients who tried to screw him over. Yes, those clients were probably deserving of it in one way or another, but maybe not every one was. Who is Dean to be the moral high road, however.

Bobby, as he usually can, understands where Dean is coming from, and speaks up finally. Maybe not helping. But, Bobby has two modes. Helping and not helping.

"Dean doesn't like cops, either. Private investigators he could take or leave."
)

Bobby.

( "What? You can't blame a guy for getting back at someone who leaves him in the lurch. Doesn't mean he offed the bastard." )

Oh. No. Well, only if the way they decide not to pay me is trying to kill me first. Self-defense, you understand.

[He's not really one for killing.]

I blackball them. We've a very small industry, so it works rather effectively.

[And then they probably die because they stumble into trying to find these powerful artifacts on their own and well ... that's not Damian's problem.]
dfa: (feet up)

[personal profile] dfa 2022-10-10 09:27 am (UTC)(link)
Self defense.

( If Bobby understands anything, it's definitely the idea of self defense. )

So, the sorry sucker ends up high and dry.

Indeed he does, forced to navigate all of this on his own.

[It probably won't end well.]

But not to worry, Winchesters. As soon as I've collected my half of the doppelganger duo and get the lay of the land, I'm sure we'll be out of your hair.

( Dean comes to the same conclusion. )

Your half of the doppelganger duo? ( To Sam, ) Dude makes it sound like they're an Icelandic pop band.

( And Katherine is much more deadly than that implies. )

Considering they're Bonnie and Clyde-ing their way across the country as we speak, I was trying something out.

[It didn't work. And it's probably best if Katherine never finds out about it. He can take notes.

But eventually Mary will poke her head out and ask the boys to help out with some of the clean up, quieting things in the bunker for a little while. And a little while later, the door pushes open, and to matching faces appear at the top of the stairs.

Elena lets out a breath when she sees the extension of it. "Wow. This is not what I was expecting when they said bunker."]

( But how fun would it be if she found out. Step aside, Von Trapp's, it's the Doppelganger Duo. Sam, react.

It's fine. Dean will gladly finish clean-up.

Allison's changing in Sam's room, while taking a moment to herself and - yes, just poking around. For something that resembles a dorm room, it's very Sam and she finds she likes his room. His furniture. Almost as much flannel as Dean's - but that's something someone dating a Winchester can't avoid.

Katherine spent the ride trying to wring all of Elena's compassion out of her. Yes, Nadia's death is tragic, yes, the soap opera twist of Natalie and Nadia's connection was - also tragic - but they are alive. Katherine still lives with what happened to that girl and Nadia's fate does compound that. But, this is Katherine with steely resolve (20)

"What were you expecting?" Impatient behind her, Katherine steps around, goes to the railing. "Not this," she answers herself.

[She's not saying she was expecting a couple of cots and most of the space taken up by canned goods and Apocalypse prepper supplies, but she's ... not not saying that.

But that's not the point.

She slowly ventures down the stairs, glancing around as she takes all of it in.]


Dean? Anyone here?
shreds: (god feelings am I right)

[personal profile] shreds 2022-10-15 04:13 am (UTC)(link)
Maybe we're walking into the second horror movie of the week.

( Sometimes, Katherine just isn't helpful.

From the kitchen, Dean kicks the rack in to the dishwasher. "In here!" He's gotten Sam, Damian and him two more beers, his sitting on the counter as he closes the dishwasher front, pushing the button for the on cycle.
)

Or, he's in there. I'm right behind you.

( As she follows, she methodically scans the vast room, the war room table, the giant globe. It's all -- a bit much. )

[Elena follows the sound of his voice to the kitchen and smiles when she sees them.]

Hey, guys.

["Hey, Elena," Sam smiles, before taking his beer and getting up to give her and his brother some room. Damian peers around her and offers Katherine a smile when she appears on the other side of her.]

( "Damian." She sees beer has been given and clacks past both brothers and her mentor to stick her head in the fridge.

Leaving his beer there, Dean moves off of end of the booth and draws Elena in close.
)

Detour's something you're getting from me?
braveandstupid: (1)

[personal profile] braveandstupid 2022-10-17 01:26 am (UTC)(link)
Did you always find your cases in motels? Because if you did, I think it probably explains a lot.

[She wasn't looking for one of those detours but she probably shouldn't be surprised she found one. But she lets him pull her in, winding her arms around his neck.]

It was a long drive, but I'm glad we finally made it.

[Damian smirks at Katherine, sliding off his stool to give her a place to sit like a gentleman.]

More than a couple.

( And even if there weren't cases, he lives his life in and out of them.

He leans back.
)

You two caught a case?

( She wrapped it up quickly. )
braveandstupid: (it goes like this the fourth the fifth)

[personal profile] braveandstupid 2022-10-19 02:15 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, sort of. A girl was taking out her frustrations on a coffee machine and into her having this spirit feeding off her. We took it out with some help from a hunter named Natalie, but the girl got hurt in the process.

[She didn't make it. But Elena doesn't want to talk about that.]

Otherwise, the trip here was pretty smooth.

( She'll get used to hanging her hat on otherwise, but hopefully not feel as desensitized to it all as Dean feels like he's become. He did work hard to shirk off the anger God has written into him, but there are times he feels like he doesn't process, doesn't feel as deeply as everyone else does, despite Castiel's protestations. His whole Miranda Hobbs level 'you love' speech in one of Dean's darkest moments. )

Caught a spirit your first time through. Maybe I'm rubbing off on you.
braveandstupid: (and the world would hear this)

[personal profile] braveandstupid 2022-10-27 12:24 am (UTC)(link)
Possible. Or it could just be that I'm a magnet for supernatural trouble, no matter where I go.

[She smirks. Katherine likely has a comment about Elena just being unable to resist a sad face, but that's not the point of the banter in this conversation.]

I want to shower off the road, though. Where do you want me to sleep?

[Are they sharing a room? Does he want some space, given that his mom is around? Or would it be better to condense since more people are coming?]

Nah, I don't believe it.

( Mostly because, coincidences have never been a thing in his life. )

You uh - you can bunk with me. 'Less you want your space for your - girl stuff.
braveandstupid: (you see the smile that's on my mouth)

[personal profile] braveandstupid 2022-10-30 01:48 am (UTC)(link)
Didn't really have a lot of time to pack my girl stuff while running for my life. But bunking with you works for me.

[And she will let Dean lead her off and we will call this moment complete for now.]
