It's still hard to believe it's over; that the yellow-eyed demonic bastard they'd spent their whole lives hunting is finally dead.
Sam figures it'll sink in eventually. Given everything else -- right now he's still pretty numb.
He's also desperately tired, but that doesn't matter. There's something he needs to do, and he can't afford to delay.
He waits until they've settled in for the night, and then waits still longer. Once Dean's been asleep for half an hour, Sam picks up his messenger bag -- already stuffed with books and his computer -- and heads straight for the bar.
He orders black coffee and snags a table with a good view of both doors and the stairs, then pulls out the first of the old texts and starts to search through it.
There's work to do.

Date: 2023-01-09 12:05 am (UTC)She appreciates the way he's matching her shot for shot. This hangover will suck a little less knowing someone else is feeling it, too. "They grabbed Willa and pulled her through the window. And Daddy – "
She stops, abrupt, shaking her head, and reaches for the shot he'd set there for her.

Date: 2023-01-09 12:25 am (UTC)She takes a deep breath and mirrors his gesture, picking up a shot of her own. "Didn't talk about it. No one did. Nobody in Purgatory wanted to believe that there were demons, or curses, or that I was anything but crazy."

Date: 2023-01-09 12:32 am (UTC)“So they just think they have a high rate of violent crimes for unknown reasons?” It’s dry as dust.
no subject
Date: 2023-01-09 03:59 am (UTC)She shrugs. "People will believe anything, as long as you don't say 'demons'."

Date: 2023-01-09 02:11 pm (UTC)Look, she'd been thrown into this with no prep aside from the knowledge that it was coming. "Like I said, Daddy was training Willa. Not me."

Date: 2023-01-09 04:28 pm (UTC)"Why'd you go back?" There's absolutely no judgement in his voice or manner.
no subject
Date: 2023-01-09 06:23 pm (UTC)She shrugs. "So I went and pulled Peacemaker out of the well, and the rest is history."

Date: 2023-01-09 06:37 pm (UTC)Sam shakes his head and tosses back another shot. "Anyway, if there's anything I can do to help you get all the way up to speed, let me know."
no subject
Date: 2023-01-09 06:40 pm (UTC)She means it sincerely, even if sincere isn't a thing that comes naturally to her. "But I've got Dolls for a fight coach and Doc teaching me to shoot. Can't get better than that."
