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: 2023-01-30 11:53 pm (UTC)“Dean. Wake up.” The lump under the blanket that’s his brother growls something suspiciously like “Sammy, shut up or I will end you I swear.”

Date: 2023-01-31 12:01 am (UTC)The lump stills, then sits up. Dean shoves the blanket down and gives Sam an incredulous stare. “Run that by me again?”
Sam waves a hand at Waverly. “Company,” he explains. “Dean, this is Waverly. Waverly, my brother Dean.”
no subject
Date: 2023-01-31 03:31 am (UTC)Dean.
Is not wearing a shirt. "Um – "
Waverly turns to the side and holds up a hand to block her own view, not wanting to embarrass him. Bad enough to wake him up in the middle of the night. She lifts her other hand high enough over her head to wiggle her fingers in a wave. "Hi, I'm Waverly."
no subject
Date: 2023-01-31 11:50 am (UTC)"No," Sam grits out. "I couldn't sleep, so I went to the bar to do some research. That bar."
"So why're you waking me up now? There a problem?" Dean demands.
"Not exactly," Sam hedges. "Waverly lost something. I'm going to help her look for it. She was worried you'd be worried if I didn't let you know, first."

Date: 2023-01-31 01:38 pm (UTC)He was going to have to tell him anyway, given Wynonna's offer. Sam braces himself. "Waverly's sister has a gun that's like the Colt."
That wakes Dean up all the rest of the way, and fast. "You got demon problems?" he demands. Before Sam can speak, his brother orders, "Not you. I wanna hear what she has to say."
no subject
Date: 2023-01-31 01:45 pm (UTC)She turns to face him, the hand that had been lifted dropping to her side, the other, holding the skull, coming into view. "Well, revenants. But they're a kind of demon... I think."
no subject
Date: 2023-01-31 01:49 pm (UTC)"Different worlds," Sam reminds him. "Also, they're Canadian."
"Is that why she's carrying around a skull?" Dean wants to know.

Date: 2023-01-31 02:03 pm (UTC)The skull gazes at him, empty and disapproving. "And the revenants are demons... or demonic, anyway. They resurrect and have to get sent back to Hell by the Earp heir. It's a whole thing."
no subject
Date: 2023-01-31 02:09 pm (UTC)"Her older sister, actually," Sam puts in, watching Dean's preparations with dismay and resignation mixed. "Wynonna. And yes, that Earp. Evidently he moved to Canada after Arizona. It's his gun that she's using now. Peacemaker. You know, Dean, you don't have to --"
Dean wheels around to pin him with a stare. "Don't you even try it."

Date: 2023-01-31 02:21 pm (UTC)"It's not a hunt," he protests. "More like hide and seek. You don't have to come, Dean, I just thought you'd want to know."
"You're damn right I want to know before you go off to another world chasing skeletons. Unless that's not really what you're chasin'."
Sam glares at him. "Stop it."

Date: 2023-01-31 02:28 pm (UTC)"Hopefully we won't be running across the witch," Sam tries. "But... you can probably see why I offered to help out. Bring your EMF meter, okay?"
Dean rolls his eyes at him and grabs his duffel bag. "Do not go anywhere until I get back," he commands them both, and stalks out to the Impala. Sam sighs and looks at Waverly.
