Jo? [ have a rushed looking dean, one who can't find sam and is being bombed by other worried people with stuff about their friends missing. ] You around? [ please be around. ] Just- get in touch ASAP.
[ there's relief when the feed from her end is clear, unlike the choppy messes he's seen on the network. ]
Something's up, people're missing. [ beat. ] I can't find Sam. [ the have you seen him? goes unasked, though dean's fairly sure of the answer already. still, he hopes that maybe, just maybe, sam's simply off somewhere -- he hadn't answered any messages -- oblivious of what's going on. or with her- or whatever, just not out there. ]
[She's seen the network posts, has been trying to figure out what the hell is going on. Jo hasn't been around long enough to know if this was normal, but with how everyone seems to be reacting? She doesn't think so.]
I haven't seen him. Not recently, at least. [sorry, dean. Just about everyone back home knows how close they are - the Winchesters, packaged deal. She saw the way Dean acted when Sam was possessed, and with him gone?] The posts on the network, you don't think he's with them, do you?
I don't know where else he'd be. [ he admits a moment later, the reality of the situation settling like a lump in his stomach. it's a familiar feeling, the very one that curls its way around him whenever sam is in danger, whenever he's somewhere dean can't reach him. but despite it, despite how sam might be his everything, dean keeps a cool head -- tries to -- and a moment later he speaks again, voice firmly steady. ]
Only one way to find out. [ sitting around has never been his style. ]
I've got some ideas, yeah. [ creepy hallway number one out of too fucking many. ] But you're not comin' along, Jo, I ain't riskin' you gettin' lost.
[ 3..2..1 to her not listening. but he has to try, if only because of what happened right before he woke up on the ship, what she remembers happening back home. he figures neither of them want a repeat of that and who knows what might lurking in the dark. ]
[Still, you get one of those looks because really, Dean. Really.]
You're kidding, right? [Don't start this now. Just don't. She has died and come back to life and now you want to play over-protective hunter? Spare her, Dean, because she really doesn't want any of it, last moments or no.
She made her choice, and faced the consequences, and now she's making one here too. Because when it comes down to it, if she was given the chance to go back, given a redo, she'd do it all over again.]
I'm coming, whether you want me to or not. So either you let me help you or I'm heading out there alone. [She's had this conversation with Ellen, do you really think you stand a chance?]
You don't know anythin' about this ship, not the first thing 'bout how crazy it can get. [ like he does. or pretends to, anyway. truth is, the few times dean's gone out there to take a look-and-see he hasn't found much of anything. but with Hunter's Shitty Luck he knows if he lets jo go out there now, something will happen.
but he also knows she really will run out there alone if he doesn't take her along. ]
No one knows anything about this ship, if half the shit I'm reading on the network is anything to go by.
[The more she researches, the less she understands, and the more she's starting to realize that's kind of a state of being. No one seems to have any idea, and the only thing she does know if that she's not going to get left behind. Not when Sam might be gone for good, not when Dean could run after him and not come back. She can not do this on her own, as much as she might try.]
Do you? [That's a no, not unless you want to count her knife.] There's a gun stash, isn't there? An armory or something?
[ he holds up his gun, a familiar one with ivory grips and all. ] Was in my locker when I woke up here durin' my first jump.
[ he nods though when she mentions the armory. ] Dunno how easily you'll be able to get a weapon there... but if you do, we'll go. [ so that's up to you, jo! get a weapon and he'll take you along. ]
[She just presses her lips together in a line, keeping herself from commenting about how she gave him her gun right before he left her with her mom. How it's not her fault she's unarmed.]
I'll figure it out. [Oh hey Kirk post talking about weapons. Suddenly everything is easier.] I'll contact you when I get my hands on one. Don't leave without me.
