First ☤ Video

[The video feed flickers on but Luke seems more intent on studying the touchscreen that's popped up once he turned on the bracelet. He'll get around to addressing everyone in a sec, he's a little more interested in getting more familiar with the technology. Demigods and technology generally didn't go together for safety purposes, but if he was already dead, maybe it didn't matter.

Granted, he wasn't even sure if he was still dead at this point. This wasn't rebirth. He didn't have any recollection of anything beyond his final breath, but here he was and he was able to breathe, see, and think. And then, of course, there was the fact he could also apparently hear other people's thoughts. It was jarring to have random strains of thought that weren't his entering his brain. He had to figure out how to control his new power so that it didn't drive him to insanity. However, he had more important matters to attend to. He finally stops, focusing on directing his message to the city at large.]

Someone told me that the gods talk to us a lot. Our gods aren't exactly the most chatty, so I'm not sure if I buy it. Which one of them are we supposed to talk to if we don't belong here? [His fingers seem to be reaching forward to push some buttons on the keyboard, still experimenting.]

If I can’t get an answer for that question, then how about this: who's actually right in this war?

[There's a lot more he'd like to say, but as it is he's going to stop and just wait. Come on, Asgard. Give him options.]

S'far as I know Sam's been here a while.

[He shrugs. He's not really sure how long. He never thought to ask him. Long enough to have a steady girlfriend. That means something.]

I've been around a couple of months. Came and went once already, and apparently I was here before but don't remember any of it. Blamin' that one on these pagan assholes.

Some girl told me people have been here for up to ten months. Think Sam's one of those?

[Even more reason to get in touch with the other Winchester, he thinks.]

Pretty sure we can blame everything on these guys. [It's what he likes to do at home, anyway.] Let me guess, you don't remember how you came and went either.

He could be. Seems like it, anyway. Him and Cas too. Maybe even Jo, but you don't know her.

[This whole things not new for Dean. Despite his tone when it comes to talking about the place he is pretty grateful Adam's here and not in the pit.]

Nope. Sure as hell didn't remember this place back home or I would've had some stories to tell everyone I was goin' back to. They would've thought I was crazy. When I wound up back here it was like I'd only been gone for a few months when in real-time I was livin' out six years.

[Is Cas a boy or a girl. He'd wonder about Jo, but Dean sort of just cleared that up. Things to research, things to ponder.] Who else is around?

[He frowns a little. While Asgard might be a better option than Tartarus, it's still pretty jarring to think he died, went to Elysium, achieved rebirth and now apparently is some guy named Adam. If that's the case. What else would it be though? It was right on par with his plans...]

You say that like some people don't think you're crazy already. [Time, apparently, was more messed up than he thought. It's just more fuel for his argument that Adam might very well be a rebirth form. Of course it's also interesting to think about seeing how he spent a while being the Lord of Time. He's had his share of time bending.] Six years. I want to know how the gods are doing it.

Ash, and Cas's wife. You don't know those two either.

[He doesn't look happy to be sharing the intel, but he figures that he owes it to him.]

You kinda came in at the 9th inning. Things were gettin' pretty rough and you were only you for a little while.

[That's all he's saying.]

Huh. You're probably right. I'm not exactly the best at living easy or taking things as they come, and our home life's pretty screwed up. It only gets worst after you bite it.

Me too. You'd think if they could break the laws of physics that they could fight their own damn war.

Guess I have a lot to catch up on. [Sure, Dean. You totally owe him. He has no idea what Adam's life is like, but he can probably play along for a little longer.

Except...apparently "Adam" dies, too. Does that mean he's already on his way to a second rebirth? That really didn't last that long. There isn't really any way to ask that, and it's sort of unfortunate that telepathy doesn't work via the network.]

I'm not sure I want to know how much worse it can get. [Maybe if he plays dumb he can wheedle a little more information out of him...still, he shrugs.] Gods never seem to actually want to put forth effort in anything. They stay out of the way and expect everyone else to figure things out.

Take it easy. We don't need to spill the details on you all at once.

[He'd be surprised of Adam could still stand after everything they had to share with him. Especially after hell, after the cage, after being Michael's meat suit.]

You and me both. [Dean sighs, grits his teeth.] Sure, when they're not eating people.

Someday soon though. I hate not knowing the truth.

[He's mostly taking interest in the way Dean talks to him, watching carefully and picking apart the dialect. How had Adam fit into the Winchesters' lives and slid out so easily?]

Excuse me? These gods actually eat people?

Last time I we spoke face to face you seemed pretty content on stayin' out of it.

[Dean sighs and scrubs a hand over his face. He doesn't like involving Adam. Adam wouldn't even be in the equation if it weren't for the god squad.]

The ones back home did. Not sure on these guys yet. We might be a pretty big buffet to these clowns. Who knows.

Yeah, and look at how that turned out. [It's a shot in the dark, but if Adam's life was anything like his (which, from the sound of it, there were a few odd similarities), Adam got involved because he was given false hope, false promises. Not enough details, just enough for baiting him to do someone else's work. He's not commenting on the gods eating people yet though. He wants to see what Dean's going to say about the first part instead.]

I tried to get you outta there. It was too late. Michael took over and then you got the raw end of the deal again when Sam pulled Mike in with him.

[Dean looks uncomfortable. Guilt isn't a good look for him and he's sure sorry isn't enough. Which is why he doesn't come out and say it.]

And now here we are. [Guilt wasn't exactly what he had in mind, but it's definitely helping him fill in the pieces.] No Michael, no cage.

This place is a helluva lot better than home. Even for a hostage situation. There's no med school but you could probably stop by the hospital and see if you qualify.

[...sorry, he almost bursts out laughing. Adam apparently was studying medicine, and Luke's father's caduceus is usually used as a symbol for medicine. Gods, can't get away from Hermes, can he?]

Um...yeah. Yeah, I'll check into that when I get settled in. There's still a lot to get used to. Been a while since I've been free, right?

Three years. Not sure how many that adds up to downstairs. It's different for everyone.

It's a really long time, let's just leave it at that.

Fine by me. Hopefully you can get settled into your god house and find some work before facin' Sam and the rest head on. If I were you I'd soak up as much me-time as I can get.

Yeah, I plan on it. [A pause. On the other hand...] Y'know, you make it sound like things are going to get complicated when Sam and the others finds out.

Yeah. Probably. They don't know there's a halfchester up and running around. Well, Sam does... and so does Cas, but the rest don't have a clue.

[A halfchester. It's not hard to figure out what that means, and he's suddenly giving Dean a more intense look. This guy was his half-brother in his next possible life? Well...things could be worse.] Think they need to know?

Not if you don't want 'em to.

[He knows the secret's not gonna be kept in the long run but there's no use telling Adam that. He's just as willful as Sam is about this kind of thing.]

I'll think about it. [He knows eventually his lie's going to unravel, but now he's a little too curious and a little too invested.]

Tell me something. What have you and Sam been doing since...Sam escaped? [Is that the right assumption? He hopes so.]

You're not gonna like it.

[Dean's not about to disclose the fact that they were trying to shut the gates of hell, or that they found purgatory, not when it mean screwing over his littlest brother in the process.]
