24 [Video]

[Coming back to reality is a nauseating experience.

The last time Sam Winchester went grey, he wasn't in a great mental place. He had thought he had officially lost his mind -- and when Sam woke up in the hospital and refused to leave, he was fairly certain he was going to kick it. He hated not being in control of his own body -- it was the one thing Sam Winchester absolutely couldn't deal with.

This time, when he came back, he had had a similar freakout.

It took a couple of hours of wandering around and deep breathing for him to calm down enough to cope with being back in Asgard, a little dizzy and oddly tired. But all of that he could deal with, because Sam was up to date.

The angels fell. Sam had almost died. The trials were a fluke. Crowley was... well, Sam wasn't entirely sure what Crowley was anymore, but he didn't really find it in his heart to care.

Despite all of that, though, Sam felt pretty... good. Good enough to turn on the video feed and deliver his flattest expression, though his irritation is betrayed by the brightness in his eyes and the tiniest upward twitch of his lips.]


I had this speech prepared about the inaccuracies of the autumn festival with the time period of the height of popularity of the Norwegian gods, but then I could've sworn I smelled deep-fried Oreos, and I decided to follow my nose instead of give a history lesson.

[With a brief sigh as Sam turns, the camera revealing that he's just outside of the castle courtyard, where the food is being cooked and smells... pretty delicious, despite Sam's general aversion to things that aren't healthy.]

Maybe I missed something in my vacation into uniformed greyness, but... I'm pretty sure I just saw a native Asgardian eat a hot dog. Are we celebrating our Travelers' heritage or is this some kind of joke? And has anyone told them what's actually in those things, because they're --

[Sam stops himself from his lecture, though, and lets out a sigh that turns into a soft laugh before shrugging, letting it go.]

Anyway -- my name is Sam Winchester and I guess I'm back from the grey-dead, to those that know me or care. And to the new people, uh -- I guess enjoy the food.

[Pause.]

But try to make sure you know what you're eating, first.

[And he turns off the feed.]

Ha. Sam's...a good man. He's like Lee that way I guess. Always trying to do the right thing.

[She nods, giving a small smile and raised eyebrow.]

He did. Why, that worry you or something?

Brothers, right. I guess I wouldn't know from experience. Never had any siblings myself.

[And the Adama boys. Well. She kind of ended up getting Zak killed, but she did hear stories of Lee through him prior to meeting the other brother at least.]

You reckon? And why is that? Isn't the oldest usually the..what's the term, guinea pig for the parents?

I guess I wouldn't know anything with first hand experience on favourite kids. I'll take your word for it though.

[But that tone and amused expression clearly says she's merely poking fun.]

Ha. Right. Even though I bet you probably got into plenty of fights together.

[In some ways she can't help envying others with siblings. To know what that bond and experience must be like. Then again, subjecting anyone else to her upbringing, she wouldn't wish that on anyone else with her mother's abuse.]

Hah! Right. So it still continues. I guess I can't be too surprised. I get into enough fights myself, let alone with relatives.

Somehow I doubt after me either of my parents wanted another kid. But you're probably right. Or I'd try be a pain to my older sibling.

Good point. Pretty sure I probably had at least some part to play in my parents not having any other kids though.

I'm not sure if Dean might disprove that. Maybe they wanted to give him a play mate so he wouldn't be so bratty for them?
