[ Sam has lost time. The last thing he remembers is entering the lab, getting a look around the place, some friendly sibling bickering in the kitchen. The next thing he knew he was in a bed, or more specifically the one he's claimed since they've arrived at the lab.

Not only that, but it seems like whatever Raphael did to help him before has worn off. As soon as consciousness hits him, the pain starts. There's an idle wonder if it's trying to make up for lost time, because it slams into his body with such a force that he ends up staying in that bed for three hours, unable to move or even call out to anyone.

Great. Because it's not like he has enough problems without being forced to deal with this.

After a bit of time, the pain subsides (or he gets used to it), and he's able to sit up. While he knows he should tell someone what's happening, especially his brother, there's some hesitance on Sam's part. It's not like he doesn't know what's going on with his body, this isn't some spontaneous illness - that pain carries a twinge of familiarity he isn't so happy to feel. And there isn't much anyone can do, especially Dean. However, there is one who helped him before....

[ After learning that Charlie and Kevin are there (and after talking to both of them), Sam sends out a text to all. Normally he would just talk on video, but he doesn't want everyone to see the state he's in. Sam hasn't mastered the art of hiding it very well, especially so soon after this pain has returned. ]

Seems like we've got quite a few new folks around. You need anything, don't hesitate to ask. We're all in this together. I'm Sam Winchester.

I was also wondering about that machine we've got here in the building. Anyone got anything on it yet? I've been kind of indisposed for a while, so if anyone can catch me up that'd be great.



[ Private Text - Raphael ]

If you've got some time today, I'd like to meet up. I've been gone, not sure where but I've lost time. And...I can feel it again. The sickness I had when I arrived before.

Let me know.

Stubborn and impossible to kill.

[Oh, she knows. She turns that tired smile right back on him - it's been a rough few days, worrying about what might have happened to him, especially considering the rumors she's heard of where people go when they vanish from the Cape. Some might be lucky enough to go home, but most of what she's heard has to do with abductions. Experiments.

She doesn't want that for him. Him or anyone else she knows.

The next part happens entirely on impulse, no prior thought given as she lifts her free hand to lightly push some of that unkempt hair away from his face, fingers gently brushing against his cheek and lingering there for a moment before she lays her palm against it and leans up to kiss him, sealing her lips over his without any real warning or preamble. An impulse she'd found herself having to squash down a few times before he'd disappeared. Now that he's back, she's not fighting it anymore.

Everything here is wrong and messed up, but Sam has been constant. Stable, supportive, calming. A friend in a time of need. Getting attached had been inevitable.]

[She's reluctant to pull away when the kiss breaks, but eventually it has to. She lets her hand rest over his against her neck, brushing her thumb against his skin and enjoying, just for a moment, just how nice it was to touch another human being, however innocently. It had been a long time, if she wasn't counting the occasional hug, or the way they'd found themselves holding hands when they first came through the tunnels.

Cape Kore was a lonely place, but even before that? Hunting was a lonely life.

She presses her lips together for a moment before allowing an almost sheepish smile to bloom. She wasn't sorry, even if that one small act raised a million questions.]


I feel like maybe that was a little overdue.

Thought it was--

[She starts to ask him to clarify, but cuts herself off as he damn near doubles over, lurching forwards to catch him by the shoulder, an attempt to support him, keep him upright. Her eyebrows slowly knit themselves together as she frowns, her chest tight, and she glances towards the door before turning her attention back to him, her voice low.]

Should I get help? It was Raphael that you made a deal with, wasn't it?

Are you--

[She wants to ask him if he's sure, to insist that he needs help that she can't give him-- but Ellen's advice comes to mind. She's not here anymore, but her words stick. Don't make deals with angels. Don't trust their good will to be there when you need it.

Instead, she takes his hand, squeezing it.]


Of course I'll stay. I'm not going anywhere, okay? I promise.
