Over in the training field, there's important experimentation going on. An old archery target has been set up, and some paces away is a long white and red stick on top of a tripod.

From the top of this stick,a couple of wires loop out and attach to a roughly made glove on the left hand of a blonde woman with a blindfold loosely tied around her eyes as she lines up a homemade bow towards the target and shoots.

In succession, she shoots three arrows near and around the bullseye, approaches with confidence, checks the location, and returns.

It all takes a lot of concentration. Distractions might put her off her stroke.

"Actually?" Sam looks a little surprised at his response, too, grin self-deprecating. "I'm kind of relieved. There's been way too much action the last few months, it'll be kinda nice to be Research Man again."

Even if Dean makes fun of him the whole time.

Sam nods and, despite the tone in her question, is grinning at her. "Yeah, as soon as I could read the language without you making fun of me. Speaking of which, Oracle asked me to pick up a few books for her. Found some you might be interested in."

"Yeah, there was a braille section in one of the libraries."

Smug Sam is smug.

...or will be, when he's sure he did a good thing for her.

Grinning, Sam holds out his arm for her to take. "Well, you let me fight zombies and catch a ride home with you. I think I owed you, really."

"I'm going to assume you meant walking," Sam replies, arching a brow as he starts to lead her toward the car. "Because I think you need to have stuff to actually qualify a 'move.' And a place you want to stay permanently."

"Smart move."

Dean wanders over, wiping grease off his hands with a filthy rag. "You gotta be Leah, right?"

Sam blinks and then grins, flattered that she trusts him.

Also, grinning when his brother appears. "Leah, this's my brother, Dean," he says - and quickly puts a hand lightly on Leah's wrist to guide her hand back down. "And he's working on his car, so don't touch his hands."

Dean grins his most winning grin.

It is a bit of a lost cause, but that's Dean for you.

"Pleasure to meet you. Sam hasn't told me nearly enough about you."

[identity profile] not-scully.livejournal.com 2008-11-23 06:54 am (UTC)(link)
Sam is arching a brow at his brother because unless he wants the winning grin to work on Sam, he's wasting his time. The flirting just makes him roll his eyes.

Leah's response? Well...

Sam wouldn't laugh at his brother. That would be rude.

Dean shoots him a death glare. A Vry Srs one. He's totally not kind of amused either.

"That'd be her, yeah. Sam's talked about her?"

[identity profile] not-scully.livejournal.com 2008-11-23 07:06 am (UTC)(link)
Sam doesn't know that. Because Sam can be kind of innocently foolish about these things.

Also, busy laughing at his brother.

"Hey, what can I say, she is a beautiful car," Dean informs her, grinning again. "Sammy's just jealous."

[identity profile] not-scully.livejournal.com 2008-11-23 07:21 am (UTC)(link)
"Sammy has his own car now," Sam points out with an amused roll of his eyes, "that Deanny won't shut up about wanting to drive."

Then he falls silent with a sigh because listening to Leah and Dean wax poetic about the Impala will be a conversation he's heard before.

[identity profile] hector-aframian.livejournal.com 2008-11-23 07:30 am (UTC)(link)
But it's such a good conversation. Dean loves it.

"Hey," Dean says, glaring at Sam. "Quit that."

No calling him Deanny. That's just wrong. JUST BECAUSE SAM HAPPENS TO BE BIGGER NOW D:

Sam is abruptly ten thousand times more smug now. His smirk practically reeks 'my car is cooler than yours and the pretty girl on my arm says so.'
