The streets of Lawrence, Kansas were dark until about thirty seconds ago.

Then there was light - not your usual 'Somebody just shattered' light, because there aren't new arrivals, really. More along the lines of a 'Somebody just defeated a serious badass and won their way home' kind of light, which is....fitting, really, since that's what just happened.

Faith Lehane, Sam Winchester, and Mary Winchester are now standing in the street in front of the Winchesters' home. All three of them are looking a little beat up around the edges, but Faith has clearly gotten the worst of it; she's bleeding from the mouth, bruised on every visible inch of skin, and cradling her ribs in a manner which probably means they're broken. They all look dazed, tired, and in serious need of a hot bath.

But they're smiling, because they just defeated a serious badass and won their way home.

Dianne's not in The House right now.

Or any other house, for that matter.

She's been sitting in the Impala for the past few hours, alternately blasting out some of her rock tapes and sitting in silence.

And that's about it.

Things Dianne has learned in the past month or so:

1) Do not wander out alone and get kidnapped by seven midgets.

2) Do not insult midgets when they attempt to make you keep house for them. At least, not without weapons to back yourself up properly.

3) Or family members.

4) Don't let them caste a spell on your or whatever that makes you fall asleep for a long time, even if it means tearing out every single one of their goddamn beards.

5) Shooting glass coffins from the inside is slightly painful because HUNDREDS OF GLASS PIECES, even if it is effective.

So, one Dianne Winchester staggering through the streets of Lawrence towards the usual Winchester Center, pissed and bleeding.

Sam can't stop smiling.

His right hand is tangled firmly with Jess; he's driving with the left, carefully, and occasionally sneaking glances at her face as he does.

When they pull into the driveway, he stops the car behind Dianne's and turns to her, beaming.

"Welcome home, Mrs. Winchester."






He likes saying it, okay?

Mary Winchester is sitting on the front porch of almost-her-house, watching the skies.

You know, in case her son should come home in the flying Impala.

As much as it's become a sort of Winchester magnet, the house is not exactly Dianne's favorite place to be.

This is why, when she's not with her baby*, she's put up shop (so to speak) in a somewhat near, likewise-abandoned house that is more or less intact and the beds are pretty comfortable.

(Which makes her feel just a bit like Goldilocks, and that just isn't right.)

Presently, she's dragged a chair out onto the porch for the purpose of busily not wondering what's happening in her universe without her.

(It looks oddly a little bit like napping.)



*The Impala. >.<

Sam's poor, tousled head is all filled up with angst at the moment.

He's a few streets away from the house they're all staying in, perched on somebody's porch, drinking a purloined beer and thinking Very Deep Thoughts.

Jo ended up with the Winchester's for the night. Her bike parked off to the side of the double Impala tracks.

Unsurprisingly, it was infuriatingly easy for five people to end up under each others feet moving around in a house.

Needing to escape the muddle of Winchesters, Jo is sitting on the porch steps drinking a glass of tea Mary handed her on the way out.

Kansas City isn't the patron glory hole of the middle she expects.

Sparsely peopled on the edge of a teetering world, where looting and cowering came first. Jo is never going to attempt the second, but she's never been above the first when in need. Which is why she spends a good deal of the day collecting things. First came new clothes, specifically tight jeans and another thin, clinging, long sleeve shirt. Then there is a back holster and then a back pack stuffed through the afternoon with two shirts, two boxes of rifle rounds, canned food, flint and steel keychain, a large bottle of water, a bottle of tequila, a container of salt, a box of tampons and of condoms, betadine and two rolls of bandages.

Beauty personified showed up in the mid afternoon, in the shape of a motorcycle lying on its side in an alley in a deserted part of the town. Her paint job was crap on one side now and some of the casing cracked, looked like it had taken a hard tumble landing here, but her gears and wheels were only well worn, and she purred like a kitten once Jo finished the hot wiring.

It was the beginning of a beautiful friendship when she started it up and rode out of town, headed west on I-70. Jo didn't know what she was looking for in Lawrence (She'd steered clear back home out of respect.) but it was getting a once over before she headed toward any commune farm outta Topeka.

Dean hates Lawrence.

For one thing, he'd sworn never to come back here. And sure, they kinda broke that vow when Sammy's visions started showing, but that was a job. That was different.

This -- pacing around the verandah while Sammy snores in a chair, waiting for anything to happen, waiting for Sam to wake up and convince Dean he's had enough sleep for them to leave --

-- waiting for the hellhounds to find him --

-- this is gonna drive him absolutely bugfuck nuts.

But Sam said stay, and Dean came too close to losing him to do anything but that.

He kicks at the gate, irritably, and glares down the street.

Not being bleeding, on fire and stuck to the ceiling? Very good news.

Being cold, alone, barefoot and in her nightgown by the side of a road who-knows-where? Slightly less good news.

Mary Winchester arrives in this world in much the same way she'd been afraid she was going to leave her old one - with a flash, a bang, and a great deal of discomfort.

Living in the Apocalypse is going to make a world-class scavenger out of her, Dianne thinks.

She's found herself a sweet stash of food, knives, ammunition, and tampons and an more-or-less intact gas station not too far from their house.

This sort of victory results in a good mood, and blasting "All Right Now" as she nears the house.

Lawrence, Kansas, is not a spectacular town. It does not have neon lights pointing to it detailing "EVERYTHING IMPORTANT IN THE WORLD TO BE FOUND HERE". Given the recent Apocalypse, it doesn't even have lights. Or people anymore, for that matter.

Still, it's home.

And what's more, that's home. Once she started recognizing landmarks, Dianne began leading the way, and lead she did- directly to an innocent, perfectly ordinary if slightly broken-down home. She pulls the Impala into the driveway (which could use some re-paving, to be honest), and steps out, stretching, and waits for Faith.

Picture a long stretch of road in the middle of Nothingville leading from nowhere to nowhere. Nothing is on this road. That won't last long.

First, there is the music. Loud. ACDC. Deeply ironic.

Then, the car. A 1967 Chevrolet Impala, liscense plates 'KAZ 2Y5'.

Mood established, the narration now brings your attention to the woman clambering out of that car which is playing that music. Using her amazing detective skills, she has noted the following things: the car that was behind her just vanished; also that truck coming from the other direction; not to mention the road signs are significantly more battered; not to mention it was sundown a minute ago and now it's freakin' noon.

Faced with such irrefutable facts, she does the only thing a normal, rational human being could do:

"What," she says very loudly, "the fuck?"
