Day 38: Breakfast

Jan 06, 2009 16:02

What a singularly delightful evening he'd had. It was dampened, of course, by two things, but those were small things and he supposed he could overlook them for now. First was that his powers had still not returned. If he truly were on punishment as he thought, though, he couldn't very well expect those to come back. Second was that the little ( Read more... )

[Unknowingly waiting for Harry Osborn]

Dean didn't think he'd lost enough blood to go blacking out.

Obviously he thought wrong: next thing he knew, he was waking up in the bed, his body sore and unable to see clearly out of one eye. Reaching up, Dean gingerly tested the bandages wrapped around his forehead: they weren't a rush job, he realized, finding that they wasn't too tight or too loose and why had they even bothered? For a place that seemed pretty determined on tryin' to get his ass beat or killed, it was surprisingly squeamish about finishing the damn job. Twice now he'd been unconscious. It would've been easy to kill him; he liked to think he was badass but honestly, if you wanted to go killing a guy, it couldn't get any easier then when he was out-cold ( ... )

Dean found himself seated at one of the empty tables, chin cupped in one hand, waiting for Hello Nurse to come back with his tray of food; she'd insisted on getting it for him so he could "take it easy", as if he was about to keel over. Dean absently checked her out, eyes on her ass as she bent over to get something to put on the tray. As asses went, hers wasn't all that bad. Dean scanned the room for Sam, mouth turned down in a frown as he searched for him. No sign of him; his giant of a brother would be hard to miss when he was towering over everyone else. Something in him went a little bit more still, all his questions and fears starting to bubble up in the back of his mind ( ... )

Harry was awake long before the morning intercom announcement thanks to the pain from the wound in his leg. It had been difficult enough getting to sleep last night but he was glad he'd decided to spend the night recuperating instead of braving the hallways again. While he was still far from recovered he thought the pain had receded somewhat overnight. He did heal faster than normal thanks to his father's performance enhancer and he'd never had so much reason to be grateful for its effects as he did now ( ... )

littlegoblinjr January 6 2009, 11:24:03 UTC

His new friend looked normal enough, close to his age and also pretty banged up - and how dense did the staff have to be not think it was weird? He'd also been flirting with the nurse as Harry was led over. Maybe the new plan was to sleep your way out? Couldn't work any worse than the other plans he'd heard.

Harry eased himself down onto the seat and arranged the crutch beside him. The nurse hadn't been quite stupid enough to get him food that needed two hands to eat but it was still going to be awkward. More to the point he'd rather not humiliate himself in front of a stranger by trying.

Ignoring his meal for now Harry glanced across at his companion. "Hey, I'm Harry." He didn't think he'd seen this guy around before but that didn't mean much, the only people he did see were the ones he didn't want to.

He thought it he had it bad. Looking up at the new kid, who looked closer to Sam's age, Dean saw that Harry looked more like death warmed over and more than a little cranky. Considering the fact he was using a crutch and limping heavily with a broken arm to boot, Dean guessed the guy had good reason.

"Brian," Dean said, an eyebrow raised despite his own injuries. "Rough night?"

The second thing he'd noticed besides the kid's limp was his face: one half of it was heavily scarred, like he'd gone sticking his head into a fire. Whatever happened, it was mostly healed over. He wondered if it'd happened here or somewhere else. He didn't look away from Two-Face's scar, like he'd been caught red-handed, instead looking him in the eyes: sucked to be him, but Dean had seen a lot worse shit in his life happen to people and he'd been years past the point of being shocked anymore.

Harry snorted at the question, "You need to ask? Looks like yours was almost as bad." Looking up from trying to pick what he actually wanted to eat he froze as he caught Brian staring brazenly at the scars on his face ( ... )

Dean held up his hands. "Now look who's askin'," he said, an easy-going smile on his face. He shrugged, the smile dropping as he pointed at his own face, tapping his cheek to mirror Harry's scar. "Must've hurt like a mother is what I was thinkin'."

Obviously it was a sore subject. He would've been surprised if it wasn't, but Dean wasn't known for being the most tactful of people and while he was hardly crossed out by one scar - whether it was on Harry's face or somewhere else - he wasn't really in the mood to get bitched at. Dean speared one of the pigs in a blanket, chewing on it as he regarded Harry: so far he hadn't been able to figure out the pattern, if there was one, of who got selected for Landels. Obviously demons had something to do with it, but if they were picking people, they were doing it randomly. As far as he could tell, he had nothing in common with Two-Face here aside from both of them being unlucky bastards.

Scowl still firmly in place Harry snapped back "Of course it did. You're a real master of stating the obvious." He was aware he was overreacting but he hated being reminded of that night and everything that had led up to it. Thinking about the mess that used to be his face also brought back the too-fresh memories of the night with Brock and just how much the bastard had enjoyed gloating over what happened with Peter ( ... )

theroadsofar January 7 2009, 12:21:06 UTC

No, this wasn't awkward at all.

"Nothin'," Dean said. It just now occurred to him he should probably back off and apologize, although honestly, he didn't think he'd done anything worth apologizing for. "Look, man, sorry. Shitty conversation starter. I'm new," he added, falling back on the whole tried and true newbie excuse. "Still adjusting ( ... )

littlegoblinjr January 8 2009, 02:19:02 UTC

Mollified, Harry forced himself to relax. He'd overreacted to begin with and Brian had apologised. Plus he was new and Harry knew how disconcerting it was waking up here with no idea what happened. The other man still had the advantage of not having been badly wounded - supposed to be dead, even - before his arrival ( ... )

theroadsofar January 8 2009, 07:30:20 UTC

Couldn't fault a guy for that ( ... )

littlegoblinjr January 8 2009, 08:52:09 UTC

Harry shook his head, smiling grimly at Brian. "Good luck with that. It's not a good idea to cause trouble during the day." He'd learned the hard way that it was nearly impossible to get anywhere if you wanted to interrogate or murder someone in peace ( ... )

theroadsofar January 8 2009, 19:23:57 UTC

"Yeah," Dean lied. He wasn't sure how much he could trust Harry and while he hadn't given him his full name, he didn't want to link Sam to him more than he had to and tip him off to who they really were. All he needed to know was Sam was here; he'd find him himself without getting too many people dragged into this. There was no Bobby to help him out this time. "I was on a road trip with him right before I woke up here. Way I figure it, he would've ended up in this joint too ( ... )

littlegoblinjr January 9 2009, 01:54:15 UTC

That was actually kind of interesting. Harry hadn't thought about how people were taken and what happened if they were in a group at the time. It hadn't mattered to him, whatever had happened to him before coming here it was certain he'd been alone when he was taken. It was possible Brian's friend hadn't come here at all. There wasn't any logic to anything else that went on in this place and if the point was to make them suffer that was a good way to do it ( ... )

theroadsofar January 9 2009, 03:34:58 UTC

Well that didn't help. Couldn't blame Harry for that though, there wasn't much he could do if he wasn't even there when it happened. Dean chewed thoughtfully on the last of his breakfast, having inhaled it unconsciously while they were talking and not really tasting it. For the amount of free food he was getting in this joint, he wasn't really enjoying it as much as he would've normally. Things had to be pretty damn shitty when he wasn't getting a kick out of freebies coming at him left and right ( ... )

littlegoblinjr January 9 2009, 05:49:41 UTC

There was something about the look on Brian's face when he started talking about his friend. Harry wasn't sure what to make of it but he knew he didn't want to ask much more than he already had. Unfortunately he was still confused about just what had happened and had to ask, "He just disappeared from a crowded diner, left a pile of bodies behind and then reappeared in another town ( ... )
