Day 40: Sun Room [Fourth Shift]

[clockmongler]

Well, that was... special. No wonder he was losing respect for this place--the fearful Martin Landel was coming undone, most probably with boredom. So scary. Even Nursey seemed a little exasperated, though that most likely had more to do with X's constant insistence to stay in the Sun Room rather than go inside the Greenhouse

Sure. Tonight. Said like that, he might as well come along because it sounded so damn reasonable.

Dean watched Fancy Nancy take off, not at all troubled he'd done a 180 out of nowhere to cancel plans with his brother, all because a total stranger told him to.

Suddenly he felt dizzy, disoriented. The hunter blinked, giving a small shake as if coming out of a fog. Oh man, he'd knew he was getting jacked up from getting crap sleep, thanks to getting his ass kicked and worrying about Sammy and the hunts, but he didn't think he'd had it that bad. Graying out wasn't ever a good thing, especially when he was pretty sure he was missing a chunk of time - the last thing he remembered was facing the bulletin board, finishing up checking the post about Croaky, and now he was definitely facing away from it. Dean's mouth thinned into a line as he passed a hand over his face, rubbing at his eyes and knowing sooner or later, he was gonna need to get an actual night's sleep or he'd drop dead before his year even came close to being up. Getting his second wind knowing Sammy was alive and nearby didn't mean he could go all Terminator on this. A guy still needed to eat and sleep, and while Dean had no problems with the eating part, he knew he wasn't getting enough rest. Running on empty like this all the time was just a plain fool thing to do, especially when they were this deep in enemy territory.

His little lapse must've been noticed, 'cause the next thing he knew, Hello Nurse was at his side. She placed a hand on his back, looking at him with some concern.

"You okay?"

Dean shrugged. "Got a little dizzy, that's all."

"Let's get you to the Greenhouse, maybe you'll feel better there, Mr. Derringer."

Maybe. Dean would've rather just taken a nap and recharged the batteries. Still, going to this Greenhouse was a good idea, if only because he hadn't ever been there before and it never hurt to get to know more about the layout of this place personally. It beat trying to do the same thing at night, and hoping you didn't run into more friggen ghosts, witches, or whatever the hell else Landels had here to screw your shit up. There might be some plants or tools they could use to build up their practically non-existent arsenal. With that in mind, Hello Nurse ushered him out from the Sun Room, leaving behind the forgotten notes and the fact he'd flaked on his own little brother.
