001 - Returning home so to speak..

[junkyard_hunter]

[Bobby returns to consciousness with a pained groan, head in his hands. He slowly swivels his head around, taking in his surroundings. A massive cave, a river, a bony sonofabitch in a robe

Bobby? [Dean doesn't wait for a reply. He knows where the older man is, recognizes the docks. And it's really the only place he could be since he'd gone home. But he's back now. Whatever Dean had been doing was dropped as he heads for that area of the Underworld, supplies in hand. He has to make sure that's really Bobby, and while it might be better for Bobby himself if it wasn't... Dean wants him to be back.]

[junkyard_hunter]

Yeah kid, 's me. [Bobby's leaning against one of the buildings, rubbing at his forehead. Bitch of a time for a headache to spring up.]

How long, Dean? How long have I been gone?

[will_end_you]

[As he actually approaches Bobby Dean slows his pace. He has a duffle bag with him containing salt, holy water, etc - basic supplies. This could... not be Bobby. Dean knows that. Especially with the latest bit of crazy that the Underworld had thrown at them. He stops, running a hand over his face.] I dunno. Almost two months?

[He frowns a little.] You remember being here?

[junkyard_hunter]

[It doesn't take a psychic to know what Dean has in that duffel. Bobby waits, letting Dean approach with caution. Good. At least he was still.. no. He wasn't going to think about that, the Dean that had all but given up back home. He'd get back to him in time, find some way to slap some sense into him before it was too late.

[He offers Dean a wry look.] Stuck in a cave, random acts of violence and torture? Kinda makes it hard to forget stellar accommodations like that.

...Bobby? [Anna can't quite believe her eyes or ears.] Is that you?

[There's another. That makes at least two. Bobby nods, a slight smile on his face. He was trapped back in the Underworld, but he was glad to see Anna regardless.]

Yeah. It's me, Anna. Guess they liked my work so much, I got brought back for an encore. [the joke is wry, and not exactly heartfelt considering his raging headache, but he still feels the need to make the attempt.]

[And a ridiculously relieved angel lands next to him a second later and catches him up in a big hug.] Oh my god, I'm so glad to see you. [She's sorry that he's been dragged back to this place, of course, but so many people are either confirmed gone or have just now turned up missing...hell, she'd even be glad to see Crowley, the rat, but Bobby is much, much better.]

[If it had been anyone else at all (with the possible exception of Ellen) Bobby probably would have bitched about the hug. But damnit, he liked Anna, and had no doubt that the Underworld hadn't let up in it's tricks while he was gone. So he wrapped his arms around her, hugging her just as tightly.

[The boys will be all right for awhile. Right now, it sounded like his family here needed him just as much.] 'm glad to see you too, kid.

[junkyard_hunter]

[If he hadn't have seen her in the Underworld once before, he probably would have been a bit more stunned. A slow smile breaks over his face. Ellen's gotta be over the moon to have her back.] Hey kid. Yeah, it's been awhile.

've seen people come and go a couple of times, you included.

Guess I'm just a trendsetter - I got no idea. [That was.. more than a little troubling. But he'd deal with that little bump in the road later.] Thanks for the heads up.

Everyone all right so far?

[Bobby's going to hate it because Sam's been straightening his house up. And most of the books have been moved over to his table in the library. Too much stuff that was important that needed to be kept close.]

[Like Dean, Sam doesn't bother with talking when he hears that voice. Instead, like Bobby had done for him, he heads straight toward the docks. And has to pause, because some part of him had been convinced that he wouldn't see the other man again. Then again, given everything that's been happening around the Underworld...]

Bobby?

[He still wants to believe, though.]

[junkyard_hunter]

[Sam. He's been so caught up in worrying about both of them, and even if he'd just seen the kid a few hours ago, he can't deny a swell of relief as he sees him make his way down towards the docks.

[Bobby smiles, pulling Sam into a relieved (if quick) embrace.] 's damn good to see you kid.

[chosefamily]

[Sam lets himself be pulled, hugging Bobby back. And that makes a bit of the tension fall out of his shoulders, too.]

It's...it's good to see you too, Bobby. Really good.

[junkyard_hunter]

[Goddamnit, he needed to think around this headache.] How long have I been gone, Sam? I'm gettin the sense time is a little out of whack around here.
