There weren't many advantages of being able to fly over teleporting, but one that Nathan liked was that he could leave the Hyperion roof and land in the Winchester's yard without ever putting himself or whoever was with him in any dangerous position, since he was so fast in the sky, he doubted a demon could try and take him out from below and their barrier let him pass through it without issue. It was the reason he had agreed to let his younger daughter come along, despite the danger she was now in, because he could move her safely from one place to another. Not that, in the end, he thought anything safer than the Hyperion, but other people did and rather than object, Nathan chose to try and trust those opinions for the knowledge that backed them.
"Still cool?" he asked once they were on the ground in the Winchester's yard, releasing Claire with a grin, the question more joke than an actual question now, and then moved to the house.
Inside, down in the family room at the bottom level of the Winchester home, his older daughter latched onto him with a fierceness that even now, after all these months of working on a relationship with her, never failed to surprise Nathan. He had made a lot of mistakes in both his daughter's lives, some his doing, some out of his control, but LA had been a place to make those things right.
Of course, LA had also been a place for a lot of things to go wrong, like some godforsaken demon kidnapping his daughter and torturing her.
Biting back the flaring anger at the thought, Nathan hugged Claire tighter for a few moments longer. "How are you? How's Mary?" he asked, looking down at her.
