Who: Needy Lesnicki, Lucas Scott, and Castiel
What: Needy's out and exploring. She's only been there a week, after all.
When: Monday evening.
Where: A street with lots of shops.
Rating: TBD.

NOTE!: Okay. From what I can tell, the three of us are usually on at different times. So just for this one thread I'm doing something unusual for me and saying "To hell with the posting order." :)



It had been just over a week since Needy had first shown up in this weird little world and she still wasn't sure what to think of it. The city itself seemed nice enough. In fact, it reminded her of a trip she took with her mom to Boston once upon a time, long before all of the shit hit the fan with Jennifer and the demon. Or, well, Jennifer the demon. It just depended on how you looked at it.

But one thing Needy found weird was that the people here, most of them didn't seem all that phased by this place. Everyone that used the PDAs was brought here from other worlds and it was like they had just accepted this place. Granted, it seemed like the options consisted of "get over it" or "drive everyone nuts by whining constantly." They all seemed to agree that there was no surefire way home.

So she decided it was about time she went out and explored some more. So far, Needy had already put a dent in that hundred dollars she had been given upon arriving due to buying things like food and clothes, so she should probably work out a way to get more money. Maybe a job or something. If nothing else she needed to start learning the layout of this city. And that was what had made her wander down to a street that seemed to have almost nothing but shopping.

Her hood was pulled up over her head as she walked, a habit she formed after escaping the asylum thanks to not wanting to get caught, but whenever she went into a store to ask if they were hiring she'd always pull it down. She didn't need to look skeezy when trying to get work. But after the fifth store she went into said no, they weren't hiring, Needy went back to the street with a sigh and pulled the hood back into place.

Lucas decided to take a walk around the city.

He figured he should get to know this place a little better since he didn't seem to be able to leave.

It still freaked him out, just walking up in a strange place and hearing people were being kidnapped and that there were demons really freaked him out.

He stuffed his hands in his pockets and walked around a corner, nearly bumping into a girl.

"Sorry, I"m sorry," he said.

Needy stopped quickly when someone almost bumped into her, thankful for her fast reflexes. "It's fine," she said with a small grin as she looked up at him. "Most people can't really see around corners or anything."

She had no way to know if this guy was one of the people that had randomly shown up here the way she had, or if he was one of the people that actually lived here. Not that it really mattered either way. "Hey, do you know if anywhere here's hiring? I kinda need a job."

Castiel had been sent out to bye milk. He knew how, Aziraphale had shown him, but he still felt it was well outside his role.

He was close to the shops when his attention ripped away from thoughts of dairy and correct change.

The girl

It may have been rude. Castiel didn't know or care. Discretion could wait until he had his in. We walked right up to them, the boy and the...
"You're new," he said, standing a mere foot away from Needy.

Needy turned quickly to face yet another guy that had come up to her. "Uh, yeah, I am," she said simply, the look on her face giving off a sort of 'so what?' vibe. "From what I understand it sorta happens here when people get snatched from whatever world they're from."

Once upon a time Needy hadn't been a sarcastic girl. Back then she also hadn't been cynical, bitter, or tough, either. And she certainly didn't have the powers of a demon without being one herself. Man, how things had changed for her.

Castiel stared at her. "Where were you before you were brought here?"
He did not back away, his eyes were dark with concentration.

He knew the minute he turned the corned she was not an merely human.
His voice was suspicious.

Was this guy serious? "Buffalo, New York," she said simply, perking a brow at the guy that seemed kinda like a wackadoodle to her. And Needy knew her wackadoodles. She only headed to Buffalo after breaking out of the asylum she'd been in for several months.

"How about you, Mr. Trench Coat. Where were you before you showed up in this place?" If he could ask things like that, so could she. Besides, from what she understood of this place there was a really good chance that they weren't even from the same version of Earth.

"My name is Castiel," he corrected her. It was not the answer he was expecting but he pressed on.

"Illinois," which was true. "Though I am not from America. From where do you originate?" Castiel was not the most subtle of creatures. He did not understand his questions may have been a little more direct that most humans were used to. All that mattered was solving the puzzle of this being.

"Sorry, no. I uh... Only arrived here a couple of days ago."

He watched the interaction between her and the girl.

He furrowed his brow. The guy seemed kinda... off.

And he seemed to make the girl uneasy, which was understandable.

"You're came from New York? My friend Brooke whose also here came here from New York. I came here from Tree Hill, North Carolina."

Castiel turned his head to look at the boy. He frowned a little.

"The population of New York City is eight million three hundred and ten thousand, nine hundred and eight seven.
It is possible, but statistically unlikely, this girl knows your friend though, in the scale of the universe, your search for common ground has been partially successful."

In truth Castiel would prefer the boy left. It was not safe for a human to build any sort of relationship with a demon, even one based on so flimsy a flimsy premise, but he was unwilling to insist. Humans had free will. He could warn the boy but not order him.

He needed room to determine more of her nature. He waited for her answer to his previous question.

Needy perked a brow at the blonde guy. Either he was a really bad listener or he was terrible at geography. "I was in Buffalo, New York. It's a good four hundred miles away from New York City. But hey, at least you got the right state. There's a good chance you and your friend are from a completely different version of Earth, from what I've head here."

And with a sigh, she turned back to the weird Mr. Trench Coat. "Castiel, right. Whatever. I'm from New Jersey. Devil's Kettle, actually, but I doubt you've ever heard of it. It's a small town." Okay, so he may have heard of it if he was a scientist or something, with the weird whirlpool they had there, but she kinda doubted this guy was one of them.

Lucas was a little stunned by the girl. He really didn't need this.

"Okay, right. Fun as this has been and all, I'm gonna leave you guys to it," he said, stepping past them and continuing on his walk.

Castiel watched the boy go. He may have just saved his own life or, at least, made it a heck of a lot less weird.

He turned his attention back to the girl.
"I am aware of your home," he said, his tone dark with meaning.
Such an event was not going to escape Heaven's attention. His gaze was intense as he pinned her eyes with his.

"Which one are you?" he asked, his voice forceful, direct.

Needy perked a brow as she watched the first guy take off. Whatever, it wasn't like she knew him or anything. But then she turned back to the other. He'd heard of Devil's Kettle? Oh, right. He probably saw what happened on the news or something. And if he was asking who she was, he probably heard about the murder. But hey, that meant he was probably from her world after all.

"I'm the crazy one," she said, widening his eyes at him a little as she spoke. But she couldn't help chuckling softly before shaking her head. "I'm not actually crazy, but the judge didn't agree with me."

"I mean your name," Castiel said, his voice challenging but free of irritation.

"You are not Ruby or Meg. Which one are you? Why do you pretend you do not know what I am?"

He paused expectantly. There was something odd about this situation. There was definitely demonic power only Castiel was not sure if it came with an actual demon. She did not appear to him as the other demons did but the force that surrounded her pressed on his grace the same way.
He frowned as he waited for her answer.

"I'm Needy," she said, a confused look on her face. "And sorry, I don't know anyone named Ruby or Meg. And there was no one involved with my case with those names either, so how is it you know me?"

Huh. Maybe there was someone else at the asylum at those names. They could have gotten mixed up if, for some weird reason, the news decided to do a report on how the murderess was a kicker. But that would just be stupid.

"And how the hell should I know what you are? You just look like a weird guy in a trench coat to me." Needy said simply, crossing her arms over her chest as she looked up at him.

[ooc: omg, that took long enough to get right.]

Castiel's frown deepened. "You cannot see the mark of Heaven on me?" This was curious. Any demon, even one of the lowest rank, should be able to identify an angel on sight.

She could be lying but Castiel did not think so. Her surprise seemed genuine.

Still, he had been fooled by demons before, to an extent he did not wish to repeat.

"But you have been marked by a demon's touch." He paused.
"Were you aware?" he added in an attempt to be reassuring. "I can assist you if this is involuntary."

"The mark of what?" Okay, yeah. Definitely weird. Needy looked skeptical as she looked him over again.

But if she was honest with herself, it couldn't be that far off. After all, a demon had possessed her best friend, then bitten her. She knew about that end of the spectrum first hand. Why couldn't beings from the other end of the spectrum exist too? 'Because if that end existed then why did all the bad shit happen to us?' she thought to herself.

And then he was mentioning demons and asking if she was aware there was something different about her. Needy's hand automatically went up to cover the bite on her neck that was hidden by her hoodie. She healed super fast, Wolverine fast, actually, but that was the one thing that was healing slower than anything else she'd had happen to her in her life. "Okay, I don't know how you knew about that part, but yeah. I know. I got bit, I killed it."

Castiel's face was often still, usually calm, contained. But now, at this moment, those who knew him might say it looked like it belonged to another.
His eyebrow's raised, his jaw dropped and wavered a little. His eyes stood wide open and then narrowed and opened wide again.
Just as quickly as his surprise has come it faded as his features settled. The bafflement stayed?

Could the girl have been a hunter? The victim of a metaphysical accident? All he could do was ask more questions and hope something she gave him would give him a clue.

His voice was a little breathless as he said "A demon bit you? And you... how did you kill it?" It was not discrete or careful a question but it was an essential one.

Well that was not the sort of reaction that Needy was used to when she said demon. But, hey. Whatever. At least he didn't seem to be joining the crazy bandwagon everyone else jumped onto so easily.

"I did what you're supposed to do," she started, then sighed. "Stabbed it, her, it, whatever, in the heart. I did my research."

And in her world, that was how you killed a demon. And Jennifer slash the demon would still be dead if it wasn't for however they showed up in Colligo. But, then again, Needy would probably be on her way back to the asylum, or death row, if it wasn't this place, so it wasn't all bad.

Not that she couldn't have just broken out again.

"You seem way more accepting of the whole demon thing than anyone else I've talked to. Not here, I mean. The people back home."

"Where did you get a Sacred Blade?" he asked, seriously. "Did you go to Jerusalem?" His gaze was very intense now, he stood close to her.

"How did you get close enough to the demon to impale it? But it did not work, did it, as it infested your body. If so, how are you talking to me? Is the demon letting you speak?"

Castiel's questions came in a rush now. This girl may have been in serious danger. He could not afford to be gentle.

"I do not accept demons, I send them back to Hell where they belong. I am Castiel, an angel of the Lord," He should not have needed to say that to a demon-possessed girl but it did not hurt to in case the host needed reassurance, "and I will protect you."

"Okay, woah," Needy said, taking a step back from him as she put her hands in front of her, a gesture that could either mean 'slow down' or 'stop right there.

"I've already been here a week, but even I've already found out that different worlds work differently. I didn't need a sacred blade, I didn't have to go to Jerusalem, and I don't have a demon in me." She said all of this very matter of factly, watching him carefully. "Where I'm from you just have to stab a demon in the heart. Bad thing is that it kills the person, too, but there's no way of knowing if she would have even been alive any more anyway, considering the way it got her in the first place consisted of being stabbed repeatedly and left for dead. And I got close because she used to be my best friend. She let me get close. And I have some of her powers, but I'm not a demon."

Castiel paused. The war had narrowed his focus rather too much he was beginning to realise. He was so used to fighting one very specific kind of fight, was used to an enemy that worked a certain way. He did not consider this may have been normal for her world.

He mentally berated himself, but not too harshly. He was made for a specific purpose, not for this place. Everything else had to be learnt and it was slow, his education patchy.

He calmed at her words, at her manner. He forced himself to listen to her words and adjust his thinking.
He stopped, all his anger and worry faded.
"I am sorry you lost your friend," he said sincerely.
"I cannot imagine it would be an easy thing to have to do." Castiel had been ordered to kill a friend, after all. He knew exactly how that had felt. Only he was lucky. She had escaped him. He was glad for it.

"Your powers are what I sensed," his voice was calm, reasonable. "They origin. It is not like anything I have heard of or experienced but I accept you are not a demon." He look her in the eyes. "I owe you an apology."

Needy went back to standing with her arms crossed once more and gave him a shrug. "Yeah, it was hard losing her. Harder being he one to have to kill her, but it was either that or let her kill more people." And even though Needy and Jennifer had been best friends since the sandbox, which Needy called "sandbox love", she couldn't just sit by and watch her best friend kill people.

"I wasn't exactly expecting to get them. Where I'm from demons are rare, and people who survive being bitten are even more rare. The demon usually just kills them and eats them. But anyway, yeah. Apology accepted and all that." She paused for a moment, holding the eye contact.

"You're seriously an angel?"

He nodded, again acknowledging her pain.

"Demons used to be rare in my world too," he said soberly. "That has changed recently. They kind I am accustomed to do not generally bite and they are hard to kill, except for the vampires. They are a low-level demon that can be killed my humans. They also bite to pass on their powers or to feed but they cannot transfer their powers and not their affliction."

He was accustomed to her next question. Had come to expect it.
"I am. I can provide proof if you wish."

"You know," Needy started, watching Castiel carefully. She made sure to wipe all traces of the hurt she still felt over what she did to Jennifer from her face. "Yeah. I think I'll take that proof."

After all, without proof he was just some weird ass guy that managed to know there was something different about her. Which, okay, that in itself was pretty weird. She hadn't come across anyone else that could tell she was more than your average bear, but that was beside the point.

The guy wasn't just saying he was different, he was saying he was a flat out angel. That was weird.

Castiel nodded He stood back a little, spread his hands and affected a concentrated expression. Lighting flashed though it was far too cold and cloudless for a thunder storm.

The wings stretched out from his shoulders, rose up before they stretched fully. They were black, mere shadows and they blinked out on a second. Once they were gone Castiel relaxed again, a little.

He looked at Needy, waiting to see if that was enough.
