Jo hadn't done very well when Sam had left, but at least she'd still had Dean and Castiel. Now, they were gone. The only people she had from her world were John and Mary and they barely knew her. She was broken-hearted that she had lost Sam and had tried so very hard to keep herself under control. She buried her grief deeply and then did her best to continue on in some form of functioning human being. When she realized Dean and Castiel had been sent to wherever, it had been a damn sight harder to keep herself going. She'd hid in the house she'd shared with Sam and cleaned and did maintenance work on her guns.

Yeah, she was one more person that would beat people bloody if they tried to take her guns away from her. Or shoot them. She wasn't against that in her mind right now.

When she couldn't stand the silence or the aloneness any longer, Jo loaded a couple of her guns and her usual knives, and headed out to the practice space she and Sam had set up when they'd been here a few weeks. She would take out some of her fear and anger out on the targets and if she shed tears of grief, well, at least no one would be the wiser when she returned to the house.

She got to the spot and after some minor clearing of leaves and branches from the targets, Jo stepped back and then unloaded most of her gear. She had a strategy. Shoot, throw knife. Shoot, throw knife. Shoot, throw knife. Retrieve knives, start over again.

It was something she could focus on without having any kind of emotional attachment and therefore she could get some peace from her memories and her grief,

John for his part wanted to get to know Jo, she was important to his boys. Wow was still hard to imagine, seeing as he just proposed to Mary. But if they were his boys then they damn well were family. With Sam leaving he figured Jo could use some company. He hoped she'd want it anyway. He smiled walking up to her, hands in his pockets (so much like Dean he'd apologie for it).

"Hey, you doing okay?"

Jo had been aware that someone was approaching, but she didn't release the grip on her gun until she recognized who it was. She gave him a shaky smile. Did he know how much he reminded her of both of his sons?

"I miss them, John," she said honestly. If she couldn't be honest with a Winchester, then who could she be honest with. "I miss Dean and Sam and Castiel." She swallowed. "I miss my mom."

	John was sympathetic with her, he knew she missed them. He did as well, though she did know them a lot better than he did. He placed a hand on her back soothingly offering a kind smile. "I know you do Jo. I wish I could help with that but you don't know me from Adam." Ha, funny he'd end up with a son named Adam someday too. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Knowing you're here, helps," she reassured him. "I just... I want them to come back. I want Dean to be back. I know what they're going through in their world and it kills me that I can't help." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Maybe they'll come back. This place is kind of strange in that way." John could only offer her comfort, the best he could anyway. (Reply to this) (Parent)
