A/N: I woke up with a nighttime visitor. Lucky me had two cats who wanted to 'help' so I couldn't use Dean's method. I figured Dean wouldn't have a tennis racket and box at his disposal, though. There was excitement (cats) and general terror (me). I triumphed.


Sam went from unconscious to alert in 1.7 seconds. Hunter's instinct.

Dean was already on his feet.

"Dean?"

"Bat."

"What?"

"There's a bat."

"What?" Sam ducked, a furry body skimming his head. "Oh."

They both gaped for a second as the manic creature completed another loop.

Sam kept a hand over his hair. "What do we do?"

Dean flinched, pressed himself against the wall. "Burn it?"

"What?"

"Just a thought."

Sam watched Dean steel himself before launching across the room, wrenching open the door. "Here, batty batty."

The bat swooped out.

"I can't believe that worked."

"I've got skills, man."
