As Bobby entered he noticed how tense everything was and with a sigh, he motioned for Homestuck and Dean to follow him into the kitchen. He told Dean to get cloths and for Homestuck to fill the cloths with ice. Bobby went to a drawer and retrieved a tube of salve to help with the swelling. He turned and went back to the others.

Dean and Homestuck looked at each other as they both made the make-shift ice packs.

"Sorry about him." Homestuck said as they worked. "He's not at his best right now, but that doesn't really excuse things does it?"

Dean grunted, still obviously pissed off.

Homestuck sighed before continuing, "Look I know what he did was shitty, but you have to imagine a constant panic," not having any medication for anxiety , "matched with no way home and hearing and seeing extra things that you can't explain. Add on four plus days of not sleeping and fatigue, and you get a little bit of imbalance." He grabbed his ice pack before turning and walking away, leaving Dean alone in the kitchen.


The few minutes Dean had alone were spent thinking about what Homestuck and Castiel had said. What does Cas mean connected? he thought as he finished making Sam's ice pack, when that was done he put the ice back in the freezer and left to go join the other. He put the thought of figuring out Cas's fucking riddles to the back of his mind as he entered the other room, too preoccupied with helping his brother.


Sam didn't blame Supernatural for what he'd done. Sure he was angry at being used as a punching bag. If the situation was reversed I'd do the same, he thought to himself as he looked out one of the windows. It was late, so all he ended up doing was looking into pitch black.

As Homestuck entered he nodded at Sam before going to Supernatural's side and holding the ice pack to his face. Sam noticed with a bit of a start that Supernatural's face was swollen, and it looked like he had been punched. Hard. That can't be right. I didn't hit him, and he certainly didn't hit himself. What's going on?

In the middle of his thinking he didn't see Dean come in and wasn't aware of his presence until he sat down next to him and handed him another ice pack; which he pressed to his face, he sighed in relief as it eased the throbbing pain. Kid's a good shot, I'll give him that.

He saw Supernatural briefly look up but as he opened his mouth to reassure the younger one that everything was alright but the teen lowered his gaze. Sam caught the look of utter shame that he wore.

He looked at Dean, noticing that he had seen it to. Dean shook his head in a 'we'll talk to him later' kind of way and Sam nodded.


Supernatural had briefly looked up to see if Sam was alright, and maybe to apologize, but he saw Sam looking at him and he quickly looked down. He was unable to make himself see the damage he had caused to someone he cared for, it was bad enough that he could feel it.

Supernatural refused to look at anyone, too ashamed of his behaviour. His wings which had been standing up until this incident were down and almost touching the couch he was sat on. What the hell is wrong with me! I can't even control my temper, this is horrible. I hate it! he took a shaky breath and tightly closed his eyes, trying to get a hold of his emotions.

"You going to tell us what happened?" Bobby said in a soft tone. Supernatural just shrugged and studied the floor.

"Winnie, we gotta tell them." Homestuck was currently holding ice to Supernatural's cheek, as it was apparent that the other fandom wasn't even going to try and heal himself or even do anything to relieve his pain. Supernatural didn't even respond this time. "Fine. I'll do it, you see where we're from sleeping doesn't always mean dreams."

The hunters just looked at him in shock.

"We have this place that we can all go meet up when we're asleep regardless of time and space. it's hard to explain exactly but…." He trailed off, "I'm not sure how to explain it to you….Our friend once said Derse and Prospit -that's what the places are called- are like space stations and we're like little space ships. I like to think of them as the sun and we're all just little planets," Sam's mouth was slightly open, and Bobby's eyes were narrowed, "you know, because the light from the sun…. reaches…. all the…. planets…?" His voice got higher as it became apparent that he wasn't being clear enough. Damn these fucking nerves. He cleared his throat. "You know what Winnie can explain it, he'll know how to put it into term you'll understand. I need some air."

With that he put the ice pack down and walked out the door, leaving the hunters in silence. Supernatural only waited for a few seconds before picking up the ice pack and handing it to Sam before following Homestuck outside.


The two fandoms decided not to walk together, Homestuck chose to lay down on the roof and look at the stars. Supernatural was one to walk when he needed to think, so he decided to go around the junkyard.

While on the roof Homestuck mentally hit himself for not thinking of Prospit and Derse in the first place. I'll have to go there after everything calms down.

His thoughts soon drifted to his own family. Sleuth isn't going to let me live this down. I can hear him now 'Oh Stuckle, for someone whose series focuses on portals and timelines so much, you'd think you'd be more knowledgeable. Maybe if you joined your brother and I for class so you can learn from your elders instead of skipping to draw then this could've been avoided.' And I'd flip him off and our bro would tell us both to 'knock it off this is a family dinner'. Homestuck snorted, smiling to himself.

What if I never see them again? His smile wavered, his lip trembling as he felt tears fall down his face. He sniffled loudly, and used the back of his hand to wipe the snort that had starting running. He shook his head with bitter laugh. I'm too tired for this shit. He continued to let himself cry and think about all the possibilities both good, and bad.

Just as Homestucks beginning to feel better after a solid hour of crying, he catches an awful smell. It smells like sulfur. Sulfur and death. He bolts upright rubbing his eyes, and freezes when he hears a scream.

Winnie! He notices smoke descend on the area where the scream came from. "Supernatural!"
