Note- As I seam to be on a roll here is another chapter. As the chapter name suggests there are going to be wings. But I'm not going to go all wing!kink here. They are not overly sensitive or anything and are more like a set of extra arms for Kaida. My thinking is that they have always been there, she just hasn't known how to access them.
The Weapon
Chapter 37- Wings
When Faye heard the first scream she stopped the water and stepped out of the shower.
"Kaida? Was that you? Sparky?"
There was another scream and a crash, so Faye grabbed the towel and throwing it around her she hurried back to where she had left Kaida in the other room. She didn't know exactly what she had been expecting to see, but it wasn't this. The hunter was on her hands and knees, her t-shirt was ripped down her back and there were two large black wings twitching and flapping from where they were attatched on her back.
"Holy shit! Kaida are you alright!"
Faye moved closer but stopped before she reached her side. She had an overwhelming urge to reach out and touch the new limbs, but restrained herself because she didn't want to hurt her.
"Are there wings on my back?"
Faye nodded, but soon realised that she couldn't see her from where she was with her head hanging down between her arms.
"Yeah. Big ones. Big fucking black ones!"
Kaida looked up at the woman beside her before pushing back so that she was kneeling.
"That's what I thought. But I don't know. I kind of hoped I was imagining it."
Faye couldn't resist anymore and took another step forward with her hand out.
"Do they hurt?"
She asked and Kaida shook her head, moving one wing closer to meet Faye's hand half way pushing into it.
"It did, they ripped the skin on my back when they came through. But they themselves don't hurt. It's like having a couple more arms. It's odd."
The next few hours were spent with Kaida learning how to manouver her new appendages. Faye had eventually gone to get changed and then went to get them some lunch. She knew the hunter well and knew that the first thing she would need when she recovered from her shock would be something to eat.
Kaida was feeling calmer than she thought she should be given the circumstances. But that was probably a good thing. Lunch helped of course as it always did, but she found sitting a bit awkward until she figured out how to pull the limbs back into her body. Her shirt had to be binned, but she found a tank top in her duffle bag and put that on instead. Then she practiced some more. Soon the sun was setting and the two women were sitting side by side watching the tv.
"Well I think it's safe to say you found something."
Kaida laughed as she thought over everything that she had learned over the last few days. There really was no denying it now, she just didn't know what to do with the information that she had.
"Yeah, but there is still so much that we don't know. I want to have another look in the library. I have to say I wasn't expecting you to sprout wings all of a sudden. You should probably stay here for a bit. We don't know how this will effect your hunting."
Kaida nodded. She didn't exactly think that this new development would be detrimental to her on a hunt, but she found herself searching for excuses to stick around. As much as she wanted to keep things professional with Faye, she just couldn't. That had all gone out of the window as soon as she had passed out in the library.
"Yeah, I think that's..."
She stopped talking when she saw the police sketch artist picture on the screen. It was a face that she knew very well.
"Crap!"
She exclaimed grabbing her phone. Faye didn't ask what was wrong. She didn't have to. Instead she turned down the tv so that Kaida could call her brothers.
Sam took the phone out of his pocket and winced when he saw the call ID.
"Hello?"
He had been hoping that it would be Faye again, but no such luck.
"Sam. Why the fuck am I looking at Dean's face all over the news?!"
Sam winced again before answering.
"It's a long story K. And why the hell are you yelling at me. I'm not the one wanted by the police."
Dean was standing next to him so Sam shoved the phone at him.
"Here talk to your sister."
It had been a crappy day so far and the last thing he needed was to have to explain the situation to Kaida. The thing had stolen Dean's face, let Dean explain.
"Hey Kaida, what's up?"
Kaida rolled her eyes as she heard her eldest brother's voice.
"What the hell is going on?"
Faye turned the television off completely when the news report ended and just watched the hunter as she talked to her brothers. So much for Kaida sticking around for a few days. That was the way it had always been. The job came first, and that went double when her brothers were in any kind of trouble. She knew what was going to happen as soon as she hung up the phone. She knew from the tone of her voice, from the frantically changes in temperature around them, and from the look on her face. What she didn't expect however was the crack of Kaida's new wings snapping out from her back as she flipped her phone closed.
Kaida herself didn't seem to notice as she started packing up her bags as quickly as possible.
"So, you're leaving."
Faye didn't know what to do with herself now. She didn't know where she stood. Before she hadn't been too worried when their time had been cut short for a hunt, because she knew that they would have more time. Now though she didn't know what would happen. They had finally started to getmore comfortable with each other again, and she was needed.
Kaida stopped and looked over at Faye as if she could here her thoughts. Then she looked back at her bag and flapped her wings thoughtfully.
"Do you think it would be alright if I left this stuff here."
The confusion on her face was obvious so the hunter elaborated.
"The drive would take over 6 hours if I even had the car, which they still won't let me drive by the way. It probably wouldn't be the best idea to steal a car from your campus and a bus would take too long. I was planning to see how much these baby's can take."
She flapped her wings back and forward again, but Faye frowned.
"Are you sure that is a good idea. You haven't even tried to fly yet. I can drive you."
Kaida shook her head.
"No, I couldn't ask you to do that. Besides we still have some research to do. This way you can have another look in the library and as soon as I'm done clearing up the shapeshifter mess the boys are in."
Faye just stared for a moment taking it all in.
"Alright. But you call me if you get stuck or crash-land or something."
Smiling Kaida nodded before zipping the bag closed and handing it to Faye.
"I'll be back as soon as I can."
Then she threw caution to the wind, kissed Faye goodbye and she was gone quicker than either thought she could move on her new wings.
