Notes: to the prompt of POV of that girl Dean saved in "Houses of the Holy," bonus points of she sees his face in the news.
Maggie's little brother Dan is obsessed with the FBI's most wanted list, keeping up to date, checking the website every week. He's been that way since he was fifteen, and she's not entirely sure where she went wrong. She's tried telling him he's putting a black mark on his soul, but he doesn't care.
Two nights after Rich slapped her and tried taking more than she was willing to give him, two nights after that angel-faced hero saved her, Dan stops by her apartment, bringing supper and childhood pictures. They visit for awhile—her leaving out, again, what nearly happened two nights ago—and then she has to go to the bathroom.
"Hey, can I use the computer?" he calls when she's down the hall.
"Sure!" she hollers back.
Dan leaves the site up when he goes, and she gives it a glance before she closes it—and then stops, frozen in shock.
There he is, her angel-faced hero, wanted for murder and rape and theft and assault and, of all things, grave-desecration.
There he is, her angel-faced hero, not the man she'd thought at all.
There he is, her angel-faced hero, and she doesn't know what to think anymore.
