[LN] Dean can have firearms, but not nice things.

The motel that Dean went to sleep in was the same one he woke up in, until he walked outside.

For one thing, he'd gone to sleep at night, and knew he'd been asleep at least a full 8 hours. In defiance of this, the stars were still twinkling. This was doubly odd, because the motel he'd gone to sleep in had been on the outskirts of Chicago, under too much light pollution for any stars at all, but this motel was so far out of any town that the road leading up to it was unpaved.

"What the hell?"

Someone was playing a piss-poor game on him, and nobody ever played games on Dean Winchester for harmless fun. He reached into his coat for a weapon, and found a fully loaded sig sauer right where he'd . . . not actually put it the night before.

And yet there it was in his shoulder holster. Huh. Had he seriously slept with a loaded gun? It wouldn't be the first time, but seriously, how had he forgotten that the night before?

There was no real time to look this gift horse in the mouth, so Dean kept the muzzle of the firearm to the ground as he looked around for a trace of movement, any clue as to what he was not currently doing adjacent to a major city.

[LN] Behold the Wonder

[amazing_amazon]

 She had been here...and then she'd been taken away in a flash of gold. Where she'd gone, what had happened to her, Diana couldn't say for certain. There had been permutations. Things about her she hadn't recognized. 

It was as though the universe had kept on trying to find a place for her. A reason for her to exist that made sense. 

It had kept on failing.

But she was back.

The familiar red, gold, and star-spangled blue. The lasso, glowing with warmth by her side. 

A familiar smile spread across her cheeks as she stood outside of Santa's workshop, the cold of the evening not having much of an effect on her at all.

The children had summoned her again.

She lifted herself up into the air, slowly turning around in a circle, wondering who else had been summoned. Was it the same group? Others? 

Hera, please let this time be smoother sailing.

She'd been home.

Molly had been home, she knew that much, but for almost no time at all - enough to wake up from her nap and recognize that she was in the Leapfrog, Victor and Chase arguing about something up front and Karolina laughing at them. It was a little stuffy and the seat vibrated a little and there was that slight tug at her stomach as they Leapfrogged homewards--

And then she was at the North Pole, dumped unceremoniously onto a pile of teddy bears, to the surprise of one of the Yetis. She blinked at him for a moment, then scrambled out of the pile and took off running. The elves that saw her immediately started trying to follow her, excited to have their fellow toy-tester back, and it was that... rather unique tableau that she presented to anyone who happened to be watching as she raced upstairs looking for people she recognized.

"NICOOOOOOO!"
