1. basic gun safety (INCLUDING MENTAL HEALTH AND STABILITY PROTOCOL)

2. respect for and knowledge of What Guns Are

3. how to clean/repair/do basic maintenance and checks on that thing. (or is it going to rot in your closet somewhere when it inevitably breaks or rusts or you can't figure out how to fix or even identify what's happening with it)

4. HOW TO TALK ABOUT GUNS ON THE INTERNET WITHOUT LOOKING LIKE AN OP????

Captain N - Chapter 6: Town Defense

Beneath a tall, shady tree just outside New Leaf Town, Captain N was enjoying his apple alongside Zelda, Falco, Pit and Simon. His body was still sore from the training session, so he was making sure to soak in all the rest he could get. The Zapper was once again comfortably yet carefully stored in his right pocket. The longer it spent in there, the more Captain N wished he had a holster for it. Shooting himself in the leg would certainly be unflattering, to say the least. Zelda seemed to be meditating, sitting upright with her eyes closed and breathing in and out in a steady pace. Simon and Falco were casually chatting, and Pit was on lookout, perched on top of the tree everyone was currently under. But despite the peaceful, tranquil situation he's currently in, Captain N felt uneasy. The warm sunlight and being surrounded by his allies did little to assuage the invisible weight on his shoulders. He knew he did little to impress during his first training session, and he knew the enemies he would encounter in the future wouldn't be so forgiving as to admit defeat after being struck once. Even disregarding the fact that he's destined to engage in a life-or-death battle against three kings with far more experience and resources than he could hope to attain, and that this battle determines the fate of countless innocents across planet Yamajiro. It won't be so easy along the way. He knew there would be smaller battles on the way. Much like the encounter before arriving at New Leaf Town. Captain N carefully drew the Zapper from his pocket and analyzed it carefully. The handle, barrel and sights were orange, with a gray base connecting the three. It's also longer than any pistol he's ever seen before. From the sights to the end of the barrel, it was almost as long as Captain N's forearm.  It also felt strange to wield an actual firearm that didn't require ammunition. Careful not to have any of his fingers near the trigger as he looked down the barrel, all Captain N could see was a lens. Clutching the Zapper filled Captain N with a new confidence. One blast from this weapon was enough to neutralize the Kremling that charged at him yesterday. The first confrontation he ever got into, he won. He didn't get a good look at Falco's blaster in the midst of battle, but maybe he'll show him if he asks nicely.

"Alright, break's over, time to get back to training." Simon spoke up. Captain N stood up, ready to keep going. "So, what now?" He asked, storing the Zapper back in his pocket and looking to Simon. "You're gonna need to learn how to use that weapon properly, so your accuracy will be tested." Simon informed him, getting the attention of both Pit and Zelda, walking over to join the group. "And since I'm the only one here who knows how to use those things, I'll be training you too." Falco spoke up, walking beside Simon. Zelda immediately could smell something rotten, and spoke up. "Do you plan on ACTUALLY training him, or are you going to cause trouble?" Zelda asked Falco, fearing she already knew the answer. "Relax, Princess. I'd rather make sure this planet has a future than get on your nerves." Falco answered, not entirely convincing Zelda. "Is that so? Your previous behavior could have persuaded me otherwise." Zelda shot back. Before Falco could make another witty retort, Captain N waved his arms to distract from the conversation. "Guys, this isn't necessary. You think you can save your bickering until after training?" Captain N asked Falco, making him roll his eyes. "Yeah, whatever, let's just get to work." Falco waved off. Pit sighed in relief, grateful that another argument was avoided. Simon had walked a bit farther away, having set up a sort of firing range of apples atop a fallen log. "Back away from the log until I tell you to stop." Simon ordered. With great care in each step, Captain N stepped backwards, farther and farther away from the log until he heard Simon firmly say "Stop". Drawing the Zapper, Captain N took in the distance from the log. About one hundred feet away. Difficult, but doable. Falco walked behind Captain N, analyzing his form. He kicked Captain N's legs farther apart, stating "Your stance could be better.". Falco's metal legs hurt Captain N probably more than intended, but it's not worth complaining about. "Fire when ready." Simon ordered, stepping away from the range.

Steadying his breathing, shutting Falco out of his mind and focusing his eye down the sights, Captain N pulled the trigger, destroying one of the apples with a flash of light. Letting out a small laugh of satisfaction, Captain N refocused on the other apples, and a few flashes of light later, all the fruits were obliterated. Falco nodded approvingly, Zelda offered polite applause and Pit pumped his fist in the air. Simon produced some more apples, but didn't place them on the log. "Your targets will rarely be standing still, so you will need to learn how to hit moving targets." Simon firmly stated, readying his arm to toss one in the air. Captain N quickly got back into the proper stance before Falco could correct him and readied himself to fire again. Simon drew his arm back and tossed one of the apples high in the air. Captain N tried to follow its trail, but how small the apple is wasn't helped by the fact that the sun was shining right in his eye. He focused himself, aimed where he thought the apple would fall, and pulled the trigger. This time, the apple fell to the ground, completely untouched. Groaning in dissatisfaction, Captain N tried to not let it get to him and readied himself for his second attempt. Simon tossed another apple in the air, Captain N aimed, fired, and missed once more. He could hear Falco groan in disapproval right next to him, but he paid him no mind. Simon tossed another apple into the air in a different direction, but Captain N missed again. Falco, fed up with Captain N's lack of accuracy, grabbed his arm and aimed the Zapper for Captain N. "Follow the apple with the Zapper." Falco instructed, nodding at Simon to toss another one. Once the fourth apple was in the air, Falco guided Captain N to follow the apple, and this time he actually managed to hit the apple after pulling the trigger. "You think you can handle that?" Falco asked semi-sarcastically. "Pay him no mind, he's only trying to elicit an emotional response." Zelda communicated to Captain N telepathically. Pit continued his lookout, paying no mind to the training session.

"Yeah, I got it." Captain N assured Falco. Falco waved at Simon to toss another apple. With a strong arm, once more was an apple hurled in the air. Captain N followed the apple with the sights, pulled the trigger, but once again missed. "Oh, come on!" Falco groaned exasperatedly. He grabbed Captain N's arm again, this time more forcefully. "Follow the apple. With the Zapper." Falco reminded him. Captain N was growing more irritated at Falco, but managed to suppress this emotion. Simon tossed yet another apple into the air, but this time Falco controlled Captain N's aim and pulled the trigger himself, hitting the apple. "Tread carefully, Lombardi." Zelda spoke up, her annoyance noticeable. "Oh, please! He's not gonna get better at shooting things if he's not pushed to!" Falco defended, snapping around to face her. It struck Captain N as surprising that Falco would speak to someone of royalty with such a hostile attitude, but he's been seeing previously impossible things made possible left and right lately. "You're only making yourself an enemy of him AND me!" Zelda shot back, stepping closer. Simon didn't intervene, observing what could happen from here. Pit was too far away to tell what was going on, still on lookout. Captain N tried to intervene again, but to little avail. "Simon, throw another!" Falco shouted to Simon. With another one in the air, Captain N tried to steady his breathing and stance as best he could, but he was still slightly rattled, and missed again. Falco was about to express his displeasure, but Zelda was quicker. "Perhaps he would perform better if he wasn't under such pressure!" Zelda suggested. "Oh yeah, real scenarios will be COMPLETELY free of pressure, right?" Falco snarked back.

"But this is his opportunity to learn the basics and to later get used to being in stressful situations!"

"Don't you know the benefits of learning on the job?"

"Don't YOU know the value of patience?"

"Patience!? We've been waiting for Mister Miracle here to show up for a month, and you're telling me to be PATIENT?"

"Guys, come on, this isn't-" Captain N tried to intervene, but was cut off by Zelda.

"I understand, Falco, but-"

"Do you? Do you really understand, YOUR MAJESTY?" Falco sneered.

Before the argument could continue, Pit suddenly shot back to the group, a worried expression painted across his face.

"Guys, we've got trouble." He said, ushering everyone to follow him. Pit guided Simon, Falco, Captain N and Zelda back to the entrance of New Leaf Town, where a large deployment of Kremlings could be seen approaching in the distance. Captain N tried to count the number of Kremlings, but this proved fruitless. Easily at least thirty of them, all wielding either clubs or pistols like the Kremlings yesterday. Captain N turned to the rest of the group, slightly nervous. "What should we do?" He asked them. "We should get the townspeople to safety first." Simon stated firmly, undeterred by the incoming horde. "Captain N and I will ensure they all get to safety, you three get ready for combat!" Zelda instructed, leading Captain N back to the town square. Not wanting to waste any time, the two ran through the now busier town, turning the heads of many townspeople. "Get inside! Get to safety, quick!" Captain N yelled, ushering everyone indoors. Not fully understanding what the panic was, the townspeople trusted Captain N had their best interest in mind, and scurried indoors. Arriving at the center of town, Zelda and Captain N found Isabelle standing by the hotel, with the mayor nowhere to be seen once again. "Hello again, Captain, Princess! Is something wrong?" Isabelle asked the two, noticing their concerned state. "A deployment of King K. Rool's forces are approaching this town, we fear they're going to attack with more intense force." Zelda informed her, making Isabelle even more worried. "Oh dear, what do we do?" Isabelle nervously asked. "Just make sure everyone is safe inside, we'll try to handle the Kremlings." Captain N answered. Isabelle quickly nodded and ran off, persuading as many people as she could to get to safety. The small, anthropomorphic townsfolk were quickly persuaded to get inside, making sure to lock the door behind them. In no time at all, New Leaf Town was surprisingly empty. It felt strangely eerie to Captain N, a once vibrant town now desolate. "We should rejoin the three." Zelda noted, which elicited a nod of agreement from Captain N. Following her back the route they came, the two found that Falco, Simon and Pit had set up a quasi-barricade right at the town's entrance, the mob of Kremlings even closer now. Crouching behind the barricade the group collaborated on their plan of action.

"What're we gonna do?" Captain N asked any of the three. "Simon and I are gonna face them head-on. You, Falco and Princess Zelda should stay back here to get them from far away." Pit answered. "Are you sure that's such a good idea? Just you and Simon?" Zelda asked Pit. "We can handle ourselves! Right, Simon?" Pit assured, nudging Simon partially. Nodding in agreement, Simon added "I've been in worse situations before, this should be no challenge." "Plus this would be a good time for you to work on that aim of yours, Cap." Falco added, earning a slight frown from Captain N. Zelda opened her mouth to scold Falco for instigating once more, but stopped herself, there being more at stake. "So... when do we start?" Captain N asked Simon. "That depends. Are you ready?" Simon asked in response. "Uh... yeah." Captain N responded, somewhat nervously. "And you, Princess?" Simon asked Zelda. "Yes, I'm ready." She answered, more confidently. "Well then, we start now!" Pit declared, jumping out from the barricade and soaring up into the air, towards the mob. Simon followed suit, drawing his whip and running to confront the horde of Kremlings. Captain N immediately wanted to stop them and warn them to be more careful, but it was too late. Falco kneeled behind the barricade, drawing his blaster and aiming towards the mob. Zelda waved her hands about and conjured a yellow wall of magic energy, protecting herself and the other two who stayed behind. Captain N retrieved his Zapper from his pocket, carefully aiming at the Kremlings. Fortunately, the mob was moving slower, making them easier to aim at than an apple soaring through the air.

The Kremling's response was immediate, forming into a similar structure seen yesterday. With the gunners in the back and the clubbers up front, they stood firm, ready to confront the two. Swooping down, Pit broke his bow into two swords, charging at two of the clubbers. Simon joined him, lashing his whip out at a nearby Kremling. The expertise of Pit and Simon was countered by the sheer number of Kremlings who opposed them. Because of this, the two couldn't escape being attacked from all ends. Simon lashed his whip out and incapacitated a clubber, but was shot in the knee by a gunner. Pit was grabbed by his wings by two Kremlings and pulled into a sucker punch right in the face. Just then, one of the Kremlings who was holding down Pit was hit by a bold from Falco's blaster, incapacitating him. This gave Pit the opening he needed, as he shot directly into the air, reformed his bow and formed an arrow. Simon was also freed by another shot from Falco hitting another Kremling. Simon rolled out from under the mob that had formed around him, and with enough space between them, used his whip to knock out two more of the Kremlings.

Back at the barricade, Captain N was still struggling with his aim while Falco had near perfect accuracy in placing blaster shots and Zelda maintained the shield that protected the three. The apparent ease of their slow, clustered movement disappeared when Captain N tried to accurately hit one of the Kremlings in particular who was troubling Simon. Not only were they much farther away from the apples he trained with, there was the added difficulty of making sure to not accidentally hit Simon or Pit. Falco noticed this, but could only roll his eyes in annoyance. Simon backed up as much as he could, but the horde approached just as fast as he retreated. Even the gunner Kremlings made tough work for Pit, who managed to hit him despite Pit's best efforts to dodge. The mounting pain from getting hit again and again made it harder for Pit to stay in the air as he shot arrows at the Kremlings. Eventually, Pit drifted back down to the ground, farther away from the invaders. The horde drew closer still, only a few of their number having been lost. The gunners noticed Zelda's shield protecting her, Falco and Captain N, and immediately concentrated fire on it. Zelda could manage to hold the shield up, but the more the gunners fired on it, the more the shield weakened. Captain N knew it wasn't going to protect them much longer, and made a decision. Captain N took a moment, closed his eyes, took in a deep breath, drew his Zapper, stood up and boldly stated "Cover me, Falco."

Before Falco or Zelda could stop him, Captain N jumped out from the barricade and ran to aid Simon and Pit. The gunner Kremlings immediately noticed him approach, and some focused their fire on him. Adrenaline pumping, Captain N dash side to side, avoiding their fire. But the closer he drew to them, the closer their shots were getting. Captain N jumped onto the ground, lying flat on his stomach as he aimed his Zapper at them. One by one, Captain N managed to pick off each of the Kremlings that were aiming at him, made easier by them standing still and being much closer. As he got up to keep running, one of the Kremlings suddenly popped out and aimed straight at Captain N. Right before Captain N could dive back into cover, the Kremling was quickly picked off by Falco, way back in the barricade. Pit made his way over to Captain N, turning his back to him. "Watch my back!" Pit ordered, which Captain N followed by getting his back right against Pit's. Both Pit and Captain N improved greatly, picking off the Kremlings with greater ease. One of the clubber Kremlings dove on top of Captain N, who managed to roll out of the way before firing his Zapper at him. Simon quickly joined Pit and Captain N, wordlessly getting in sync with them. The Kremlings formed a ring around the three, closing them in. Undeterred, Captain N fought on, nailing shots on one Kremling after another. He also noticed Zelda and Falco running to help them, firing shots while sprinting towards them. At this point, Captain N was much more exhausted, never having exerted himself this much in his life. Slowing down drastically, Captain N was saved by Zelda, who blasted one of the last Kremlings before he could strike him. But Captain N got hit in the back of the head by one of the clubbers, yelling out in pain as he fell to the ground. Zelda cast a shield around him as Falco joined the fray, getting back to back with Pit. Slowly getting up, Captain N was almost knocked down again by another Kremling, but managed to nail him with a shot from the Zapper.

"Everyone, duck!" Zelda yelled, and the four cooperated. Drawing her hands together, Zelda summoned a great amount of magic energy, and shot her hands apart, expelling it all in a large wave. The resulting wave knocked down the few Kremlings that remained were thrown to the ground, and with a few quick shots from Falco and Captain N, the horde was defeated. Simon checked one lying about to make sure it was defeated, and looked to the group. "We are triumphant this day!" Simon announced, earning a cheer from Pit. Captain N was too exhausted to offer more than a victorious fist pump, Falco smirked to himself and Zelda sighed in relief. Looking to New Leaf Town, Captain N felt grateful that the good townsfolk live to see another peaceful day.

Snow Angels

Dean woke up at ass o'clock and stumbled his way to the kitchen. Coffee. He desperately needed coffee.

With all the patience of a child, he bypassed the fancy coffeemaker Sam had purchased and grabbed some instant and a mug from the cabinet over the microwave. It was gross, but, dude, caffeine.

Cup of joe in hand, he popped a new filter in Sam's fancy gizmo and poured in some grounds from Cas's stash in the freezer. Setting it to drip, he shuffled up the stairs to the front door and hauled it open.

Fluffy white stuff toppled through the opening, landing at his feet. It wasn't an avalanche like in the animes he secretly enjoyed (Shut up, okay? So what if he watched shojo every now and then?), more like a foot or so of snow.

He dumped the remainder of his coffee into the snow on the outer stoop and scooped some of the fresh stuff into his empty mug. Excited now, he jogged down the stairs and ran down the hall toward the bedrooms.

Bursting through Sam's door, he upended the mug right on his brother's face. "Rise and shine, Sammy!"

Sam sputtered awake, jackknifing up from his prone position. "Wha-"

He wiped his hand over his face and pulled it back, shaking off the melting slush. Dean watched, waiting for it to click.

Glancing down at his lap, which was now a pool of semi-solid snow, Sam asked, "Did you dump snow on my face?"

Dean chuckled.

Realization flitting across Sam's face, he repeated, "You dumped snow on my face!"

Grinning, Dean turned to leave the room. "Sure did, bitch! Get your ass dressed. Coffee's brewing. I'mma go see if I can find Cas. We're having a snow day!"

He didn't wait for Sam's response, but he could feel the 'jerk' aimed at his retreating form.

Dean did a cursory check of the bunker, but his finely feathered friend was nowhere to be found. Making a pit stop at his room, he layered up for proper snow play, then followed the sounds of banging in the kitchen. He found Sam preparing a breakfast of scrambled eggs, bacon, toast, and fresh fruit.

"Bacon, Sam? Did I traumatize you?"

Bitch face firmly planted, Sam replied, "I know you. We're going to be out there forever. We'll need the protein. Did you find Cas?"

"No, I'm gonna try angel radio in a few minutes." He snagged a strip of bacon from the plate it was draining on. "Mmm, yummy pork."

Sam rolled his eyes, but the corners of his mouth were tilted in a smile. His brother prepped plates for them both and placed them on the table. Dean grabbed utensils and the roll of paper towels.

"You want orange juice or milk, Sammy?"

Sam opted for OJ, so Dean poured two glasses and sat down to eat. When they were done - Sam having stolen a piece of Dean's bacon, and Dean swiping a grape and strawberry from Sam's plate - Sam grabbed the dishes, and Dean sat back to pray.

"Red rover, red rover, can Castiel come over? If you can hear me, buddy, well-"

There was the signature fwup that heralded Castiel's appearance, along with a tension that was probably just in Dean's head. Or pants.

"I don't understand your red rover reference, Dean. Is it about Opportunity? I can assure you, she's in a far better place than-"

Dean interrupted, "I remember, Cas. But that’s not what meant. I’ll explain it to you later,” he promised. “It's a winter wonderland outside, and Sam and I are going to have a snow day. You want in?"

Cas did that head tilt thing Dean had grown so fond of. "What is a snow day?"

Dean's head whipped toward Sam, who had a look on his face that was morphing from disbelief to glee. Grinning, the brothers turned toward Cas, and Dean asked, "Do you want to build a snowman, Cas?"

.... :::: :::: ....

Bundled up in all the layers they could find, Sam and Dean joined Cas in the war room.

Dean was making a list on the note app on his phone. "We need supplies, Sammy."

Sam dropped a duffel on the table. "I'm way ahead of you, man."

Dean grinned and patted the pocket of his jacket. There was something special in there. "Awesome. C'mon, Cas, let's go outside and start your education."

Carefully trudging up the outside stairs, Dean led the trio to the edge of the woods. "Okay, Cas," Dean clapped his gloved hands together, "follow my lead."

Dean started rolling the ball that would be the base of his snowman, watching as Cas's pile of snow grew larger. He reached over and helped position Cas's hands, shaping the pile into something rounder.

"Yeah, like that. You just make that as big as you want it, alright, because we're going to put another one on top of it." He glanced over to find Sam already on his second stack. He pointed and Cas’s gaze followed. “Like that. Your goal is to create a base big enough to build on, then you’re going to add another until you’ve got a humanoid shape. Got it?”

“I understand, Dean.” He watched, eyebrow quirked, as Cas started molding a much larger shape, then shrugged it off. The angel would figure it out.

Dean finished his base, then got to work on the middle layer. He became absorbed, humming under his breath as he packed the snow. When he had the head done, he looked over to see Sam was accessorizing his creation and explaining it to Cas.

“Yeah, you decorate it however you want. Mine is a moose, so I need to find some branches to make into antlers.”

“Oh.” Cas was doing that adorable head tilt thing, and Dean held back a laugh when he continued, “Inias is a panda, so I don’t think he would have decorations?”

"Why do I know that name?" Dean asked.

Cas looked over with wounded eyes. "Inias is one of my fallen brethren. We were… very close."

A lightbulb went off in Dean's head. "Dark hair, blue eyes, 'bout your height? Showed up with that bitch Hester a while back?"

Cas nodded. "Yes."

"He seemed like a good guy."

The small smile gracing Cas's face was a vast improvement over the pain of just minutes before.

Sam paused in the middle of buttoning one of his flannels around his moose’s torso. “Hmm, what if we grab some of the paint from the basement and paint him?”

Dean went back to examining his snowman. “Okay, brother, let’s get you suited up, hmm?”

He found two decent arm sticks, ones with a bit of bulk to them, then quickly removed his jacket and a light blue flannel. Putting the leather back on, he wrapped the snowman in the cotton then pulled the first item out of his pocket. He walked to the back of it and attached two clips to the bottom of the shirt, then laid the straps over the shoulders. Back at his snowman’s front, he hooked the ends of the suspenders to the front of the shirt and stepped back to examine his work.

So far, so good.

Dean looked over to see Sam’s moose finished; he’d gently wrapped toilet paper around the sticks to make them look more like antlers, crafty bastard, and there was a cocktail glass with a paper umbrella and a pitchfork in one of its moose-y mitts. He felt a moment of grief, but it was quickly replaced with fond memories. Some of which Sam would never know about, thank you very much.

His brother was now helping Cas delicately apply paint to his snowpanda. It was looking pretty good. Dean rummaged through Sam’s bag, knowing there would be charcoal briquettes in there for eyes. He took two, then moved back to his sculpture.

Gingerly pushing the lumps of coal into place, he whispered in a hokey accent, “You been a bad boy, mon ami.” Then he pulled a treasured cap out of his pocket and situated it on top of his head. Almost done. “Don’t be mad. I know these aren’t yours, but you need teeth, ‘k?” He crammed a set of plastic vampire teeth into the head and stood back, laughing and somewhat offended on his friend’s behalf.

Glancing at Sam, he could see his brother’s understanding. And Cas had a similar look on his face. He nodded at them and said, “Snowpire.”

They both smiled at him indulgently as he added the final touch - a single drop of blood from the fingertip he’d pricked and applied to the tip of a fang.

Looking over, he threw out, “Mental note to sterilize all of this stuff later, Sam,” and got an affirmative in response.

Cas reached into his pocket and came back out with two pieces of clear blue rock in his hand. They were rough, with jagged edges, but smooth on the surface. His friend placed them where the eyes would go and leaned in close, whispering something under his breath that Dean couldn’t quite make out. He caught the word “cupcake”, though, and it made him smile.

The three of them drew back to view the finished products. Dean clasped Cas’s shoulder and said, “Good job for your first try. Next time we’ll have to-” but got no further due to the face full of snow Sam had just thrown at him.

Wiping his wet glove over his now wet face, he barked out “Oh, it’s on, bitch!” He ran in one direction, Sam in the opposite, taunting all the way, while Cas stood there looking perplexed. Dean packed a handful of fluffy ice into a solid mass fit for lobbing at little brothers.

Chucking it toward Sam, he quickly realized there was too much distance between them. Sam must have reached the same conclusion because he was no longer looking in Dean’s direction. Instead, ball of snow firmly in hand, he was eyeing Cas standing conveniently between them. Dean packed another and glanced back at his brother, nodding his understanding. The two of them let their ammunition fly, hitting their target from both sides.

Cas’s reaction was less than satisfying. “Why are you throwing ice at me?”

Dean scooped up some more and casually walked over to him. “Well, buddy, this is another part of snow days. You might understand better if I explain it to you in other terms, though. See...” he stepped closer, slung an arm around Cas’s shoulders and trailed his gloved fingers over the back of his neck. “This, Cas? This is war.” And he dumped the handful of ice down the back of Cas’s shirt.

Again, not the reaction he was going for, but he recognized that twitch in Cas’s eyes and started running. “War? War is something I was strategizing before your species learned about fire. I was orchestrating armies while your ancestors were-” SPLAT!

Dean doubled over with laughter as Sam yelled out, “You talk a big game, but you know jack shit about snowball fights!”

Oh, shit! His brother had a death wish. One minute Cas was standing, head tilted in that menacing way Dean remembered from day one; the next he was launching snowballs with unearthly accuracy and speed. And Sam wasn’t his only target.

There was a tap on his shoulder, and he turned to find his friend-turned-foe standing with both hands loaded. Dean was on the receiving end of two very cold hits to the face. He gasped in shock, then howled uproariously. He grabbed up his own heap of snow and shoved it right in Cas’s face then turned and ran toward his brother, who would make a far more convenient target.

Cas chased, and the three of them tossed snow at each other until the brothers were too exhausted to run anymore. “Truce!” Dean screamed, Sam nodding in agreement. “I beg for forgiveness, Cas! We underestimated you. You win!”

The transformation of his angel’s face was a thing of beauty. Victory looked good on him. Dean flopped back into the snow drift he was standing in and waited for his breathing to return to normal. As much as he hated to admit it, he needed to up his cardio.

Sam flopped down near him, breathing much more managed. He started flapping his arms and legs in the snow, and Dean grinned and followed suit. Cas approached them, brow furrowed with confusion.

“What are you doing now? Is this some form of exercise to increase your circulation?”

Dean stood up carefully and waved Cas over. “Nah, this is snow angels.” He pointed to the leg area and explained that it was supposed to resemble the skirt area of how angels were always depicted in artwork.

Cas nodded and moved to the side and gestured at the arms. “So, these are supposed to be the wings?”

“Yeah,” Dean rubbed at the base of his skull. “I mean, I know it’s nowhere near accurate, but it’s fun. You wanna try?”

Sam crawled out of his snow angel and ambled over to watch as Cas walked to the clear area above their figures. He laid down in the snow, and Dean waited for him to start moving, knowing it would be a sight worth remembering. Instead, he stared in awe as a set of impressions appeared to either side of Cas’s shoulders, stretching out for yards.

He heard Sam’s gasp, then, “Cas, are those your wings?”

“Yes. They aren’t visible on the mortal plain, but I can display them indirectly if I use enough grace.”

Dean looked over to see an expression of child-like wonder on his brother’s face. “That’s so cool!” Sam reached into his pocket and pulled out his phone, then stepped back to snap a pic. “I think we should get this framed.” Then he moved to photograph all of their other snow creations.

Dean stood at Cas’s feet and breathed out, “They’re amazing, Cas.”

The actual angel actually blushed. “Thank you.” He reached up and Dean gently drew him to his feet, so as not to disturb the imprint his angel left behind.

Sam called out, “I’m gonna go make some cocoa! Do you two want some?”

They both nodded, and Sam clambered down the stairs to the bunker, taking his duffel bag with him.

Dean looked back at Cas, who appeared to be having some kind of internal debate. “What’s wrong?”

The corner of Cas’s mouth quirked up, and he shook his head. “Nothing at all. I was just wondering if you know how often you think of me as your angel. I don’t listen to your thoughts intentionally, but you also stopped putting up a wall.”

It was Dean’s turn to blush. “Umm, yeah,” he spoke to the snowy ground. “Sorry about that.”

He felt warm fingers tilt his head back up. “Don’t be, Dean Winchester. I’ve been yours since the moment I saw your soul shining in the darkest depths. And I’ll be yours until all of the stars burn out.”

A tear fell from the corner of his eye, and Dean reached up to brush a stray snowflake from Cas’s cheek. He inhaled deeply, the chill air burning in his lungs. “Cas…”

His angel grinned at him, then leaned in and whispered against his lips, “I know.”

They kissed, and it was soft and sweet and everything Dean had ever wanted from this man. Well, almost.

“I swear, Cas. If you tell Sam you just Solo’d me, I’ll find a way to pluck your feathers and make a pillow out of them.”

Cas laughed, and it was glorious. “Your secret is safe with me,” he replied.

.... :::: :::: ....

It was nearing midnight on Christmas Eve, and Dean was curled up in his angel’s arms on the sofa they’d moved into the Dean Cave, watching “It’s A Wonderful Life”.

He was just about to comment on the fact that a certain dark-haired demon must have been fond of this film when both of their phones pinged. Shuffling around to reach into their pockets, they each found a new message.

Dean wondered why his brother was texting them from down the hall. He and Cas both checked the message to find an all caps “MERRY CHRISTMAS, JERKS” followed by an attachment. Cas was the first to open it, smiling radiantly at what he saw on the screen.

He turned his phone to Dean and started the video again. “I think he knows.” Dean saw zoomed in footage of the two of them, kissing in the snow. You could easily make out Dean’s astonishment and Cas’s teasing response.

Dean grabbed the cell and typed in a response. “We love you, too, bitch.” Then he tossed both phones on the table and pressed Cas down into the cushions, pillowing his head on his chest. A bell rang on screen, signaling an angel got his wings.

Finish the Job

for @tinyowlbear and @nothingalarming. You know what you did.

Careless. A rookie mistake, one he thought himself better than by now. He should have known better than to underestimate Jesse; after all, he’d seen the kid’s skills firsthand when Overwatch took out Deadlock, had seen the perceptiveness lurking behind the drawl and fancy getup when they spoke afterward. He’d been the one to offer Jesse a position within Blackwatch because of it, the one to convince Jack that this kid could be useful if he were given a second chance. He’d trained Jesse himself, showing more of an interest in the kid’s progress than he had in anything else for a long while.

Now they circle each other, low on ammunition, dripping from numerous wounds but not dead yet. Jesse holds his Peacekeeper up, trained on the center of mass for the body in front of him, but he stands hunched over, his metal arm pressed against the holes in his stomach. He’ll have to shoot slower that way, no fanning the hammer. One potential advantage for the Reaper in this standoff, but the kid always was a damn good shot, especially when he was down to his last magazine.

“You just don’t know when to quit, do you?”

The cowboy chuckles, winces. “Don’t reckon I do.” And he raises the barrel of his pistol and fires.

The owl mask cracks under the shot, falls to the ground in two pieces, and Reaper can’t turn his back on an opponent, can’t access his wraith form yet with the damage that’s been done to his physical body, so he just stands, stares, scowls at the man who exposed him. Jesse takes a step back. If this is the end, in a way Reaper’s glad it’s the kid and not Jack. Jesse always was a little less sentimental. Jesse will go for the kill. Even though the recognition hits his face, widens his eyes, drops his jaw. Even if he lowers his pistol just a fraction.

Reaper laughs, low and drawn out, menacing. The sound echoes through the empty streets around them. He twitches his shotguns closer together, and Jesse’s pistol is back where it should be, right at the center of him.

“Surprised?”

He knows what Jesse sees, has the hideous details memorized. Three-quarters of his face, or what used to be his face, is gone, replaced by dark, swirling mist. He has no jaw, no mouth, no cheeks, no nose; he barely has eyes. But it’s the eyes that haunt him if he sees them in a mirror. The eyes haven’t changed. When the rest of him died, became incorporeal mist bound to what remains of his flesh, all held together by sheer will and the armor he wears, his eyes remained the same: wide, expressive brown eyes. Haunted and pained.

The same eyes that watched Jesse leave Blackwatch rather than back him up when the rebellion broke out. The same eyes that saw every time Jesse and Genji snuck out of the base, even if they pretended not to. The same eyes that weighed and measured the potential of a young punk as they stared each other down across an interrogation room table. The eyes he thought he’d finally closed forever when he went down fighting as Overwatch fell.

“Gabriel?”

To his credit, Jesse doesn’t drop his Peacekeeper this time, keeps it aimed true, can perhaps see in the face-that-is-not-a-face what he doesn’t want to see. Reaper snarls and the wind kicks up, clattering a few stray leaves past their feet.

“Gabriel is dead.”

“Well then,” Jesse drawls, tilting his gun up to wave it back and forth between his eyes, “you got somethin’ o’ his just there. I’d appreciate if ya gave it back.” Reaper can see the effort it takes for Jesse to joke, how his arm tightens across his stomach, how his lips twitch from cocky grin to grimace and back, how his eyes soften and his brows draw together just a touch. He can’t remember what it’s like to feel pain like that. When your entire existence is agony, you tend to forget.

He only knows he’s injured because he moves slower, his shotguns feel heavier. He knows he’s critically wounded because he can’t access his wraith form. If he looks down at his body, he’ll see smoke curling out of the holes Jesse left. His body is trying to repair itself, knit whatever passes for organs and tissues back together, stop the involuntary leaking. If he can keep Jesse talking long enough, he’ll regain function, can flee the scene. Thankfully the kid isn’t entirely devoid of sentimentality.

“Wish I could,” Reaper says and drops his head, looking up out the top of those eyes. Jesse’s nostrils flare, scenting for the trap, but either he can’t find it or he deludes himself into believing it’s not there. Reaper watches the decision to trust relax Jesse’s hand around the grip, uncurl his index finger and rest it against the trigger guard. The vulnerability makes him twitch, every nerve he has left screaming for him to shoot the kid now, wound him further, draw out his life force, cross one more name off his list. Instead he deflates, rolling his shoulders forward under his armor.

“It ain’t too late, Gabe,” and damn if the kid’s earnest words don’t tug at the cavern of his heart, stirring at something that’s lain dormant for years. But there’s nothing for him to go back to; anything that he may desire from that life burned and died and was buried, just like him. It’s been too late for him since before Overwatch, he just hadn’t realized it then, hadn’t made his peace with who he is for far too long, if indeed “peace” can be used to describe anything about him.

He chuckles, a sinister rumble, and Jesse’s eyes narrow under his hat. The kid’s fingers flex and refit themselves around the pistol grip and trigger, and Reaper feels a little incongruous swell of pride that the instincts he’d honed in Jesse are at least serving him well when his good nature is doing its level best to get him killed.

“You never could lie to me, boy,” he says, and Jesse flinches, his whole face grimacing, lips curling, eyes squinting. “Don’t lie to yourself too.”

“I ain’t lyin’,” the kid mutters, the same way he used to backtalk during pre and post mission briefings, Genji snickering beside him, the other Blackwatch agents at least having the decency to attempt to smother their laughter and grins in the presence of their superior officer. There’s no one here now to show off for, and Reaper understands the remark for what it is: a grasping at normalcy, an attempt to return to the way things were. Perhaps he was wrong about Jesse after all, and the kid has grown too soft in the years since he left, too nostalgic, the distance casting a rosy tint on their past. If that’s the case, he can’t wait for Jesse to take care of things. It’s up to him to end it.

He shoots twice, fires one shotgun right after the other, and Jesse falls, no chance to return fire before the buckshot catches him in the chest, the stomach, the arm. The hat tumbles from the kid’s head when he hits the ground, rolls a few feet away. Reaper pulls in a deep, rattling breath, drawing out Jesse’s life and regenerating his own, knitting his body back together, feeling the strength return to his form. The kid struggles anyway, tries to rise, and Reaper sets one boot on his wrist. Jesse stills underfoot, groans, rolls his head to stare up into those eyes he used to know. His mouth opens as if to speak.

“Stay down,” Reaper growls, then dissolves. His wraith form tugs uncomfortably on his consciousness, letting him know he has a lot of healing left to do, but he pushes through, rides it until he collapses to his knees a half mile away. He drops his shotguns, empty of shells as they are, and props his left arm up against an alley wall. He stays there, just breathing for a long moment, and does not wonder if Jesse had any backup at all or if he’ll be there, bleeding out in the small side street, until he dies.

His right begins to raise on its own, and Reaper fumbles once before he gets a proper hold on his sidearm, though he’s barely able to draw it.

“Relájate, amigo.” Sombra materializes, the force underneath his arm, and gives him an arch look. “Ves? Soy yo.” She shrugs, hoisting his arm a little higher over her shoulders, but doesn’t start moving until he drops the sidearm too and pushes himself off the wall, staggering mostly upright. Sombra catches most of his weight with a roll of her eyes and shake of her head, but she doesn’t dislodge him or try to hurry him down the back alleys he steers them toward. She doesn’t ask how much farther or rib him for not being able to handle himself, and he worries what this means.

“What are you doing here?” he asks once they reach his ship, secreted behind two abandoned buildings in the old industrial sector. Sombra laughs and spins away from him as he leans against the ship.

“Who, me?” She presses fingers to her heart, the wicked grin on her face undermining the innocence of the gesture. “Who says I was even here?” She dematerializes in front of his eyes, her finger the last thing he sees as she taps the part of his face that would be a nose if he still had one.

Reaper pulls himself into his ship, setting the autopilot for one of his bases farther away. He’ll have to deal with Sombra’s leverage over him later. And Jesse...Jesse…

For now, he plucks a new mask from the wall, slides it into place, and rearms himself from the stockpile he keeps before curling up to attempt to sleep through the flight as though he believes that could possibly happen when his thoughts get farther and farther away from his body as the ship moves along its programmed course.

Gun Safety Tips for Beginners

Gun Safety Tips for Beginners

  It should go without saying that guns are not toys, and handling them requires a great amount of responsibility. To help you get used to the proper protocol, and in the interest of helping you form good habits as possible, we’re providing a list of safety guidelines for you to keep in mind.

  Unload firearms when not in use. The firearm and its ammunition should be stored separately (and far away from children!). A gun should be unloaded immediately after you finish shooting, and you must always check to see if a gun is loaded – never assume that it is empty and safe to handle.

  Treat all firearms as if they’re loaded. Check to confirm if it is loaded or not, keep your finger off of the trigger, and never carry a gun in an awkward or reckless manner. All guns should be handled as if it is possible they could go off at any moment.

  Don’t just rely on the safety mechanism. It can be easy to assume that as long as the safety mechanism is in place, nothing bad can happen. The truth is that sometimes the mechanical safety trigger can be faulty, or it can be in the “off” position even if you thought it was engaged. It is much safer to keep the safety features in place and develop good safety habits.

  Always point at the ground or in a safe direction. Whether the gun is loaded or not, if it is not aimed at a particular target, the muzzle should always be pointed at the ground, or in a safe direction told to you by a supervisor. A gun should never be aimed at anything that you do not want to put a hole in – and don’t forget that a bullet can travel through walls, ceilings, and other barriers, or at least it can ricochet off and hit an unsuspecting person.

  Never operate under the influence of alcohol or other drugs

Be familiar with your target and its surroundings. Observe the entire area and understand that firing at strange noises or movements could result in an innocent person getting hurt. Once a gun fires, you no longer have any control over where the bullet goes or what gets hit. Make absolutely sure you know what is going to get hit before you fire.

  Don’t touch the trigger until your sights are on your target. We mentioned this briefly in an earlier point but it is definitely important enough to bring up again. Beginners might feel as though it’s important for them to always have their hands in a position that is “ready” to fire. However, if your finger is already on the trigger, being startled at the slightest noise could result in an accidental, reflective firing. Making sure to keep your finger away from the trigger will reinforce the fact that you need to take your time before you shoot, ultimately forming much safer shooting habits.

  Clean your gun regularly. Good maintenance is important for your gun to function smoothly, so it should be cleaned every time it is used. If a gun has been placed in storage for a long time, it should be cleaned thoroughly before being used, in case any moisture, oil, or dirt buildup prevents its normal functioning. We also strongly recommend to confirm with the manufacturer of your gun how often it should be professionally inspected or serviced. Any mechanical device is subject to wear and cannot lost forever, so periodic adjustments and thorough inspections are critical to its functioning.
