[ It’s not every day that the people of Wonderland get good news, and boy has Dean gotten some— at least according to his brother. It’s why when the feed clicks on, the view is of both brothers leaving the Mansion, their destination becoming clear within the next few seconds. Parked just outside sits a car, black surface shining and spotless and perfect.

And Dean? Dean looks beyond excited, breaking away from his brother with a few quick steps as he approaches the newly arrived vehicle. Like a kid in a candy store, he huffs a laugh as he approaches it, hand reaching out to touch the Impala the moment he’s close enough, an undeniable gasp leaving him as he does. ]

Baby—

[ Anything and anyone else seems to be forgotten after that, Dean’s focus entirely on the car. He all but embraces it, whispering —Sorry I left you, I’m back now, you’re so beautiful, I’ll never let anyone hurt or touch you again — things to what’s arguably a third Winchester by every standard except blood.

The reason it's all being recorded in the first place is due to Sam who, though the network can't see his face, has the whole scene playing out via his camera. The younger Winchester, who'd spotted the car earlier, just scoffs in honest disbelief. ]

Told you. I wouldn't've believed it, but... yeah. Guess she left it behind.

[ "For us" goes unspoken after the exceptionally awkward story that she'd elected to share with everyone. It's a backwards kind of bittersweet now that she'd gone, gifting them their literal mobile home. ]

Just wanted you to see it. I'll give you two a room.

[ With a little laugh, he turns away as if to head back inside. However, the video from the device switches to another recorded feed, one from a camera that Sam had stuck within the car before bringing his brother out. Apparently edited for content, a song queues up in the background to overlay the scene.

And what a scene it is. Anyone who actually decides it’s a good idea to keep watching will be subjected to more of, well, what’s already been going on. Dean’s all but kissing the car, rounding around the back until he’s at the driver’s side, then slipping in to sit behind the wheel. Hands feel down the steering wheel, then the side compartment — his cassettes, yes — and every inch of the car. All with Dean looking as if he’s been reunited with a long lost friend, words of affection still whispered to the car in a hushed tone.

Shh, this is a private moment. ]

Sam thinks it was Becky. But then again Sam's an asshole so what does he know.

[ofletters]

It was Becky, she left a note. And maybe I'm an asshole, but I'm also not making sex eyes at a car.

[ganking]

Yeah, 'cause you makin' sex anything at anyone would just creep 'em out. Baby included.

[ofletters]

Dude, you got your favorite thing ever around here. Don't be pissy.

[ganking]

And you tried to ruin it with this whole-- filmin' crap. It's a sacred moment, dude.

[ofletters]

"Tried to ruin it?" Damn. I was really hoping to wreck the moment.

[ Okay CLEARLY that was not his goal but. ]

Glad to have her back?

[ganking]

Ain't you?

[ basically like family arriving in wonderland, right. ]

[ofletters]

'Course. It's good to feel a little bit like... I dunno, we're not totally removed from home.

[ Since it is their home. ]

Is the trunk still packed? I didn't check.

[ganking]

Sure is. Like my girl would arrive without her finest with her.

[ sammy pls, have a little faith in the impala. ]

[ofletters]

Hey, I wasn't sure! [ He has a lot of faith in the Impala, okay. Sam grins back, then sighs wistfully. ]

Man. I didn't realize how different things'd be without the Impala around, but... it's just good to have her back. That car's been through everything.

[ganking]

You're tellin' me. Last time I saw her was when I handed the keys to Meg of all people. [ and then she'd wrecked it in an attempt to distract the leviathan. shitty times all around. ]

Makes me hurt just thinkin' about it...

[ofletters]

What, to try and suss out Dick? [ Jesus. That was years ago, for Sam. ] You really are behind on the times, man.

[ He does remember the instance of Meg smashing the car through the front of Roman's building. Good times. Or, er, not. ]

[ganking]

Yeah, well, add a couple months of Purgatory on top of it all, and yeah... I guess I am.

[ something he's already realized, tyvm. ]

[brainsqueeze]

He knew where your car was. Does it work?

[ganking]

'Course she works. [ he'd have to hunt becky down and kick her ass if it didn't. ] Wonderhell or otherwise, a little interdimensional travelin' ain't gonna put her outta comission.

[brainsqueeze]

Unless that was Wonderland's point. Not sure how much use you'll get though.

( Lack of roads. Lack of... anywhere to go. Enjoy sitting pretty )

[ganking]

I'll get use just fine alright. In fact, bettin' there're gonna lines of people itchin' for a ride. You're welcome to join me.

[ w i n k. ]

[brainsqueeze]

How many are you offering that to?

[ganking]

Would you believe me if I said you're the first one?

[ not gonna be the last though... ]

[brainsqueeze]

Then it's a good job I'm not going so you don't have to find out.

[ganking]

Ooh, harsh. [ but he's more than amused. ] Why not? Afraid you might demand another ride?

[brainsqueeze]

Not afraid. Just not interested.

[ganking]

Uh-- have you seen her? She's amazing, and you could totally get a ride in that-- which you're passin' up? Don't tell me you're from some alien world where there're no cars as well.

[brainsqueeze]

We've got cars. It's just not what I spend my time on.

( Free time anyway. Although don't ask her what she spends it on. Wonderland is the first place she's used to having any... )

[ganking]

Uh-huh, so what then? Or is it some chick thing I don't wanna know about.
