Chris decided to make himself comfortable in the common room and flipped through the TV channels until he hit on the football playoffs.

"Yep," Chris agreed. "Grandpa sent me and Wyatt here to learn how to use our magic."

"Good place for that. All sorts of stuff like magic being taught here." Dean paused. "Wyatt?"

[neurotic-witch.livejournal.com]

"My older brother," Chris explained. "We just found out about our powers."

"My brother's at the school with me too," Dean said. "'Cept I'm the older one."

[neurotic-witch.livejournal.com]

Chris smiled. "That's cool. How did you guys end up here?"

"I got stuck in this portal pocket dimension thing for three years though it only seemed like three hours to me," Dean explained. "After he got me out, Dad decided to send Sammy and me here to keep us safe. That was last May. Then, last semester Dad got a job teaching here so he could keep a better eye on us."

"Oh, wait, you said Winchester?" Chris asked. "I'm taking your dad's class."

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

"Yeah?" Dean grinned. "Given what I know about what would be your family history, I'm guessing I don't have to clarify that it's not hunting deer and rabbits, right?"

Chris chuckled. "No, that was why I signed up for it. My mom and my aunts were a powerful force of good and I think my brother and I are supposed to carry on their legacy."

"Family business huh? Yeah, that's what Sammy and I are doing. Dad's one of the best hunters out there and we're going to follow in his footsteps."

[neurotic-witch.livejournal.com]

"Cool, I think I'll learn a lot from his class," Chris said.

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

"You will," Dean said confidently. "Like I said, Dad's the best."

[neurotic-witch.livejournal.com]

"So what kind of powers do you have?" Chris asked.

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

"You mean besides my sparkling wit and stunning good looks?" Dean shook his head with a smirk. "No powers. Just a lot of training and knowledge."

Chris wondered if all older brothers were so self-assured.

"Wait, your family doesn't have powers but you hunt demons?"

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

"Yep." He grinned. "Is this the part where you tell me that's impossible? Because I already had that conversation with Bel. Many times."

[neurotic-witch.livejournal.com]

"No, it's just surprising," Chris said. "I got the impression that normal humans didn't know much about magic or demons or anything."

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

"They do when a demon attacks your family," Dean said seriously. "My mom was killed by one when Sammy was a baby."

[neurotic-witch.livejournal.com]

"Sorry," Chris said. "My parents and aunts died when I was just over a year old."

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

"Sorry," Dean said, deliberately not trying to do math to figure out what year that would have been. Would be. Whatever. "Demons suck."

[neurotic-witch.livejournal.com]

"Definitely," Chris agreed. "But I guess that explains why you and your dad and you brother hunt them."

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

"Yep. To keep them from doing to others what they did to our family."
