Campgrounds, Sunday morning

[1ordinarygirl.livejournal.com]

Buffy had woken early, and decided to go down to the camp grounds to clean up from yesterday. She beamed at the thought. It had been successful! People had talked and melted peeps and danced and everything! Buffy looked down at the melted peep stains on the grilling fork and hoped it didn't petrify. She stuffed it into her bag and moved on, cleaning as she went.


ooc: Open for all, weetiny or not!

Alec yawned as he came on up, looking around the camp grounds. "Morning..."

Ana and her brother had made it out of the park, and headed for the big dark forest. Neither of them were scared of such things, and it looked like a good hiding place.

Except now, oh, look, a campground and people. She stopped just inside the ring of cabins, Tommy breathing heavily, maybe pouring on a bit of melodrama.

"Too...much running." he gasped. "Legs too...short."

Jake hadn't had much luck so far in finding any family -- Grandpa John and Grandma Zoe's house wasn't -- so now he was just wandering looking for a familiar face.

When he headed out to the campgrounds he found one.

"Hey," he said happily, running up to Alec. "You and Dad got sucked through the portal too?"

[x5-alec.livejournal.com]

"Me and who now?" Alec said, looking at the kid oddly.

[weechesters.livejournal.com]

"You and Dad," Jake said, his grin turning into a frown. "What, you hit your head or something?"

[x5-alec.livejournal.com]

Alec frowned at the kid, thinking he looked way too familiar somehow. "Not lately," he said. "Who's your dad and why would I get sucked through a portal with him?"

[weechesters.livejournal.com]

Jake gave him a 'you're kidding, right?' look. "Dean Winchester. And probably because I got sucked through and you were coming after me." He paused. "Memory spell?"

[x5-alec.livejournal.com]

"No?" But that'd explain why he looked familiar -- Dean's kid would probably look like he and Dean did as kids, so the fact that this kid, Dean's son, looked like Alec when he was young, wasn't so weird. "I mean, I'm pretty sure it's not. And aren't you a bit old to be Dean's kid?"

[weechesters.livejournal.com]

Jake shrugged. "Not so you'd notice. And hey, at least you remember Dad. That's something. You're not totally amnesia'ed."

[x5-alec.livejournal.com]

"I remember Dean," Alec said, sort of at a loss. "And if he had a kid, I think he would've told me."

[weechesters.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, well you obviously have forgot about getting me," Jake pointed out logically. "Maybe the portal did it -- they can really mess with you. But don't worry, Dad'll straighten it all out. Where is he anyway?" He looked around, which incidentally let Alec get a glimpse of the back of Jake's neck.

Alec stared for much longer than it took to read the barcode, the configuration disturbing because of its implications. "Holy crap," he breathed. "Kid." Alec raised his voice, eyes narrowing as the boy turned back around to look at him. "What's your designation?"

[weechesters.livejournal.com]

"I'm Jake," Jake said, reminding himself that Alec wouldn't remember his name if he didn't remember him existing.

[1ordinarygirl.livejournal.com]

"Hi Alec!" Buffy straightened and grinned. "Are you here to help clean or just to be randomly bossed around?"

[x5-alec.livejournal.com]

Alec stared some more. "No, kid, the barcode -- what's your designation," he repeated.

[weechesters.livejournal.com]

"X5-494." Jake frowned. "But Dad says I'm not a number. I'm Jake. Like you're Alec."

[weechesters.livejournal.com]

Jake smiled at the pretty blonde. "Hi, I'm Jake Winchester," he said sticking out his hand to her.

[1ordinarygirl.livejournal.com]

Buffy blinked at the kid. "...Are you a little Mister Winchester?" she asked suspiciously. "Like, are you my mentor when you're big?"

[x5-alec.livejournal.com]

"Dude." Alec frowned back. "I was 494. And I'm Alec too, but that was my designation before..." He tensed slightly, suspicions growing. "You know anything about Manticore?"

[x5-alec.livejournal.com]

"Both?" He grinned back, a little relieved to have a distraction. "I mean, I can clean whatever you point me at, unless you've got something else for me to do."

Buffy looked around. "Could you get all the blankets, maybe? I think I need to wash them before I put them back."

[1ordinarygirl.livejournal.com]

Buffy waved at the kids, wondering if they were wee teachers.

[weechesters.livejournal.com]

Jake gave Alec a 'duh' look. "Bad dudes that make transgenics," he said. "They made you and they made me, but you escaped, and you and Dad rescued me."

Tentatively, Ana waved back. Tommy tried to hide behind his sister.

[weechesters.livejournal.com]

"Do you want me to be?" Jake asked coyly.
