Fourth floor common room, late Sunday morning

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

It had been a while since he'd done the open brunch thing and with things finally feeling like they were getting back to something resembling normal for him, it felt like a good time to do it again.

So here Dean was in the kitchen of the common room, dividing his attention from the food cooking and the book Karal had given him to read. Who said he couldn't multitask?

"Nah, it was something else," Dean said, trying to remember.

"...oh, crap, is there someone else with my face?"

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

"I..." Finally the memory popped up and Dean grinned. "Not here at least -- it was a simulation I remember, from Criminal Justice my sophmore year."

"Who was your teacher?" she wondered, frowning a little.

"A dude in a mask named V," Dean said. "Come to think of it, he was from England in the future too..."

Dean had Evey's full attention. "You knew V? I'd heard he was here. I didn't know he'd put me in simulations."

"Yeah. It was the final exam even," Dean said. "I was his TA, he was pretty cool."

[remember5th.livejournal.com]

"He...yes, that's a way to put it," said Evey, who thought V was so much more than 'pretty cool.' "I used to...um, work with him."

"Yeah?" Dean asked, perking up with interest. "Blowing things up?"

[remember5th.livejournal.com]

Her lips curved in a small smile. "Just one thing for me, but I watched him blow up the Bailey. He laid the foundation for everything I know about explosives."

"Guess I know who to go to if I need help blowing anything up," Dean said, grinning back.

"Are you planning on exploding anything?" she asked, arching a brow. She was flattered more than anything.

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

"Well, not at the moment, but you never know," Dean said with a smirk.

[remember5th.livejournal.com]

"Sometimes all a situation calls for is a good Molotov cocktail," Evey said, nodding solemnly.

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

"Exactly. Hey, I should show you the kit V gave me before he left."

[remember5th.livejournal.com]

"Kit?" Evey's brows shot up.

Dean nodded. "Lots of stuff for blowing things up and all."
