Ch. 5 Video
I woke up only a few hours later from a nightmare, made worse when I smacked my face, forgetting about my nose being broken. A warm sensation above my lip informed me that I had made my nose start bleeding again. Grabbing some tissues, I held them to my bed and left my room, wanting to find some pain pills. I wondered if Simmons would be up, but after I saw the time, I realized there was no way she would be awake. It was three in the morning, only a crazy person would be up at this time. Which is why it was no surprise that I was awake.
Walking into the kitchen, I found the Advil quickly. I threw the pills back and took a second to exam my face in a mirror someone had hung on a cabinet. I looked like absolute shit. There was still some blood on my upper lip, both my eyes were bruised and swollen, and I looked like I had the shit beat outta me, not the other way around. Luckily my nose was still straight, so I didn't have to worry about Simmons having to pop it back into place again. Looking around the dark plane, I left the kitchen to wander around until someone woke up. Peering around a corner, I found a slightly open door. Curious, I peered inside. I couldn't remember if Simmons had told me what this room was. I found out pretty quickly, though. The clear glass gave an amazing view to the sky outside. It made being in a flying metal deathtrap not seem so bad. May was sitting in the pilot's seat, making sure everything was running smoothly.
"Are you just going to stand there or are you going to come in?" She spoke, making me jump. I didn't think she had noticed me standing at the door. Slipping inside, I sat in the co-pilot's seat, taking in the amazing view. "Why's your nose bleeding again?" May asked in her monotone and slightly cold voice. Looking to her, I found her focused on flying the plane, barely looking my way.
"Oh, I just whacked myself in the face, like a dumbass," I said, rather pissed at myself for sounding so damn stupid. May didn't comment on it and the silence made me feel a bit uncomfortable. I was surprised she even let me in. From what everyone else had said, she wasn't big on being around other people. "What are you doing up so early? I assume you don't have to be flying this all the time," I asked, tired of the silence.
"I don't have to. I prefer flying the plane myself, though." I nodded and stayed quiet for a little while. I didn't know what else to say and she was clearly comfortable in silence. I just stared out the windshield, amazed by the early morning sky. The moon was still up and the sun wouldn't be rising for at least another hour, so the stars were out well. I sat there in silence is May for a while before I couldn't sit still anymore. I said goodbye and walked around for a while before settling for the bay of the plane. I opened the passenger door to my car and laid across the seat, finding comfort in the car that has been my home since I left my brothers.
It's funny when you think about it. A lot of people considered us homeless. We went from one crappy motel to the next, or would stay with friends of our father. But I never felt homeless. Home was the backseat of my dad's, now my brother's, Impala. Home was Sam and Dean watching out for me, making sure I was alright. For the first time in my life, I was on my own. Wait, that wasn't true. There was the time when Dean was in purgatory and Sam was trying to have a normal life. But I could still see and talk to Sam. Now, I was really on my own. Yeah, there was Coulson's team, but I didn't know them that well and I wasn't one hundred percent sure I could trust them. Not with everything that has happened in my life. It was chaos and while they seemed to be used to the unexpected, this was a whole another ball game. A world of demons and angels and an absent God were not something you went were ever prepared for. Ever. Dean, Sam, and I sure as hell weren't. And it had cost us everything. Several times actually.
Sighing to myself, I wiggled around until I was comfortable and drifted off to sleep.

Notes

Oh, goodness. How long has it been? Too damn long. Sorry about that. I have been extremely busy and not feeling up to writing until now. This chapter has been mostly done for quite some time, but I haven't been able to actually finish it until now. It's not as long as I normally write, but I thought it would be a good place to stop. I will try to update as soon as possible, but I'm not sure when that will be. Thanks for being patient with me.
