"It's a start," Runa said. "Try, see if it'll work. If it doesn't, we'll think of something else. I mean, we've got Sam here, it's not like we're strapped for raw power."
|
"Right." Jesse tried that, and then focused harder on that. And when nothing had happened after five minutes, he gave up.
"I think we need a new plan." |
"That's okay," Runa said. "We knew it might not work." She sighed a bit. "Now we need to figure something else out." She was quiet for a moment, thinking, and then she looked at Baby. "Do you have any idea what happened when you got changed?" she asked him.
|
Baby shrugged. "Not really, no," he said. "It felt odd, though." Of course, he was supposed to be a car, so this whole thing was odd.
|
"Odd how?" Runa asked. "If we can figure out exactly what happened, we might be able to reverse it again. As long as that's good with you."
|
Baby just sort of shrugged. "I don't really know," he said. "I mean, I'm supposed to be a car, but I can talk this way. I don't know what I prefer yet."
|
That made Runa pause.
"Well," she said after a moment, "then why don't we take you inside while we try to puzzle this out? Get you something to wear, maybe something to eat, just until we find a way to fix things?" And that would give Baby a chance to figure out how he wanted to stay, and just maybe Runa wanted to hear some of the stories the car could no doubt tell about the Winchesters. |
Baby nodded after a moment and got up. Kyra tossed some clothes at them.
"I thought you might need those," she said. "Thanks." Baby pulled the clothes on rather stiffly, still getting used to limbs. |
Runa eyed the clothes for a moment.
"Those are Dean's," she said, lifting an eyebrow a bit. "Huh. They fit well. Interesting." |
"They're very similar height and build," Kyra pointed out. "There's still food in the fridge, might as well let him get something to eat."
|
"Yeah, but honestly, what are the chances of Dean's clothes fitting Dean's car?" Runa pointed out. "Just randomly happening?" Once Baby was dressed, she started herding everyone inside. Sam went in on his own, carefully sidestepping the welcome mat as he did. He knew there was a devil's trap under it.
|
"Slim to none?" Kyra shrugged. "I dunno, maybe the body is modeled after Dean because it's Dean's car? I don't really know how reality altering works."
|
"It's pretty much like that," Runa said. "I bet it actually is because it's Dean's car. I mean, Dean spent at least the last ten years driving that car around, and he completely rebuilt it twice. He's the one most likely to be modeled after."
|
"Right." Kyra shrugged. "I guess we'll see what happens now." She shook her head a bit and headed inside with Baby to help him get settled for now.
|
"Yeah," Runa said, ushering Jesse inside as well. "For now, maybe some food. I'll keep working on a way to turn him back."
|
Kyra nodded. "Food I can do," she said with a little grin, pulling stuff out of the fridge. She could get Gabe to just poof things in too, but for now raiding the fridge worked.
|
"Awesome," Runa said. "There are..." she trailed off, taking a mental head count, "nine of us here. So cooking for eight is probably good."
|
"Yeah, I can do that." Kyra started throwing things together. "Although I doubt everyone will eat, but this way we should have enough."
|
"Yeah," Runa said. She stretched a bit. "Need any extra hands? Or should I just go and try to talk Cas into distracting Dean for a while?"
|
"Nah, I'm good here, go do whatever you need to do." Kyra pulled a few more ingredients out of the fridge, already working on putting together something edible. She just had to find some rice...
|
Runa nodded and headed off to see what everyone else was up to. She needed to clear her head a bit if she was going to figure out how to fix the human-Impala problem.
|
"There's food," Kyra called about half an hour later when everything was done. She was kind of proud of herself considering she'd had to scrounge around in Bobby's kitchen.
|
Everyone started to filter into the kitchen, except really Sam. Even Gabriel and Cas made their way over, although they didn't necessarily have to eat.
"When'd you find time to run to the store?" Bobby asked as he took a plate. "Cause I sure as hell know I didn't have some of this stuff before." |
"Uh. I didn't. I just grabbed whatever was around and used it." Kyra shrugged. "Some of it might have been what we brought, or from the last booze run."
|
"Nope," Gabriel said easily from near the kitchen door. "I've been keeping an eye on her. She's been creating what she needs for the past half an hour, at least."
