strangetrip | [EP] Just chillin' out maxin' relaxin' all cool

Unlike others at the Inn, Clarice didn't get a ghostly visit and she was very much okay with that. She had enough ghosts in her head without visits from home telling her how much she screwed up or will screw up or whatever. Even though the weather had been mild, the sunsets coming later meant that spring was on its way. The nights were still freaking chilly but it was warm enough out now to enjoy the pool. At least a heated one and if it got too cold there was always teleporting to her room. Alcohol helped to keep you warm, too and since the pool had a bar, it was win/win.

Clarice did a few laps in the pool while she waited for her lunch to be delivered. As she came to the end of one lap, she saw Molly with a plate of food. "Perfect timing." Clarice said as she pushed herself out of the pool to eat the chicken and fries with her Manhattan. "Thanks!"

There was a quirk to her lips when she pulled the cherry out of the drink and popped it in her mouth to make a knot with the stem. It was a fun reminder of Thor and she made a mental note to see what he was up to.

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

Clarice put down her food, stood up and spread her hands. Pink light sparkled around her hands as the portal began to appear. It took a moment for her to widen it enough for Dean to step through.

"After you."

Dean told himself it wasn't that different than Cas taking him places. "What the hell," he muttered to himself and stepped through.

It was just like stepping through a door. He hadn't felt a thing. "That was awesome." She had 'put' him just outside the bakery so he stepped inside and got a couple of pieces of pie and a chocolate brownie. Who didn't like chocolate?

She'd heard his awesome comment just as the portal closed and laughed. It was such an odd sensation to have people that weren't mutants not just accept her but not mind her looks or abilities.

It took her about six minutes to get that small amount of strength back that it took out of her. Clarice opened the portal to just outside the bakery for Dean to step back through.

Dean wasn't sure where the portal would be but he'd guessed the same spot so he was standing near by. There wasn't a sensation or gut feeling, the portal just appeared. It was a bit unnerving, but he stepped through anyway.

"Brought you back a brownie." Dean set it on the table next to where Clarice would have been if the portal hadn't eclipsed her.

"Thanks." Clarice plucked it out of his hand and put it on her plate. "That's a good idea. Maybe I'll charge a brownie for each portal trip."

Not really, she'd do it for free, but it wouldn't hurt, she liked brownies.

"Hey I'd charge beer, but that's me." Dean smirked and popped a piece of the dessert in his mouth.

Clarice went back to eating her meal. "Maybe I'll mix it up. Some times beer, some times brownie." She smiled around her fork, before swallowing. "I know what brought be here, but you don't seem like a pool or any swimming kind of guy. What brought you out here?"

"I'm not." Dean agreed. "But I am a guy that appreciates women enjoying the pool." He winked, "I was headed this way when I saw it was you." A beat. "It was too late to turn around. Besides you had fries."

That made Clarice laugh, "Sorry to disappoint. Next time I'll journal you to let you know woman are here that aren't me."

Dean said with a teasing smirk, "I'd appreciate that. Portal me if you see any female skinny dipping."

"Sure, donor." If there was any doubt that Dean was in any way connected to Alec, that was gone. Seriously. "Are you going to put some alarm bells in your room when I portal you so I don't open the portal on something that will make me have to bleach my eyes?"

Dean winked, "I guarantee you won't want to bleach your eyes after seeing anything in my room." He paused a beat, "well unless Crowley visits again, then you will."

"That's the dude from the visits, right?" Clarice hadn't met him but she had heard about him. He'd made an impression in the bar. "What's his deal?"

"King of hell, literally." Dean made a face and took a healthy drink from his beer bottle. "The devil you know and all that, sort of."

"Seriously?" Clarice shook her head, "you really do have a complicated life. I thought mutant hating ass hats were the worst but I think you won that one with hell royalty."

"Yay, me?" Dean smirked and waited for the perfect moment to steal one of Clarice's fries.
