[b]MIKA AND NATALIA[/b]

Seeing Dean almost grumble in disapproval at her quip about how Dean used to like sleepovers also made Mika smirk smugly that she got one over on him for once. It made a change from playful jabs being made at her and she very rarely got one over on him, so when she did, she revelled in it and she noticed that Natalia and Sam noticed it also as she smirks on their lips. This was also her way of backing Sam up from the jabs, just like she always used to. 

As Dean said about getting the blankets and sleeping bags, she decided she would help him if it came to it, by remaining out of the way of the cast iron door and letting him. She didn't notice it, but being this close was making her skin feel rather warm under her clothing but she thought nothing of it, just assuming it was because there was no real air conditioning in this basement of Bobby's. 

She watched as Natalia stepped out behind Dean and then started walking toward the steps with her. "Can't believe you didn't say anything about this being down here" she quietly told Mika, "None of you asked" Mika quipped back with a smirk and light snigger. "Touche" Nat replied before looking back again as it was dicussed about the two of them helping come up with defence plans.

With the jesting done and over with, he looked back down at Annabeth as she walked back to him after studying every inch of the vault. He smiled at her at first but then she spoke so seriously and quietly, his smiel faded a little, not knowing where this was going but knew they did indeed need to talk. He wanted to tell her that he remembered her from when they were kids, remind her of that one brief meeting that night, but it seemed she needed to get what she had to say off her chest first. 

The words that came out of her mouth did not sit well with him at all, and he shook his head lightly but he knew she was right, he would have to let her go if they were to get any kind of advance on Alistair, but he didn't like the idea. "I don't wanna let you go again...but...but I know I have to" he mumbled back to her. "We have met before Anna...in Minnesota, in some grubby motel parking lot. We ran to a cabin in the adjacent woods and my brother and Mika came after us. Just know I have never forgiven myself for letting you run off that night and if I fail you again by getting you hurt because I agree to letting you go with AListair? I won't forgive myself for that either" he explained to her, placing his forehead to hers.
