WHO || The Knights
WHAT || Failboat returns from the disaster in LA as the Knighthood goes on lockdown
WHERE || The castle, London
WHEN || Directly after this, Fall 2017
HOW || Actionspam

Hasmed's announcement does not brook any rebuttal: all Knights are recalled to the Castle, where they must remain until the Section Heads and Jack Chessing have spoken about the events in Los Angeles that have left the Knighthood without their usual leader.  

The entire Los Angeles area is now covered with a dark miasma that has interfered with any signals that might be sent out from phones, etc., leaving the whole world wondering what exactly is happening down there.  Final images showed horrendous monsters, a panic of citizens, looting and violence from humans and Shadowkind alike.  

Hasmed has warned of extra magical wards on the castle, and anyone arriving will immediately take notice of one very prominent one: above the entire roof of the excessively large building hovers a black and red sigil in the air, a pentagram in a circle surrounded by runes or words in an unknown language, stretching for miles.

[Any anger on Sam's face seems to dissolve with each new word that comes out of Rose's mouth. He's knows all about making mistakes, things he shouldn't have done, but they were just things to fill a void that wouldn't ever go away.

Dean might need him, but he needed Dean too, and Sam didn't know if he'd really ever had him on his side until right now.

And then on top of that, Rose had his back too, in all the ways that mattered. If he fucked up, she'd notice where his brother couldn't. She wanted his help.

It's really the only thing he's ever wanted, even when he couldn't see it.

His eyes sting, they start to water, and he gives her a nod.]

Yeah, you're right. Together.

[It was, unfortunately, too easy for Rose to only ever see things from Dean's point of view, but she was the one who woke up with him on the particularly bad nights, the one who counted the number of drinks he had to gauge how bad his headspace was. She saw the world through his eyes because she lived with him every day, and because she had some measure of shared understanding in what it feels like to be betrayed by the very people you would have died for.

Sometimes she was just so singularly focused on Dean and how he was, that she forgot that none of this had ever been easy for Sam. It was hard enough being in the Shadow of an older brother. What must it be like to live in the Shadow of another version of yourself as well?]

She'll get what's coming to her. [Her hand awkwardly reaching to give his arm a gentle squeeze.] They all will.
