krozna ♔ our wrongs remain unrectified

WHO || Failboat, Mikhail Kalachnik, ?? ?? [closed]
WHAT || The Ex-Knights of Failboat arrive at Krozna
WHERE || Krozna, Russia
WHEN || 2 days after LA
HOW || Actionspam or prose

Sidelined from the mission that has been many of their lives for years, the group who had once stood against Keijen Blade has made a dangerous gambit - they've decided to leave the Knighthood, knowing they may never be allowed to return. With them, have gone Sam and Dean Winchester, and Faith Lehane. Their destination? A distant monastery overlooking the village of Krozna, in the Ural Mountains. This hidden location was home to many Shadowkind who did not wish to deal with the prejudice that their appearance might force upon them out in the world, particularly in Russia. Wynn had apparently established a location here for Knights that broke the rules of the Knighthood so extremely to reflect upon their crimes, or for those whose powers made it impossible for them to live out in civilized society.

This monastery of misfits is run by a man named Mikhail Kalachnik, a willing exile who volunteered for the position, a man vouched for as trustworthy by both Jack Chessing and Finnick Odair. It is here that the former Knights will set up a base of operations from which they intend to rescue Rafael Giovanni, research a way to stop Keijen Blade, and take him down once and for all, along with the evil Mind Master.

But first, they must get to know the exiled Knights with whom they will be sharing this hideout...

[Once everyone goes their separate ways for the moment, Sam already knows there's a conversation coming. It's been long overdue, honestly, and while he's wanted to frankly talk about some things since before they ever even left London, it simply hadn't happened yet.

Now it needed too, especially after his last chat with Rose was interrupted and with what they had in front of them now.

I assume they'll pile into Rose and Dean's room so they're sure to be alone. Sam waits until the door closes before he drags a hand through his hair, finding himself unable to sit down just yet.]

So, what are we thinking here?

[ Even after Rose closes the door behind them, she lingers for several moments. Listening for the sound of conversation or footsteps too near to their room (Lis 28) before nodding an 'all clear' to Dean and moving to lean against one wall of the small room. ]

I think... [ Rose breaking the silence, again that grim expression of hers fixing on Sam. ] That maybe you should consider what Dean suggested.

[ Okay, so it was more like an order than a suggestion but being the buffer between the brothers may require some creative interpretation and language, folks. ]

At the very least, hear him out.

I know this ain't what you wanna hear, but putting you in the line of fire of Iscariot is literally the stupidest move we could make.

Actually, I don't completely disagree with you.

[He knows full well it's probably stupid. But it also isn't the first time they've done something stupid in order to do the right thing.]

But I also don't want half our squad to get killed because we decided it was too dangerous to help save someone they care about. [They needed muscle. The three of them were some of the best muscle they had, Rose in particular.

And he didn't want Rose to go alone.]

I gotta know, though. If we're gonna do all this, try to save the world from a god, and we actually survive, what are the chances that I'm gonna stay hidden from these guys considering there's also some super scary demon involved? They've gotta have their eyes all over it, right?

[Rose listens to Sam's words, her arm folded across her chest as he pleads his case so to speak but when all is said and done, she looks no less grave than she had been when they entered the room.]

What if your presence could be exactly what puts us in Iscariot's crosshairs? They're not going to stop long enough to listen to us explain that oh, him? He's not actually a minion from hell that was another guy.

[ dean listens to sam's argument as well, lips pursed together at the logic of it, but glances over at rose in clear agreement with that line of reasoning ] It's too big a risk.

Only way I would even think of letting you near them is if you got a face transplant.

There's spells for that.

[Illusions, magic, whatever. Someone's gotta have something like that one them, right?

Still, he got his own question as he looks at them, eyebrows lifted.]

What about you two? You planning on going? 'Cause you're not leaving me behind.

[ Dark eyes flicker in Dean’s direction, something close to an apology lurking there before she speaks. ]

Iscariot don’t even know who I am. [ As if that made it different somehow. ]

[ see this deep line gouged in his forehead? it's like permanent now ] Well, if either of you are goin', I'm goin'.

And if both of you go, you can't honestly think I'm just gonna stay here.

[ Her lips set into a grim line, Rose is smart enough to know that this falls onto her; that she could just say she won't go and then they could be sure that none of them would be in danger.

None of them are good at sitting on the sidelines, clearly.]

If, and only if, Alainn or Kat can magic together a good disguise for you. [Her attention mostly on Sam, but the way her gaze flickers to Dean at the end there, it's clear he's not the only Winchester she's worried about.]

[ it's clear he doesn't like it. but as he looks over and meets rose's eyes, there's an agreement there with what she's saying. neither of them like it, really, but it's better than sam trying to just follow along without a disguise ]

And one that's gonna stick.

[For what it's worth, Sam doesn't like it either. But they haven't liked much about their situation in a long time, even less so now.

It was the right thing to do.]

Deal.

[ Even if they've come to an agreement that nobody is exactly happy about, it's an agreement all the same and that alone sees some of the tension ease in her shoulders. ]

Iscariot aren't the only ones we need to worry about. [At this point the number of enemies they have seems to outnumber their friends, okay.] If there's even a hint of the Mind Master or Blade being there, you can't take them on. Not even if one of us is in danger.

[And her gaze slides to Dean at that, because if anyone would be suicidally stupid in a situation like that? It would be him. ~~Pot/Kettle~~.]

She's right. We don't even know what kind of powers Blade might have now, and the Mind Master could probably out you in a second.

So I've heard.

[He crosses his arms over his chest.]

I'm not going to go running in guns blazing if that's what you're worried about. It's about saving Rafael, not taking down a god.

That's not what I'm worried about, Sam. [Her lips press into a thin line as she debates saying more but after another long look in his direction, she appears to decide against it.]

There are a few things we need to discuss before we take off, though.

[Another glance in Sam's direction, only this time she looks grim.]

[ that's not dean's worry either, and that's clear on his face, but he just lets out a small sigh and looks to rose, letting her take the lead on this ]

[Sam's gonna go out on a limb and assume she's talking about him. Her grim look kind of solidifies that for him.]

She's talking about me. [He drags his hands through his hair.] I mentioned to Rose that after we get through this next thing, I want to talk to Tia about psionics, make sure I've got a handle on them. We agreed that we should talk about it with you. After everything with...you know...

[He winces.]

I need a second opinion. A better one. [Better than you-know-who. He taps his temple once.] She released the lock on my brain. I gotta figure out what that means now and what I've gotta do to make sure I'm the one with the reins here. And if that means practicing, that's what I've gotta do.

[Rose's focus is fully on Dean before Sam can even open his mouth. Because she knows, she knows how this is likely to go but it was a conversation that had to happen and it had to come from Sam.

It's what she only wished had been done for her a thousand times over and god knows more hiding shit wasn't going to get them anywhere.]

You're sayin' you wanna what: keep learning how to use those freak powers?

I'm saying they're here to stay no matter what else happens. Ignoring it isn't going to make it go away.

[He's trying REALLY hard here not to start a fight, but the word 'freak' is triggering him a little.]

I'm not talking about throwing them around for any old thing. I'm talking about figuring out what to do next, getting help from people we can actually trust, and learning how to control it so that it can't control me.

[He shakes his head.]

It doesn't help that the stuff we're going up against? A well-placed bullet isn't going to cut it.

[Rose cringes inwardly, a slight grimace touching her lips. Dean's choice of words making her twitch enough that she didn't even need to look at Sam to guess what was going through his head. Trying to correct Dean's wording, wasn't going to help matters any, however, and she exhales the breath she's holding once he starts to speak without losing his temper.]

Neither will your abilities, Sam.

[She holds up her hand before either of them can respond, trying to make her point clear, first.]

You can't make wanting to learn what you can and can't do about that. It has to be about you. Not Hell or what's coming, but because you need it.

[That was at least something she thought Dean could understand. Maybe. She hoped... It would help if she was sold on the whole thing.]

[ it's actually the right tack to take, because his concern for sam is definitely spiked by the comment. he turns his gaze to his brother, scrutinizing him ] What are you afraid might happen? Worst case scenario, if you don't do this.

[Sam's silent for a little while before he finally answers.]

I've got a couple of them, actually. [Worse case scenarios.] I lose control and I end up hurting someone, or worse, I hurt one of you guys. [A beat.] If I don't control them, then they control me whether I want them to or not, and I've had enough of that. I can't hate myself anymore.

In London, we've watched all these things we considered monsters take what they've been dealt and turned it into something bigger than us, you know? I can hate what did this to me, but I can't hate what it's made me. It's gonna eat me alive. But taking it and doing something good with it? It's the only way I can live with it.
