Comfort Crowd Δ SPN [ 1 ]

090. ONE YEAR LATER

The first night at Lisa's, she gave the Winchesters some food. The only cooked thing she had was meatloaf -- which both girls hate -- but Dean made them eat it anyway.

There's only three bedrooms so the girls are sharing one which they don't really mind since that's what they do at Bobby's and they've been sleeping in the same motel rooms for the past five years.

The girls spent most of their time in their room, not wanting to be around anybody else, even Dean.

Lisa let them decorate the room how they want so there's a bunch of drawings and pictures taped to the wall -- like what they do at Bobby's.

They don't have much room decor, but Lisa got them some cutesy things neither of them really like. But they forced a smile and said "thank you". Their beds were originally on opposite sides of the room, but Ophelia used her powers and pushed the beds together, knowing they'd both need a lot of comfort in the upcoming weeks. Especially Libby.

Dean made Ophelia stop using her powers since they were a "normal family" and normal families don't have kids with psychic powers. Ophelia still uses her powers when she's alone or just with Libby. Just for little stuff like turning the lights off or getting something from the other side of the room.

The girls have to go to school and unfortunately barely see each other given the three grade difference. They don't even pass each other in the halls since their school has 5th graders with the rest of the middle schoolers and Libby is stuck in elementary school with the other second graders and the other young grades.

Libby talks to people in her class, but doesn't really have friends. Ophelia has friends she sees in school, but she doesn't make any effort to see them outside of school, even if she does get invited to stuff.

Libby and Ophelia are both still plagued by nightmares, but Libby has much worse reactions when waking up. She'll often have to be forced awake because she's screaming and sobbing. Ophelia often wakes to Libby hitting her and she knows the younger girl doesn't mean it, but it still made Ophelia put a bit of space between their beds.

Dean often calms Libby down from nightmares, but he sticks the responsibility to Ophelia more frequently. Ophelia doesn't completely mind since she's been doing it for years, but she does miss full nights of sleep. She wishes she had Cas' power to knock people out.

It's been a year since Sam died and the three remaining Winchesters became normal. The girls still much rather be living at Bobby's. Both girls currently prefer him over Dean. Whenever Libby would get nightmares after Dean died and Sam left, Bobby would comfort her most nights, Ophelia rarely having to do it.

Libby doesn't mind Ophelia comforting her, but she wants to be able to feel safe with a legal guardian or parent. She doesn't have either of her parents and her guardian doesn't do much. But she knows Bobby would be staying up with her as long as she needed it.

Ophelia gets jealous that Dean spends so much time with Ben when she thinks her and Libby need it more. They did lose Sam, too. Dean isn't the only one grieving. But now they basically lost Dean to the apple pie life, the girls just stuck there to deal with it.

Even when the five all go out or eat dinner, the girls still feel like they're both intruding on something that they shouldn't be there for.

A few times, Ophelia's jealousy had spiked which would cause her powers to basically glitch and things would go flying. All that got her was clean up duty and a weekend grounding. She tried to tell Dean that it was an accident, but he was so mad he wouldn't listen to her.

The girls are currently in the kitchen and doing their homework when Lisa walks in.

"Let's go, girls. Us and Ben are gonna go to the movies." Lisa informs.
