Supernatural Death Note

Chapter Sixty-Nine: Dean Learns to Take It Slow

Notes:

Have you ever gotten caught up in something, enjoying it so much you forget to stop when you should?

(See the end of the chapter for more notes .)

"Speaking of, Near will be observing only for a while," Watari told them. "But L will also be joining Matt and Mello.

"Near was badly hurt. He shouldn't be trying any of that. Are the boys as good as L?"

The older man nodded. "Very close in skill. If you wish, I believe Matt and Mello are planning a sparring exercise in a while. Since both practice different styles, they enjoy working together to try to improve on their individual training."

Dean sat back down. He looked a little pale.

"Are you OK, Dean?" Sam looked at his brother in concern.

"Sam, what do we teach people who have the mastery of at least a fourth or fifth degree black belt in their particular martial art forms? I'm not even one hundred percent, Sam. Now we can take them out and show them how to track, certain tricks for killing different creatures, but we can't teach them how to fight."

"We know street fighting.. dirty fighting. They probably have no experience with that."

"Yeah, and the killing techniques Dad taught us."

"But we have enough control to stop. So we can teach them that."

"Yeah, Sam, we can. I just want to know that Matt and Mello have enough control to stop."

"Then we test them," he pointed out.

"Okay, we test all three of them. L should not be left out. He's smart, talented, and can be aggressive, but does he have the street smarts. We're gonna have to set up for it somehow. I wonder if they have an underground garage or something here. We need some hunter friends or someone to be able to help us set up for attacks. They need to know street fighting before they learn monsters. It would be better if there was a ghost town we could go to and them not know what's going on. Being taken by surprise would show us their real capabilities but L can't know. Watari, can you help us with that?"

"Give me a day to think on it and we'll go from there. I do believe setting up a few scenarios for the group to train as a team is a good idea. I could have Sam and Near on the observation posts so that you four can get used to having them guide you."

"Similar observation setup as the last one? Mikes and earpieces? We may need to do the scenarios in different areas. We don't know what she will be trying or where she will be. She really loves being a little girl but she's been using very beautiful women lately."

Watari nodded. "I think I can come up with ideas and training grounds. Better means of mikes and ear buds as well. This way they can't come off during fighting."

"That sounds good. Bobby needs to go to demonology for the time being and have them prepared for that. I've got the knife and L is working on the colt. We can do this, but we have to do it soon before she finds a way into that church. She won't give up. I sure as hell don't want her looking for Sammy. The sigils on the ribs should prevent that, I hope."

"According to Bobby and L, that church is practically impossible for anyone to get into. Castiel even vouched for that."

"Thanks for that info. The past months are a blur in places and it's like coming out of a fog."

"That's what I'm here for. I'm more than just a caretaker," he said with a smile. "Now I'll get to work on some plans with Bobby as it's a team building exercise so you and the others won't know about the situation. No one has an unfair advantage."
