There was a boom, followed by a minor fireball, a charred classroom door, and two kids running as fast as their still-developing legs could carry them.
Two children left to their own devices in a magical castle was dangerous enough. But these children, thanks to the magic of special brownies, were Stephanie Brown and Dean Winchester. Hopped up on M&Ms. With soon-to-be-discovered vigilante-equipment at their disposal.
It would come as a surprise to none who knew them that since leaving the Great Hall, our stalwart mini heroes had managed to set three antique tapestries on fire and knocked over an entire display of Medieval Suits of Armor in a domino effect Steph was going to brag about forever.
This was all in addition to said explosion, which Dean and Steph were still running from, taking the time to occasionally attempt to poke and/or kick one another in the shins/shoulders/any area that looked pokeable and/or kickable.
"You are gonna be in so much trouble," Steph informed Dean, clutching onto her Big Girl Backpack. "This is all your fault."

"He's not a hobo! Cops can't be hobos." Hm. Could cops be hobos? They could pretty much do whatever they wanted. But who would want to be a hobo? And OH GEEZ. Now there were two of them. Two mind-reading-ninja-cops who were possibly hobos! "It's a bust," she screamed, scrambling out of the pillow pile, and rushing to shove her Big Girl supplies in her backpack so she could properly skidattle. Steph didn't remember doing anything that was bad enough to be bust-worthy, but you could never be sure!
...hey. Speaking of her supplies. "Where's my shiny throwing things?" How could she make a proper getaway without her Shiny Objects?

No answer to the lack of knives. Best to just distract the girl from the topic. "And hobos are usually in groups. Of three, I think. Maybe more. But, anyway, they also like boxcars and to eat out of cans." TV was educational!

As easily as if he were going for a dive, he jumped neatly from the rafter and sailed down to the floor. He landed on his feet with a quiet 'oof,' or at least he tried to; the pillows made balance kind of difficult, and he wound up toppling forward onto his knees. But unharmed, anyway!
He sprang to his feet, clapping his hands together. "I'm not a hobo, no," he told Dean. "I'm still a Mountie. Now, I heard something about cookies?"

Date: 2007-07-03 01:19 pm (UTC)But, wait, huh? Had that chick just mentioned one of the magic words? Dean's eyes automatically flung - yes, flung - sideways, towards Lily, brightening with a flash of excitement. And holy crapy look at that the hobo cop guy was jumping down from, like, the freaking ceiling. That guy was nuts! It was cool! This was the best day ever! Even with the brain loss!
Wait, he wasn't a hobo? Second best day ever.
Besides, he was a bit distracted by something, the thing that Lily had said earlier that was suddenly sending the hair up on the back of his neck, rather than the excitement he had shown before. Cookies? Dad barely even let him and Sammy out on Halloween. And he had to inspect all of their candy and stuff. Even the pre-packaged ones. Cookies... those were, man, baked right there. And unpackaged. And this chick could slip in Dran-O any time she felt like it.
Stupid! Stupid, stupid! He should've noticed that earlier! His stupid brains got in the way! "My dad says to not take food from strangers," he automatically prompted Lily in return, speaking a little too fast for his own good, eyes widening a bit up towards the woman.

Date: 2007-07-03 09:45 pm (UTC)"My dad says you have to take what you want. But then he gets mad when I take his uti..uta...belt with neat toys." She scratched her head. "Adults are weird. Anyway, they're not strangers. They're Lily and Ninja Cop." Ninja Cop was a muuuuch better name than Benton, she decided.
She linked arms with Dean (which was hard, 'cause he was still Tall, so she had to stand on her tip-toes) and looked and Lily and Ninja Cop. "We'll help you make cookies. And we'd also like some milk to go with them, please."
She said please, so they had to yes.

Date: 2007-07-04 04:17 am (UTC)She held out her hand. "I'm Lily Evans. I'm a professor here. And I'll eat the first cookie, just so you can be sure, yeah?"
Turning to Steph, she grinned. "Oh, absolutely. Milk is essential. What are cookies without milk?" Nodding towards her back, she arched an eyebrow. "Want a ride?" She'd never gotten to give Harry a piggy-back ride, but she remembered her dad doing it, carting her out of the zoo when she was too tired and stuffed with ice cream to walk. For a second her throat tightened, but Lily's expression only got soft and a kind of distant ache shone in her eyes. Steeler had wandered over and chuffed softly at them, snuffling Lily's face, and then Steph's and Dean's in turn. "Not you, you lazy git," she grinned, scratching behind the dog's ear.

Date: 2007-07-04 06:46 am (UTC)Turning back to the kids, Fraser discovered that he apparently had a new nickname. And a child who listened to his father -- wasn't that nice? Fraser, not seeing the irony in that train of thought, smiled brightly down at Dean. "You can call me Constable Fraser, son, if you like. Or Ninja Cop. Whichever one suits you. And I'll take the second cookie, how's that?"
Diefenbaker, who had been off playing with Steeler, chose this moment to wander back as well. Fraser glanced down at him and smirked with fond exasperation. "And I'm sure Diefenbaker here will be happy to take the third, just to be on the safe side." Dief barked an affirmative. Fraser rolled his eyes, but patted him lightly. "Now, shall we? They won't bake themselves." He stood, adjusting his uniform, brushing off the dust on his knees.

Date: 2007-07-04 02:36 pm (UTC)This chick's name was Lily? Right. She said that before. ...Yeah, he probably wasn't going to remember. Right now, he was still fighting the random, stupid urges to call her 'Mom'. GOD, she reminded him so much of...
Shut up, Dean. Cookies were at hand. Dean hesitated, shifting from foot to foot and chewing on his lip. "You sure you're not gonna poison them or something? Because I know how to use a gun!" And he did! He was good at shooting soda cans! Not that they were soda cans and not that Dean had a gun right now, but the thought counted. "And I could totally take you guys!"
Okay. The warning was out there. No stupid adults would be thinking of putting Dran-O in his cookies. On that note. "Is Constable your first name? Because that's kinda mean of your parents." He kept inching towards Fraser, centimeter by centimeter. Hey, the guy was wicked cool. And, you know, had that Y chromosome. Therefore, they could be best friends.

Date: 2007-07-04 06:39 pm (UTC)Awesome. She wasn’t quite as tall as Ninja Cop, but he was both a ninja and a cop (hence the name!) so no one could really expect her to keep up with that.
"I don’t think dogs are supposed to have chocolate," she advised. Why, yes. Stephanie Brown was cautioning against junk food. 12 years from now, she would be absolutely horrified.
"He also knows how to pick locks," she added helpfully. "So if you're hiding poison in a safe, we could still find it." She cupped her hand around Lily's ear, and whispered: "I don't think you're poisoning us, but Dean is not very smart and needs to hear good stuff about himself." Hey, cookies were at stake. You had to play both sides of the fence!
