Well, he didn’t expect to be approached on Promethea during his ‘retirement’. Hell he had no idea who the hell this could even be, probably a local...
One seeking answers on why Atlas hadn’t come back still.
Bounty hunter was something he could be wary of. Atlas had put a bounty on his head before going down when they’d received word that he’d planned on quitting after the Pandoran fiasco.
Besides those two... What the hell were the chances it was a Lancemen? Next to zero...
An old enemy of Atlas? That was more likely.
He’d better talk to the guy though it seemed they knew he was there and wanted to talk with him on something. So after a drag on his cigar he breathed it out slowly before raising a brow at the other guy. “Can I help you?”

Wincest 34 💜
[Hello, my dear! I hope you don't mind that I delved into the Chicago Verse for this one. <3]
#34. to pretend.
*
It's a tough day in physical therapy.
None of the exercises come easy to Dean, and what's more, he had to be up by 6 AM to make the 7 AM appointment. Sam would ordinarily quip at Dean that if he didn't want to go to PT, then he should keep up with his exercises at home.
But seeing Dean wince and growl in pain during basic exercises and stretches hits Sam square in the chest. He hates seeing Dean in pain, but they both know--from experience--that if Dean doesn't move, the pain will only get worse.
Today's unlucky physical therapist is Devon, a lovely young lady who could probably find easy work being Zendaya's stunt double. Dean hasn't snapped at her... yet. She's been exceptionally patient with him, and has refrained from pushing him too hard. But Sam knows Dean could snap at any moment. This is partially why Sam came with today--to smooth things over if/when Dean needs it.
And to provide support. Though Dean won't ever admit that he needs Sam to be at his PT appointments. That's fine with Sam. They each have their own security blankets of denial.
"Easy," Devon says, keeping her voice as calm as a dinosaur trainer. "Remember to breathe."
Sam watches Dean grit his teeth during each clam exercise. Clams involve lying down on his side and pushing his top leg up. They look like a terrible ordeal, but Sam won't ever admit that.
I hate this so fucking much.
I know, it'll be over soon.
Not soon enough, she's killing me.
Ask for a break.
And extend this torture session? I think not. Fuck!
"Ow!" Dean blurts out. "I'm done, done with these clams--"
Before Dean can launch into a tirade, Devon pats his thigh and nods. "You're done. You did well." She hands him a red stretchy band.
Dean reluctantly sits up. He slips his feet and legs into the band, until the band sits mid-thigh. His job is to open and close his legs using the band--twenty times.
The phone up front rings and the receptionist asks for Devon to come over.
"Call of duty," Devon sighs. She looks at Dean, then at Sam. "Can you count for him? I'll be right back. Here. Sit in the chair of honor." She stands and motions for Sam to sit in front of Dean. "You two just count to twenty."
Puh. 'Just count to twenty,' she says. Like it's so damn easy.
If you do it in little pieces, it's not so bad, Dean.
"I can't take advice from someone who jogs five miles a day," Dean moans, squeezing his eyes shut. He starts with two stretches, then peeks his eyes open. "For pleasure, no less."
Sam sighs. He keeps up his exercise regimen because it makes him happy. The endorphins are worth it. His mood is different when he exercises. He feels a certain sense of satisfaction after a good run. Apparently, not everyone thinks this way.
"Let me help," Sam offers. "Just keep your eyes closed."
"That's easy," Dean grumbles. "Eyes closed. Now what?"
"Now count."
"Duh, Professor, that's what I was doing--mmph!"
Sam leans forward and smacks a kiss on Dean's lips.
One.
Dean whimpers and bites his bottom lip. Two. He successfully completes one whole stretch.
Three. Sam kisses him yet again.
Four. Brow furrowed, Dean struggles, but succeeds.
Five. Sam licks into Dean.
Six. Dean is anywhere but here.
Seven. Encouragement comes in the form of a deeper, longer kiss. Sam even nips at Dean's bottom lip--daring him to continue.
Eight. Dean opens his mouth a little more and tosses the reigns to Sam.
Nine. Sam takes control over every kiss.
Ten. Dean shudders.
Eleven. Sam tosses a picture out there--the front seat of the Impala--and works to shift their attention. They're sitting on the Impala's leather seats, side by side, with the radio on. There's Springsteen in the background and the windows start to fog up.
They can play pretend--they're anywhere but here.
By number fifteen, they're basically making out, with Sam's hands over Dean's hands on the edge of the table.
By twenty, Sam needs a breather in order to... collect himself. He bumps their noses together and opens his eyes. No more Impala. But Dean's eyes are still shut, which means he's still in pain, but dealing with it, and working on coming back to reality.
Sam sends over a wave of calm and relaxation.
Little by little, Dean opens his eyes. He looks at Sam with a vulnerability in his eyes Sam both hates and loves to see. Sam runs his right hand through Dean's hair. He tugs on Dean's left ear.
Two steps away from their station, Devon clears her throat.
"Little unorthodox," she comments, sneaking a smile towards Sam. "But I think y'all counted to twenty."
"Twenty-five," Dean says, loosening his grip on the table.
Sam nods. "Twenty-five."
Devon charts this. She wonders out loud if maybe Sam could accompany Dean next week. Just to see if a certain technique will work again.
When Sam brings up concerns over her coworkers and other patients bearing witness to this new 'technique,' Devon merely smiles.
"That's what these curtains are for," she says, drawing one over her shoulder. "Privacy."
Later on, Dean decides he likes Devon.
Sam decides he likes her, too.

Blue Horizon, the actual name of "Another Sky" verse, will be a solo venture!
I'll announce it early here since Tumblr is smaller, but I'm going to embark on a self-publishing path for "Another Sky"/Blue Rize, which were and are the nickname for Blue Horizon.
I'll be retiring "Another Sky" from now on! The series will officially be called "Blue Horizon." My personal nickname for it thus-far has been "Blue Rize." That isn't the name of the first book, which I will wait to reveal when I can drop a cover reveal.
I have Webtoon and Tapas parked for the webcomic I have planned.
Here's the summary for the webcomic:
Shifting topics!
[The triplet brothers, Raj + Antonio + Fernando. Their friends Alia + Layla + Alejandro below.]
The epic science fantasy first novel of Blue Horizon is complete, but although I have it pretty ship-shape, I'm going to make certain I have more revisions done, so it might take a while longer to drop, but not the likes of 2 or 3 years.
[Layla, Alia, Antonio and Alejandro!]
[Khaleel and Leo! The six of them make up the "Main 6."]
I'll try to get the light novel ship-shape as well so that I can drop them both around the same time!
It'll still take time, but I parked the names for Blue Horizon on Webtoons and Tapas! I put many of the early artwork as "Chapter 1" on there, as I've seen some people do.
Here it is on Webtoon if anyone wants to follow very early.
And here it is on Tapas if anyone wants to follow there very early.

Mun note; MY AGENDA BEGINS YEAHHHHH
Prompt from; here! }
Damn it all, he’d been convinced to leave Promethea. Just to one other planet.
Just one.
And of course it had been a planet that was in the cold climate at the moment. But he could handle it, he’d been on so many other planets this one cold-climate planet wouldn’t do anything to him!..
If only he hadn’t of gotten a damn cold from this.
A curse, really. And the fact Judas was here wasn’t exactly helping the embarrassment he was feeling.
But he wouldn’t sneeze in front of him! That would be so weak of him!..
Of course he couldn’t have such a basic thing. And when he sneezed, well he made a point to not look at the other man. Because his sneeze could be considered... Cute. “Don’t you say god damn anything about that.” With a sniffle.
What a damn curse...
