Room 317, Monday Afternoon

[multiplez]

Z had no children. But after a run to Turtle and Canary, Z had Cheetos and candy. She also had stolen pixie extra credit booze in her sock drawer, music, and an open door. Any kids who came in her room were so getting sugared up. She was nice like that. Their parents probably wouldn't think so, but what did Z care? She was kid-free!

(Open!))

There was someone she hadn't yet seen in Fandom who she *needed* to say hi to. Never mind that back home she sees a lot more of Aunt Z than any of her Daddies' other friends from school. Aunt Z is Aunt Z and she's not passing up an opportunity to visit, thank you very much.

Which is why she, and one of her Daddies, and the kitten (appropriately named Payback) are making their way to room 3-1-7 and poking their heads in the doorway.

"Aunt Z Aunt Z Aunt Z! Hi hi HI!" Bronwyn says excitedly. The only reason she doesn't run over and immediately tackleglomp Z is the kitten she's verrrrry carefully holding on to.

[multiplez]

"Hi! Um. Okay, wait," said Z, "which one are you?"

[notlostyouare]

"Silly! I'm me! Bronwyn!"

"Hey, Z," Bridge gives his teammate a wave.

[multiplez]

"Of course! Bronwyn! Hi!" Look, Z was a little busy with her horde last year. "And...you brought a kitten!"

"Hey," she added to Bronwyn's dad. "Did the kitten come with the kid?"

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"No, the kitten was the kind of special delivery that comes in the mail, not through a portal," Bridge replies. "Parker sent it," he adds with an eyeroll.

[notlostyouare]

"She, not it," Bronwyn corrects. "She's Payback!" she informs Z proudly.

[multiplez]

"I'm so glad I've never angered Parker," Z said. "She certainly looks like Payback!" she told Bronwyn. "Have you been running your dads ragged?"

[notlostyouare]

"Uh huh! I said hi to Melly who's sposed to be a baby but she isn't and we were gonna hatch kittens from a jar but I guess it's a good thing we didn't really, then I meeted Lulu and she made me eggs benefits and there was some guy who was there 'cause he was not my daddy and then I gotta have Passover cupcakes with daddies cause we couldn't have reg'lar cupcakes cause Passover, and then we went to the park and then I wanted ice cream but I finded Caritas instead and there was Uncle Anders and Pandora and Artemis and Matt and Maddie and Victoria! Victoria and Maddie aren't even *borned* yet but they're here AND there was a Power Ranger too and he said the way I got borned was weird and I said NO it's science and science is cool and he wanted to know if I'm 'lated to anyone named Reed and I said I'm not and he said good cause then I can't clone Thor and I said I knows someone who can clone themselfs and then there was ice creams and then Payback got delivered and Daddy said it was Holy Crap o'Clock in the morning and did you know kitties didn't like pizza?"

[multiplez]

Z blinked and let herself take a moment to process that and wonder when the heck this kid breathed. "I did know kitties don't like pizza. You have to feed kitties kitty food. And you're right, you do know someone who can clone themselves," she added with a grin.

[notlostyouare]

"That's YOU!" Bronwyn cheers, handing Payback over to Bridge so she *can* do a running tackleglomp.

[multiplez]

"It is!" Z agreed, right before she found herself tackleglomped. "Oof."

[notlostyouare]

"Hi hi hi!" Bronwyn says. Yes, again. "Whatcha doin'? Sides from hugging me, I know you're doing that, but what were ya doing before we innerupted you?"

[multiplez]

"I went shopping. I have candy for you," Z said happily. "And something special for your dad."

[weechesters.livejournal.com]

Sparky was heading upstairs to find her dad again, but peeking in open doors on her way. "Hi hi!"

[multiplez]

"Hi," said Z. "You want some candy? I do not meant that in a creepy way," she hastened to add.

[weechesters.livejournal.com]

"I'm not 'sposed to," Sparky said, taking a step in the door, thinking hard, "But, my daddy will beat you up if you're a bad lady. And mostly people here are nice." She grinned at Z and bounced on her toes. "Oh! You eat a piece first! So I know it's okay!" Then she stopped bouncing and finally said, "I'm Sparky Winchester, and I'm visiting my daddy Dean. Hi!"

[multiplez]

"Hi, Sparky," said Z. "I know your daddy. I'm Z Delgado." She picked out a piece of candy and asked, "This one look okay?"

[weechesters.livejournal.com]

"That looks good," Sparky said solemnly, and smiled brightly at her. "I like that name. Z. Z is for zebra, and zipper, and zing! And yay, are you friends with my daddy now?" She bounced over and held out her hand, sternly saying, "You eat half and I'll eat half."

[multiplez]

"I am friends with your daddy," Z confirmed. Then she took half of the piece of candy and popped it in her mouth, chewed, and swallowed. "See?"

[weechesters.livejournal.com]

"Okay. Thank-you-Z-Delgado," Sparky said quickly, and popped her half a candy in her mouth. "My mommy is Charlie McGee!" she said around her bite. "She's a reporter. She's not here now, though."

[multiplez]

"I know Charlie," Z said. "She used to go to school here. How's she doin'?" Pretty well, Z guessed.

[weechesters.livejournal.com]

"She's good! She has a column on the internet and she writes and we travel with daddy in the Impala." Sparky grinned at her. "We get to see lots of places, and I knew where I was when the portal-thing dropped me here, 'cause we visit Grandma and Grampa sometimes. And sometimes mommy and daddy kill bad things together, but I'm not allowed yet." She pouted. "Too short."

[multiplez]

The bloodthirstiness of Fandom kids sometimes worried Z... "So you eat all your vegetables so you can grow big and tall, right?"

[weechesters.livejournal.com]

"Yup yup yup!" Sparky nodded hard, bouncing on her toes. "And practice fire with mommy, and do my lessons, and drink my milk. That's very important. What are you going to be when you grow up?" Sparky wasn't sure, but maybe Z was grown up now, almost. "A monster fighter?" Just like all the other grown ups she knew.

[multiplez]

"Sort of," Z told her. "I'm going to be a Power Ranger, and fight bad aliens."
