the talon } { the thrill of the kill

[ilove_atallman]

Ruby was pissed off.

She was pissed off and she was frustrated, and there wasn’t anything she could do about it. Sam needed to stop fighting her and start helping her, but until that happened, she wasn’t going to get anywhere on getting Lucifer out. She knew it would take time for Sam to get over his brother’s death, but they were running out of time. Dean had already broken the first seal and now they didn’t have long before the angels figured out what they had done and went to try and fix it.

She needed to make sure she could keep Sam under her thumb. Sex was a start, pulling demons dry was a start, but she needed to get him drinking, and he wasn’t succumbing to that as easily as she would have liked. So when she started to hit that frustrated stage harder than warranted dealing with Sam, she went to take it out elsewhere. Sam needed to be handled with kid gloves.

Demons did not.

She found a collection of them outside a small farm town in Kansas, and by the time she was finished with them, they were a collection of bodies, and Ruby felt a little better. She lit them all on fire so they wouldn’t be found, and then moved on to the nearest coffee shop to wait for Sam. She had left him a note to meet her later, and now all she had to do was wait. She settled onto a chair with a Danish to wait and try to regain the drill sergeant attitude that she knew Sam needed. Even if she was really starting to get sick of it.

"The newspaper?" She tipped her head to the side. "What do you usually cover?"

[captainplaid]

He chuckled. "I'm not so much a reporter as a copy boy. I've done a few obits, but nothing really substantial."

[ilove_atallman]

"But you're planning on working your way up, I assume?" Reporters usually were the go getter types. She wouldn't be surprised if he did.

[captainplaid]

He nodded. "I'd rather be out in the field than stuck behind a desk." Part of him would much rather be back on the farm, but the Planet was where he could do the most good.

"A doer. The world doesn't seem to have a whole lot of those anymore." It was a complicated world -- she was glad she didn't have to actually pay attention to it. But then again, there was a reason that her side was going to win the war.

"Cows don't milk themselves, and neither do sources." It was an awkward way of putting it, but he thought it worked.

[ilove_atallman]

It was a little awkward, and that shows on Ruby's face, but she'll humor him for now. "So you think being a reporter is a lot like working on a farm?"

[captainplaid]

"Both involve going out into the field and working long, hard hours." So yes, he did.

[ilove_atallman]

She smirked a bit at that. "I guess you have a point."

Clark smiled nice and wide before taking another sip from his cup. He hadn't made her smile exactly, but a smirk was enough to make him happy.

She glances around for a moment, before looking down at her watch. Sam was blowing her off. Go figure. She takes a breath before getting up to go track him down. "Anyway. I gotta go. But ... nice meeting you, Farm Boy."

And she won't give him much of a chance to respond before she disappears into the crowd and is gone.
