CYPHER

Liquid teams

Dean was still drawing when someone's boots stomped in front of him .

He stopped what he was doing and looked up to see May .

She looked frustrated .

" What are you doing , May ? "

She groaned and fell back into the bed , bouncing a little before her body finally settled .

" If I had known that you'd take a fancy to smarty pants over there , I might not have saved him ".

Dean listened to her as he stared at his drawing .

He had drawn every single part of the autobot separately , expanding them on paper and highlighting everything he knew about each parts .

He looked over to May and shook his head , tsking loudly .

" With the way you ran out to save him , it was quite glaring that you did not care what kind of person he could be . And that's the kind of person you are , someone who acts before thinking ".

She threw one of the pillows at him and he dodged it .

" Is this the book that was taken yesterday ? You know , by Trevor and his friends ? "

Dean looked up to find that she had positioned herself at the edge of the bed as she stared down at what he was doing .

" Yes , it is ".

He looked up yet again when she remained silent , she was looking at him expectantly , she wanted to know more .

Dean sighed .

" I got the book instead of some fancy weapon that everyone got , so , I have to figure out why I got a book for the same rate of a weapon ".

She drew closer and studied his illustrations of the autobots .

" Hmmm ....Are these drawings of the steels ?"

" Yes , not complete drawings just drawings of each of their components to help me understand how everything works individually".

She pointed at the paper that Dean was kneeling down on , the core of everything he was doing and possibly their way out of here .

" What's that ? You drew it extra careful and you keep glancing back at it ".

Dean smiled as he lifted the paper up into the air , so he could look at it like a blueprint , maybe he would understand better .

" It's the core of the autobots , it's like the heart, it's the reason the autobots work so beautifully and whoever translated these drawings into the autobot is a f*****g genius".

Dean knew it wasn't his father .

His father might have come up with the plans and made everything theoretically possible without putting it to practice but he didn't build the autobots .

His father would never do something so unethical .

" You sound like a f*****g p*****t ".

Dean laughed softly , he must have sounded too invested .

Blade walked in and sat on the bed too .

" I'm so bored , I've cleaned everything I own twice already ".

May snickered , covering her mouth .

" You forgot to clean your body too or don't you own that too ? "

Blade rolled his eyes .

" Shut up , you snoring elephant ".

May gasped loudly , her eyes widening as she looked over at Dean and raised her hands , shaking them back and forth .

" He's lying , I so do not snore ".

Blade snorted and imitated a very scary snore.

May kicked him off the bed and jumped on him , they began to hit each other .

" You snore like a freaking gnome ".

" You are a lying ass ".

" And you're a snoring ass ".

They kept bantering back and forth while Dean watched them .

Blade must have been in his late thirties and there was eighteen years old May and they were just full on wrestling , it was so weird that it wasn't even comical .

" You both look like a pimp and his girl after an argument ".

They both paused their fighting and turned to glare at Dean , Dean gulped .

At that moment , Jade ran inside and Dean had never been more grateful for a distraction .

" Dean !!! "

He stopped running when he saw Blade laying over May in a precarious situation .

May pushed Blade off and the sound his head made when it hit the floor had to be the 'boink' sound Dean had read about in children books .

She walked over to where Jade stood at the entrance of the room and began to circle him .

" Well , look what the cat done dragged in ".

She lifted his chin to examine his face , his bruising had noticably reduced making way for his facial features to be more noticeable .

" Aren't you pretty and shouldn't you be gone now ? "

Jade blinked as he struggled to look at her properly .

" W...what ? I was uhm... hoping to stay with you guys ".

May broke into a riotic laughter as she held her waist , when she finally stopped , she held Jade's shoulder and from the flinch that flew over his face , she must have been pressing down on his shoulders .

" Why would you hope for something like that ? I saved you because you looked like you needed it then but this is different . There's three of us already and you know what they say about three ? "

Jade's eyes moved around frantically .

" I don't know what they say about three ".

May tsked loudly .

" Three makes a team , Jay ".

Dean had heard enough .

" Leave him alone May , he's barely recovered".

May turned and looked at him like she was shocked that he had not supported her .

Dean scoffed quietly .

He would rather be a team with Jade , he seemed to be more his speed and besides they needed someone like Jade to balance out May and Blade's lack of propriety .

May was droning on about the things she could do .

" ....I don't get scared of them and just focus on getting my bullets Into somewhere that will burn those f*****g steels to the ground and then , there's Blade , he is also a fighter and puts those steels down without thinking and Dean might not look it but he has taken down golems too . We don't need anyone that will be a draw back ..."

Dean walked towards them and pulled them apart .

" No one is becoming a drawback and the church has enough space for more people and May, everyone does not have to be a fighter . Do you agree , Blade ? "

They all turned to Blade who was looking a little woozy from the boink of earlier .

He lifted his fingers and formed a thumb up .

" I'm okay with it. Will be good to have more people around , maybe our voices won't echo as much ".

Dean turned back around to May .

" Is it settled then ? "

He ignored her reply , she was just a taller and less intelligent Jaymie , she was doing everything Jaymie would do.

Except Jaymie would have been more persuasive , if it had been Jaymie here , he would have already sent Jade packing.

He turned around to Jade .

" So , what did you find ? "

Jade's smile slowly returned as he walked ahead .

" I used to try to make HMEs and IEDs because I was bored of how slow our lessons were progressing ".

Dean nodded , he was impressed until he saw the confusion in May's face , he rolled his eyes .

" HMEs are Homemade Explosives and IEDs are Improvised Explosive Devices ".

He let Jade continue because the kid was practically bouncing from excitement and anticipation .

" Yes , exactly . I tried every chemical I could get my hands on and even normal household stuff that I got at the hardware store . I never actually tried them because I was scared of the damage but I don't think I need to be scared here ".

Dean thought about it for a moment .

" So , you are saying you're a walking cookbook for explosives ? "

Jade nodded , his face about to burst from the o****m that was being caused by his love for explosives .

" And the perfect thing for us would be nitroglycerin ".

Wait , what ?

The same nitroglycerin that Dean knew ?

Nitroglycerin was a liquid that was highly unstable , It's explosive power was unmatched but because of its ability to explode even with the slightest movement , it was too dangerous .

" I know what you're thinking ..."

Dean was sure Jade did not know what he was thinking .

" All we have to do is nitrate glycerol with nitric acid and sulphuric acid and they are all things we could easily acquire ".

Dear was now sure that his definition of Easily was quite different from this kid's.

" You do know that we could just use brake fluid and bleach ? I've tried it a couple of times ".

It was cheap and easy and not to mention , it made for great aesthetics .

Jade frowned .

" You mean Polyethylene glycol ? "

Dean nodded.

" And popular swimming pool chlorine , Calcium hypochlorite , I'm sure those would be easier to come across here ".

Dean watched as Jade's face morphed while he thought , Jade eventually smiled .

" I can't believe I left you to look for a solution and your solution is still better ".

Dean was about to reply him when a piercing scream shook them apart.

Dean turned to the source , May .

Her deranged look had gotten scarier .

" What in f***s sake are you two going on and on about ?"
