Tumblr Academy reimagined

"Okay, wait. Just hold on a second," the taller insisted, hurrying down the steps and into the room. "Can you just fill us in on what exactly we've missed while we were on our hunt? How did you meet these people? Who died?"

"Oh, okay. I followed Azazel into her world," I pointed to Olivia. "The Percy Jackson world, you know, with Zeus and Poseidon, a musical just came out in our world, I'll make you listen to it later. These guys were also transported through a scheme of Azazel's as he attacked her camp before he tried to kill the Gods. I banished him back here and he's possessing the body of one of my friends, so I'm going to go collect his soul and store it in me so I can return it when I exorcise Azazel."

The shorter brother headed down the stairs. He was quiet at first but spoke up again after a moment. "So is she's from Percy Jackson, where are you two from?" he asked, somewhat suspiciously.
I paused. I didn't know what universe mine would be called in this world. "Hmm, I dunno what you would call mine, but it's filled with superheroes, like Spider-Man, Doctor Strange, and my father. And technically me."
"Who is your father?"
"Tony Stark," I replied, smiling slightly. He gawked at me for a moment.
"Tony Stark as in the millionaire, playboy, philanthropist?"
"Billionaire," I corrected. "And he's not a playboy anymore, he and my mom have happily settled down together."

"Yeah, he's the Marvel kid and he is..." I looked at Alistair, trying to remember.
Alistair: I cleared my throat and tapped the book I had set down on the table. "Uh, Once Upon a Time. I don't know what media format that is here, but it's a book in my world... kinda, it's complicated..."

The shorter one looked almost like he'd gotten the best news of his life. "That is so cool," he murmured.
"Now's not the time, Dean," the taller muttered at him. "Kira, do you guys have some sort of plan? You are trying to get them back where they came from, right? Because they can't stay here. That could mess up all of our worlds."
"We are trying to get home," I replied. "But we have to get Nic back to life before we leave, and deal with whatever enemies are working together from all of our worlds. I heard you guys are experts at cheating death, so are you going to help us, and speed up us getting out of here, or not?"

Alistair: "We'll help wherever we can. We have a lot of rooms so you kiddos can bunk here until you get your friend back." I crossed my arms and tried not to pout at being called a kid.
Kira: "Thanks guys. I need the Impala to get to the Heaven entrance, though." I loved saying things like that, because the look on Dean's face was everything hilarious. It was like I told him that Cas was incredibly gay for Sam this entire time.

"Ooh, Impala? As in the 1967 Chevy Impala? Because that's an attractive car," I cut in.
Dean glanced at me as if he was reevaluating me. "You know much about classic cars?" he asked.
"Just a bit. It's more of a hobby in my free time, but I know a bit about them."
Dean turned to his brother. "Finally there's someone else around with good tastes, Sammy, " he insisted. His brother shook his head, but a smile tugged at his lips. "Ill let you see her before someone," he paused to send a dirty glance at Kira, "wrecks her again."

((I wanna make Kira a little gay.))

"I did not wreck her, a vampire threw me on top of her and the roof caved in a little because I had no control over how hard I was being thrown!" I crossed my arms. "And I'm just telling you now so you can't accuse me of stealing her when I take her later."

((She wouldn't be the first. I say go ahead if you want to. You know I've got nothing against you doing that.))
"You might as well take her no, since there's not time like the present," he responded.
"Besides, we want to get these guys all back to their homes as soon as possible," Sam added. "No offense or anything, but none of you belong here."
"You're not wrong about that," I agreed.

((Awesome. Poof, she's bi now.))

"Awesome. We can't all go, since I'm the only one who can enter Heaven without vaporizing, though. Aiden is with me, he's Grade A fighter and appreciates good cars. The rest of you can make sure Azazel doesn't escape, or just bunk here, or whatever. We're probably going to be gone for two days." I snatched the keys from Dean and smirked and grabbed my duffel. "Let's go, Pretty Boy!" I started leading the way to the garage.

((Ah darn, it's gonna take forever for Nic to get not dead))
I frowned slightly but followed after her, ignoring the part of me that didn't want to be around her after watching her beat up Nic's body. If anything was going to get done, it wasn't going to be by wasting time fighting.
"I guess Kira's gonna show me the Impala," I called back to Dean, who seemed a little annoyed about it. I could tell he really cared about his car.

((Don't worry, the trip will be like, one post when they timeskip then Heaven is easy, they drive back in another timeskip and bada bing, bada boom, Nic is back!))

I cracked my knuckles and walked over to the car. I got inside and waited for him. "I have a super cool playlist," I informed him while sliding a CD in. It had some of the greatest hits, from Renegade by Styx to some Green Day. Once we were both bucked in, I drove fast. We wouldn't reach an area with cops for a while, so I just drove as fast as I could while having good control over Baby still.

((Phew. I miss him. Also. I tried to tell you about Styx in junior high and you never understood it! When did you learn about Styx? Is it because some Styx songs are in SPN? Ah, Renegade is so good!!))
I gazed out the window as we sped by, my foot tapping to the good classic rock songs. I had only a vague idea of where we were and where we were headed, but I didn't ask any questions, content to let the trip just pass by in somewhat-comfortable quiet (excluding the music that consistently blasted through the speakers.)

((I really have a thing for older songs now. I have a Guardians of the Galaxy Radio on Pandora that is my main source. I have no idea when it happened. Renegade, specifically, I found on a SPN soundtrack, tho.))

I had a love-hate relationship with silence. I felt like Aiden hated my guts for good reasons, so it was irritating. We were listening to House of the Rising Sun, an hour away from Heaven's entrance before I spoke. "So, do you like Nic?" I asked. "Like, not in a friend way, dude, but more of a want-to-date way."

((I've always loved classic rock. Good drumbeats, epic guitar, strong basslines. Interesting lyrics))
I coughed. "I knew him for what, all of two hours?" I asked defensively, definitely caught off guard by the sudden question. "I don't think I could say if I'd want to date him after only that much time of knowing him while he's alive..."

"I mean, it's cool either way. When a cute girl is nice to me, I'm floored and smitten within minutes. I mean, it's just a fast crush, but I love getting to know girls and things that make them happy. At the very least, being their friend is nice, but when a cute girl smiles, I'm done for." I glanced at him. "Romance is finicky, after all. Ever hear of first sight stuff? Cupid exists in my world, so I know it's real."

I wasn't sure what to be more distracted by: the fact she was into girls (which was cool, but somehow unexpected), that she was able to tell so easily that I'd pretty much instantly been crushing on Nic and commented on it, or the fact that Cupid, just like God, angels, and demons, exist in this crazy universe of hers.

I smirked at his silence. "See, I know what I'm talking about. I may act annoying, but that's just something I do to push away people who aren't worth my time. You, however, are a good person. Don't worry, busting Nic outta Heaven is going to be easy, angels like me despite my lineage... I think. If not, I'm ready to fight them. We need Nic. He's like a little brother to me... but he might be older than me, I'm not sure. He's just fun to tease."

I nodded, not quite sure what to reply with. I was no good when it came to the emotional stuff. And comparing someone to a relative was pretty emotional stuff. "I was just quiet because I'm shocked that Cupid exists in this world too," I joked eventually.

"Yeah, tripped me out the first time I heard it too. You're good." I went back to listening to the song. It was Bon Jovi now, You Give Love a Bad Name. I started singing along as I continued driving, totally in my element with this song, slightly head banging all the while.
Eventually, we were at the playground. I pulled up and got out. "Okay, humans such as yourself can not enter Heaven so you are tasked with guarding the Impala." I pulled out my wallet before shoving some bills and the keys into his hands. "Get yourself something to eat, I might be a while." I reached into my holster and pulled out my spare angel blade. "If anything comes out of the portal that isn't me and starts to attack you, activate your suit and stab them with this. Got it?"

"Yeah," I replied, accepting the blade, cash, and keys. "Go do whatever it is you're planning on doing in heaven." I had no idea why some entrance to heaven would be at a park in the middle of nowhere, but I wasn't about to ask questions. Knowing I was anywhere near heaven made me uncomfortable and hurt my atheist brain.

I nodded and made sure I had everything before approaching the entrance. I stepped in the sandbox and let the grace and sand engulf me in the portal as I ascended.
I was in the white hallways, and knew where I needed to go. I knew this was high illegal in heaven's terms and slid the blade into my hand. I started walking, heading to the "N" section of heaven where the souls were being housed.

((Oh God, I'm getting emotional over Seventeen. I shouldn't Musical at night.))

((Lol. Hey, this'll be my last post of tonight. Gotta rest because Imma be riding a zipline tomorrow))
I paused only for a moment before hopping into the driver's seat of the Impala and driving off somewhere in a search for a good burger. She left me with the keys so I figured it was alright for me to drive the sweet ride around instead of just ditching it while I went for food (and stayed away from heaven).

Nic: I laid down in the tall, green grass, the sunlight warm on my skin. I closed my eyes, taking in the sounds of the birds and crickets chirping and the nearby river rushing. I could smell the fresh air, the dirt and the pine trees filling my nose with a pleasant smell. I felt at home. I was home. Wasn't I? My mind suddenly raced. Why was I so panicked and confused all of a sudden? This didn't feel right. Yet it felt exactly like what I longed for.

((Cool, cool. Goodnight!))

I finally found the door to Nic's heaven. I knocked before entering. "Rise and shine, Nic! You're not done on Earth yet!" I smiled and looked around. "Sweet digs. Not what I would have personally, but literally, to each their own. Anyways, to sum it up, you're in Heaven, but we still need you so I'm busting you out and returning you down to Earth because we need you and we need to hurry because the angels will be here any minute! What do you say? You in?"
