Warnings/Notes: Winchester mouth. Updated as needed.


Once Dean was back on his feet, Sam started exploring the North Pole. And, honestly, nobody who knew him would be surprised to find that once he found the library, he kept drifting back there.

Not that it was that easy to find things there. That North has a filing system is undeniable. What's also undeniable, though, is that whatever filing system he has is archaic and likely all in his own head. Which doesn't mean that Sam doesn't enjoy the looking.

Which is why he can be found at one of the tables near the middle of the room, piles of books and scrolls around him and a leather-bound notebook open to his right, pen set in the crease between pages as he bends over another book, head bowed and hand on cheek as he reads.

He glances up as somebody approaches, then leans back with a stretch. "Hey. Any idea how long I've been here?"

Rex shook his head at the idea he might have lucked out and got stuck with the Force anyway. "I'm too old to have the Force. I never thought I'd need to ask General Skywalker how to meditate.

"Even if it's telekinesis I'm not very good at it yet." And there were few things related to combat that he wasn't good at. It was an adjustment. "All I've done is grab a blaster."

But if he had the potential to do any of that... Rex didn't care for the force but he had seen what telekinesis could do in a fight.

"Have you ever tried moving yourself?"

"Honestly? I prefer having a gun when things are weird. It's more reliable and requires FAR less concentration."

Sam nods slowly at the question. "I tried. Once. I didn't get very far, though. Again, it seemed like a concentration problem. I was too afraid I'd drop myself. Also, harder to see what's happening when it's you rather than somebody else." A tilt of the head in a half shrug. "Or, at least, that's how it felt to me."

Rex nodded in approval. His own blasters were a part of himself at this point. Being separated from them or having them stolen would, to allow himself hyperbole, be like having his arm severed. And yet his response was simple. "Agreed."

Still, there were benefits to the force-- or telekinesis. "But if you could manage to move yourself..." Well, he'd seen how that could be used.

But he forgot himself. "I'm Captain--" he caught himself too late but kept his sigh internal. "Rex. You can just call me Rex."

Sam actually prefers knives, sometimes, but for distance? Definitely guns.

He hums at that and nods. "I've definitely read a fair few comics where the telekinetics could move themselves. Just because I couldn't get over the idea of trying to get more than two inches off the ground with my own powers doesn't mean everybody would have the same problem."
