(OOC: Yeah, Sam knew before Gordon and his friends tortured Ruby to death. She'd told him her real/human name and all that led up to her making a deal at the crossroads.)

¡°I could see that. I mean, it's been years since you last saw Jessica and, well, hidden family histories.¡± Cordelia didn't really know what advice to give about a situation like theirs beyond the obvious but where things might go after the conversation she felt the two needed to have was their call. It probably did seem like another life to them both.?
As much as she missed Angel, after all this time apart she didn't know whether she'd be able to go back to her old life so his hesitation on the subject was understandable. ¡°I just think you two should talk, not saying right this instant or even today, but it could help¡especially with the recent uncovering of secrets.¡±?
She could have said more on the subject but her train of thought got interrupted by something that left her with an uncomfortable sense of deja vu. It brought back memories of being dragged away to Pylea, not an experience she wished to repeat, EVER.
Her brown eyes quickly scanned the diner, surprised when no one seemed to notice a vortex opening up to drag someone to god knows where. It was only as she looked a little ¡®closer to home¡¯ that she noticed the frightened waitress just before she practically ran from the building.
¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª
¡°How did no one else see that?¡± Jo asked the question no doubt on the brunette¡¯s mind fully aware of a few possible reasons. Most people preferred to pretend things like that didn't happen or the supernatural didn't exist because it made their lives easier. That and no one wanted to look insane. But the waitress had obviously seen something.
She tried to shift her focus back to Castiel¡¯s previous questions about Jenica but the shock hadn't completely worn off yet. Her mind still playing a bit of catch up with recent events, a feeling she hated.
¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª
Cordelia had the look of someone who was searching for something as her eyes moved over the occupants of the diner. Thoughts of her unscheduled trip to Pylea had her wondering whether this was a similar situation. But so far she wasn't seeing any ancient texts just local newspapers or cellphones. It was doubtful that either of those things were being used for that purpose.
A question about visions brought her focus back to their table, anxiously biting her lip she wished she had some enlightening bit of information to offer but the Powers That Be seemed to have zero interest in the demon¡¯s fate. If there was some way of causing a vision about a specific thing at will she would have done so. It wasn't the first time they chose to stay out of something.
She listened to the explanation of who could have taken Halbrek and while solving a mystery generally made her feel better this time it had the opposite effect. ¡°Okay. So, we figure out a way of making the mirror thing a bit more permanent then the not so fun part of finding this queen?¡± She highly doubted it would be as simple as it sounded.
¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª
Jo kept her opinions to herself given her distrust of demons in general. Sure there were rare instances when one had proven themselves trustworthy but a person had better odds of winning the lottery¡TWICE. ¡°Crowley?¡± She knew he'd gone to him for information on occasion but this didn't seem like one of those instances where there was anything in it for the ¡®king of the crossroads¡¯.
Biting her tongue when Sam brought up something else that raised concerns given she didn't much trust Halbrek. Could a round of torture have the demon singing like a canary? It's possible. She wasn't entirely convinced the demoness could be counted as loyal to anyone but herself.
The thought of a meeting with Crowley was one she wanted to avoid but she'd promised to always have Sam¡¯s back in his brother's absence so if that involved the occasional interaction with a certain demon then that's what she'd do. ¡°What if he doesn't¡¡± Her question was cut short by the sudden disappearance of Castiel.
¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª
¡°What are the odds he just decided to go play hero all by himself?¡± Cordelia asked knowing it was far more likely the same thing snatched him up.
