[FAIL!Private to Sam Winchester]

[He still doesn't get it. Not even after the in-home lessons Mary gave him on the NV. He figured out the video, text, and audio functions easy enough but the filters are still pretty confusing. It doesn't help that he's been up half the night trying to figure everything out either.

When Dean comes on screen he's got a ballpoint pen twirling between his forefinger and thumb, he's not impressed and has a tired look of annoyance on his face.]

C'mon Sam this is stupid.

I spent all damn day outside lookin' for you, at all the usual places too, and couldn't find you anywhere.

How long're you gonna keep hiding like a bitch?

[He doesn't like shooting blanks. He's pretty ticked under the surface but doesn't let it show. He only looks annoyed and is keeping his cool pretty easy considering the situation.

Dragging a hand down over his eyes as he bites back a yawn Dean lets his head loll for a second before looking back at the receiver from beneath his raised brows.]

Whatever this is it can't be any worse than what you did before.

I thought we were past this kind of attitude.

Don't make me find you, dude, 'cause when I do I'm gonna kick your ass for the under the radar crap.

[The call begins with a woman giving a running commentary without context. When she speaks, her words are tinged with an accent that most could only identify as vaguely Eastern European but a few might recognize as Romani by way of Transia.]

Ah! What the—?! Oh, ick.... I guess that means it’s ... on? Sooo, how do you change to video from— Oh!

[The video function activates and displays the obviously surprised face of a young woman in a red hooded cloak. Her shocked expression quickly turns to one of triumph.]

Hold on. [She holds up a hand, gesturing for the viewer to have patience.] Give me a moment.

[The video displays blurry flashes of a wall, a bedspread, something red, a ceiling, and a wall again. Finally it settles once more on the woman, who has evidently decided to push back the hood of her cloak, revealing dark brown hair and a red tiara. Now that the video feed is stationary, it clearly shows her sitting cross-legged at the head of a bed in what appears to be a starter apartment.]

Hello! [She smiles sweetly and gives the camera a little wave of her fingers.] I’m new here, but you’ve probably already figured that out. [She makes a self-deprecating face.]

I’ve read through the welcome packages. So, I think I have a pretty good grasp of what’s going on. And, to be honest, this sort of thing [she gestures vaguely] has pretty much been my life recently. [The woman shrugs and offers a cryptic smile but provides no further explanation.]

Anyway, no need to go into all of that. But I could still use your help! [She perks up as the subject changes.] Unfortunately, I’m currently stuck wearing my Avengers costume, which is not appropriate for everyday wear. [The woman glances down at herself in mock dismay.] And, it’s definitely not warm enough for the weather at the moment! [As if to highlight her point, she uses one hand to draw the two sides of her cloak together and hunches slightly inward.]

Can anyone tell me the best place to get some clothes, hopefully from a charity or on credit of some kind? I don’t have any money at the moment. [She looks very apologetic.] But I’d pay for them as soon as I could! I truly appreciate any help, and I promise to repay the favor.

[The smiling woman gives a small nod in confirmation before moving out of frame. The video shows the ceiling for a few seconds before her face suddenly reappears.]

Oh, right, where are my manners? You don’t even know my name! It’s Wanda Maximoff. Thank you!

[And she’s gone … again. However, her voice can be heard off screen.]

Okay. You can hang up now, Tallus.

[The call ends.]

WHADDUP, BITCHES?

[That's not Jesse. It's a parrot. A grey macaw with its beak taking up a good portion of space on the screen as it tries to chew on the NV.]

WHADDUP, BITCHES?

[She gives a high-pitched whistle, and somewhere in the background, Jesse's cracking up and clapping his hands.]

Yes! Yes! That is awesome!

WHADDUP, BITCHES? [The bird again, giving an irritable flutter of her wings.]

Hahaha, oh my god. You're perfect. Here...

[He gives her a cracker to get her away from the NV, and his face comes into view finally. Looks like he was in a fight recently, with his nose and jaw both bruised and swollen, but that doesn't seem to be bothering him. He's addressing the network with a wide grin:]

How awesome is that, yo?! I didn't even have to teach her that one.

[It isn't hard to notice the boy splashing around the streets of Sector 4 that afternoon. Maybe it's because he's wearing bright red jeans that look painted on and isn't carrying an umbrella--or maybe it's because he's wearing a look of fear and confusion, and that's a bit unusual for someone who uses this route to get to work every day.

He finds a place to sit and fiddles with the NV until the video feed clicks on.]

Hello-- Hello? Is this working? Is this like a phone? Can anyone see me?

[He swallows hard.]

I don't know where I am. What's happening? Someone said this is Canada-- That can't be real, that's absolutely impossible. I wasn't here a minute ago, I was--

[Some more people pass by and he lowers his voice. He brushes a hand through his hair, clearing his throat, trying to appear calm.] I was with my boyfriend. His name is Blaine. Please, we--we need to get home. I would be very, very grateful to anyone who can tell me where he is. Where I am, for that matter.

Thank you--in advance. Thank you. If anyone's actually... I don't even know what I'm doing.

[He sets the NV down and curls up in a ball on the bench, the rain pattering around him.]
