Okay. But it'll permanently disable it? I still need to figure out where he's keeping it though, right? Unless you've got a tracker or something in it.
[Which would actually be a great idea if anything like this happened again.]
That's kind of my job. [Which reminds him.] Here. I brought something for you.
[Dean reaches into his pocket and pulls out a sheet of paper, unfolding it to reveal an odd design drawn in ink.] Just in case. It's an angel banishing sigil, and it'll get rid of Lucifer or any other angel if they're around you. This is important. It has to be drawn using blood and you have to activate it by putting your hand in the circle and your hand has to be bleeding. Drawn with blood, activated with blood. Okay?
[He really has no idea how Hiro will take that, but he'd rather the kid had an out if Lucifer did decide he was interesting for whatever reason. Dean had been way younger than Hiro when he'd first learned about hunting.]
Yep. It's easier to just break something than temporarily knock it out, trust me. ... Do you want a tracker?
[ Because he can do that too. That's easy, honestly; just a simple GPS. He opens his mouth to say as much ... and then there's a sigil. Huh. He turns it around in his hands for a moment - and then startles when the rest of Dean's comment sinks in. Um. ]
Wh - what the hell! Do I look like the kind of person who goes around cutting themselves?
Ahahaha. Is it bad that this is kind of amusing me?
A tracker would be handy, actually. Wouldn't take up too much space, would it?
[And yeah... he kind of expected this sort of reaction. But. Well.]
No. But a little blood is better than whatever Lucifer might do. Trust me.
Look. I don't think you'll have to use it, but it's an option. There are other wards, too. Things that'll keep an angel from coming into your house or finding you. Lucifer can't find me unless I tell him where I am and I don't know if he'll go after somebody else instead.
[Basically, Dean cares about you and doesn't want to see you get hurt, so take the damn sigil.]
I get that, but - dude, this is crossing a line into super weird. Like, majorly weird. I'm okay with trying out your weird magic symbols, but is blood really necessary?
[Not that weird. But.... Hiro doesn't really know anything about Dean's life.]
For that one it is. It has to be blood. But that's a last resort, alright? I can show you some of the other ones, too, if you want. But hopefully you'll never need them.
[ He really doesn't. Looks like he's about to find out, though. He kind of makes a face at the thought of all this but - he was going to learn Charter Magic from Sabriel before it had turned out he'd had zero capability for it. What's the harm in trying this? Sure would be nice to have a last ditch weapon against an angel that might potentially hate him, after all. ]
I guess I can always learn them and never use them.
[This is barely the tip of the iceburg, Hiro. Dean watches him, raises an eyebrow at the face. And that was the reason why he didn't really get close to people. Because they couldn't handle the truth. It doesn't really matter how the kid feels about it though, as long as it keeps him safe.]
[And he hasn't even see Dean's tattoo. Or, you know, the handprint seared into the flesh of his arm.]
Knock yourself out. [He shrugs. Why would he care if Hiro wanted them on his phone? At least they'd be with him.] You want me to send you the others later?
[He'll just.... take pictures of the walls of his house and send those.]
Another angel - a friend - carved them into my ribs. I wouldn't say it was exactly pleasant, but it was fast enough and it's a Hell of a lot better than having angels popping up everywhere we went, trying to get the jump on us.
[Well, he hadn't exactly meant right now, but he'll take it, raising an eyebrow over the fact that Hiro was apparently carrying the thing around with him.]

it's okay I'm laughing too
[ Blood sigils though? Super weird. ]

Yeah, I guess so. [ A beat. ] You mind if I scan the symbols into my phone too?

[Although... speaking of sigils. Hiro seems to have access to a lot of technology, so.]
Actually... Is there an X-ray machine you could use?
no subject
Yeah, sure. Depends on what you need it for - I've got something portable that might work? Or we could go to StarkTech.
no subject
But, uh. Maybe not right now. Sometime after whatever this is dies down.
no subject
no subject
Yeah. There's, uh... So I told you that Lucifer can't find me, right?
[This is actually something that Dean is hesitant to explain because it's pretty freaking weird even for a hunter.]
