Geralt awoke from his slumber blearily, with confusion. He had been dreaming again, dreams layered with unknown meanings, the details of which fled his mind within minutes. Ashen hair, green eyes, silver swords, the rumbling growl of something sinister. He did not sit up, but lie there in his threadbare blankets, keeping his eyes closed hard trying to hang on to the dream. But it was like water in the hand, it slipped through his fingers no matter how hard he tried to resist.

He submitted to the fact that the day had begun, and that his dream was not returning. He got up from bed and dressed somewhat haphazardly, expecting another slow day on the hunt. He made his way downstairs where his assistant had already prepared coffee and sat down at his home office. There were a couple of messages pinned to the wall - his assistant knew that it was never okay to awake him from sleep. He flipped through them, did a double take, and then flipped back to the first message.

HQ Lost. Mayor Mononucleosis' orders. Geralt needed in Downtown A S A P.

"Fuck."

Hours later, he was back in LA trying to round up what was left of the old gang. He had been in semi-retirement for too long, it was taking some effort for him to get back into the swing of things. He had kept an old building downtown on the books, leased out to a couple of distant cousins. The first order of business was evicting them and getting the gang back together in a new home. It was going to take some doing, but he knew they would pull together in this difficult time. He knew he would have the support of his many friends across the country as well. He may have been semi-retired, but Geralt made sure to keep those communication lanes well oiled. Dean-Winchester stood beside him as they stood on the rooftop, awaiting the return of their flock. 

"I'm sorry this has happened, my friend. You deserved better. May that lout Grimes never live down his shame. Typical of a Scotsman honestly."

They chuckled together at Scottish people's expense.

"But the operation stays the same. New name, for now, but we lead together as we have for months, keeping Los Angeles a great place to be. I will take the mantle only because I must, but Los Angeles will always be the city you built. We shall see what a new day brings together once more."
