[The feed opens and Mary is smiling pleasantly into the camera. She's much more versed in the communicator than when she made her first network post.]

Hello Everyone. Mary here. I know anyone who was sick has recovered or is well on the way but if anyone needs anything- anything at all- I'd be happy to help you.

[She tucks a piece of her hair back behind her ear.] I thought I might as well check in with those who know me. So please, let me know that you're alright.

[She smiles again, having said all she wanted to. She looks as if she's about to cut the feed when an idea occurs to her then she adds one more thing as an afterthought.]

Oh. And I was just wondering, who else didn't get sick? I know there were some of us out there- and I don't know about you- but I'd like to know why.

[She gives a little nod and cuts the feed.]

you didn't get sick?

[ And other people didn't too, or so she's implying. He wasn't really in enough of a condition to pay too much attention to what else was going on this past week or so. ] not because of the medicine?

[A wide smile spreads across her face when she sees him. She's relieved to see him safe and sound.]

Yes, I'm fine. I didn't even get sick. Did you?

Doesn't seem like I got sick, either. As for why, I, uh... couldn't... tell you. Not gonna look a gift horse in the mouth, I guess, but... I'd just like to know as well.

[If only because the lingering "what ifs" are just going to bug the hell out of him.]

[marriedwinchester]

So we just have more unanswered questions. [Her voice trails off for a moment.] There has to be some reason though. Whether we were chosen for some reason or it was just chance.

I didn't end up getting sick.

[It was getting close, he thought, but it didn't end up coming.]

Alex. [Mary smiles.] I'm glad. There're more of us than I thought.

[A beat.] How are you?

Never been sick.
Was assuming it was the same as that.

[marriedwinchester]

maybe. but it affected almost everyone and this wasnt any normal sickness. there must be something else. dont you think.

[soothing]

I wasn't sick.

[marriedwinchester]

And you didn't experience any symptoms at all?

[inspirited]

I'm alright, I wasn't sick either.

[Mary grins. She's very glad to hear that.] It's good to see you, Chuck. How have you been?

[rebelled]

I...apologize for not coming to check on you.

[He may've been a little too sick to do that though.]

[marriedwinchester]

That's okay, Castiel. As I said before, I was perfectly fine. Although I haven't decided if that's a good thing or not.

How are you?

[agent_k]

I didn't get sick.

[He's not sure how much he should divulge of reasons why perhaps he didn't. He wants to see what other people have to say first.]

[marriedwinchester]

You didn't either, hmm... There's more of us than I thought. What's your name?

[upstairsbrain]

I'm... not sure. [ He pauses, frowning. ] I can't account for the last week, as weird as that sounds.

[marriedwinchester]

[Mary's eyebrows knit together with concern.] What do you mean?

[assumed]

[ He's not fully in the frame, but it's clear that this is a child, and speaking a little skittishly. ]

I didn't get sick.

You seem really nice, Mary.

[marriedwinchester]

[Oh. He's just a boy. It surprises Mary, how young he looks.]

Thank you. That's very nice of you to say. What's your name?
