Sweet Mischief’s Rollercoaster Romance

Anya poked at her food with a toothpick, chatting away as she ate. She wandered over to Leo, peering at his computer screen over his shoulder. "Jeez, that's dark. What are you even looking at?" She sliced up an apple and offered a piece to Leo.

Inside the Dark Web's hideout, things were less cozy. Miles lounged in a chair, watching as Dean lay sprawled on the floor, only half-awake. Someone dumped a bucket of cold water over Dean's face, snapping him back to reality.

Miles glanced down at the battered Dean and smirked. "Look at you-got Maja and Conner working together for once."
