bakerstreet | minor injury meme.

You or your meme partner has been hurt, but don't worry! This time around it's not that bad. You can still limp your way out of this mess.

INJURIES.
1. Sprain/strain. How did you screw up walking?
2. Broken bones. Simple fractures still hurt.
3. Cuts. Hopefully one of you has a sewing kit.
4. Burns. Location, location, location. Let's pray this one isn't on your ass.
5. Concussion. No, they're most likely not holding up fifteen fingers.
6. Other. I'm not a doctor.

HOW'D IT HAPPEN.
1. Stupidity. You did this to yourself.
2. Accident. Is an unintentional attack still an attack?
3. Attack. Don't lie, you deserved it.
4. Other. It's probably still your own fault.

WHERE'D IT HAPPEN.
1. Home. Did you remember to invest in a first aid kit?
2. School/Work. This should be excellent for getting you out of doing stuff!
3. Outdoors. Predators like the smell of blood. Clean up asap.
4. In the water. Hopefully there aren't any sharks!
5. Other. Like a hospital. That'd be handy.

It's true that Dean is probably the weakest bet in Purgatory. Being human in a world of monsters, including ones that he personally sent here, it's not fun. And of course he hates being the reason that they have to stop, and find food, and get themselves noticed because he can't move as fast or as quietly on the best of days.

It only gets worse after that run-in with the shifters.

It was just a well-aimed kick that got him, a small injury, and definitely nothing compared to some of the other stuff he's endured, but right now it's screaming at him. Every step is torture because Dean refuses to stop for the little amount of time it would take to give it a rest and let it heal. Of course he's overcompensating for feeling like the weak one, so weak that he has to team up with a vampire, and he has endured actual torture in the past. So he won't let himself be bothered by this one bum knee, even if every mile he walks on it only makes it worse and makes that limp more difficult to hide.

At first, he just lets Dean stubborn it out. Continue to limp along near the river where the sound of rushing water would mask the noise as well as the scent of human. Warm and alive and while Dean's vulnerabilities might rankle him, they only reminded Benny of who he was, who he wanted to be again.

Benny might even admire his determination, but at the rate he was shambling along, they were going to run into trouble and maybe not the kind they could get back out of.

"All right brother, think it's time we call a halt for the night. That knee of yours ain't getting much better. You need to rest it before we get back to looking for the angel."

Dean grumbles under his breath. He hates this, hates being the weak one, hates not being the one taking care of the other one; he hates Benny calling him "brother" 'cause it makes him miss Sam and worry about the kid left to his own devices up top, but most of all, right now at least, he hates that he can't argue with Benny.

He has pushed it as far as he possibly can. His knee has gone from a painful ache to a searing pain and an audible creak with every step he takes. At this point, it feels like a single step more is going to cause his bones to snap.

So he nods and tries not to outright pout over having to admit defeat. "Yeah... let's find some shelter," he says, even as he is sinking down to sit exactly where he was standing. He's not sure if this is the safest spot to be in, but now that he is allowing himself to feel that he has reached his limit, he won't be able to move anything at all until morning. Give it five minutes and he'll fall asleep right there if Benny will let him.
