Ellen narrowed her eyes, slowly raised her gun to aim at Shane again, and shook her head slightly, teasing, "I'm afraid not. Some things are best cleared up early, so I know whether to treat you as a friend or an enemy!"
Shane nodded in agreement. His body suddenly split apart, transforming into sheets of flying paper, dancing in the air like butterflies among flowers. In an instant, he arrived beside the refrigerator, next to the dumbfounded blonde girl, Jo.
Before his form could even re-condense, a sheet of paper had already caught the beer falling from Jo's hand.
"Jo, get over here!"
Ellen, worthy of being a seasoned retired hunter, didn't forget to react even though she was badly startled by Shane's move. She shouted a warning to her stunned daughter.
Rustle rustle...
Papers danced. Shane's body was piled up sheet by sheet from the bottom up. The paper holding the beer floated to his hand, turned direction, and swiped gently across the beer cap. The cap flew off in response, and the paper flew to Shane's face, making the piling marks disappear.
Does this count as opening a beer with one's face?
Shane chuckled lightly. The wallet in his pants pocket flew out eerily on its own.
The wallet opened itself, and a green hundred-dollar bill drilled out as if it were alive. It twisted and folded in the air, transforming into a paper flower in the blink of an eye, floating in front of Jo.
"Your tip."
Taking the paper flower blankly, Jo mumbled a thank you to Shane.
You've seen a hundred-dollar tip, but have you seen a flying hundred-dollar tip?
A flying hundred-dollar tip that can fold itself into a flower—have you ever seen that???
"We're even."
Shane pointed at the gun Ellen had aimed at him, smiled, and took a sip of beer.
You scare me with a gun, I scare you with my ability!
Ellen seemed to understand Shane's meaning. She hesitated speechlessly for a moment, then holstered her gun.
Although this guy's origin was unknown and his eerie abilities were definitely not something a human could possess, he didn't seem to have malicious intent. To be safe, it was better not to provoke him for now. Besides... if the opponent really had malicious intent, with that eerie ability just now, she and her daughter didn't seem to have a chance of winning.
Shane drank his beer and looked around the bar environment with interest. Ellen went to her daughter Jo's side, and the two nervously observed Shane, guessing his purpose.
The mountain doesn't need to be high; if there's an immortal, it becomes spiritual.
The bar, which he originally thought was dilapidated and abandoned, instantly became different after meeting the mother and daughter pair, Ellen and Jo. The Hunter Bar (The Roadhouse)—a very famous place in Supernatural, which could be considered one of the show's check-in spots.
The proprietress, Ellen, was an old friend of the Winchester brothers' father, John. Her husband was also a hunter. When they were young, he teamed up with John to hunt demons, served as bait, and died. Ellen retired because of this, opened this bar with her daughter Jo, and entertained all kinds of hunters on the road. This bar also became a place for hunters to gather and exchange intelligence.
After John Winchester died, Ellen provided a lot of help to the brothers and became their ally. Her daughter Jo was innocent and cute, bent on becoming a cool hunter like the Winchester brothers. But her mother opposed it. After hiding it from Ellen and hunting once with the brothers, she was finally told by Ellen that her father was killed by the Winchester brothers' father (John's mistake). This made her, who originally had a thing for Dean, eventually drift away from the Winchester brothers.
Of course, if the story ended here, Jo wouldn't become one of the most unforgettable female characters in the hearts of Supernatural fans. In the end, she still became a hunter. Later, to protect Dean, she blocked a hellhound's attack and blew herself up along with the hellhounds in a department store.
Her mother, Ellen, was there too.
The death of this mother and daughter was very regrettable.
Jo was very beautiful, with long bright blonde curly hair, a slender figure, and a cute personality. Growing from a girl who yearned for hunting adventures to a hunter who sacrificed herself heroically—this kind of growth didn't make people feel gratified, only regretful!
"My name is Shane. You can consider me a hunter. My biggest hobby is seeing all kinds of supernatural creatures or events. You definitely know the Winchester brothers, John's sons. About ten minutes ago, I was with them on a flight from Indianapolis, dealing with a demon that caused several recent plane crashes."
Shane sat in front of the bar counter drinking beer, smiling lightly. "I left the plane first with the sealed demon. They'll contact me after they land. Did I make myself clear enough?"
"You know John and his sons?" Ellen was a bit surprised, then asked in confusion, "You said you left the plane first with the sealed demon. The plane hasn't landed yet. How did you leave? And where is the demon?"
Dance of the Shikigami: Angel Mode.
Huge paper wings appeared. Shane smiled without speaking.
"You... you can fly?" Jo came to Shane's side, looking at the wings behind him in surprise. She reached out carefully and hesitantly to touch them.
"I buried the demon in the ground. You can study it together when they get here if you're interested." Shane shook his shoulders, and the wings turned into paper and returned to his body.
Jo's eyes were filled with curiosity and a gaze of exploration.
Ellen nodded. "How... how did you do that?"
"Ninjutsu, a special ability released by Chakra." Shane paused, smiling. "I am human. Pure human."
Jo chimed in, "So this is your superpower?"
Shane smiled without answering and looked at Ellen. "You guys asked a lot of questions. Now it's my turn, right?"
"What do you want to ask?"
"This bar... is it for sale?"
