Return to Normal. Sort of. With Mia, Michael, Lois, Sam and Dean.

Oliver sat heavily on the steps of Watchtower, his shoulders slumped as he waited for Lois and the kids to show up. Sam and Dean had returned a few minutes before, and while Dean was leaning against the wall, Sam was staring at the computer equipment with something akin to fascination on his face.

He drew in a breath and glanced up as he heard Lois and the kids making their way into the room, and he rose to his feet slowly, despite his body's protests.

"Lois."



(Tag order Lois, Michael, Mia, Ollie, Dean and Sam?)

Sam handed Michael a piece of chalk as well. "Can you draw us some pictures with Mia?" he asked, nodding toward the circle as well as he set the boy down.

Lois just watched all of them, apparently those were the guys who had been helping her cousin figure out how to bring the kids back to normal which was all the more reason why she would be there.

Michael took the chalk and nodded to Sam, walking over the circle. "I'll draw an awesome picture!" Then he stopped and looked back. "Will Mommy come see it?"

Watching Dean warily, Mia shrank back against Oliver's hip for a second instead of taking the offered chalk. "Is it a present?" she asked him, still a little nervous about how Ollie wasn't being smiley and happy like he usually was and the strangers...well, maybe "uncle" Sam wasn't a stranger to Michael. "I want to stay with Ollie."

Instinctively Oliver wrapped his arm around Mia. "It's okay," he whispered. "It's not a present. Come on. I'll come with you, okay?" He rose to his feet, wincing a little and holding his hand out to her.

Dean stayed eye level with her. "You can do whatever you want with this piece of chalk, okay?" Then he stood and faced Oliver. "You can't be in that circle once we start this," he said quietly.

Sam glanced at Mia, and then at Michael. "Yeah, of course she will, Buddy. She'll love whatever you draw her." He smiled softly at him.

And apparently the two guys were in on whatever had happened to Chloe too, Lois was getting impatient, "can we get this show on the road or what?"

With that reassurance from Sam, Michael dropped to his knees in the circle and began drawing stick figures.

Mia took the chalk and held it in one chubby fist while the other clung tightly to Oliver's hand. She let him lead her over to where Michael was already drawing.

He didn't respond to Dean's comment, but he stayed just outside the circle. "I'm right here," he told Mia, offering her a small smile, however strained it was.

Once the kids were in the circle, Dean worked quickly combining herbs into a silver chalice. Lighting a match, he nodded to Sam to begin the incantation before dropping the flaming stick into the cup.
