[He reads her message as a threat, and it feels like eating a fortune cookie and getting the same exact fortune over, and over, and over again.
Maybe she deserves special mention for sounding like she's willing to take responsibility for him as no one's really done since after Sam had pulled him into danger, but it still rubs him the wrong way. Not even that he might slip and have a serious psychotic break, not even that that day might be an inevitability, but that someone thinks they can dictate his fate after everything.
He should be angry, and maybe that's part of what he feels, but the mix of feelings he has refuses to be defined.]
I thought it was all bullshit.
[He doesn't even know the answer, regardless of whether he'd give her the truth or keep it to himself.]

[ so, that would be a no, she guesses. she'll also take a wild guess and assume he's speaking about all the weird shit that's happened to him — angels, hunters, even wonderland itself — because there's no way anyone who had been born into this life would think it's bullshit. cora doesn't. ]
And now? Still bullshit?
[ she thinks she knows the answer without needing to know adam inside out, anyway. ]
Your mirror is full of it. A lot of it. His head is shoved so far up his own ass.

That's what I was asking you.
[She's the one who'd said she wouldn't trust what his Mirror had said, that it was nothing but crap. Adam wants to believe it can stay that way, just crap. But if she has to ask him, if she thinks there's a possibility he can be dangerous, too, then...
Then that's something he'll have to face in later, if it ever comes up. It doesn't matter now. The important thing here is that she has a fair warning, just like the one Sam and Dean had given him once. (And the one he hadn't listened to.)]
I'm human, he's not, that's the difference. He's the unfriendly kind of monster we were talking about.
[So it's better if Cora go on letting the Mirror live with his head up his ass than baiting it.]

[ adam might claim to be human, but cora knows humans have the ability to be just as dangerous as a feral alpha pack. he may not have the strength or claws or stamina to be a true physical threat, but he knows hunters, and that makes him dangerous in her book. ]
Not an angel?
[ definitely not a werewolf — cora has a feeling she would've sensed that. she's only met one werewolf who wasn't from beacon hills in wonderland and that had been over text. but she still thinks she would've sensed it. it makes her feel less powerless, thinking that. ]
[ if he happens to be something else outside of the box of angels, werewolves, and the thing that had ultimately ended adam's life, then she's going to have to go do some research of her own. she may have been born into the supernatural underbelly of beacon hills, but she wasn't born with an encyclopaedia in her head — and asking a hunter a hypothetical question of what his mirror could possibly be and how to fight it is completely out of the question. ]

[An angel? Just the thought makes him laugh to himself, a dark and muted sound in the quiet of his apartment.
His magical doppelganger, an angel. Adam has to admit, if Wonderland had wanted to twist the knife where it hurts, reminding him of his own stupid, stupid mistakes would do it. Being a vessel scares him more than being a demon.]
No. Not one of them.
[She's ice cold, going in the complete opposite direction between Heaven and Hell.]

[ cora can't honestly think of anything else. unless he's the thing that had originally killed adam? but not even she's that tactless to even suggest his mirror is that monster that had ended his life decades too early. it's better he says it, than her bringing up memories that are definitely unwanted. ]
Give me a ballpark. If I run into him, I want to make sure I've got the right thing on me. Garlic. Silver. A song by Taylor Swift that might make him disappear.
[ whatever. she doesn't want to run into mirror!adam again and be taken by surprise. if she can't will herself into punching him, then she'd rather throw holy water on his face and watch it sizzle. or enjoy him screaming to whichever pop artist it is that might bring him to his knees. ]

Do you believe angels are real? Would you believe demons are real, too?
[Adam's ballpark is nothing but crazy stacked on top of crazy, sorry to say. He can't blame Cora for wanting to know how to defend herself from dangerous Mirrors--Adam would like to know that one, too--but there's not much he can do to prep a person through text for the Dan Brown "Angels & Demons" talk.]
Pretty sure he's the opposite of an angel.

I really don't know what to believe anymore.
[ honestly. considering adam's blown her entire supernatural world right open, cora's not really sure what she should and shouldn't bother believing. does the boogie monster exist, too? she feels like asking, but it's a little inappropriate to do so right now. ]
Aren't they under the thumb of the devil? So, your mirror's a demon?
[ got to get that confirmation there before she decides to torture herself with dan brown. ]

[Point taken. His couple hundred years of education on the subject trumps word of mouth. Adam knows he's not the most reliable source of information, at that.]
Sorry. The truth bites.
[For a while, that's just all he writes, letting the unsent message sit there on his phone. He really doesn't want to get into who's really been under Lucifer's thumb.]
But they're real, and yeah, he's probably supposed to be like them. I don't know how you stop them, so just believe he's not afraid to hurt a person and steer clear. The hunters must know more than I do.

[ lets not talk about biting. ]
[ so, cora's now regretting never watching the exorcist, since she's certain some of the methods used in that film could be used on adam's mirror. pity. just like silver bullets are a bitch to pull from flesh, she's starting to think she's going to have to do her own secondary research on demons. ]
The hunters better. I'm pretty sure you could turn your "I don't know" into something - the library is bound to have books.
[ cora's beginning to wonder if adam really doesn't know. he's been eaten by a monster he can't recall, he's been used by an angel in the worst of ways, and his mirror is the opposite of the guys he's warned her about. is he really that clueless and unlucky? or is he holding his cards close to his chest — closer than she is with hers? ]
Anything's possible in Wonderland. Why not a How To for putting demons down?

Some seem to.
[Like Ellen, who'd held him captive in a devil's trap when his Mirror had possessed him. That's plenty of proof hunters know what demons are and what to do about them.
But what Cora's talking about involves him confessing to John Winchester's friends and family (a different kind of family than what a bastard kid counts for) about his experiences in Hell, that his Wonderland duplicate is a demon, that he has mixed feelings on everything to do with these mirror personas. It's not like he hasn't been to the library for just that purpose, but it's not all that easy to master a whole new way of life through sources that may or may not even be accurate.]
Fact checking is the hard part and I doubt they have books on Wonderland twins and how to deal with them. But if you find one that makes it that easy, great. Send it my way when you're done with it.

I will.
[ out of the two of them, adam seems to be the one who could use it the most. what does she gain from looking up demons? she's occupying hours she'd otherwise spend being bored in her room. she has no intention of finding adam's mirror again. but if mirrors haunt their reals ... how does he not know a thing about the creature his mirror is? is he disinterested? does he not want to know what makes it tick? cora doesn't understand it, how he doesn't know the basics of how to put his own mirror down. but maybe it's simpler for her to be critical since she hasn't had to tango with hers just yet. ]
You really don't think someone in Wonderland would've written down things that happened? Some people here must be adamant at keeping notes. surely, someone before the two of them must've tangoed with demons and jotted down a few notes on how to dip them and twirl them on the dance floor.
[ look at the pamphlet that sometimes circulates around when new kids flood wonderland. even though it's not exactly an academic piece of literature, it's still useful. cora always opens it up when she's in doubt about something. ]

Hey, Cora
Can we talk about something that probably needs serious talking about? I mean, about Matt and Jackson. I don't know if Derek filled you in on either of them, but you probably need to know a few things.
Can we meet somewhere? 9th floor tea room?

Scott. :)
How serious is it? A now kind of meeting or one that can be postponed?
[ it's not like cora has anything to do, anyway; she had figured matt had a thing against derek, whether a grudge or a romantic inkling, and jackson … she doesn't want to talk about him. the things he said about her family name make her want to punch something. the last thing she wants to do is talk about the jerk who couldn't stop yelling at her for just a minute to say thanks. ]

Probably a now kind of meeting if you aren't real busy? It involves everyone's safety, actually.
[He doesn't want something to happen and Cora to get hurt because she didn't know.]
[He doesn't want something to happen and Cora to get hurt because she didn't know.]
Yeah, just you and me. Unless that would be weird. Because we can totally invite someone else too?
[See Scott. See Scott awkward. Awkward, Scott, awkward.]
[
Uh
No reason
I mean
yeah
Not weird.
[RETREATS! He isn't sure HOW she's intimidating over text, but wow. Yeah. He's pretty sure she's less scary in person, tbh!]
No reason
I mean
yeah
Not weird.

[ cora's not sure why he's having some sort of seizure while texting her. but then she remembers that she and scott don't exactly have a thing. she's developed her rhythms with the rest of the pack, but he's the one she's missed out on. she doesn't doubt he's not comfortable around her — she's given him no reason to be. ]
Do you want someone else to be there?
Do you want someone else to be there?
No, there doesn't have to be.
I wasn't planning on anyone else being there.
We're cool.
[His seizure will ease eventually. And he hopes their cool.]

[ cora thinks to type back okay, but she's trying. she remembers stiles had taught her to use emotes, that it wasn't just a thing children do; it softens her words and makes her more accessible, apparently. there's something wrong in that, that she needs to use emotes to get her proper meanings across. ]
Are you sure? I can ask someone.
I promise I don't bite. ;)
[ use your emotes, cora, she hears stiles say in the back of her mind. ]

[Scott is surprised to see the emote again, but it does make him smile.]
Nah, I'm sure. Y'know, since you promised and everything. :)
Nah, I'm sure. Y'know, since you promised and everything. :)
Yep, totally sure! And yeah, I just got there. There's food!
[Because that should totally matter, right?]
