A/N: Mainly just more of an introduction to Linsey, but now including her brother Jaxon. Many, many thanks to Rebecca for supplying both Jaxon's first name and the sibling's last name. Sequel to Killarmus grandis

"You're thinking about him," Linsey hears from behind her as she wanders around the flower shop with a water can that she has to hold with two hands because it's almost too big. She jumps slightly at the sound of her brother's voice, whipping her head around to glare at him.

"You scared me, Jaxon Winchester!" she yells when she catches sight of her brother. "Didn't our parents teach you not to sneak up on people?"

Jaxon chuckles and takes the water can from his sister's hands before answering. "Actually, little sister, they did. But the Resistance taught me how to be good at it."

Linsey just grunts at him and glares before she tries to take the water back, but Jaxon jerks it away from her. "Uh-uh, Lins," he says. "Not until you admit that you were thinking about that guy again."

Linsey makes another half hearted attempt to grab at the can and sighs when Jaxon holds it away from her. "What guy?" she asks, rolling her eyes at the humor in his.

"The guy from the other day. Daisy Guy," Jaxon says and then laughs because that is a ridiculous name.

"Jax," Linsey says with a completely straight face, "I have no idea what you're talking about."

"Oh please, Linsey, I'm not stupid. You're singing again and you only sing when you're exceedingly happy. And you've been this way for three days. I've never seen you this happy." Jaxon sets the water can on the counter and then turns back to his sister. "It's nice."

"So what if I was, Jax? It doesn't matter 'cause I'll probably never see him again," Linsey says as she moves around Jaxon to grab the water can once more.

Jaxon sighs and then turns again to face his sister. He wants to tell her that things will work out, that things will be okay because he knows she's worrying less about seeing that boy again and more about the fact that the shop isn't in great shape. He opens his mouth to tell her exactly this when a movement from the front of the shop catches his eye. A young man, around the age of Jaxon himself, is wandering around the front of the store, aimlessly touching petals on colorful plants.

"Jeb!" Jaxon calls out, startling both Linsey and Jeb Cain, the former jumping so high that she drops the watering can. Jaxon ignores his sister's soft curse and exclamation of his name as he strides forward to embrace his old Resistance buddy. "Jeb Cain, it has been too long!" he says as he wraps an arm around Jeb's shoulders.

"Jax," Jeb says with a smile and claps his friend on the shoulder.

"What are you doing here?" Jaxon asks as he steps away from the ex-Resistance leader.

"Just, you know, looking around," Jeb stutters out, waving a hand around. "What about you? What are you doing here?"

"My family owns this store, man," Jaxon says with a laugh. "I try to help out here every once in a while when I'm not working with the Scientists."

"Wait? So…your parents…own this store?" Jeb asks slowly as the reality of the situation hits him. "So that means…"

"JAXON WINCHESTER!" They hear and both wince, Jaxon because he knows he's in trouble and Jeb because he's heard that tone and knows that Jaxon is in for it. Jeb immediately turns his attention away to give Jaxon and his sister some privacy and so he can cover the smile that comes to his face.

"The least you could have done was help me mop of the water that you made me spill," Linsey says, poking her brother in the chest and then shoving the now half-empty watering can into his arms.

"Sorry, my lovely little sister, but I needed to speak to my friend here – "

"Bullshit, Jax –"

"Linsey, what's the big deal? It's just a little water and I would –"

"It's a big deal because you are a big jerk who didn't learn manners –"

"I did too and I resent –"

"Then all your time in the woods with the Resistance obviously rendered those manners obsolete because you just acted like a Papay in a china store – "

"Really, Linsey? Is that the best you can do, because I'm fairly certain that I've been called –"

At this point, Jeb had turned back around, determined to grab the attention of the siblings. "Ahem," he coughs out and then has to continue coughing to cover up the laugh that erupts when Jaxon and Linsey turn to face him.

"Sorry, man," Jaxon says, having the decency to look a little embarrassed about the situation. But it doesn't matter because Jeb wasn't even listening to him. Jaxon watches as Jeb and Linsey stare at each other, a hidden smile in his face and hers covered in shock.

"Hi," Jeb says quirking the side of his mouth up.

Linsey was still watching Jeb in shock, her mouth opening and closing as she tried to find her words.

Jaxon's head swung back and forth as he watched his sister and his old Resistance leader. "What's going on here? Linsey?"

"Hello," Linsey whispered, ignoring her brother. "What are you doing here?"

"I don't know really know," Jeb says after a moment.

In between them Jaxon is still looking on. "Um…Hello? What is going on? Do you two know each other? Linsey? Jeb?"

"For Ozma's sake, Jaxon, you sound like a toddler," Linsey exclaims, finally tearing her eyes away from Jeb. "Yes, we have met," she says, looking back to Jeb. "Though we were not formally introduced."

She steps forward and holds out a hand. "I'm Linsey Winchester."

"Jeb Cain," the young captain says. "Pleasure to see you again, Miss Linsey," he continues, grabbing her hand to shake it. He stops himself from bringing her tiny hand to his lips.

"Indeed."

"Pleasure to meet - ? You two know - ?" Jax is muttering under his breath now, one hand on his forehead as he looks between Jeb and Linsey. "I have absolutely no idea what is going on."

"That's usually the case, Jax," Linsey says and she and Jeb laugh at the insulted look that crosses Jaxon's face before he pouts.

"Let's get some tea, shall we?" Linsey recommends and she and Jeb move towards the back leaving a slightly less insulted, but still very much confused Jaxon to run the store.

Linsey finds herself in a fit of giggles a few minutes later when both she and Jeb hear Jaxon from the front of the store exclaim "Daisy Guy!"
