Heaven looked a lot like the family dining room at Thanksgiving.
Both men sighed.
Both men startled at the sound of another in their slice of Heaven and began to look around.
The two Heavens were butted up against each other, with no wall between them. Jimmy looked across his dining room table loaded with food toward the computer lab and frowned. Jacob looked across the computers running no less than four quantum models, the equation for calculating distance between wormholes, the Penrose graphical notation and something that just might be the density matrix renormalization group and frowned.
“Who are you?” they asked at the same time.
“I asked you first.”
“Stop that!”
“I didn’t save the world for this shit,” Jacob muttered as his attention was drawn to the complex diagram on the monitor before him.
“I saved the world,” Jimmy yelled over at the other guy. “At least I helped.”
Jacob set both hands on the table and stood up to glare over the top of his monitor. “I got fried by an EM pulse the likes of which the Earth hasn’t seen since it was terraformed by our predecessors.”
“I’ve been exploded twice trying to save the world. First by Raphael, then by Michael. It was…trying,” Jimmy said faintly as he rubbed his forehead. He still wasn’t sure that God had put all of him back together correctly, even though God created him in the first place. It was just that…exploding. Twice. Was hard on a vessel.
Jacob narrowed his eyes and crossed his arms across his chest. “I was shot once in the leg and twice in the back, and I still managed to get up and slap the mechanical device into the stop-key, thereby saving the world.”
Jimmy matched the other guy’s stance. “I was a vessel for an angel. He exploded twice. I exploded twice and still got shoved into a tiny part of my own body when Castiel returned.”
Despite the one-up they were doing, that caught Jacob’s curiosity. “You had an out-of-body experience?”
Jimmy huffed, “No, you moron. I had an angel inside me!”
“I was handcuffed for hours.”
“I was chained to a comet for two years.”
Jacob blinked. The man couldn’t mean literally. “Did I mention being fried while saving the world?”
Jimmy sighed and mournfully replied, “At least you were in control of your own body.”
FILLED Heaven x2
