Charlie noticed something else in the kitchen that led her to a more somber discovery. She had noticed in the freezer the Winchester kept a lot of steak. When she and Sam were taking a break from studying to get snacks she commented on it. She was hoping for another funny anecdote, maybe get Sam to start bitching about Dean's unhealthy love of red meat.

"They're for black eyes." Sam answered her simply.

He continued when he saw Charlie's slightly surprised expression, "We tend to get banged up and it's hard to have a good cover story on the next hunt if we've still got a huge black and blue shiner. Steaks work so we try to keep them stocked up."

Charlie nodded her head while looking from Sam to the freezer. Seeing the boys so relaxed here in their new home it was easy to forget how often they actually suffered from injuries. They were lucky on the hunts when all they needed was a steak to help bring down the swelling of a black eye. If Cas hadn't healed them so often their bodies probably would have been one huge scar by now.

She was brought out of her thoughts by Sam's voice.

"I should show you the rest of our emergency medical supplies. It's good for you to know in case you ever need anything or you can help when we get hurt." Sam started leading her up to the first level.

"Oh wow." Charlie's eyebrows shot up as Sam switched on the light to the room about the size of a large walk in closet located near the bunker's entrance. Sam just leaned against the doorjamb letting her take it all in, looking cocky. Every wall was lined with bookshelves and every shelf was crammed with medical supplies. One entire bookcase was just rolls of gauze. Some things, like all the gauze, were clearly medical and marked with red crosses, other things Charlie wasn't so sure about until Sam explained.

They had found hedge clippers were the best for removing casts. They had boxes of fishing wire that were for stitches. It was stronger and easier to use and remove than thread and was very cheap. Sam explained their father used a regular sewing needle for stiches so they still had those, but Sam and Dean both found they preferred small fishing hooks instead because they were curved much like actual doctors needles. Again hooks were pretty cheap as well. They also kept a case of whiskey bottles that was strictly not for drinking and only to clean wounds. Sam admitted he thought Dean only left it alone because Dean was secretly hoping to let in age.
