Anakin, wearing his best "don't screw with me today" expression, came into the classroom a few minutes late and slammed the door shut behind him.

His eyes moved immediately towards the area of the classroom where John Crichton normally sat.

The desk was empty.

The look in Anakin's eyes hardened more. "Today we begin our discussion about the seven deadly sins," he said, cloak sweeping out behind him as he paced. "Specifically, wrath, envy and pride."

If Anakin looked like the poster child for wrath at the moment, it had entirely escaped his attention. So had the blood that had dried on his shoulder.

"Pride is traditionally considered the original and most serious of the sins--the one that everything else can be traced back to. Dante--a famous writer on this world--described it as 'love of self perverted to hatred and contempt for one's neighbor.'"

"It's a very common human failing," Anakin continued. "Have you ever fallen for it--considered yourself to be so much smarter or better than your classmates? Or your teachers?" He shrugged. "Or are wrath or envy more your speed? Can you see how pride could lead to the other two vices we're discussing today?"

He waved a hand. "Pair up and talk about it."

Sam gave Dean an incredulous look. "That's totally different! Dawn isn't dangerous, and you know it. She'd never hurt anyone willingly."

"So not the point. Think about how you'd feel if I did that. That's how I feel about you right now."

Sam did think about it, and knowing that was how Dean felt only made him feel worse. "You know what? If that's how you feel, maybe you should go off with Alec. I'm sure the two of you can be very happy in whatever foxhole he makes you crawl into."

"Yeah, you're not being at all petty and vindictive," Dean snarked.

"At least I'm not letting my actions be controlled by my sex drive," Sam shot back.

"At least I have a sex drive."

And that was the point where Sam gave up on trying to come up with verbal responses, and took a swing at Dean instead.

The punch never landed.

"ENOUGH!" Anakin shouted, reaching into the Force and spinning the two desks--and the students in them--into opposite corners of the room. "Detention," he snapped. "For both of you."

"But--" Sam started, before realizing that backtalking to a teacher who could spin you across the room might not be the best idea in the world.

Dean gave Sammy an irritated glare. "Nice. Now look what you did."

"You were hardly helping," Anakin snapped back. "Now both of you shut up and pretend to be over the age of ten."

"He started it," Dean muttered sulkily.

"Oh shut up, I did not," Sam snapped.

"Both of you shut up," Anakin snapped again, "or by the Force, you'll be in detention until you graduate."

"Yes, sir," Sam said quietly, still glaring at Dean for good measure.
