"Hey, Dean, you got a minute?" Walker asked when they were the only ones clearing the table.  Everyone else had gone out back to enjoy the perfect October weather.  Dora and Charlie and Scarlett were spending the weekend and Garth had agreed to come down too in order to make it a party.

"Sure, Blue," Dean responded, "Whaddya, need ( Read more... )

"Happy Birthday, Sammy," said Dean.

Sam was helping Dean clear the dishes from the table.  Sam smiled.  "That dinner was awesome," he praised Dean.  Lisa, Ben, and Walker had disappeared to another part of the bunker, making Sam a bit suspicious about what they were up to.

"Maybe if you're a damn rabbit," Dean teased him.  It was the ( Read more... )

Lisa and Walker were waiting outside the door after they got Sam's call that everyone was on their way home.  That one word, "everyone", was all they needed to hear.

They didn't realize that "everyone" included Ben.

Mary rolled up first.  The Impala rumbled to a stop right behind the Mustang.  Ben got out of his car and ran to Lisa, hugging her.   ( Read more... )

Ben slid to his knees next to the motionless bodies of Sam and Dean.  He had staggered, head pounding, towards them as fast as he could since coming to after the blast.  He still felt like it had taken him forever to close the distance.

Dean's eyes stared up unfocused.  They were completely still. "NO!" Ben yelled into the sky.  Ben felt a ( Read more... )

Just as Sam finished the incantation, there was a low, earsplitting sonic boom.  The world went silent for Dean and the way Sam was wildly gesturing at him, it appeared Sam's hearing was gone too.  Dean felt the blood from his ruptured eardrums trickling down his neck.  He caught a glimpse of Austin who, with Nick at his side was staring, ( Read more... )

A short distance from the cabin, Dean sat by himself on a large rock next to the road.  A half-second later, a small breeze was the only thing that tipped him off that he was no longer alone.

"It is done," Cas reported to him.

"Awesome," replied Dean, sounding like it was anything but awesome.  "Will you be able to un-do it?" Dean asked.

"Everyone ( Read more... )

Sam and Dean arrived, rather breathless, outside of Austin's dorm room.  They'd seen Mary parked outside, so they knew Ben had probably found Austin.  They communicated without speaking and silently nodded in agreement as they drew their weapons.  Sam counted down under his breath, "three...two...one" and Dean kicked the door in.

Austin, sitting ( Read more... )

When Sam came back, Walker was rewarded with a soft, deep kiss for her breakthrough which left her rather breathless. (As Dean yelled, "get a room already," from the kitchen.)  She was about to suggest that they take a walk for some privacy when Sam very reluctantly stopped her.  "God, you don't know how much I DON'T want to do this, but I have ( Read more... )
