[b]MIKA CHAMBERS[/b]

When Dean admitted finally that he actually liked her leggings choices it made her smirk all the more, even if it was because it meant it was easier to get her undressed, thus benefiting him as well herself. That was the Dean she knew and loved so much, the Dean she missed more than anything else she had lost in her life. It was in this very moment that she was so thankful that the night before didn't tear them apart once again, that they could get passed it and still remain together and strong, something that wouldn't have happened a while ago, Esme's presence in his life proving just that. 

She knew as he was pulling his boots on that he was partly in his own head, which was what prompted her to ask if he was okay. After he admitted to her what happened to him in Hell, before telling anyone else, she was determined to help him process being back and everything that happened, to be the girlfriend he so deserved. So when he finally responded to her after a brief moment of seeming to not hear her, she internally sighed with relief. 

"I know and no matter what, we'll do all we can to help you get that time to process everything. You won't have to do it alone" she told him, totally understanding where he was coming from. No matter how much she ever tried to forget it, she could still remember how she was when she was eighteen and hiding up in the attic just to avoid every single possible face that would come into Bobby's, because she just couldn't process she was still alive when she should have been dead and her parents weren't around anymore. She had of course managed to live with that as time went on, but that didn't mean she just forgot what it was like to be in that dark empty void in one's head. 

As he stepped up to her back, she looked in the mirror she was in front to look at him as he buried his head into her neck, the silent action that said a thousand words to her of how much he truly did love her and needed her as much as she needed him. She placed her hand ontop of his, partially linking their fingers on her hip as she listened to his suggestion and smiled, her free hand coming up and over to the back of his head, weaving her fingers into his hair. The idea of taking a long vacation like a normal couple kept the smile on her face, "I would love nothing more, lord knows we deserve it" she replied to him. Lowering her hand from his head, she turned in his grip to look at him, stroking his cheek with her thumb, "I will do everything I can to make that vacation happen. I love you" she told him. 

She knew they needed to get downstairs with their bags but right now, she also could see Dean just needed a couple of moments of normality, to breathe and refocus whilst gearing up to get back in the game. 

[b]NATALIA AND SAM WINCHESTER[/b]

As Nat hung the phone she really did hope that Josiah was okay and he would be able to cope with the wraith on his own, she hated to admit it but that guy really did manage to get under her skin in the most positive way and she did actually care about his friendship. Even if he was a lot more open about how he became a hunter than she was, and only let him know she was the younger half sister of the Winchester boys. 

Not only that she now had all the extra information that he gave her about what they could expect when reaching their location and the fact that there were plans already put in place to keep them all as far back from the witches as possible so the seal could be broken quite honestly terrified her, not that she was willing to let that show. She knew she'd have to tell people, especially her brothers but how does she just drop the extra barrage of information on them like that, when they were already concerned about even succeeding in the first place? 

Hearing Sam talk to Annabeth helped to bring her out of her own thoughts as she then caught a glimpse of what Cason was doing to Esme which made her very briefly raise an eyebrow then lower it again in a speed that quite literally meant if anyone blinked they would have missed her reaction to the two of them. Though in a strange weird way she was almost rooting for the two of them as it selfishly meant it would possibly help Dean and Mika's relationship remain strong at the same time. She may think Esme was an alright woman, and actually dare she say it, like the woman, but she would always be biased and root for her brother and Mika over anyone else because of her ties with the two of them. 

Sam listened to Annabeth and smiled, glad that Natalia's ways was bringing a smile to Annabeth knowing that if those two were ever in a room together on their own a lot of stories would be shared between them and they'd be a force no doubt they'd all have to worry about. He could easily see Nat getting protective over Annabeth, even if she would try and keep up her abrupt and closed off personality. He knew his sister better than anyone and knew what a heart of gold she truly had. He just wished she would at some point actually tell them what the demons did to her in that damn asylum and why she was even there. 

He let Annabeth go over and hold onto him whilst she still could, bringing his own hand up onto her shoulder and using his thumb to stroke it. "I know, and trust me. Despite what you've seen of Mika recently, she is a softie really and I'm pretty sure she now remembers you too, so it shouldn't be too hard to get along with her." he told her, "and don't worry I'll be fine with Dean in his impala. Nat jests about the arguments but it never ends in one of us falling out of the car or being beaten up. I'll keep texting you between discussions so you know I'm alright, not to mention if Dean is a pain in my ass I can tell you and you can rat him out to Mika" he smirked with a chuckle, knowing Mika would call him out for being an utter ass when they all stopped driving. 

"He actually listens to her...contrary to popular belief and past things" he chuckled, before noticing Nat was in her own little world all of a sudden after being on the phone again to someone she called Jo. "you alright Nat?" he asked her, snapping her out of her mind. "Yeah, seems my contact Josiah? He's been put on the same mission as us and he knows that demons and such have put up all kinds of barricades metaphorically speaking to stop and I quote "the winchesters". He warning me because he knows I'm your sister." she said back at him, and it was almost hard to tell if her tone was of somber infliction or matter of factly speaking. 

"Damn...Dean is not going to like that" Sam said.
