[b]SAM[/b]

Sam was beyond glad to be finally moving onward and heading back to join the others once again. He didn't want to imagine what kind of chaos could have gone down with the group without him there to try and calm everyone down. Snapping those thoughts out of his head, he noticed it was a pretty good day weather wise which would mean in theory, their flight shouldn't be interrupted or delayed. He noticed the woman outside closing her room door but didn't see anything out of the ordinary, in fact nothing of their surrounding area of the motel parking lot was unusual. It all looked....normal. 

It was all normal until he noticed Anna step closer to him and almost cower for some unknown reason. He couldn't understand why she suddenly gripped onto him and was holding her head. "Anna? Hey...hey, what's wrong? Talk to me" he quickly snapped into protective and worry mode, looking down at her and placing a hand on her arm gently, trying to get her to look at him but it was absolutely no use whatsoever. 

He was aware of her whispering to herself but even he could barely make out what she was saying, only the 'no' that repeatedly escaped her lips could reach his ears. As she stepped away from him, he let go of her, figuring she needed room to breathe and he wasn't going to smother her, even though every part of her wanted to wrap her up in his arms and protect her from whatever it was affecting her. He even glanced around their surroundings to see if there was any threat he didn't initially spot but there was absolutely nothing. 

It was only when she finally caught her breath and spoke up again did he feel like he could breathe again and be less worried. Then the words reached his ears...need to see Cason. Internally he groaned, it was seeming like Cason was going to be a thorn in both his and Dean's side for all of the girls in their growing group. "Okay, I'll send Dean a text telling them to wait until we get back to them." he replied to her, reaching his hand out for hers as he pulled out his cell phone with his other hand. With the one hand, he quickly typed out his message to Dean and Mika in a group text, just to make sure at least one of them got the message: [i]'Guys, Stay put where u are until we get bk. AB needs to speak to Cason.'[/i] then hit send. 

[b]NATALIA AND MIKA[/b]

Seeing Dean get angrier and angrier by the second made Mika quickly learn that if this doesn't stay somewhat civil Dean would explode and there would hell to pay. They'd lose Natalia instantly if Dean did anything and she hated that she was inadvertently protecting Cason by trying to be the middle woman in this whole debacle. [i]"just once....I'd like to NOT be in the middle of their fights...just ONCE"[/i] she thought to herself. 

She even had to force herself to not react to Dean squeezing her hand tightly at Natalia's words and Cason's demeanor to the whole thing. Dean's next words made even Mika wince, just as Nat's words had moments before. She knew Dean's words would hurt and cut deep to Natalia, but she also knew they would only hurt because he was right. Nat HATED people being this close to her usually, Sam was the sole exception to her 'no touchy' rule as she put it. Even then, Nat had to give Sam permission to hold her, yet here was she was willingly and without any kind of hesitation, she was all clinging onto Cason and letting him be extremely close to her. "He has a point Nat, you won't even let Sam hug you unless you give permission" she spoke up, partially to show Dean that she wasn't taking any one side in this situation as she followed him into the room.

Natalia did find her brother's words extremely hurtful. Yet even she knew he was right. She didn't need Mika telling her that fact to know Dean was correct with his vicious tongue. "I don't need reminding of that..." she said, a bit quieter and less defiant than her previous words. She really didn't have the energy to fight with Dean anymore, and this morning was showing that after a while Dean always broke her down, no matter how much she fought back with him. She felt so little suddenly, her grip on Cason's arm loosening. She was thankful that Cason was trying to talk in this moment, but Dean seemed to only want to hear from her. 

"Cason is right...it IS complicated" she began saying, perching on the edge of the bed, interlinking her fingers to clasp her hands together. She didn't want to feel this level of vulnerability again, but she knew she couldn't dodge it forever. She certainly didn't want to fist fight with him or just run away and separate from the group. Things were getting too important right now for them to split. So, she did the only thing she could do...begin to tell some honesty. "You already know Cason was at the asylum where I was held for years, we've gone through that story...but what I didn't go into detail about was his role there." she sighed, looking at her hands and not her brother, scared to see his face. Hells, she was scared to any of their faces. 

"He literally went against his peers to keep me alive...more alive than the others were keeping me. He risked his own life to feed me proper food...not just water. He spent nights with me watching out for me and talking to me. He told me he'd find a way of getting me out alive, told me not to lose hope. I even remember one night he never came to my room...I wondered why. Turned out he got caught sneaking to see me. He got hurt to protect me Dean. To keep me alive long enough for Sam to find me that night. He was the one who lead Sam toward my room and tried leading you in that direction by even fighting other demons to help create a path for YOU." she explained, still too scared to look up at him. 

Her hands starting to shake as they remained clutched tightly. A tear beginning to form in each eye, but she was done with wiping them away. "We had a bond that until he came back into my life I had forgotten because I repressed so much of that time. That's why I'm close to him brother and I hope Cason, you don't mind I've explained this." she continued. "I'm done fighting and you wanted some honesty, so I'm giving it to you. "And yeah...we did get close last night, he made me remember who I was last night. I'm not asking you to like it, I'm just hoping you can see my point of view and try to understand it. If he's helping and I mean truly helping bringing you the sister you deserve to know, not the one you have known, then isn't it worth trying to deal with Cason being around?" 

Mika watched and listened to everyone the entire time, seeing the rawness in Nat gave Mika all the facts she needed to know. Nat was being truthful, and painfully so. It was difficult for her not to cry herself as she watched the youngest Winchester speak through her tears. Then her phone buzzed in her pocket, taking it out and seeing a text from Sam to both her and Dean. Flipping open her phone, she read the text and sighed.
