Supernatural - Hell On The Horizon

MIKA AND SAM

Sam and Mika both knew that Anna had a point when it came to Duke. In Mika's mind, the longer Duke was with Esme, the longer she had with Dean. In Sam's mind, he just thought about annoyed Duke would probably be over being pulled away from Esme to do his actual job. Sam was just thankful that Duke was actually good at his job, or it would make things a lot more difficult for him. The last thing Sam wanted was to fire Duke over his 'activities' with Esme. He just hoped once again that it wouldn't cause issues between this company and the station. "Thank you Anna" Sam replied whilst Dean spoke to Mika, asking for help, which he thought was a tad unprofessional, but then again, if Esme was basically having an affair with Duke, Sam didn't really feel he could think anything of Dean's relationship with his secretary.

After Anna walked over toward Esme's office, he stood back with a nod to Dean, then walked over and waited by the mini couch near Mika's desk for Duke to make sure he and Anna were good to go before he even thought about leaving, whilst Mika stood up. "Of course Mr.Smith" she replied with a smile, sweeping a strand of hair behind her ear, agreeing to his request to help him with whatever it was in his office, if it was in fact, anything work related at all. If it was something else? She wasn't going to complain about that either. She loved it when they could sneak private time in his office, it felt so rebellious.

When everyone knew what they were doing, Mika walked with Dean to his office, holding her laptop in her hands and against her chest to look like she was at least going there on a professional basis and nothing else. She wasn't oblivious to a lot of things, but she was oblivious to the fact that more of her colleagues knew about her affair with Dean than she thought. So she always did what she could to look like she wasn't banging the boss behind his wife's back. "So what can I help you with Mr.Smith?" she asked him, an ever so slightly flirty tone in her voice as she spoke now they were just far enough away from everyone else on this floor.

Cason wrapping his arm over her entire thigh didn't phase her one bit, in fact, it did the complete opposite. She found it calming and just convinced her mind even more that he was just as into her, as she was him. She listened to what everyone was telling her and could tell that they all meant what they were saying. It just reminded her why she considered Rosie the best manager in the world and the boys as the best bodyguards in the world. "thanks....all of you" she told them sincerely before watching Beau heading to the door and deciding that enough was enough and they were going to get the hell out of this room. It was then, even she heard the security outside starting to usher the fans out of the way.

She stood up from where she was sat and took a deep breath to prepare herself for the walk down the hallway. The letter was still playing on her mind and wondering what the hell this mysterious creep wanted with her. She had heard of the stories of certain girls going missing after a stranger stalked them and she prayed that this wasn't that situation, but her mind kept racing right back to the 'what if it is? Am I truly the next victim?'. Right now however, she had to stop herself thinking of the worst case scenario and solely focus on the sound check and evening's show.

When it was okay to do so, she started to walk toward the door, staying close to Cason, listening to what he was whispering to her. Just as she was convincing herself, not to think about the creep, Cason brought him right back to the forefront of her mind. "If you wanna know that, you can have my phone to find out because I don't wanna know the answer" she whispered back to him as she walked through the hall, letting Beau keep everyone out of arm's reach of her. As fans and paparazzi called out her name, she faked a smile and gave a little wave, but overall, she tried to not interact with anyone at all, even if it would risk people thinking she was being rude and unlike herself. Her life was possibly in danger right now, and she didn't have the time or energy to pretend being nice to strangers. She slipped her phone into Cason's suit jacket pocket so he could look after it and if wanted, message the creep himself under the pretence it was her. "You know my pin code to get into the phone" she whispered, seeing the green room in sight and sighing with relief.

---

In the green room, she let her shoulders drop slightly as she threw her jacket and bag onto the couch that they had given her. Hayley instantly ran over and gave her a hug, to which she reciprocated gladly. "Hey Hayley" she softly spoke. "Where as the other girls?" she asked. "On the stage warming up" Hayley replied simply, "you okay though? You look a bit shaken up, is it due to that note?" her best dancer and friend asked. "Yeah a bit, but I'll be okay" she told her honestly. "my boys have it under control..as does Rosie" she smiled. "So why don't we meet up with the others and get this sound check done? I could do with singing to relax" she softly chuckled as if to convince herself that singing and dancing would cure everything that was whirling around in her head. "Beau, Cason? Ready to deal with the hoard to get me and Hayley to the stage?" she asked them both.

MIKA AND SAM

As Dean stepped up to look at what they were looking at, she found herself struggling slightly to remain professional. Despite knowing that her brother was no undoubtedly not being professional in the slightest in Esme's office. He just had the advantage of privacy, whereas she had two other people next to her. She listened as everyone discussed what the theories are at this moment in time and judging by the closeness in the photos of Natalia and Cason, along with Dean confirming that Cason was personally requested by Natalia more often than not? She had to agree that it was highly possible there was something between them and if they weren't secretly dating already, it wouldn't be long before they did start dating. Mika had to admit, they did make a super cute couple and it felt so Hollywood movie of the two of them.

"Can you reverse search the poster article to get an IP address of where it originated from?" she asked Sam, who seemed to look slightly surprised that she even know what that was. "I'm not just a stunning face ranger, I know my tech speak" she smirked, gaining a smirk from Sam in response. "We probably can back at the station, so do me a favour and forward this email to my work email and I'll get that sorted ASAP" He replied to her, watching her nod and doing just as he requested. "Okay, done!" Mika confirmed, "Thanks" Sam acknowledged. It was then Sam looked toward Dean, again, getting once again a feeling of familiarity of him, but just shaking it off mentally. "Okay, what I can do right now is double check with the venue that they have security there to help with the situation on the ground, whilst also after heading back to the station and get on finding the source of where this anonymous poster is coming from".

Sam then turned toward Anna, "I want you to go with Duke to the venue and help him find out what the situation is over there whilst I head back to the station" he requested of her, knowing that if Duke was with her she would be safe amongst the crowds of people. He figured it would be so much quicker if they split up and Duke was the best person to be on the ground at the venue.

Nat hated that her confession made Cason lower his head for a moment as he thought upon what she just told him. Then amongst all the stress of everything, he made her heart flutter by calling her honey. "I know now that it's not nothing..."she sighed, accepting Cason's hand on her knee when Rosie made it clear that she had overheard her conversation with Cason about the weird texts. Then came the all too familiar ‘non lecture’ about keeping things from them all, when she should be telling them what’s going on. “Sorry Rosie, old habits die hard I guess.” she replied initially, before letting out a sigh and deciding to clue Beau and Rosie in on what she just told Cason. “Yes, some creep keeps texting me from an unknown number. At first I thought it was just spam, or some prank by the band or girls, but it’s not. I have no idea who it is, they don’t ever give a name, just weird messages and nothing else. Now Hayley says there’s a note for me in the green room.”

Just as she finished talking, Hayley sent back a message with the picture of the letter and it made her blood run cold. ‘All the luck for tonight my love, see you backstage lovebug. Forever yours and I'll stop ANYONE who stands in the way of our love’. She couldn’t put her finger on it, but something about it felt so familiar in the most unnerving manner. She tried to keep a hold of her phone as her hand began to shake. She was so grateful at this point that she had two incredibly skilled bodyguards by her side, and one tough manager. All she wanted was to put on a good show, make fans happy, not feel like she had to watch over her shoulder every two seconds.


"I'd really like it if the security could arrive already, so I can get sound check started..." she finally plucked up the courage to say after a moment of brief disassociation from the note's words scaring her to her core. She was terrified and part of her didn't want to do the show tonight, but she also didn't want to let down her actual fans either. She adored them with all her heart and was so aware if it wasn't for their support, she wouldn't be where she was today.

MIKA AND SAM

Sam squinted harder at the article that Mika got sent in an email, scrutinising the photos harshly, making sure he didn't miss anything that could potentially be useful information or a clue about this serial stalker. In all honesty, this case was driving him mad as it always felt like that the suspect was one or two steps ahead of them all, making them play catch up. He was aware of the direction that Duke walked in after showing baby brother affection to his sister and praising Anna's observation skills. Yet right now, Duke's whereabouts wasn't his top priority, and he did trust the guy's job skills. He noticed Anna's facial expression change ever so slightly as she was looking through the images but kept it to himself....for now. Instead, he let Anna speak up about a possible theory of Natalia and this bodyguard of hers. "It's possible I suppose, but I don't think anything has ever been confirmed about whether this girl is actually seeing anyone. Surely her hoard of fans would have dropped that info online and such by now if it was true?" He replied, though seeing how there was a very discreet lot of hand holding in some of the images, it wouldn't surprise Sam if there was a secret relationship going on between this singer and bodyguard.

During this, Mika noticed that Esme and Dean had entered the offices and with a smile, she greeted them both to look professional, albeit she only really meant it toward Dean. She let Duke and Dean discuss what they were before Duke went straight to Esme, which made her smirk ever so slightly and as discreetly as she possibly could, knowing her little brother was just as bad as she was when it came to the Smiths. "I got an email in this morning sir with what I can only describe as sly paparazzi shots of our client Natalia. They seem to think it's something" she explained, to which Sam nodded and waved for Dean to come on over. "Tell me Mr.Smith, is there anything going on between this bodyguard and Natalia?" he asked, pointing toward Cason in the images and the hand holding. "Because right now I don't care if it's unprofessional for your staff to be getting intimate with your clients or not, all I care about is getting some idea of why this anonymous poster is trying to claim Natalia is the next target to this stalker, or if it's even the same one targeting the others." he explained.

NATALIA

When Cason called her out on all her micro-expressions, Natalia realised she should have known better than to think he wouldn't have noticed. He may be the person she was falling hard for, but he was a bloody good bodyguard and at keeping her safe, as well as noticing all her little motions of discomfort. Sighing, she briefly closed her eyes before re opening them to look at Cason. "Hayley said that she found a random note for me in the green room by some unknown person, when they got in there just now. Normally I wouldn't be freaked out by that, it's not that unusual right? But...but this unknown number keeps texting me creepy messages and I think whoever they are, they're out there amongst that crowd..." she finally came clean with what was worrying her, whilst trying to not let her voice tremble or shake too much that would alert the other two. It didn't matter to her that it was quite literally Beau and Cason's jobs to look after her and search for potential threats, but for some reason, something in her gut was telling her to not want either of them get involved with whoever this creep was. She couldn't understand why, but something was telling her that whoever this was, the two men could get truly hurt and she didn't want that on her conscience.

"I probably just sound crazy and it's probably nothing, I'll just get a new phone and number...." she tried to just shake it off, but her hand holding her phone was betraying any kind of false confidence she was trying to convince Cason she had. She didn't want to say 'I'm scared' outright, but truth be told, she was. She then quickly text Hayley back, 'glad you got in okay! We're in a glorified janitor's closet right now waiting for security to break up the crowd outside.' then she hesitated before deciding to just add 'open the letter and take a pic please' then hit send. She just prayed that she wouldn't regret making that request.

MIKA

As she waited for her bosses to make it into work, Mika continued to shift through all the emails, jotting down anything that would be classed as important and would need Dean Smith’s attention. Judging by what she had to work through, it was going to be a busy day for the company, which usually meant it would be a working lunch if she was unlucky. She hoped that wouldn't be the case as they weren't her favourite kind of days, but it was something she was unfortunately used to.

As she worked, she barely took note of the voices getting closer and louder until Duke practically jumped onto her desk and picked up her name plate. She smirked and scoffed at his greeting, taking her name plate out of his hands and putting it back where she liked it on her desk. Everything in it's place, and a place for everything. A motto she liked to adhere to. “Wondered how long it would be before my annoying little brother would show up” she teased, glancing up at him from her computer. “If you're here to see Mr.Smith, he's not here yet. But I don't doubt it won't be long before he arrives if you don't mind waiting?” She explained to him, and to his captain and Anna. It was surprising to see Anna with them when she was usually the receptionist at the station, and that got her wondering what was happening that meant the three of them had to come to her work place. She purposely didn't mention Esme, which was pretty usual of her to do as she didn't like the woman, even though Duke most certainly did. It was no secret between the siblings that Duke and Esme were having a fling behind Dean's back, they shared everything with each other- just like he knew how much she liked Dean. She just hoped that Esme wouldn't break her brother's heart.

Snapping out of her thoughts, she turned her head back to her screen when yet another email pinged through, distracting her attention. Opening it up, her eyebrow rose in curiosity as she began to read the contents; ‘Breaking News: Singer Natalia becomes latest victim to the recent stalker epidemic. Will this finally make the rangers do something?! Read below for our thoughts!” “oh…this isn't good…” she commented, as she continued to scroll through the email disguised as a news article. It was then she saw photos attached and she wasn't sure if she wanted to click on them. “Uhh, I think you two might want to see this before Mr. Smith gets here” she spoke up to Sam and Duke, swirling her computer screen round as far as it would go for them to look at it.

NATALIA

Just from the smile alone, Natalia knew Rosie wasn't fully believing her when she said she was okay. Rosie knew her like the back of her hand, she wasn't just her manager, she was the best damn manager a girl could ask for, even if she was a pain in Nat’s ass a lot of the time as well. Yet it didn't matter how much Nat wished Rosie would get off her back sometimes and actually allow her breaks, she didn't trust anyone else to be her manager. She trusted Rosie and her two bodyguards with her life, especially in moments such as these. All she wanted was to get to the green room to dump her things, go through her briefing for the sound check and then head to the venue stage and do what she loved.sing and perform. Yet outside this stupid room stood press and fans who should not have gotten inside craving a piece of her like she was simply a piece of meat or the latest fashion must have item. As much as she loved the fame and her fans, she hated feeling like an object and not a person. Now there was the extra fear that she had gained a stalker who wouldn't stop contacting her via a withheld number and she had no idea who they were, but it seemed they were in that crowd on the other side of that door that was keeping them safe.

She looked around for something to sit on when Cason created a seat out of an old bucket and his jacket, after he explained about not getting through to anyone to solve this issue. She let him tug her slightly to make her sit down, watching his every move as he smiled softly at her and reassured her this little problem would get sorted. It was times like these when she wished he wasn't her bodyguard as she knew there were rules and regulations that could not be crossed between guard and those who they were guarding, but every time he treated her like this, she remembered how much she was falling for him as a person. Nodding at his words, she gave a small smile, “I know… I always see him as my bulldog who doesn't let go when he's got his teeth into something” she said quietly, so hopefully Beau wouldn't hear. Even if the mental image was quite amusing to her during this stressful moment. As Rosie continued to speak on the phone, she tried to discreetly reach out for Cason's hand, when her phone buzzed with a message, but this time from one of her backing dancers.

‘hey girl, it's chaos out here! Hope you're safe. We've just managed to get in and to the green room. Hollah if ya need anything! Oh! There's also a random note here for you’.

Reading the note, a lump got stuck in her throat as the worst thoughts rushed through her mind of who the note may be from, before Beau’s voice snapped her out of her thoughts. “Yeah…yeah I'm fine. The girls made it to the green room.” She replied, just as Rosie got off the phone, and explained what the current plan was. She watched as Beau stayed close to Rosie and it was clear he had a soft spot for her, even more so after he suggested just he and Rosie go out for drinks in the evening, making Cason roll his eyes. Did Beau know she had a crush on Cason? No…he couldn't…could he? “After today, I wouldn't blame you if you wanted to, Rosie. I'll be fine with Cason tonight” she added, wanting Rosie to be happy and have fun.

SAM

Sam gave a nod as he listened to what Duke had to say about what his sister had heard or knew about the recent stalker cases. What did perk his interest was the little tidbit of information Duke mentioned about a possible high profile victim. “Okay, we'll have to get in touch with the firm to discuss some kind of gameplay and find out who this high profile victim is.” He suggested, when Anna broke their concentration to let Duke know he had a phone call. Waving his colleague off to answer the call, he decided to try and shift through some of the files he had intended to work on before Duke walked over. This stalker case was honestly really getting under his skin, the longer it went on. He wished he knew how to catch the culprit and every attempt up until now worked, but every time they thought they came close to solving it, the culprit disappeared into the aether. It was a massive headache for him and he hated not being able to bring good news to the victims once and for all.

Anna's voice broke him out of his thoughts, making him take his hat off, placing it on the table beside him and give a light smile to her question and comment about Duke. “I guess I'm pretty much like any other guy at a BBQ. Ice cold beer with the food and whisky for after if I feel up to it.” He replied. “I'm a simple man deep down, even if it doesn't seem like it in the workplace” he smiled at her. She really was adorable in Duke's hat, mostly because it seemed far too big for her. He forced the unprofessional thoughts to the back of his head when the sound of the phone handset clicking down made him glance towards Duke's direction. “Mr. Smith asking for you directly? Now that's something. Considering you're not the captain here” he smirked, but then went quiet as Anna and Duke spoke amongst themselves. Picking up his hat, he stood up and away from his desk. He didn't like the idea of Anna tagging along, mostly for her safety, but at the same time, maybe she could get information out of Duke's sister that not even Duke could get. Another female being around could be useful. “Okay…let's get moving.” He agreed.

—--------

At the firm, he introduced himself, showed his badge and asked to head up to Mr.Smith’s office. With that agreed upon, he lead the way to the elevator and then down the hall towards the office. “Remember, best behaviour both of you. We need as much information as we can get out of this firm, so stay professional Singer”. He ordered Duke, knowing what he could be like around Mika.

Just as he predicted, his words went on deaf ears as Duke went over to his sister in a typical manner that only Duke could do, making Sam roll his eyes and sigh. “He never listens” he mumbled under his breath. He stood back as Duke did what Duke did before stepping up to Mika, “thank you” he said after Mika explained that her boss was not in the office yet. He guided Anna over to the couch opposite for them to wait at, and hoped Duke would follow but it seemed the siblings were too focused on being just that…siblings. Then Mika's demeanor seemed to change which interested Sam, making him stand up again as she told her and Duke that they might want to look at something she just got through. Walking over, he leaned over the desk, looking at the screen and reading what she got. “May I?” He asked, signalling at the mouse, to which Mika obliged, pushing it over to him. Using it, he scrolled down and clicked on the attachment, seeing photos of Natalia walking down various streets, coming in and out of seemed like her home and zoomed in photos of her holding hands with the shorter bodyguard of hers. “This fits the MO of the previous stalkers…” he remarked.

The moment Fia called her out for subject switching, Kay got the feeling that things didn't change too much in the future and Kay had the habit of subject switching as a style of avoidance enough that Fia knew the signs too well. The very notion made Kay roll her eyes so not to make a quip back at the teenager. An attempt at the being the adult. Her eyes flickered up when Lucifer walked over, lifted her hand, kissed it and introduced himself and Maze, a woman that made Kay feel slightly on edge. Or was it Fee who was the one feeling on edge? Kay couldn't really tell too well. "What's to tell? Thought for the longest time I was utterly insane and paranoid, only to find out I'm neither of those things, demons are chasing me to use me as a weapon because I'm part phoenix" she told him in an abbreviated version of her story. She didn't know what else to say, especially as she felt like she had already said too much to this man already.

"Not come across your kind in a very long time, thought they were extinct" Maze commented flatly, not giving anything away with her tone, whilst she flicked her knife back and forth in her hand. "Well my very being is proving that different" Kay replied. "I don't like this Kay, my child. Being this close to a very old demon makes me nervous" Fee spoke in Kay's head cautiously.

Fia watched the whole exchange happen between them all, looking around the room to try and guage the level of tensions in the room, only to find Drake rubbing his head, just as Kay was. "You okay Drake?" She asked him.

MIKA

Having reached her work place, Mika walked in, swiped her ID card to get through the barrier at the entrance and headed toward the elevator so she could head up to her required floor. She greeted fellow staff as she passed them with a smile and reached the elevator, pressing the button to call for it when her phone pinged with a few emails coming in. Scoffing, she decided to wait until she got to her computer. With the elevator arriving, she stepped inside, once again greeting colleagues that were already inside. "you look flustered this morning" her female colleague and friend commented with a smirk. "I woke up late this morning, thought I was gonna be late Kate" Mika replied. "Well you're lucky, neither of them have made it into work yet, so you live another day!" Kate teased, causing Mika to nudge her work friend in the shoulder with a soft light chuckle.

Kate then leaned in and whispered in Mika's ear, "speaking of which...what's the game plan in the flirting today?" which made Mika smirk, "I don't know what you're talking about Kate" she whispered back, "Oh come on...this is me you're talking to, it's obvious you and boss man have eyes for each other" Kate spoke once more, before exiting the elevator with her when they reached their floor. "keep your voice down!" Mika replied in a hushed manner, but slightly louder than a whisper. "yeah yeah!" Kate brushed her off and went over to her own area on the floor, whilst Mika headed to her desk outside of Dean's office.

Putting her bag down, she sat down and turned the computer on to get a head start on the emails that had begun to come through. She was honestly surprised still that she made it into work before her bosses, but at the same time she was thankful for it as it meant they didn't need to know she was close to being late in.

SAM

As he pulled a file off the pile that was on his desk, he looked up at hearing Duke coming over and slapping his little wall. "At this moment, unless we get a call in, it's a whole load of paperwork and maybe one case? I'll forward you the email" Sam replied, turning to his computer and finding the email in question about a stalker that seems to be targeting several people. "It's a weird one but let me know what you think about it" he explained, before turning back to the file he was about to look at before Duke came over.

As he glanced it over, he saw it was a completed case and he wondered why it was left on his desk, only to find he had signed it off. So he did so and then put it to one side. "you heard from your sister at the security corporation lately? If there's anything to the case in the email or we get more reports, it might be worth getting in touch with her work place again to figure something out" he commented, remembering that Duke had contacts in places that would be beneficial to them all.

He glanced behind them both at Anna briefly before looking back forward again, trying to be discreet but he wasn't as discreet as he probably thought he was being.

NATALIA

Beau's pacing just made Natalia more nervous abut the crowd that was outside their room. For someone who was so professional and usually such a stickler for the rules, his pacing felt ever so slightly out of character for him, but yet, not out of character at the same time. "Beau, can you stop pacing?" she requested, but it seemed to go on deaf ears as Beau just went on a rambling tirade about needing to call in the other security team to help get them out of this situation. She didn't like the idea of having to sit around and wait this out, and now she had the new text running through her mind on top of it all. She hoped Rosie would show up soon, even if she was a hard ass for an manager.

As they waited, she decided to pull on her oversized hoodie that she was holding in her hands, pulling the sleeves right over her hands for comfort. Then the door started getting banged on and she instantly tensed up, thinking someone from the crowd was trying to get inside, until they all heard Rosie's voice shout through that it was just her. This made Natalia sigh with relief whilst Beau let the woman inside, quickly closing the door and Cason started to call security to see what was taking so long and demanding they had a lot of them arrive. As Rosie asked if she was alright, she nodded, "yeah, yeah..I'm fine, just not enjoying being locked in this damn room when I could be doing sound check or something" she half lied, not wanting to get into the text situation just yet still.

Her receiving creepy messages was the last thing Beau, Cason and Rosie needed to be dealing with at this moment when they had this current situation to sort out. She also was aware of how much Beau had previously flirted with Rosie and that was creepy enough for her to witness, and not something she wanted to witness when she had a job to do. She glanced over at Cason who was seemingly still on the phone and she couldn't help but smile softly and briefly before giving him a questioning look of 'getting anywhere with security?'.

MIKA

The way Dean pulled the blanket back before grabbing her legs and pulling her closer to him told Mika that he just knew she was struggling with being back more than she was trying to let on. It reminded her of how well Dean knew her and all her quirks and body language signs in a way that no one else did- Duke possibly being the only other one capable of such a skill. Not even Bobby knew everything and he knew her inside out. She leaned into him as he began to rub her back comfortingly, an action that always worked on her as he told her not to apologise for being alive. Yet that very fact scared her to her core because she didn't even know if she was human anymore, or if she was, why was her revival so different to Dean's or even Sam's? He may be telling her she's alright but she didn't feel alright at this moment. She was too overwhelmed and her head was a cluster of noise that she couldn't decipher any of it. So all she could do was nod before resting against him, the comfort of familiarity of his touch and his smell being of small comfort, but comfort nonetheless.

She remained silent as Dean called out to Cason after looking around at everyone trying their hardest to keep an eye on her whilst trying to give her space. Something she wasn't sure if it was better or worse than crowding around her. She didn't even have the energy to fight the suggestion of a bath run for her, just accepted others deciding things for her, a couple of people at a time. The only suggestion she was accepting of was Anna's of grabbing her some fresh clothes as she didn't want to hijack Duke's shirt for longer than necessary, even though it was incredibly comfortable and reminded her of the older days when she'd call him away from Dean and Esme to come after her and he'd wrap either his jacket or shirt around her when she needed it. She was aware of Cason dragging Nat away and to the downstairs bathroom to help before listening to Dean tell Sam not to gossip about deals and the like in front of her.

She hated that they felt they couldn't discuss those things around her, but she was also glad they weren't going to continue talking about it. She looked up at Dean when he turned his attention back to her asking her more questions, “I feel a lot of things...fear, confusion, relief, guilt… I feel like I don't know who I am anymore… I feel and hear so much static in my head, but nothing is clear…”she began to explain, her frustration of the situation making her voice crack and shake, desperately wanting her to just explode emotionally. “I remember the warehouse, Alastair breaking out of his chains, I remember… I remember getting into a fight with him and being pinned…” she began to try and filter her memories, her head hurting and causing her to wince from the pain, reaching up with one hand to press against her temple. “I remember hearing others coming into the room before…before looking down at you on the ground…then it went black…” she began to let the tears fall as she looked up at him, wishing she could remember more.

“Just so much darkness…in my head where memories should be” she commented, rubbing her head forcefully, desperately attempting to not just punch memories back into view in her head, her fist shaking from her holding it back. She wanted to lash out at herself or make a run for it despite her legs just not having the strength to do so but she couldn't. She couldn't bear pulling away from Dean when it was becoming clear to her that he was more worried about her than he was outwardly showing. “I'm sorry Dean…I wish I could remember more right now, I hate this” she apologised yet again.

As everyone continued to filter out of the room for one excuse or another, Mika found herself falling asleep on Dean when those broken memories began to focus, causing her to flinch and shift in her sleep then wake up startled and panting but as she looked around, she wasn't in Bobby's house anymore. The main room was bright, airy, clean and large. The couch she was on alone, a light grey fabric, plush and new feeling. Something was wrong, but her mind refused to let her see why it was wrong. Glancing down at her phone on the coffee table in front of the couch, she saw the time. “Shit! I'm gonna be late for work!” She cursed, punching up and running into her bathroom to quickly shower before stepping out, get dressed in her grey and white two piece skirt suit and rush out the door, grabbing car keys and her travel mug on the way out.

The sun was bright, causing her to shield her eyes as she got in her car and drove to her work place. “Please don't let me be too late and get fired” she wished out loud.

Nat agreed that running a bath for Mika was a good idea and would relax Mika a great deal if she lets it. She knew it helped her when things got hard for her and they were on the road. “We'll be right back” she told Dean and Mika as Cason pulled her with him towards Bobby's room and grumbling about how he thinks a bath would be good for her. “I agree, looking at her I can tell she has broken memories in that head of hers and she's struggling to accept that. It's like looking in a mirror of when I was like that. She's gonna need us all, whether she likes it or not” she replied as he pulled his sleeve down to be able to open the door and lead the way in.

As she stepped through the door right behind Cason, she too got blinded by all the flashing lights and voices screaming her name, begging her to look at their cameras. She put her head down as she felt a hand dragging her through the crowd and into another room in the building, the door closing behind them all where they could all catch their breath. As Cason came over and swept her hair behind her ear she nodded. “Yeah, yeah I'm fine, I don't think so” she replied, looking down at herself, clad in a faux leather crop top and tight skinny jeans and heels, as if to check she was good, whilst also trying not to blush at Cason's touch.

“They shouldn't have even gotten into the building, the security here is crap!” She complained to the two men when her phone buzzed and she figured it would be just her manager, so she pulled it out of her pocket and saw it wasn't her manager but the same unknown number that had been texting and calling her for a few days now. ’you look so beautiful today’ the text read and it creeped her out, causing her to instinctively look over her shoulder toward the door that was holding back the press.

Looking back towards Cason and her other bodyguard, she quickly stashed her phone back in her pocket, deciding to try and ignore the creepy text. She wanted to tell them both she was being stalked but she knew at least one of them would overreact and she didn't want to let down her fans. She also didn't want to risk losing what little freedom she still had left. So if she could just pretend everything was fine just long enough for this show of hers, she could admit her concerns afterwards.

SAM

Sam was glad that Anna believed that he was telling the truth. He kept his eyes on Dean and Mika as Dean scolded them for talking about deals and Mika's resurrection almost as if Mika wasn't in the room and it made him instantly feel guilty for it. He hated thinking he was upsetting Mika more than she already was. "You're right..." he mumbled back to Dean just before Anna suggested that the two of them go find Mika some fresh clothes which made him nod in agreement. Now that he could most definitely do with ease as it wasn't like they turfed out any of her stuff in the three days she was officially classed as deceased.

Anna was right after all, they were all practically gawking at Mika as she was a zoo animal behind a cage and he knew Mika hated that more than anything under a normal circumstance, let alone in this situation. He followed Anna out the main room, letting her pull him toward the stairs and up to Mika's room where she opened the door and stepped through with him and something felt like it shot through him when the room felt brighter and wider than Mika's room. Glancing around it was clear they were in a station and not Bobby's house, he felt a ranger's hat on his head and as he looked down at himself, sporting full modern western gear. Glancing down at Anna and hearing her little joke, he couldn't help but chuckle. "Sorry" he smiled, patting her shoulder as she stepped away and went to his desk where he sat down and decided to log into his work computer to check his emails before moving onto any files or checking what calls came in that need priority.

As he worked, he suddenly heard his colleague and right hand man call over about a BBQ. "Huh? your infamous BBQ? Hell, I'm in!" he smiled as he called back, noticing that Anna was suddenly hiding behind her computer screen at her desk, as she blushed, thinking she was being discreet but really was. He knew she had a massive crush on him and he had a thing for her himself, but he never wanted to embarrass her so he didn't ever play on it as of so far. But maybe tonight at Jason and Anna's house, he might. If he could gather the confidence to do so.

MIKA

Mika kept a hold of Cason as he carried her inside the house, and listened to what his response, whilst being fully aware that Dean was extremely close by, not wanting to let her out of his sight. To hear that none of them made any deals surprised her immensely as she could have only imagined that being the scenario of how she was back and breathing. If none of the group made a deal then how did she come back? There was a part of her mind that could remember, but it was so shut off for the moment, she wasn't aware of it. "I'm surprised..." she replied to Cason as he carried her to the couch and placed her down before quickly draping blankets over her to get her warm and covered up. "thank you" she commented, feeling grateful for the blankets.

As Dean came barging passed both Cason and Duke, she wasn't sure if she was glad for him making a point of coming closer to her or slightly freaked out by the clingy behaviour. She let him touch her face and check her over for what she assumed was injuries she endured when she died, as much as she wanted to bat his hands away she knew she wouldn't win that fight so she just let him fuss over her and try and still accept she was alive again. As he ordered Cason to get her a bottle of water for her, Mika gave Cason another look of thanks, then glanced at Duke as he defensively told Dean to give her space. "Duke its okay..." she told him, hoping it would calm him but something told her it wouldn't be enough as Duke knew her far better than a lot of the group realised.

As Cason made it back to the couch, she took the water from him, taking a large drink, finishing a good half of the bottle in one hit before turning to Dean once more. "I...I'll be warm enough soon.." she replied to him, still feeling a tad cold but not to a shivering point. Mika held Dean's hand under the blanket feeling glad that she could feel his touch once more. She was aware of Duke suddenly going across to Esme, but she didn't turn and watch him, instead focusing on Dean to the best of her ability. "I'm just so thankful for being back with you..." she spoke, sniffling as she tried to not to cry all over again. She hated being emotional in front of so many people, but this was an extraordinary situation.

She listened to everyone chat about her resurrection like she wasn't in the room, and feeling all the eyes upon her made her feel nervous around them all for the first time in her life. "I'm sorry I scared you all..." she sniffled.

SAM

Sam kept Anna close to him as he could feel how much this whole situation had hit Anna emotionally. Once inside the house, he stayed back, not wanting to crowd Mika even though there was a part of him that wanted to hug Mika but it was clear to him that she was feeling overwhelmed and drained. Just as Anna previously said she didn't understand, neither did Sam. It was one thing for himself and Dean to come back from the dead at times, but the reality of seeing Mika come back from the dead was a lot to try and comprehend.

Then the question came from Anna whilst the others all either fussed over Mika or saw to their other half and stayed back. He looked down at her as he rested a hand over the top of hers that was holding onto his arm. "I didn't" he replied to her honestly, but that wasn't to say he was thinking about making a deal at one point when they were all grieving. He also tried to wrack his brain to see if Dean ever left the basement long enough to have done a deal himself, but he didn't think he ever saw Dean disappear from the house to do so. The only other person he could think would do it, was Duke but with the way he was and how much of a close eye Esme had on him the last few days, he couldn't imagine when Duke could have found the moment to do so.

"I'm not sure any of us made a deal" he then added after thinking it all through for a moment, his eyes moving from Anna back to Mika and Dean. There was no way Dean was going to be out of arms reach of her from now on for a long while, that much was clear to him.

NATALIA

As concerned about Mika Natalia was, she was still worried about Duke and she could feel how worked up he was getting over the fact that Dean was being super clingy and not really giving Mika room to breathe, so holding onto his arm felt like the only right thing to do in an attempt to try and keep him calm. She hated that even now, Duke and Dean were bickering about how to react around Mika and whether crowding her was the right thing to do or not. A large part of her agreed with Duke more than Dean as it was clear that Mika was still trying to comprehend it all herself.

As Cason got ordered to get Mika a water, she felt sorry for Cason being ordered about and gave him a sympathetic look as he walked passed them all to the kitchen. She would have to get Cason alone soon to see how he was or if he could sense anything from Mika without making him feel like she was asking him to go hunting for answers. As she turned her head back toward Mika again, she watched closely how Dean was fussing to a point that Duke remembered he wasn't beside Esme and let him go to his girlfriend.

Whilst Duke went to Esme and checked her over, she remained firmly in place watching her family get reacquainted again and there was a look in Mika's eyes that she recognised all too well- there was a part of her mind that wanted so desperately to remember what happened to her and if she could remember anything during her death. That look of knowing there was something in her head she just couldn't unlock yet, a look that Natalia had for so long until Cason came back into her life. "Don't strain your mind Meeko, I know how much you want to, I recognise that look" she said softly, causing Mika to briefly look at her and give her a nod of understanding before looking back at Dean again.

Nat's head quickly turned to Anna however when she asked who made a deal to bring Mika back and she instantly shrugged. "Wasn't me" she replied, stepping closer to Cason and wrapped her arms through his. Seeing Mika come back made her all the more thankful and feel lucky she still had Cason in her life. Continuing her watching over the family, she hoped that Bobby was being okay having his niece back, a part of her also wanting to go check on him the moment she thought it was appropriate to do so.

"From out of Nowhere" - SPN

NATALIA AND LEXI

The moment Cason leaned into her kiss, Nat just knew it cause a reaction out of Dean, even if it was minor. She just enjoyed every now and then getting under her brother's skin in a playful manner and not an malicious manner. It was her way of showing she knew her place as the annoying younger sister and she enjoyed living up to it, no matter how long it had been since she was last in the bunker for Cason's comfort.

She let Cason pile up her plate for her with food as he was closest and less likely to spill food everywhere compared to herself. She thanked him for the plate when he gave it to her and picked up a fork to begin eating with no hesitation whatsoever. She loved Cason's cooking, even if he did make her eat for the most part a lot healthier than she ever used to. She also didn't look twice when he flipped his legs up onto Anna's lap as again, it was pretty normal to see. They had become a unit, just as Dean had suspected, with Anna practically being being her best friend.

As she ate, she looked across the table at everyone briefly, seeing how Dean pulled Lexi's chair closer to him, along with her plate, clearly not wanting to be further from her than strictly necessary. It still panged at her heart seeing him be so clingy with another woman that wasn't Mika, but Lexi was slowly proving she could give as good as she got and maybe, just maybe, Nat could start giving Lexi a chance.

Lexi caught Nat looking across at them and she just gave her a small smile before picking up her own cutlery after Dean had pulled her chair closer to him. He seemed to be super clingy on this morning but she didn't mind, she just let him do what he felt he needed to to make himself feel comfortable or better. With her free hand, she reached across and gave his knee a comforting squeeze. She and Natalia both listened when he asked Anna how Duke was and whether or not he would ever come back to the bunker to visit, only to get that idea shot down.

Nat wasn't surprised Duke never wanted to come back here, it was difficult enough for herself to be back here, let alone someone like Duke who was incredibly close to Mika. She still could remember vividly how easily Duke found it to leave and choose to never come back. She really couldn't blame him for the decision as she was more surprised that Dean and Sam decided to stay in the bunker and keep it as their home.

It didn't take much for Lexi to guess why Anna said Duke would rather do pretty much anything than come back here as it seemed to be a theme with this family. It always bottled down to Dean's ex and that made Lexi feel even more determined to not overstep her mark with any of them, especially now she seemed to be somewhat becoming civil with Natalia.

SAM

Sam let the others all chat amongst themselves, also seeing that Nat seemed to be finally being nice to Lexi and not taking every opportunity to take a shot at her. It was a pleasant surprise but one he was going to appreciate greatly as it meant it was one thing that he or anyone else had to worry about. He began eating his breakfast, nodding his approval of the food as Anya then told him not to choke, which made him smile. He glanced between Anya and Lexi who both smiled at each other and he couldn't help but think it almost looked like they were having some sort of silent conversation about his eating habits.

He glanced down at his plate and wondered if he was turning into Dean with the way he was eating but then decided that was a stupid thought and turned to Anya, "Don't worry, I won't choke- I'm not Dean" he smirked after he finished a mouthful of food and Anya asked about getting the difficult conversations out of the way whilst they were all together in one room. "Right...I guess you're right" he replied, looking up at the others, "So uhh- me and Anya were wondering what the next move is. Last night was a fail, but what can we do now?" he asked everyone.

"Talk about starting the heavy stuff early" Nat remarked back between mouthfuls.

Being back was so confusing to Mika. Yet she also found it difficult to remember much of what happened after she died in the warehouse. She was confused as to how she got back home and looking at her chosen family. She didn't understand anything whatsoever and now she was witnessing Dean looking almost scared of her whilst Duke just ran over to her and engulfed her in his arms, taking her off guard for a split second before she clung to him tightly back, bursting into tears at the same time like a child. “Duke…!” She sobbed, taking in his scent and touch before he pulled back just enough to get eye contact with her, which she obliged him with. Her dark eyes staring into his bright eyes gladly. ‘you came back to me’...words that made no sense to her because she didn't know HOW she came back to him. Her mind was foggy as she was trying to still compute she was even back and in one piece.

“I…I don't know how” she replied to him as Dean made his way over to her finally, dropping to his own knees and embracing her as Duke let go. Oh how she felt so relieved and lucky to be holding him again and getting a sense of how this must have been how Dean felt when he held her again after he came back from the dead. She listened to him struggle to find the words of how she got back and walk out of fire like it was simply rain or a waterfall. She wished she had answers to his question that Duke stopped Dean from asking, which gave Mika the sense that how she came back wasn't normal…even for a hunter. She had cheated death twice now…and it was making her feel unsettled. She felt Duke's flannel get wrapped around her, causing her to let go of Dean long enough to tightly hold the shirt around herself. It felt so warm and comforting, just like it did years ago when Duke would pull her back from the edge on cold winter nights. “Thank you Duke..” she said to him for the shirt, not wanting to leave either of her boys embrace but also not wanting to be on the gravel much longer. Yet looking at the state of both the men, some things that were serious went down whilst she was gone and something told her neither would be strong enough to carry her. Her legs still felt like jello and she had a feeling if she tried standing up right now, she'd simply fall straight back down again.

She let Dean keep her face in his hands, the very touch being more comforting than even Duke holding her, her head leaning into his hands slightly, not wanting to leave his side. Then came Cason and ordered both boys to let him carry her inside. She saw how Duke was beginning to shiver and part of her wanted to give him back his shirt but she was beginning to realise how little she had left on her clothing wise and how cold she was starting to become. “It's okay…you can just follow me inside” she reassured Dean, even now, when she was scared, confused and cold, she was still wanting to comfort her soul mate. After Dean agreed to let Cason help, she gripped onto him and let him carry her, her head naturally drooping to the crook of his neck. His words made her begin to smile weakly, but sincerely.

“It's good to be back, even if I'm confused as to how” she told Cason honestly.

[b][u]NATALIA[/b][/u]

Watching Mika just lift and walk out of the fire not looking like herself made her gasp and feel creeped out. Her first thought was a demon had found them and possessed her body, stopping her from being burned but then remembered, like the rest of them, Mika was warded against possession. At least, she hoped she was still was and the fire didn't burn her warding off of her skin. Then she watched Mika smile softly at Duke before heading to Dean and speak to him as a completely different being, yet this being knew who Dean was. Didn't see him as a threat like every monster they knew of did, she saw him as an ally, as someone they trusted to keep Mika safe. Just who was this being and why are they inside of Mika's body? She also was questioning what they meant by ‘had been keeping her safe for this moment’, it didn't make a heap of sense to her in the slightest, but she continued to watch everything unfold.

Tears flowed down her cheeks as Duke just ran and skidded to the floor over to Mika when it was very clearly her again. Her appearance and voice was most certainly her, albeit a very scared one. She cried watching Duke holding Mika, telling her he had her and it was okay, Nat’s hand covering her mouth and wiping the tears that refused to stop flowing. “I can't believe it…” she whispered, unable to bring her voice any louder due to the shock of what they just witnessed.

A large part of her wanted to rush over and hug Mika as well, but this was the boys moment and she didn't want to intrude on that. She would hopefully have plenty of time to cling onto Mika and tell her how thankful she was to have her back in her life. So instead she let Cason step up, telling Bobby to not attempt to pick up Mika due to how drunk he was. Nat stayed with Bobby, looping arms with him to give him comfort as she watched Cason walk over to the three on the ground and demand they let him carry her inside. “He'll be careful with her, I promise Bobby” she told him through the happy tears.

She then let go of him as she spoke again, “go follow them inside, she'll want her uncle too” she advised, then walked over to Dean and Duke, “come on..let's get you two inside too, we can find answers later. Right now your girl needs us all” she suggested and advised.

SAM

When Mika came out of the fire, he realised very quickly that the bird he could have sworn he saw within the fire wasn't a hallucination after all. It had to have been real, which meant everything he knew of the stories of phoenix’s weren't just stories. There was now a chance that they were indeed real and for some unknown reason to them all, one was attached to Mika. Or at least that was what his mind was trying to convince him of. Then there was another part of his brain that kept trying to discredit what they all just witnessed. He felt like he was dreaming and he was yet to wake up to find Mika still very much deceased but he wasn't asleep, and Mika was very much alive.

He watched on as Duke led the way to getting to Mika when she shakily called out their names, noticing how Dean was frozen in his spot, after stepping back a couple of steps away from her possessed body. He kept a close hold on Anna for support as he took everything in. He watched as eventually Dean made his way over to examine if it was truly Mika that was back and this wasn't some cruel game being played on them. Then Cason came in after telling Bobby to stay back, an order he could understand. Bobby was in no shape to be trying to carry his niece inside into the warm. He felt like he couldn't do anything but watch, seeing Cason forcing Dean to let him carry Mika for him, Duke needing to add to the convincing before Mika got swept up into Cason’s arms, where she naturally just leaned into him for support.

“I can't believe she's back” he told Anna as his eyes followed Cason and Mika toward the house, forcing his feet to follow suit whilst he noticed Natalia telling Bobby to also go inside before she went over to her Dean and Duke.
