NATALIA

Dean's feigning of innocence didn't wash over Natalia in the slightest. She just gave an unimpressed look to show him she didn't believe him at all that he 'didn't know what she was talking about'. She folded her arms across her chest to show him this was not going to be dropped and he may as well just come out with it before they butt heads all over again. It was quite the sight to see her almost mimic her brother's stance, showing there was no denying she was his sister, but unlike Dean, she didn't unfold her arms when he finally caved and began saying a load of questions at her.

The moment he sarcastically called Cason 'Saint Demon' she narrowed her eyes at him and it seemed to be enough as he seemed to back down on that remark and try and word his question better, but it didn't get any better. He essentially asked her if she was already sleeping with him, making her scoff in disbelief that he'd think that low of her. She started opening her mouth to speak but Cason suddenly appeared behind her, making Dean let her know this conversation was far from over.

Sighing, she finally unfolded her arms and gave Dean a nod. "Cason I'm alright, if you know where Anna is please tell Sam, I've got some more discussing to do with my brother" she told him, shooting him a quick glance but then looked straight back at Dean, her tone showing she was not happy with Dean still and she had some very strong words to say to him. She wasn't going to hold things back any more and instead of bottling everything up and keeping people out of her thoughts and opinions, she was going to start being open with them.

SAM AND MIKA

Mika and Sam were both ready to pounce between the two siblings the moment Dean started to ask his questions. Questions that Sam found valid and he himself was thinking even if he would have asked them in a slightly more tactful manner. He knew Nat was still in a very much delicate state and any wrongfully worded question to her could make her flip out on them all over again if they weren't careful. It seemed to him and to Mika, that Dean didn't share the same thought process.

Then came the very blunt question of 'are you shagging him?' even if Dean didn't outright ask it in that manner and Mika instantly started to walk toward the two of them when Cason's re-appearance made her pause her walking and see just how close Cason had put himself to Nat. She gently shook her head at Dean to silently say 'be careful Dean', especially as she didn't appreciate getting brought into the earlier questions, but could understand why he did.

To try and break up the silence, Sam cleared his throat and stepped forward to Cason, noticing the piece of paper in his hands. "Is that her location?" he asked him, gesturing to the paper in Cason's hand, wanting answers to Natalia's situation but also wanting Anna's location even more so.

Catching her breath from finally sending the ghosts back to wherever they were destined to be going made Harper feel glad that it was finally over. This was one of those cases that made her feel like it did not need to be this chaotic, but yet it became as such anyway. She didn't even realise that Arabella had made her way upstairs and was leaning in the doorway until her spoke broke the now silence that rang through the room. "Yeah, I'm fine. Worn out but alright" she replied, not even noticing at first the glass shard that was stuck in her right side just above her hip.

She was about to place her hands on her hips when the last ghost of the building decided to show up, putting Harper on edge, however it seemed this ghost didn't want to fight, instead wanted to be set free. She kept back as Arabella took over in doing the last one. The fact that this last girl was actually thankful and had done all she could to have helped them and even thanked them for freeing this establishment from the negative energies.

With the last spirit taken care of, she gave a nod to Arabella's words. "Likewise, I'm not exactly much of a team player in this business but I gotta say, this night proved it needed to be a two hunter job. It's certainly been one hell of a night that's for sure." she replied seeing the woman lean against the wall.
Harper leaned against one of the few glass cases that hadn't been smashed before whelping ever so slightly in a hiss making her look down at her sides. "well shit...." she complained in a huff. "Guess I'll be sorting that out back at the motel" she commented seeing the blood seep into her t-shirt a little and the shard of glass just poking out. Her reaction was one of more annoyance at the now ripped shirt than it was for having glass sticking out of her body. She was used to getting unnatural things lodged into her, but she hadn't long gotten this shirt and now it was already distressed.

"I'm staying at The Golding, where you staying at?" she asked her finally as she grabbed her lighter now that the flames had died off.

LEXI AND SAM

Lexi only knew of the colt, but she certainly never had come cross it herself. She remembered hearing the stories about it however from Sam and judging by Dean reacted to the news, it was still very much a big deal. As Dean spoke with Anya and Sam, she continued to keep quiet, just taking in the information being relayed to them all, observing the whole situation.

Sam didn't even know that Anya's father was killed because of the Colt, hearing that bit of information made him understand why Anya was earlier getting so defensive over his previous reluctance to train her as a hunter. Seeing his brother trying to understand Anya made Sam feel a little embarrassed by him, but he did his best to not show it outwardly on his face.

"It feels like it'd be the safest place to go for this." Lexi finally spoke up in agreement. A coffee shop was not the place for this kind of topic and although she was genuinely looking forward to a proper coffee, this was far more important.

Sam nodded in agreement to both Lexi and Anya, grabbing his bag from the IT store and standing up. "Better now than never" he replied.

NATALIA (AND PARTIAL CASON COLLAB)

When Nat just got silently enveloped in by Dean's arms, she went a little wide eyed before instantly squeezing her eyes shut to stop herself from crying. Sure, they had grown closer over time, but nowhere near the level of herself and Sam, so when Dean showed this level of comfort to her it always took her aback. She gripped the back of his shirt rightly in her fingers as she hugged him back, trying to hold it together. "Yeah....I do remember him being there...he's the only one who showed me kindness Dean.. he kept me watered and fed...even against the others wishes" she told him. Then as she was soaking in his hug, Cason came charging out of her room and ranting like a child having a tantrum.

She pulled her head out of the hug and looked at him, "Cason! Where you going?!" She called out, worried Esme had made him leave her.

Cason stopped for a moment and took a deep breath as Nat's eyes caught his, “I have been recruited.”

He said the words in a way that made Dean flinch. If Cason was this upset, he could only imagine what Esme said to him.

“Anna apparently ran away from your brother in the middle of the night. And I have been manipulated into finding her.”

She looked at Cason with surprise at what he just told her. As surprising as it was that Anna ran away....again, it wasn't nearly as surprising as hearing Esme manipulated him. She slowly let go of Dean, giving him a single hand wave and gesture to say 'be right right back' and then walked over to Cason. "You'll come back though...right?" She asked him.

Nat's words caused Dean to narrow his eyes, as she stepped away from him and over to Cason. Cason stared down at his feet for a moment before turning his eyes back up to her face with a smirk, “If I survive. Yes.”

Cason's words did not reduce her worries whatsoever, if anything they made them worse. She did not just unfog some of her memory and somewhat gain trust and security in Cason, just for him to leave her. "I'm serious Cason, come back to me, alive. I need you" she told him honestly.

Cason sighed, a small smirk creeping onto his lips as Dean groaned in the background, shaking his head and wiping a stressed hand down his face.

“I should be back tonight. If I’m right, maybe sooner.”, Cason confirmed, reaching a hand up to push a strand of hair behind Nat's ear, eliciting another miserable groan from Dean that made Cason chuckle, “I promise.”

Nat closed her eyes as he swept some hair behind her ear and nodded lightly. "Okay. I'm holding you to that" she replied reopening her eyes to look at him straight on, deciding to ignore Dean's groaning for now. No doubt he'd bombard her with questions the moment Cason disappeared.

Cason smiled, stepping back from Nat, “I fully expected you to.”

With a chuckle, he disappeared, leaving no more time for him to change his mind.

As Cason did his disappearing act, Natalia sighed heavily as she felt more than one set of eyes falling on her. Her guess was it wasn't just Dean staring at her, but it was also Mika and Sam. Cason smiled, stepping back from Nat, “I fully expected you to.”

With a chuckle, he disappeared, leaving no more time for him to change his mind.Ignoring the others, she turned to face Dean first, she still felt like she had a way to go to make it up to him. "Go on then....I know you got questions rattling round in that head of yours so may as well get it over with" she told him.

MIKA AND SAM

Mika felt glad that if her hunch was correct, Dean and Natalia could indeed patch things up. She knew deep down that Dean cared for the youngest Winchester more than he ever let on, she had heard plenty of ranting of worry from him about Nat before he got taken from them all for four months. So she had faith in them and their sibling connection. "Yeah, he cares about her more than he lets her realise. Hopefully this can be the start of letting her in on that." she replied.

Then came the door slamming and a very pissed off Cason exiting Nat's room, which made her also wince slightly. Things clearly did not go as well or calmly as they were hoping it to. Maybe sending Esme in wasn't the brightest idea they had after all she thought to herself.

She noticed Esme leaving the room shortly after and going to Sam first to give him the answer he and they all were waiting for. Cason's temper tantrum and yell told her that he had agreed but it wasn't under any polite circumstances, and then came the movement that surprised her and made her cock an eyebrow in curiosity. Natalia actually let go of Dean and went over to Cason. Not only that she was witnessing Nat begging him to come back to her. "well well..." she muttered under her breath, but still heard what Duke said to her.

"Good luck Duke" she said to him as he walked off to follow Esme and try and patch things up. It honestly felt like everyone was needing to patch things...everyone except for her and Dean that is.

Sam gave Esme a simple nod at what she said to him, appreciating what she had done for him. He didn't even care that Cason was having a temper tantrum like a child because of it. All he cared about was having Anna back and him having a moment to prove to her he did love her and he didn't want her leaving when things got confusing to her or tough.

He let Esme and Duke leave, which made his attention turn to his sister talking with Cason and somewhat managing to calm him down, even make him smirk again. He glanced toward Mika then Dean as if to say 'we are seeing this right?', not sure what he was witnessing was even real. He couldn't tear his eyes away, unable to think of anything other than 'if he so much as does anything to her I'm having him'. He wasn't in the mood for Cason's antics and like Dean, he was still convinced Cason was manipulating her because she was the youngest in their group.

He only let out the breath he was unaware of holding when Cason left and Nat turned to Dean first. "He isn't the only one who has questions" he said loud enough for everyone left outside to hear.

LEXI AND SAM

Lexi found herself rolling her eyes at Dean calling Anya a small angry woman. She was thankful for not smirking as Sam explained that this woman could hear everything and was just simply mute and why she was conversing with Sam in whatever way she was able to. Seeing her cross her arms, Lexi knew Dean hadn't helped matters when it came to calming her down.

She also decided this was something she was mostly going to try and stay out of it and let Dean and Sam figure this one out. Even if the idea of demons coming after a mute girl didn't sit well with her in the slightest. She let the brothers discuss the situation between them, when Dean surprised both Sam and Lexi in agreeing to help Anya, albeit not via training her to become a hunter.

"Then I guess we're helping her out. What do the "aquaintances" want anyway in this deal?" she asked, making air quotes with her hands.

"......the Colt" Sam hesitated in replying for a moment before he dropped the verbal bomb, imagining how Dean was going to take that news. "And before you say anything, I've already told her its not retrievable anymore" he added, looking his brother in his eyes. He was dreading telling Dean, but when Lexi asked the question, he couldn't exactly not say anything.

"Even if it was, that's a big ask that would never happen" Lexi remarked after widening her eyes for a split moment hearing the legendary gun be mentioned. Of all the things to be said, she was not expecting that to be one.

"From out of Nowhere" - SPN

LEXI AND SAM

Lexi found herself watching on as it seemed whatever this girl had been communicating with Sam over, it clearly was weighing heavy on him. She clearly seemed rather angry at him and wondered how on earth Sam could make any pissed off, he was such a sweet giant of a man who couldn't intentionally hurt anyone who didn't deserve it.

She let Dean take the lead and when Anya signed her name, Lexi tried to catch on, which luckily she did. She didn't know much sign but she somehow remembered the basic alphabet in ASL, something she didn't think would ever come in handy until now. Sam was about to confirm what her name was, when Dean turned to face Lexi with such a look that got him a slap on the arm.

"Dean that's rude! Don't be a dick or albelist." she told him before looking back at Anya with an apologetic look on her face. She then turned back to Dean, "if my very vague memory of ASL is correct, she said her name is Anya" she explained, looking toward both Anya and Sam for confirmation on if she was right or not.

"You're right. This is Anya, she's mute, not deaf so watch what you say Dean and she needs our help" Sam explained, looking them both in the eyes. He also wanted to quickly make it clear that Anya wasn't deaf and if Dean opened his mouth without thinking again, she would hear everything he says and would no doubt get on the wrong side of her personality, like he sort of has already.

"Help with what?" Lexi asked.

"Getting into the business and breaking a certain deal with her old....aquaintances" Sam said, using the old code for hunting and demon deals whilst they were in public.

NATALIA

Part of her wanted to stay around and hear what Esme had to say, but the fact that Cason also came to the door and asked her what she wanted, she wasn't sure she wanted to know. For all she knew it was to do with something from the kidnapping incident and getting her car back, especially as Nat noticed she was wearing some of Mika's old clothing.

Giving Esme a chance to say something first, she then decided to just hold her hands up and go and apologise to Dean as she could see him watching the door like a hawk with the others. "I'm gonna go talk to Dean...if you need me holla okay?" she told Cason for two reasons, 1) to let him know where she was and 2) to tell him she was there for defend him if it was required. She may not owe him anything, but she still felt like she could lend her skills to something to help him out every now and then. Group member or not.

Leaving the room, she awkwardly wandered over to Duke, Dean and Mika, seeing Sam in his own little world opposite them. "Uh...Dean, can we....can we talk?" she asked, running a hand through her hair, feeling the most nervous to talk to him since the day Sam tried to convince him to let her stay with them. She rocked back and forth on her feet for those few moments waiting for Dean to agree, then walked slightly off away from the others, unable to even look anyone else in the eye. Even Duke and she didn't even yell at him.

"Dean I'm sorry for how I spoke to you last night. I wish I could excuse it but what I said about you and Hell was well below the belt...." she verbally vomited out at him. "I was drunk and hurting....it's not an excuse but an explanation. But...there's more....Cason is the one who got you to me...dropped the clues and hints for Sam to find me. That's why I feel comfort from him, despite everything...." she sighed, swallowing deeply to stop herself from crying all over again.

"I hate that this is a reality, but I need him as much as I need you and Sam... Dean I've been vile to you because I can't get my shit together, I'm so sorry" she continued before she couldn't talk anymore.

SAM AND MIKA

When Natalia exited the room and headed straight for Dean, Mika perked up and stood upright, wondering what was going to happen and mentally preparing for another sibling argument, but instead she witnessed Nat just not look at any of them except for Dean and ask quietly for a private word. The clue that an apology was coming or something along similar lines.

"I think what she said to him is weighing heavily on her" she commented to Duke. "They had quite the argument last night" she clarified.

Sam still couldn't look anywhere but the door where Cason stood with Esme, though he did still unknowingly glance every now and then at Natalia and Dean in case he had to stop anything between them. He was a mess right now, his sister was hurting and he wasn't wanted by her and now the love of his life was also missing and left him as well. It just too much right now.

LEXI

Seeing Dean's bright and wide grin at her agreement to coffee made Lexi smile just as widely back. His smile just feeling incredibly contagious and considering how he was when she first showed up at the bunker, it was so refreshing that he looked brighter. She let him drive to the coffee shop he had in mind and glanced at him as he spoke about the home comforts that they got for the bunker.

Something told her not to believe him when he said he was mostly fine being alone in the bunker and that it was Sam who got lonely, but she wasn't going to call him out on it...yet. As he finished parallel parking, then continued rambling. The next thing he said made her chuckle back, as it did amuse him but she also wasn't surprised that that's how Sam had been the last few months. She knew how worried he had been about Dean over these last few months and she was still slightly convinced that Sam had wanted to bring her to the bunker for a while to meet Dean, but she would never say that out loud.

"He's just been worried about you, that's all" she countered, trying to give Sam the benefit of the doubt to a certain degree, just as he got out the car and looked over the roof and into the coffee shop window. She opened the door, but didn't fully exit the car as she was curious what Dean meant by Sam was with a girl. He certainly hadn't mentioned to her about anyone being on the scene for him, so she was confused about who this girl would even be.

Stepping out of the car and closing the door, she looked in and smiled, "well well, that's a surprising turn of events" she replied before walking into the coffee shop with Dean and when they were close enough, she couldn't help but try and eavesdrop on the conversation but noticed she could only hear Sam talking.

Intrigued, she watched more then saw the signing and it clicked into place.

SAM

Sam hated that Anya was telling him she was going to learn no matter what and that worried him greatly. He didn't trust many hunters and he certainly didn't like the idea of someone like Anya learning all on her own about the ways of being a hunter. His eyes flicked toward the door when it opened, and noticed Dean and Lexi walk in and he wondered if this moment could get any more complicated.

"Anya wait" he requested of her as she signed her farewell, standing up to try and stop her from leaving so soon. "If I agree to try and help you in some areas, will you stay?" he asked of her, his eyes pleading almost as he really didn't want her to get into serious trouble with anyone, especially demons. "Look...my brother and friend have just walked in, maybe we can discuss this all together or something? I can't guarantee you much but I can at least try and help you stay safe" he reasoned with her, hoping it would be enough to begin with.

Supernatural - Hell On The Horizon

NATALIA

Engulfing Cason into a hug wasn't something Nat would ever have thought she'd do but right now, in her eyes and in mind, he was the ONLY one who knew what she went through in that asylum. As far as she knew, no one else in the group went through what she did or even saw the true horrors of that place. No one except for Cason. She was aware of his hesitancy at first but the moment he held her back and weaved his fingers into the back of her hair, she just wanted to remain clinging to him.

She listened to him speak, understanding his reasoning for it but she was glad he had finally told her he was the person she could sort of remember but was a blur up until now. It gave her a little bit of peace to start trying to move forward from her past. He even made her break the tiniest of smiles for the briefest of moments when he told her she didn't owe him anything. Every part of her wanted to insist she owed him her life, her freedom but those words alone made her know it would be pointless in doing.

She frowned ever so slightly when he pulled her back to make her look at him, raising her hands to place them over his on the sides of her face. She gently shook her head when he offered to leave her for a while. That was the very last thing she wanted from him right now. "No... I don't care if they wont listen to your side of the facts, or even accept them. I need you here. You're something solid and affirming for me right now. You were a comfort to me then, and you're that to me now. If my brothers can't accept that then that's a them problem, not mine or yours." she replied to him.

Then came a knock on the door which made her jump as she wasn't expecting one so soon, not only that she was focused so much on Cason and their conversation she had completely forgotten that someone would come knocking for her. Esme's voice coming through the door made her sigh with relief and relax again beside Cason, "bloody hell" she sighed slightly annoyed. "Guess this...moment of calm is over" she told him, lifting his hands off of her face and crawling out of the bed to open the door.

"What is it? Tell my dumb headed brother I'll be out soon" she complained, leaning on the door as she held it open.

SAM AND MIKA

Sam sighed and nodded when Dean told him not to blame himself. He listened to both him and Mika telling him that wasn't normal for Anna to do, but all he kept thinking was that this wasn't the first time she just upped and left him. It gave him bad memories of when Mika would up and leave Dean all those many years ago, then just pop back into his life again. He didn't want to go through that emotional turmoil that Dean did, he knew he wouldn't be able to handle it when there was so much already on all their plates.

With Esme and Duke still beside them in very questionable clothing choices this morning, he decided he would listen to them and like the others he did not approve of the bounty hunter option, no matter how much Duke tried to convince them of otherwise. He even did a little wince when Duke suggested just killing Cason. That would NOT go down well with Natalia in the slightest, even if he wouldn't complain about seeing Cason no more but Dean was right when he said Natalia would cut Duke's head off or similar if she heard what was just suggested.

"Dean's right, as much as I don't like him being near Nat, she's somehow finding comfort it seems in him. Cason is off limits" he agreed, just before the others continued all their conversations and coming to the conclusion that it was Esme who would have to go as no one would be suitable for the task. What did surprise him however was Dean barking the order of loaning clothing to Esme at Mika. He gave her a look of 'just don't argue...please?' which Mika knew all too well.

Mika then sighed and huffed in annoyance, but nodded when Dean said 'please' slightly nicer but still with a hint of sarcasm in his tone. "Fine, I'll be right back" she said flatly, trying to play nice as she was aware Duke didn't know about all the tension between her and Esme. As she turned on her heels to head to the room, she leaned into Dean's ear and whispered "you're lucky you're hot when youre bossy" then walked back to the room, where she shuffled through her clothes, purposely grabbing her oldest pair of jeans that she barely wore now and a t-shirt, then headed back where she shoved the clothes into Esme's hands. "best I could find that would fit you" she told the woman, trying her hardest to play civil.

---

As Esme went to Nat's room, she stood with the boys waiting to see what would come of this moment. "We'll find her Sammy, if it's the last thing I do, I will find her" she told him, to which Sam gave a small nod and hugged her briefly from the side before letting go and looking toward the door that was now open and he just about saw a tiny glimpse of Natalia from his angle, still in last night's clothes.

"Cason better help, if he still cares for Anna" he commented.

"From out of Nowhere" - SPN

LEXI

She had to agree that not hearing from Sam was equal amounts of weird and not weird. Dean continuing on from her little wifi quip made her glad that she wasn't the only one who noticed that about Sam. Him calling it 'nerd power' just made her chuckle all the more. "Oh my god right?! I've only witnessed the connection to wifi in the middle of nowhere once with him but it was so freaky. Whereas I could only get connection on my phone if I need emergency services." she told him whilst showing that she was jealous of his brother in that occasion.

With the car unlocked and Dean opening the passenger door for her once again, she smiled and got into the car, sitting back and being comfortable once again. In her mind, a car this old shouldn't be this comfortable but it was. With Dean now in the driver's side, she found herself smirking and sniggering at the gardening comment as she couldn't even picture Sam doing such an activity.

At his suggestion of grabbing a coffee before heading back to the bunker, she was about to reply to him when he planted a strong kiss on her lips. A kiss that she gladly returned just as tightly before reopening her eyes and smiling at him, "coffee sounds good" she replied finally.

SAM

Anya rolling her eyes at him made Sam see that she clearly had been told this sort of spiel a few times before and she took great offence to his words. 'good going Sam, offend a pretty woman in less two hours of meeting her' he thought to himself, rubbing his hands nervously on his thighs, wondering how he can dig himself out of this situation as she angrily wrote on the notepad and made it very clear, she was not taking his current advice for an answer.

When she was done writing and showed him what she put, he read it and visibly flinched at her words. He didn't need to hear her voice to tell that she was practically yelling these words at him to make a point. "I'm sorry I offended you, that wasn't my intention" he began to explain, holding up a hand to show her he wasn't done talking just yet.

"I'm sorry for everything that's happened to you- whatever that may be. I recognise that those moments in your life have brought you into this world to a certain extent. It's just..." he sighed, "I guess I'm just concerned for bringing someone else into this life after I've not long lost my sister in law..for good this time by her being a hunter. Which is a crazy ass long story I won't get into. What I'm trying to get at is that....I guess I wanna know just how much you've thought this through" he explained to the best of his ability.

He also knew if he just brought this girl back to the bunker and declared she's a hunter in training, Dean would absolutely have his head on a pike. So he had to play it safe...for now.
