JOHN'S PLACE

Kay was terrified as she tried to regain her breathing pace to a normal slow pace. Looking up at John, she could finally see she was back, in John's home and the mysterious Fae was nowhere to be found. She found herself, clinging onto John as she tried to not burst into tears over what she just saw. She still didn't know what was going on, what happened or really where she had gone. She didn't understand any of it, but she had a feeling if this kind of situation was happening, then they must all be getting close to a few answers.

Then she heard Chas' voice come through the phone, with heating Drake's in the background panicking. Whatever happened to her, Serena was now feeling it from the link they shared. "I...I think you both..are feeling what happened to me..." Kay said to Bane trying to make sense of everything, and hoped that now she was awake, Serena and Bane would be able to come round shortly too.

LUX BAR

Fia went over to Drake's side to comfort him, wrapping an arm round him and onto his back. She wished she could say everything would be alright but she didn't know that for certain. She just had to be there for Drake in the here and now and hope that she was being of some kind comfort.

"John mate, I was about to ask you the same thing for there! Serena just collapsed, eyes clouded over. Said something about Kay before she passed out..or at least, what I think is passing out. What's happening?" Chas replied on the phone when John finally picked up. he glanced around DT everyone but for the most part kept his eyes on Serena. He watched as Josh ran over now that he had shaken himself out of a shook induced frozen state.

LUX BAR

Chas didn't doubt Lucifer's words, as he never knew of the man to lie. If he says he owes John a favour then it's most certainly true. John didn't do anything without making sure he was owed something in return, it's just how his friend was. He took a file after Lucifer and Serena did and began to look through it, making sure not to miss a single detail.

His attention got interrupted however when Serena suddenly gasped and held her head. Instantly putting the file down, he went to get up but Lucifer best him to it, as well as Josh. When she said Kay's name before her eyes clouded over, he instantly got concerned. He didn't waste any time getting his phone out and began to dial John's number. He had to know what was happening back at The House.

JOHNS PLACE

Kay didn't come round, she remained under whatever was having a hold on her. Her eyes remained locked in the golden state as she was limp in John's arms.

"no!" Kay screamed at the male in this void, vision? She couldn't even say what it was. But she could say it felt so real to her. "It's going to happen one way or another. You can't run away and hide from this place ..from us. You ARE one of us" he told her sternly, closing the gap between them in a blink of an eye, scaring Kay to her core. "let me go..from whatever this!" She practically begged, but he just grabbed her arm and dragged her to the wall. "Look at this!! Look!! This is YOUR fate!!" He screamed in her face, making her look at the wall where it depicted her causing destruction on Earth, turning it all to rubble.

"BUT you can change it if you just come home to us!" He warned her, letting go roughly. Kay shook at what he was telling her, not wanting to believe his words but what was happening in Fia's time, it was true. He then grabbed her arm and pulled her to look at another wall, brushing vines out of the way to reveal a future where she killed Fia, Serena and other loved ones. The shock made her gasp and run away, not seeing where she was going and she fell off a cliff. Making her wake up

In her unconscious state, when the mysterious Fae male grabbed her, a red hand mark appeared on her body in front of John, a tear fell from her eye. Then she woke up with a start and a gasp.

MIKA

Mika wasn't surprised at the comment about Duke having always loved Esme. She still remembers the phone calls of Duke calling her for advice or to just outright get stuff off his chest. She didn't know at the time it was particularly Esme he was talking about, but remembering the conversations, what's since transpired and with what Dean just told her, it didn't take much to figure out Duke always was talking about Esme. She remembers having to tell Duke to play it safe, no matter how much it hurt to try and hang back or how difficult it was to do, or whatever the complication was, if he was meant to be with the girl, it would happen when it's destined to. Seems she was right after all, even if she never realized at the time her words fitted for her own situation with Dean as well.

She never expected Dean to get down onto his knees in front of her however. He never did that for any reason. Yes, he may squat down in front to check on her if she was a little scratched up or something, but he never went down onto his knees in front of her, or anyone for that matter. This very action showed her he meant everything he had been telling her, that he really did want to move on and she was the one he wanted. The moment he leaned forward and wrapped his arms around her, his head on her chest, she went slightly wide eyed from the surprise action. She moved her arms to wrap around him, one hand on the back of his head as she just about heard him whisper to her. It was so much to withstand and take in, but she didn't dislike the raw emotional truthful moment they were having with each other. It was needed for a long time and now words were coming out, it felt like a huge weight was being lifted off of their shoulders.

She looked down at him as she felt him move his head to look up at her, finding it difficult to not to just cup his head in her hands, instead moving the hand that was on the back of his head to the back of his neck. His next words caused more tears to fall down her cheeks as she nodded. “I want to move forward too Dean, more than I've probably let on in the past. You know I love you, I always have. Even as kids, I've loved you. As I’ve said, it's always been you. I never want to be with anyone else, I was given a second chance at life for some unknown reason way back when and I don't want to waste it anymore holding onto bad vibes and grudges. All I want is to kick ass, fight what's coming by your side and if we're really lucky? Grow old with you” she told him honestly. It was true, she never used to believe in marriage or anything like that, despite being a completely hopeless romantic deep down, but with Dean it was so different.

She leaned down to meet his face, touching his nose with hers, closing her eyes for a moment to just take in and savor the moment so it was always firmly in her mind. Seconds later, Mika kissed him, firmly but lovingly to seal her promise that she will continue to be a better person for him. She let her lips linger on his forehead as long as she could before needing to break for breath. Looking into his eyes, she gave a small but genuine smile. “We've got through some pretty tough times, we can get through this. I'm willing to fight for us” she told him. She meant every word, she wasn't going to run anymore, or lie or close herself off. It was time to show Dean she had changed and was still changing, and most importantly, she wasn't going to waste being alive and having him in her life.

NATALIA

Nat never intended to baby Cason, she had just wanted to tease him a little from his mini tantrum about iron. Even though it was a very valid thing to have a tantrum about. She also felt the need to check his hand after the previous injuries he had sustained in the barn. She was paranoid about any pain he got and felt if she didn't check, she would just worry constantly. She still wanted Cason to be well…Cason.

When Cason said he don't eat, only for Anna to call him an idiot for pointing out the obvious, she couldn't help but chuckle, trying to stifle it as best she could. She knew her and Anna would get along once Anna felt she could be more herself again. She liked Anna's little playful snarky moments, it felt like if she was left alone with Anna, the boys would get worried about what they could concoct up as it would be trouble doubled.

With it decided what she wanted and Cason yet again complaining about her food choices, she rolled her eyes with a smirk on her face. Pointing at the description under the cheeseburger, she leaned into his side. “it states it has lettuce and tomato in it…therefore it has salad and a healthy aspect.” She smirked cheekily up at him. She knew it was complete crap she was spouting, but she couldn't resist just making the remark. “Okay how about this, you don't moan about me craving a cheeseburger tonight. Let me have this bit of junk food after almost dying yesterday and the next time we eat out, I will pick a healthy salad or something” she negotiated to him, whilst almost playing the ‘but I almost died and therefore I deserve comfort food to get over the trauma of it's emotional blackmail card.

As Anna spoke up saying she would just get the chicken salad out of worry of eating, her heart sank for the woman a little. She couldn't imagine having to be scared of what someone could or couldn't eat. She put it down to her relationship with food and how she always saw every meal as a gift and possibly her last. So when Cason managed to convince her that she could eat what she actually wanted and would be fine, she smiled at Anna picking the same as her. “Best choice” she commented before Anna grabbed her whole attention about walking with her to the restroom. “Sure!” she replied, putting the menu down and stretching her arm out to link arms with Anna before walking to the restroom with her, leaving the men alone.

SAM

Yet again, Sam found himself agreeing with Cason and he really was wondering what was happening in the universe to make him agree with the man so much. It felt like he had fallen into an alternate universe or something. “he's right ya know.” He added as she decided to change her choice of food and get the same as Natalia. He then kept his own menu on him, so he could refer to it to make the take our order for them all when Anna asked Nat if she would walk to the restroom with her. A simple request, and not exactly shocking for women but he still felt glad that Anna felt comfortable with Nat, wanting to leave his side. He knew she would be safe with his sister, and let go of her as she let go of him. He watched as Anna and Natalia went off round the corner to the women's restrooms and then stepped up to the counter to wait for a waitress or waiter to approach him.

He leaned against the counter top on his elbows, and started thinking about how much he could drill Cason about looking after Nat. The whole premise of it amused him yet again as he couldn't believe he was about to do the dad thing of sussing out boyfriends as if Nat was a teenager. “hey Sam! Long time no see!” A waitress came over with a smile, recognising him instantly. “No lingering brother this time” she chuckled, grabbing her little notepad and pen in preparation to take his order. “hey Maddie, yeah it's been a while and he's back at the house with Mika. Been a long drive back and so I'm out doing the food run this time” he smiled. “So what can I get ya?” She asked, clicking the top of her pen. “2 cheeseburgers with fries, one burger with added hot sauce..” he began saying, “lemme guess, Natalia's?” She smirked, “bingo. Uhh.. 2 chicken burgers and fries and for Dean his usual- quarter pounder burger and fries, as well a slice of the apple pie” he finished ordering, putting the menu down. Maddie nodded as she laughed, the order sounding all so familiar. “alright, got it. It'll be about 15 minutes tonight.” She explained.

“That's fine, we can wait in the free booth over there” he replied, pointing to the single free booth to his right. The waitress then smiled and walked off to the kitchen window to hand in the order slip, whilst Sam gave the gesture to Cason to walk to the booth as he led the way and sat down. He remained silent for a little while then decided to just come out with what he was thinking, “so I uhh, never thanked you for getting Nat out of that place last night. You've probably been thanked enough by her but I have to say it myself. I hate that I couldn't get her myself like last time.” he remarked, deciding to start with a thanks rather than straight in with the drilling. “Seems like she's really taken with you and happy” he added, not knowing just by how much and he certainly wouldn't ever guess the emotion of love was between the two of them.

MIKA

Mika saw him begin to let himself cry, seeing just how awful he did truly feel about everything but determined to try and make amends by being truthful and hopefully still be good with her. She didn't want to lose Dean just as much as he didn't want to lose her. But everything he explained hurt so much, and she knew what she said to him would have hurt him also but she couldn't hide how she was feeling anymore. She spent too many of their young lives lying to him and there wasn't a day that went by where she didn't regret those lies. She wouldn't forgive herself for letting her fear of him rejecting her by the way she looked back then win over everything else. Her fear was what made her lie for all that time, but she hoped she had proved to him she was doing all she could to be better and more honest with him.

She felt like she hadn't lied to him for 3 years, but she was finding out these last few weeks especially, that all he had done was lie to her. Mika understood it was a messy and complicated situation, she put him in a difficult position by pushing him away out of her own selfishness and fear. But what was his excuse? Was it the same as hers or was it solely he simply couldn't bare being on his own and would do anything to have someone replace her? The thoughts of him ever trying to replace her hurt so much. Even though she spent some time with Ethan, he never replaced Dean. Every second she was with Ethan, she just wished he was Dean, but that time she saw Dean with Esme? She had assumed he really wanted nothing to do with her....until those phone calls started.

Mika continued to let him speak, flinching ever so slightly when he carefully placed his hand on her knee once more. Her hands shaking as she toyed with the decision to place her hand on top of his. She really couldn't decide if it was something she wanted to do right now. Her happy wake up felt so shaken and ruined in this moment. "Yeah...you do owe him a lot" she replied to him about Duke being there for her. "He stopped me from just ending it all together Dean, he saved me, literally at one point when he had run off away from you and found me on a hunt, ready to just die and set things back to how they probably should be, saved my life, brought me back from the brink... he knew how my heart wasn't really with Ethan when push came to shove. I tried SO hard to be happy and move on but he wasn't you....he would never be you." she cried.

Then the real pain came crashing down on her. Dean admitting he was still jealous of Duke for being with Esme and having her heart. Part of her wanted to be really callous, just straight up cold, but deep down she knew it would do nothing but just rip them a part all over again. She tried to find words that weren't 'yeah well... welcome to my world when me and Duke see you being all close with Esme, now you know how it feels'. She kept coming up blank on what to say, all she could do was wipe away at the endless stream of tears down her face. "I can't lose you Dean, I can't...I want us to work passed this but I can't ignore how much this hurts to hear." she eventually found the words to tell him.

Slowly, she found the courage to place her hand ontop of his, not quite holding it yet, but it was a start. "I love you with all my heart, and I will fight tooth and nail to keep you by my side. I'm done running away..." she sighed. "All those late night calls that time ago broke me. I would find a hunt anywhere close by just to not feel that pain from hearing your voice on the end of the line. I'd come back so battered every night and Ethan couldn't take it anymore. He could only patch me up so many times before he was done with me and my secrets. I still remember when he hit his limit... I came home and found out you had been calling late at night. Demanded to know who you was, even asked if you were the cause of my back scars..." she began to explain, a sad smirk appearing on her lips briefly. "Of course, that was a stupid assumption and had to tell him of how they really came to be....well, minus the whole Wendigo part. Told him the old family home got broken into and some crazed druggie went on a killing spree with a machete and that's how the scars happened." she sighed.

"it eventually came out in a huge fight. Gave me the famous ultimatum you or him after vases and folders were thrown across the room and that was the night I grabbed my stuff and just left- texting Duke and Bobby demanding one of them tell me where you were" she told him, "and you know the rest" she finished, forcing the memories to stop playing in her mind as she described them briefly. It felt so cathartic to finally tell him the truth of how her and Ethan came to end. That she was never truly fully happy with him, despite what Dean may have told himself all that time ago, before she finally looked up at him, lifting a free hand up to his face to make him look at her back. "I will do my hardest to not be so hard on Esme, she doesn't deserve my wrath or pain. I get that, I really do. It'll just take me time to get the image of you and her together out of my head whenever I look at her, but I know this will hurt...but honestly? Seeing her with Duke will help me move on from that mental image. Even if it slightly hurts you" she told him softly.

"I need you Dean...I love you so much, I can't live or breathe without you" she told him.

NATALIA AND SAM

Nat smiled when Cason couldn't wait to jump out of the car the moment Sam parked up. She thought about how she would have to help Cason get over his discomfort of cars and his negative thoughts about how they were death traps. She understood why he would think like that, but she still thought he had to try and get a better relationship with cars, especially after he admitted to her that he had grown fond of hers. She watched as he walked up to the passenger front door and opened it for Anna, letting her out whilst Sam got out of the driver's side. It always sent her a heart a flutter when she saw how old school Cason was and gentlemanly he was for a demon.

As he walked round to her side, opened the door and held his hand out to her, she smiled and took it, stepping out of the car and closing the door behind her. "Thank you" she said, taking his hand and walking up to the front door of the diner. She didn't even know that the diner's handle was iron. It had been a while since she was here and honestly forgot. So when he pulled his hand away quickly as it burned his skin, she instantly checked his hand over before nodding and opening the door on his behalf. Though his little mini tantrum about all the iron everywhere was kind of amusing to her as well as endearing.

"You'll be alright babe" she replied, taking his hand and gently pulling him inside, noticing how Sam went to Anna and walked up and in behind them both. Sam couldn't help but smile at how Nat and Cason was and he began to wonder what the hell was wrong with his mind if he was smiling at the sight of his sister being in love with a demon. "I must be losing my mind" he sniggered to himself, walking over to Anna and taking her hand as she giggled at Cason complaining about the iron handle. The covering of her mouth to hide the giggle made Sam look down at her and smile more broadly as it seemed to him that taking her away from the house was proving to be the right course of action. With her hand in his, and close to him he walked with her to the door of the diner and stepped inside, opening the door for her in the process. If Cason was going to be a gentleman to Natalia, then he felt the need to show he could be too toward Anna. He didn't intend to make it a competition but it was subconscious take his mind ended up choosing.

Inside the diner, he stood by the other two, grabbing some menus and handing one to Anna, then to Nat and finally Cason before keeping one for himself. He glanced over what was in store, realising it had been a while since he was in here and noticed how the menu had changed since he was last here with Dean and Mika. "well this is a new menu compared to last time..." he thought out loud to him, his eyes scanning everything on it and what each meal encompassed. Nat overheard him and smirked, "well it's not changed so much that it's hard to pick what Dean and Meeko would want" she pointed out, tapping her menu at the burgers. She saw Dean's favourite was still very much on there, but then, he was a simple man when it came to food. It wasn't difficult to pick him up something he'd like. She then saw a simple cheeseburger and fries meal that made her stomach growl at the thought of eating it, a flush of pink spreading across her cheeks. "Cheeseburger and fries for me" she declared, trying to hide the fact she was blushing over her stomach calling out for sustenance.

Sam smirked, hearing her stomach grumble. "You always go for the cheeseburger if it's on the menu" he teased, "hey, it's a classic okay? You don't mess with classics...unless it's putting hot sauce in it, then and only then you can mess with it" Natalia said back with conviction, pointing her finger at Sam, then at the menu. That was where she was different from Dean, she loved hot sauce in burgers when Dean couldn't take the heat 99% of the time. Sam then looked over at Anna, "seen anything you want?" he asked her, having already decided on a chicken burger and fries, the same as what Mika would want.

LEXI

Feeling him tighten his arm around her when she laid back down made her feel so secure. Lexi suddenly got reminded just how much she had missed this kind of affection and intimate moment with someone. She didn't want to mess anything up that would take this moment away from her. She had to keep a hold of it with both hands, no matter what.

Hearing him chuckle at her remark about Sam doing good bringing her back here, she was glad that he agreed with her. Life felt pretty good right now, better than it had been for a while if she ever let herself think about it. She knew it wasn't love at this moment, but it was a strong enough feeling that she was content in feeling for a long time to come. Lexi didn't want to move from her spot as she stared off to nothing in particular, just letting the moment completely swallow her whole and keep her happy. "It's been a long time since I've felt so at home somewhere." she admitted openly to him, wanting to admit it to him, to show him how happy he made her. She just hoped she made him equally happy.

---

After a while she soon fell asleep beside him on the bed late into the night and slept peacefully. Life was good, she ached and felt safe in the arms of Dean. This truly felt like a new chapter in her life that she couldn't wait to experience.

SAM

A while later as they laid down on his bed, Sam stared up at the ceiling, a firm smile on his face as he caught his breath finally, one hand on his chest, another by his side. It had felt like eternity since he last gelled and connected with. He could feel his whole body aching and knew for sure that he had bruises down his back if the feeling was anything to go by as he laid on it. He lifted the hand that was by his side up and ran it through his hair, brushing it back and away from his face beyond content with his current situation and didn't even care if they were caught or not. It had to be late and thinking back to how Dean and Lexi were, chances were they either were in the same position as himself and Anya, or asleep.

As Anya's hands came up and lazily signed the word fire, he couldn't help but chuckle understanding that word. "One word for it" he replied to her, raising his other arm and wrapping it round her, pulling her into his side, kissing the top of her head sweetly. Never in his wildest ideas did he think that the girl he just tried to help and calm down in the tech shop would end up being laid out on his bed naked beside him after having absolutely rocked his world. She was like this piece of dynamite that came into his life and nothing he could have done would have got him far enough away from him, but he wasn't complaining.

He willingly jumped over and took the explosion, glad that for once, he let go of his inhibitions and just let himself be happy and let off steam. "Best trip to the tech shop I ever did." he chuckled, nuzzling into her hair and stroking her arm. Tomorrow morning would be quite the scene he came to assume, knowing that both he and Dean had done the exact same thing tonight with two absolutely incredible women.

THE LUX BAR

Fia felt a little pang of jealousy when Drake said her dad was a bit more open about the book than he was with her, but she swallowed that feeling down, keeping it off her face and glanced across at Serena when she asked about the age of the book. "does it? In person it looked pretty damn old, but then, I'm also used to it looking even older in mine and Drake's time." She shrugged, not having out much thought into it's appearance before now.

Chas looked up when Maze walked back with the files, seeing her hand them over to Lucifer. "I'm not sure fun is the word I would use" he pointed out. He thought it was highly worrying actually, that whatever was coming was incredibly serious and he didn't want the kids to lose their parents.

JOHN'S PLACE

Kay couldn't understand why she thought Bane was in the room or interrupted them. She could have SWORN she heard and saw him come into the room. It didn't make a heap of sense and then the pain in her head came out of nowhere, making her grip onto John's arm back, as well as her head with her free hand. "I-I'm ok--argh!" She tried to play it off but she could yet another surge of pain in her head, like nothing she had felt before.

The pain was excruciating, all she could do was scream through the pain as it filled her whole head and made her feel sick. She could focus on anything as she had no choice but to close her eyes. "it won't stop!" She cried out, terrified about what was happening to her. It then got so bad that she just fainted into John, her eyes opening and just a pure golden glow. No iris or pupil...just pure golden light.

in Kay's subconscious

"what's going on? Where am I?" She asked as she gla ced all around herself, finding she was staring at the stone walls of a cave. Engravings and coal drawings adorned most of them, some of depictions of beautiful mythical creatures, some of sigils. She felt scared and alone. John and Bane were nowhere to be seen. Even her own voice sounded almost like an echo. "you're home" a mysterious voice replied from seemingly nowhere before a tall winged male character stepped out into the light. "what do you mean home?" She asked, the male character just smiling as he glanced down at the floor before looking back at her. His eyes as bright as topaz stones, burgundy wings flowing behind him, tips of feathers practically touching the ground. Hair as dark as ebony.

"Though I must say, we was not expecting you so soon. So if you're here then it must mean only one thing, your mother is close to being completely lost to us. It's becoming your time to lead us" he explained. "no, no! I barely know what it means to be what I am! I'm not a leader!" She protested, making a step back as he stepped forward. He held a hand out towards a wall to her right, "look at that. It is the prophecy that must come true! Take your place here in Paradis and accept your fate" he explained.

LEXI

If someone told Lexi to put a tag on what was happening between her and Dean, she couldn't. She didn't know what it was but it was something new and she was welcoming it with open arms. She was done being lonely and alone. Dean was bringing her out of herself and she wanted to stay so much as she had nowhere else to really go if she did leave. It was hard to explain, but there was just something about the bunker and Dean that made her feel at home.

As he mimicked her tracing by drawing a figure of eight on her shoulder, she smiled warmly at the action. It was so comforting and relaxing to feel, considering how small of an action it was. It also reminded her just how much she missed sweet little moments like this, they felt just as important as the big actions and the sex. As he pulled her closer, if that was even possible, she snuggled into him more as he suggested she did stay.

The moment he tried to make it sound less corny, she continued to smile as she looked up at him once more. "I'd love to stay. I wasn't sure if you two would want me to stay if I'm honest, I didn't want to overstay my welcome but I really like it here. The company is good also" she lightly chuckled before continuing, lifting her free hand up and stroking his cheek as she looked at him. "but I'm serious, even after I get my car back, I'd like to stick around for as long as you'll have me" she told him, her thumb running up and down his cheek.

She meant every single word of what she said as well. Just because she would eventually get her car back, it wouldn't be the clue that she would scarper away and leave the boys high and dry. At any rate, she had to train Anya with them for a start. She didn't have all the answers but she knew the answer to his request of her staying and it was a solid yes. Pushing herself upward, she kissed him once more before she lowered back down and being comfortable in her original position. "Ya know, I actually believe Sam bringing me here was the single best thing he ever did." She smiled.

SAM

As Anya's hips pressed against his, he could stop the little growl escaping his lips into the kiss. The way she could hold her own against him whilst also being slightly dominant was enticing. He had never met anyone like her before and he wanted more. As she broke the kiss, he slightly chased after it before letting it break so she could remove the shirt of his, she had only just put on. Smirking he watched her, studied every curve on her body as he took in the sight before him before he let her remove his own shirt.

As his hair fell in front of his face, he smiled, feeling amused as she brushed his hair out of his face and behind his ears. A moment of sweetness amidst the savage hunger for each other. He gladly kissed her back, just as hungrily as she smashed her lips onto his, letting little growls and moans as he nibbled on his bottom lip before rolling off of him and onto the bed. Without a word being said, he followed her lead and turned over on top of her, leaning down to kiss her again, his hands pressed into his mattress to steady himself above her small frame.

Pulling away just enough, he balanced himself with one hand as he used the other to expertly undo his jeans and belt, kicking them down his legs once undone and then focusing back on her once more. "sure about this?" He asked, still wanting to put her comfort into consideration, despite his need and want to sleep with her.

MIKA

The moment Dean began to speak, Mika wasn't so sure she was ready to hear what he was going to say to her. She didn't want to think about how happy he was with another woman, but she fought her every instinct to get up and walk away or at the very least pace around the room. she knew this was going to be so much harder to hear than she ever thought it would be. It was hard enough when they had a brief discussion after Cupid's stupid antics, but this felt so much heavier, worse even. So much of her wanted to interrupt him, speak, call him out on something but she forced herself to remain silent the entire time. Then came the sentence that hit her like a ton of bricks….he fell in love with Esme. Her eyes began to sting from tears bubbling up, threatening to fall down her cheeks as she felt him grab her hand to stop from running off.

Then it just got worse for her. He was in deeper with Esme than he ever let on before. He LIED to her before and that hurt more than anything, the tears then did fall. He was in so much deeper than she ever was with Ethan. She may have moved in with Ethan, but she couldn't ever pull away from the hunting life or Dean. Yet here Dean was admitting he was ready to just move on with Esme at one point and never look back. She tried to let what he just told her sink in as much as possible, but it was more difficult than she thought it would be. She felt frozen on the spot for a few moments before she pulled her hand away from his, just forcibly enough to make him let go.

“You lied to me…” she finally spoke, refusing to look at him. “you told me it wasn't serious with her…you looked me in the eye and lied to me” she said once more, as she tried her hardest not to fly off the handle and remain calm. Even the words ‘i still would find my way back to you’ didn't dull the hurt she was now feeling. “why Dean? Why lie to me? I've had tried SO hard to be a better person..for you and myself…to not lie or run away when things got tough and you've just been lying all this time? Do you realise how hypocritical that makes you? You call me out for lying, running away or keeping secrets, and you've been doing the exact same thing” her voice was low, she wasn't shouting, it was just remained eerily low and calm as tears fell down her face.

“So all that time ago, when you came rolling into Ethan's town, you were in a serious relationship with her? That was her you were with?” She asked, remembering the same moment in time that Dean had a short while ago. “Whilst I was fighting to not run from Ethan and convince myself all those late night calls from you were nothing but dreams, you were just happily with Esme? That's cold Dean…” she asked, forcing a hand to wipe away some of the tears off her face, before it just went back down onto her lap. This felt like a whole new form of betrayal, especially hearing how Bobby took them both in at one point. Now it all made sense why Bobby was so nice and sweet on Esme, he had known about her and Dean all this time, another stab of betrayal in her heart was felt. She wanted to get up and leave, but she felt frozen on the couch, her hands beginning to shake.

“She did the right thing walking away from you. You played us both back then” she pointed out flatly. That was the only other way she saw it. He played them both because he was too scared to be alone..just like she was afraid to be alone. “I only found Ethan after we had an argument on a hunt. We had walked away by that point, but I still remember finding you on the same hunt with your dad that I was already on and we just had this big argument. Your dad just lectured us both for not staying focused and he was right… that was the night our distractions caused me to get thrown across the mill.” She began, “so I left, leaving you two to finish the job, I couldn't take being in the same area as you both just to be judged from both sides. So I left and found myself in a bar, bashed up, hurting and frustrated. Ethan was the only person in that whole place to come over and ask if I was alright.” She explained.

The memory of that night coming clearer into her mind. She insisted she was fine and didn't need some gorgeous tattooed hot shot inserting himself into her business, but he stayed firm on the spot in front of her. She put it down to being too exhausted to fight him, but the truth was, she did want that kindness from someone. She remembered just finally breaking down at her table and he sat down beside her and just hugged her. He didn't even know her but he showed such kindness and softness to her that she was scared to push away from him. She could hear in her head how he suggested, getting out of the bar, into his shop and patching her up. That was when she found out he owned the tattoo shop in town and a few days later, she begged him to tattoo her back so she didn't have to see her scars in the mirror in the same way.

It was only after the memory played out in her head slightly, that she finally looked Dean in the eyes. “You know how many nights I spent on the phone to Duke hurting because I thought you had fully moved on, but you still kept calling me? Duke was the only one who one hundred percent kept me safe from myself. Not Ethan, not Bobby…Duke.” She told him.

NATALIA

One thing Nat never thought she'd hear Cason say was that he had grown fond of her car. Even if he did call it a death trap. She never really thought about Cason possibly growing fond of her car, but the fact he had meant a lot to her. Maybe now he wouldn't be so averse to being in it with her and maybe when this whole impending doom was over and they survived it, they could just go somewhere. Just them and the car and not look back for a while.

She also never really saw much in common with Dean when it came to her bond with her car and if anyone told her she was like him over it, she probably would try and deny it even if it was true. She had A LOT in common with Dean and if she really let herself admit it, she probably would have wondered if that was why they butted heads so often. They were too alike for their own good at times, whereas with Sam, she could just be a sister and not worry about arguments. So when Sam said she was sounding like Dean before she chucked him her keys, she had to mentally scrub that notion out of her mind. She didn't want to think about how alike her and Dean were, it felt…childishly icky to her brain.

As Cason agreed with Sam that she had to take it easy, she looked over at him as he teased her about how lazy she had to be, the words causing her to scrunch up her face, her nose wrinkling. “I could never be that lazy and you both know it” she told Cason and Sam before getting into the back seat first. The familiar smell of her car and feel of the seats instantly made her feel relaxed whilst she waited for the others to pile in. She slouched in the back seat whilst she could before forcing herself to sit upright and put her seatbelt on whilst the others eventually got in.

Nat did know Cason hated cars, which was why she always appreciated him getting in one despite his dislike of them greatly. She reached out and took his hand as he told Sam not to drive like a maniac, catching Sam do a ‘blink and you'd miss it’ smirk before going serious and beginning the drive out the lot and into town. “Don't worry, he's not Dean…he actually is a safe driver. Especially when he's driving my car. He knows I'd kill him if he so much as scratched it” she told him, giving his hand a reassuring squeeze.

SAM

With Cason agreeing with him about Nat needing to take it easy, he wasn't sure if he should be smug about it or weirded out that a demon was actually agreeing with him. So he decided that as it was about his baby sister, he would go with feeling smug, at least in this instance. The more of them that made Natalia take it easy, the easier it would be for her to actually listen to them all and do as they wish for her. “His words might be a bit far, but see, even he agrees” he told Nat as he watched her make that stupid disgruntled face she always did when she was in a good mood but didn't want to concede to being outnumbered. He seriously never tired of seeing her personality just shine through at times like this. It made him think about her younger self and how she and their dad must have been together, making him wish he could have seen their relationship for himself.

He gave a nod of thanks to Cason not only for agreeing with him, but also for shrugging off his jacket and giving it to Anna. He too only remembered now that she must have left it in Duke's truck. They really should find some time to get their stuff out of it soon he thought, as he didn't know how long Duke would hang around. For now, he had more pressing matters to deal with, feeding the girls and himself. As Anna said she reckoned it had been a couple of days since she last ate, it got him wondering.. when was the last time they all ate? Everything had 0-100 so quickly that even he didn't know a precise moment they all ate.

Getting in the car with the others, he put the keys in the ignition, waited for everyone to be settled and turned the key. Cason asking him to not drive like a maniac brought a very brief smirk to his lips before going back to sensible mode. He started pulling out as Nat explained he was the more careful driver out of himself and Dean and he felt quite proud of that. “like she said, it's only Dean that has moments of insanity behind the wheel.” he added as he pulled out of the lot and onto the main road I to town. It wasn't a far drive, about five to ten minutes at most from Bobby's, but it took an equal amount of time to find a parking spot near the diner as it seemed a lot of people were out tonight. Yet he persevered and did find out, pulling in smoothly and perfectly on the first try.

“Okay, let's hope it won't be a long wait to get the food and bring it back to the house” he said, grabbing the keys and putting them in his jeans pockets so Natalia couldn't try and steal them back. Though there was a niggling part of him that felt if they did have a long wait, it wouldn't be a bad thing. Mika and Dean back at the house, clearly needing to have a private chat entered his mind again and he hoped they would be alright, even if he didn't want to walk back in and fest they were fighting again.

Supernatural - Hell On The Horizon

MIKA

Mika had barely gotten out of her memory when Sam asked her about food. She was just about with enough to answer him before her mind just faded back into that memory of hers. She hated how things got with Ethan, she never wanted to hurt him and when she did, she really started to believe that maybe she was the problem to everyone and everything. She was just thankful that she had managed to grow a bit since that time. But the guilt of hurting him never really went away. She just couldn't have lied to herself and him back then and let him continue to believe she was all in with Ethan when it would always be Dean. That night three years was just the start of the end with Ethan, especially when the next day she saw Dean in the shop opposite and with some other woman, who she now knows was Esme. Back then, seeing him kiss another woman felt like he did it on purpose to hurt her as they briefly caught each other's eyes. She remembered how it hurt so much she had to walk away, luckily a customer coming into the tattoo shop was her excuse to walk away and back inside.

Here and now, she snapped out of her mind’s thoughts when she felt Dean's lips on hers. It took her completely off guard but she still kissed him back. It was a natural reflex to her, as she barely registered that some of the others were still in the room. Slowly pulling away, she looked him in the eyes, lifting her hand and placing it on his arm. “everything okay?” She asked him, not completely unaware that she herself seemed to not be wholly the same as when he went over to Duke. Forcing herself to put on that happy persona again, she noticed the others in the kitchen talking before heading out to get that food that Sam mentioned a little while ago, but didn't really notice Duke and Esme leaving out the front door. The only thing she noticed was how quiet the house was suddenly getting and she didn't know if that was a comforting thing or not.

Once Anna, Sam, Cason and Natalia all headed out via the back door, she sighed as silence welcomed her and Dean. “guess it's just us for a little while. So how about that chat you wanted?” She spoke, deciding if any time was perfect, it would be this one that completely fell into their laps. There was absolutely no avoiding it any longer, that much was clear to her and she didn't know how to properly mentally prepare for what was possibly going to come out of Dean's mouth. Yet she also knew he was no doubt in the same boat about whatever she was going to tell him about Ethan. The thoughts about what could be said made her feel sick to her stomach from nerves, but she had to do it.

After waiting for him to respond, she walked into the living room and sat on the couch, her hands on her knees as she nervously twiddled her fingers, staring at her lap before forcing herself to look at Dean. “So….the history of you and Esme….” She quietly spoke, making herself look up at him.

NATALIA

When she was back with the others and happily pulled into Cason's side, she looked over both their shoulders to say goodbye to Mika when she saw the woman was locked with Dean who had reappeared seemingly out of nowhere. Turning her head back round, she wasn't going to break whatever was up, up. So she walked out the back door with Cason, where she saw her beautiful car just sitting there not scratched up or damaged in any way. It wasn't there this morning so there was only one explanation as to how it got there…Cason somehow got it back. A broad smile that reached her eyes appeared on her lips, turning to Cason then back at her car and back to Cason again. “you got my baby back” she pointed out, feeling ecstatic about it. “you're the best” she beamed, kissing his cheek. Her car meant so much to her for so many deep reasons other than it was her first car. It was the one gifted to her by her brothers and Bobby after they found out she was saving up so hard to get a little run around for herself. It was a symbol of her becoming her own person and gaining independence. It was a symbol of freedom to her.

Then on top of all that, she saw it as her home. Her little haven when things got too much around the boys or a hunt was going on longer than planned and she just crashed in the backseat. It was more than just a car and she had to go over to it, rummaging in her pockets for her keys, which she found easily enough. Letting go of Cason, she reached out and ran her hand over the roof of the car, smiling. “hey girl…I missed you” she spoke softly. “you're sounding like Dean again” she heard Sam tease from behind her. “give me the keys, I'll drive, you need to take it easy….I'm sure Cason would agree with me on that one” Sam smirked which made Natalia roll her eyes, but threw him the keys anyway.

SAM

Cason's reply to his remark actually satisfied him more than he thought it would. He was still suspicious but unlike Dean, he had to keep trying to be open minded. He didn't sense any lie in what Cason said back to him and his actions had proven so far that he was telling the truth. He glanced down at Anna when she spoke up, saying they knew Cason just wanted Nat safe. He was about to ask more questions when Nat appeared back into the kitchen, in her oversized jacket he wished she would replace with a new one and still seeming as happy as ever. like Natalia, he was fully ready to tell Mika and Dean that they would be back shortly, but the way Dean went over to Mika, he decided it was best not to interrupt them.

He could somehow tell that their chat was imminent and it made him glad he agreed to go out to order food with Nat and Cason, and not staying in. He did not want to be around during all those sore memories and wounds being brought up. Taking Anna's hand, he followed the other two out the back door and stepped into the cool air. “gonna be a cold night I think” he said to Anna, keeping her close so she didn't get cold. His attention got pulled from Anna soon after though when Nat practically squealed out of joy of having her car back. ‘so he got it back for her, he really is meaning his words’ he thought to himself. It had been a long time since he saw his sister so genuinely happy and herself. It was almost a bit of a whiplash to the brain as he was expecting her to still be a little shadow of herself considering what she went through.

“Give me the keys, I'll drive..you need to take it easy” he called out, snatching her keys out of the air easily enough. With the keys firmly in his hand, he walked over, let go of Anna's hand so he unlocked the car and gave the signal it was all good to get in. Sam then got into the driver's side as he watched Nat get in the back seat. “so what place are we gonna grab food from? I really want a burger so bad!” Nat asked, as Sam sniggered, “probably the diner then. Can see if they got Dean's favorite pie” he replied.

"From out of Nowhere" - SPN

LEXI

Dean wasn't the only one who thought it just felt right laying there on the bed together. She felt like the two of them were destined to meet and click together, even if it was through something incredibly sad to join them as one. Hearing him breathlessly laugh at her remark, made her feel like she really did say something so corny and awkward. She wished she could have taken her words back, then he said something that made her smirk and laugh too. "what can I say? I'm proud of the tricks I know" she laughed, figuring if she was going to be awkward she may as well own that awkwardness as he wiped a few sweaty strands of her hair off her face.

Like him, she was really starting to feel quite a lot for Dean, it was way more than just a simple crush for her now. Yet how could she tell him that? She didn't want to rush him into anything more than a romp in the sheets every now and then if he wasn't ready for it, but how long could she honestly wait? But then he said something that made her just adjust her head, just enough to be able to look up at him without removing her head off his shoulder.

Smiling, she didn't think it was pathetic sounding at all. "It doesn't sound pathetic" she told him before chuckling warmly at his next little remark. The way he called her darling gave her butterflies, like a school girl. She knew she wouldn't ever tire of hearing him say such things or hearing his accent really shine through the gruffness of his voice. It was like a drug she never wanted to come down from.

"Yes we should" she replied with a chuckle, lifting her hand up just high enough to trace her fingertips around his anti possession tattoo. Laying like this with him made her feel a sense of feeling at home. She wouldn't ever stop loving her fiancée who she lost, but she could most certainly find a part of her heart open to falling in love with Dean, even if they had barely known each other. He was the new start she needed in her life to give her a sense of purpose, she just never knew it until now.

SAM

Sam couldn't pinpoint what it was about this moment with Anya, but somehow her being mute just made this situation all the more intoxicating. Not for any negative reason, but because it meant they really had to use touch and looks to convey everything to each other. Her tightening her grip on his hair made him bite his lip as he had his forehead pressed hers. He pulled her closer to him as she moved her hips and brushed her nose against his own. She was making it so difficult to keep some kind of control.

He found himself gulping down saliva in his throat as she moved her hand down his ear to throat and chest. Goosebumps instantly raising on his skin, just as she planned. Seeing her climb onto his lap, he lifted her up slightly to help her, pulling her legs round his waist before lifting his hands to her waist to keep her supported on his lap.

As she tilted her head and leaned down, he leaned his head upward and kissed her back deeply. He knew she was teasing him, testing how much it would take before he gave I to their urges and just let go of that control he was holding onto. It didn't take long for him before his kiss went deeper and more passionate, his hands ran up and under the shirt she was wearing, holding her firmly in place so she didn't fall.

This girl was going to be the death of him and right now he was completely okay with it.
