LEXI

When Lexi grabbed what she needed and got properly dressed, she couldn't stop smiling to herself. She could match Dean's teasing, certainly match his stamina, and she could wrap him round her finger just enough to feel comfortable asking him to get the coffee going for her if she made breakfast for everyone. She couldn't help it, as much as she thought he was wrapped round her finger, she was most certainly wrapped round his just as tightly.

Walking back toward the kitchen after Dean, she saw Sam and Anya back in the war room and she now understood what Dean was talking about. They did look a utter mess from what she could see of them and it did make her smirk, she just didn't say anything at the moment. Instead she gave them a look of 'fun night I see!' and with a soft chuckle, she walked into the kitchen to see Dean by the coffee machine. She had to really force herself not to walk up behind him and wrap her arms round him, so she made herself head to the fridge and look to see what to pull out ingredients wise. "So what you wanting? Breakfast sandwiches or a full english?" she asked him, her fingers tapping on the fridge door.

"Breakfast sandwich if you're extending the offer!" Sam called through with a smirk that extended to his tone. "Wasn't asking you but alright! Anya you want the same?" Lexi then teased back at him without even looking back. The way Sam called out she knew she could get used being around the brothers like this every morning. Even if she didn't cook every morning, she certainly could happily go through this lighthearted morning. Looking back at Dean over the side of the fridge door, she waited for his answer as she willing to make whatever he wanted.

SAM

As Anya took her phone from his grip, he watched as she quickly typed a message and pressed play, making him chuckle and nod. "Thought it would be" he replied back to her. He looked down at her as he grabbed his hand and tugged him closer to her which made him smirk as he she pulled him down to her level just enough to kiss him. That intoxicating kiss he could never get enough of. He did eventually pull away as he tried to focus on why else he was even in the kitchen, but he was too distracted with looking Anya in the eye as she studied his own eyes. There was something so endearing about the way she felt the need to really take in every feature of his, just as he felt the same way to do the same to her.

He rolled his eyes at her when he heard Dean clear his throat. As Anya also rolled her eyes, he couldn't get over how alike they both were when it came to reacting to Dean's teasing. The moment she asked him if he would be nicer if she admitted he was interrupting something, he had to stifle a laugh from escaping him. Because he was so close to her, he knew she was just joking and that just made it funnier. Then Dean tried to defending himself and the end of his sentence made him raise an eyebrow and turn to face his brother. Oh how every fibre of his being wanted to ask him what he was about to truly say before he corrected himself, but he wouldn't..not yet anyway.

He found himself glancing back at Anya as she pushed herself off the worktop, her skin squeaking against the metal making him try and control his reactions to it as she hopped off. Reaching an arm out to steady her as she landed on the ground, flush against him he made sure she was firmly on her feet before he let go of her so she could reassure Dean she was just joking around. He watched her as she put her phone back in his pocket, a smile appearing on his face again before letting her just pull him out the kitchen and into the war room. Like Anya, he knew more teasing and questioning would no doubt happen and he wasn't prepared to deal with it until he had at least had caffeine in his system, along with food.

A few minutes later, as he sat on a chair he watched as Lexi arrived looking more dressed than when he first saw her this morning. He wondered if his own teasing caused her to get dressed in different clothing or not. If it was his doing he would class it as a win. Sure he was mature and old enough to not be creating scores out of everything, but this time it felt different and warranted. He put his focus back onto Anya, deciding he would ask her to show him a couple of signs for him to learn, when he heard Lexi talking about making breakfast.

"I'll take a breakfast sandwich if you're extending the offer!" he cheekily called out, smirking to himself. If they were going to get teased about the bruises, then the least Lexi could do was make them breakfast. Lexi's response made him laugh as it was very clear what a good mood she was in.

JOHN'S PLACE

Kay tried to sit up slowly, making sure not to move too quickly and risk making herself light headed. When John realised what she was implying, she gave a slow nod. "I don't really understand it to be honest, but I think I was in some kind of cave or something? There...were hieroglyphics all over the place, like crude ones. Then this guy appeared out of nowhere..." she began to explain as she forced herself to remember everything she could. "He told me it was my destiny to be there. I'm guessing to lead them, whoever them was" she added, "but then he threatened me with a prophecy of me killing Fia if I didn't accept who I was" she finished explaining.

That last bit of information hurt the most. She could still see the figure's face looking serious and foreboding as he stared at her. "I got so scared I ran and that's when I woke up" she then added, realising she forgot to mention that part. She tried to remember if she was told where it was she was stood, but her mind was foggy. Then she had an idea, "get me my sketchbook and pencils...I think I can draw out what I saw" she suggested.

LUX BAR

Fia could feel Drake shaking against her, as she tried to keep a firmer hold on his hand in an attempt to comfort him but she felt like she was doing a pretty poor job. "She'll be okay" she told him once more, determined to get it through to his head. "I'm right here" she cooed.

Maze gave a nod and went straight to the bar to help him look for the salts. "If it's not in one of these cupboards, I might have another idea of where it could be" she replied to Lucifer, not personally finding anything. "But yeah, we did use some of it" she replied, "you used smelling salts in drinks!?" Chas asked surprised at what he just heard and hoped he heard wrong. That could not be healthy to be mixing smelling salts with alcohol in his opinion.

Josh just kept trying to wake Serena the old fashioned way, keeping ahold of her and stroking her hair. "Come on babygirl...wake up" he spoke softly near her ear, hoping she would wake up soon. He hated feeling so useless and helpless in these situations. He wasn't immortal or had some kind of power, he was just a normal mortal and there was nothing he could do to help her.

Supernatural - Hell On The Horizon

NATALIA

There wasn't a single part of Natalia that could possibly blame Anna for what happened in that barn. Anna was just as much of a victim to Dean's decision making as she was. Yes she was angry, she was extremely angry and wanted to punch Dean's lights out, but that didn't stop her from seeing Anna was hurting just as much over what went down in the barn, if not hurting even more so. Feeling Anna cling onto her made her see how much Dean hurt her and that just added to her anger. Anna didn't deserve this, none of them did but in Dean's need to be right or have some kind of control over an impossible situation, he ended up hurting everyone….again. She just really hoped that Anna could now see she could turn to Nat if she ever needed to. The two of them had to stick together.

As Anna wiped her face to try and hide how much she had been crying, Nat took a few deep breaths looking in the mirror to try and control the anger she could feel bubbling around inside. She didn't want to unleash her fury in a diner, especially as that anger was meant for one person and one person only. It didn't help that she was absolutely starving so it all just added fuel to the fire. Following Anna out of the bathroom, she waved in and out of the crowd, spotting Sam in the distance at a booth before she saw Cason. Sam really did feel like a beacon at times. Reaching the booth, she just sat down next to Cason, a lot quieter than when earlier, finding she was clenching her fist and opening it again on repeat for a sense of control.

She listened as Cason asked Anna if everything was okay, deciding that whatever excuse Anna would use, Nat would go along with it as best she could. she didn't even need to look at Cason to see he was looking at her suspiciously, not believing Anna in the slightest. “uh huh, perfect” she replied, glancing at him as if the lie would be any more believable. He already thought of her as a terrible liar so she didn't even know she tried to lie to him. She knew she would have to tell him she knows what happened at some point but she didn't want to bring it up here in the diner. It had to wait until they got home….where Dean was. She didn't think she could hold back if she clocked eyes with him and knew she would have to try and avoid him as much as possible. Yet that was always easier said than done in Bobby's and if she did confront him, she had to be prepared for people pulling her back or Mika scolding her like a child. But if she got a punch in it would be worth it.

SAM

Sam never thought he would have made Cason laugh that wasn't a sarcastic laugh. Yet there he was actually joking around with the man. He also could help but wonder if the reason Cason turned round to see where the girls were was because like him, he was a little bit worried as he knew that they didn't usually take that long, at least…Nat never did. Half the time Natalia was even quicker than he or Dean. When Cason started to joke about popping in to see what was taking them so long, he was ready to completely shut down that idea as it just felt a little creepy to him, even if Cason was just joking. Maddie's appearance with the first bag of food completely interrupted them however and luckily just ended that conversation naturally.

Hearing Cason call the waitress ma'am was a little bit of a head spinner as it was so incredibly old school compared to what he had been used to hearing Cason saying. It was a stark reminder just how old Cason was and it made his mind cringe slightly knowing how he and Nat seemed to love each other. That was going to take a lot of getting used to. Luckily for him, the sight of the girls arriving back once Maddie had left to get the rest of their food, Sam felt he could get his mind on anything but the age gap. He began to open his mouth to make some quip about the time they took, but one looks at their faces and he knew to shut his mouth instantly. Something was wrong, their whole personas were different to when they went into the bathroom and he got concerned about what was said between them. The only thing he wasn't theorising was that they had some kind of argument as it would have looked very different.

He wanted to ask about what changed their mood. Wondering if they had a spat with someone else in the bathroom or if what he dreaded the most happened, Anna told her about the barn. He hoped it wasn't the latter but something in the pit of his stomach told him it was. Especially when Anna blatantly lied about being fine and Natalia just grumbled about being perfect, her tone telling a different story.

About a minute or two later, Maddie came back with the rest of the food in a couple of bags, putting them down and Sam paid for it all. “Okay, let's head back. Seems like you both just need to eat and kick back for a bit” he remarked, trying to convince himself of their words. He watched Nat grab one of the bags of food and stand up, shimmying out of the booth and just seeming to be utterly zoned out. It was then he noticed how she was clutching the bag so tightly, she was trying not to explode emotionally. He gave Cason a look that ‘i deal with Anna, you Nat when we get back?’. He really didn't have a good feeling about what was going to happen when they got back, so he grabbed the other two bags, followed Anna out of the booth when she was ready to get up and headed out to Nat's car.

JOHN'S PLACE

John may have said she didn't go anywhere and that she was safe, but she didn't feel like it was completely true. Whilst her body stayed here, in his arms, her mind certainly didn't stay. She didn't know how to tell him that she did go somewhere, at least partially and wherever it truly was she went, it was terrifying and whoever she spoke to scared her greatly. That the only reason she snapped out of whatever it was, a trance? A vision? A full blown mental trip? Was because she fell off a cliff side.

She listened as John spoke to Chas over the phone, Chas' voice just about breaking through to her as she tried to come to terms with what happened to her. Then Bane spoke up, explaining he felt a fraction of what she went through. "I'm sorry the link made you feel that headache..." She mumbled, refusing to get out of John's grip, only feeling safe in his arms. Then the words just csme out of her mouth, not realising his phone was still connected to his call with Chas.

"I...I think I did go somewhere John...." Came the words.

LUX BAR

Chas looked a Ross and up at Lucifer as John's suggestion came through the speaker on his phone. He could tell by everyone's reaction and facial expressions that Lucifer had already made up his mind to agree to John's request. "we'll get ready and head back as soon as possible." He replied, when he suddenly heard what Kay said in the background, *what does she mean...she went somewhere?" He asked, aware of Serena asking after Kay as well.

Josh knelt down beside her and pulled her into him, kissing the top of her head. "I think so...I think so" he replied, not knowing for certain if Kay truly was okay. He didn't want to give her false information or lie to her, so he could say what he thought was the best thing. Just as he was going to ask her if she was okay, she passed out herself.

"Serena!" He gasped, keeping a hold on her so she didn't hit her head on the floor as she went sideways. He looked up at everyone and saw how scared Drake was, "she's going to be okay Drake, I promise" he told him, pulling her closer to him again and then looked down at her, sweeping her hair out of her face, "come on Serena...wake up beautiful" he cooed to her.

Fia kept a hold of Drake, rubbing his back softly with one hand, "she'll be alright. She has us all here this time." She reminded him, "if I have to, I'll step in to help her okay?" She added, looking up at him as he was always just that little bit taller than her.

"John I gotta go, Serena has passed out. See you soon" he spoke one last time on the phone before hanging up.

"From out of Nowhere" - SPN

LEXI

The shower with Dean in her eyes just went by way too fast. It wasn't rushed in the slightest but it still felt rushed to her. She enjoyed the closeness with him, but she figured the closeness didn't have to stop, just because they were out of the shower. She had managed to dry off and get dressed again in her shorts and strap top, again, only realising that she didn't bring spare clothes with her to get changed into. She would have to go back to her room to get proper clothes soon.

She followed him out, hair still slightly wet hearing him going on ahead slightly. Out of the door, she closed it behind her and jogged to catch up to him, gladly walking close to him as he pulled her closer by her hip. An action that made her subconsciously wrap an arm round him waist back before a smirk appeared on her lips as he leaned into her ear and said what she did.

"Well I guess you'll have to show me after work as that's not an offer a girl can pass up on" she smiled, looking up at him and pecking his lips quickly as they walked. Something she had mastered to do with her ex. As they got further down the halls and back toward where her room was, she remembered she needed stuff from it still, as well as being certain he left his phone in her room as well. "you go on ahead, just gonna grab something, change clothes and I'll be right out. Get me a coffee?" She explained then ended it on a request.

"I'll make breakfast if you want" she offered, reluctantly letting go of Dean's waist then heading into her room once more. Once inside, she pulled out a pair of her jeans, and shirt, getting changed swiftly before grabbing a clip for her hair and clipping it up so it didn't drip into her clothing.

Seeing Dean's phone on her bedside table, she picked up and shoved it in her pocket then grabbed her own phone and walked out of her room, towards the kitchen.

SAM

He didn't need to know any kind of sign to understand Anya's nod when he gave the warning about the other two being up and about. Sam swe the way she smirked as he described the state of the other two and it made him smirk back as he finally got that first sip of coffee in his system.

Glancing back at her after focusing on his mug, Sam saw the wickedness in her smirk and he just knew she was concocting something in that smart brain of hers. Part of him wanted to ask her what she was thinking, but another part of him wanted it to be a surprise once the other two showed their faces. Then her expression turned softer and it made him want to just scoop her up and hold her all over again.

He looked over at her when she snapped her fingers at him to get his attention and as she began to slowly sign, he watched intently. He really wished Lexi had taught him more sign language than what he already knew as he found himself trying to mentally pick up the gaps in his knowledge by guessing. He understood enough to get a good enough assumption of what she said and he couldn't help but smile at what she was trying to tell him. "I feel happy" he replied.

"oh! Almost forgot, here" he said, pulling her phone out of his sweats pocket and handing it to her. "Saw it in the room and figured you would want it on you" he explained, not realising that her earlier smirk was related to wanting her phone back to rip Dean a new one...or several.

"From out of Nowhere" - SPN

LEXI

Lexi's calmness came from the fact that unlike Dean, she just saw Anya and Sam as adults. That and she knew if she got judgemental and disappointed in the two of them, she would instantly become a hypocrite. She was also far too amused by the idea Sam and Anya getting so freaky with each other that they left bruises on each other, Sam seemed like the last person to be like that in bed to her. Dean seemed exactly the type, but not Sam.

She could stop the chuckle escaping her lips when Dean mentioned about being curious on Sam's state and she had to nod to agree. "it'll be a sight that's for sure!" She replied, letting Dean just pull her down the hallway. She didn't even get to pick up her towel that she had previously laid out, so it seemed this incoming shower was going to be highly interesting. She continued to walk with him when they caught sight of Sam leaving his room and she had to lift her free hand up to her mouth to hide the amused smile on it. The man really looked like he had an action packed night and if they didn't know he was in the bedroom all night, she could have sworn he suffered those injuries on a hunt.

"Quite the uhh...collection you got going on there Sam" she added to Dean's words, trying her hardest to stifle the laughter that was itching to come out of her mouth. The only times she had only known him to go around shirtless was if he had come out of a shower and still to find a clean shirt out of his bag. It was rare as they didn't usually share a motel room, but there were times they did have to share, or his room had a broken shower so he popped into her room to use her shower.

SAM

Sam really hoped he could get through the halls before bumping into Dean and Lexi, but the moment he stepped outside he heard his brother's voice call his name and he knew instantly why. He closed his eyes briefly to centre his mind so he didn't get snarky with him and Lexi's words that followed made it extremely difficult.

Turning his head to briefly look at them both and saw that neither had a right to be judging him. Dean was in what felt to him, less than he himself was and Lexi was just in the bare minimum herself. Not to mention they still looked a mess despite having slept at some point in the night. Or so he assumed. "Like you're one to talk Dean!" He called back, turning his back to them both yet again and hurried to the kitchen where he found Anya sitting on the worktop and having a coffee.

"You probably know, but they're up and already making things awkward for me. So be prepared" he warned her, walking up to her and leaning over her to get a mug so he could get some coffee himself. He was going to need it if he was to be able to cope with Dean's teasing. With the coffee poured into his mug, he lifted it up to his lips and took a sip. "Though those two seem still really close. Walking toward the shower I think, hand in hand and barely dressed. So if we need it, we got our own verbal weapons to use against them back" he smirked to her.

Supernatural - Hell On The Horizon

MIKA

Mika felt she had to try and keep a bit of hope and positive thinking about whatever was coming for them. She knew if she let herself think about the realities of there always being a price to any ‘easy’ job, she most certainly wouldn't cope and would just refuse to leave the house. She couldn't do that anymore, she couldn't try and convince Dean and the others to just walk away from what was coming because of the realities that it most certainly meant. So she forced herself to keep the hope that it would be fine, whatever it was and they'd all get out safe and sound. They needed a win.

As Dean rocked back onto his feet just enough to get back onto the couch, she followed his guidance as she watched what he was doing. She knew this tactic, it reminded her of when he did it once when they were teenagers and she had just an argument with her dad about Dean and Bobby being in her life. She remembered how Dean squatted in front of her because she refused to lift her head up, so he did the only thing he knew how to make her look at him. When he finally got through to her, he did this exact same thing- crawl onto the couch, lay down and pull her with him so she could just hug him. It always brought her out of herself or made her calm, so when he did it once again here and now, she felt a sense of familiarity in the action. Mika let herself lay between his legs, her head on his shoulder as she hugged him and he combed through her hair with his fingers.

The moment he played the first introductions card, she really couldn't help but smile back at him. “Hi Dean, I'm Mika” she joked back to him, letting him lift her head up just enough to kiss her. Kissing him back just as softly made her get that sense of feeling at home, that feeling that one only got when they were truly with the person they loved with all their heart. Sure, she was literally home in Bobby's house, but in so many ways Dean was also her home. Wherever he was, her home was. The slowness of the kiss felt so much more intimate than any other kiss of theirs, she tangled her leg over his when she felt him sliding one of his legs between hers. The whole time she matched his kiss, not caring how it seemed. Dean was right, they had lost so much time from either being a part or arguing about the past. Life was too short and she was determined to make up for that time every chance she got. As he deepened the kiss, she did too, lifting a hand up to his neck, placing it on the underside of his jawline. She may not know just how much Dean was dreading whatever was coming, she knew he wasn't exactly ready for it. None of them were.

NATALIA

The mood shift from Anna told Natalia that what she was about to hear wasn't going to be good. it now worried her immensely of what she was about to be told. She could see how frightened and anxious Anna was about having to tell her and she swore to herself, whatever it was Anna was not going to be to blame. Whatever the group was keeping from her, it was serious, that much was clear from Anna's body language. Then the information started being told and Nat found herself looking wide eyed at what she was hearing. It wasn't just complicated like Cason said, or that the iron was slowing the process of healing for him earlier, it was more life threatening than that. When she was in the asylum, Cason almost literally died, the demons torturing her telling her he was dead weren't fully lying. They really thought he would have been.

She continued to listen as she watched Anna tuck hair behind her ear and then explain further that a lot of Cason's stab wound was because of Dean, that it was Dean who ordered they leave him behind for dead, made her blood boil. Yet again Dean had been determined to rip Cason from her, never had the intention to TRY and pull him out when he promised her at the car he would bring Cason back to her, if she stayed back. She felt she had been stupid for deciding to trust him and his words. She trusted all of them! Sam, Mika…they all told her they would Cason out if she just remained in the car. The hurt in her eyes wasn't easily hidden. She believed every word Anna told her, how she begged them to go back for Cason. Now it all made sense when Anna rushed over to him when they all got back to Bobby's. It all made sense why they looked shocked he was even alive. She was going to absolutely rip Dean a new one for this.

Instead of saying anything initially, Nat just walked up to Anna and pulled her into a hug. “none of this is your fault. You were hurt and betrayed by his decision as much as I was.” She told her, showing she was still wanting to be her friend and held no grudges against her. “Dean promised me he'd get Cason back….they all did. ‘no man gets left behind’ and all that. I guess I shouldn't be surprised they lied to me again…it's a habit for them after all….” She told Anna, trying so hard not to cry herself. She was done crying. All she could feel was betrayal and anger towards her siblings, and she never thought she could feel that from Sam. Sam always had her back, always. Now she's found out he went along with Dean's decision? She didn't know how to process that kind of betrayal. Dean she expected it from, but not Sam….not even Mika. Then again, Mika always took Dean's side.

Pulling away from Anna slowly, she looked her in the eyes. “I don't blame you for any of this. I know you would have tried everything you could to fight my brother on that choice. I'm on your side Anna.” She told her honestly, trying her best to show her that her anger was not aimed at Anna in the slightest. She didn't know how she was going to face the boys out in the main diner now, but she knew she had to. Every bit of happiness she was feeling had been ripped from her very soul with this information. But Anna was right, she did deserve to know and from what Anna told her? It was most definitely something Dean and probably Cason would have kept from her until it was well and truly water under the bridge.

“Come on…let's get back to the other two before they start wondering what's taking us so long. But thank you Anna, for being so honest with me. It means the world” she gave her a little reassuring smile to show she meant it, even if that smile didn't reach her eyes.

SAM

Cason's words about him knowing it's possible for his kind to fall in love, raised Sam's curiosity about the subject. If there was a book out there that explained that, he most definitely wanted to find it and read up on it. It was the book worm in him and his never ending need to constantly learn about their enemies. “If there's a book, we'll find it. I get the feeling you wanna know more about it all as I do” he replied to Cason before letting him continue talking and swearing to Sam that he would never put Nat in danger or hurt her. Sam seemed to be content with Cason's answer, and the fact the man was willing to let his issues with Dean go for the sake of Natalia and his love for her told Sam everything he wanted to know. There was no other reasonable instance where he'd see Cason just moving on from his dislike of Dean and willingly work with him, so Natalia clearly did mean something to Cason.

“Okay” she began saying, “I believe you and trust you to make her happy and safe. I don't need to say you hurt her, I hurt you…we both know you already know that” he added before smirking at Cason's little joke about waterboarding him with holy water. “Only if you hurt my sister” he joked back, but there was a sense of seriousness in his statement. He then looked towards the restrooms and still saw no sign of the girls. “Have they dropped into a black hole or something?” He then joked, before seeing Maddie coming over with half their order. “rest is coming up boys” she stated, putting the bag down on the table. “sure I can't ya anything sugar?” She asked Cason, having been aware there was nothing for him.

"From out of Nowhere" - SPN

LEXI

Dean's reply about needing the exercise made her half smirk and half chuckle, whilst shaking her head lightly, her still damp messy red hair falling in front of her face on one side. Lifting one hand up, she tucked it behind her ear to try and keep it under control if it was even possible right now. She noticed the way he began to smirk at her and she felt like she could go weak at the knees. He really did get right under her skin in all the best ways and she wouldn't have it any other way. The next words that came out of his mouth made her raise an eyebrow, but smirk back. "Well...Dean Winchester, that's quite the proposition you've made me" she replied, stepping around the bed to his side of it and perching on the edge.

"I guess I should give you an answer" she flirtatiously smirked back, looking down at how close their fingers were to each other's. Suddenly a solo shower seemed completely out of the question and not an option. Deliberately looking up to his face slowly, she smiled more. "I say lead the way" she replied, unable to get the smile off of her face.

Getting back up, she went back to grab something to wear that wasn't a bed sheet. She wasn't expecting to bump into the other two on their way to Dean's shower, but she also didn't want to take that risk either. So she found a loose fitting strap top and mini shorts, pulling them on as Dean headed toward the door first, opening it and stepping out waiting for her. As she turned to head to the door, she saw Dean leaning back in over the threshold muttering to her about what he just saw which made her raise an eyebrow. "Oh really?" she whispered, highly entertained by the news that Anya and Sam got rough in the night. She stepped up to Dean, taking his hand once Anya had walked past Dean. "After the shower, we're questioning those two. Make it as awkward for them as possible" she told him with a wicked smile on her lips. It was just too tempting of a situation to put Sam and Anya in, she couldn't pass it up.

SAM

As Anya pressed her hand against his forehead and used him to sign, he smiled widely and let out a little mini chuckle as she showed what a playful mood she had woken up in. It was intoxicating and he had to really implement self control or he truly would just stay in bed all day and not move unless it was to get a drink and nothing else. It seemed Anya was getting that from him as she made the first move to get up off the bed and look for the shirt she had found last night to borrow. He couldn't help himself but watch her the entire time, taking in the way her body moved. She was rapidly becoming a drug he never wanted to come down from.

He snapped out of his thoughts about how much he hoped she would stay for a while and how much he just felt the need to be near her the entire time. He wished he could figure out why he felt like that so quickly when he barely knew her or what it was about her that drove him crazy, but either way he wasn't complaining. He gave her a nod of understanding at the universal sign for 'drink' as she pushed himself up to sit up a bit more, rather than letting himself remain laid down. He was convinced if he stayed flat on the bed, he would just easily go back to sleep for a bit.

Matching her smirk at her next sign, he forced himself to get up and off the bed, where he leaned down and grabbed a pair of sweats to pull on so he was somewhat decent for walking through the bunker. He couldn't be bothered to find a shirt, knowing eventually he would find his way to the shower but only when he was certain that Dean or Lexi wasn't in it. From his room, he heard another door open and that was when he figured either or both Dean and Lexi had got up and about to be wandering through the halls. This made him look in his mirror and try desperately to smooth out out his matted hair like some school girl trying to hide her morning walk of shame signs.

It was proving useless, some strands of hair just refused to flatten and it made him sigh before he just took a deep breath, exhaled once more and stepped out of his room.

Supernatural - Hell On The Horizon

MIKA

It was difficult at several moments to stay out when they had their chat and admitted to each other some very hard truths. There were times when she did want to just run, get away so she could get her thoughts and emotions in check without looking him in the face, but if she was going to tell him she was determined to change and fight for them? She had to stay put and that's why she did. She could have easily gotten angry at him, could have made up new reasons to shout and scream at him, but she was just too tired of doing that. She didn't know if it was because she had actually matured quite a lot in the four months he was in Hell or the situation that happened the night before made her see that life was too short and she had to keep those she loved close to her, but whatever the reason was, she was actually thankful for taking the more positive choice.

She knew as well as any hunter that growing old whilst in this life was a rare luxury, but she wanted to fight to get them both an opportunity to try and get that luxury. It was her way of telling him if they had normal lives she would marry him if they ever came up. She had always said she was his, and that feeling had never gone away. Yes, she did love Ethan for a while, but that filtered out the moment Dean had crept back into her head during that time apart. She still hated how her and Ethan ended, how violent they both were and vile they were with their words. She still regretted those words, Ethan never deserved any of it but leaving on such bad terms almost made it easier for her to leave him and to run back to Dean. That night would forever be seared into her mind.

“dammit Bobby just tell me where he is! I've already tried Duke, but I can't get through to him. Please! I'm begging you, I need to see him!” She practically screamed down the phone as she had him on speaker whilst she drove down the road and out of town. Her face is tear stained, knuckles bruised and cut from when she punched Ethan's worktop in frustration. A little nick on her left cheek, just under her eye when she dodged a flying vase he threw at her. Hair disheveled from the argument and fight. She just had to get to Dean, if she could just find him and beg him to take her back, get answers for all those late night phone calls….she could at least get an answer one way or another of where she stood with him. She had to know where the two of them stood with each other. If she and him were never to be again, then she had to stop all contact. Make it known to Dean that if they were to be apart then the calls had to stop. But she hoped it would be different, that he would pick her over this other woman.

She knew Dean in ways that no one else did or could. She wasn't ready to let go of their history. To let go of all those memories of him sneaking into her house via her bedroom window, the way he stood up to her dad to protect her. “..fine kid, I'll text you his location” came the words she was waiting for finally from her phone. “thank you” she said, ending the call and kept driving.

When she found Dean again, she stood in the distance watching him. It had started raining, and she tried to convince herself to move forward. “Just move girl..just move…” she told herself. After a pep talk to herself, she managed to step forward as they locked eyes. “...hi” she simply said looking like a drowned rat, vulnerable as she just looked at him.

Him confirming to her that he would fight to live as long as possible with her made her snap out of her memory. It was probably the first time she ever heard him say it. She always thought it was slightly one sided but to finally hear him say those words made her rethink that belief. As he rocked forward and kissed her deeply and passionately, she knew the kiss all too well. She kissed him back just deeply and passionately, her hands placing themselves on his hips before he reluctantly pulled away in an act of self control. She opened her eyes slowly and looked him in the eye. His green eyes always making her feel like the world just fades out into oblivion. They were so bright in comparison to her incredibly dark eyes, just yet another thing about him that seemed so different to her but complimented her perfectly.

Nodding at his words, she hoped it would be true. “And I'll always be there too. Let's just hope it goes our way. I can't handle thinking of any other way” she told him.

NATALIA

In the bathroom, Nat wouldn't help but raise an eyebrow when Anna locked the door behind them both. She suddenly got a feeling this wasn't a case of Anna just not wanting to go here on her own. She leaned against the nearby sink as she watched Anna give a little smirk before she turned serious and began talking about Cason. At first, she thought maybe she was going to check what Nat's feelings truly were toward Cason or give her advice on how to deal with him as Anna had spent a lot of time with him, but that wasn't the case. She began to vaguely talk about the barn, which made Natalia frown and look at the ground as Anna spoke. She did eventually look back up at the woman, taking in what she was being told. All she knew was that Cason said it was complicated but he was fine. She, of course, thought from his tone that there was more to it than just being complicated but as he wasn't prepared to bombard her with what happened at the time, she wasn't going to press him on it.

Instead of speaking up, she just listened to Anna. The girl clearly needed to get something off her chest so she wasn't going to interrupt that incase Anna bottled it and closed herself off again. She wanted to be Anna's friend, be someone who Anna felt she could turn to and talk to whenever she needed it. She wanted to be someone Anna could count on to be her ally and not just because she was dating Sam. “Well I for one am happy you're with Sam. You make him happy” she simply commented as she saw Anna begin to try and smile. It made her begin to smile back, but that smile didn't last long as Anna's next words got her instantly worried. ‘when we left him’ were the words that echoed and repeated round her mind as she heard Anna continue talking.

“Uhh..care to elaborate? What do you mean, when you guys left Cason?” She asked her, folding her arms across her chest to stop herself from pushing herself into an upright position. “Anna, what do you mean by that? He just told me it was complicated, but I always felt there was more to it. What happened in the barn?” She asked her, now wanting the full truth, no matter how painful it would be to hear. She had to know what Cason was holding back from her, no matter the reason for keeping her in the dark about it.

SAM

Sam was oblivious to the way the waitress had spoken to him. He just saw it as her being friendly because he, Nat, Mika and Dean had become known in town thanks to their links to Bobby. He was so in love with Anna, he didn't even notice when other girls would flirt with him.

In the booth as they waited for their food and the girls, he listened to Cason's reply and acceptance of his thanks. He gave a nod, accepting his reply as the truth even if he would always regret not being there for Natalia when it really mattered. Though it would have been a stronger sense of regret if Mika and Dean hadn't gone after her as well as Cason. He couldn't bear the thought of Nat dying alone and her thinking none of them cared enough to try and save her. He gave Cason time to then explain how he felt about Natalia after his initial words, seeing how Cason had carefully chosen his words about his relationship with her. Hearing him say he would do anything to keep Nat safe, he could hear it was the truth in Cason's tone and that was all well and good but keeping his sister safe was just one part of being involved with her in his eyes. He didn't want Cason stringing her along, make her get emotionally attached if Cason wasn't going to be able to do the same.

All his knowledge told him that demons were incapable of feeling emotions like love, so how did Cason really feel about Nat? “But how do you feel about her? Outside of being fiercely protective? I've never seen her this happy before and I don't want her heart to be broken. I'm willing to give you a chance, more so than Dean ever will…I just need to know she'll not get emotionally hurt by you” he told him honestly, deciding to just get straight to the point. “I love that girl and I just wanna protect her the way our dad never did” he added with a soft sigh, wondering what was taking the girls so long. He didn't want to lecture Cason, but he needed convincing that Cason was actually being truthful with him as he knew how well demons lied. He needed to know as much as possible if he were to take his side when Dean eventually noticed the bond that Cason and Nat had developed properly. He knew Dean would take it well whatsoever and Nat would need all the allies she could get to defend her decisions to be with Cason.

LEXI

Lexi didn't have any nightmares, she didn't even really dream too much. She just found herself in an incredibly deep sleep the whole night. It was quite the change for her as, like Dean, she would at least have one nightmare in a night or a sad dream about her ex visiting her. But not this time. Being with Dean had completely calmed her mind.

As he pulled her closer to him after throwing his phone onto her nightstand, she began to stir awake but she didn't want to quite open her eyes just yet. So she decided to pretend she was still asleep just for a moment more, making the most of feeling Dean holding her close. But her breathing would have given her away to the fa t she was waking, and she found herself starting to smile as she felt him in her hair and then ear.

"Mornin'" she sleepily replied, slowly opening her eyes as he spoke once more about getting up. She let out a little yawn as she continued to mentally wake up, then turned her head just enough to be able to look at him. "You're probably right" she replied with a sigh. She then fully turned round in his grip to face him properly, smiling as she finally got a proper look at his face. No sign of him having woken up due to a nightmarish memory, just a look of peace and happiness as he looked down at her and held her.

"Wouldn't want the kids to come banging on the door demanding breakfast and answers of what we did last night" she smirked, a soft sleepy chuckle escaping her lips at the very mental image of what she just described. Stretching her head up, she placed a kiss on his lips, feeling like she could truly get used to this kind of wake up. Forcing herself to pull right back from him, she pulled at one of the sheets on the bed to wrap around her body as she sat up, then made herself stand up.

The sheet draping down her back, showing off her shoulder blades and part of her back as she stood. It had been so long since she woke up and got up like this, but she knew she could get used to it. Her bare feet patting across the floorboards as she walked over to grab a towel in preparation for going to take a shower, chucking it on the desk once she found it. She then walked back over to Dean, the temptation to just climb onto the bed and hover him great, but she had to behave herself. "so...you gonna get up or just lay there in bed looking incredibly tempting and like a good excuse for me to come back to bed" she smirked.

SAM

By the morning, Sam was well and truly worn and sore. Anya's kiss behind his ear stirring him awake in a soft way he hadn't felt in a long time, or if ever. Yet he didn't actually open his eyes, instead he continued to lay there 'asleep' for a little while. If he could just pretend for a little while longer, to hold onto this moment for just that much longer before waking up and accepting it was a new day, he'd be a happy man.

He was aware of how silent the rest of the bunker seemed to be and just assumed that Dean and Lexi were still asleep, which if true would have been quite something as he knew Dean had a habit of waking up in the night a lot. He'd almost lost count of the amount of times he had gotten up stairs a normal time, only to find that Dean had been up and awake at a stupid time in the early hours. A small sigh escaped him, giving away that he was in fact awake, making him open his eyes slowly as he tilted his head and kissed the top of Anya's head.

Everything from the night before came flooding back into his head as he remembered how much Anya had completely worn him out. She had some serious stamina that he had to admire as they went on for a second round, a smirk appearing in his lips. "thought you was going to break me last night" he teased, pulling her closer to him so he could wrap both arms around her to keep her close for just that bit longer. He didn't want to let go of her in the slightest even though he knew they couldn't stay like this all day.

"I guess we should get up..." He finally sighed, his thumb rubbing her shoulder as he made no effort to take action on his words. He ached all over, was certain they both had bruises in places that not even he could hide from Dean and Lexi and it made him realize that the moment they all were up, there was going to be a lot of questions asked and teasing.
