Under Your Skin

Chapter 1

"I went down to rescue you. I went all the way down. I went down for the remains, sort through all your blurs and stains."

Lexi Brennan thanked the stranger as she got out of his car handing him a twenty for his trouble of driving her from the bus station to the roadhouse in front of her. She looked up at the building suddenly feeling very nervous; maybe this wasn't such a good idea. She didn't know the people inside and who knows if Dean was even in there or if he was going to show up anytime soon.

Lexi took a deep breath tucking her long blonde and black tipped hair behind her ears before she walked in the door. She felt all eyes turn to her when she walked in making her feel naked wondering if the hunters in the bar knew what she was. Her normally mischievous green eyes scanned the room hoping to see Dean leaning back in a chair at one of the tables but no such luck. Lexi walked up to the bar removing her slightly worn black leather jacket hanging it on the chair in front of her before sitting down and adjusting the straps on her black corset top.

"What can I get you?" the older woman behind the bar asked her gruffly.

Lexi looked up at the woman in front of her pausing a beat before answering her, "A gin and tonic with lime, more gin less tonic."

She looked at the drink sitting in front of her idly playing with the little red straw watching the lime move around the top of the glass. She looked up feeling as if someone was watching her; Ellen stood close by her arms crossed staring, "Haven't seen you here before." It came out more as an accusation than a statement.

"No you haven't, I'm just passing through…."

Ellen nodded the answer seeming to placate her when Lexi looked up again stating, "Actually I'm looking for someone, an old friend of mine. I think he comes here from time to time. He's a little older than me, short hair, green eyes, smug, permanent smirk on his face……"

"There's a lot of guys around here that fit that description, hun."

"His name's Dean….Dean Winchester….."

Ellen walked over to Lexi placing her hands on the bar nodding, "Dean's a bit of a regular here. I can't tell you where he is or when he'll be here again."

Lexi sighed twisting a lock of hair around her index finger, "Well, if you see him will you tell him Lexi's looking for him?"

"Will do."

Three hours later

Dean threw his prized black Impala in park only a little annoyed at Sammy's disappearance. He couldn't have gone far he thought to himself. He was probably doing something geeky with Ash, wasn't like he was going to find him at the Roadhouse half lit, nah not at all that was more Dean's thing than Sammy's.

Dean strode into the bar with a cocky grandness as if he owned the place. He glanced around once…twice before making his way to the bar. "Hey Ash you've seen Sammy around here today?"

"No not today but there's a fine looking girl over there that's been asking for ya." Ash stated motioning towards the pool table with his half empty beer bottle.

Dean's eyes followed the direction that the beer bottle was pointing in, a small smile tugging at the corners of his mouth, "Well I'll be damned….."

Ash raises an eyebrow glancing at Dean with interest, "You know that fine thing?"

Dean averted his eyes from the girl in black to Ash a devilish glint in his eyes, "Oh you can say I know her very well, in the biblical sense if you know what I mean."

Dean strode across the room quickly closing the distance between himself and the pool table. He stood there for a moment admiring his view of the girl in front of him before clearing his voice, "Well, well, well Lexi Brennan it's been a long time." Dean smirked at the petite blonde in front of him. "Are you hustling these nice men?"

Lexi turned around smiling at Dean leaning against the pool table while counting the money she had just won, "Useless talent number 72."

Dean leaned in close to Lexi whispering lasciviously in her ear his lips brushing against her ear lobe, "You don't have any useless talents, they were all very useful if I remember right."

She shook her head slightly laughing, "Always with the innuendos Dean, so you wanna shoot some pool? We could make it interesting."

"That's ok Lexi I like my money right where it is." Dean patted his pocket looking smugly at Lexi, "So I hear you've been looking for me?"

"Yeah….."

"So you've found me, what's so important Lexi that you couldn't tell me on the phone?"

"Not here Dean. Can we go somewhere a little more private?"

"Private, uh?" Dean smirked at Lexi his eyes admiring every inch and curve of her body remembering the last time his hands traced those curves, "I can do private."

"You haven't changed at all, have you Dean?"

"No not really."

"Let me buy you something to eat then, cheeseburger extra onions right?"

"Ah girl after my own heart." Dean laughed covering his heart with his right hand.

Lexi smiled putting her hand over Dean's staring up at him wide eyed and faked innocence, "I though I already had your heart."

Dean stared back at her his gaze unwavering the tone of his voice now serious, "You do, always have, always will." He gently lifted the long black cloth rope around her neck that held the protection charm, hidden beneath her top that he had given her long ago to prove to her and himself that what he just stated was true, "That's why you still wear this."

"Maybe," she whispered raising an eyebrow, "or maybe I just need protection."

Dean entwined his fingers with hers leading her over to an empty table away from the noise of the jukebox and the pool table. He pulled the chair out for her motioning for Lexi to sit. Once she was seated he sat across from her staring intently while rubbing his chin, "Is that why you came looking for me?"

"Well, I can use a drink before we get into this….." she stated quietly playing with the charm around her neck.

In a few moments the table was crowded with two cheeseburgers, one with extra onions, chili fries and two already emptied glasses of beer. Dean reached across the table for the pitcher of beer refilling his and Lexi's glasses, "So what's going on Lex?"

"Well," she started slowly, "this is going to sound…..weird."

"Weird? This is me you're talking to; weirdness is part of my job." Dean stated his interest peeked.

"It started a year ago, right after you took off to find your father……" Lexi pushed her plate away looking up to meet Dean's shocked eyes, "I started getting….."

"Migraines." Dean finished for her, "You're getting visions, right? It all started when you turned 22."

Lexi nodded her head shocked, "How do you know?"

"Sammy too, there's others as well but you don't fit the profile, your mom's still alive."

"No Dean, I was adopted when I was about 6 months old. I don't know anything about my birth parents. All I know Dean is some yellow eyed man started showing up in my dreams telling me he had big plans for me."

"You're adopted?" Dean asked shocked leaning back against his chair, "You never told me that!"

"Dean that's not important now, that's not why I came looking for you."

"Why did you then?"

Lexi's voice was soft and thick with emotion when she spoke, "I had to warn you. I saw…I saw you die. At first I thought the visions were just dreams but when they started coming true….and then my last vision of you….." she looked up at Dean the wetness in her eyes glimmering in the dim bar light, "I can't let you die now can I Dean Winchester? And I think I'm being followed by another hunter…."

"Lexi," Dean stated seriously taking her hand in his, "you don't have to worry about me, ok. But I'm not going to let anyone or anything hurt you. I can protect you."

Lexi nodded her head, "Yeah, I know you will but promise me you'll be careful."

"Hey, I'm always careful, you know that." Dean stood up placing a few bills on the table, "Let's get you outta here, we need to get you some place safe."

"Oh, I will follow you anytime, anywhere. Oh, when they come for you, just say you don't care."
