When Cas placed his hand on Dean's forehead, he had no idea what to expect.

So when he was transported to the Convent, it took him a second to get his bearings.

That's when he saw them...saw him. Saw Sam. And that bitch next to him, Ruby. Anger surged through him as she turned and smirked at him. He opened his mouth to yell out Sam's name but was cut off when Ruby flung her hand at the door, shutting it closed.

And that's when he heard it. Sam was speaking to Lilith so low he had to strain to hear it. And that's when he ran to the door, screaming Sam's name over and over.

No! No it can't end like this! I can't let this happen! Dean's mind screamed as he banged on the door, continuing his yells of his brother's name, feeling the tears beginning to well in his eyes.

Their lives together flashed through his brain as his voice grew hoarse with yelling.

A new born baby being put into his arms, his parents smiling at him as he swore he'd protect his baby brother forever.

Smirking as Sammy beat Dad in a sparring lesson.

Grinning as Sam graduated grammar school and high school.

Comforting his brother after the death of his girlfriend and agreeing to find dad together.

Standing at their father's grave, swearing to keep going, to continue the 'family business.'

Sammy dieing in his arms in the rain, holding him close and swearing to doing whatever the hell it took to bring him back.

Both of them laughing and singing in the car on his final day.

Sam crying and holding him as he died in his arms, making good on his deal to go to hell.

Coming back from Hell, hugging each other closely and thanking whatever god there was out there that they were together again.

Seeing Sammy drinking the demon blood, and wishing more than anything it was just a dream.

"You're a monster" "You walk out that door, don't you ever come back!"

"We're brothers, we're family. No matter how bad it gets, that doesn't change. Sammy I'm sorry."

Dean couldn't lose his brother to the dark side, not after everything they had been through. It didn't matter to him what Sam had been doing, he was his brother. He had to save him.

"SAMMY!" He screamed again.

Then he heard it. The screams inside stopped and a faint whisper, it was so quiet he had no idea if it was even real, but it gave him hope that his little brother, his Sammy was still there.

"Dean...?"

"Sammy, As long as I'm around, nothing bad will happen to you."

"You're my big brother, there's nothing I wouldn't do for you."

"You're my weak spot, you are. And I'm yours."

"If it's the last thing I do, I'm gonna save you."
