Sam talks to Chuck's fans...
Drabble set a few days before Sam's jump in the season 5 finale.
Sam agrees to a press conference.
Just perhaps what might have been going through his mind...
"How you gonna control Lucifer when you can't even control yourself?"
Sam takes a long hard look round the room. The fans – Chuck's fans - have fallen silent, watching, and waiting.
"That's what Bobby said to me."
He continues, determined but resigned.
"But maybe that's the point.
Maybe that's what I was born for, after all.
Maybe my anger could actually work this time. At last, something worthwhile can come of it.
Something sure has to.
And its not about redemption. Or atonement. Too late for the things I've done.
A place in heaven? That's never gonna work. You guys know it even better than me, right? And I wouldn't want it!
There's only one place for me, where I'll be out of Dean's life for good, and getting what I deserve.
Somewhere I can't hurt anyone, ever again.
You all know where I'm coming from.
Wanna know how I get that?
'Cos, in one way or another, you've been here with me."
Sam stares at his audience, and this time they are indeed his audience.
He leans forward, and the fans, a little intimidated by now, lean back.
"Make no mistake. You are me."
He heaves a breath, head down cast.
"What happens to me is not what's important."
One last, sad stare and the young Winchester walks away without looking back.
Chuck smiles and nods to himself.
Chuck knows something Sam doesn't.
It's a week later that the news spreads.
The apocalypse is over, the devil defeated and struck down.
Or so it seems...
I was on call when I came up with this, that's a good sigh the lunacy of Skags is back.
(30 hour without sleep does this to me)
Make of this what you will.
Love ST xxx
