A Different Time and Place

My beta was Matchmaker131, she rules, and as always I own nothing, read and review, hope you enjoy.

Dean had just finished up a hunt and was looking for a new one, but he wanted to actually live somewhere for a while. Dean hunted paranormal beings for a living. It was a job he inherited from his father because of the way his mother died. His mother had died when he was four and his father had passed on the year before. He would now have to raise his twin siblings on his own. Sam and Jack were seventeen and seniors in high school while Dean was twenty two and had seen more than his share of life.

Bobby Singer had helped for the last year by allowing Dean to have the time he needed to gather himself and heal from the family's lost. Dean had hunted for almost a year by himself. It would be rough but it was time to move forward. Bobby was a family friend who had been more than happy to help the young Winchesters out in their time of need. Bobby was the closest thing they had to an actual father since John, their real father, wasn't around they were with him. After his father's death Dean had needed to get away and for while left Sam and Jack with Bobby.

Now, Dean wanted to take care of his siblings on his own. Sam was the older by six hours. Jack was a girl but was named for an ancestor so the masculine name couldn't be helped. Sam and Jack fought all the time, but Dean really wanted to give them a stable environment for a while. Dean had to smile at that thought, he didn't remember the the last time they had a normal environment or how their lives would work out with him teaching. He had to give it a try, anything to get his mind off everything that had happened over the last year. He had to raise his siblings so he needed a real job even though his dad would have been pissed athim for even considering a nine to five gig.

Even though John had hated it to the point he'd threatened to kick Dean out but never did go through with that threat, Dean attended college for while. He'd graduated from a college program and received his teaching certificate. He could officially teach in a school setting and he'd also gotten his license. Of course his last name wasn't Winchester on any of them but it was close enough for what he needed currently. He had it in six states, Missouri being the first one. Dean could also legally work on cars; he'd helped Bobby over the years.

Dean sat in his '67 Chevy Impala waiting to go inside. He'd just rented a house. The automotive teacher before him had moved away also so he'd been able to take his lease over. Sam and Jack were coming with Bobby in two days. Bobby told him he'd bring them since Dean had arrived earlier for staff meetings and orientation. He got out the car and walked inside tossing his bags down on the floor before he smiled.

Well dad, you always said mom wanted me to do what I felt I needed to do, he said to himself knowing his dad was probably listening, and his mom, I'll do this for while, he said with a sigh.
-------

Sam and Jack arrived with Bobby the next day. Jack was still going through a lot with their dad dying because she'd been their when it had happened and was always the closest to him. She had withdrawn into herself again after the death. When Dean tried to get her to do things when he'd visit, which had been about twice a month, she had no interest. He'd hated being away but he had needed that time alone.

--

"Hey, thanks for bringing them," Dean said when Bobby came in the door.

"I'll warn you Jack is not talking again," Bobby said as he sat down after he walked in the kitchen to grab a beer.

"I know, Sam called me last night and told me," Dean said, "I know she's not like us, damn her and dad always got a long, even the times I thought dad was wrong on something she'd take his side every time," Dean said remembering that with a smile.

"Dean," Sam said from the living room.

"Be right back," Dean said getting up to see what Sam wanted.

"Jack just ran outside," Sam said.

Dean knew his sister had been trying to runaway for the longest time, they had to keep an eye on her, but he really thought Sam was making a bigger deal than he was about it. He went out the front door to find Jack sitting on the hood the car.

"You okay?" he asked sitting beside her.

"I can't do this," she said, "I know I'm over doing this, but Dean…"

"I know, you always followed him around, and I'm sorry," Dean said.

"I'll be fine, I just want to be left alone," Jack said.

She loved her brother but him and Sam would never understand what it was like to be a daddy's girl. Maybe someday they would have daughters and hopefully they would treat them special.

"Promise me that you will not run away," Dean said, "and then I can leave you alone."

"Okay, I promise you I will not runaway now can you leave me for a while, please?"

Dean agreed before he gave her another hug knowing she was the one that had to have the most hugs. "I'll be in the house," he said before he went back inside.

"She going to run away again isn't she?" Sam asked him

"No, and leave her alone for while," Dean said, "You can go upstairs to your room, it's on the left third down from mine."

"Fine," Sam said before going upstairs.

He was glad that Dean had decided to try to put them in somewhat of a normal situation for a change.

Bobby looked at him seeing if he was okay. "I'll be fine," Dean said knowing the look, "Few weeks everything will be okay."

Bobby hoped Dean was right about his prediction. He admired the young man for wanting to be with his siblings. It was a lot to take on for anyone though Bobby thought.

"I'd love to stick round but I got few things to do," Bobby said as he put his empty bottle on the counter.

"I know, and I promise to call if I need help," Dean said.

Bobby said okay and even though Dean didn't like hugs he grabbed the younger man in to one, "Don't hesitate to make the call if you need me." Dean nodded at him before he went out the door.

Monday morning

Dean had gotten most the material he needed for his classes ready. Seeing as how he needed the text books which had just arrived he figured he had better label them as auto departments property. He didn't have a fourth period class so he decided to do it then. He sat in his office waiting for the bell to ring. The administrator of the building was supposed to introduce him, but he opted to do it himself.

Sam and Jack attended their first classes. Dean had told them if they didn't like it he'd home school them like Bobby had done. Dean heard the bell ring and got ready for his first class that was second year students. They would be in his class all year so he hoped they liked him. He'd found out that his third period class was third year student. First year students would only be there for first semester and they were in his second class, he had lunch and the fourth period free. He just wanted the first day to be over with already and he had seven half more hours to go.

--

The students came in and sat down, the first class was all guys, he just hoped that none of them tried to tell him how to run things. He was intent on doing things his way. When the second bell rang he came out the office and sat on the stool putting the roll behind him.

"Hi, I'm guessing as most you know Mr. Kasey retired last year, I'm Dean Winslow your new teacher."

The guys looked at him and only one said something, "Um no offense here, but aren't you little young?"

Dean laughed, "Thanks, and in a way maybe but I started young, I got my Masters in teaching from college in South Dakota, and got my automotive license and certification three years ago," Dean said with a smile.

The students all wanted to hear about it too. "Let me take the roll and I'll tell you all about it, if you tell me something about yourselves too," Dean said with a happy smile. Things were going good, he was almost excited about the day.

They all agreed and that was how Dean's first class went. The guys enjoyed the stories and told their own. The time seemed to fly by then class over.

"Well, tomorrow I will try to give you the materials so you can get the safely test out the way and start working in the garage area." Dean told them before he let them leave. The next class went the same, except it had one female. Dean told the stories again. That was what they did the whole class, he got to know them and he told them some things about him. Dean liked it, but was glad when the lunch period got there. Sam and Jack met him in the class room and they ate lunch together it was a tradition when they were together.

"I can't believe this is your classroom," Sam said as he looked around the teaching area.

"Not all mine, it is the schools," Dean said.

"You know what he means," Jack said with a small smile.

Dean sat beside her letting her have some his lunch. "Like I said if you don't like it I'll home school you."

"It's cool," Jack said, "I think I can get used to it.

"Well let's see what happens with all of us," Dean said as they continued to eat, "I got another class, but you two want to help me unpack boxes later this afternoon?"

"I'll help," Jack said almost eagerly.

"Yeah, me too," Sam said, "That reminds me, I looked in the library their reference section sucks."

Dean laughed, Sam was going to be a scholar he needed to make sure Sam got into a good college. He hoped he would get a scholarship because on his salary it would not happen otherwise.

"You both should know, I'm taking time off from hunting. I won't do it unless it's a holiday or something," Dean told them as he grabbed one Jack's fries.

"Hey," she yelled out making a face as Dean grinned at her.

"Possession is nine tenths of the law," Dean said before they broke out into laughter.

--

About that time they had a visitor walk in the door. She was slim and slight with brownish black hair that was straight at the moment. Her eyes matched her skin, but her skin was little lighter. He was attracted to her right away though he knew she was a student. He hoped he was wrong about the assumption because he was a teacher and couldn't do a damn thing about it.

"Hi, I'm looking for the automotive teacher; I think his name is Mr. Kasey?" she asked

"Um, he retired last May, I took over his classes," Dean said standing up, "don't let the young look fool you, I'm legal," he joked.

"Hi, I'm Cassie Robinson I was supposed to be taking his class because I need another elective and everything else was full," Cassie said as she tried to casually look him up and down, but when he smiled back she knew he'd noticed what she'd done.
