Autumn pulled the Mustang into the parking place furthest from the rest of the cars in the lot. The last thing she wanted was some boy in daddy's old Toyota hitting her baby. Athena was bouncing, practically bursting in the passenger's seat, they had news. Dean circled the car to meet her, having already parked the Impala; she smiled at him answering all the questions he wouldn't dare ask. Athena cleared her throat leaning into Sam and in a stage whisper asking, "How long until they remember they're not alone out here?"
"Squirt, I'm going to tell your news," Autumn threatened her sister, breaking her eye contact with Dean.
"Yes, what is this 'news'?" Dean asked his hand finding the small of Autumn's back and leading them all toward the truck stop diner.
"Darcy called a while ago," Athena grinned. "That lead she was chasing down, she's got it."
"What does she know?" Sam asked not trying to hide the urgency in his voice. His lack of tact made the little ole man who seated them give him a quizzical look that the group over looked.
"Easy, Sammy, she didn't just hand me jewels over the phone. We're going to meet her, she's got a big furry friend for us to find," Athena said slowly as if talking to a small child.
"Big furry friend in what way?" Dean queried, as Autumn had already been filled in and Sam was too busy trying to turn Athena into a puddle by glaring at her.
"Don't know," Autumn shrugged, "Valover likes to be a little vague. But she was sweet enough to tell us she's headed for 'babma."
"That's three days behind us," he groaned.
"Three days verse possibly finding and stopping the demon…hmmm I'll lose three days driving how about you, Autters?" Athena teased.
"You did not just call me 'Autters', that's not happening." Autumn said with a half hearted glower over her menu.
"No, it totally is!" Athena pulled out her phone typing a quick txt and reading it off to the table, "Willy, Autumn is now to be called Autters, Much Love Teenie" She made a point of showing Autumn that she hit send. The same elderly man who'd seated them came and took their orders, and he and a young raven haired boy, who eyed Sam, brought there food out half hour later.
"We stopping for the night before heading backwards?" Dean asked hopefully when Autumn started playing with his ring under the table.
"No," Sam answered too quickly, he obviously hadn't forgotten an incident a few weeks back concerning thin walls, the death of a head board, Autumn, and Dean. Since, he'd kept them moving too much for any recreational sports.
"You're no fun, Sam-man," Autumn pouted.
"Darcy has a hunt for us; we can't just sit around what if she tries to handle it and gets hurt?" Sam asked, he and Darcy had bonded a little on their last hunt and since he and Athena have been joined on all matters Darcy.
"Yea, how would that make you" Autumn jumped before Athena had time to finish her question. She quickly pulled her vibrating cell from her pocket and dropped it on the table, the group leaned forward to see who was txting her. "Its Will," Athena smiled happily taking the phone and opening it. She suppressed a giggle before handing it over to her sister.
"Hello Autters! Glad to read you and Tee are getting along 3 Will" Autumn read aloud. "I hate you, Athena Rhea, I want you to know that." Athena stuck her tongue out at the elder Daemon.
"You may hate me, but you can't live without me either."
"For this," Dean pointed at the phone, "we're stopping for the night." Sam and Athena groaned, and Autumn avoided looking at them, knowing she'd blush at the obvious intentions of her significant other.
Darcy jumped out of the Volkswagen the moment the familiar engines announced the arrivals of her friends. They were right outside Alabama; meeting up here before going into the hunt would be easier. Darcy could brief them on the hunt and they'd work out the destine to be a pain in the ass, pecking order. It was no secret that Autumn didn't fully trust her, and Dean had it burned in his brain that he was leader of all packs, neither one had been warm to her their first meeting. She grinned happily as the four neared her, throwing a knowing smile in Teenie's direction. She folded her arms over her chest and leant heavily on her car, raising an eyebrow as they came into talking distance.
"What took you guys so long? Wait… don't answer that."
She exchanged a small glare with Autumn before she turned away from them and rifled through the backseat of her car, tossing out some of her clothes to get to her journal. She opened it up and passed it to Dean, pointing out the latest article to be glued onto the pages. Dean quickly glanced through the article before he handed it down the line, shoving his hands in his pockets as soon as the book left them.
"So you think Bigfoot is having a bit of fun with the locals?" Darcy gave a small snigger and then flicked some of her hair back, taking her journal once the group had finished scanning the article.
"Sure, if you could call that fun. Right, before we get any further I thought I should say this now. Dean, you're an ass." Dean frowned at Darcy and then shared a look with Autumn. Darcy rolled her eyes as she scanned the thoughts bubbling off their minds and looked over to the younger two. Teenie watched her older sister and then grinned.
"Yeah, but he's Autty's ass and..."
"TEENIE, I totally did not need to know that!"
Darcy gave Athena a small glare and focused on something other than the rapid amount of thoughts streaming through their heads. Sometimes it was so hard being a telepath. Sam gave her a sympathetic look and pointed back to the journal.
"So, Bigfoot?" She shook her head again in resignation and cleared her throat.
"Yeah, anyway… couple of people dead, a few more missing. Authorities out to scour the woods clean of any type of carnivore. Honestly, people really irritate me sometimes.' She pointed back over her shoulder and jerked her thumb 'last known sighting of it was that-a-way, although someone was taken over yonder last night." She waved her hand over to her right. The hunter's exchanged looks before Dean sighed and spoke up.
"So you think there's more than one?"
"No Dean, I think it's just one with MPD."
Sam snorted and then looked away as Autumn and Dean threw him a glare. Autumn folded her arms and raised an eyebrow, leaning into Dean as she did so. She didn't trust Darcy; there was something about her besides her being telepathic that creeped her out. Also the fact that she was part shape-shifter and was therefore part something she hunted didn't help to settle the blaring sirens going off.
"Cut the sarcasm Valover. We should split up, talk to people. Have there been any survivors?"
Darcy nodded her head as she tossed her journal back into the car. Autumn watched her warily and tapped her foot as the woman turned back to face them.
"Yeah, there's been a few. One of them was there when they found one of the bodies. Some guy called Marty… Smackles."
"Right, how about a motel?"
Some motel
Darcy dropped her bag to the ground heavily, a familiar metallic thud echoing through the room. She turned around slightly to the side, eying the other bed in the room and then turning to the other hunters that had collected into her place. She dropped onto the bed and bounced slightly until it settled down.
"So, who's going where?"
Sam and Teenie replied almost instantly together. "We're not sharing with Autumn 'n' Dean." Dean grinned at Autumn and slid his hand onto her waist, whispering something into her ear. The two elder's grinned.
"Well, have fun figuring out the sleeping arrangements. Dean and I are going to figure out a plan." They watched them walk out before Darcy turned to the others and spoke softly.
"What are the chances the plan involves both of them without clothes?"
"Pretty high. So, how are we gonna share this room?"
Athena took a spot on the bed next to Darcy and folded her legs, looking at the rather awkward man in front of them. Darcy jumped off the bed, shoving Sam lightly out of the way before she moved the other queen sized bed into the other one and then jumped onto it. She flopped onto her belly and shrugged.
"Sam can sleep in the middle, that way me and Teenie don't fall into the crack."
Dean opened the door to the second room, grinning as Autumn slid into the room before him. He watched as he dropped her duffel onto the ground and turned around to face him. He slid his arms around her waist and gently kissed the tip of her nose, earning him a small giggle. Autumn coiled her arms around his neck and leant her head onto her shoulder.
"So about this plan. Do we have to do it now, or can it wait?"
Dean didn't even pause before he answered her. "Oh, it can defiantly wait."
Autumn and Dean were gone for the rest of the day, and the girls sent him out to pick up dinner that evening. When he'd returned they were sitting on the bed amongst newspaper clippings, their journals, and what he was pretty sure to be a People Magazine, though Athena hid it too quickly to be sure. They kept shooting each other glances while eating. Darcy had found a nice, cozy, horror film for them to watch, and Sam was glad because it relived some of the anxiety he had foolishly built up over Darcy's Mega-Bed. Somewhere between the monster's first attack and the pretty little virgin crying to the cops at the end he'd drifted off to sleep.
Sam woke slowly, something he'd only gotten to do a few dozen times in his life. As he roused he became aware of the heavy weight on his chest and the two warm bodies pressed against his sides. He tried not to stir them as he pulled himself lose enough to see who he was laying under. A mix of blonde and brunette locks lay under his nose, and clinging to his shirt was a thin, pale hand. As lay, unable to move, under the pressing weight of the two women his heart rate slowed back down to normal as last night played back over in his mind. He found his right arm was free to moved and he stroke the side of Athena's face, her eyelids fluttered and then blue eyes revealed themselves with a soft smile, as she looked up at him.
"Do you think you could get off?" he asked her watching confusion filter over her face.
"Uh, yea," she rolled over.
"You two think too loud," Darcy yawned patting Sam's chest before pushing herself up and kneeling in the bed looking at her two bed buddies. "Teenie, you snore did you know that?" the blonde threw her pillow at the younger woman hitting her in the face. Darcy launched herself across Sam to tackle Athena and the two tumbled to the floor laughing.
"Ladies there's plenty of Sam for the both of you," Sam teased causing the duo to stop mid-tickle fight and stare at him.
"That's it, Samuel Winchester, you are not longer spending time with your brother. You're starting to act like him!" Darcy scolded.
"And where is he supposed to live Dar?" Athena asked flopping back on the ground and staring at the ceiling tiles.
"Sammy can always come stay with me, it gets a little lonely on the wide open road, sometimes," Darcy pouted.
"Did we forget I'm still in the room?" Sam asked crawling out of bed and stretching his arms toward the ceiling.
"How could we forget you Jolly Green?" Teenie teased jumping up and grabbing her duffle. "I call first shower!"
Darcy grinned as she watched the elder girl run into the bathroom.
"Good, cos you really smell."
"Real mature Dar!"
