Sadly I do not own Supernatural, but I do own Kat.

Lawrence, Kansas

It's around early fall and the boys are there to due to coordinates given to them from their father. Sam is sitting in the Impala patiently waiting for Dean who is in a story getting some food and other necessities. Sam in researching a series of events of people disappearing in a town not too far from Kansas. They will be handing towards that job right after they meet whoever they were sent here to meet.

"It has to Missouri" Sam said out loud.

He had been trying so hard to concentrate but just couldn't get his mind off of who they were waiting to meet. Then Sam heard a loud rev of a motorcycle and glanced in the review mirror just as he saw a dark bike with a tint of green on it quickly approaching the Impala. The rider had a helmet and was in tight fitting jeans with a black leather jacket.

"I hope Dean doesn't see her and think of her as his next conquest" Sam thought to himself with a little smirk. Just then he saw the rider pull to the side and come right up to the car. Just at this point Dean happened to glance out the window of the store in time to see a motorcycle gently bump into his precious baby of a car. It angered him a lot that this idiot would even touch his car but he was in line and hoped Sam would find the right thing to do!

"What the" Sam said loudly as he began to open the car door. The rider had their back to him and was slowly taking off their helmet.

"What the hell did you do that for," Sam asked in a voice just about to yell.

Then he saw the helmet was off and long, silky, straight black hair flowed against the back of female that had just hit his brother's car.

"Since when did you care so much about cars," a familiar voice asked him as she turned around with a cocky smile on her face.

"Kat," Sam asked.

She ran over and gave Sam a big hug and replied, "Long time now see Sam. I can't believe you stopped sending me e-mails, and you didn't even call."

Sam- "I figured you were busy on jobs"

Kat- "Yeah that too but it's been to long. I can't believe how much you've grown in four years! College looks like it treated you well."

Sam-"Yeah, but I'm not the only that has changed. What happened to the red hair?"

Kat- "Got sick of it. Felt like a change was needed. Pretty much right after John and Dean left me."

Sam- "Well it looks good and so do you!"

Kat- "So, you're here with Dean. I'm guessing. Since I was told that I was gonna be helping both of your sorry asses out."

Sam- "Pretty much. And believe me it's going to be extremely nice to have someone to talk to about school related stuff and things other than killing things and girls."

Kat and Sam embrace in another hug as she says, "It's great to be with you too again Sammy. I'm so sorry that I wasn't there when it all happened. I'm so sorry."

Dean came out of the store more angry than ever! "What the hell did you do to my car?"

Then he noticed Sam and the driver of the motorcycle hugging. "Sammy, you aren't suppose to hook up with someone that runs into my baby! What are you thinking? And would you stop, we have to get a move on! This is no time for "fun" and girls!"

"And since when has the "ever charming" Dean Winchester not had time for girls," Kat asked rather sarcastically.

Deans mouth dropped about to answer when he realized that the person knew his name and had an extremely familiar voice. Then he saw her face and instantly went back to the dreams he had right after Sam left for college. The ones of the girl that he had known since she was born on a ceiling burning just the same as his mother had. They weren't exactly dreams but strong senses and he could feel everything as he had that very night that he carried Sam out the front door. He couldn't stand the thought of anything happening to someone close to him again just because they were with him and his family. She had grown up with them, her own parents were killed in a fire that afterwards, John had thought was the same thing that had gotten Mary. The Winchester's had taken her in a she grew up beside the boys. Dean had taught her how to fight, picked on her, threaten anyone that picked on her, protected her from boys, and he even had gotten strong feelings for her. She was more than just a one-night stand conquest, she was perfect for him. Their relationship hadn't really been much more than flirting and sometimes a little more, but he still just couldn't let a woman that he cared about, that he loved, die because of him. Then he remembered as he and John left that night after he had told his father what he sensed. Just up an leaving her hoping that it would protect her and it killed him to not call her or answer her and now, she was back and he just couldn't believe what this could mean.

"Well are you just gonna stand there or say one of your witty comments," Kat asked him as he stared at her in amazement.

Dean- "Kat?"

Kat- "Fine if that's all then…"

Dean- interrupting her "What are you doing here? And if you even put the tiniest mark on my car…"

Kat- "I'm here to meet up with you guys and help you out. Now come over here so we can get this little reunion over with and get to work. And believe me I think you're "poor baby" is just fine!"

Dean first walked past the back of the car and carefully inspected it and then walked over to Sam and Kat and just when he got close enough to her, Kat reached out and slapped Dean as hard as she could.

Dean- "What the hell was that for?"

Kat- "That was for leaving four years ago with a simple little note."

Sam was seeing the tension building and had known what had happened from Kat's point of view but had never gotten the rest of the story from Dean and had figured that his brother was hiding something. He also realized that if he didn't step in now, all hell would break lose between the two.

Sam- "Hey guys, can we save this for later?"

The two looked at Sam and nodded. Then they began to walk over to a little café and took seats so that they could talk about everything that had just happened and the job that needed to be done.

Dean- "Okay, so what do we have this time?"

Kat- "Well, there are many people killing ones close to them and then committing suicide. Yeah, I know it doesn't sound like our type of thing but…"

Sam- "All of them are happening around the same cabin and it always happens the same way. The people come to stay at the cabin for a vacation and then one of them starts to act strange and begins expressing really uncharacteristically mad at the ones close to them."

Dean- "So all we really have is this cabin? Well I guess that's at least a place to start. Let's go!"

They all headed over to where the Impala was parked and Sam climbed in but Dean just stood holding the door open and looking at Kat.

Dean- "Are you sure you wanna ride that?"

Kat- "I think that I am perfectly capable of handing myself. You lost the right to worry about me a long time ago." and with that Kat put on her helmet and turned her back to Dean.

Kat's comment had really gotten to Dean. Even Sam noticed how hurt his brother had looked. All Dean could do was slam the door in hurt and frustration and start the car. Then with Kat following, Dean pulled the car out and they were well on their way to their destination.
