Mother Stands for Comfort
"She knows that I've been doing something wrong" – 'Mother Stands for Comfort', Kate Bush
Dean eased back into his throne of twisted flesh and bone. It cried out in anguish as he shifted position.
Awesome, he thought.
A shadowy figure strode into the throne room, gradually resolving into a young woman in a plain white shift. That's new, Dean thought, sitting up in interest.
The woman gave a brief incline of her head, before slowly clapping. "What a monster you are!" she declared.
"That's what Crowley said… before I took his head," Dean growled, all too ready to take offense. He gestured to the prostrate demons that filled the room. "And what they thought when I wiped out one in every ten of their number."
The woman laughed. "You misunderstand; I meant it only as a compliment, my son."
She moved closer. Pausing for permission, and wary of the blade he carried, she reached out and laid a hesitant hand over the mark on his arm.
"You might be the King of Hell, but this proclaims you my first beast," she said with a small, but proud smile. "Welcome to the family." Her appearance shimmered and changed to one that Dean had long missed.
His black eyes glistened. "Mom," Dean sighed, home at last.
