A/N - Hi! This is my first Supernatural story so please be nice!
I've had this idea floating around in my head for a while now and I figured other people might like it too! So this is the first chapter. I'm already working on chapter 2 and I really don't know how long it's gonna be. So I hope you like this story!
Spoiler Alert! Story takes place after season 12 (yes I do know the finale is tonight and this will be completely inaccurate to how it ends) for the sake of this story Mary never went BMOL robot and she will be in later chapters. As will Cas, Crowley and possible others.
Disclaimer: If I owned this show, that last episode wouldn't have happened. All rights to Kripke and CW.
*cell phone rings*
Sam walked into the library of the bunker grabbing the phone off the desk, he didn't even check to see if it was his or who was calling. Very few people even had their numbers now, most of them were dead. He hoped it was Jodi with an update on how many American hunters were left.
"Hello" he answered.
"Um… is Dean there…?" a very timid female voice responded. "
He gave me this number and-"
"Who's this?" Dean said grabbing the phone from Sam. Whatever the girl said, Sam didn't hear but Dean visibly paled, then blushed, then turned away from Sam.
"Shhh… calm down… what happened?" Dean asked in a hushed tone, one Sam only heard when he was seriously injured and had never heard used on someone else.
Dean rubbed his hand down his face and his voice cracked as he continued to try and calm down the girl on the line.
"Okay, okay… Please don't have a breakdown on the phone… I can be there by tomorrow if I drive all night… Yes I am… No it's not a bother… I know its been a really long time… Yeah me too… Okay then it's settled, I'll see you tomorrow night" Dean finally hung up the phone.
"Where are we going? Who was that, an old hunting buddy?" Sam asked casually, moving stuff around on the table.
"We aren't going anywhere. You are gonna wait to hear back from Jodi and Claire. I'm going to help out an old friend. You don't know her" Dean said simply while headed towards his room.
"Well how long are you gonna be gone? Where does she live? Why can't I go?" Sam questioned while following him.
"And don't say 'because I said so' because that's not an answer"
"I don't know, few days, maybe longer. Northern California and it's really sensitive" Dean answered without looking back at Sam.
"You know I'll follow you anyways right? So you might as well let me come." Sam retorted.
"Fine!" Dean said loudly whirling around in his doorway "you can come. Don't say I never did anything for you bitch" Dean said walking into his room and slamming the door.
"Never said that jerk" Sam yelled while walking away smiling. He had some packing to do.
"So…" Sam started receiving a glare from Dean, he continued anyway. "This mystery friend, that I somehow don't know, lives in northern California. Can you be more specific?"
"Fine. it's a small town on the coast by Sacramento. Happy?" Dean said, exasperated. They'd been driving, stopping only for gas and snacks, for nine hours straight. He just wanted to get there, to see her. But he couldn't think about it because Sam won't shut up.
"Dean. Are you even listening? You have given me next to nothing to go on here and I've been racking my brain for nine hours trying to figure out how you know some random girl that you are willing to drive across the country at the drop of a hat for. What the hell is going on?" Sam exclaimed, clearly annoyed at the whole situation.
"If you didn't why to come, then why did you insist on coming?!" Dean yelled.
"That is so not what I'm saying dude. I just want to know who this random chick is"
"She is not some 'random chick', Samuel"
"What?!" Sam sputtered incredulously.
"She isn't random, and she isn't a chick. Her name is Natalia, we met 15 years ago and I told her if anything ever 'happened' to call me. Okay?" Dean said quietly. He was acting weird, from angry to having this far off look on his face in a matter of seconds. Sam was still trying to figure it out.
*14 hours later*
The Impala rolled into a small town at dusk. Sam could smell the ocean. He hadn't realized how much he missed that smell in the last 12 years. All he could think of were fond memories of Jess and "normalcy".
Dean had been switching between happy and nervous for the last hour of the drive. As they arrived in town he decided he was nervous. It's been 13 years since he last she Natalia. How has she changed? How has he changed? He was about to find out.
"Yo Sammy! Look alive!" he yelled enthusiastically, startling Sam out of his daze. Sam looked out the window and saw they were parked in front of a two story home. It had a huge wooden front porch with a few rocking chairs and a swing. The door was painted red, which stood out against the blue paneling.
"Where is here exactly?" Sam asked, slightly confused.
"This is Natalia's aunt's house. Well… I guess it's Nat's house now" Dean mentioned the last part much quieter, leaving Sam to wonder what was going on.
"Well, lets go say hi" Dean said getting out of the car. It was now that Sam actually noticed his brothers appearance. He had ditched his leather jacket in the back seat, opting for just a plain T-shirt. It looked like he had combed his hair, and… was that… colonge?
Dean was already on the porch by the time Sam caught up with him. Just in time for Dean to ring the bell. A 5"7' brunette woman answered to door. She was beautiful but it looked like she had been crying. She lit up as soon as she saw Dean. They looked at each other for a second before he hugged her whispering how sorry he was for what happened. Sam was more confused than he was before.
*Sam clears throat*
"Um Nat…" Dean said pulling away but keeping his arm around her shoulders.
"This is Sam"
"So you're the famous Sam WInchester I've heard so much about. I'm Natalia" she said smiling. She stuck out her hand and Sam shook it tentatively.
"Sorry I can't say the same about you" Sam said looking at Dean. Who just glared back until Nat looked up at him. He looked almost, embarrassed.
"Where are my manners? Come in! I have a rooms set up for you two" She said leading them into the house.
"But how did you know I was coming?" Sam inquired.
"Dean called me on the way here." She said simply. She lead them through a living room and up a flight of stairs. She pointed out the bathrooms, and then showed them their rooms. Sam was vaguely aware that Dean seemed to already know where everything was, and that he was also holding Natalia's hand the whole time. Sam opted to not think too much about it and thanked her for her hospitality. Dean went into his room across the hall and closed the door. Sam had no clue where Natalia disappeared to.
As he looked around the room he noticed a picture on the nightstand. It was of a young Dean and Natalia. She was smiling at the camera and he was kissing her cheek. On the glass, written in Dean's chicken scratch with a silver sharpie it said "You are my sunshine on cloudy days. I'll always love you. XOXO Dean"
Sam was left wondering who this girl was and what the hell didn't he know about his brother.
