Three Men, an Angel and a ...Teenager!
Chapter 1
Fall 2034
Mary Winchester sat on her bed, surveying the chaos that was her bedroom, a mountain of clothes, books and jewellery littering every surface. She was packing for college, and every item seemed like it was essential to her continued survival. This room had been her haven for the last eighteen years and now she was leaving it behind, off to Stanford University following in the footsteps of her Uncle Sam. Sighing she stood up and began to rummage through her life, catching sight of her reflection in the mirror she paused to stare for a moment, intense blue eyes meeting intense blue eyes across the distance well Mary this is it, your last night in Sioux Falls she thought sadly, oh she knew that she would be coming home for holidays and weekends, and that she could simply flit in if she got home sick but she had sworn to herself that she wouldn't be flitting anywhere simply to cure a bout of homesickness. The whole point of leaving to go to school was so that she could grow up and learn to be independent.
"Mary, you all packed?" her mom called from downstairs, her voice quavering slightly.
"Getting there mom." her soft Irish brogue prominent as she called back, she knew her mom was upset; hell her whole family had made their displeasure known when she had decided that she wanted to leave, it was like she had committed some huge crime. She lived in a family of hunters, hunters who had saved the world, died and been resurrected. Her family wasn't exactly normal, she wasn't exactly normal herself, part angel, part human she could go anywhere with just a thought, move things with her mind and kick ass with the best of the hunters, but she wanted to try normal for a while, to see if life outside the hunting world had anything to offer her.
"Hey kiddo."
Turning towards the sound of the voice, a frown on her face "Uncle Gabe, haven't I told you not to just drop in anymore. I'm a little old for that don't you think? I could have been naked!" she said sharply, before smiling and making her way through the rubble that was her room to hug her uncle.
His grin fell off of his face for a moment before he laughed and said "I checked in with your mom and she said that you were finishing up your packing" looking around the disaster zone before continuing "but I see you have a ways to go."
"Nope all done." She said, and then with a wave of her hand order was restored to her room and in the centre stood her luggage packed and ready to go.
"Neat trick kiddo. You do realise that you won't be able to do that at Stanford. I think some of the normals might notice."
Laughing now, she said "Sure I know, that's why you're putting a block on my powers, but I've not left yet. Gotta make the most of the time I have left before I pack them away for the next few years"
"You sure you want to do that kiddo, it'll leave you vulnerable to every weirdo and monster out there?"
"I'm sure; I'll be like every other normal human girl out there." She had decided that if she was going away to try normal, then normal she would be, so with the exception of teleporting, which she would only use in emergencies, her powers were being locked away "besides, I'm sure that they'll be a few guardian angels out there looking out for me."
"What can I say, your family worries about you, that includes me kiddo." He said with a smile "Okay, I'd better go before I start to cry like a two year old."
"You not staying, I think mom made a cake?" Mary asked with a frown, as she felt tears begin to well in her eyes "I think this is going to be harder than I thought."
Wrapping his arms around his tiny niece, the Archangel said "You can do this kiddo. I'll be back in the morning to shelve your powers. See ya!" Before flitting away and leaving her standing in the middle of the room with only her luggage.
"Mary Winchester get your ass down here now!"
Oh my Father, what have I done now? She thought as she rushed out of her room and down the stairs, her Uncle Dean sounded pissed and when he sounded pissed she moved her ass.
"Yo, Uncle Dean. What's up?" she asked as she reached the bottom of the stairs; stopping as she got to the bottom and found her family all standing at the foot of the stairs. Her dad stood with his arm around her moms shoulders; she looked as though she had been crying. Raising an eyebrow at her Uncle Gabe who she had just seen and who had said he was leaving before turning her full attention to the one who had hollered up the stairs.
"You bellowed, DeeDee" she said with a grin, not missing the unmistakable twitch of his mouth that indicated he was about to laugh.
"You were taking just too damn long and I have a present for you." He said, as he pulled her into a hug and ruffled up her short black hair.
"A present? Does that mean you've forgiven me for going away?"
"Juries out on that one Mary, just make sure you come back regularly or I'll need to get your dad to zap us down there to check up on you." He replied with a grin, his green eyes sparkled with mischief as he continued "Come on we need to take the party outside."
Placing a hand over her eyes, he carefully guided her through the house and out onto the porch, then down the steps into the yard "Hold out your hand." He whispered quietly into her ear.
Holding out her hand; she felt him place something cool and metallic into her palm "Come on DeeDee, the suspense is killing me"
"Okay, open your eyes" he said as he took his hand away and stepped back.
Opening her eyes she looked down into her palm and then back at her uncle "this is the Impala key Uncle Dee?" she said, confused.
Blinking owlishly, Mary continued to stare at her uncle, comprehension suddenly dawning "You're giving me the Impala?" she asked quietly, not quite believing her eyes as she turned to look at the pristine black car sitting in the yard "You're giving me the Impala !" she squealed and threw herself into his arms.
"Can't have my favourite baby girl go off to normal without my other baby to look after her now could I?"
"I love you DeeDee, I'll look after her I promise."
"You'd better Mary, or you may get that spanking that I always threatened to give your mom." He said good naturedly, there was nothing he wouldn't do for his favourite niece and since she loved the Impala almost as much as he did, well what was a guy to do?
"Okay everyone there's cake inside"
"Aw mom, I want to take the Impala for a spin" Mary begged, as she ogled the car, her car, her baby.
"There'll be plenty of time for that tomorrow Mary doll" her mom said as she guided everyone back inside.
Mary turned and looked at her mom, never failing to be amazed at how beautiful she was, how young she still looked. It could be a bit weird at times trying to explain why your mom didn't look much older than you, but that was her life, just a bit weird. She may have been going off to college, but it wasn't to escape as her Uncle Sam had once done, she loved her family with every fibre of her being. She was blessed to have a family who loved her as they did. She just wanted to experience another part of life which meant leaving her family for a time.
Walking over to her mom, she wrapped her in a huge hug and said "I'm going to miss you so much."
"I'm going to miss you too baby." She said as she returned her hug. They stood like that for a few minutes neither wanting to break the moment.
"Haley, Mary come inside, everyone is waiting for cake."
Stepping out of her moms arms; Mary rushed to her dad and threw her arms around him "Daddy, I love you."
"and I you, my precious child" her dad said squeezing gently.
Pulling out of his arms, she looked into eyes identical to her own "I'm gonna miss you too daddy, but no snooping. Don't let DeeDee persuade you that you just have to check up on me. Okay?"
Nodding, but not committing completely to the promise. She knew that was the best she was going to get "Okay daddy, lets go have cake."
"Cas, Hales you'd better get in here before Dean devours the cake." Sam shouted from the porch, grinning as he turned away and walked back into the house.
They spent the next few hours eating cake and sharing stories of Mary's childhood, they spoke of many happy memories and the house was filled with love and laughter. Mary thought of her Uncle Bobby, who had passed away a few years before, the gruff old hunter who adored her, and whom she adored, he would have been pleased that she was going to make a life for herself.
After saying goodnight to everyone she made her way upstairs to her room for one final night, before leaving on her adventure in the morning.
Standing in the middle of her room, looking around savouring every memory; she suddenly had a sensation of being pulled, tugged as if she was going to teleport. She sank to her knees as she concentrated on staying in her room, her mind constantly thinking home the word she used when she always wanted to return to her family, it didn't matter where they were, if she thought of home she would find them.
She could hear the frantic call of her mom and dad as they appeared suddenly in her room "Mary" her dad called anxiously as he reached out towards her.
Stretching out a hand as she continued to concentrate, her mind frantically calling home, as the pull on her body increased in strength "Daddy! What's happening?" her last words, before she felt herself pulled completely from her room and into the darkness.
xxOOxx
"I can't see jack" Dean growled in disgust as he walked down the stairs Castiel in front of him, Sam bringing up the rear, the flashlight in his hands illuminating only a small portion of the stairwell in front of him.
Suddenly Castiel disappeared in a flash of white light.
"Cas!" he called frantically as he looked around for signs of the angel.
"Dean" Sam said as he noticed his grandfather standing at the bottom of the stairway, his hand covered in blood an enochian banishing sigil painted on the wall.
Dean turned in the direction that Sam had indicated turning his flashlight onto the wall noticing his grandfather for the first time "You sold us out." He shouted, anger radiating off of him as they were grabbed from behind by two demons.
Groaning as he tried to break the hold of the demon he said "Damn you Samuel."
"Yes, and I have to say best purchase I've made since Dick Cheney" Crowley said smugly as he walked around the corner to stand in front of Samuel.
"Hiya Crowely, how's tricks?" Dean said still struggling with the demon behind him.
Crowley's response was interrupted as a blinding white light flashed through the room; Dean closed his eyes against the light, he knew that Cas had been banished and it was too soon for him to get back, it had to be something else. As soon as the light faded he opened his eyes and found himself staring into the brilliant blue eyes of a teenage girl, her short black hair making her eerily familiar, he just couldn't place her. There was a steady stream of blood flowing from her nose and she looked unsteady on her feet as she looked around, a dazed expression on her face.
She looked up at him, confused "DeeDee?" she asked softly, with a twang of an Irish accent.
"Sorry doll, who's DeeDee?"
He watched as she shook her head and wiped the blood from her nose with the back of her hand. She suddenly dropped her hand and turned to Crowley and growled "Crowley?"
"Sorry babe, do I know you?" the demon asked with a smirk "Gotta say you're giving off some funky readings, can't quite figure out what you are?" then turning to the demons at his side "Take her, she might be able to help our cause."
"Take me...oh I don't think so." The young girl said with a smirk as she raised a hand and threw the two demons into the wall, then turned to Crowley and said "night night" before placing her hand on his forehead and saying a few words in Enochian banished him from his meat suit, the body falling to the ground.
Turning to the demons on the stairs, she grinned, her blue eyes glinting dangerously as she said "You'd better run." The demons, seeing that Crowley had been banished let go of the Winchester brothers and ran back up the stairs, disappearing from sight in an instant.
Dean walked slowly down the stairs towards the young woman, he was fairly sure that she belonged to Cas's club, but she looked dazed, confused and he didn't want to take a chance on her smiting his ass. He raised his hands as he got closer to the young woman indicating that he wouldn't hurt her.
"Do you have a name sweetheart?"
"Yeah, I do." She replied as she watched them move cautiously down the stairs. Not elaborating she looked around and asked "where are we and why is this place crawling with monsters?"
"Long story." Dean answered as he came to a stop in front of the young woman "Any chance that you could zap us out of here?"
She stared at him intently and he was once again struck by a sense of recognition, her head tilted slighted in confusion "Zap you out of here, but you don't like to fly angel air."
"What the..how the freaking hell do you know that?"
"Long story." She countered with a wide grin, the confusion clearing from her face. She moved to stand in front of the brothers and placed a hand on each of their arms. Turning towards the older man she asked "What about him?"
"He stays." Dean growled as he looked at his grandfather "The next time you see me, I'll be there to kill you."
In the next instant they appeared outside of the building standing next to the Impala, Dean let out a happy "Hi baby, miss me." as he lovingly stroked his car.
"Excuse me?"
Turning back to the young woman Dean said "Thanks, you really got us out of a tight spot."
"What date is this?" she asked quietly, her voice trembling.
"November 12 2011" he answered.
Her eyes widened as she looked from Dean to Sam "No, no, no this isn't right." She said her voice rising in panic "You're supposed to be at Bobby's with my mom not off fighting Crowley."
"What was that sweetheart?" Dean asked with a frown, as he struggled to comprehend what she said.
Raising her eyes to meet his she said "I need to see Castiel..." then turning to look at Sam, her gaze seeming to peer into the very depths of his being "and where the hell is his soul?"
