Sitting the back seat of a black '67 Impala was the newest Winchester, and he was leaving behind the only life he ever knew.
Windom flew by as he and his new brothers drove out of the town. After Dean found Adam still alive in the crypt and they went back to save Sam, they said it was not safe to stay alone; especially with no training. So now behind him was the only home and life he had ever known and he had to leave right after burying the only family he ever care about.
"Adam how are you holding up?" Sam was the one to openly accept Adam and wanted him to know he was not alone in one of the hardest times of his life.
"I'm fine." Though he did apprecitate it Adam was definitely not in the in the mood for small chat and even though it was Dean's word that was final, a fact they made very clear from the beginning, Sam could have at least helped convinced Dean to let Adam go back to school. As nice as it was to know he had brothers what Adam needed right now was some normalcy.
Speaking of Dean, he pretty much avoided Adam like he was some bad reminder of all the secrets his father had kept hidden from the all of them. Adam's existence only made Dean think of how little he really knew his father.
Adam was just glad that the rest of the ride was spent in silence until they reached a new town. As they pull into the motel it finally set in that this was really his life now. The only benefit being that his brothers promised to train him on all things supernatural.
"I'll go check us in you and the kid grab our stuff." Dean tossed Sam the keys before walking away.
Adam grabbed his backpack and duffel bag in silence and him and Sam waited by the car. Sam stood nearby, looking awkward as he tried to start a conversation.
"Look I know it may not seem fair right now but we only want to keep you safe." Adam looked up and gave Sam an annoyed look before quickly replying.
"Sam I get it. I may not like it but I understand why you guys are doing it." Even though he did understand it was taking all his will power not to bolt. It was hard to live with and listen to a pair of strangers.
After getting the room and setting up for however long this case would take, Sam decided to give Adam another lesson on how to kill certain things that go bump in the night. When all of a sudden Dean bursts in the room with a newspaper in hand.
"So get this, three guys were found with their hearts missing downtown. That could only mean one thing." Dean almost sounded excited; knowing him he probably was.
"Werewolf."
"Right and we already know how to handle these sons of bitches." He pulled out a small case with several rows of silver bullets.
"A werewolf? Cool. Can I come with?" As much as he wanted his old life back Adam wasn't going to say no to a cool adventure. At least it was a ways to distract himself from his current misery.
"No." Dean didn't even think about it.
"Adam you're just not ready yet." Sam tried a more considerate approach, he knew that Adam just wanted to get to know more about his family and what they did.
"But I know I can help if only a little."
"Listen kid you're not going and that's that." Dean turned to glare at his youngest brother which Adam had no problem returning.
"We are going to handle this and you are going to stay in this room. Is that understood?"
"This isn't the military. You can't just order me around.
"You're right, this is a Marine family and as the youngest you will follow every order Sam or I give you. So you will stay here and you can be pissed all night inside this room." Dean growled, grabbed the keys, and left the room. Sam gave Adam a sympathetic glance before following Dean out to the car.
Adam stood there feeling infuriated as he listened to the rumble of the Impala drive away. How was he suppose to learn and gain experience if they didn;t want him to help on a simple case? He may be knew to this kind of life but he wasn't useless. But of course that stubborn hard head that Winchester's seem to possess lead him to the idea of wanting to prove just that to his brothers, so he grabbed his coat.
