Author's Notes: I see this being set in Season 6 after Sam's gotten his soul back, but it could really happen anytime in Season 5 or 6. Sam's a little overly calm in this which is why I see it after Sam gets his soul back. What's physical pain in the face of that? But it could be due to his trust in Dean, so whatever.
Summary: He always had Dean and Dean will always come for him. Hurt!Sammy

"He's not coming for you."
Sam huffed, tried to lift his head up to look at the guard. His breath hitched as the gashes along his shoulders and on his trapped wrists reopened. He knew his shoulders were out of joint from being suspended for so long. But the human's voice was calm and measured when he spoke.
"I trust my brother to come through. If not now, in the long run. He'll make it right. I believe in him."
The demon? Angel? Sam wasn't really sure anymore, guarding him regarded him coldly.
"You talk about him as if he was god." The last word was spat out with a kind of disgust that came from personal hurt. Angel, then.
Sam's lips twitched upward.
"Mother is god in the eyes of a child. I never had a mother. But I always had Dean."
The certainty in his words seemed to get to the angel and Sam saw the first wave of unease settle over his features.
In the distance, an enormously loud crash sounded and the first shots were barely heard over the screams and Sam smiled.
"Sammy!"
His brother was here.
