I know AU, especially supernatural stuff, isn't everybody's thing so if you give this a chance, thank you. This is my baby :)


"Come on Jay, let's go."

Jay looked up at his mother from he was sitting on the floor playing withe the velco on his shoes. He sighed and stood up, following behind his mom as she pushed his little brother Josh in a stroller.

"Mommy when are we gonna go home?"

Carol looked down at her son and sighed- they had only been at the mall for thirty minutes and she still needed to get both of her sons new shoes and jackets. She was patient though, pushing the stroller, shopping bags hanging from one wrist.

"Just two more stores, we need to find you a jacket and then try on some shoes. Then we''ll be done."

Jay made a little disappointed noise, looking around as they walked out of the department store, there were so many things he wanted to look at and touch but he was stuck. He trudged along a few steps behind the stroller, stopping as they walked by the toy store- he could see a display of wrestling toys right in the front by the walking flipping puppies. He looked from his mom to the store and back again before running to it, stopping in front of the display of toys to see if he could get one. Macho Man, Jake the Snake Roberts, Ultimate Warrior... He moved boxes of rubber action figures out of the way, checking what was in the back. Hulk Hogan! He grabbed the box excitedly and ran to the front of the store to get his Mom.

"Mommy?" Jay stopped and looked around frantically. She wasn't over by the other stores and he couldn't see her or the stroller anywhere. He started to panic, he thought he saw her but it wasn't, and more and more people kept walking by. Clutching the toy close to his chest he sniffled, backing up into the store and into something hard.

"Are you lost?" Jay spun around, shocked that he had bumped into something and that someone was talking to him. He found himself staring into faded jeans and a bullet belt, and he looked up to see that it was the man from the grocery store. Jay swallowed the lump in his throat, looking up into the man's green eyes.

He leaned over, putting his hands on his knees and looked at Jay, "Are you lost Jay?" his long blonde hair fell into his face, and he brushed it back behind his ear. Jay just stared back, his clear blue eyes a little wet and didn't say anything.

"What, are you not supposed to talk to strangers?" The man asked, smiling a little. Jay nodded at him and he laughed.

"Well that's good advice." He paused, looking around the store before turning back to Jay, "So you don't have to say anything. Do you know where your Mommy went?" Jay shrugged his shoulders.

"Here," He held out his hand and Jay looked at it, and then looked up into his face. "I can take you to your Mommy." Jay thought about it for a second, sniffing and putting down his toy.

"My name's Adam." He said, watching as Jay put one of his little hands over his. He stood up and smiled as Jay held his index finger as they walked out of the toy store.

Jay tried to look for his Mom as they walked, but there were so many people, Moms and Dads and kids, all kinds of people carrying huge shopping bags that he couldn't really see around. He looked at Adam as he walked next to him- he was so tall, and he was wearing a tight black t-shirt and looking forward. He could probably see above everyone and find his Mom really easily. Adam looked down at him and smiled and Jay turned away quickly, looking in the opposite direction, making him laugh. They kept walking and when he was sure Adam wasn't looking, Jay looked at his hand that was cold but not unpleasantly so, up his arm and to his face.

"That's your Mom right there, right?" Jay stared at him for a second before looking in the direction he was motioning towards with his other hand- sure enough there was his Mom, in front of the information kiosk talking to a man. The stroller was next to her, with a blue balloon tied to it and Jay quickly let go of Adam's hand and ran over to him.

"Yes, blonde hair, blue eyes, about 3 and a half feet tall..." Jay stood next to his Mom as she talked, looking up at her.

"Like that?" The man that worked the kiosk pointed down at him, and his Mom looked baffled.

"Jay! Where were you? When did you-" Jay turned around to point at who had helped him but he was gone. He looked around at all the shops, at all the people walking but there was no sign of Adam anywhere. His mother sighed and rubbed her temples as she watched him.

"Jay don't you ever run away like that again..." Jay nodded at what his mom was saying, one hand on the leg of her pants as he looked off into the crowd of people.


Later that night, Jay was laying in bed smashing two of his action figures into each other when he heard a soft tapping noise. He jumped a little, startled- it was dark in his room except for the light from the moon and stars shining through his window. His Mom had just tucked him into bed, and he looked around, pulling the blankets off of him. He heard another tap noise, and it wasn't coming from the door so he looked to the window and gasped.

There was Adam, sitting on the small ledge outside his window tapping on the glass with a small box... a box that he'd been holding earlier that day. Jay ran over to the window leaning forward to unlock it and push it open it open as high as he could. The autumn air was cold on his skin so he rubbed his arms, backing up a little.

"What are you doing here?" Jay asked as Adam slid his legs through the window, opening it the rest of the way and coming into his room. He was a little shocked as Adam looked around his room, mostly because his bedroom was on the second floor. It had no screen though because he and John had broken it playing baseball indoors.

"I thought you weren't supposed to talk to strangers?" Adam asked, smiling.

"Yeah but I know you now, you helped me find my Mom." Jay looked at him and down at the toy in his hands, and then back up at his face, giving Adam his best innocent expression.

"Is this what you wanted?" Adam asked, kneeling down and holding it out to him. Jay nodded, reaching a hand out to grab it but Adam held onto it. "You can have it if you promise me you won't wander off like that again. You promise?"

Jay looked at him, his eyes wide and innocent, "I promise." Adam smiled at him and let go, and Jay clutched the toy to his chest and grinned. Jay sat on the floor and tore into the box, ripping at the top and pulling out the plastic but stopped suddenly, looking up at Adam.

"Who are you?"

Adam looked down at Jay, moving to sit on the floor with him as he thought about how to answer him. "Well, like I said, my name is Adam." He ran a hand through his hair and waited for Jay's response.

"I know your name is Adam, you told me that already," Jay rolled his eyes and Adam tried not to laugh, "Why do you follow me around? I've seen you before."

"It's a little hard for me to explain," Adam picked up the empty box in front of Jay and looked at the back of it, "but you can think of me as your guardian angel."

Jay stared at Adam for a minute in disbelief, "What? That kind of stuff isn't real! Is it?" Jay's eyes were wide, not sure what to believe.

"Well I always help you out don't I?" Adam smiled at him.

"Yeah..." Jay thought about it for a second, scrunching his nose. "So do you follow me all the time then?"

"No, I can't follow you all the time, only at night. But I'll always be there when you need me." Adam answered, putting the box down in front of him. Jay looked down at it and then back up into Adam's face, studying him.

"Soo... do other kids have guardian angels?"

"No." Adam looked away, laughing a little. "You're special."

"Why?" Jay asked Adam his favorite question, but his eyelids were starting to feel heavy and he wiped at them with the sleeve of his pajama top.

"Are you getting tired? It is late."

Jay nodded, and Adam smiled, ruffling his hair. "Why don't you get to bed then? We'll see each other again."

Jay looked at his new toy and then at his bed before standing and looking at Adam.

"Alright I'm going to go, close the window behind me okay? Don't catch a cold." He turned to leave, sitting on the ledge of the window.

"Okay," Jay said walking up to him and put his hands on the glass, watching it fog up around his fingers, "Is all of that stuff you said really true?" His voice was tired but still a little skeptical.

Adam looked at Jay, his green eyes serious, "Jay, I will never lie to you. Remember that." Jay nodded, a little taken aback by Adam's sudden seriousness, but relaxed when Adam smiled at him. "See you later Jay."

Jay watched, amazed as Adam slipped down off the windowsill, landing on his feet. He stared in shock, mouth open as Adam turned and waved to him before walking away and disappearing down the dark street. Jay waved back even though Adam had already left, before pulling his window closed and climbing back into bed.

He left it unlocked in case Adam wanted to come back.
