Supernatural Season 12.
Chapter 2.
"Mom?" Dean was frozen by the sight of his mother standing in front of him. She looked just like she had when she kissed him goodnight for the last time.
"I... I" Mary stammered "I .. Know you?" It sounded more like a question.
Mary stared at Dean and Dean just stood there, staring back at her.
"I.. Remember?.. Something.. You.. Nineteen Seventy-Three?"
"And Nineteen Seventy-Eight.."
"Right.. You and that other one.. The really tall one.. Time Travel, right?"
"Yeah."
"You.. You and that other one.."
"We're your sons." Dean confirmed as he watched the realization of the truth dawning on Mary's face.
"Dean?".. Mary asked with a tilt of her head in recognition as tears began to shimmer at the brim of her eyes.
"Yeah." Dean answered as tears began to sting at his eyes until a shimmer formed in them that mirrored those of his mother's equally green eyes. "Yeah, mom.. It's me."
"Oh.. Oh my god." Mary rushed forward and gathered her son into a nearly sufforcating embrace like she was trying to absorb every single moment of her son's life that she's missed over the years.
They held each other, crying tears of happiness. And for a moment everything in Dean's life was perfect.
"Just wait till Sam..".. Dean cut himself off.
Sam.. He had almost forgotten about the fact that Sam and Cass probably thinks he's dead right now.. Hopefully Cass could keep his little brother from.. From doing anything.. Drastic.. or Desperate.. For however long it was going to take him and his mom.. Holy crap.. His mom!.. To get home.. Home!.. He could imagine the happily surprised smile on Sam's face as he saw Dean alive.. Then that smile would morph into a look of shock and awe.. And then.. then the smile Sam would give, it would be brighter than the Sun, as he laid eyes on their mom and realized that she was back..
Needless to say, Dean was excited and he couldn't wait to get his mom Home to The Bunker so that they could include Sam in their happy little reunion.
And then that moment of perfection was shattered in an instant.
"Dean?".. Mary asked with a tilt of her head in recognition as tears began to shimmer in her eyes.
"Yeah." Dean answered as tears began to sting at his eyes until a shimmer formed in them that mirrored those of his mother's equally green and teary eyes. "Yeah, mom.. It's me."..
"Oh.. Oh my god." Mary rushed forward and gathered her oldest son into a nearly suffocating embrace like she was trying to absorb every single moment of her son's life that she's missed over the years.. She knows that she's missed much in Dean's life.
They held each other, crying tears of happiness. And for a moment everything in Dean's life was perfect.
"Just wait till Sam..".. Dean cut himself off.
Sam.. He has almost forgotten about the fact that Sam and Cass probably thought he was dead right about now.. Hopefully Cass could keep his little brother from.. From doing anything.. Drastic.. Or Desperate.. For however long it was going to take him and his mom.. Holy crap.. His mom! To get home.. Home!.. He could imagine the happily surprised smile on Sam's face as he saw Dean alive.. Then that smile would morph into a look of shock and awe.. And.. Then.. Then the smile Sam would give, it would be brighter than the Sun, as he laid eyes on their mom and realized she was back..
Needless to say, Dean was excited and he couldn't wait to get his mom Home to The Bunker so that they could include Sam in their happy little reunion.
And then that moment of perfection became shattered in an instant..
The Bunker had been stripped completely bare aside from three things that were left. An Angel Banishing Sigil, an empty shell casing that smelled of faint gunpowder and a congealed pool of blood.. All of it was evidence that something had gone horribly wrong.
Dean didn't know if Rowena and/or Crowley has decided to stab Cass and Sam in the backs and take everything from The Bunker (and if so.. Why BANISH Cass and SHOOT Sam when one was a Witch and the other was a Demon and could easily use their mojo to hurt them?) .. Or if this all has to do with something else entirely.
All Dean knew was that Rowena and Crowley were the last ones to see Cass and Sam and he was going to get some answers about what they knew (if anything) about what had happened to his friend and brother.
Neither Crowley or Rowena had known anything their bloody screams as Dean and his mom had tortured the truth out of them had arrested to that.
It left Dean and Mary back at Square One..
The Angel Banishing Sigil on the wall, the congealed pool of blood on the floor, the used shell that smelled faintly of gunpowder, the barren Bunker that was stripped of everything except those three things.. All evidence pointing to something going horribly wrong... And with evidence of Cass having been Banished while Heaven supposedly still had its doors boarded up it was reasonable to think that Cass was gone.. Just .. Gone.. And wouldn't be able to come back this time so Dean knew that there wouldn't be any help coming from that angle.. And chuck and Amara.. Were away and probably wouldn't be listening even if he were to try to pray to either of them.. So Dean doubted that he'd.. That.. THEY'D get any help from that angle either..
That was three months, several dead end leads, just as many wild goose chases that lead all over the globe and hunreds of just-in-case-someone-anyone-was-listening-prayers ago.
Three months and every Continent, (don't even ask about how they got to Antartica), searched.. all that time had passed and every search had proven futile and had turned up absolutely nothing.. Dean had no idea where Sam was, how to get him back.. or if Sam was even still alive.. And after three months of no sign of Sam and no answered prayers, both Dean and Mary were beginning to loose hope that there would still be anything left of Sam to find.. And with the assumption Cass couldn't come back and that Chuck and Amara were too busy with "their family meeting" to listen for or answer prayers, both Dean and Mary were beginning to grow weary of a search that turned up nothing but more to be depressed over.. Both Dean and Mary were so very close to giving up the search for Sam, altogether...
