In the Impala…
Dean was still half asleep slumped over in the passenger seat after having a seizure the other night and not being able to sleep it off. "What's in Seattle?"
Dean pretended he didn't hear him and hoped Sammy would just drop it, but he wasn't having such luck… "Dean, what's in Seattle?"
"Space needle, some high rise buildings…."
"Dean…" Sam said a warning edge to his voice.
Dean sighed… "Nothing, absolutely nothing."
"Then why don't you want to go back there?"
"Forget it Sam."
"Is there a girl there? Someone you left behind? A one- night stand gone sour? Somebody waiting to kick your ass?"
Dean sighed, realizing that Sam wasn't going to just drop it. Sam saw this as Dean just about ready to crack. "Is it a girl, is she waiting to kick your ass?"
"You could say that."
"Who was she?"
"My breeding partner." Dean said just to pay Sam back for prying, he just didn't think Sam would take it out on his car.
"What!" And then he slammed on the breaks so fast that Dean was thrown forward almost hitting the windshield.
"Sammy, not the Impala. Out! Out! I'm not letting you drive anymore!" Sam got out and Dean traded places with him.
"What do you mean your breeding partner?" They had gotten back out on the road again.
"Manticore gave me orders to get her pregnant. They were orders I had to follow them. They had just captured her again when she tried to take Manticore down."
"What happened?"
"Well….it didn't exactly work out. When I told her our orders she kicked me across the room and said that is the only physical kind of physical contact we were ever going to have. She wasn't the following orders type I guess. Eventually she got out. I had orders to help her escape to make sure that the virus they put in her killed her lover. Eyes Only. That didn't work out as planned either. He didn't die and then she went and put out a broadcast about Manticore so Manticore destroyed the evidence. Max went and let everyone out. Anyways long story short. She went into heat and we hooked up. I knew she'd be mad when she woke up, but an X- 5 female in heat is hard to resist. Dad showed up before she woke up and I went with him to escape the wrath of Max."
"You just left!"
"Well, dad needed me."
"Again, I repeat. You just left!"
"I left a note."
"Dean!"
"If we meet up with any of them, it's Alec, okay?"
"Where the hell did that come from?"
"Max, when we first met. After smart- aleck."
"She called that one."
The rest of the trip went by in silence; Sam wondering why his brother would do something like that and Dean wondering what Max would do to him.
