-Lebanon, Kansas-
Sam tended to Misty's burn wound. He gently removed the old gauze, revealing a fresh burn scar. Misty began to feel self-conscious because of it.
"Dean's gone..." Misty said, her voice cracking. "He wouldn't have let Michael do this."
Sam fell silent as Misty said this.
"Michael isn't like Dean..." He finally said. "Michael shares Dean's body, but not his morals."
"Dean was a good man." Misty said. "He would go to the ends of the earth for you... and Michael knew that."
"Yeah..." Sam responded. "Dean was a pawn to him... When Lucifer possessed me, Dean made a deal with Michael so he could stop the Apocalypse without killing me. When Dean succeeded, that was when Michael went back on the deal."
Sam gently pulled Misty into a hug and stroked her head to soothe her. Misty allowed, even reciprocated the hug. After what Michael did to her, she needed the comfort. Her tears began to soak Sam's utility jacket.
"When you've healed, we need to get some help to deal with Michael." Sam said. "We can't face him by ourselves."
"Where's Castiel…?" Misty asked. "And Jack...?"
"I don't know, but we can look for them." Sam replied.
Sam rested his chin atop of her head and contemplated how he would find Cas and Jack.
