Please rembmber that this is an AU crossover fic so I'm twisted somthing in the past of the charictors to make them fit, I've tryed to keep them convicing though.
Third stop on the Highway to Hell - Healing
John Winchester sat on the wall of an apartment block hidden from sight but waiting, it had been over 20 years and yet he was still afraid of him. Though thinking back John had a lot to be afraid of, twenty two years ago old 'Yellow eye's' as John called him had taken his wife from him.
That night had ruined everything for him, he's lost his wife, his youngest son grew up to hate him and Dean had made himself into the perfect soldier to please him.
But it all could have been avoided so easily, because only three year earlier John's half brother had the same problem and he'd seen it. John had been thrown out for an argument with his wife (he never did remember what about) and he ended up on his brothers couch for the night.
His brother and him had been close back then, close enough for John to call their father a sanctimonious prick for throwing his brother out because he was dating another man. His brother's boyfriend Evan was a good man and had a hell of a sense of humour to live around ether man. But that night changed everything between them, John remember waking up to the smell of smoke and fire before hearing his brothers yells.
When John found his brother it was too late 'old Yellow Eyes' had clamed the first of the Winchester victims, knowing there was nothing he could do for Evan John dragged his brother to safety and could only watch as the man his brother loved burned along with his home.
After that night Johns brother moved in with them while he recover, but it was then that most of the problem began unlike anyone else who drink themselves to death . He didn't he threw himself into book on the Occult and Demon rituals, teaching himself the Black Arts and any other form of Witchcraft him could until one day John came home and he was gone.
He left behind a note that simply read:
John
since I now know where I stand in your life, consider me dead to you. Don't come after me I know what I saw that night, and you do too. I know where to find it and how to deal with it, who knows maybe I'll see Evan sooner then we though?
Greg
Two weeks later 'Yellow Eyes' came for his family, John never blamed his brother for Mary's death. He blamed himself for that, for not standing by his brother when he clear knew what he was going on about. It was also his fault that after Mary's death John chose not to find his brother and help him but to go it alone and drag his sons into his mess.
Now 25 year later John wasn't surprised he was stood outside his brother home, in the shadows watching and smoking worse then he did in the Marines. When he hears the roar of a motorbikes engine sometime later John has to laugh to himself, he remembered in early years of their relationship how Greg loved his bike but hated John messing with it.
John was slightly surprised when he saw his brother walking with a cane and the other man who got off his brothers bike. He was younger then his brother, must have been by at least 10 year. Putting him closer to John's age then Greg's, John watched on but froze when his brother stopped.
'Even before I had me gifts you were lousy at hiding Jonny, how the hell you made it though the Marines I'll never know?'
came a voice in John's head, John sighed and came out of hiding as Greg turned to face him and smiled.
"It's been 25 years Jonny boy, what took you so long?" asked his brother with a growl.
"pride, stubbornness, Mary's death pick one there all just as bad" said John with a shrug as he looked the man next to his brother up and down.
"Jimmy my half wit half brother John Winchester, John my other half Dr James Wilson. I heard about Mary I'm sorry for you and the Boy's, you'd moved on when I final got back home" said Greg sincerely.
"couldn't stay put, it wasn't safe. I should have listened to you, it was old Yellow himself who came for Mary" said John as he watched Greg flinch and his lover grab him.
"Inside Jonny boy you got a tale to tell and I've got a bad leg and an answer to give" said Greg as the three of them entered the house.

It was sometime later that the Impala came to a stop on a normal road, the kind of road that normal people saw, the kind Dean and Sam hadn't see since childhood. Dean got out of the car and looked around until he came across what he was looking for, checking to see that Sam was still stood by the Impala and more importantly Xander Dean knocked on the door.
The door opened and a tall unshaven looking man opened the door, he held himself up on his cane and looked Dean up and down.
"You look too much like John to be Sam, not rugged enough to be John so you must be Dean since I've been told the kids out cold?" said the man coldly
"Yes sir" was the only answer Dean could give after all this guy scared his father.
"Get him in here now, he's in a lot of danger out in the open" said the man as Dean rushed to get Xander and Sam inside.
Xander was taken straight though to the only bedroom where he was laid out on the bed, Dean watched as the man and another joined him as they looked Xander over.
"Medically he's fine, though he's unconscious not in a coma. Mystically he's had a vision, a major one at that. Now normally these kinds of visions would blow out the back of a human skull, hence the 'only demons have these visions' rule so why isn't the kid dead?" asked the man.
"He said something about a Primal position, a Hyena or something?" said Sam unsurely.
"Strong but not strong enough, the sprit would have to be to deal with the visions. But since he has one po…."
"two the kid has at least two, hyena is one the other is military so I heard but he hasn't said what?" said Dean
"Still not strong enough but we'll ask him when he comes round, that will be soon once his body get used to this. That's why all your visions Sammy are while your sleeping" said the man as he patted Sam on the shoulder.
"How?" asked a stunned Sam
"I see all and know all Sammy after all I' am your uncle, plus I had a visitor earlier that straightened things out" said the man.
"Dad or the demon Belthazor?" asked Dean as the man looked confused.
"Dad it is then, guess he forgot to mention his new best friend, seems they know each other and Belthazor and a Whitelighter by the name of Leo…"
"I know him" said the man
"we don't well not yet, seems they've been playing happy family bringing the kid up before sending him to us. Dad tell you the rest cause it's a big one uncle Greg?" asked Dean as the man nodded.
"he should be coming round any minute, he can have the couch, you two can have the floor or share the couch in your case Dean? Oh yes your father had a few things to say about that but he said to tell you, if you cause the kid to go off the rails he's exorcising your ass to hell and back" laughed Greg as Sam and Dean lightened up.
"So dad approves?" asked Sam
"Yes he does, thinks they'd be good together, right I have a honey with great pain meds in the other room waiting for me, eat what you like, drink what you like, don't piss me off, Dr James Wilson is his name if your wondering and boys.."
"Yes uncle Greg?"
"Drop the uncle Greg shit, Greg here, House or Uncle House if you must in public though it would be fun to scare my Ducklings with that one. Greg Winchester died the day your father and I fell out, those bridges are long gone though new ones are under construction. I legaly changed it back to my mother name, now it's Dr Gregory House MD and don't you forget it boys" laughed House as he left them in the kitchen to bug Jimmy for his Vicodin.
"We need to talk little brother?" growled Dean when House was out of the room.
"How long?" Dean growled again
"Since the night before Jess was killed, I saw her die Dean" sighed Sam as he felt a weigh lift off his shoulders, though Sam knew how pissed Dean would be.
Sam was surprised then when Dean's hand landed on his shoulder, looking up he saw not anger but concern in Dean's eyes.
"we'll talk in the morning once Xander's awake, after tonight though I'm glad that your are in your sleep. If you ever go though what I saw at the bar today with Xander I'm find someone to bind then them I'll find their source and rip whoever a new one. No one should have to go though that much pain" growled Dean, Sam was about to answer him when they heard House yelling to them.
"If you two are done with the gay Opra moment the kids awake?" with that Dean bombed it out of the room followed by Sam.
They found both House and Wilson sat over Xander checking him out as he protested loudly.
"Hey cool it kid, after all the trouble it took getting you here your going to let them check you out" growled Dean as he without thinking took Xander's hand and held it tightly.
"and where exactly is here?" Xander croaked as Sam gave him some water
"New Jersey at our uncles place" said Dean
"yeah Dean broke ever speed law and then some to get you here" said Sam as Dean punched him.
"Why?" asked Xander.
"we'll save that for the morning" said Wilson as the interrupted.
"Xander I hate to ask this but do you think your up to moving? It's just House here's a bitch with a good night's sleep, but he's worse without one and his injury means he can't sleep on the couch" said Wilson with a smile.
"Yeah no problem I've slept in worse places, at least here's warm, dry and drug free for the most part" said Xander as House swallowed his Vicodin
"We'll talk to you about your parent's tomorrow kid" said Dean as Xander went to the bathroom.
"the human ones" he added when Xander was out of hearing range for him or the Hyena as Wilson, Sam and House looked at him.
"I looked him up, 32 child abuse claims in three years and no one followed them up" said Dean as all three men hissed at that.
"It was Sunnydale no one care" said Xander as he emerged from the bathroom with a yawn.
"Come on kid bedtime we can bitch about your lack of upbringing in the morning, night boys" said House as Wilson just shook his head.
"Night uncle House" said Dean and Sam sweetly just to piss House off.
Sam found the stuff that he gathered Wilson had left out for them, seeing as their uncle was an ass Sam set up the couch for Xander and Dean and the floor for himself. He smiled to himself as he heard the front door click, Sam sent up a silent prayer to whatever God or Goddess was looking out for Xander in the hopes he and Dean would sort out things between them.

Dean lent back against a wall and watched as Xander sat on a bench in front of him and stared up at the night sky, Xander sighed and spoke to Dean but his attention never left the sky.
"Before I met Buffy I never believed in any religion or the afterlife, to me when it was over it was over then end. But in three years I've learnt that just like life the Afterlife is just what you make it, whether your demon, Vampire, angel, half-breed or human the Afterlife is different for us all.
I saw what you saw Dean, that day at the bar. I saw what your Dad and Cole showed you, I really should pull my Da on his demon powers because his telepathy stuff sucks. I think every telepath for three miles felt that vision? But it does scare me Dean, I've had flash back's during my dreams or if I've come close to something I knew back then like you and Sam.
I had a flash back the first night in the back of the Impala, I only said it was a nightmare so you two wouldn't ask questions. Your uncles a Wicca isn't he? I feel the magic pouring off him." asked Xander with a sigh
"yeah sort of, the thing that killed our mom killed his lover years before mom. He went off the rail a bit and went dark, Hell dark but last we heard our other uncle still on dad's side found him and brought him back.
He'd given up hunting and become a doctor when old yellow. That's what dad calls the demon took a swipe at him and did that to his leg, though if you ask anyone they all think it was a sporting accident memory charms are good like that.
He's a Healer now, he use's his magic and other skills to heal now. Doesn't mean he doesn't hunt anymore, like dad he and old yellow eyes have got a score to settle" said Dean as he came and sat next to Xander, who started blushing again.
"anyone ever tell you your cute when you blush?" asked Dean as he lifted up Xander's chin so then came face to face.
Dean's heart was racing and so was Xander's as they just stayed there for what felt like forever, just starring into each other eyes then Dean moved forward capturing Xander's lips in a very heated kiss.
At first the kiss was genital as they boys tested there bounders with each other, but when Xander gave out a pleasured moan Dean got a little more aggressive as their tongues fought for dominance. But all too soon the need to breath intruded and the boys broke apart.
"Wow" panted Xander who'd kissed girls before but had never felt anything like that in his life.
"Yeah kid your not so bad yourself" laughed Dean as he put his arm round Xander.
"So were does this leave us Dean? I know you've seen what I could become? Hell you know more of my past then I do, would you really want to get involved with that?" asked Xander as he suddenly became very self-conscious.
"Listen kid I'll say this once and only once, I don't do mushy romance crap. I know what you could have been once, I see it and I don't know if that will happen again. But I do know that I like you kid as a friend, brother and much more, if you want to start this thing with me I fine with that? If not I'm cool with that too it would be nice to have a brother for once and not a sister" laughed Dean
"I'm telling Sammy about that" laughed Xander as Dean pulled him closer.
"What I want now though is to kiss you again if you'll let me? As for the other stuff like sex and our future we'll face that as it comes" said Dean as he looked at Xander.
"I'd like that, the kiss I mean not that the other stuff isn't important it is it's just……" Xander never finished what he was about to say because Dean silenced him with a kiss.
Neither of them saw House, Wilson or Sam watching from the window with smiles on their faces.
"It seams the kid just got himself one hell of a protector, lets see how the Power like that? Now Sammy my boy sleep and don't watch your brother all night, if you want me piss off I have the head of the Department of Oncology to make squeal like a girl. Which isn't really that hard with Wilson Night" laughed House as he left Sam shaking his head. Sam checked on Dean and Xander once more who were now talking and went to bed himself. Something told him that tomorrow was going to be a strange day.
