Hey I'm alive Here's the next chapter and its weird.
Sam squirmed as he saw the streets of his hometown. Glancing over, he saw Dean passed out in the passenger's had taken 12 hours for Sam to convince his brother to get some sleep. That, coupled with the fact that they had been up for 24 hours the day before, pretty much explained Dean's current state.
Adam was talking quietly with Cas and, from what Sam could hear, he was trying to figure out what kind of music the angel liked.
The Winchesters didn't have Missouri number so they were hoping that she still lived in town. As Sam parked the Impala in front of Missouri's shop, Dean started muttering in his sleep. His brother and best friend didn't think anything of it. Until Adam started shaking Dean's shoulder, "Come on bro wake up! It's just a nightmare. Time to get up Dean."
Dean slowly opened his eyes. He shook his head like a horse trying to rid himself of a fly. "The dream didn't really get that far this time. What happened?"
"Adam noticed that your where having a nightmare. Sam and I usually wait until you start screaming before we wake you up."
"Cute Cas." Dean jumped as someone knocked on the windo. Ruby laughed when she saw Dean's expression. "Aw what happened Deanny? Did I scare you?"
Sam shook his head as an indication for Ruby to leave. Ruby rolled her eyes and stalked towards the house.
"We probably should get over there before Ruby kicks the door down." Adam got out of the Impala, his head spinning and body swaying right before his body his ears, Adam could hear Dean yelling his name. But he didn't see his brothers.
Instead he saw a room, a bar. He saw that Dean and Sam where in the room. Both of them had bruises, and they looked a few years younger, and a lot less stressed, then they did now. Adam tried calling to them, but no matter how loudly he tried to yell no voice would come out. He couldn't move either. The Winchesters didn't seem to see Adam, Sam walked into a backroom leaving Dean. After a few seconds a girl slipped through the same door. She was around twenty-four, blond and petite. For some reason Adam felt like he somehow knew not saw that she was holding a rifle. She snuck up behind Dean. Adam tried yelling out as warning for his brother, but no words came out. The women cocked the gun and placed it against Dean's back.
"Oh God let that be a rifle," Dean said
"No, I'm just real happy to see you." The girl snapped quickly as it had come, the room faded leaving Adam with a blinding headache and everybody leaning over him.
"Adam, what the hell happened?" Dean demanded at the same time that Ben was begging his mom to do something.
"Um, head rush. I'm fine now," Adam lied. He had no clue why, but he knew Sam and Dean couldn't find out about what had just could tell no one bought it, but Ruby came to his rescue.
"Are we going to see the Ghost Whisper or not?" She asked Sam, Dean and Cas went to the house, Ben and Lisa following close. Ruby pulled Adam to his feet. "How's your head?"
Adam jumped "How did you know about that?"
Ruby snorted and gave him a look that meant it should be obvious. "I've never seen Sam get a vision, but I have seen him get major headaches after his abilities are used. I'm amazed Dean didn't spot it. Sam is at least understandable, he's never seen himself when his powers take over."
"So you're saying I have demon blood abilities?"
"Nah, you're not that lucky. Its most likely just angel mojo. Nowhere near as cool, but at least it's different."Before Adam could reply Ruby cut him off, "Come on we have a psychic to meet. You can tell me what you saw later."
Ruby practically pranced off and Adam was reminded of how Dean had said that Ruby wanted everyone to see her ass.
Rubbing his temples, Adam caught up with the others at the doors. Dean was being impatient and knocking every two seconds. Finally a woman opened the door. "Now looky here, Dean Winchester. Some of us don't appreciate being woken up by some bratty hunter. So there better be an emergency."
Dean shoved past her into the house. Missouri picked up an umbrella from where it lay by the door. She waited for Dean to turn his back before hitting him over the head with it. Dean grabbed his head yelling every cuss word he knew.
"Dean, I thought your father raised you better than to cuss in front of a ten year old and an angel." Missouri glared at Dean until he shut up "Now since. You're here at two in the morning; I believe it has to be something important. And who are your friends? The only one I know is the angel from visions I've had."
"I think I like her." Ruby commented. "Hey I'm Ruby." Ruby's eyes turned black.
"Ah, a demon. I'm surprised John lets his boys travel with one." Missouri looked at Adam "Well you must be Adam. John told me about you a long time ago. I thought he planned on keeping you away from hunting?"
"Why do you keep on talking like Dad's alive?" Adam asked
"Oh, I'm so sorry boys. Come in, I guess you have a lot to tell me."Missouri got them all settled in the living room. Dean and Sam started telling Missouri what had happened since the last time they had seen was shaking her head by the time they had finished. "So, the Colt is gone again."
"All that, and that's all you have to say?" Dean snapped grouchily he had left out Jo, but Dean still felt the pain as strongly as if he had just had another nightmare. Missouri pretended she hadn't heard his remark.
"Now Lisa, don't you think Dean deserves the truth?"
Lisa who hadn't said a word this whole time jumped. "How did…?"
"I can hear your thoughts child. And you have nothing to fear."
Lisa took a deep breath. "Ben go in the other room."
"But Mom!" Ben whined
"Come on Ben, I'll read you a bedtime story if you want?" Ruby offered. Ben nodded and took her hand.
As soon as they left Lisa asked Sam if Ruby wanted kids
."I don't know. Now stop dodging the subject. What do you have to tell my brother?"
Lisa didn't meet Dean's eyes "I lied to you. Ben is yours. I was going to tell you but after the changeling, I couldn't. I'm sorry Ben doesn't know."
Dean, for the first time in his life, didn't know what to say he looked at his friends. Sam looked smug. Adam looked like he might start cheering. That Dean expected, but not Cas's face. The angel was smiling almost as big as his brothers.
"This is great Dean. You should be proud.. Your son will make a great hunter one day. Especially with you family's genes. I promise you this Dean, if I survive this war I will be a closer and better friend to him then I have to you. Ben shall never be alone or without aid. That's if I survive of course."
"Wait a second Cas who said Ben will be a hunter? No, I'll do everything I can to keep him from this life." Dean yelled.
"Dean that's what Dad said about me. How well did that work out?"
"Shut up Adam!"
"No Dean! You're being an asshole. Ben can do what he wants. He can have a choice if he wants to join us or not. It's not like he'll be alone, or did you not hear what Cas said?"
Dean was about an inch from punching his little brother when Sam got in the way. "Both of you cool it! We've had a long couple of days. We're exhausted let's get some sleep and we can talk more tomorrow. After you two relax that is. Now Dean, don't yell at Adam like that. And Adam don't piss Dean off, he'll kick your ass in two seconds."
Both backed away from each other.. Dean flicked Adam off before following Missouri to a guess room, Lisa followed after them a second later.
Adam was left alone with Sam and Cas. "What the hell is Dean's problem?" He asked.
"He's Dean." Was Cas's helpful remark.
"Think about it Adam. How would you be if in less than two weeks, you found out your brother was alive and you had a son. Not good, right?"
Adam shrugged, still annoyed, as he left to find was in the other room.. Ben was curled up beneath a blanket with Ruby stroking his hair. Ruby smiled when she saw Adam. "Shh he's asleep. How's your head?"
Adam decided not to answer. He sat on the arm of the couch Ben was sleeping on. After a few seconds he felt a hand on his arm. Looking up he saw Ruby. She handed him a glass of water and some quietly took them. He was comfortable around Ruby despite her reputation. She seemed to know what people need, though she rarely offered help.
Adam felt like she knew how he was feeling about without even thinking he asked. "Ruby do you love Sam?"
The silence was long. Just when Adam was about to say forget it, Ruby answered. "I don't know. I think I do, but I've never loved anyone before so is hard to tell. It could just be lust. Your brother has an amazing body, you know."
"Not something I needed to hear."
Ruby laughed "So, I answered you question. So you have to answer mine. What did you see?"
Adam described what his vision was about. "I think I recognized that gun though. That girl too."
"Well there's one way to find out. Dean keeps all the weapons in the car, we can take a look."
Adam looked at Ruby in surprise "You do know what Dean would do if he caught us, right?"Ruby shrugged and left the room.
Adam hesitated but followed her. When Adam caught up to her Ruby was slipping the Impala's keys out of Sam's pocket while he slept sprawled out in the guestroom. As they crept out of the house, glad that Cas seemed to have left. Ruby unlocked the Impala's trunk after a few minutes of digging Adam started muttering about cleaning the Impala.
The pair were about to give up when Adam recognized a rifle."That's it," He picked it up and handed it to Ruby who looked at the gun for a second before speaking.
"This rifle's old, but its new to the brothers. When Dean died, I helped Sam clean out the trunk and see what they had. It wasn't here then."
"Hey, what's that say?" Adam read an engraving on the side. "I destroy spirits, I bring death, I hold love. JBH. What does that mean?"
Ruby held up her hand silencing him. "JBH I know those initials." Ruby found the cloth the gun had been wrapped in. An oddity in the cluttered weapons. She shook it out and a piece of paper fell out. Adam picked it up and saw that it wasn't a piece of paper, but a photo.
The same girl as in his visions stared out at him. On the back of the photo written in Dean's messy hand the name Joanna Beth Harvell. "Jo, it's her I'm seeing."
As if speaking her name caused it, Adam felt another vision taking over. He was in the bar again this time his brothers weren't in sight. Looking around Adam didn't see anybody. Then he heard muffled sobs. A door was open in the back of the room. Adam found that he could move this into the room he saw a bed. Jo was lying on the blue blanket. In her hand was a cell phone.
Jo kept on repeating the same message over and over each time making her cry harder. Adam recognized the voice as Bobby's though it sounded as if the veteran hunter was crying to. "Jo I hate to have to tell you this, but Dean's dead. Sam got out, and after we buried his brother he took off. If you see him give me a call please. I'm sorry I know how much you loved him."
The vision lasted a few more minutes, or at least that's what it felt like to Adam. When his sight returned he was lying in bed. Ruby sat in a chair that Cas stood next. Adam reached for the aspirin on the table. Cas held the water to his mouth while Adam sipped.
"Ruby told me what happened. It seems as if Gabriel wants to let you know what happened with Jo." The angel sighed looking as tired as Adam felt. "It's only eight a.m., your brothers won't be up till noon so you have a bit to recover. Whatever you do, don't tell Dean."
"Cas, why would Gabriel do this to me?" Adam asked.
The angel opened his mouth to respond.
