After a hunt in West Virginia, things really heat up between the two…

Brooklyn was grateful to be back out on the hunt after what happened in Quincy. Not that she didn't love the attention Dr. Dean showed her, but she was better and at one hundred and ten percent performance level as Sam had once told her. The warmth of the sun cascaded through the window as she leaned up against the glass soaking up its heat. Dean grinned as he looked over seeing the smile splashed across her face. His Brook was back and that was all that mattered to him.

The trio of hunters was on their way to Wheeling, West Virginia as reports of a strange red orb was being reported in the forests outside of the city. Some of the locals had pegged it the Devil's Sphere since each time it appeared tragedy would befall the city. The last two people to lay eyes upon the red orb were visited with tragedy. One man went insane and shot up the post office killing four people. A teenage girl who also gazed upon the Sphere tried to kill herself by slashing her wrists. Brooklyn had conducted further research and determined that the sightings of the red ball were concentrated around an area of forest called No Man's Land. There was no explanation as to how the area got the foreboding name and even with Sam and Brooklyn's mad talents they still could find nothing.

Seeing as a break was in order, Dean pulled over at the next rest area as they crossed over into Kentucky. Brooklyn was awestruck at the Appalachian Mountains as they snaked across the country. They were nothing like the mountains of Arizona as they were jagged and rough. Here, the mountains were gentle with smooth peaks and gentle sloping sides. Closing her eyes, she could hear the ghosts of the past as their thoughts swam around and through her mind.

She knew that she had certain abilities being a daughter of Gabriel and was beginning to truly understand her capabilities. She had vowed to use them in the fight against evil and to help in keeping the Seals left unbroken. She opened her eyes as Sam approached her wanting to take in the view.

"Look at them, silent witnesses to the past present and future of humanity. I hope that humans are still on Earth to appreciate the beauty and gifts Gaia has bestowed upon us" she said turning to Sam. The younger Winchester was impressed with her words. It was almost as if she possessed the wisdom and knowledge of a wise old sage. He knew she was referring to the Seals and the battle to keep Lucifer from walking upon Earth. Sam also noted a hint of sadness in her voice as he stood there next to his friend.

"We will, Brooklyn. Humanity will be around for centuries to appreciate what nature has given them" Sam responded smiling at her. Brooklyn turned back to gazing upon the ancient peaks as her mind wandered to Dean. She was ready to further cement her relationship with him. She loved him and wanted to match that physically. But she still held back from giving him everything she had to offer. She wanted to still go slow as something told her that things would still turn out. She silently decided that tonight would be the night that she brought Dean Winchester into her bed. She only hoped that they would survive the night to get that far.

"So what are you two hens cackling about?" Dean's voice echoed behind them. Sam rolled his eyes and Brooklyn shook her head.

"Enjoying the scenery, something that we don't get to do often" Sam replied.

"Right, ok then ladies let's roll" Dean said as he collected his two companions. Sam moved on ahead as Dean grabbed Brooklyn's hand spinning her around to face him. Before she could breathe one word, his mouth covered hers in a deep and fervent kiss. She wrapped her arms around him as he held her tight. Breaking their connection, Dean stared into her grey orbs, the ones he always found himself getting lost in. Linking his hand with hers, Dean led her back to the Impala where Sam was waiting.

Not being able to resist himself, Dean pushed her against his baby claiming her mouth one more time. Brooklyn let her hands slide down grabbing the hunter's ass through his worn jeans. He let out a small noise of approval at the motion. They both jumped at the horn sounding. Sam honked it impatiently.

"Can we please get moving!? You two can carry out your sexual fantasies later" he said rolling his eyes. Dean kissed her one more time before they pair got in the car and sped off towards West Virginia. Brooklyn reached over and grabbed his hand.

It was dusk when they reached the city of Wheeling. The city sat in the northern panhandle of the state and was close to Pittsburgh. The Ohio River snaked through the city as it made its westward trek towards the Mississippi River. Brooklyn went in to pay for the rooms as the guys sat in the car. Clouds had begun to gather on the horizon as lightning danced across the sky. Dean watched her as she was inside the lobby paying for the rooms. He still couldn't believe that she loved him and she was still there by his side. His eyes followed her as she ran out to the car hopping back in. She handed one key to Sam and held onto the other.

"Ready?" she asked. Dean nodded and started the car back up heading around the back of the building to where their rooms were. Reaching in the trunk, Sam grabbed his bags and then Dean grabbed his and Brooklyn's. Luckily the rooms were beside one another as the hunters stepped in and prepared for tonight's hunt.

As Dean sharpened the knives, Brooklyn cleaned every single gun they would need. He let a small smile creep up seeing her move with such fluidity and ease. Within minutes all the guns were put back together locked and ready to go. Dean looked down and realized he didn't even have one knife done. He was so fixated on watching Brooklyn that he forgot what he was doing.

She looked up at him seeing that he was staring at her. She got up from the couch and sat beside him on the bed.

"You okay, Dean?" she asked with a hint of concern in her grey eyes. Dean shook his head and turned to face her.

"Uh, yeah, I'm fine Brook. I must have zoned out" he answered.

He reached out touching her face feeling her lean into his hand. She closed her eyes allowing her other senses to do the work. His hands were rough and calloused capable of killing and maiming yet could also be the vessel of love and tenderness. She had seen the softer side of him many times. Sometimes she thought that she was the only one to see that side of him. If that was the case then she felt honored and pretty damn lucky. She nestled up against his chest with her eyes closed. If things panned out like she was hoping than tonight would be it.

A soft knock on the door brought her back to reality as she got up and saw Sam standing there.

"I thought we could all grab something to eat before we headed out. Sound good? Because I don't know about the rest of you but I am starved."

"Alright then let's go!" Dean said as he loaded the bags and met up with Sam and Brooklyn.

Brooklyn seemed out of it as they sat there waiting on their food. She found herself staring out the window thinking about everything that has gone on within the last several weeks. She never thought that she would be able to move on after losing Nathaniel. It had taken a lot for her to come around after that. But she was wrong as she was now here with Dean and he was in love with her. She loved him but was still holding back. However as time had progressed she found herself opening up more around him feeling the wall begin to crumble down that had been up since Nathaniel's funeral.

Dean and Sam were deep in conversation about the approaching hunt as the waitress finally showed up with their food. Dean dug into the greasy mess on his plate while Sam ate with a bit more civility. Brooklyn merely picked at her food. She didn't even know why she ordered it. She had a lot on her mind this evening and food was the last thing on it.

"Something wrong with your food?" Dean asked between heaping mouthfuls of chicken and waffles.

She merely shook her head pushing it away. Sam and Dean squared off over the untouched chicken and potatoes. Sam had his fork up ready to strike at Dean. Dean dared him as he went in stealing the chicken before Sam could react. Brooklyn just sat there drinking her Diet Coke. Men, she thought.

The woods were eerily quiet as they trudged through the woods. They were in the area known as No Man's Land waiting for the Devil's Sphere to appear. They didn't have to wait long.

The forest began to glow a deep red which made one think that the trees were ablaze. Over the horizon the orb became visible. It slowly glided through the trees towards the hunters. Brooklyn had her favorite sawed off cocked and ready to fire. Sam and Dean each had handguns ready to go. As the orb approached them it stopped in midair suspended by some unknown power or force. Slowly the orb began to take human form. There stood two figures that were transparent but solid enough to know that a man and a woman stood there. Both were in colonial era clothing as they looked at the trio before them.

"Sam, Dean, these spirits mean us no harm. Lower your guns" Brooklyn gently instructed the brothers. They lowered their guns as the spirits inched closer towards them. Brooklyn walked towards the entities until she stood a few feet away.

"Who are you? Why are you here?" She asked the spirits. The woman stepped forward facing Brooklyn.

"We are but of spirits from the past. Our names have been lost in the annals of history. We roam this land because we cannot rest. We have been damned to walk the Earth until we can be freed" she said with great sadness.

"But why hurt people? What did they do to deserve such punishments?" she asked the spirits.

"We did not harm those people for it was another entity that causes such pain. We tried to stop it but we cannot" the man answered.

Brooklyn turned to Dean and Sam pleading with them to help. They nodded and agreed to help the restless spirits.

"Where can we find this entity?" she asked again. The male spirit responded.

"It comes now. We can feel it" and they disappeared. Brooklyn looked up to see the nasty image of a man in similar dress yet his face full to malice and hatred. He leered at the hunters jumping down from the tree it was perched in. Brooklyn stepped back towards the others as the spirit edged closer.

"Do you really think you can stop me?" the entity taunted Brooklyn. Without thinking she fired off several rounds from her sawed off causing the spirit to vanish.

"I think I pissed it off! Is my book in there?" she hollered back at the guys. Dean rummaged through her satchel and found it.

"Cover me!" she yelled as she found the incantation she knew would stop all this. As she began reciting the spell, the spirit appeared violently hurling her to the ground. Her book landed several feet away. She got to her feet diving for the book but the spirit beat her kicking it away. Dean raised his gun taking aim at the spirit. Without hesitating he fired off several rounds getting the freaky ghost off Brooklyn's back. Seizing the chance, Brooklyn grabbed her book opening it back to the vanquishing spell.

Lifting a hand she began reciting the ancient Latin text as the spirit appeared but this time its face contorted in pain and anguish as burst into a ball of blue flames screaming out in excruciating pain until a black scorch mark was left upon the earth.

The two other spirits appeared again looking down at the spot where the spirit once stood. They looked back at the trio and smiled.

"Thank you" they said as they vanished finding the peace they had desperately sought for centuries.

Dean and Sam jogged up to her as she stood there. She had felt their pain and sorrow from centuries of walking in limbo waiting for the day they would be freed and allowed to join their departed loved ones on the other side.

Dean pulled Brooklyn into his arms as she wrapped her arms around him.

"Let's get out of here" she said quietly leading the hunters back to the Impala…
