Time for dean
Onwards
Caleb lifted Dean out of the car and sat him on the ground, then he and Sam untied him so he layed flat
with his head proped on Calebs lap.
"Why is he not awake? moving him should have done it, Dean is always hyper aware."
"I don't know runt he won't respond to sound or movement that spell must have been a strong one."
"Let me try something. Caleb I need you to hurt me, if anything can get to Dean its protecting me."
"Thats low Sam but it might work, now give me your hand and im sorry in advance cause this is gonna
hurt like a bitch."
Sam offered his left hand palm up confusion showing on his face
"Why my hand I don't see ho..ahhhhhh! fucking fuck! Dammit Caleb that was my fucking hand!"
"Hey I warned ya its only your wrist its not your domonate hand so quit sooking."
"Smmy?..wha rong.?.sammy?"
Caleb's and Sam's eyes met they each had matching smiles.
"Hey sleeping ugly time to wake up princess here is hurt."
"Damien..?..what? SAMMY!"
Dean sat up and quickly and did a combat role out of Caleb's lap and leaped to a standing position and
grabbed his baby brother by the back of the neck and proceeded to look him over for injuries, stoping at
the red, swelled wrist cradlled into his brothers chest.
"Sammy you okay? let me see how bad so I can patch you up?"
"Its fine Dee, Macs taking care of it the pain is fading."
"Mac? Sammy your not making sence, Mac is not here and where is Josh? what the hell is going on?"
"Deuce man lets sit in the car and ill explain everything now what do you remember?"
"I don't want to sit down I just want answers."
"Dee come on get in the car I feel exposed out here, we will explain."
"Fine but your gonna lay in the back while Damien talks."
The three men got into the car and all let out a breath and relaxed into the worn leather seats.
"Lets start with what you remember."
"Well last thing I remember was the lovely broomhilda tossing a spell at Josh, then getting hit by a train,
a red light, then waking up a min ago. What happened? Josh alright?
"Ya deuce Josh is fine, you jumped in front of the spell which was stupid by the way."
"Ya well mommas boy was not getting hurt on my watch. So where are we? and whats going on?"
Sam shifted in the back seat
"Dean we need you to stay calm your not going to like this part, the truth is we umm are kinda in your
head right now none of this is real."
"You wanna run that by me again Sam I think I have some crazy stuck in my ear."
"Sorry deuce you heard right, the spell put you in a coma of sorts we are all at the farm right now but you
wouldn't wake up and needed help so Sam and I used some dreamroot and came to get you."
"Dreamroot? you mean you guys just decided to take a stroll in my head without asking? what the hell!"
"Dean were sorry it was the only way, the spell was designed to trap you in your own head you needed
help or you would never wake up and I can't lose you again dean we can't lose you and we won't. "
"Why both of you? im sure one freaky physic in my head is fine I didn't need two."
"We were both needed to find you your mind is like a maze dude."
"Okay fine you found me so now I just wake up and its all good?"
"Well the thing is...no you can't wake up the spell is still active."
"Active! son of a bitch, how do I un activate it the collage boy? ?"
"Deuce man this is gonna suck but I need to to focus okay? in order to wake up you have to confront 5
tests and im telling you now all 5 of them suck ass."
"Oh well isn't that just freaking peachy, how long have I been out?"
"Im assuming were on day 2 but it took us a while to find you."
"Find me...the tests...guys im only gonna ask this once what did you see on yout little stroll?"
Joshua walked into Deans room with a plate of sandwiches and 2 beers in between his fingers.
"Any change Mac?"
he asked as he handed his step dad a beer and placed the plate on the dresser.
"No nothi..snap oh my god what was that?"
Beers forgotten they both went over to the bed to find Sam's wrist hanging at a wrong angle and starting
to swell.
"Its a clean break ill wrap it in a splint and ace bandage untill they wake up. Could you hand me my bag
please?"
Sure here you go I got some cream for swelling and pain want me to get it?"
"Yes please that would be helpful."
"Smmy?"
"Okay well ummm we saw the 5 tests you have to do but just bits and pieces for the most part."
"I guess I can handle that so fill me in."
"Do you want the riddles or the basics?"
"Basics please I would like to wake up here soon."
"Okay Dean, umm the first one is reliving your most painful injuries."
"I can handle that next."
"Umm Deuce, after that is confronting John."
"Dad not a problom I can handle da."
The physics shared a sad look and Caleb gave Sam a small nod.
"No Deuce you have to confront John, not your dad."
"John? but dad is...oh you mean..oh you saw?"
Seeing dean's eyes fill and drop the the floor caused Sam's heart to follow.
"Dee we only saw a little I swere we didn't know."
Dean opened the door and ran into the field before Caleb and Sam realized that he moved.
"Crap Sam the mines ,we gotta get him. Deuce man come back its not safe."
Caleb yelled as he attemped to chase down Dean without triggering a mine.
"Get the hell away from me I don't wa.."
Dean was standing in the middle of a slowly sinking factory floor his best friend staring at him eyes filled
with anger panic and fear.
"don't you even think about it just walk towords me very slowly."
Dean remembered this the fall, the landing on rebar, the 14 hours of pain. This was one of the times he
was sure he was going to die and suddenly he found himself happy, content, he would die the pain would
stop and Caleb would be safe. Just as he felt the floor give way he found himself on his back covered in
purple with Sam and Caleb on eather side of him.
"Hey deuce you okay? I warned you not to run off."
"What the hell was that?"
"That Dean, was a lindmine of your pain what did you feel?"
Sam asked while holding his right hand out for Dean to pull himself up.
"Feel? well it was the memory of the factory."
"Crap deuce the factory? take a minute the backlash sucks."
"Factory? what factory? "
"Nevermind Sammy it was while you were at school. Backlash? theres no backlash, at lease not for me
what did you guys feel?"
"Rawhead."
"Hellhounds."
"Shit you guys okay?"
"Ya dee were fine, but you can't run off like that this entire field is filled with lanemines full of your pain
we have to walk carefully till he get to the otherside."
Dean followed Sams pointed finger to a small grass covered hill with a ominous black door
"Awsome, that door looks friendly."
"We will deal with it once we get over there lets just take it slow."
"Not so fast we need to talk about umm what you saw..with John."
Seeing Sam's eyes harden and jaw clench Caleb knew he was the one who would have to say it.
"Alright deuce, we saw 2 memories of you and John okay? and you need to know it changes nothing your
still my wildcard and nothing that bastard did will change that okay?"
Dean only nodded while focusing on his boots.
"Okay we saw the very first time it happened when you were four." choosing to ignore the pain filled
gasp Caleb contuied "and we saw you making the deal for our safety. "
"Deal, which deal?"
Sam could not stay quiet at the question.
"What do you mean what deal Dean? the one when I was 12 after that mythology exam!"
"Oh okay so the second one."
"Second one? what and when was the first one!"
"Please Sammy just drop it I can't..I don't want to talk about okay please?"
Seeing his brother attempt to curl into a ball while standing caused Sam to release his anger and hear
Deans pleas.
"Now if were done here lets get out of this field before a bee decides Sammy's hair would make a good
bed."
"Oh ha ha Caleb your so funny but we all know you love purple flowers."
Dean cracked a small smile listing to the banter giving him the desire to wake up from this nightmare and
put it all behind him. The triad carefuly made their way across the flowers without any more memory
bombs and all sat on the grass hill infront of the black leather door that smelled so much like his dad that
Deans stomach flipped.
"Deuce you okay? your shaking."
"I..I never wanted you guys to know what he did, what he really was. I mean Damien you worshipped
him he was your hero and Sammy he was the only dad you ever knew, you lost mom I couldn't let you
loose dad too. My dad died the night of the fire I knew that and accepted that a long time ago."
"Deuce im so sorry I never knew, if I did Mac, Jim, Bobby, we all would have saved you but something is
bugging me in the memory we saw, when you were four you were talking but when I met you you were
almost catatonic was it because of that night?"
"Yes and no ill explain when we wake up I just can't right now do you understand."
"Ya ya I get it."
"So umm what exactly is waiting for me on the other side of this thing?"
"Dee my best guess is one of 2 things. One, more reliving your memories or Two, facing John directly."
"Awsome, you guys are gonna be with me right?"
"The entire time Dean, we got your back just remember you have to confront him and all he represents."
"Okay down we rabbit hole we go."
There ya go
The pain memory is not mine its from the brotherhood story The Fall. Be warned the next test will
involve evil john again. Still need feedback on if Sam and Caleb are bystanders or not
