WARNING: I DON'T OWN ANYTHING YOU RECOGNIZE
She ran as fast as she could, she didn't stop even when she felt pain in both of her legs. She was in shock; she couldn't believe that she had trusted Gabriel all these years. He had lied to her in the worst way. As Summer ran, she kept on thinking of Sam and especially Dean. This was going to hit him hard, Sam was his brother and when he found out what Sam had been doing all this time with Ruby, he was going to be pissed.
Summer and Dean had become extremely close this last time. After Adam's thing, Dean had stayed with Summer for the night, and the night after that, and the night after, and the night after that...he had stayed in her room for two weeks now. Sam was clueless to what had been happening between her and his older brother, and he was going to stay that way. There was no reason to tell Sam, because there was nothing to tell, they were just having sex, end of story.
However, this was not the most important problem on Summer's mind as she got into the warehouse, where she knew they would be. As soon as she entered she came face to face with a different Sam, who was kneeled on the ground with blood around his mouth. Neither of the Winchesters' were aware of Summer's presence, they were both into each other, looking into their eyes, oblivious to the rest of the world. Dean was the first to turn around and look at Summer, but she wished he hadn't done it. The look of betrayal and hurt was too much for her to bear, but she didn't have much time to think about it.
With Summer distracted, the demon that was possessing Jimmy's wife launched itself at the hunter and threw her in the ground. Summer was caught off guard, so when the demon started hitting her she couldn't do much. Dean was about to go help her, when he saw the demon started to choke and leave the body. When he turned around he found his brother on his feet with his hand raised, he was the one that had exorcised it. Dean ran to Summer and checked if she was ok, and after being sure that she was in no danger, he looked up and saw Castiel, wearing Jimmy's meat suit again.
As much as Dean didn't want to leave Summer's side, who was still in the floor, he got up and looked at Castiel, and before he could leave he stopped him, grabbing him by the coat. -"Cas, hold up. What were you gonna tell me?"- Dean asked, trying to make eye contact with his friend, but the person that was standing in front of him wasn't Cas, not his Cas.
Without thinking about his answer, Castiel replied. -"I learned my lesson while I was away, Dean. I serve heaven, I don't serve man, and I certainly don't serve you."-
The brothers stood there, watching the angel leave without another word. Summer got up and leaned into Dean for support, which without taking his eyes away from Cas's back, put an arm around her waist to hold her. She looked up at him and could see the conflict inside of his head; he was having a hard time trying to find an answer to everything. She looked as Castiel finally disappeared and sighed. Unlike the Winchesters, she knew that something like this could happen. At least Gabriel hadn't lied to her about that.
Two hours before.
Summer had to stay back while the Winchesters went looking for Castiel because Gabriel had showed up in town and wanted to talk with her. He wasn't in a good mood, and like it or not, he was her friend, or at least used two. Summer was also pissed because she just saw Anna a few hours ago and she felt like she could kill the bitch. Last time she saw her, she ended up fighting with the Winchesters for some misunderstanding. However, now was not the time to think about that, she had to wait until Gabriel showed up.
Just as Summer sat on the bed in the motel room she felt a breeze of wind behind her. She turned around and saw him. -"Gabe."- Summer said with a smile on her face. Sure she was mad at him too, but she hasn't seen him in a long time.
-"Summer."- He said and smiled. At that moment he forgot that he should be angry at her and closed the space between them to hug her. When she returned the hug, Gabriel's heart started beating at an incredible speed.
She laughed and separated from him to look him in the eyes. -"Are you ok? It feels like your heart is gonna pop out of your chest."-
-"I'm great."- He said as he tucked some hair behind her ear. As much as Gabriel wanted to just hang out with her, he took a step back and held her gaze, they had to talk. -"We need to talk."-
-"I know, and I know that you are pissed at me for hiding from you but you gotta underst-"- Summer started her rambling but he cut her off before she could finish.
-"Pissed? That doesn't even come close to it Summer."- Gabriel answered as he started gaining his anger toward her again. -"I was worried sick about you when I couldn't sense you."- He yelled at her, she jumped back from the surprise. -"I thought that things might have gone wrong and that, that Winchester hurt you or something and I swear of God tha-"- But this time she cut him off.
-"Winchester? Who? Come on Gabe, you know that Sam and Dean would never hurt me."- She said to him but he turned his back toward her.
-"Right. I was overreacting."- He said but she didn't believe him.
-"Wait, you actually thought that one of them would hurt me? Why? Who?"- Summer asked him, but when Gabriel turned around she knew who he was talking about. Sam. She had also felt weird about him, but she never doubted that Sam would never hurt her. -"It's Sam isn't it? Why would he hurt me?"- She asked him.
-"For the same reason he has been seeing that demon bitch. The same reason of how he is able to pull demons out of the bodies."- He confessed to her, he was tired to lying to her.
-"And what is that?"- She asked, afraid from the answer.
-"Blood. Demon's blood, Summer."- Gabriel said and Summer's eyes were wide open.
As Summer was in the backseat of the Impala, she could remember her talk with Gabriel clearly. Sam's secret was not the only thing he had hidden from her, he had also told her something about her "destiny" and she was extremely scared of that. She couldn't process that much information with the image of Sam drinking the blood from that demon like a vampire. However, Summer's thoughts were interrupted when Sam talked.
-"All right, let's hear it. Drop the bomb, man. You saw what I did. Come on, stop the car, take a swing."- Sam said to his brother. Summer quickly sat up straight and looked at Dean, she knew that provoking him wasn't a smart idea.
-"I'm not gonna take a swing."- Dean said, and he saw through the rearview mirror how Summer relaxed. -"I'm not mad, Sam."- He said as he continued driving.
-"Come on. You're not mad? Right. Look, at least let me explain myself."- Sam said to his brother. Summer from the backseat was begging for the younger Winchester to shut up.
-"Don't. I don't care."- Dean replied.
-"You don't care?"- Sam asked not believing his brother.
-"What do you want me to say, that I'm disappointed? Yeah, I am. But, mostly, I'm just tired, man. I'm done. I am just done."- Dean confessed. Both Sam and Summer looked at him with shock expressions on their faces. They couldn't believe something like this had come out of Dean's mouth.
Before the moment could get any more awkward, Summer's cellphone rang, it was Bobby. As she talked she gave a look to Dean and when Sam wasn't looking, he nodded at her through the rearview mirror. When she was done talking, she told the brothers that Bobby needed them as soon as possible and they better hurry because he seemed serious. Once they arrived at Bobby's, Summer could see what was going through Dean and Bobby's head and she didn't want to admit it but it was for the best.
-"All right. So, uh, what's the big demon problem?"- Sam asked as he entered the panic room.
-"You are. This is for your own good."- Bobby said as he closed the door, leaving Sam locked inside.
-"Guys? Hey, hey. What?"- Sam asked confused. He looked at his brother and Summer trying to get an explanation, but he got none. Bobby closed the little window that was on the door and turned to leave. -"This isn't funny. Guys! Hey! Guys?"- Sam kept screaming from inside.
Dean and Summer stayed there and listened to Sam's screams. Dean shut his eyes and leaned against the wall, he didn't know what else to do. His brother, his baby brother had betrayed him in the worst way. How many times had Dean warned him about this psychic crap? he didn't know, but he did know that he was going to save Sam. It didn't matter how bad, sad and broken Dean felt at the moment, he was going to suck it up and do what he had to do.
Summer didn't talk at all, she just let him calm himself down. After a few minutes she decided to walk to him and leaned on the wall next to him. She turned her head to the side and watched him closely. She couldn't imagine what was going through his head, what he was thinking. What was she supposed to say? How could she help him? She sighed and rested her head on his shoulder, and felt Dean relax.
-"This is going to be hell."- He told her without moving.
Summer smiled. -"When were our lives quiet? Hell, quiet is boring."- She answered him.
-"I know, but don't you think that this is a little too much."- He said as he opened his eyes.
-"Yeah, but we will make it."- She replied and stood straight. -"Besides, we still have an apocalypse to stop. Let's go."- She said and headed upstairs.
For a moment Dean didn't move, he just watched her as she walked upstairs. He didn't know if he was going to make it, this was a little too much for him to handle, it was Sam he was talking about. But deep down, Dean knew that if he had Bobby and Summer with him, he was going to try. He looked one more time at the panic room's door before heading upstairs behind Summer.
The three hunters were upstairs hearing Sam's screams when Rufus called. From Bobby's face, Dean and Summer knew that this wasn't good, a lot of seals were being broken and faster than before.
-"How many are left?"- Dean asked Bobby, referring to the seals.
-"Who knows? Can't be many. Where the hell are your angel pals?"- He replied looking at Dean.
-"You tell me."- Dean answered and looked at Summer waiting for her to say something when Bobby talked.
-"I'm just wondering."- He said.
Dean sighed and turned to look at Bobby -"What?"-
-"The apocalypse being nigh and all...is now really the best time to be having this little domestic drama of ours?"-
-"What do you mean?"- Dean asked him.
-"Well, I don't like this any more than you do, but Sam can kill demons. He's got a shot at stopping Armageddon."- Bobby told him.
Before Dean could say something Summer talked. -"We are not doing it Bobby, forget it. Sam needs this, he needs to clean himself from all the demon's blood that bitch gave to him."- She said.
Dean looked at her the whole time she talked. She didn't even doubt it; Sam was first to anything related with this apocalypse thing. He knew that, and apparently Summer too. They weren't going to sacrifice his brother just like that. But Dean also knew what he had to do, and without another word he left the house. At first, Summer thought that she should follow him, but he needed some alone time, and she was going to give it to him.
"Well, it's about time. I've been screaming myself hoarse out here for about two and a half hours now."- Dean said as Castiel appeared.
-"What do you want?"- Castiel replied in a cold tone.
-"You can start with what the hell happened in Illinois."- Dean asked with an angry tone.
-"What do you mean?"- Castiel asked confused.
-"Cut the crap. You were gonna tell me something."- Dean continued.
-"Well, nothing of importance."-
-"You got ass-reamed in heaven but it was not of importance?"-
-"Dean, I can't. I'm sorry. Get to the reason you really called me. It's about Sam, right?"- Castiel asked, starting to feel uncomfortable.
-"Can he do it? Kill Lilith, stop the apocalypse?"- Dean finally asked
-"Possibly, yes. But as you know, he'd have to take certain steps. Consuming the amount of blood it would take to kill Lilith would change your brother forever. Most likely, he would become the next creature that you would feel compelled to kill. There's no reason this would have to come to pass, Dean. We believe it's you, Dean, not your brother. The only question for us is whether you're willing to accept it. Stand up and accept your role. You are the one who will stop it."- Castiel replied.
-"If I do this, Sammy doesn't have to?"- Dean asked. He was trying so hard to find a way to save his brother.
-"If it gives you comfort to see it that way."- Castiel answered without emotion.
-"God, you're a dick these days."- Dean said as he walked away a few steps and sighed. -"Fine, I'm in."-
-"You give yourself over wholly to the service of God and his angels?"- Castiel asked him, and when Dean replied with a simple 'Yeah' he continued. -"Say it."-
-"I give myself over wholly to serve God and you guys."- Dean repeated.
-"You swear to follow his will and his word as swiftly and obediently as you did your own father's?"- Castiel said.
Dean glared at him when the angel mentioned his father. -"Yes, I swear. Now what?"-
-"Now you wait, and we call on you when it's time."- Castiel said and disappeared.
Summer and Bobby were still inside the house when Dean walked in. As soon as Summer laid eyes on him, she knew that something was wrong, and when Dean told them what he had done she flipped.
-"You willingly signed up to be the angels' bitch?"- She yelled at him, pissed at what Dean had done. When Dean just looked at her, Bobby talked.
-"I'm sorry. You prefer 'sucker'? After everything you said about them, now you trust them?"- He asked Dean.
-"Come on, give me a little credit. I've never trusted them less. I mean, they come on like shady politicians from planet Vulcan."- Dean answered.
-"Then why in the hell—"- Summer started but Dean cut her off.
-"Because what other option do I have? It's either trust the angels or let Sammy trust a demon?"- Dean replied to her.
Summer sighed and looked down, she didn't like this, she didn't like this at all, especially not after her little talk with Gabriel but as Summer stood there in silence, she realized that something wasn't ok. She looked up and listened really carefully to her surroundings. There was a dead silence, and that was not ok.
-"You hear that?"- She asked both Dean and Bobby, who looked at her before answering.
-"Yeah, that's a little too much nothing."- Bobby replied before going downstairs where the panic room was.
As the three hunters stood there they could see Sam on the floor having a seizure. When Summer was about to open the door, Dean stopped her. She looked up at him and frowned, sure Sammy had done some shitty things but he was his brother. However, before she could say something Dean talked.
-"What if he's faking?"- He asked her and Summer didn't say anything. That could be true, this was not their Sammy.
Just when Summer was about to agree with Dean, they saw how Sam was slammed against the wall by an invisible force. -"That ain't faking." She said and ran inside.
Bobby and Dean tied Sam up as Summer stayed at one side and watched them. The whole time she could see how Dean was fighting with himself to keep it together. She knew how hard this must be for him and wished there was something she could do. When they left the room, Bobby went upstairs to make some coffee, leaving Summer and Dean alone.
-"Are you ok?"- She asked him as Dean ran a hand through his hair. -"I know this must be difficult, but its Sam, he'll get over it."-
-"The demon blood is killing him."- Dean said in a low whisper.
Summer looked down, she didn't know if she should say this but it was the truth. -"No, it isn't. We are."- She said and Dean quickly locked eyes with her. -"I'm sorry. I can't bite my tongue any longer. We're killing him. Keeping him locked up down here. If—if he doesn't get what he needs, soon...Sam's not gonna last much longer, Dean."- She said to him as she got closer.
-"No. I'm not giving him demon blood. I won't do it."- He said and stood up straight.
-"I'm not saying that you should, I just want you to be prepared for what could happen."- She said as she stopped right in front of him.
-"I would die for him in a second, but I won't let him do this to himself. I can't. I guess I found my line. I won't let my brother turn into a monster."- Dean confessed to Summer.
-"I know."- Summer said before kissing him on the lips.
She didn't know why she was doing this, maybe to make him feel better, letting him know that he wasn't alone. Dean quickly responded to her and wrapped his arms around her waist. These last days, Summer has been the one that was with him, that helped him to keep going. When he kissed her, he forgot about everything and just enjoyed the moment. When they broke apart, Summer opened her eyes to find him with his still closed.
-"And you're not alone. We are doing this together Dean."- She said and smiled at him when he finally opened his eyes.
Dean nodded before giving her a quick last kiss and going upstairs. -"Come on, maybe Bobby needs our help"-
As they were working upstairs, trying to find a solution to this big damn problem, Summer decided to have a break and take some air, so she got up and went outside. As she was walking around Bobby's car, she heard something. She turned around but saw nothing, but as she kept walking she saw Sam trying to steal a car.
-"Sam? Sam, what are you doing here?"- She said as she approached him.
-"Summer, get out of here, leave me alone."- He said as he continued to try and open the car.
-"No, you're going back inside with me right now. We will talk with Dean and Bobby and try to made them understa- "- She said but he cut her off.
-"I'm not going anywhere with you."- He said as he faced her. -"You don't understand, no one does. I need to do this, I need to kill Lilith myself, Summer"-
-"I do, I do understand you Sammy. I wanna gank her as much as you do, but this is not the way."- She said as she put both her hands on his arms, trying to calm him down. -"Please, please, come back inside with me, we'll find the way. We won't listen to your brother; I will back you up, but not like this, not with demon blood."-
Sam looked down at his feet before locking eyes with her. -"I'm sorry but this is how it is."- He said and slowly took his arms out of her grasp. -"I'm sorry Sum."- He said and turned around to leave.
Summer closed her eyes, he had said 'Sum', and damn that nickname could get to her. Without thinking twice she took her gun out and aimed at his back. -"I'm sorry Sammy. I wanted to do this the easy way, but as you don't leave me any other choice, we are doing it in the hard way."-
Sam turned around and looked at her. -"You won't shoot me, Sum."- He said to her and took two steps closer to her.
Summer closed her eyes for a second before looking at him again. -"I don't want to, but if you don't leave me another choice, I might hav-"- She started but Sam cut her off.
-"What? You might have to? Like you did with Adam?"- He said to her and as soon as the words left his mouth, he could see the pained expression on her face. -"Maybe you would shoot me, after all it's nothing you haven't done before."- He said as he got as close to her as he could.
-"Don't go there Sam."- Summer warned at him. "We are trying to help you."-
-"Then shoot."- He said as he took the gun and pointed it against his chest.
Summer swallowed the lump in her throat. What was she supposed to do now? She couldn't just shoot Sam that was not alright. She closed her eyes for a second and when she opened them again, she was taken by surprise from the hit to her jaw that she didn't see coming. Summer stumbled back as Sam took hold of the gun.
-"I knew you wouldn't shoot me."- He said as he hit her with the gun in the head, knocking her unconscious. -"I'm sorry Sum."- He said and looked at her.
Summer was lying unconscious on the floor, with a pool of blood around her, she wasn't moving and maybe not even breathing. But Sam couldn't think about this now, he was so close to leaving, he needed to leave, he had to. He turned around and started walking in the opposite direction, without even once looking back at the body on the floor whose breathing was slowly decreasing.
