Sam came out of the apartment and climbed into the front seat of the Impala with Dean, I sat in the back seat.
"So where to," I asked, "I really need a nap, wake me up when it's my turn to sit up front." I spread out on the back seat and fell asleep.
"Dean, is Alex doing okay? She's not really acting like herself and she looks like she hasn't slept in a month." Sam said glancing back at me.
Dean shook his head, "No not really, she has been using her abilities a lot, when she does it hurts her a lot and drains her energy, Alex sleeps up to 16 hours a day some times, she's recovering from the voodoo case and it's not going so well, her powers are killing her. They are increasing and she can teleport and move things with her mind, but it hurts her and yet she insists on using her powers to help on cases."
Sam frowned, "That's not good. She needs to not hurt herself like that, she could kill herself if she goes to far."
Dean nodded, "Yeah I know, I keep telling her that, but she always says that she can do it, that she'll be fine but, I know that's not true. I worried about her, I know that she's not okay. Dad hasn't noticed but, I know that she's hurting and she is trying to hide the pain as best she can."
Sam looked back at me, "Alex looks terrible, the dark circles under her eyes, the way that she winces if she moves too fast and the cuts and scrapes all over her face. Why haven't you been taking care of her better Dean?"
"She refuses to let me help her, she is stubborn and doesn't want anyone to see her weaknesses. She is just always like that and it makes me want to smack her. I just want to protect my little sister and she is making that really hard for me to do that, Alex could die and she doesn't even care!"
I woke up when I heard Dean say my name and rubbed my eyes, "How much longer until we get there?" I asked looking out the windshield.
Dean smiled, "Wow, you're finally awake I thought you were going to sleep through the whole trip."
I shook my head, "Nah I want to listen to your conversations about me. Yeah I could hear the whole thing, Dean I'm fine you don't need to baby me I can take care of myself."
Sam smirked, "Wow Alex nice one, well we are on the subject, why the hell are you still using your powers even though you know that you could die and you still want to use the thing that is slowly killing you?"
I smirked, "I'm able to help people Sam in ways I never knew that I could. I can do so much more than normal people and that feels great."
Sam rolled his eyes, "You're killing yourself Alex, how can you see nothing is wrong with that?" He asked starting to raise his voice a bit. "How the hell do you think Dean and I feel knowing that you could die any day because of what you're doing!"
I closed my eyes, "Sam you don't understand, that's your problem you weren't there with Dean and me! You don't know what has happened in the past two years when you were living an apple pie life!" I yell.
Dean pulled over and turned off the car, "Will you two stop it! You've been in the car together for not even two hours so shut up or so help me I will call Bobby and Dad!" Dean said in all seriousness. That was the last time Sam and I spoke to each other on the way to Jericho.
