Dean looks at the Lady as he sits down in the guest room. He dried his face and decided to have a conversation with her here since it was better then trying to talk in a bathroom. Dean wasn't certain what she wanted but he had an idea.
He looks up at her and cocks his head to one side. "Speak."
The lady looks at him and then sits down on the floor in front of him. "When I tried to reverse the age spell. I was blocked. I knows it's because of your fears."
Dean takes a breath and then looks at the Lady. "he'll leave us again. Right after getting us attached to him again. I just.. I don't want to lose my brother again. I don't know if I can survive that."
The lady smiles gently and looks at him. "He told you a lot about his past?"
Dean nods and rubs his arms as if he's cold. "he told me a lot.. he said you died."
The Lady winces and then whispers. "Dean.. why do you think he left?"
Dean whispers. "I made him. I was too much to handle and too much to do deal with. All the shit I put people through makes them leave."
Dean's head snaps up when Seth's voice rings out. 'You didn't do that.."
Dean looks up and sees adult Seth. Seth was ghost like and Dean could see the wall behind Seth but he was very visible.
Adult Seth kneels in front of Dean. He can't touch Dean so he grips his own knees instead as he whispers. "It wasn't you.. I .. I got scared. With you and Roman fighting. I thought you where going to leave me. That I was just going to be abandoned again and that you guys had just been using me. Hunter offered me .. a family again. That's why they kept harping on that in all those segments and everything. They used the fear against me but it was me Dean. Not you."
Dean growls. "If I could slap you i would.. you.. you're our baby brother. We never would have left you in the dust. You and Roman are the only family I have. I would have never let you go."
Seth looks at Dean. "I would slap you too.. you didn't do anything wrong.. Not everything is your fault. You are not the cause of everything bad. You're mom was not right. Hell you took care of a sell out baby brother when he was stuck. You are a good person Dean. I should have talked to you guys instead of running."
Dean snorts. "Only did it so I could spank you later."
Seth rolls his eyes and then shakes his head. "Yeah sure brother."
Dean whispers. "I missed you."`
Seth look at him and nods. "I missed you and Roman. There wasn't a day that went by that .. I didn't regret what happened. I just kept telling myself it was too late and you guys hated me."
Dean snorts. "we can't hate you.. Though I might have punched you." Dean nods and looks Seth in the eyes. "I guess we better let you grow up."
Roman speaks up from the door way. He holds Toddler Seth who is wiggling happily reaching for Dean. "I dunno I like you better as a baby."
Seth huffs and peeks back at Roman. "You're just grouchy because you're the oldest. You have to be responsible."
Roman snorts. "More pissed you didn't just talk to us."
Seth fidgets under Roman's gaze.
Roman sighs and shakes his head. "you need to come back to us."
Dean looks at the Lady.
The Lady hums and then looks at them. "Once this is done.. I can't undo it."
Roman nods and looks at her. "Thank you."
The Lady shrugs a little. "I owed Seth. I'm sorry I left you with him. I'm sorry."
There was a bright flash and everything was drowned out by the light.
