Chapter 13

It had been a week since they had left Richardson, Texas and the Tulpa behind. The quintet… counting baby Ian, were ready to crash into their beds at Bobby's. The two cars pulled into the junkyard; the sound of the familiar engines bringing the occupants of the house out the front door to greet the younger members of their clan.

The two rough looking, but really teddy bear like on the inside, men watched as first the Impala, then the Camero pulled to a stop and the occupants exited the car. As soon as Sam stood straight after getting Ian out of the back seat, he noticed John and Bobby. The expressions on their faces were not happy ones. This could only mean one thing….

"DEAN ALEXANDER, SAMUEL FRANCIS, JESSICA LEE WINCHESTER! FRONT AND CENTER!" the two bellowed as one.

Sam, Dean and Jessica all shared a look. They both knew what this was about, or at least they had an inkling. Especially since everyone noticed as Ed and Harry came walking out the front door each having heard the bellow.

As soon as the six younger adults caught sight of one another Sam, Dean, Jessica, and Cassie – who had been off the side laughing at the reaction from whom she assumed to be Dean and Sam's father and the 'Uncle' Bobby they said they were going to see.

"Oh…Shit!" the boys said in unison. While both Winchester boys and Jessica knew that Bobby and John were all bark and only a little bite, they were definitely worried about their reaction.

However before the older hunters could say anything, Ed spoke up, "What the hell are y'all doing here?"

Instead of Dean speaking up, as John and Bobby would've expected, it was Sam. "Well, John Winchester is OUR," he pointed to himself and his brother, "dad and Bobby is like an Uncle to the three of us," he explained with a roll of his eyes. "We never thought you two would've actually showed up here," he added hoping that little reveal would soften whatever payback John and Bobby had in store for them.

John was about to comment, when Ian, who had been asleep, realized Jessica wasn't holding him, he began looking around for her. When his bright blue eyes located his mother, he cried out, "MAMA…MAMA…MAMA!"

Sam tried to calm his adopted son down, but Ian wouldn't have it. Jessica shook her head fondly as she reached over and took Ian into her arms, adjusting him so he was sitting on her hip. Bobby and John both raised an eyebrow. While both of them had known that Jessica and Sam had adopted their godson, neither of the older hunters had ever met the boy.

A smile formed on John's face as he saw the young eight month old. "Bout time you got here. Now let me see my grandson," he said, his voice taking on a jovial tone as he walked over to where Jessica was standing with Ian. As he held his arms out to take Ian, a wicked grin spread over John's face as he added, "And don't you three think that you are free from payback."

Dean, Sam and Jessica all groaned at the thought of what "torture" John and Bobby would come up with. The only thing they could hope for was that John and Bobby would wait until after they got rid of the demon that had killed Mary and Jackie. John looked down at his adopted grandson and grinned. It was times like this that he enjoyed the most. The times when he was able to act like a real father and not the drill sergeant that he had turned into after Mary's death.

"All right," Bobby's voice snapped everyone out of their stupor. "We going to stand outside all day or get inside and research the damned demon you all have been hunting for a while?"

Cassie, as the only one who semi understood what was going on between John, Bobby, Dean, Sam and Jess, had just stood back and watched in amusement as her fiancée and future brother and sister in law were read the riot act. It was the first time she ever met John and Bobby and she had wanted to watch their interaction for a bit before Dean introduced her.

Before she could say anything to Dean, John spoke up, "Now Dean, aren't you forgetting to introduce me to your girl son?"

And right there, before her eyes, was something she never thought she'd see in a million years, Dean Winchester blushing. "Sorry Sir. Dad, this is my fiancée, Cassandra Robinson, Cassie for short, Cass, this is my father John Winchester," Dean began, "and our close friend Bobby Singer."

Cassie smiled as she took one of John's big hands into hers, "It's nice to finally meet you…" she paused, as she was not sure just what she was supposed address this man who had been built up into her mind as someone larger than life.

"Call John, or Dad, like Jessica and the boys do, after all you're family Cassie," John told her as they all stepped up onto the porch.

"And you can call me Bobby or Uncle Bobby," Bobby said as he took her hand from John. "It's nice to see that the boys had found a couple of gals who could put up with all their bullshit."

Jessica and Cassie shared a look before they burst out laughing. "Oh Uncle Bobby, you and Dad have no idea what those two have been up to," Jessica smirked. She knew that John and Bobby loved hearing about the prank wars… as long as neither of them were a recipient of a prank.

"Um, excuse us, but could someone fill us in on what is going on?" Ed spoke up. He and Harry had been watching the little family reunion, both with jealousy, shock and curiosity running through their minds. After all, they had never expected to see Sam, Dean and their girls ever again.

It was then that the Winchester Clan, both by blood and extended, turned with surprised looks on their faces. They had all forgotten about the two non-Winchester Clan members. "Shit!" Dean muttered as he shared looks with his family, "Ed, Harry we forgot you were there."

Ed and Harry shot them looks that said, "Gee, ya think?!" Of course, this had no effect on the Winchester Clan. "Look boys," Bobby spoke up, "this is a family matter and you are not a part of this family. What you two need to do is go on inside and read those texts that I told you to," when neither boy moved, Bobby nearly bellowed, "NOW!" which fortunately brought the two amateurs to life and sent them inside.

Once the two were out of hearing range, Bobby then looked at the family that he had adopted and who had adopted him, and said, "Look, if you go down stairs into my basement you'll find a door, it leads to a room I built which is supernatural proof. You can go in there and talk without any interference."

Sam shot Bobby a smile as he wrapped an arm around Jessica's waist. "Thanks Bobby, we appreciate it."

"Don't mention it," Bobby shot back as he headed inside to make sure Ed and Harry didn't mess anything up.

As the door shut behind Bobby, John spoke up, "All right, want to tell me what happened in Lawrence and in Texas?"

Dean, Cassie, Sam and Jessica shared a look before Cassie replied, "When we get inside, is that ok John? I think we will all need to be sitting down."

John and Bobby looked at the two couples and mentally agreed that it might be for the best that they discuss this in the house. As they began to turn towards the house, Bobby looked at Ed and Harry, "What do you two think yer doing standing there? Go practice yer shooting." When neither moved a muscle, Bobby yelled out, "That's an order!" causing both newbie's to scramble for their guns and head to the firing range Bobby had installed at the back of the property for just this purpose.

Bobby then walked into the house cool as a cucumber. Well, it seemed that way to rest of his adopted family. What the boys and their girls didn't know was he was planning on some prank retribution on his own. After all, those two idjits, to put it in Bobby's terms were not fully competent. They still treated hunting as if it were a game; even after the boys and girls saved their lives from that tulpa a few months back.

Neither couple knew what was in store for them, though it was easy to see that they were all prepared for getting the talking to of a lifetime. So it was no surprise when John spoke up first as they all entered the living room and he said, "All right, sit down. Now, which one of you wants to tell me what the hell has been going on these last few months?"

With a raised eyebrow Sam spoke up first, "Gee dad, if you had bothered to check in once in a while or even check your voicemail you would know what has been happening." Then with a sigh, he handed Ian over to Jessica and continued, "After you took off on Dean, he came to pick Jess and I up at our apartment to get our help. When Jess and I returned home we found our best friend Jackie plastered to the ceiling just like mom. Since then, we've been traveling, looking for you while taking care of Ian and hunting…" as Sam was getting worked up he failed to nice that one of the vases was being raised off the table it was set upon.

Jessica, however, did notice and placed a hand on Sam's knee and softly said, "Sam, love…" Sam paused in his rant and looked at Jessica then looked to where she pointed and a shocked look formed on his face.

"Oh God!" Sam shook his head then looked over to the shocked looks of his father and the man whom he thought of as an uncle. Instead of staying and waiting for the reactions from his father and the man whom he looked to as an uncle, Sam walked outside the back door to cool off.

A few moments later, John and Bobby were broken out of there stupor and looked to Jessica, Dean and Cassie for an explanation.

"Jessica," John spoke slowly, still in shock at seeing his youngest boy perform telekinesis. "What in the hell just happened?"

With a raised eyebrow, Jessica replied, a little testily. "Well, John, I'd say that was probably six months of frustration that had built up. All because you never kept in touch, with the exception of one quick phone call. And the fact that you never showed up when we called to get your help in Lawrence when we fought the demon who not only killed Mary, but also killed our best friend," she ranted. "Not only that but we found out more about the reasons behind the deaths we found were caused by the demon."

"What do you mean? It was just a demon looking to cause trouble wasn't it?" Bobby questioned. Though he had known the Winchesters for years and had helped raise the boys, he was not told much about the death of Mary Winchester.

Dean sighed, it looked like it was his turn to talk. "No, Bobby it wasn't," he said, "The demon killed mom, Jackie and the mother of another guy around Sam's age because of his powers."

"So what're you sayin' boy?" Bobby gave Dean a stern look. "Is there something…demonic about Sam's powers?"

Dean, Cassie and Jessica shook their heads. "Not so far as we know. All we know is that this demon is more sensitive to powers," Jessica replied as she shrugged her shoulders. "I think that he is a 'collector' and is trying to find the one person who can withstand being permanently possessed by him."

Jessica had been expecting someone to respond to her observation; however, what was unexpected was the one who responded. "I think your theory may be right sweetheart," Jessica turned and headed over to Sam who pulled her close. "I also think that there's only one way we can be sure that none of us can be possessed," Sam continued.

This was a shock to Bobby and John. "How do ya figure that one son?" Bobby asked curiously.

Sam smiled grimly and opened one of the ancient books. "This," he pointed to the open page, "The seal of Solomon. Guaranteed to prevent demons from entering or leaving a location."

"And the way to prevent one of us from being possessed would be to get tattoos," Dean continued as he saw where Sam's train of thought was going. "Right over our hearts?" Sam nodded in agreement.

"Damn," John said as he looked at his family. "Why hasn't anyone else thought of this? It would save so many hunters from becoming possessed," he then looked at Sam, "And Sam, you and I need to have a little talk about these powers of yours and how to train them up."
