I let the arrow fly. It sank into the wendigo's middle and the freak of nature went up in flames with a haunting scream. Sam and Dean had watched in shock as I had jumped in between them and the approaching wendigo, slaying it emotionlessly. After the fire died down, I retrieved my arrow and placed it back where it belonged, looking to Sam and Dean. I paused seeing the look on Sam's face.

"What?" I asked him simply.

"You get completely robotic when you hunt, Abbi." Sam told me. "I mean you have this down to a science." He said.

"Since when is that a bad thing?" I asked him, Sam gave a sigh.

"I guess it isn't. Good job, Abbi." He told me, giving my arm an encouraging smack. I smiled and nodded.

"Alright, let's hit the road, guys." Dean said. I nodded again and led the way out of the cave.

We were at least two hours down the highway when my phone went off, earning me a glance from Dean. I didn't acknowledge it though. Pulling the phone out of my pocket I saw that it was from Loki.

Heya girly! The message read.

"Who is it, Abs?" Dean asked, I looked up at him.

"A friend, from when I lived with Miracle." I told him, Dean nodded returning his attention to the road. I then replied.

What's up Loki? I hit send and returned my look back to the passing forest. The scenery was particularly pretty. My phone buzzed again.

The usual, killing a candy stash in my ever incessant mission of putting Willy Wonka out of business. Loki replied. I smiled, laughing.

HEY! Don't out him out of business! Think about all the Oompa Loompas will have to go back to that horrid land of Loompa Land! Besides I like his candy too! I replied.

"Do you want to go to Miracle's Abs? All we have to do is go into Tennessee and cut through the Smokies." Dean told me. I looked at him from the phone

"Oh my gosh that would be great! I'll call her now!" I said, picking up the phone and dialing Miracle's number.

"Hello?" She asked.

"Hey Miracle, it's Abbi. We're not on the complete other side of the country for once and I was wondering if we could drop by to see you." I said. Miracle nearly squealed in delight.

"Oh that would be wonderful baby! When should you be here? Do I need to go to the store and get something for tonight?" She asked.

"Probably not because we're in Kentucky, no later than 8 pm tomorrow." I told her. Miracle squealed in delight again.

"Okay, baby, I'll see you tomorrow." She said.

"Bye, I love you." I told her.

"I love you too. You tell whoever is driving to be careful, you hear?" She asked in her maternal way, it made me smile.

"Okay." I told her and hung up, I looked to Dean.

"Miracle says be careful." I told him. Dean laughed.

"Of course I will." He said. My phone vibrated, reminding me that I had a waiting message from Loki. I opened his message.

LOL, you kill me! What about you though, Sam and Dean let you out or have you been toiling away in your hotel room? It read.

Nope, we had a Wendigo case; I got to whoop some ass this time around. Evidently efficient work worries Sam. I took out the beastie pretty fast and he gave me his concerned look, said I worked robotically. I replied, then returning my gaze out to the rolling planes of Kentucky.

Domo origoto Ms. Roboto! Loki teased, I could see the smirk on his face right then. I rolled my eyes, laughing.

Don't you roll your eyes at me, Abbi! The text went on.

I laughed too! I replied. Loki knew me too well…

Okay, I'll let you slide this time. I still can't believe Dean didn't totally murder you though. He wrote. I was too, of course it helped that Loki sent me back to right after I blew up at Dean.

I know he actually said I was right! Which really surprised me, he never gives that easy. I typed and hit send. I set my gaze out the scenery again. My phone went off again.

Weird, he isn't possessed, is he? Loki replied, I shook my head.

No, he had an anti-possession charm, friggin' tattooed onto his chest, Possession is impossible. I replied.

Hmm, weird. Maybe he's finally decided to listen. I mean, a person can only be a stubborn ass for so long, except for yours truly, of course. Loki replied after a few minutes.

S.M.H Dean along with yourself is an exception. Sam had told me Dean has always been like this. I replied.

HEY! You weren't supposed to agree to that! I snickered.

Then don't say it. I told him. I looked back out the window. It was twilight and I could make out the leaping forms of a herd of deer.

So what's on the agenda next, Abbi-nator? Loki asked, either referring to my 'robotic' ways of hunting or the fact that I tear through every monster or spirit I came face to face with; much like the 'Terminator.'

Nothing, Sam and Dean are taking me to see Miracle. I told him simply.

This is the woman who basically forked over her life savings to you when you left with Sam and Dean? Loki asked. I scowled a bit at the reply.

Don't make it sound like I conned her! I replied sourly. Loki took a few minutes to reply.

Sorry, why did she do that anyways? He asked.

Because when I came to her I was a trembling mess of twelve year old with big sad soulful blue eyes. I reminded her of her daughter, she freaking loves me. I love her too. When I think of my mother, all I can imagine is Miracle. I can't even remember what my birth mother looked like. I hit send and waited.

Wow that's deep. Your father told me when he told me about you that you actually look a lot like your birth mother. He replied. A question came to mind.

Why do you even work for him anyways? I asked Loki. Once more he took a few minutes to reply.

I don't know, it just feels right, I guess. It caused me to smile a little.

You're really one of a kind, Loki. I told him. I guess I fell asleep after that.

The sun in my face was what woke me. A second before I opened my eyes I thought I was at Bobby's, then I heard Dean snore. I opened my eyes, Dean had moved to the back. I then realized I was latched onto my cousin. I blushed some and gently pulled away, shrugging his arm off. He was stretched out, his legs under my own. Sam was stretched out up front, asleep. I gently got out of the Impala and stretched, checking my phone after that.

Thanks, Abbi. Was Loki's lone message. He really was one of a kind. I had never met someone like him.

I looked out over the water, then sat down at the river's edge and brought my wing around to my front to start preening. Pulling the loose feathers and situating the ones that needed to be fixed. I liked to think I had become relatively good at preening.

"Morning, kiddo!" Loki said out of nowhere, I didn't even look up.

"Hey Loki."

"What Gigantor and Mr. Macho still asleep?" He asked, looking over his shoulder at the Impala, I nodded.

"Yeah." I said simply. I had molted some, a few flight feathers now dotted my wings. They looked very pretty.

"Here let me help, there's a patch you can't really reach and it's looking pretty pathetic." Loki said, reaching around my back.

"Turn around, I'll be able to reach better." He told me, I did as he said.

"Wait, what do you know about preening?" I asked him. There was a silence; it caused my suspicions to heighten.

"Your dad taught me how; he said you would need help." He said, either his lying was getting bad or I was getting to know my way around his lies. I didn't say anything though. He worked through my feathers too well to have just learned how to preen. He tried to make it sloppy but his expertize was just too obvious.

"There." He said, pulling away.

"Thanks." I told him, I looked over at the Impala, I sensed movement. I turned to Loki, but he was already gone. Sam got out of the Impala and stretched, looking around, he then saw me. He made his way over to me, squinting curiously at the now visible feathers that dotted the ground around me.

"I preened, sorry." I said, gathering the strays absent mindedly. Sam sat down beside me.

"How long were we riding before Dean pulled over?" I asked him.

"A few hours. We're in the mountains now." Sam told me, I nodded.

"How long do you think we'll be up here before Dean wakes up?" I asked.

"Maybe a few more hours." We sat and talked for a while. I always really liked Sam he was pleasant to be around and wasn't too agitating, Dean could get that way though. It made me smile thinking about it.

Loki eventually started texting me again.

Is Gigantor still with you? He asked. I rolled my eyes.

"Try to be a little subtle next time…" I replied answering not completely straight forward.

Okay then kiddo. Loki confirmed.

At least attempt to not sound like a fully grown male. I told him; he replied with this.

OMFG, ABBI, I LOOOVE YOU SOO MUCH! How's that? He asked. I fell over laugh, Sam gave me a look.

"What's so funny?" He asked. I wiped a tear from my eye.

"This message, geez, my friends are crazy." I said, starting to reply to his message.

Really? I just DIED laughing. I replied, snapping the phone shut, still laughing.

"So are we going to meet this person, or what?" Sam asked, I looked to him.

"Oh, no he moved." I told him.

"He?" Sam asked again. "Shut up Sam." I told him, my phone went off.

Oh my gosh! Throw your body into the river! Sam and Dean can't burn you! Loki replied sarcastically, I laughed a little again.

You crack me up. I told him, shaking my head. Sam threw a rock into the river, we watched it skip across the surface a few times, and then sink down under the water.

Yeah, I know, what else am I here for? My amazing good looks can't do all the work. I smiled and started to reply.

Whatever Loki.
