Gabyhyatt, thanks for your review. I was getting worried that no-one was reading this anymore! Glad you liked the fact that Dana survived. To be fair, I didn't focus on developing her that character that much, but she worked for the shock factor for Dean...that moment of wondering whether Melinda had just turned evil.

This chapter is more of an epilogue and is short. It sets up things for the next story really. If you want me to post that, I'd love to hear it in feedback. I'll probably share it anyway since it's written but I'd really like the feedback to know whether people want to read it.

Chapter 14

"I say we go for it." Wyatt nodded his head. He was in the kitchen of the Manor with Chris, Melinda, Dean and Sam. They'd called him over first thing in the morning so Melinda could apologize.

Since Wyatt had been able to sleep on it and hug his daughter, he'd relaxed a little about the whole situation. He was able to forgive Melinda for what she did. After all, she wasn't herself. Once he found out Sam's idea to kill Crowley, Wyatt was all onboard.

"No-one attacks my sister and gets away with it," Wyatt shook his head and then looked at Chris, "What do you say?"

"Sam had me as soon as he said to kill Crowley," Chris nodded his head and then looked at Melinda, "What about you, sis."

"Let's get this son of a bitch," She agreed and looked at Dean, "I'm guessing this means we're staying here?"

"For the time being," Dean nodded his head, "We need to work together to do this. Crowley isn't going to come to us willingly. He'll know that we're gonna be after him now."

"I want in on this one." A young female voice said. Poppy had come storming into the kitchen, with Pru and Riley behind her.

"Poppy, I said..."

"That bastard tried to turn me evil. I want to get him."

Dean smirked at the 16-year-old and nodded his head, "Fine by me."

"No way!" Pru shook her head, "This is my baby sister," and then she turned to Wyatt and Chris for support, "You can't agree with them. You know how protective you are of Mel..."

"I'm doing this, Pru." Poppy argued.

"She needs to learn how to fight, Pru," Wyatt shook his head, "And learning with us around is better than her going off alone. If she wants to help vanquish this sorry son of a bitch, then I'm all for it. We could use all the help we could get right now."

Pru was out numbered. She realized that after Wyatt spoke. Everyone was on Poppy's side. She knew that her little sister had to learn to fight demons somehow, but she didn't want it to be this way or right now. Poppy had just recovered from a stint at being turned evil and she was still just 16. The last thing Pru wanted was for her baby sister to grow up right now.

"So, I've got some information on Crowley and Bobby does too," Sam explained, "But there's still a lot more to go through."

"Where do we start?" Chris asked. It was time to get the son of a bitch.

Melinda walked into her apartment and looked around. She was surprised at how clean it was. When she said Sam could stay there while she was on the road, she expected to come back to clothes everywhere and it generally looking like a boy's place. It turned out that Sam was much tidier than Dean. In fact, Sam was much tidier than herself!

Speaking of Dean, he walked in with a large pizza box, and shut the apartment door behind him. Sam had decided to move back into the Halliwell Manor for the time being, mentioning something about finding his own place later. It allowed Mel to move back into hers, and spend time with Dean on her own. The two wanted time alone after the horror of the last couple of days.

Dean put the pizza on the coffee table, while Melinda grabbed a couple of beers from the fridge. They sat down together to eat, and it felt like everything was falling into place.

"Do you think we can do it?" she asked, looking over at Dean to see him tucking into the slice of pizza, "Do you think we can really kill Crowley?"

"Of course we can," Dean nodded his head, speaking with a mouthful of food, "And we will do."

Dean wasn't in the mood to discuss Crowley anymore. They'd been talking about it all afternoon, coming up with a basic plan of attack for now. It didn't quite involve getting to wherever Crowley was and killing him, but it did involve finding out more about him. Sam, Chris and Poppy were going to head the research. Dean and Melinda would just be ready when it came to formulating a real plan to kill the sucker.

Right now, all Dean wanted to do was sit back and relax. He wanted to enjoy food and alcohol with his girlfriend, and worry about the world tomorrow. Melinda wasn't too certain. She needed to run through this again.

Dean sighed and put his pizza slice back in the box and then his beer on the table. He grabbed Melinda's beer and pizza, placing them on the coffee table before he kissed her hard.

"Will you please stop thinking about this?" He asked her, "We can't do anything about him right now, so stop running through it. Let's enjoy a night together. Let's celebrate saving your damn fine ass."

Melinda laughed and kissed Dean gently, "You're right."

The two went back to their pizza and beer. About halfway through the food, Melinda turned to Dean with a small smile.

"You know, we've saved each other's asses now," she pointed out, "I guess we're even."

"I guess we are." Dean smirked and then kissed her hard again, "So is it your turn to save my ass, then?"

"I guess it is," Melinda nodded, "Good job it's an ass worth saving."

Dean raised his eyebrows at that remark and pulled Melinda in for a kiss. He could get used to this. Could that come once they get rid of Crowley? Deep down, Dean Winchester was certainly hoping so.

So, there we have it. The second story in this Dean/Melinda universe. What did you think? I'd love to hear from you.
