Smart Alec

Wendy held her hands out in front of her steering her imaginary car as Dean pushed her wheelchair down the hallway to Bobby's room.

"Vrrmmvrrrmmm, screeeeech" she went as Dean turned the corner arriving in front of Bobby's room, after she told them what had happened in the waiting room, she'd asked what she'd missed and they told her Bobby was in the hospital, she could tell they were keeping something from her but she didn't push it.

Dean shook his head and chuckled as he pushed her into the room.

"Hey Bobby, how you doing?" asked Dean.

"Well I ain't gonna be doing the hokey pokey anytime soon." said Bobby frustratedly before sighing. "other than that I'm just peachy, hi Wendy."

"Hi Bobby." replied Wendy with a grin as her hyperactive imagination shot straight to Bobby doing the hokey pokey.

"I uh, I got a message from my Aunt for you, she said to tell you. . she said that week in Housten was the best week of her life." said Wendy, doing her best to keep her imagination away from the images it was trying to conjure up.

"Why Bobby you sly dog you." said Dean as he looked at Bobby and grinned.

Bobby looked up as he grinned. "Best damn week of my life too." he said.

"ugh, I don't even want to imagine." said Dean with a mock shudder.

"Hey I was young too. . . once." said Bobby with a laugh.

"Hey guys, what's up?" asked Sam as he walked into the room.

The trio in the room just grinned at him making him take a step back. "Do I have toothpaste on my face or something?" he asked, wiping his face making them grin even wider. "I'll come back when you guys are a little less creepy." said Sam as he walked backwards out of the room and into the hallway, making the trio in the room burst out laughing

Wendy sat on her hospital bed with a mirror trying to see her back. There were no tatoos on her left side so she figured they must be on the right, but with her eye gone, it was impossible to see anything on the right side of her back with the tiny mirror. She'd been trying not to think about the loss of her eye, but it hit home when she couldn't see her back. She held the mirror up to her face and looked at the scar, tears filled her good eye as she ran a hand over it. She hadn't slept from the time she woke up from the coma, she was terrified that if she went to sleep, she'd wake up in that bathroom again and lose her other eye.

She took a deep breath as she tried not to cry, she hated crying, it made her feel weak, but she caught sight of her scarred face in the mirror again and the dam burst. She buried her face in her knees as she wrapped her arms around her legs. She didn't hear the quiet footfalls as someone walked over to the bed and touched her on the arm. She jumped as she looked up hurridly wiping her eyes.

"Are you in pain? Should I call the doctor?" asked Cas as he looked down at her, his face full of concern. Wendy sniffed as she ran a hand over her face.

"It's ok Cas, it's not a pain the doctor can cure." she said, giving a half-hearted attempt at a grin.

"So what did I miss, what happened after you came back?" she asked as Cas sat in the chair next to her bed.

"They haven't told you?"

"No, they keep skimming over the subject whenever I ask."

"I'm not sure I should. . ." began Cas.

"Please Cas, I'm dying of curiosity here." said Wendy.

"I don't .. . "

"Plleeeaaasssseeeee." begged Wendy as she clasped her hands under her chin and attempted to give him her impression of puppy eyes. To her dismay tears filled her good eye as she realised she'd never be able to do it with both eyes again. She hurridly wiped away an errant tear.

"It seems curiosity is causing you physical pain." said Cas making Wendy chuckle as she sniffed, he was so clueless it was cute, like a puppy that couldn't understand why his owner had to leave for the day.

Cas filled her in on what had happened after he pulled her out of the waiting room.

"So you're telling me that Sam set Lucifer free by accident because Lillith was the last seal, Ruby was some kind of evil genius mastermind, Dean is the vessel for a super charged arc-angel and you were dead for a while and something brought you back and there are angels who want the apocalypse to happen." said Wendy resting her chin on her knees as she processed the information.

"That about sums it up." said Dean from the doorway as he walked into the room. "Way to go Cas, you couldn't let one of us tell her when we were ready?"

"She was in physical pain due to her curiosity, I was . . .compelled to tell her." said Cas turning to look at Dean. Dean looked up at Wendy. "What's he talking about?" he asked. They both looked back at Cas and realised the chair was empty, Cas had vanished on them.

"Whoa, I'll never get used to that." said Wendy shaking her head, Dean walked closer and noticed her eye was red and there were tear-tracks on her face.

"What's wrong?" he asked as he sat on the bed next to her.

"What do you mean?" she asked.

"you were crying." he said with a frown running a hand over her cheek rubbing away the tear tracks.

"I's just being silly." she replied as she looked down. Dean cleared his throat before he asked.

"So while you were in that coma, aside from the waiting room, did you see anything else?" asked Dean, he'd been itching to ask her if the dream had really been real or if it had really been just a dream. Wendy shot him a sidelong glance, as soon as he'd sat next to her, her heart began racing, it was crazy how just being near him could affect her this way. She was glad they'd disconnected the heart monitor, it would probably have exploded.

"The waiting room was pretty much all I saw." she said, without looking at him. She knew how she felt about him, she'd fallen and dammit she'd fallen hard. But so much had happened whilst she was in the coma she wasn't sure if he still felt the same way he'd said in the dream, she was giving him the option of pretending it had never happened. She hadn't counted on the wave of disappointment she felt rolling off of him.

"I see." said Dean trying to mask his disappointment. "I'll just go check on Bobby." said Dean as he tried to hide his disappointment. He got up and walked to the door. Wendy's took a deep breath as she called out.

"I picked Alec cuz you're such a smart alec half the time."

Dean whirled around and looked at her. She bit her bottom lip as she waited to see how he would react. He broke into a happy grin and practically ran back to the bed. The next thing she knew his lips were on hers and his arms were around her. She cupped the back of his head, tangling her fingers in his hair as his lips carressed hers washing away her earlier fears.

Dean broke the kiss and pulled away so he could look into her eye as he sat on the bed next to her, keeping one hand on her neck and the other on her shoulder.

"Why'd you pretend you didn't remember earlier?" he asked softly.

"I. .. I wasn't sure if you still felt the same as that day, so much has happened down here since then and I . . . wasn't sure if you'd want to be with someone who looks like a pirates of the Caribbean extra." she said gesturing to her eye as she shot him a half smile, trying to cover up the pain she felt inside at the loss of her eye and how deformed it made her feel.

He pressed his lips to hers again as he pulled her sideways in his lap. His lips left hers and he gently kissed her sealed eye. "I couldn't care less about how you look, besides I think you'd make a really cute pirate." he said as he gazed down at her, his penetrating gaze filled with sincerity. Wendy smiled as her heart swelled in her chest, she was afraid it would jump out of her chest at any moment. Her eyes filled with happy tears as she gazed at him. He gently pressed his lips to her cheeks, kissing her tears away before he claimed her lips again in a tender kiss. Wendy sniffled as she kissed him back back, she was so happy he hadn't taken the out she'd offered him. One of his hands curled around her waist, pressing her to him as the other ran cupped her face.

Suddenly they heard a loud noise in the doorway and they both turned to look. They saw a nurse standing there, her clipboard had fallen to the floor.

"Aren't you her brother?" asked the nurse as she twisted her face and took a step back.

"Well, you see, I uh . . .help me out here." said Dean turning to Wendy, alarm on his face, the way the stocky, elderly nurse was glaring at him was quite intimidating.

"He's my uh . . step-brother, doesn't really count." said Wendy hoping she sounded convincing.

"Uh huh." said the nurse looking skeptical as she picked up her clipboard. "I was just coming to tell you, the Doctor says you can leave whenever you're ready, you're fully recovered from your operations and all your wounds are closed, she would have come herself but she was called into surgery a few minutes ago." said the nurse before Sam walked into the room.

"I suppose he's your step-brother too?" said the nurse raising an eyebrow and pointing at Sam, before stalking off not waiting for a response.

"What's going on?" asked Sam as he moved to the side to give the nurse room to leave.

Wendy and Dean looked at each other and burst out laughing. Sam shook his head, "I don't even know why I bother walking into hospital rooms anymore." he mumbled to himself before bursting into a grin as he saw Dean tilt Wendy's face to him again pulling her in for a long, slow kiss. It was good to see his brother smiling considering everything that had happened, he slowly backed out of the room and decided to go see if Bobby had been discharged yet.
