Section Six
Gia looked down at her phone to see Sam calling for the fourth time and rolled her eyes. She leaned on the nearest tree and picked up, "Hiya, Sammy. Find anything on Kevin?"
"Gia, i just got off the phone with Dean- well cut off actually-"
"Cut off?" She stiffened, instantly on alert. Her feet had a mind of their own as she began walking towards the house
"Yeah, cut off. I'm on my way but you might-"
"Yeah, Sammy, I'm on it. I'll call you back." Before he could answer she hung up
—
Huffing Dean prepared the move the body of the vampire he killed then looked up to see a second one looking straight at him. Glaring actually, and preparing to attack.
Before he could react at all a blade sliced through its neck decapitating him and his body fell to the ground revealing Gia. She huffed at Dean who was still bent over the first body, "You know. If you didn't make so much noise you'd probably stick around longer unseen."
"Probably." He sighed getting up and sending that infamous Winchester scowl her way, "I thought I told you to stay at the barge."
"Yeah, well, I was listening." She came over and helped him drag the first body away, "Until I got a call from your brother. That's new." She grunted, getting back up and looking at him, "Thought we were keeping Benny a secret?" She looked around, "Where is Benny anyway?"
"Things kinda went.. sideways." Dean cleared his throat, "They got him but I'm working on it."
"By calling Sam?" She rose her brow, "Sorry but he might take longer than you need." She smiled, "But I'm here for the rescue. Where do we start?"
Two more vampire angrily entered the room and Dean nodded over, "With them I'm guessing."
Purgatory Flashback
Dean shook his head at the conversation they were having, getting irritated, as the four of them walked through the forest "What the hell do you know about the value of life? You're a vampire."
"Yep. And I think we both know which of our kinds kills more humans."
Cas put his hand up, "Well, statistically speaking, that'd be your–"
"Yes, thank you, Cas." Dean quipped, shutting him up
Gia patted his shoulder, "Don't encourage them."
"I get it. You're worried what I might do if we make it topside. I'll start eating your little piggies. I already told you, man – by the time I got iced, I was strictly on blood transfusions, donated blood." He put his hands up, "Not donated to me, I'll give you that, but I paid good black-market scratch for it."
"So, what is that? Like the vampire Zone diet?" Dean mumbled
Benny walked in front of him and stopped, "Look, all I'm saying is I started seeing something in humanity, okay? Something that shouldn't be taken. I drink blood. I don't drink people."
"And why the hell should I believe you?"
"What does it matter what you believe?" Benny scoffed, "You got your head so far up your ass, Dean, you don't even realize we're already done for. The angel knows it." He motioned to Cas who'd gone stiff and was looking around, "We are never gonna make it with him next to us glowing like a beacon."
Dean glared, "Do I need to remind you of our deal? Of what you committed to?"
"God! Will you two shut up!" Gia yelled pushing them apart, "I'm so tired of hearing the same damn fight over and over again. The plans not hanging. Either get on board or shut the hell up."
Benny pointed, "He is gonna get us killed."
"We may get to test that theory…" Cass added spinning around looking at the sky
Gia and Dean looked at each other, "More monsters?"
Cass's face had paled more than it already was, "Leviathan."
"Why don't you blip out of here?"
"They're too close. I can't. Run."
Dean pulled Gia back when she was going to run straight into the foyer where Andrea was. She turned and eyed him curiously, "What?" She whispered looking around the corner, "There's only one. Easy peasy. We gotta find Benny, right?"
"That's Andrea." Dean motioned his head, "Something tells me Benny's handling business upstairs."
"Right…" Gia sighed then eyed the girl, "So they changed her. That's gotta hurt… or is it a good thing for him bad thing for us sorta deal?"
"I don't know. Guess we'll find out." Dean nodded over to Benny who'd come downstairs, walked past Andrea and laid a bloody knife on the harpsichord
"The old man is dead." He held out his hand, "Let's go."
Andrea took his hand but stayed where she was, "Where, Benny?"
"What are you talking about? Anywhere." He stiffened when she looked down and realization flooded him, "You're not leaving here, are you? And you never were."
"We have everything we need right here. The operation is still perfect. We can ride the high seas, plunder together. We can have the life we always wanted."
Gia looked up at Dean at that comment. Knowing if he chose that, they'd have to intervene.
"What I wanted was to leave a burning crater behind. I wanted to put your memory to rest."
Andrea looked up at him, "But I'm not a memory. Benny, I'm right here."
"What I loved– it ain't here anymore. It was snuffed out a long time ago by monsters like me... like what you've become."
Andrea angered and pulled her hand from his, "You think you're better than me now?"
"No. I think we're all damned."
Andrea snarled and her fangs descended. Gia and Dean came out and quickly Dean stabbed her from the back and then cut off her head. Benny and him looked at each other before Benny looked down at Andreas body.
"Well…" Gia sighed looking between everyone, "That could've gone better."
The walk to the boats was deafening with silence. Benny looked like he was battling with everything he's ever known. Which he probably was having just lost the love of his life for a second time.
When they made it to the dock Dean prepared the boat for launch. Benny turned to him almost angrily, "Why'd you do it, Dean?"
Dean eyed him warily, "Do what?"
"Resurrect me." He glared, "You could have drained my soul into any culvert, and no one would have been the wiser."
Dean got up and faced him, "What the hell are you talking about?"
"Benny…" Gia looked at him sadly, "You alright?"
Benny wiped his face, "I don't know what I am."
Purgatory Flashback:
The four of them continued running through the forest when something black and smokey hit the ground near Gia and Dean. Once the smoke cleared a massive form of goo transforms into a Leviathan.
Dean shook his head, "Oh, great."
The LEviathan ran towards them while Castiel took off in the opposite direction, but another hit the ground in front of him and became a second Leviathan. Gia dodge the mans first punch, ducking so Dean could hack at it with his machete, killing in. When they looked up Cas was about to get eaten by the second when Benny cut its head off and then offered the angel a hand to get up.
"Well," Gia got up quickly, "See what happens when we play like a team?"
As the three of them were in the boat and approached the dock Benny is steering and they look up to see Sam waiting. Dean threw the rope to him and tossed the bags onto the dock.
Dean stepped off the boat first followed by Benny who helped Gia. Then the two of them eyed each other at Sam's glare that was piercing Benny.
He cleared his throat, "I'm assuming this is brother Winchester?" He whispered to Gia who nodded her head, he offered his hand, "I'm Benny." Sam took it, "Heard a lot about you, Sam. From Dean and Sayorra. You should feel proud. It takes a lot for her to be impressed with anyone."
Sam carefully looked back at Dean as he undid the cover of a knife holster at his side with his other hand. A motion that both Benny and Gia noticed. Gia crossed her arms and glared and Dean shook his head signaling for Sam not to go there. His grip loosened and Benny let go of his hand.
Benny nodded, "I can see you two have a lot to talk about." He patted Dean on the arm and turned to Gia with a small smile, "It was mighty good workin with you again, darlin. Even if you ain't Purgatory best."
She smirked up at her old friend, "Ditto, partner. Just like old times." She gave him a tight hug and handed his bag off, "Glad you didn't die."
Benny laughed, "Ditto." Nodding at her he stepped between the brothers and walked away
