You're a functioning. . . morons

a few weeks later. .. .

Ari knew she shouldn't be trying to eavesdrop but she couldn't help it. She had to hear what the human was saying to Sam. She'd developed an attachment to the younger Winchester and had sensed that he was in danger earlier, however when she'd gotten to the trio, they were already safe, having enlisted help from fans of the supernatural series being written by the prophet. She'd tried to understand what was going on, but these humans and their ways were not entirely comprehensible with their talk of bungees, larping and evil chucky look alikes. She found herself wishing that humans came with manuals to interprete even half of the things that they said and did. All she was acutely aware of right now was that the human known as Becky was very attracted to Sam and was standing a little too close to him right now for Ari's liking.

Wendy leaned against the Impala, waiting for the boys as she watched Ari pretend that she wasn't watching Sam. The ambulance was just driving away and the police were getting ready to leave. Wendy grinned to herself, one thing was for certain, the next time there was a supernatural convention, Chuck would find it pretty hard to top an actual ghost appearance. Dean walked over to her wearing a large grin as he bent down, grabbed her waist and put her to sit on the hood of the car before turning around with his back facing her as he took hold of her arms and wrapped them around around his waist.

"Someone's in a good mood." said Wendy chuckling as he put his hands over hers and she rested her chin on his shoulder so she could see his gorgeous face.

"Turns out, our job is a lot cooler than I initially thought." said Dean smiling as he waved at Barnes and Damien as they walked towards their car hand in hand.

"Superheroes do tend to have cool job descriptions." she said as she planted a kiss on his cheek. "And you just happen to be the greatest superhero ever."Dean grinned as he turned his face towards her, their noses fractions of an inch apart.

"Even greater than batman?" he teased with a grin. Wendy pretended to think about it as she tilted her head to the side and looked up at the sky.

"Weeell, maybe if we get you a cape. .." she began, as he cut her off by pressing a soft kiss to her lips. He pulled back with a chuckle.

"No way I'm wearing a cape." he said before kissing her softly again.

"hmmm...what about tights?" asked Wendy, giggling as a vision of Dean striking a pose in a pair of tights came to mind.

"I'd shave my head and tatoo a teletubby on it before I ever wear tights." said Dean, mock horror on his face as he gazed at her. She leaned in and kissed the tip of his nose.

"Don't worry, you still have your trusty bat-mobile." said Wendy, grinning broadly

" True that, where's Sam or should I say Robin?" he asked as he looked around.

"Over there, being oogled by Ari and gently let down by Becky." Said Wendy, pointing with her chin, Dean still had her hands in his around his waist. "Seriously?" asked Dean as he turned to look. Dean chuckled as he leaned against her, caressing her hands in his, savoring the feeling of being wrapped up in her.

He saw the angel standing a few feet away from Becky and Sam, near a tree, gazing intently at Sam. She'd given up all pretenses of not listening as she tried to understand the things Becky was saying, how could a monkey get on the sun? She gave up after hearing Becky telling Sam something about yings and proud yangs.

Ari turned to ask Wendy if she could explain when she saw her and Dean lost in their own world. Wendy's arms were wrapped around Dean and he was leaning against her as they spoke quietly, their faces inches away from each other. Every so often they would burst out laughing and kisses were exchanged. She and Wendy had become friends over the short time that they'd known each other, Wendy was very patient and would often explain the weird things that other people would say, bringing the angel a little closer each day to understanding why they did what they did. Once Wendy had tried to explain to Ari how Dean made her feel, but she didn't have words to describe it and after a lot of stammering and vocabulary searching, she described it as "more than awesome and better than a giant fudgesicle on a hot day".

Ari felt a small smile tugging at the corners of her mouth, anyone could see the pair were in love and it was heartwarming and infectious. She sighed softly as she watched them, feeling a small pang, the luxury of romantic love and soulmates was for humans, not angels. Suddenly Sam walked up behind her.

"Cute aren't they?" he asked, rolling his eyes as they watched the pair, who were oblivious to the outside world.

"They are clearly in love and it's . . . beautiful." said Ari almost a little wistfully as she tore her eyes away from them and looked at Sam. He was still watching Wendy and Dean, a half smile on his face at how happy they looked. Ari felt something she'd never felt before, her insides felt like they were fluttering as she looked up at the tall hunter. She almost stopped breathing when he looked down at her wearing a crooked grin. She started to wonder if maybe she was ill, she decided that she would ask Wendy about it later.

"I suppose it is." he said. " I found out something interesting, come on, let's go." he said absentmindedly grabbing her hand as they walked over to Wendy and Dean.

"Hey guys, guess what I just found out." called out Sam as they approached the car.

"What'd you find out?" asked Wendy.

"You're not gonna believe it, but I got a lead on the colt." said Sam.

"What?" asked Dean.

Sam told them what Becky had told them, about Bella giving the colt to the demon Crowley. Ari knew that what Sam was saying was important but she wasn't paying attention. From the time he'd taken her hand, she had been staring at it, a small jolt had coursed through her, it was not unpleasant, but actually felt quite good. . . Her hand fitted in his perfectly. She'd never held hands before but she decided she liked it. Wendy caught her eye and winked at her with a broad grin. Ari smiled and looked down as she tightened her grip on Sam's hand.

After getting the colt from Crowley . .. .

Wendy watched in amusement as Cas downed shot after shot then nodded. "I think I'm starting to feel something." he commented. Ellen, Jo and Wendy looked at each other and laughed. Wendy walked over to the boys who were sitting at the table, she got there as they were clinking their beers.

"What's the occasion?" she asked as she moved to sit on the chair next to Dean, but he quickly put his feet on the chair and winked at her as he patted his lap. She shook her head and chuckled before sliding into his lap and wrapping an arm around his neck, kissing him on the cheek as she sat.

"We're celebrating Sammy's 9th step in Demon Trusters Anonymous." said Dean.

"And Dean's unrelenting support." said Sam.

"We were just discussing it and even though this thing smells a lot like a trap, there are a whole bunch of signs putting the devil in the location Crowley gave us." said Dean handing Wendy the sheaf of papers he'd put together. Wendy leafed through the papers as Dean began to speak again.

"I dont' want you guys to come tomorrow, I think it'll be best if you guys stay here with Bobby and Annabelle, you know hold down the fort." said Dean.

"What?" asked Wendy in suprise.

"Dean, we've gone through this, I'm coming." said Sam shooting a glare at his brother.

"So am I, I'm not going to stay here and. .. " she began, but Sam cut her off.

"Wendy he's right, you should stay here."

"Why does he get to go and I don't?" asked Wendy turning to Dean.

"Because it's too dangerous for you." said Dean. "If something happens to him or me, we're both vessels, something on some side will fix us up so they can use us, but if anything happens to you I . ." said Dean shaking his head as he broke off, unable to continue

"I know what you guys saw in the future, and we've changed a lot of stuff since then, but that doesn't mean you're not in danger anymore." said Sam softly.

"Guys I. .."

"No Wendy." said the boys in unison firmly. Wendy looked at each of them in turn and felt how worried they were about her, her indignancy faded and she felt touched.

"Fine, I'll wait here, but you guys better come back in one piece." she said with a small huff that she didn't really feel anymore.

"Deal." said Dean with a grin as he kissed her forehead, glad that she wasn't going to push it anymore, because truth be told as much as he hated the idea of her going with them to face off the devil, he also hated the idea of being away from her for any period of time. He knew he should probably be worried, or even a little scared at how addicted he was to her, but he didn't care. Suddenly a fluttering sound filled the room and Arianna appeared behind Sam.

"Hey Ari." said Wendy as Dean waved at her. Ari nodded at them before touching Sam's shoulder.

"Sam, can I talk to you?" she asked.

"Sure." said Sam as he stood up and they walked out onto Bobby's porch.

"You guys better be super careful tomorrow." said Wendy as she ran her fingers through Dean's hair.

"Hey careful's my middle name." said Dean.

"hmmm, Dean Careful Winchester, it's got a certain ring to it, but I still prefer Alec." said Wendy, grinning at him. Dean laughed as he took a sip from his beer before placing it on the table next to them.

"You're not mad right?" asked Dean, a little apprehensively.

"No, I get it, and I actually think it's sweet, a little. .. not so sweet, but mainly sweet." said Wendy looking off to the side as she tried to make sense of what she was saying. "You know what I mean." she said as she looked back at him.

"Yeah, I get it." said Dean with a grin.

"But out of curiosity, what would you have done if I were mad?" asked Wendy, still playing in his hair.

"Maybe I'd just have to do a little of this." said Dean as he softly kissed her on the lips. "And a little of this." as he moved to her jawline. "Then maybe a little of this." as he moved to the side of her neck, kissing it softly before gently sucking on it as he wrapped his arms around her waist.

"mmm, maybe I should get mad at you." whispered Wendy in his ear, making him grin against her skin.

"Hey, get a room you two" yelled Jo from across the room.

"Thanks for the idea." called back Dean with a grin as he continued planting soft kisses on her neck. Suddenly Wendy let out a small suprised yelp as Dean slid one hand under her thighs and the other around her back as he stood up quickly, picking her up bridal style.

"I think me and my lady friend here will go upstairs and have a. . uh. . ." began Dean, trailing off as he tried to find something suitable to say.

"a civilized tea party." said Wendy, wrapping her arms around his neck.

"Yes, we're going to have a teaparty, did you bring the teapot dear?" asked Dean in a faux English accent.

'Yes luv, it's under the bed, right next to the scones." replied Wendy, also with a faux english accent.

"Cheerio folks, have a fun evening, for tomorrow we hunt the bloody devil." said Dean continuing his fake accent as he carried a laughing Wendy up the stairs to the room Bobby had put them in.

"Idjits." commented Bobby shaking his head as he smiled at the retreating pair before sipping his beer and turning to look at Aunt Annabelle who was sitting next to Ellen watching Cas drink. His smile widened as she turned to look at him and winked at him, before beckoning him with her hand.

So next chapter will pick up directly where this one left off, with Sam and Ari in the balcony and Dean and Wendy continuing their uh. .. teaparty ^_^.

I loved the part of this episode where Crowley calls the boys functioning morons and Dean goes "You're a functioning. .. morons" hence the title.

Thanks for all the reviews guys, and the favs and alerts, they make my day! You guys rock!
