Part 37 A common name….so not?

John Winchester was in shock. He had never expected to simply run into his sons. He sighed and said. "Well hello Samuel it is good to see you." He pulled his youngest into a hug.

Sam pulled back and resisted the urge to slug his father. He might deserve it but now was so not the time.

Dean stood there in shock. "What the hell. Dad what going on? I thought you wanted us to check up on Ira and Shelia?"

"I did but something came up last minute so I got to be here too. Anyway let's see if we can find their room." He turned away from Dean not wanting to get into a fight at least until he had the information he wanted.

The clerk smiled and decided that these folks had to be all right if they all came to see Dr. Rosenberg's seminar. It was fascinating but she knew most people might not like psychology. She wrote down the room number and handed it to John. "Dr. Rosenberg said he had family coming to visit so I guess that is you all. So here you go."

John took the note with a smile on his face. He was glad he had not had to lie to the girl she seemed nice enough.

Dean looked over at Sammy who simply shrugged they had to get lucky sometime right?

The three men headed for the elevator which lucky for them was just opening again.
Dean felt suddenly cold this was so not their normal luck.
The doors closed

"Wow this is just weird." Dean said.

John looked at his eldest and suddenly felt just as uneasy. He shifted his stance. Dean was right they were never this lucky. They left the elevator and the room they were looking for was nearby and all three heard a thump.

"Ah hell I knew it was too easy." Dean said.

"Quiet we don't know what to expect." He pulled a pistol and looked back surprised to see his sons do the same. He also noted that Dean pulled a badge.

"What the…" Well I'll worry about that later. "On three"

Dean nodded and said. "One-"

"Two" Sammy called out.

"Three "John said as he kicked in the door.

The demon spun around and laughed. "Well welcome to the party."

John froze and was almost knocked over as Dean and Samuel came in behind him both looked ready to kill.

"Damn Murphy just loves us." Sammy said clearly not happy.

Dean looked at his brother and shook his head resisting the urge to snark at him, he had a better idea. This was way too heavy to be screwing around. "Well I like parties."

The demon laughed. "Your son is amusing John. I can call you John. It's such a common name but still ….it suits you. Besides I feel as if we are intimately acquainted with me gutting, killing and burning your wife and all. What was her name ….ah Mary another common name. Then again Shelia and Ira are as well. Let me she if I can recall those boys names. Ah yes Dean and Samuel. Not as common unless of course you consider Samuel's name sake. Ah well, I seem to recall Ira and Shelia had a daughter as well. Her name was not so common what was it again? Hum It will come to me."

John growled and dove at the demon only to be thrown across the room.
Ira called out."Be careful he is wicked strong."

John hit the wall with a thump and rolled over he was pulling himself up and said. "Yeah think…Ira is Shelia?"

"She's alive just out for the moment which is good I think."

"Yeah, some family reunion, well it would have been."

Ira laughed sadly. "Yeah just glad Willow's not here."

Willow teleported them to the hotel. They went in quickly trying not to rush and cause a panic. She was feeling scared. Not since the last days of Sunnydale was she so worried. Ok maybe not even then. Maybe the last time was when Joyce was sick…. No she would not think about that. Her parents were alive and safe she was just over reacting. AH huh and pigs could fly without magic.

She ran to the desk.

"Hello, ah…I'm looking for my folks. Ira and Shelia Rosenberg; they are lecturing here at the conference."

The clerk looked up in shock.

Willow felt her heart skip a beat. This was so not good.

Willow waved her hand and saw what had happened through the clerks eyes. She hated doing that but time was of the essences she could feel it. She then stepped back and said. "Thank you." With a wave of her hands she teleported their group to her parents rooms and they popped in.

Ira called out. "Willow!" fear was clear in his voice.

The demon spun around and froze. He never connected the names and cursed. "Ah now I remember Willow. Your daughter's name was Willow."

"Yeah Rosenberg Willow Daniela Rosenberg at your service, well maybe your funeral service if you don't back the hell off, what the hell is going on here." She said with an angry scowl.

"Way to go with the quipping Will, " Xander said. "I mean that's first class. Don't yeah agree Buffy?"

"Oh yeah, and maybe the demon would like to introduce himself too. Yeah no so we can mark him off the list Giles has."

"Old Yellow eye's name it don't matter none he is a dead demon." Dean said raising the colt.

"So rude Dean, my name is Azazel, I am more than a mere demon. He smirked. As for names I must assume you are Buffy Anne Summers and Alexander Lavelle Harris. My sources told me the red witch was close to you the slayer and the white knight.
Xander winced as his full name was revealed to all. That demon was dead. He was clearly evil I mean why else would he use the name thing?

Buffy chuckled "Way to get on Xander's bad side. You know me I would just kill you. Xander well he is going to make it hurt for that. Not to mention what Willow will do. I mean touching our families….nah ha so not wise."

Azazel laughed. "Perhaps….another day, I must confess I don't have quite enough party favors for all. However not to be a spoil sport I shall leave you with a nice hot gift." He threw a fire ball at them. They all dove out of the way. And Azazel flamed out. He could fight them later at his own time.

Willow ran to her mother's side to check her out.

"Mommy are you ok?"

Shelia slowly came too.

"Willow…you are here…oh it's not safe baby…." She fainted again.

John moved to free Ira as his sons kept a wary eye on the new comers. He was alive due to their arrival that did not mean he was not going to watch them. He looked at Willow…damn this could be a problem because clearly Willow was a witch and given the way the group had popped in well she had power.

Ira fell off the chair and scrambled to his wife and daughter's sides he pulled them close and said a prayer of thanksgiving and relief. He looked up at John who sighed.
Dean cursed why was Murphy never on their side? "Damn Willow's a witch."

"Yeah, so," Xander said his protective instincts reared its head.

Dean froze the look in Xander eyes froze him in place.

Sammy glared. "Not now Dean." He pulled something from his pocket and ripped it open and poured it on the ground.

"What the what?"

"Salt to keep old yellow eyes out, I'm thinking we need to talk so…."

"Yeah good idea, have any more?"

Sam sighed and handed Xander some. He was rather surprised when it did not burn the guy. Ok so maybe it's not so bad.

Dean watched warily as Xander covered the window's sill with salt.

"Ok how about someone explain why an upper level demon is messing with Willow's folks?" Buffy asked.

John glared at her.

Buffy simply folded her arms no mere human was going to keep her from keeping Willow and her family safe. "Get with the splainy Mr."
