Authors Note: I just want to first thank all of you who continue to review. It means the world to me! I am dedicating this chapter to londonalozzy for her 23rd birthday. Happy Birthday! I hope you like!

On the way back to Bobby's, Dean and Lauren decided to get a motel for the night so they could get a little extra sleep before driving the rest of the two hundred miles. Lauren knew that as soon as she got back Dean would make her stay behind and that meant many nights of being up with Bailey as she cried for her daddy.

They went inside a cheep motel and got a room for the night. They headed around the building to their room and out side was a man trying to spread the word of God. "Excuse me, friends, but have you taken time out to think about God's plan for you?" a man standing outside asked them.

Dean and Lauren looked at each other and Dean turned back to the man. "Too friggin' much, pal." He said and he and Lauren walked into the building.

Lauren stepped out of the shower and saw Dean was on the phone. She hoped it was Sam but she knew it wasn't. Dean was still being hard headed. They both were.

"We are in Kansas City. Century Hotel, room 113."…. "Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. No, no, come on, man. I just drove like sixteen hours straight, okay? I'm human. And there's stuff I got to do. I need to eat, for example. In this case, sleep and if I don't have a decent conversation with Lauren she is going to kick my ass." Dean said to Castiel and Lauren smiled, "You can pop in tomorrow morning." Dean said and hung up the phone.

"Do you think he gets lonely?" Lauren asked as she ran the towel through her hair.

"I don't know." Dean said and opened a beer.

"You don't ever ask him?" Lauren asked.

"Nope."

"Why not? You are with him all the time."

"So….we have other things we talk about and plus guys don't sit around asking each other if they are lonely or not." Dean said. "I can just see it now, so you find the devil yet oh and by the way….are you lonely?" Dean joked.

"That's cute but maybe you should ask him sometime." Lauren said and climbed into the bed. "You are like his only friend."

"Angels don't have friends." Dean said and pulled back the covers and got in the bed next to her and smiled, "So do you think Trixie is in the mood to go another round?" he asked with a smirk on his face.

Lauren laughed a little, "I think Trixie has retired."

"What about Lauren? I haven't had her in awhile." Dean said and wrapped his arms around her tight.

"Ask me in the morning." She smiled, "Goodnight, Dean." She said and gave him a kiss.

"Night." He said and turned out the light.

4 am

Lauren was curled up next to Dean fast asleep when they both woke up to Dean's phone buzzing on the side table. "Dean….phone." Lauren mumbled.

"Let it ring." Dean groaned.

"Just get it." She said and turned over to her other side.

Dean sighed and reached for his phone and answered, "Damn it, Cas, we need to sleep!"

"Dean, it's me."

"Sam? It's quarter past four."

"This is important."

Lauren sat up and watched as Dean got out of the bed, "Is Sam ok?" she asked.

Dean just shrugged as Dean listened to Sam, "So, you're his vessel, huh? Lucifer's wearing you to the prom?" Dean said and sat down in the chair.

"That's what he said."

"Just when you thought you were out, they pull you back in, huh, Sammy?"

"So, that's it? That's your response?"

"What are you looking for?"

"I don't know. A little panic? Maybe?"

"I guess I'm a little numb to the earth-shattering revelations at this point." Dean said. Lauren got out of bed and slipped her jeans back on. She felt bad that Sam just found out Lucifer wanted him and Dean seemed like he couldn't care less and it was all because of her. She had ruined their relationship all because she stood there and let Sam take the fall for what she had done. Dean needed to know the truth and she needed to tell him before it was too late.

"What do you want to do about it?" Dean asked Sam.

"I want back in, for starters. I mean it. I am sick of being a puppet to these sons of bitches. I'm gonna hunt him down, Dean. "

"Oh, so, we're back to revenge, then, are we? Yeah, 'cause that worked out so well last time." Dean said and looked up at Lauren who was looking at him.

"Not revenge. Redemption."

"So, what, you're just gonna walk back in and we're gonna be the dynamic duo again?"

"Look, Dean, I can do this. I can. I'm gonna prove it to you."

Look, Sam it doesn't matter whatever we do. I mean, it turns out that you and me, we're the, uh, the fire and the oil of the Armageddon. You know, on that basis alone, we should just pick a hemisphere. Stay away from each other for good."

"Dean, it does not have to be like this. We can fight it."

"Yeah, you're right. We can. But not together." Dean said and Lauren felt her heart break. "We're not stronger when we're together, Sam. I think we're weaker. Because whatever we have between us, love, family, whatever it is they are always gonna use it against us. And you know that. Yeah, we're better off apart. We got a better chance of dodging Lucifer and Michael and this whole damn thing, if we just go our own ways."

"Dean, don't do this."

"Bye, Sam." Dean said and hung up the phone.

"Dean, call him back." Lauren said. "If he wants back in then let him back in."

"Lauren….I really don't want to talk about this right now with you. I am not going to change my mind."

"You can just leave him out there alone! He needs you!" she yelled.

"Well then I guess he should have thought before." Dean said and lay back down.

"So that's it? What you say goes?" she asked.

"Yep." He said and closed his eyes, "You need to get some sleep. You can yell and bitch at me in the morning."

Lauren stood there and watched as Dean drifted off to sleep. Something had to give. They all could not live like this forever. Who knew what the future would be like?

Three hours later

When Lauren woke up, she felt a sharp pain in her back. "What the hell?" she said and sat up. When she looked around the room everything was different. "Dean….Dean get up!" She said.

When Dean opened his eyes he was shocked. The room was trashed and when he looked down he saw they were no longer on a mattress. "What the hell?"

"That's what I said." Lauren said and they both good up. Dean walked over to the window and saw the city was a mess. "We need to get out of here." Dean said and they both ran out of the room to see what was going on.

When they walked out the saw a sign on a fence read:

CROATOAN VIRUS: HOT ZONE
NO ENTRY BY ORDER OF ACTING REGIONAL COMMAND
AUGUST 1, 2014, KANSAS CITY

"August first, 2014?" Dean said and looked at Lauren.

"Dean, what is going on around here?" Lauren asked and wrapped her arms around herself.

"I don't know but we need to get to Bobby's." Dean said and looked across the street, "What the hell happened to my damn car?" he asked and ran across the street.

"Something is seriously wrong here." Lauren said.

Dean huffed and walked over to another old car and opened the door, "Looks likes this is our new ride. I can't believe this shit!" he yelled and they both got inside.

Dean was driving and Lauren was still trying to get her cell phone to work so she could get in touch with Missouri. She was worried about Bailey and just wanted to get back to her baby. "Croatoan pandemic reaches Australia." Dean and Lauren looked behind them to see Zachariah sitting in the back with a newspaper.

"I thought I smelled your stink on this Back to the Future crap!" Dean said.

"President Palin defends bombing of Houston." Certainly a buyer's market in real estate. Let's see what's happening in sports. That's right…..no more sports. Congress revoked the right to group assembly. What's left of Congress, that is. Hardly a quorum, if you ask me." He said.

"How did you find me?" Dean asked.

"Afraid we had to tap some unorthodox resources of late human informants. We've been making inspirational visits to the fringier Christian groups. They've been given your image, told to keep an eye out."

"The Bible freak outside the motel" Lauren said.

"Onward, Christian soldiers." He smirked at her.

"Okay, well, good, great. You have had your jollies. Now send us back, you son of a bitch!" Dean yelled

"Oh, you'll get back…..all in good time. We want you both to marinate a bit."

"She has nothing to do with his!" Dean snapped.

"Of course she does. She's with you isn't she? We want you both to see where this course of action takes you."

"What's that supposed to mean?" Dean asked.

"It means that your choices have consequences. This is what happens to the world if you continue to say "no" to Michael. Have a little look-see." Zac said and was gone.

"Wow you were right, most angels are dicks!" Lauren said. "If we are here then where is everyone else?" Lauren worried about her daughter.

"I'm sure everyone is just fine." Dean said but he was only saying that to keep her calm. He had no clue if anyone else was still alive, including their daughter.

xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo

When they got to Bobby's, Dean opened the door and Lauren ran inside, "Missouri! Bobby!" she yelled.

Bobby? Bobby!" Dean yelled and the two looked around.

The place was trashed and from all the spider webs and dust, no one has been around in a while. "Oh, no." Dean said when he saw Bobby's wheelchair was on its side. Dean sat it upright and saw the bullet holes and dried blood on the back of the seat. "Where is everybody?" he said.

Lauren covered mouth and began to cry. "Where's my baby, Dean?" she cried.

Dean walked over to her and put his arms around here, "Shhh, I'm sure she is fine. She's our after all. We just need to find where everyone went. It's going to be ok. Remember this isn't real. This is not our time and it will never be. Just remember that."

Lauren nodded and pulled away then held out a picture, "I found this upstairs in our room." She said and handed Dean the picture. It was a photo of them, Bobby, Castiel, and three other men in front of a sign. "Camp Chitaqua."

"You think they are there?" Lauren asked.

"Its worth a shot." Dean said.

xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo

Dean and Lauren walked slowly toward the camp. "Stay behind me." Dean said when he saw a few men with guns. They moved in carefully and tried to stay out of sight.

When they were farther inside, Dean catches sight of the Impala, smashed up and rusted to hell. "Oh, baby, no." Dean said and they approached the Impala for a better look at the damage, peering inside the driver's side door. "I think I am going to cry." Dean said.

"Get a grip." Lauren said. "We need to find your other baby." Lauren rolled her eyes.

Dean just kept looking at the car, "Oh, no, baby, what did they do to you?" Lauren heard something and was shocked at what she saw. Dean heard Lauren yelp and he barely turned to look when he was knocked out cold.

Lauren slowly opened her eyes and saw what looked like Dean cleaning a gun. She head footsteps behind her and just as she turned her heard she saw herself next to another Dean she was cuffed next to, "Rise and shin sweetheart." She said and tapped him on the cheeks before walking over to the table next to the other Dean. When Lauren looked at her she knew it was herself but she was different. She was thinner with longer, darker hair and she looked like she had not slept in days.

"What the hell?" Present Dean said when he opened his eye and saw another him and Lauren glaring at him.

"I was about to ask the same thing." Present Lauren said and looked over to the other couple.

Dean looked over at her and saw a scratch on her face, "Are you ok?" he asked.

"Peachy."

"Ok you two shut up! In fact, why don't you give us one good reason why we shouldn't gank you right here and now?" Future Dean said.

"Because you'd only be hurting yourselves." Dean smiled. "Look, man and…uh,Lauren, we are no shape shifter or demon or anything, okay?"

"Yeah, I know. We did the drill while you were out. Silver, salt, holy water….nothing. But you know what was funny? Was that you had every hidden lockpick, box cutter, and switchblade that I carry. Now, you want to explain that? Oh, and the, uh, resemblance, while you're at it?" Future Dean said.

"Zachariah."

The future Dean and Lauren just looked at each other, "Come again?" Future Dean said as he got up from his chair.

"We are you guys from the tail end of 2009. Zach plucked us from our bed and threw us five years into the future."

"Where is he? I want to talk to him." Future Dean said.

"Dean…" Future Lauren started but he stopped her.

"Was I talking to you?" He snapped at her and looked back at Dean. "Tell me where he is?"

"I don't know, Ike Turner." Dean said referring to the way his future self was talking to Lauren.

"Oh, you don't know, smartass."

"No, I don't know! Look, I just want to get back to my own friggin' year, okay?"

"Okay. If you're me, then tell me something only I would know."

Dean thought for a second and smiled, "Rhonda Hurley. We were, uh, nineteen. She made us try on her panties. They were pink and satiny and you know what? We kind of liked it." He smiled, "And Lauren…sometimes go by Trixie and we really like that."

"Touché.".

Lauren looked over at Dean and raised her brow, "I was wondering what happen to my purple panties." She smiled at him, "Now I know. Not really sure how I feel about that."

"What can I say, I ran out of boxers." He winked.

"So, what, Zach zapped you guys up here to see how bad it gets?" Future Dean asked them.

"I guess. Croatoan virus, right? That's their endgame?" Dean asked.

"It's efficient, it's incurable, and it's scary as hell. Turns people into monsters. Started hitting the major cities about two years ago. World really went in the crapper after that along with everything else." Future Dean said and glared by at his Lauren who had a look on her face that made present Lauren worry.

"What about Sam?" Lauren asked and the future Lauren's face dropped even more at hearing his name. She was scared.

"Heavyweight showdown in Detroit. From what I understand, Sam didn't make it." Future Dean said.

"You weren't with him?" Dean asked.

"No. No, me and Sam, we haven't talked in…..hell, five years. I wonder whose fault that is." He said and glared at his Lauren. Present Lauren knew that he must know what she had done.

"We never tried to find him?" Present Dean asked.

"I got other people to worry about." Future Dean said a sipped up his duffle bag.

"Where you going?" Dean asked.

"I got to run an errand."

"Whoa. You're just gonna leave us here?" Present Lauren asked.

"Yes. I got a camp full of twitchy trauma survivors out there with an apocalypse hanging over their head. The last thing they need to see is a version of The Parent Trap. So, yeah, you two stay locked down." Future Dean said and looked at his Lauren. "Don't you let them out."

"We can just keep them here plus I'm going with you." She said.

"I don't think so. You are going to do what I say and keep your ass here and that's an order."

Dean and Lauren watched the two go back and forth and Dean was shocked to see how easily Future Lauren back down from him. He would never talk to Lauren that way. Something was going on and he didn't like what he was seeing.

"Dick." Present Dean said as Future Dean walked out of the cabin.

"He is a real charmer isn't he?" Future Lauren said and pulled the keys from her pocket and walked over to them. "But I am not going to leave you guys chained up in here. He can go back to hell for all I care." She said and one by one she uncuffed them.

"Won't you get in trouble?" Dean asked

"I really don't give a damn. There are things you guys need to see." She said.

Present Lauren stood up and rubbed her wrist, "Thanks. Where's Bailey?" she asked.

"With Missouri so yes she is alive if you two are wondering." Future Lauren said. "I have stuff I need to do but why don't you take a look around and see what it's really like here. Maybe you two can do something different." She said and walked out the door.

When she was gone, Dean and Lauren looked at each other, "I take it we aren't a happy couple anymore." Dean said.

"I think you would be right. You turned into a dick." Lauren smiled.

"And you're kind of bitchy. Let's get out of here. We need to see if we can find Cas." Dean said and they walked out the door.

They glanced around the old camp and Dean saw Chuck walking over to them, "Hey, Dean. You got a second?"

"No…..yes. Uh, I-I guess. Hi, Chuck." Dean said.

"So you're Chuck?" Lauren asked.

"Funny Lauren." Chuck said, "So, uh, listen, we're pretty good on canned goods for now, but we're down to next to nothing on perishables and hygiene supplies. People are not gonna be happy about this. So, what do you think we should do?"

"I don't know. Maybe, uh, share? You know, like at a kibbutz." Dean said and looked at Lauren who shrugged.

"Wait a minute. Aren't you supposed to be out on a mission right now?" Chuck asked Dean.

"Absolutely. And I will be. I am going right now." Dean said.

"Uh-oh." Chuck said when he saw an angry woman walk over to them and she started to swing at Dean.

"Whoa! Jeez! Easy, lady!" Dean said and got behind Lauren.

"What the hell is your deal?" Lauren asked her and she just rolled her eyes at Lauren and looked at Dean.

"You spent the night in Jane's cabin last night, didn't you?" Risa said.

Lauren moved out from in front of Dean and looked at him, "You did what?"

"Don't act so surprised, Lauren." Risa said. "You know what he does." She said and looked at Dean, "I thought we had a connection." Risa said and Dean just stood there, "Screw you."

"Oh, jeez. I'm getting busted for stuff I haven't even done yet."

"Yet?" Lauren asked. "What the hell, Dean!" Lauren said.

"It wasn't me." Dean said. "You can't be mad at me." Dean said and he saw the other Lauren walk up to Risa, "But I have a feeling she is pissed."

The turned around just in time to see the future Lauren slam Risa's head into a light pole. "I would say so." Lauren said as they watched the two girls go at it.

Future Lauren kicked Risa in the stomach once more before walking over to Dean, Lauren, and Chuck, "Ok I'm confused." Chuck said.

"Don't think about it Chuck. It will make your head hurt." Future Lauren said, "So let me guess…..looking for Cas?" she asked.

"Where is he?" Dean asked.

"Follow me and Chuck, go clean up Risa before Dean gets back." She smirked and walked around them.

Dean and Lauren followed Future Lauren into an old cabin and they saw Castiel sitting in front of a group of women, "There he is." She said. "Like I said before, a lot has changed and not for the better."

"I can see that." Present Lauren said and they looked at Castiel.

"So, in this way. We're each a fragment of total perception just, uh, one compartment in that dragonfly eye of group mind. Now, the key to this total, shared perception—it's, um, it's surprisingly physical." Cas said and looked over to see the three standing there, "Oh. Excuse me, ladies. I think I need to confer with our fearless leader for a minute. Why not go get washed up for the orgy?"

One by one the women get up and leave, "You're all so beautiful." Cas said as they passed by him.

"Orgy?" Present Lauren asked, "Dude hasn't even had sex yet."

Cas stretched as they walked over to him, "What are you, a hippie?" Dean asked.

"I thought you'd gotten over trying to label me." Cas said and looked at him, "Whoa. Strange. You...are not you. Not now you, anyway."

"They're from 2009." Future Lauren said.

"Who did this to you? Is it Zachariah?" Cas asked.

"Yes."

"Interesting."

"Oh, yeah, it's friggin' fascinating. Why don't you strap on your angel wings and fly me back to my page on the calendar?" Dean said.

"I wish I could just, uh, strap on my wings, but I'm sorry, no dice."

"What, are you stoned?" Present Lauren asked him.

"Uh, generally, yeah." Cas smiled and looked over at Future Lauren, "Did you come to join in on tonight events?" he asked and Dean and Laurens mouth opened.

Future Lauren just smiled, "Not tonight. Maybe tomorrow." She winked.

"What happened to you?" Dean asked Cas.

"Life."

Present Lauren moved over to her future self and whispered, "We really don't do this kind of thing do we?" she asked.

"You will be surprised at the things you will do." Future Lauren said. "You still have a lot to see." She said and they all walked out of the cabin.

"Mommy, Mommy!" the present Dean and Lauren heard a little girl say. They turned to see two kids running over to Lauren. One was a blonde little girl with pig tails and the other was a little boy with dark hair who couldn't be more that three.

"Hey." Future Lauren said and walked walk to them, "I thought I told you two to stay inside with Missouri."

"We wanted to see you." The little girl said and looked over and spotted Dean and Lauren, "Who are they?"

"That is a long story." Future Lauren said.

"I got nothing but time." The little girl said and crossed her arms.

"I'll tell you later, Bailey." Lauren smiled.

Just then she turned and saw a car and a jeep pull into camp. "Great…he back. Let's hope he is in a good mood." Future Lauren said and wrapped her arms around the kids.

Future Dean got out of the jeep along with some other soldiers. He grabbed two beers and tossed one to a man on the other side of the jeep. Future Lauren knew what was about to happen and quickly cover the kids eyes.

Present Dean and Lauren watched as Future Dean pulled out a gun and pointed it at the man, "Hey. Hey! Watch out!" Present Dean shouted as his future self pulled the trigger and the man hit the ground.

The others just looked between look between the two couples with curiosity, "Damn it. I'm not gonna lie to you. This is a pretty messed-up situation we got going. But believe me, when you need to know something, you will know it. Until then we all have work to do."

Future Dean walked over to his Lauren and grabbed her by the arm and the kids looked up at him, "Why don't you two run and play?" he smiled down at them and the kids took off as if nothing was wrong and that upset the present Dean and Lauren. Future Dean waited until the kids where out of site before looking back at his Lauren, "I told you to keep them locked up!"

"Since when do I listen to you." She said with hate in her voice as she looked him over.

Future Dean glared at her and then looked at the other couple, "We all need to have a little chat."

*Ok I split this chapter into two parts. Its long and the next chapter has a lot of information in it. I am going to have future Lauren and Present Lauren have a talk that will be interesting. Who's the little boy? You will find out in the next chapter. Review are loved! Thanks!
