Authors note: So i've kind of been a little indecisive with how to do the whole Casifer and Amara thing, but I think I know what I'm doing now. This chapter takes place during the episode Beyond the mat, and will be following Valerie as she is in the bunker while the boys are gone. I hope you enjoy! An as always, please leave a review, it would really mean a lot to me!:)

Disclaimer: I do not own anything even remotely related to Supernatural, sadly;)


Chapter 13- Beyond the mat

Dean, Valerie and Sam were all sitting in the kitchen, eating cereal. Dean and Sam were gonna take a day off, to go to their wrestling idols funeral, and Valerie was gonna stay in the bunker.

"You sure you're gonna be okay here alone?", Sam asked her

"Sam, I'm in a wheelchair, I'm not incapable of handling myself", She said looking at him with an indignant look

"Alright alright"

"Good", she smiled at the two brothers, "besides, I am looking forward to having the bunker to myself", Sam and Dean stood up and before they left, Sam hugged Valerie tight and kissed the top of her head. As the two were heading out, Valerie shouted after them; "have fun, and remember, don't do anything I wouldn't do!", she heard them laughing, and then a door closing signaling that the two brothers had left.

Valerie was sitting on her bed in her room, watching gilmore girls, when she got a FaceTime call from Jody.

"Jody! Hey"

"Hey, Valerie", Jody said

"So no offense, but why are you calling?"

"Dean called me and told me about the accident, I'm so sorry"

"Jody, its fine, Im fine we're both fine"

"Okay", Jody said, not quite sounding like she believed Valerie

"What?"

"Oh nothing, it's just I know these guys, and it doesn't sound like them to not blame themselves"

"ALright fine, Sam does blame himself, but I told him Im fine and that it wasn't his fault, he just won't listen", Valerie said, sounding a bit distressed
"Just give him some time, these guys feel like the weight of the world is on their shoulders, they can't help but feel but feel responsible", Jody said, trying to help Valerie understand.

"Yeah, you're probably right, heh", Valerie chuckled, "thank you, Jody, for being the voice of reason, heh"

"Anytime", Jody smiled, "anyways, I gotta get going, I just wanted to check in and how you were doing"

"Sure, bye", Valerie waved at the screen

"Bye", Jody waved back.

Around dinner time, Valerie got a call from Dean.

"Hey princess, we're on our way home now. We are getting pizza, what do you want?"

"Pepperoni and pineapple, please", she heard Dean scoff

"Pineapple?!", he said full of disgust

"Yes, it's a very normal pizza topping", she tried arguing

"I'm sorry, but I can't bring myself to buy a pizza with pineapple on it, a man's gotta have morals you know", she heard Sam laughing in the background.

"Well, get home safe, okay?"

"Yep, see ya"

"See ya".

Around half an hour later, Valerie heard Sam and Dean enter the bunker.

"Val? Where you at?", she heard Sam yell

"In the kitchen", she responded, she was having trouble reaching some plates. Sam and Dean came into the kitchen, and when Sam saw her struggling, he quickly stepped in and got the plates,

"God, I know I've only been in this thing for a week, but i'm already sick of it", she said, gesturing at her chair.

"I know, but you've only got 2 more weeks to go, so just hang in there", Sam said, caressing her shoulder as he leaned over her to put the plates on the table.

The three of them sat down to eat

"So, how was the funeral?", Valerie asked, putting a slice of pizza on her plate, "dude, where's the pineapple?", she asked Dean, who just shrugged

"I couldn't bring myself to actually order it, so I didnt"

"You don't have to eat it, or even look at it, you have to order it for me"

"Sorry, I have principles", Dean said, and started to eat, Valerie just shook her head, and Sam laughed at the two.

"The funeral was fine, but we ended up working a case", Sam said

"Really? You guys really can't catch a break, huh?", Valerie said

"Yeah, heh. So how was your day?"

"It was fine. I didn't really do much, except for watch netflix, oh, and jody called", she said

"Really, how is she, how are the girls?"

"They are fine, I guess"

"Didn't you talk to her?"

"Yeah, I just didn't ask her about the girls, we sort of talked about other things", Sam looked up from his plate

"What other things?"

"Oh, you know, the accident… and stuff"

"Oh", Sam put down his fork and knife

"Sam, come on", Valerie said, not wanting to spoil their meal with Sams self-loathing, "I've said it before, and I'll say it again; The accident was NOT your fault! It was dark, and that truck came out of nowhere, okay? So you can stop with the whole self-pity act you've got going on", when Sam didn't answer her, she continued, "and since I'm on a roll, I'll say this too; I am sick and tired of seeing you like this. Scared to even look at me wrong or say something that might upset me, its exhausting and selfish. And quite frankly, you don't get to be selfish in this situation, I do. I'm the one who had a truck slammed into me, I'm the one who will be spending the next two weeks in a friggin wheelchair, and I'm the one who will always have a 5 inch scar on my leg to remind me of the feeling of getting that truck slammed into me.", Valerie, now out of breath, left the kitchen, leaving Sam and Dean alone.

Valerie was in her room, trying to get on the bed, but struggling a bit, when she heard a knock on the door, "Val? it's me, Sam, can I come in?"

"Sure, I guess", she mumbled, so Sam could barely hear her. Sam came into the room and saw that she was struggling, so he offered to help her get on the bed. When she was properly seated, Sam took a seat on her desk chair.

"So, about earlier", he started

"Yeah, I'm sorry I said all those things", she said, looking at her hands

"No, I'm glad you did, I needed a good slap to the face, it reminded me that you were there also, if that makes sense?"

"Not really, but I think I get what you're trying to say"
"I'm trying to apologise for how Ive been this past week, I thought I was concerned about you, but really, I was just pitying myself", Sam looked at Valerie, who looked up at him, "can we start over? I miss my pretend sister", at that, she chuckled, then she nodded, and Sam got up from the chair, and sat down on the bed next to her, to give her a hug.

When Dean walked in, about 40 minutes later, he saw that Sam and Valerie were watching a movie on Valerie's laptop in her bed, "what are you watching?", he asked

"Harry Potter", Valerie answered

"Nerds", Dean said with a smile

"Jerk", Sam just said, not looking up from the computer screen

"You wanna join?", Valerie asked, patting a spot on the bed next to her

"Sure, why not?", Dean said. Then, they all sat there and watched the movie, and if anyone were to see them, not knowing what had gone down, they looked like any family enjoying eachothers company.
