Sam looked at his brother at that, jaw moving side to side at the mention of John Winchester.
"What about him?" he asked, trying to be nonchalant.
His chest hurt for a moment, where the Kurdish knife had been buried. A reminder of what had happened the last time they had let their guards down in front of Winchester.
Mary looked a bit troubled, her nose squishing slightly as she tried to figure out what she wanted to ask.
"He was there. Why?" she finally asked.
"We've run into him recently, he wasn't supposed to be there when we brought you back." Dean told her. "Managed to pull the wool over his eyes for a bit more then it all came out who we were."
Mary nodded tensely, her grip becoming tighter around their hands. "Did he try to hurt you?"
"Tried to capture us, tried to interrogate us, the thing is, he's using hunters demon defensive stuff." Dean said. "And those just don't work on us no matter what."
"We've learned a lot about ourselves, namely what can hurt us and what can't." Sam added, wanting to get away from the topic of Winchester. "Turns out things can sting and annoy us but not really hurt us like it would a full blooded demon."
"And any human thing like a knife or a bullet doesn't really do much." Dean continued. "We heal pretty much automatically from it."
"In terms of the world a couple things have changed, technology is different and the food's kinda gotten both better and worse." Dean said, stopping when there was a knock at the door. He got up and answered the door, grabbing his wallet to pay the delivery person and bringing the food in.
Taking everything out he brought the food to them, handing Sam his soup and taking out Marys as well.
"It's chicken noodle, something simple to just start you off." Dean said, sitting at Mary's side and tearing the plastic off the top of the container, dipping the spoon into it. Sam wanted to do the same, wanted to help Dean feed her but this was something Dean wore with pride, the caretaker of the family.
It wasn't something that Dean would hand over easily, ever since Mary had died he had been technically the head and both the protector and caretaker of the both of them. And now that Mary was back and needing help, Dean wanted to be the primary giver.
Sam was going to fight with him against that but for the time being, for the first bit, he was going to let Dean do what he wanted.
Almost with each mouthful that Mary had brought her back to life more and more. It was less the food and more that each one helped her to focus on another part of her body and make sure that it worked. It spread out and helped her to focus on each organ, on each nerve, bringing life back into each and every bit.
"Anything else...isn't as important." Sam said with a shrug, ignoring his own food so that he could focus on Mary instead. "Mom...can you tell us what happened?"
It was something they've wanted to know for a very long time, what had happened to her that day?
Mary hesitated at that, swallowing hard. She had gotten enough strength and control back that she was able to turn her head to look away, taking a deep breath. Finally she reached for their hands once more, tapping out her message.
"I went to see my dad, tried to stay away." she told them. "But he caught me, he had a lot more wards and everything else around his house than I knew of and he...he got me. He didn't believe who I was, no matter what I said. At least...I thought he didn't believe me."
"What do you mean?" Sam asked. "So he...he knew who you were and he still...what did he do?"
"He had a knife, a Kurdish knife I think. He used it on me." she took another deep breath. "But yeah...he knew who I was. He just didn't care."
A Kurdish knife, they only knew of one that a hunter would've had and it's currently with Meg as payment for her help.
"And then, despite everything, he used it on me and I...next thing I knew I was waking up in the cemetery with you boys."

I do take requests so if you have requests you can send them to me.
I know this seems like a rehash of things that was already known, but Sam and Dean didn't know before now so that's why I've repeated it.
