Author's Note: Uh, I know I didn't mention it at the end of Chapter 14, but just like Supernatural, Revolution was actually created by Eric Kripke, but similar to how in the series Chuck wrote the Supernatural series of books, he later wrote another series called Revolution. I don't know, maybe if I ever make it to 2016 in this story, I might have him writing Timeless which while not mentioned in Supernatural is another of Kripke's creations and since Chuck is supposed to be like Eric or…something, I think it could be funny to have him writing it.

Other: And, a continuing thank you to my beta for this story, vrskaandrea - any remaining errors are solely my own.

St. Louis

Dean was glad that after the initial disaster that was the beginning of Season 8 that the filming was FINALLY over. Not just because that HOPEFULLY meant that he'd NEVER run into that cher-calling NON-Benny, AGAIN…but because that meant that he'd have a small window of time he could spend with Benny, Sam and Cas, and Chuck - and…Gabriel.

Oddly, after Benny turned Cas…Cas and Sam started spending more time at Dean's home which ended up settling into Sam transferring from the San Francisco office to the LA office. Dean didn't mind that they had essentially moved in with him while he was off filming - he had about five times more room then he could EVER need...it was the fact that he'd had to find out from Chuck that nagged him. On the other hand, at least Chuck had asked - in his own Chuck-like way - before he'd done it…unlike Sam and Cas.

Benny had put Liz in charge of his restaurant while Dean was going to be on break, before he had to start the Con circuit and recording for the new album…he'd just be traveling out to Carencro when he had breaks then but for this one, Benny was okay taking a break from his restaurant to spend some time with Dean. And, as Benny said…while Cas was actually adjusting faster AND better then he had to being a vampire…he still needed time where he was in close proximity to his maker.

Cas was still working for the SFPD, but his light sensitivity was THE ONE thing he WASN'T handling well…worse then most actually, which was why unless he was working…he locked himself in his and Sam's bedroom which had blackout curtains. Benny had been able to help Cas find his balance between blood bags and feeding off Sam, but Cas never attempted to completely drain OR turn Sam…which showed a VERY impressive level of self-control that most young vampires - including Benny back when he was still deemed a 'young' or 'new' vampire - did not have.

Dean had been surprised that about midway through the filming of the season had he'd gotten a call from Ben and oddly, Ben apologized…he knew that his mom - Lisa - absolutely hated Dean and that a lot of times if you hate someone, it doesn't bother you to lie about them. Ben ended up asking Dean why he hadn't tried fighting for him and Dean explained EVERYTHING he could think of about his custody battle with Lisa…which resulted in Ben telling him 'you did fight for me, you just got lied to from all sides, and since you're not Sam…you didn't know that they were lying until it was much to late.' They had been talking weekly since then and Dean was excited about getting back to LA because Ben had agreed - Lisa wasn't happy, but it was either that or Sam would MAKE SURE she ended up in a jail cell for her stunt - to come visit.

Walking in the front door, Dean noticed two things immediately…Cas' trenchcoat and the scent of grillades and grits…which meant Benny was already there since neither Cas nor Sam could cook and Chuck…well, he could cook - to a point - but he liked his popcorn machine. Dean slipped off his shoes and started to walk toward the kitchen when he heard 'What's a grillades?'

'That sounded like Ben!' Dean thought to himself, Ben wasn't supposed to be there, yet!

'Grillades are medallions typically made of beef. Some people fry them but I actually prefer searing.' Dean heard Benny explain.

'Is searing what you're doing?' Ben asked curiously.

'Yup!' Benny said happily.

'And, what type of gravy is that?' For some reason, Dean got the visual in his head of Ben actually looking into the pan. He'd gotten close to the kitchen so he could just listen.

'It's actually a roux made from flour, lard, and chopped tomato, bell pepper, onion, celery, and garlic…and thyme, bay leaves, cayenne, and beef broth…I would've used my cooking wine but we're not at my restaurant.' Benny explained.

'Hey, if mom lets me visit Dean more often…maybe you can teach me how to cook?' Ben asked excitedly.

Dean stepped into the doorway to the kitchen as Benny said, 'Of course, little Ben.' Dean wasn't at all surprised that Benny was wearing his normal black outfit…he had a blue one too but they were identical styles with a matching white button-up. Benny had deposited his jacket on the table, his hat on top of it, his shirt rolled up to his elbows…Dean was fascinated that while Benny had several outfits, they were essentially identical copies of either his black or blue outfit.

'Is it weird that we're BOTH named Benjamin?' Ben asked curiously. Ben had on blue jeans, black converse with pride colors surrounding the star and on the sole of the shoe, a Black Panther t-shirt, and a black leather jacket tied around his waist.

Benny shrugged. 'I go by Benny, you go by Ben…there's no problem. It's like being friends with three men named Richard…one goes by Richard, one by Rich, and one Dick…there's still no confusion.' He explained. 'Where there could be confusion would be like if there was a man named Samuel and a woman named Samantha and both go by Sam.' He added.

'But, isn't it weird?' Ben asked curiously.

'What do you mean?' Benny asked curiously, as he positioned Ben in front of the roux and handed him the wooden spoon. 'Don't stop stirring, a circle followed by a figure eight is a good rhythm to get into to keep it from sticking.' He ordered.

'I mean, isn't it weird that mom named me Ben and -' Ben began to ask.

'LISA DIDN'T name you, Ben…I'M the one who named you Benjamin.' Dean said for clarification.

Ben jumped and if it wasn't for Benny grabbing him by the back of his neck to keep him from turning around AND to keep his attention of the roux, he would've turned to look at Dean. 'But, isn't THAT even weirder? You named me Benjamin and it turns out that your soulmate is also named Benjamin?' Ben asked, while focusing on the roux.

Dean shrugged but also nodded. 'Yeah, actually it is. I like the name, though…so, it's not bad…weird, but not bad.' He admitted.

Dean watched and listened as Benny put the meal together while also explaining to Ben what every little nuance meant…and he could tell by the way Ben watched Benny that he was absolutely fascinated.

xXxXx

Dean, Benny, Ben, and Cas all sat in the kitchen. Benny at Dean's right, Cas across from Benny, and Ben across from Dean. 'So, where's Sammy…and Chuck?' Dean asked curiously.

'Sam's preparing for a case tomorrow. Chuck locked himself in his room to focus on writing the next Supernatural and Revolution stories. He ended up getting pissed off when he realized he was writing his Supernatural chapter in his Revolution file and vice versa…and when he finally got that fixed, he ended up writing some chapter that was some off-the-wall crossover between the two…so, he's trying for peace, quiet, and the fresh scent of popcorn to clear his mind and get back on track. Oh! And, actually Dean…he wanted to talk to you after you got home about song lyrics or a melody or something that he came up with.' Cas explained.

'I don't know how the CW or NBC would feel about it, but I think a crossover could be cool…after all, there have been a couple of the guest stars in Supernatural that have went on to guest star in Revolution…or are going to be…I don't know, I don't watch the show so I don't know where they're at in the series…I just know plans, not whether they've come to fruition, yet.' Dean admitted.

'I prefer the Revolution books, I only watched the pilot and I honestly don't like the series. If he does a crossover, I hope it's in the books first.' Benny admitted.

'There's not a damn thing that's happened in EITHER series that didn't originate in the books…so, it would HAVE TO be in the books, first. I mean, sure…there's things that get expanded on and others get cut, but they still originate in the books.' Dean explained.

'Who's the character on your shirt?' Cas asked, looking at Ben.

Ben looked down at his shirt. 'He's the Black Panther from the comic books.' Ben said with a smile.

'What do you think of Batman?' Dean asked curiously.

Benny and Cas looked at each other concerned.

'T'Challa could beat Bruce Wayne's ass!' Ben said with absolute certainty.

'Run!' Benny and Cas BOTH mouthed at the same time, both knowing full well and through trial and error what Dean's opinion of Batman was.

Between one second and the next, BOTH Benny and Cas were out of the kitchen with their plates.

'How did they do that?' Ben asked confused.

'Long story.' Dean said dismissively. 'So, Black Panther is better then Batman, huh?' He asked curiously.

'Absolutely!' Ben said simply.

Dean narrowed his eyes. 'Are you sure you're my kid?' He asked irritated but also joking.

'I have your stubbornness, Dean.' Ben said with a big smile.

'Oh God!' Dean said concerned, burying his head in his hands. 'CHUCK!' He hollered loudly, making Ben jump.

It was only about a minute before Chuck came rushing into the kitchen, carrying his open laptop in his left hand and his right ear bud in his right hand - his left ear bud still in his left ear. 'What's wrong, Dean?' He asked concerned.

'Do you remember when you told me when I first told you about Ben that he'd end up being twice as stubborn as me?' Dean asked curiously.

'Yeah.' Chuck said cautiously.

'Tell Ben that Batman is better than the Black Panther!' Dean said - whined would be more accurate.

Chuck narrowed his eyes, his mouth open slightly. 'Uh.' Chuck took a step back. 'Act-act-actually, I-I-I-I pre-pre-prefer Harley Quinn.' He said nervously, taking another step back.

Dean stood up, walked over to Chuck who took another nervous step back, put his hands on Chuck's shoulders. 'Hey, it's okay, man…I didn't mean to make you freak…I just wanted you to side with me…I didn't know you actually preferred Harley.' He said with a smirk.

'Who's Harley Quinn?' Ben asked curiously.

'She's occasionally The Joker's - The Joker is one of Batman's core enemies - she's his love interest and a recurring member of the Suicide Squad.' Dean explained easily.

'So, he does like Batman better than Black Panther?' Ben pouted, crossing his arms.

'No. Just because he likes Harley Quinn does not automatically mean he likes Batman.' Dean explained. 'Of course, I've thought since her first comic appearance that she was a psycho bitch.' He admitted.

Chuck opened his mouth and then promptly snapped it shut. 'What?' Dean asked curiously.

Chuck shook his head quickly, he'd planned to say something…but Dean wasn't Gabriel and THAT would be crossing MULTIPLE lines.

'Would it help if I promise not to throw you out to Becky?' Dean asked innocently, he wouldn't do that anyway…Becky was a psycho bitch in her own right.

Chuck lowered and shook his head. 'Aw, come on! You know you can tell me anything!' Dean said disappointed.

Ben decided that keeping his mouth shut was a good option for him.

'I was just going to say…' Chuck gulped, keeping his eyes down 'but, aren't I your psycho bitch?' He asked nervously. 'But, you're not Gabriel so…the joke was highly inappropriate.' He added nervously.

'You can be my psycho bitch if you want.' Dean said jokingly.

Ben scratched his head with his right hand. He knew that Benny was Dean's soulmate, he knew that Cas and Sam were soulmates, and he knew that Chuck's soulmate was a man named Gabriel…but with Dean and Chuck's interaction…he wondered if that actually meant…ANYTHING. He wasn't about to ask his father - even if he was calling him Dean - if he and Chuck were BANGING, though.

Author's Note: Something I've already mentioned to my beta but I haven't mentioned to anyone else, yet is this…if you think about it, in the series…when Sam and Dean first met Chuck he already had SEVERAL of the Supernatural books written…now, knowing how long in general a book takes to write, unless he started the series a few years before 2005…there is no legitimate way (not accounting for the fact that it was a few years later before we had confirmation that he was apparently GOD all along) that he should've been able to have written all those books. Now, what does that have to do with THIS? Simple, in this what Chuck writes…BOTH Supernatural and Revolution are actually series' of short stories averaging anywhere from 50 to 100 pages…so technically, they could run into novella length, but for arguments sake, they're short stories.
