Sam and Dean Winchester knew something was hunting innocents in Ohio, and they knew they needed to take care of the issue. Several people had gone missing with no trace left. Families were left distraught and looking for answers. By the time they rolled into town the bodies of three of the victims had surfaced, leaving two people still missing. The Winchesters vowed to find closure one way or the other for these shattered homes. No family would be torn apart on their watch if they could help it.

Chapter One - On The Hunt

'I guess I keep on rambling

I'm gonna, yeah, yeah, yeah

Sing my song (I gotta find my baby)

I'm going 'round the world (I gotta ramble on sing my song,

gotta work my way around the world baby, baby)

Ramble on, yeah

Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, my baby'

It was late January in Akron, Ohio and Dean had his music loud as he was going down the highway. He and Sam had been on the hunt for a couple days already and still were not sure what they were up against. Sam was back at Imperial '400' Motel digging into the lore while Dean searched for any clues to what was going on in this town.

Suddenly his phone rang. Dean turned down the radio when he saw it was Sam and answered.

"Yeah?"

"There's a cop car outside."

"You think it's for us?"

"I don't know."

"I mean I don't see how. We ditched the plates, the credit cards."

"Well Dean you weren't exactly stealth in Phoenix, were you?"

"Look Sam don't start. Don't we have enough problems without going after each other?"

Outside the motel the cop car pulled out of the parking lot. Sam breathes a sigh of relief.

"They're leaving. False alarm."

"Well see, nothing to worry about."

"Yeah being fugitives again. Frigging dance party. Almost forgot what that feels like."

"Hey man, chicks dig the danger vibe."

Sam just stood there in the middle of their motel room rolling his eyes at what his brother had just said. Everything came back to women for Dean.

"So Dean, you got anything yet?"

"Are you kidding me? How could I? You got me sifting through like 50 square mile of real estate here."

"Well, that's where all of the victims disappeared."

"Yeah well I got diddly with a side of squat. What about you? Anything in the books?"

Sam walked over to the table covered in books and picked up a green leather bound book.

"Well just one thing, I'm pretty sure of it now, and you're not gonna like it."

"What?"

"We're hunting a Djinn, specifically a Marid."

"A freaking genie?"

"Yeah."

Dean shook his head to try and stop the slight headache he was getting.

"Sam are you sure? This thing doesn't seem to act like any Djinn we have encountered."

"Everything lines up Dean."

"Wait a minute, Marid? Why does that sound familiar?"

"Because this is what Cas dealt with in Syria."

"Oh shit, yeah. Didn't he marry one?" Dean couldn't help but laugh at the memory of his friend telling him he may have married the Djinn Queen.

Sam laughed too. "Yeah. Never gonna let him live that down are you?"

"Never. So weren't these suckers the ones that could really grant wishes?"

"I don't know. I guess they're powerful enough. But not exactly like Barbara Eden in harem pants, I don't think. I mean we know Djinn have been feeding off people for centuries. They're all over the Koran."

"My God, Barbara Eden was hot, wasn't she? Way better than that Bewitched chick."

"Are you even listening to me?"

Dean realizes what this conversation is doing to his body and clears his throat before answering.

"Yeah. So uh, where do the Marid lair up?"

"Ruins usually. I mean their seat of power was called the Citadel of Ten Thousand Pearls."

"Ten Thousand Pearls? What the hell are you talking about Sammy?"

"Dean they are the most powerful of the Djinn. They get their power from the sea. It's even said their native language sounds like waves hitting the cliffs, or an incoming storm on the ocean."

"So I'm looking for the ocean? In Ohio?"

Sam had to take a beat before answering.

"Of course not Dean."

"Hey you give me that kind of crap; you better expect to get crap back. Now do you have anything I can actually use to find this son of a bitch?'

"Look smart ass they like privacy. They like space to sacrifice. The bigger the location the better. More places to hide."

Dean thought about that for a second.

"You know, I think I saw a place a couple miles back. I'm gonna go check it out."

"Wait- no, no, no, no, no. Come pick me up first."

"Naw, I'm sure it's nothing. I just wanna take a look around."

With that Dean hung up the phone.

Sam lowered the phone from his ear and sighed.

"Shit."

About twenty minutes later Dean pulled into the parking lot of an abandoned mall. When he gets closer to the building he passes an overhang marked Rolling Acres Mall. He circles the building until he finds a weak spot to enter.

After parking the Impala in the shadows Dean breaks in through a boarded door. He walks down an empty hall using his flashlight to look into the empty store fronts. Dean notices where he ends up appears to be old restaurants which is confirmed when his light lands on a sign that reads 'Picnic Place'. He continues deeper into the deserted mall and starts to wonder if this was such a good idea.

"Holy shit!" Dean enters the grand lobby of the mall. What he finds are an old fountain, escalators and just about everything else covered in snow. He looks up to find the skylight has given way. Looking around Dean notices footprints in the snow. He goes in for a closer look.

The footprints seem to go nowhere. "What the hell?" Dean looks around and when he sees no other sign of life he starts walking back in the same direction he came from deciding to come back in the light of day with Sam. Dean doesn't see the figure in the shadows to his left watching him as he walks on.

He suddenly feels eyes on him, but it's too late. The Djinn attacks him pinning Dean to one of the glass store fronts. He looks into the eyes of his attacker, and can't believe how gorgeous she is, other worldly gorgeous. Her skin is a darker shade of blue, and she has long, curly white hair. Dean can't pull his focus off the eye contact he has with the Djinn. She slams his left hand against the wall making Dean drop his flashlight, then twist his right wrist to make him drop his knife.

Virtually defenseless Dean's mind races trying to find an out. This Djinn was unbelievably strong, and he can't break free. She releases her left hand from him and her palm begins to glow blue. As the Djinn starts to bring her hand to Dean's temple her eyes begin to also glow.

"The angel is mine, hunter."

The Djinn caresses Dean's temple and his eyes begin to glow blue, then roll up in his head as his world goes dark.

A car horn blares. Dean is jolted awake. He realizes he is in the front passenger seat of the Impala. He hears laughing and turns to his left to see Sam leaning in the driver's window.

"Dude we're here. Get your ass up."

Dean reaches for the door handle and gets out of the car. As he closes the door he catches his reflection in the window. Dean is wearing a dark blue suit vest with matching pants, a white dress shirt and black tie. He looks down to see he is wearing black dress shoes.

"What the fuck?"

Sam comes around the Impala and opens the back door. He grabs a suit coat that matches what Dean is wearing and hands it to him.

"Here, put your coat on."

"What?"

"You. Coat. Wear. I am speaking your language, right?"

"Yeah, yeah. Bitch."

"Jerk. Come on let's get something to drink."

Sam leads Dean to the open bar under an oak tree with the plan to get him drunk off his ass.

"Dean I'll be right back. Have to go talk to someone real quick."

"Yeah, sure Sammy."

Other guests are roaming around, and as Dean watches his brother walk away he starts recognizing some of the faces.

"Hey there Dean."

Dean turns around and comes face to face with Mick Davies.

"Mick!? It's been a long time." Shaking the other man's hand.

"Yeah it has. The old man called me back to London, but I had to be here for the big day. What are you drinking?"

"Whiskey. Straight up."

Mick turned away from Dean.

"Bartender. Two whiskeys."

"So Dean, still fighting the good fight I see. Keeping the states safe."

"Doing my best. And I'm guessing the UK is still on lockdown?"

At that moment the bartender placed their drinks in front of them. Both men pick their glasses up. Mick is the first to speak.

"Here's to putting monsters where they belong and saving the clueless."

"I'll drink to that."

The two clink their glasses.

"Cheers mate."

"Yeah, cheers," Dean answered as they drink their whiskey.

In a nearby barn Castiel is talking with the Irish hunter Eileen Leahy.

"You look great in that dress. Is someone getting married?"

Eileen had to think fast to avoid the question.

"You really think so? Do you think Sam will like it?"

"I think he will love it."

He looks down at his suit with a questioning look.

"Leen? Why am I wearing white?"

Passing behind them is Claire Novak, daughter of Castiel's vessel, Jimmy Novak. She hears the conversation and snorts.

"Ah Cas. You are so easy to fool. Drunk angel..…" she says under her breath as she walks away to go check in with the catering staff.

"Because you're a knock out in white," is Eileen's answer.

"Thanks, you like?"

She kisses the angel's cheek.

"Stunning angel."

"You really think so?"

"Oh yes, Dean is going to love it!"

Cas' face drains of all color. Eileen grabs his hand, giggling.

"Whoa Cas, you okay?"

"Um, I think so. We were out late. And then the wine with Gabe and..."

Claire comes back and puts a hand on Cas' shoulder.

"Hey. You two. Break it up. It's not your guy's wedding day."

Eileen smiles at Claire.

Cas starts to giggle. "But I love My Leen."

Claire winks at Eileen.

Eileen nods back at her before Claire goes to check on the flowers.

Cas didn't seem to notice the silent conversation going on between the two ladies.

Eileen looks back at Cas, "Yes? Ha ha I love you too, but you aren't marrying me love."

"Sorry, beautiful...another hunter captured my heart."

Eileen gags in mock horror then kisses his cheek.

"Castiel I am crushed. Another life, love,"

As Eileen straightens his tie and collar, friend and fellow hunter Charlie Bradbury comes up to them.

"Awe how sweet do you look Cas."

"Thank you Charlie, I appreciate that."

Claire comes running from across the room.

"Charlie!"

Charlie catches her in a hug.

"Claire bear! Everything looks fantastic."

"Thanks. You think you can help me over here? With this," looks at Castiel. "paperwork?"

"Sure thing!"

Eileen sighs and smiles watching the two walking across the room.

Cas tilted his head to one side.

"Claire seems to be a little busy, doesn't she?"

"When is your daughter not busy Cas?"

"The energy of youth."

"Eyes on me angel." Eileen plays with his hair. "There."

"Lucky to have you, Eileen."

"Aww I love you too Cas."

Back outside under the oak tree Sam, having checked on a couple last minute items, rejoins Dean.

"Gotta love an open bar, huh Sammy?"

"Yeah... let's not overdo it though, okay? I think you're still drunk from last night."

"That was fun, wasn't it? The music...the shot specials…"

The opening notes to 'Nothing Else Matters' begin to play and catches Dean's attention. He turns around to see Kevin Tran playing the song on cello. He then looks to Sam.

"So, remind me what were supposed to be doing again?"

Sam smiles at his brother. "We're at a wedding Dean."

"Wedding, right."

Sam grabs Dean's drink and places it on the bar. "So let's set this down and you move over here with me."

He then takes hold of Dean's arm. "Come on."

"Dude where are we going?"

"Just trust me."

Sam pulls Dean to a wooden canopy with beautiful white flowers and flowing fabric as the guest begin to take their seats.

Dean adjusts his suit coat. "This is a nice suit, Sammy. We working a case?"

Sam gives a small laugh. "No. No case today."

He moves Dean to his spot by the altar. "Why don't you stand here?"

"Alright. Don't leave me, man. I may need your help. Little wobbly."

"Yeah I see. I'll be right next to you, okay?"

The wedding party begins walking down the aisle.

Sam nudges Dean. "Why don't you watch the aisle."

Coming up the aisle is Chuck Shurley with Mary Winchester.

Dean gets a huge smile on his face. "Cool. Hey! It's Chuck and Ma."

Sam tries to calm his brother some. "Ssshhh."

"Oops, sorry...sorry."

Dean gets a lump in his throat watching his mother. He leans over to Sam and whispers,"She looks amazing, doesn't she Sammy?"

Sam whispers back, "Yeah she does."

Chuck shows Mary to her seat next to John Winchester and joins Sam and Dean.

"Hey guys."

They answer in unison, "Hey Chuck." This makes him give a small laugh.

Back at the barn Eileen looks over at Claire. Claire nods at her and Eileen smiles.

Cas is starting to look worried. "Leen...what's going on?"

"You'll see in a moment, okay?"

Cas signs to her, "Okay".

Benny Lafitte begins walking down the aisle as Charlie grabs a basket of flower petals.

Clair whistles at Sam to join her real quick, but he doesn't hear her.

Dean whispers to Sam, "Benny's here! Man, I've missed him."

He then starts to hum along to the music as his son, Ben Braeden, walks down the aisle.

Castiel hums along to 'Nothing Else Matters' and fidgets with his cuff links.

Dean brings Benny into a hug, "It's so good to see you man."

"Wouldn't miss it brother."

"Your sure about this?," Dean asked.

"Not my first rodeo, man," Benny answered.

Dean reaches into the Impala and pulls a machete out removing it from its case.

He extends his hand to Benny. As they shake hands they pull each other into a hug.

"Thank you," Dean says as they step back from each other.

Benny looks him in the eye. "Well come on. You a wimp?"

At that Dean beheads Benny.

Dean shakes his head at the memory. It couldn't be real.

Alex Jones hands bouquets to other bridesmaids

Eileen signs to Cas, "You look great."

Cas smiles at her. "So do you," Eileen blushes.

Claire takes her bouquet. "Thanks Alex." Then she texts Sam. "Get your ass over here."

Dean whispers with tears in his eyes, "Ben,"

Patience Turner takes her bouquet. "Thanks,"

Alex whispers, "No problem, you guys ready? It's nearly us!"

Ben reaches Dean and the two hug.

"Hey dad."

Dean doesn't think twice at the greeting.

"Ben. I missed you. It's been way too long."

He pulls Ben into another hug.

Sam's phone buzzes in his pocket. He sneaks a peek and reads Claire's text.

"Dean I'll be right back."

"No, no, no Sam you told me you would watch me."

"You'll be fine, Benny is here and I won't be far. I promise."

"Just hurry back."

Sam squeezes Dean's shoulder. "I will."

Cas signs to Eileen, "Are we crashing a wedding?"

Eileen signs back, "Absolutely."

Cas signs, "I'm your date?"

Alex walks down the aisle as Claire watches her sister, smiling.

Dean starts to mildly mimic air guitar.

Eileen turns and looks in Cas' eyes and smiles big. "Just watch Dean when we walk out love."

Cas answers, "Dean's here?"

Claire smiles at both Dean and Castiel,

Dean gives Alex a small finger wave.

Alex smiles back to Dean and nods slightly in acknowledgement.

Patience smiles and starts walking.

Dean smiles back at Patience.

Claire grabs Sam's arm and links up with him. "Damn I forget how tall you are sometimes. I'm improvising. You and I are walking down together. That cool?"

Sam looks down at her. "Cool."

He and Claire walk down the aisle together as Dean grins at the two of them.

Eileen swallows hard watching the wedding procession.

Dean leans over and whispers to Benny, "Everyone looks real good."

Claire grins at Dean and whispers to Sam, "He's so clueless …"

Sam nods in agreement as Dean smiles widely and gives Claire double thumbs up.

Charlie turns to Cas and Eileen and winks. "See you on the other side!"

Cas "What?" Eileen just smiles at him.

Charlie walks down the aisle, scattering petals as she goes.

Claire splits from Sam and takes her place with the bridesmaids while Sam rejoins Dean.

"Told you I wouldn't be far."

Charlie winks at Dean and he mouths back, "Love you sis."

Claire smiles at Charlie and winks at her. Charlie winks back.

Dean leans over and ask "Sammy, who's getting married again?"

Sam stands next to Dean, helping him stay still and whispers to him, "You'll see."

"Okay."

Eileen fixes her necklace and is ready to go.

She and Castiel walk down the aisle.

Dean has to catch his breath. "Oh man! Look at them, Sammy!"

Cas sees Dean at the altar as Eileen grabs his arm tighter. "Here we go."
