"Free Day"

Continuation to /s/13697690/28/ and /s/13873321/19/ (just add the fanfiction and the dot and the net to each one).

Turns out, Valerie actually liked these guys. Sam, Dean and Castiel.

They opened her eyes to a world beyond ghosts (whatever kind they may be), to monsters and demons and gods.

"No shit." She whispered in the ice-cream parlour at the mall, where she had chosen to meet with the boys (she didn't know why she thought of them that way, since they weren't boys) in her day off.

(Surrounded by witnesses in a location she knew very well; J.J. Bittenbinder wouldn't catch her being taken to no secondary location, no sir.)

Dean snorted. "Yeah shit." He dug into his sorbet with no fear of a brain freeze, and she believed him, only someone with no fear for the gods would do such a thing. "What you need to always have in mind," he continued, even as he looked with contempt at Sam's fruit 'shake, "is that all these so called 'higher beings'? They are dicks."

"And probably want your soul, or possess your body." Sam had the face of someone who had dealt with this shit for a long time. "Or both."

"Well, the soul part is new." She took a sip of her own drink and turned determined eyes on the brothers. "How do you beat them?"

Had they not been in a place crowded by so many teens, Dean would have taken the Angel Blade hidden on his boot and jeans' leg and put it on the table, but as it was, Sammy got to answer.

"It depends, really." He said to Valerie's captive attention. "You need to be able to identify which creature they are, if they are a god what their pantheon is, sometimes there are different classifications within the same species, like with ghosts- do you think Amity's library has a good folklore and myths section? We could go check it out and tell you which books seem legit so you are ready."

(Street smarts, Valerie, streets smarts.)

"Sure. But it'll have to be next week. Got a lot of homework, you see."

Once Valerie had left (all the while making sure she wasn't being tailed), Dean turned to his little brother.

"Well done, stranger danger. You scared the kid away."

"Better late than ever", I say as I kick myself for being late to finishing the event.
