A/N: Hello my dear readers! I wrapped up this chapter in my new AKF shirt, it gave me all the feels and excitement. Big thanks to everyone who continues to follow my story and also to the newer follows and favorites. You guys make my heart happy :) Here's my latest installment, let me know what you think.

eldaearien: Thank you for the review! These new characters are so great to write. Be prepared for lots of fun ;)

After a few drinks and a long explication, with commentary from everyone in the room, Ana sat on the floor in front of the bed that Kellen sat on, waiting for him to process everything and say something. Gabriel walked over to the pair, standing next to Ana, he looked down at her as he spoke. "I think you broke him, princess."

"Shut it, Gabe. It's just a lot to take in, he needs some time to think through it all." she smacked his leg with the back of her hand.

Dean stood up from his seat at the table, carrying a cup with amber colored liquor it in. While he, Sam, Connor, and Ana had been drinking since they had opened the bottle, Kellen had dismissed the offer. Holding the cup out, Dean sighed, "You look like you could use this now."

It was like Dean's words brought Kellen back to life and he stood up quickly, panic filling in the blank look that had been in his eyes moments before. "So you two are witches," he gestured back and forth between Connor and Ana, "These two are angels and then you have the two normal, human guys that kill monsters." He had began to pace, bringing his thumb to his mouth to bite at the nail.

"Stop biting your nails, Kellen." Ana chided out of reflex. It had been a bad habit of his since they were kids and his mother had basically programmed it into the girls to tell him to stop any time they saw it.

Kellen stopped and turned to look at her, "Really, Anastasia? You just get done telling me that you're a witch and you're going to worry about me biting my nails?"

She laughed softly, "You may have a point." Standing off of the floor, she walked over to him and placed a hand on his shoulder, "I know it's a lot to take in, but I need to make sure you understand that you can't tell anyone about this. Not Heather or Callie, not even Gwen."

He sighed, though he was panicking on the inside at having to digest all of this new information, he could tell that Ana was just as worried that he would accidentally tell someone he wasn't supposed to. "Of course I understand that this is a secret, Ana." he wrapped her in a hug, "I've kept many of your secrets over the years, I'm not going to start spilling them now."

"You know secrets?!" Gabe hurriedly moved toward them, basically ripping Ana away from Kellen. "Tell me everything!"

Dean shook his head and downed the whiskey that he had offered Kellen, "Gabe, he just said he wouldn't tell anyone anything." He pointed out as he walked over to them, "So how much will it cost for me to get them written down?"

Ana shook her head, "You two are ridiculous."

"Well at least I know where you get it from now." Kellen told her with a grin, before turning to give the room another look. His eyes landed on Connor, "So… on top of all the crazy, you two are soul mates as well, right?" he questioned, turning his attention back to Ana.

She nodded, "So says the archangel and though Gabe has his days, when it comes to stuff like this he's normally right."

"Normally right?" Gabe questioned, sounding offended. "Of course I'm right, even Cas will agree with me, this pairing has been in the works almost as long as John and Mary were."

Castiel nodded, "It is true, Ana. Though technically not as high on the scale as the creation of Dean and Sam, the offspring created between the Mohr and Good witch lines is just as needed as both of them." he gestured to the Winchester men.

Kellen strode over to Connor, who had moved to sit at the table with Sam and Cas, and glared down at him, "You may be soul mates or whatever, but if you hurt her, witch or not, I will end your life."

"Alright." Ana hurried over to Kellen, pushing him back, "I know you like to go into overprotective, big brother mode, but he's already gotten the warning from everyone in this room, but Cas. I think it's a safe bet that he's not going to hurt me." When Kellen wouldn't focus on her, his eyes still glaring at Connor, her jaw tensed. "Kellen Robert Feragen, do you want me to kick your ass?"

The tone in Ana's voice pulled his attention away from the witch at the table and he looked down at her, "I haven't seen you in years, Ana, and now you come back to save my hide, then drop all of this on me." he sighed, "I just want to make sure that you're going to be okay, after everything you've been through, ya know?"

Ana's expression softened, she did know. When she had been tortured as a child Kellen and Gwen had been by her side for days afterward, never leaving her alone and reassuring her that everything would be fine. Even as the mental damage of what happened seemed to bury itself in the back of her mind, Kellen had been there to comfort her anytime it resurfaced. "I know it's a lot, but trust me when I say that with these guys is probably the safest place for me. You've always been family, but they're family too, so you're just going to have to deal with your pseudo little sister being a witch and having a soulmate." she poked him in the chest once before giving him a smile. "Plus, they know I can take them all on."

"Someone's full of herself." Dean muttered as he filled his cup up with more whiskey.

"Like we don't know where she picked that trait up from." Sam commented, causing both Gabe and Connor to snicker.

With a shake of her head, Ana turned away from Kellen to glance at the one clock in the room. "Alright, I don't know about you guys, but I'm ready to sleep." she told everyone. Though Gabriel's grace had healed her hours before, it seemed the her body was catching up to the fact that other than the coma and the restless thirty minutes of sleep she had gotten with her vision of Kellen, she hadn't rested much at all.

"Ana's right. We could all use some rest, guess it's time to call it a night." Sam agreed as he stood up from his spot at the table.

Kellen hadn't realized how late.. early it was. The sun was due to come up in the next hour or so and he was ready to actually sleep in a real bed, instead of being knocked unconscious, tied up in a basement. "I guess I'll head home."

His words made Ana look back to him, "Yeah, there's no way you're going home right now. Your family has been searching for you for over a week and if you suddenly appear back at your apartment looking fine, there are going to be too many questions that we don't want to answer to. You can crash on the extra bed in here and in the morning we'll figure out what we're going to tell everyone."

"But…" He began to argue, but she quickly cut him off.

"But nothing. Just trust me on this one, alright? We have the extra bed, all Connor and I have to do is clear our bags off and it's yours for the night." She explained, "Once everyone has had some sleep, we can figure out our next move."

Sam and Dean gathered up their jackets and the one, almost empty bottle of booze left. "She's got a point." Dean offered as help, before giving Ana a one arm hug. "We'll see you guys in the morning." he said as he released her and headed for the door.

Cas and Gabe shared a look, "Guess we'll go see if we can track down anything new on Jade. If anything comes up, we'll let you know." Gabe informed everyone before he and his brother quickly disappeared.

Kellen's eyes went wide as the sudden disappearance. "Don't think too hard on it, kid. It will just give you a headache." Dean told him before giving them each one last look and walking out the door, shortly followed by Sam.

Connor stood up and walked over to Ana, tilting her head up so he could get a good look at her face. "You should have gone to bed hours ago." he commented, being able to see the exhaustion settling into her eyes.

"I'm fine." she assured him with a small smile, "Though I call first dibs on the bathroom for changing." With that, she grabbed a pair of sweats and an old tee shirt out of her bag before heading toward the bathroom and closing the door behind her.

"You're good for her." Kellen spoke up, giving Connor a weary glance before sitting down at the foot of the bed with the bags still on it. "When she was with Luke it was like she was a completely different person, she wasn't Ana anymore. I've seen you with her all of a couple of hours and can tell you do the exact opposite."

Connor turned to look at Kellen, seeming to take him in for the first time. When he had threatened him all Connor saw was another guy he would have to handle being watched by for being in Ana's life, but as he looked at him now, he could see that there was more to him than that. "She's different, probably more so than whatever Luke had caused, but she's stronger because of it. Everything that has happened in the short amount of time we've known each other has taken a toll on her, but I personally think that she was destined to become this person. Sass and all." he spoke as he moved over to the bed Kellen was on and gathered up their bags to move to the ground.

"Are you saying I'm sassy?" Ana questioned as she came out of the bathroom, her dirty clothes bundled in her arms.

Connor grinned, "I've been trying to say that for a while, but you believe it as much as Gabriel does about himself." he teased, placing two of their three bags on the table and the other near their bed. Ana shook her head at him, dropping her clothes in her bag then taking her pistol over to the bed and hiding it under her pillow. "Here." Connor grabbed a tee shirt and some sweats out of his bag, turning to hand them to Kellen.

"Thanks." Kellen muttered, taking the clothes and heading for the bathroom to change. Once the door was shut behind him, he sucked in a deep breath and moved toward the sink. Turning on the cold water, he splashed his face a couple of times before turning it back off. It had been years since he had seen Ana and not only had she saved his life, but she had opened his eyes to a part of the world he wasn't certain he was ready for.

After the bathroom door closed Ana sighed and sat down on the bed, looking over at Connor as he grabbed another set of clothes out of his bag for himself. "So I've been thinking…"

"That's always trouble." He teased, turning around to look at her. With a soft sigh at the worried expression on her face, he moved over to the bed and sat down next to her. "What's on your mind, Red?"

Stifling a yawn, she rested her head against his shoulder. "I think that I should spend a couple of days here. With everything going on with Jade and cage, Michael and Lucifer... " she paused a moment, the weight of what all was going on in her life seeming to come down on her again, "Just take what little time I have and spend some of it with Heather, Kellen, and his family. I've been so caught up in all of this witch and hunting stuff that I haven't been making anytime for the normal people in my life."

Connor wrapped an arm around her shoulders and pulled her close, "Sometimes I think we all forget that you have people outside of our little group that are important to you. It's easy to lose focus of those who aren't in direct danger from what we're in the middle of." He kissed the top of her head, "How about we stay in town for a couple of days? You can introduce me to the rest of Kellen's family, show me around town? Then when you've had your fill of them or we need to go off on a job, we'll leave?"

"I like the sound of that." She agreed, snuggling into his side. "After we get everything taken care of in the morning, I'll tell dad and Sam about our plan. Gabe and Cas can keep us updated on any movement from Jade and if they need us we can go to help."

Connor nodded, "I have a feeling that we're not going to hear anything on Jade for a while. She'll need to find another way to open the cage and I don't see that as being an easy task."

"Oh, you have a feeling?" Ana raised an eyebrow at him, "Since when are you the psychic in this relationship?"

"You're psychic too?" Kellen asked as he walked out of the bathroom, brow furrowed in question.

She sighed and unwrapped herself from Connor so he could go change. "Sort of. I have visions sometimes."

Slowly nodding, he made his way over to the bed he would be spending the night in and sat down on it so that he was facing Ana. "So… can you tell me the winning lottery numbers?" he asked with a teasing grin.

Connor chuckled and went into the bathroom to change. Ana shook her head and turned to face Kellen, "If I could do that, don't you think I would be staying somewhere a bit classier than this rundown motel?"

He shrugged his broad shoulders, "I've always known you've liked the trashier things in life." The statement was said as he tried to fight back a laugh at his own words.

Ana's jaw dropped in disbelief, but she quickly composed herself. Snapping her mouth closed, she aimed a glare at him before snatching a pillow off of her bed and throwing it at him. He was too busy laughing to block it so the pillow smacked him right upside the head. "I may not be the classiest woman out there, but I am far from trashy. Thank you very much."

"I feel like I came back into the room at the wrong moment." Connor muttered as he exited the bathroom, now wearing a pair of sweats and a tee shirt.

"This heathen had the nerve to call me trashy." Ana crossed her hands over her chest and stood up, walking away from both of the beds.

Kellen slowly pulled himself together, shaking his head at Ana with a big grin on his face, "Oh, come on, you know you've missed my sense of humor!" He had missed teasing her, it was so easy to get her worked up in a huff, but she'd also cool down quickly. It was one of the things that made it easier for them to get along than it had been with his sisters. Once he'd gotten them started, they would stay mad for days.

Connor glanced back and forth between the two, being able to sense that Ana wasn't really mad at all, but just messing with Kellen. It was nice to see her relaxing a little. With everything going on with the cage and Jade, she'd been so tense with worry. With the roll of her eyes, he watched her turn around to face Kellen again, "I guess I missed it a little." She gave him a soft smile before yawning.

"And that's the que. Get in bed, Ana, you need to rest." Connor instructed. Moving toward the door of the room to lock it and turn off the lights. The sun was just barely peaking over the horizon so the sky was light enough outside to allow them to see where they were going in the room. By the time he turned around to walk back to the bed he would be sharing with Ana, she and Kellen were both laying down. Quietly, he moved across the room and climbed into bed, smiling to himself as Ana moved closer to him. He wrapped an arm around her and pulled her body closer to his, finding comfort in her presence just as he could feel she felt from being wrapped in his arms. "Good night." he whispered to her, placing a kiss just behind her ear before closing his eyes and letting his exhaustion pull him under.

-A-

"Come on, Ana, time to wake up." Connor placed a hand on her shoulder and shook her slightly. He and Kellen had been up for a while, both already showered and in fresh clothes, Kellen in more that Connor leant him. He sighed and shook his head as she grumbled at him, covering her head up with the bed's comforter.

"She's always been like that. I can't tell you how many creative things Gwen and I came up with to get her to wake up when we were younger." Kellen commented, taking a sip of the watered down coffee he had brewed shortly before in the room's small, dingy coffee pot.

Connor glanced over at him, "You think after spending three days in a coma, she'd feel a little more rested and be easier to get up." He turned and looked back at the lump under the blankets that was Ana. "Red, if you don't get up I will go get your dad and let him get you up."

She groaned, "I will lock you out of the room the moment you leave."

"You and I both know a locked door can't keep me or either of the men next door out of here. Now get up. It's just passed ten and we still need to figure out what we're going to tell everyone about where Kellen's been." He told her, moving toward the door suddenly and opening it to reveal both Dean and Sam on the other side, the latter with his fist raised to knock.

Dean shook his head as he walked in, "You and your witchy senses." Giving a quick glance around the room, his eyes fell on the human shaped lump under the blankets on one of the beds. "Can't get sleeping beauty to wake up?"

"He's been trying for ten minutes." Kellen offered from his perch against the counter attached to the sink across the room.

Dean scoffed, "Connor's too nice to her. Sometimes," he directed his words to the witch himself, "you have to get mean." Walking over to the bed, he stood at the foot of it and threw the bottom of the blankets back. He quickly grabbed around her ankles and pulled her down the bed, causing her let out a small sound of surprise and land on the floor with a thud.

Pushing herself up, Ana glared at her father, choosing to ignore the snickers of the other men in the room. "One of these days-"

"Don't even waste your time threatening me. Now get up and get dressed, we have stuff to do today." Dean instructed, arms crossed over his chest as he looked down at her.

She moved quickly, sweeping her legs against his which effectively knocked them out from underneath him and caused him to come crashing to the floor. Grinning, she stood up, "Come on, dad, get up. We have things to do today." Ana stuck her tongue out at him before turning to grab her duffle and walk into the bathroom.

Dean grumbled as he got up off of the floor, glaring at his brother who was laughing. "What?" Sam questioned, "You've had that coming for a while."

"Whatever. Bitch." Dean moved to sit at the table.

"Jerk." Sam instantly responded, watching his brother move with a slight gimp in his step. He did land pretty hard on his hip, but it was too good not to chuckle at again. "So, we need to come up with a convincing story to tell everyone about why Kellen was missing for so long." he offered the change of subject.

Kellen shrugged, taking another drink from the flimsy paper cup in his hand. "You mean we shouldn't tell my family and the police that I was kidnapped and beaten by a gang of drug dealers because I didn't make a money drop on time and that I was saved by a couple of witches and two guys that hunt monsters?"

"That last part might get you locked up in a mental hospital." Connor commented, moving to sit next to Dean. "You guys are good at making up stories on the fly, you should be able to come up with something believable, right?" he looked back and forth between the Winchester brothers.

They shared a look, seeming to communicate something before Sam spoke out loud. "If we can convince his family that whatever happened wasn't bad, we may not even need to deal with the police." He offered, sounding hopeful.

"No, because then they'll still have a missing persons out for him and if for whatever reason something happens, they pull his name up in the system and there will be even more questions." Dean shook his head, dealing with the police was going to be the hardest part.

"I've got an idea!" Came Ana's voice as she threw open the bathroom door and steam flooded outward. In the short time she had lived at the bunker and while at college she had mastered taking a complete shower in under five minutes. She had gotten dressed, but her hair was still wrapped up in a towel and her toothbrush was hanging out the side of her mouth. "You're not going to enjoy the process of it though." she told her dad.

Dean gave her a calculating look, "What am I going to have to do?"

"Put on your fed suit." She answered innocently, as if she didn't know how much he loathed wearing the damn thing. "Local police won't ask too many questions if the feds walk in, saying that they need Kellen's name removed from any notice alerts. Ooo! Better idea." Ana pulled her toothbrush out of her mouth so she wasn't talking around it. "Marshals. Say that he's going into witness protection and you need the name removed for it to work."

They shared another look before Dean nodded, "That's actually not a half bad idea. What'dya think, Sammy?"

"If we play it right, it should work fine. Now, what are we going to tell your family?" Sam aimed the question at Kellen, figuring that he would have the best idea of what would work on them.

"We-" Kellen began, but was interrupted by Ana.

"We tell them as much of the truth as we can." She gave him a pointed look. "You're father will see right through almost any lie you can come up with, he knows you too well. Go with something vague, you got into a little bit of trouble, nothing too serious and we were able to help get you out of it. If they ask for details, just tell them it's something you don't want to talk about, but you promise it won't happen again."

Kellen sighed, "This is why I stopped sneaking you out with me your freshman year. We'd get caught and you'd pretty much fess up to everything."

She laughed, "No, if I had fessed up to everything your parents wouldn't have let us around each other ever again. Especially after that night at the hill climbs, we'd both be dead if they knew everything that happened that night."

Connor, Dean, and Sam all shared a questioning look. None of them had heard much talk of Ana doing anything crazy like she and Kellen were suggesting. "Do you think that will work? Will they try to pry too much?" Sam questioned, turning their collective focus back to the task at hand.

Kellen nodded, "I'm the only son and the oldest. Dad's made it pretty clear that unless it's something really bad, they don't need to pry into my life anymore."

Ana walked back into the bathroom, finished brushing her teeth and untangled her hair from the towel. Moving back into the main room, she brought her duffle with her and tossed it on the bed so she could dig for a pair of socks. "So, we have a plan. Sam and dad, you guys go deal with the local police and the three of us will head over to Kellen's parents house. We can meet there when you're done?"

"How are you going to get there without your car?" Dean questioned as he stood up from the table. He knew that they could teleport Kellen without a problem, but appearing randomly around the town would be a pretty bad idea.

Ana looked at Connor, raising her eyebrow in silent question, knowing that he would be able to figure out what she was thinking. "If we can find a secluded enough area, we can move it from the bunker to here. All we'd have to do is teleport to it and then teleport back with it." Connor assured him.

"Is that old barn out on seventy-eighth and King still abandoned?" Ana questioned Kellen as she sat down to put on her boots. "No one is ever out that far and if it's still standing, it'd be a good place."

He nodded as he stood away from the counter, "Yeah, I think it's still up. We still have the occasional party out at the Miller place, but it's been awhile." With a shrug, he walked over to the bed he'd been sleeping in earlier and grabbed his jacket off of it. "So you guys are going make the car appear out of thin air or something?"

"Pretty much. You wanna go for a ride?" Ana asked, wiggling her eyebrows at him in a very Gabriel-like manner. She stood up and pulled on her coat, walking around to the head of the bed to grab her pistol from underneath her pillow and slipping it into the waste of her jeans.

"You have got to stop spending so much time with Gabe." Dean muttered with a shake of his head as he turned toward the door. "We'll give you a call when we're done with the locals." he added, walking out the door without looking to see if Sam was following him.

Sam moved toward Ana, giving her a comforting pat on the shoulder, "We'll meet up with you guys as soon as we're done. Please don't get caught teleporting the whole car." he added before following after Dean.

"Alright. Off to the bunker we go." Ana stood next to Connor, "You're going to want to steal your stomach for this one, Kellen. The landing can cause a nauseous feeling the first time." She warned with a warm smile, but before he had much time to consider what she said, Ana reached out her hand and grabbed Kellen's arm. Sending a quick wink to Connor, she pulled on her power and teleported them all out of the motel room.

A/N(2): I know this chapter is a little slow and filler-y, but I'm hoping to get the next couple of chapters out pretty fast after this one (maybe in the next two or three days) so look forward to that :) Thanks for reading.
