Chapter 2: Rio Santana

"Sam what do you mean, we're going to the rainforest?" Dean asked, as he watched his brother walk from the closet to the bed carrying clothes, and then stuffing them in a duffle bag.

"I said that I was going to the rainforest, you don't have to, but you can if you want to.." Sam answered back, never looking at his brother, just heading out the door with his duffle bag over his shoulder.

"Sam, why is this man so important to you?" Dean asked, his voice filled with curiosity and concern.

Sam stopped dead in his tracks, and slowly turned to look at Dean, his eyes filled with a fierce intensity. "When I was in school, I took a trip to spend a semester of school living in an old indigenous village in the rainforest. I met Rio there, and he was an outcast. I couldn't figure it out… How he could be thrown out of the village, he helped them out so much, so I started to follow him, to see what he did. He called me on it one day. Asked me why I was so interested in him." Sam said, and took a breath, looking up at his brother.

"It was hard for me to tell him exactly why I was following him, there was just this connection, and when I told him that I felt this pull to him, he nodded and said that he felt the same thing when he was near me." Sam shuddered as he thought about what had happened that day in the forest. "We got to talking and he told me how he could change forms into a leopard, and how he had killed a man that had killed his mother, and that was why the village ignored him, why he had to live in the forest. I told him about our family, and how mom was killed, and he understood." Sam smiled at the thought. "He knew what it was like to lose a mother… The night when we talked was the first time that I had a vision in my sleep.

"I had dreamt of Rio dying, of a man attacking him from behind, and stabbing him. It had felt so real, and the next day when Rio felt that something was wrong with me, I told him about the dream, but told him that it was probably nothing. He told me that there were others that had visions, and that he would take the warning seriously." Sam looked shaken as he searched for the words to tell what had happened next.

"Later that day, he was attacked from behind, but I took the hit for him, and ended up getting my side slashed open. He fought off the guy, and then saved my life, taking me back to his house, and introducing me to his friends." Sam said, and when Dean looked at him shocked, Sam lifted his shirt, and showed Dean the scar on his side. It was white, and about eight inches long. There were little white dots where it had been sewed.

"Why didn't you tell me Sammy?" Dean asked, as he looked at the wound.

"You would have blamed him Dean, I know your temper. I saved him, and he saved me, it was as simple as that. I promised to visit him again sometime, when I left, but I didn't think I would have to save his life again." Sam said solemnly. He started back down the hall, when he felt a hand on his shoulder.

"Give me a few minutes Sam, and I'll go with you. I just have to pack a few things first." Dean said, and when Sam nodded, Dean ran to his room, and started to pack his things.

It was ten minutes later when Sam and Dean were walking out the door, having said good-bye to their father, who was staying behind to keep the place in order, and keep the city safe while they were gone. "I dread the moment when you and Rio meet." Sam said, a smirk playing over his face, and Dean looked at him curiously; as they took their seats on the plane. "You two are so alike, it's going to be like a power play, and believe me when I say this, there will probably be blood shed." Sam laughed, and Dean looked at him, wondering if he were right.

"Well if he gets on my nerves, I might have to sock him one." Dean said, and Sam snorted.

"Oh I have no doubt you two will knock each other around, but you two are pretty evenly matched, so I don't know who to put my money on." Sam said, and Dean looked offended. "Hey if it were anyone else, I would put my money on you, but Rio is stubborn, hard-headed, and filled with macho-ness…" Sam said putting his hands up to defend himself, and then adding under his breath, "just like you." Dean looked at him, but Sam pretended as if he were alone, and didn't feel the heat of his brother's stare.

Sam shut his eyes, tired from the days events, and when he opened them only minutes later as the plane hit some turbulence, he saw that Dean had gone a few shades paler in skin color.

"Still not good with planes?" Sam asked, his voice a mixture of concern and humor.

Dean flipped Sam off, and then answered, "Dude the last time we were on a plane, the captain was possessed and almost killed us all, so excuse me if I'm not really comfortable on a plane." Dean's answer was gruff, and almost sounded as if he were going to be sick.

"Fine, you don't have to be a bitch about it." Sam said and closed his eyes again, wrapping his right hand around his left wrist in a protective gesture.

Dean was about to make a smart-ass comment back at Sam when he saw how exhausted his brother looked, and how protective his posture was. Dean knew, even if Sam didn't want to admit it, that his brother was tired, and obviously still recovering from what Emma had done to him, and he was both mentally and physically exhausted. Emma added to the fact that the visions his brother was now getting, were causing him debilitating pain; his brother couldn't handle much more. Dean knew that once Sam was done saving Rio, he was going to make his brother take a vacation, and what better place than the rainforest?

It was about five hours later and both brothers were sleeping when a message came over the intercom. "Ladies and gentlemen, please put on your seatbelts, we will be landing in approximately five minutes." Came the chipper announcement. Dean awakened at the sound, but Sam, didn't even stir, and Dean had to hold back a laugh.

Dean put his hand on Sam's shoulder, and shook him awake. "What za hell?" Sam slurred, and Dean laughed.

"Put on your seatbelt Sammy, we're landing." Dean said, as he pulled the strap over his lap, and buckled it in. Sam did the same, and they started to descend. They hit another patch of turbulence, and Dean's hand clamped over his unconsciously. His face paled, and Sam had to stifle a laugh that threatened to burst from his mouth.

A few minutes later when the actually landed, Dean lifted his hand, and cleared his throat when he saw what he had been doing. There was a white imprint on Sam's hand from Dean's, and Sam moved his fingers to try and get circulation back in them. Sam stood and grabbed his duffle from the overhead compartment, and Dean did the same, both walking down the isle, and stepping off the bottom of the steps.

Sam took a deep breath and smiled. The air was so fresh here, it felt as if it hadn't been disrupted b the dealings of everyday life, as it had been in the States. The airport wasn't very big, and there weren't many passengers on the flight, only about eighteen people were on the plane, not including the pilot and the crew. When you looked around, just off the runway, trees formed a forest, and Sam was happy to see it again.

Dean was already annoyed with this place. It was beautiful, there was no doubt about it, and his brother seemed to be happy to be here, but Dean was sweating from the humidity; and mosquitoes were biting him left and right; though Sam didn't seem to have that problem. Dean grumbled, and then followed his brother, when he saw that Sam had spotted a man that he seemed to know.

Sam looked around, and smiled when he saw Kim Pang standing about forty feet away from him. His brother Tama was standing right next to him, and he started to walk over to them, hearing Dean grumble, and follow him. He saw Kim and Tama smile when they saw him. Sam was happy to see them after not having seen the men for over a year and a half.

When Sam reached Kim and Tama, he stopped and extended him hand saying, "It is so good to see you, Kim, Tama." He addressed them both and was surprised when Kim shook his hand and then pulled him into a hug. Tama did the same, and all three smiled, until Dean cleared his throat and Sam blushed. "Kim, Tama; this is my brother, Dean. Dean this is Kim and Tama Pang." Sam said, motioning to each man as he pronounced their names.

Sam became serious almost immediately after that, and said, "Kim, can you take us to Rio?"

Kim looked startled at the question and the serious look on Sam's face, but nodded slowly. "Yes I was headed there myself when I got your call. I wanted to check up on him and Rachael." Kim said, and Sam looked at him puzzled.

"Rachael?" He asked, and Kim and Tama nodded, both smiling.

"Yeah, someone finally roped him in. She is just as stubborn as he is; and they were married in April." Kim said, and Sam laughed.

"I never thought anyone would be able to put up with Rio." He said, and all three laughed.

"Oh, she doesn't put up with his crap, she would kick him out, and make him sleep in the trees if he did something that she didn't like." When Sam looked curiously at him, Kim said, "She is of the leopard people too." Sam nodded, and was about to smile, when pain ripped through his mind once again, making him sway. He dropped his bag and grabbed his head, a gasp escaping his lips.

"Sammy?" Dean asked, as he saw his brother drop his bag and grab his head. He watched as his brother swayed, and caught him as he fell. Kim and Tama looked at him, and Dean said; "Vision," but offered no other explanation than that. Tama and Kim accepted the answer and helped Dean hold Sam up, as moans escaped his lips.

Sam seemed to regain his balance after a few minutes, but the pain in his head was almost blinding. He blinked a few times and forced his eyes open, even with the pain it caused him. "We need to get to Rio as fast as we can. He's in trouble." Sam said, and Tama and Kim looked at him serious and nodded.

"Same one?" Dean asked, and Sam nodded; saying nothing, just looking worn out. He followed after Kim and Tama without a word, and Dean followed him, asking, "How long is the hike?"

"About two and a half hours, it depends if it rains or not." Kim said, and the brothers nodded. They started the hike, and except for the complaints from Dean about the mosquitoes, the humidity and the mud; it was quite and went by pretty fast. Before they knew it, they had stopped and were looking at a house that was in a tree. Sam made a high pitched whistle, as did Kim, and Tama; each of them a little different.

Dean watched as a man and a woman came out of the house, and watched as the smiles slid across both the man's and his brother's faces. The man jumped down, an imposible distance, but it didn't hurt him at all, and then the woman did the same. The man walked over to Sam and pulled him into a hug.

When they pulled apart the man looked curiously at Dean, and Sam said; "Rio Santana, meet my brother, Dean Winchester." The man stuck out his hand and Dean shook it, both had a white knuckle grip on each other's hands, and Sam, Kim and Tama smirked. It was going to be a long day...
