Chapter Seven
UFO's and Talk of Souls
She stayed in her apartment for a few more days before finally getting antsy to go outside. After getting dressed in a pair of blue high heels and a black mini dress she left her apartment to find the two people that hated Crowley just as much as she did at the moment. Thankfully she didn't need to know exactly where they were because to find the brothers all you needed to do was find their car and that's basically like an address for them.
She popped up in the back seat of the empty Impala with the brothers nowhere in sight. She set there for a minute or two debating on getting out to find them or staying put. She knew that they would eventually find their way back here. Giving them a few minutes longer she finally heard the two boys approach the vehicle.
"Fake it. Fake it till you make it," she heard Dean say. She figured they were still discussing the soul business. Pandora didn't think they understood what it meant to get his soul back. The thing had been in that cage for almost a year and half now with Lucifer and Micheal... it would be in better shape if it had been a hell hound chew toy. Why Sam would want to stick that thing back in him she could never understand... humans were just so sentimental about things.
"What happened to you wanting me to be honest?" Sam questioned.
"Hey you want to be a real boy Pinocchio you got to act the part." Dean told him. Pandora didn't know what a Pinocchio was and would try to remember to look it up later.
"I was faking it Dean," Sam told him and finally they came into view. However they were so busy arguing they didn't even seem to notice her setting in the middle of the back seat. "Ever since we got back on the road together I was picking every fricking word. It's exhausting."
"Okay, alright," Dean began. Pandora hoped they would be done soon. "But until we get you back on the soul train I'll be your conscious. Okay?" Dean decided.
"So you're saying you'll be my Jiminy Cricket?" Sam questioned with another name she didn't know.
"Shut up, but yeah you fricking puppet. That's exactly what I'm saying." And with Dean saying that he finally opened the door and she saw him jump a bit in surprise when he saw her setting in the back seat of his car. She gave him a wave and smile.
"Hi Dean," she greeted him and at hearing the other door open and Sam caught her eye she gave him the same greeting. "Hi Sam."
"What are you doing here?" Sam asked as he slid into the passenger beside Dean as the older brother started the vehicle.
"You have any good news for us?" Dean asked at the same time as Sam's question.
"No, nothing on the soul front and I was bored so I thought I would check in with my second favorite hunters." She told them.
"Second favorite?" Dean asked offended. "How can we be your second? How many hunters can you possibly know?"
"Just three but Bobby's my favorite even if he does have horrible fashion since and drinks really bad liquor." She answered him. Then she casually ran her eyes over the two boys. "Well you two don't really have that much better since of fashion but you are very easy on the eyes... so that works in your favor."
"Thanks... I think?" Dean said as he pulled out of his parking space.
Dean saw her give him a big smile from the rear-view mirror.
"So what are you guys hunting? You are hunting something right? I'm not interrupting some brother to brother moment am I?" She asked as she leaned forward in her seat to be closer to them. She rested her elbows on the front seat between them as she stared from one brother to the other.
"Um no, four people have vanished from this town so we thought we would take a look." Dean explained.
"Did Crowley ask you to come here?" She questioned. She watched Sam shake his head no. "Okay good so what's the theory?" She asked curiously.
"The people think its aliens." Dean told her with a sarcastic smile. Pandora tilted her head to the left in confusion. Dean wouldn't say it out loud because he didn't want Pandora to bitch slap him but the look made him think of Cas when he didn't understand something.
"Or we could believe the crazy lady and it could be fairies." Sam said.
"Fairies... I didn't think they stilled existed on Earth." Pandora commented and she was sure if Dean wasn't driving that his head would have whipped around to look at her in disbelief.
"Are you fricking serious?" Dean asked unbelieving.
"They're all kind of things out there you don't know about Dean." Pandora told him calmly. "You didn't know about me for instance."
"Okay, well yeah that's true but until I meet a fairy I'm not really going to believe it; same with aliens." Dean told and Pandora just shrugged carelessly.
"So where are we going?" Pandora asked as they continued down the road.
"Going to go question the first missing person's dad," Dean answered her. "And you are going to wait in the car. We don't need any of your funny business in there okay?"
"Fine," Pandora sighed in reluctant agreement as she fell back into her seat in defeat. The rest of the ride she sat slumped in the middle of the back seat with her arms spread out like wings. Dean continued to take glances of her through the rear-view mirror. He wanted to laugh at her childish behavior but he held it in. He was happy she was enjoying this ride in Baby much more than the last one.
After the two had questioned Mr. Breighnam, a local watchmaker and father of the first boy to disappear Dean told Sam to keep a watch on him but no approaching him and after staring at Pandora he told her to keep him out of trouble.
Pandora was happy when the guy finally left work and headed to a bar. She and Sam sat at a little two person table as she made her way through a bottle of wine and Sam a beer.
"So," she began with a sigh, "this is boring." Pandora commented. "I thought hunting was more exciting and dangerous. I thought it would be more stabbing and shooting ugly things. You know, saving the day and getting the girl... or boy I'm not particular but this is nothing but people watching. I've done enough of that to last me several life times."
Sam laughed at her. "Yeah, but you have to do your homework first. Find out what you're hunting so you can know how to kill it instead of it killing you." Sam explained before taking another drink of his beer. Pandora poured more wine into her glass.
"Well, at least this guy likes his alcohol so it's not a complete waste of time." She commented as she took another glance at the man they were watching.
"Yeah, I think we should question him again. I think he knows something he isn't telling us and Dean thought so too." Sam said and was about to get up from the table when Pandora grabbed onto his shoulder and pushed him back down in his seat. Sam looked surprised at the force behind it.
"No, you heard Dean. Observe only." Pandora reminded him. "I can't be your um what did you call it... the Cricket thing." Pandora told him as she waved her hands around to make her point. Sam looked at her amused. "We are two soulless... things. I don't make good moral decisions, Sam... Actually I usually end up doing the opposite. I mean I literally dated The Devil."
"Okay, alright, point taken. I'll call Dean." Sam assured her. She nodded her consent before going back to her wine and Sam watched as she pulled a small book out of thin air and started to read. She only glanced over when Dean started shouting over the phone about a 'close encounter.' She listened to their conversation with an amused smile plastered on her face. Sam hung up when Dean stopped responding and Pandora watched as he took his next beer from the waitress before checking her out as she walked away.
"So, not that I would get in your way if you want to get all lustful with that waitress, Hell, I would lend you some help if you know for some reason she's dumb or blind but maybe we should go look for Dean first? You mentioned something about a butt thing… doesn't exactly sound sexy or pleasurable." She reminded him.
"What oh yeah, let's go see what's up." Sam agreed.
It was dark when they reached the corn field and the only thing they found was Dean's cell phone but Dean himself was nowhere to be found.
"I'm sure we'll find him," Pandora tried to reassure him but then realized that soulless Sam probably only cared so much. So after glancing around the corn field for any hint of what happened to the oldest brother she followed after Sam.
They both walked until they came across a UFO believer group camp and Sam made his way over to a guy they had apparently questioned earlier in the day. The conversation didn't take long to go downhill when Sam basically told the guy he sucked at hunting UFO's even after doing it for thirty years. Pandora agreed with Sam. Thirty years and no concrete proof... that was just sad. Before it could get any more out of control a pretty red haired girl joined the conversation and Pandora could see that Sam had lost all focus on Dean when the girl offered her help.
"I'm going back to the bar. I need more alcohol." She announced to Sam as he walked away with his new friend.
"Oh are you sure?" Sam asked.
"Do you really care?" She asked right back already knowing the answer.
"No, not really."
"Alright then, you have my number call me but only for something important; you're dying, you find Dean, or you know if you just want some company later." She couldn't resist the last part; she was just flirty by nature. He gave her a smile and a nod before going their separate ways. She didn't understand what was so bad about soulless Sam. They seemed to get along just fine.
After spending the night at the bar until closing she made her way to the less than fantastic motel that the brothers were staying in to rent a room. It wasn't a place she wanted to stay at but she figured she would stay close by in case something major went down.
She was fast asleep when her phone started ringing. Groaning she looked to see that it was just a few minutes past four in the morning and Sam was calling her.
"This better be important." She greeted him.
"Dean just got back." Was all he told her before hanging up on her. She glared at the phone for another moment before getting out of bed. With a sigh she popped her way into the brothers' room.
"Dean!" She shouted happily moving over to the agitated looking hunter. "I'm so glad your back. I was worried."
"Yeah well at least someone was." Dean commented shooting a glare at Sam. "Please tell me you weren't shaking up with some dude while I was gone?" He asked her.
"Uhh no I was sleeping." She told him honestly. "Alone." She clarified. "Not that it's any of your business if I was. Am I missing something here?"
"I was abducted and Sam was with some girl instead of looking for me! I thought I left you with him to keep him out of trouble." Dean explained to her. His voice was angry and she didn't appreciate being scolded.
Pandora moved until she was just a few inches away from Dean and the dangerous aura around her was not lost even when she had to look up at him. Her emerald eyes seemed to glow with her anger.
"You listen to me Winchester I came here on my own free will to help you, I've been looking into the Sam soulless thing, and I even stayed in this shitty motel so I would be nearby if Sam or you needed me." She told him and her voice was deadly calm.
Dean watched her wearily. Pandora was someone he had never been on the bad side of and other than using a little Lust on him he hadn't really seen what she was capable of.
"I think you're forgetting just who you are talking to. You may have gotten comfortable talking to Angels and Demons like you're almighty since you stopped the end of the world but you still have a soul and you've seen what the seven deadly sins can do when a demon has that power. Now imagine what that power could do coming from the original owner and thank carefully about your next words to me."
Dean brought his hands up into a surrendering position. "Okay, I'm sorry. It's just been a weird day."
Pandora stared at him for another few second before giving him a small smile. She then turned and went to set on the bed they didn't look like it had been used. She agreed with him it had been a weird day.
She watched the brothers' talk for a bit apparently Dean thought he had been gone only an hour which was way off since it was already past four in the morning. Surprisingly Sam did seem to have done some research before getting down and dirty with the girl he met at the UFO gathering. A time difference for alien abductions was a common occurrence.
Dean followed Pandora's example and avoided the used bed to set next to her as Sam brought him a drink and then another. Finally Sam took a set on the other bed before asking what exactly happened to the older Winchester brother.
"Well, uh, there was this," he seemed a little reluctant to share but Pandora thought it best not to rush him. Sam seemed to have the same idea. "God help me Sam there was this bright white light." Dean told them and Pandora fought down the laugh that was bubbling up to the surface this wasn't the time for laughs. She watched as Sam laid a comforting hand on Dean's leg and Dean stared at him unsure.
"It's okay," Sam reassured him but it didn't seem to have the same effect as it would have if Sam actually had a soul. "Safe room." Sam told him and after a look passed between them Sam took his hand back.
Dean continued his story of how the aliens took him to another place and as they tried to bring him to a table, or a probing table as Sam called it, he fought back. He seemed proud of himself as he said they weren't expecting him to fight back. He said that the aliens were so bright that he couldn't really see what they looked like. Pandora listened to this with only mild curiosity. The crazy night seemed to end as Sam suggested Dean to take a shower and the older brother agreeing.
Sam and Pandora sat in silence as they listened for the water to start running then Sam turned to Pandora expectantly. Pandora raised an eyebrow at him in return.
"So?" He finally asked.
"So... what exactly?" She questioned him right back.
"What do you think about what happened to Dean? Do you know anything about Aliens? I mean you've been around a long time right? Ever encounter one?" Sam asked her.
"I suppose it would be a matter of your definition of alien. I mean if you think about it an alien is someone from another place or planet in that case it could mean me, Death, Angels, and a whole bunch of other beings out there are aliens to you humans." Pandora explained to him. "BUT I will say that something just seems off about Dean's story. I'm not sure what it is yet but I couldn't imagine something that targeted him would just let him go."
"Yeah, all this is starting to sound a bit crazy. I never thought I would be hunting aliens." He told her.
"Yeah, well I guess you guys will be looking into this tomorrow?" She questioned and Sam nodded. "Ugh, boring. I'm going to do my own research but I'll be back. If I find something I'll let you guys know." She assured him. "Tell Dean I'm sorry I missed him freshly showered." She said with a flirty smile and laugh before disappearing in the blink of an eye and leaving the younger Winchester alone.
The next day the brothers found themselves back in the dinner that Sam and Pandora had shared a few drinks in last night. Sam had yet to hear anything back from the red head but he wasn't too worried.
"So on top of all the demons, the angels, the ghosts, and the skin walkers… and Pandora it turns out that there..." Dean let his sentence hang in the air between the two of them before leaning across the table. "So if aliens are actually real then what's next? Hobbits... seriously!"
Dean watched as Sam attention was focused on a tall brunette as he unashamedly checked her out. This of course led back to the events last night and how Sam should have handled Dean's disappearance if he had a soul. Dean told him how Sam should have been suffering without him and shouldn't have been banging the hippie UFO girl. Sam couldn't help but think to himself that maybe Pandora was on to something; souls were overrated.
She was having a late dinner with Death when she received the text message from Sam that Dean had called and said something had attacked him. No details were giving because Sam didn't have any, she texted that she would be there soon.
"Helping the Winchester brothers again?" Death asked her as he took a bite of pizza. They had decided to go back to Rinascita Pizzeria in Chicago since they had enjoyed the pizza and that a man would be scheduled for a surprised heart attack soon in this restaurant that wouldn't have a happy ending.
"Yeah, I've been bored and you've been busy." She told him.
"Hmm, just be careful. Those Winchester are nothing but trouble." He warned her. "Besides, I thought you would be busy elsewhere. I heard a rumor that you were seeing the new King of Hell... Crowley I think is his name?" Death questioned. Pandora shifted in her chair. Death always had the ability to make her feel unrestrained amounts of guilt. He was one of the few beings she has met that made her feel young and stupid.
"Well, I was but it didn't work out." She told him. She thought briefly about telling him of Crowley's plan to open Purgatory but she didn't want to have to set through a lecture on how she always chooses the worst companions so she kept it to herself for now. She did however bring up the matter of Sam's soul.
"It's still in the cage I take it?" Death questioned after a few minutes of long silence.
"As far as I know, I don't think they understand what they are asking for. That soul has been a punching bag for Lucifer and Micheal... I wouldn't want it anywhere near me. Being soulless isn't that bad." Pandora told him.
"You've never had a soul though it's a little bit different." Death told her.
"Right... But could you do it? Could you get Sam his soul back?" She asked him. Death was the only being she knew that could help the brothers with the request. If he said no Dean needed to start getting use to soulless Sam.
"I could but there would be the issue of putting the thing back in him." He answered her. Pandora's right eyebrow rose in question. "Putting it back in him would be worse than him not having it. It would be too damaged by now. It would leave the boy insane at best. But I could put up a wall to hold back the memories."
"Great, then do it!" Pandora told him; Death didn't look so thrilled or inclined to listen to her.
"But why should I? I am in the business of taking souls not returning them. If Dean Winchester wants to get his brother's soul back he can ask me himself but it will cost him. I'm not doing it for free." Death told her. Pandora nodded in understanding. She would not outright tell Dean that Death could get Sam his soul back but she could mentioning it to get him on the right track. "Now, I believe you need to get back to them?"
"Yeah, might be good idea... they think their hunting aliens." Pandora told him with a large smile that displayed her humor of the situation. Death made no comment. So with another quick smile and a promise to do dinner again soon she left him so he could get back to work.
Sam had gotten back to the motel room before her and she found them both staring into the microwave when she popped up behind them.
"What's going on?" She asked.
The brother's both turned to look at her and as they moved she got her first glance of what they had been looking at inside the microwave. Black blood and guts covered the entire inside of the microwave.
"Pandora, finally," Dean said seeming to be relieved that she was here. She gave him a smile in return. "Please, tell me that you can see all the... blah that's in the microwave?"
Her face scrunched up in disgust as she looked back at the 'blah' that was in the microwave. "Umm yeah unfortunately I can. What the hell happened?" She caught the triumphant look Dean sent Sam.
"Sam can't see it." Dean explained to her.
"Well, I wish I couldn't so lucky him... so once again what is that?" Pandora asked again.
"Yeah Dean what happened?" Sam asked as Dean shut the microwave so he and Pandora didn't have to look at it anymore.
"It was a little naked lady, okay?" Dean told them. Both of Pandora's eyebrows shot up at this.
"A what?" Sam asked not believing his ears.
"It was a little, glowing... hot... naked lady with nipples and she hit me." Dean explained again.
Pandora looked between the brothers not sure what to do in the situation. She realized early that day that they were not dealing with aliens but at the moment she was too stunned by Dean's story to tell them. She looked to Sam for a clue of what to do.
"I'm not supposed to laugh right?" Sam asked and from Dean's reaction she got the hint that this was not a laughing matter no matter how much she and apparently Sam wanted to. "Okay so shot in the dark, but did this little lady have wings?" Sam questioned getting back on track. Apparently the younger brother had done his research that Pandora didn't even need to tell them that they were not dealing with any aliens but fairies.
As Sam explained the history between fairies and aliens Dean glanced over to Pandora who had taking residence on his bed as the two brothers sat at a two chair table with Sam's laptop in between them.
"So you were serious with the fairy thing?" Dean asked her.
"Would I lie to you?" She asked back. He didn't answer so she just shrugged uncaring. "But yes I was serious." Pandora let the boys know that though she knew fairies existed she wasn't exactly on best friend level with them nor did she know a lot about them so the boys and her decided to go to an 'expert'; which was the so called 'crazy fairy lady' they had talked to earlier in the investigation.
The woman was a plump, middle aged, blonde woman who was overly friendly. She led the three of them to her kitchen table where she served them tea and cookies. Sam and Dean sat on one side of the table which meant Pandora sat on the other side and after the tea and cookies were on the table the lady took the last empty spot which was beside Pandora. She had to admit she liked the ladies hospitality. She thought that all humans should offer her tea and cookies. It would make the lot of them more pleasant to be around.
Pandora listened as she sipped on her tea and nibbled on her share of cookies as they lady explained all she knew about fairies. The woman was so overly happy to finally have people to believe her. She explained to the boys and Pandora who was half listening that fairies was a general term but they were many things listed under that such as gnomes, goblins, and etc. and that they didn't come from Earth but the realm next door; The Fairy Realm. The lady also explained how only people who had been to The Fairy Realm and returned could see them... which lead to both brothers giving Pandora curious looks... her answer was a flirty smile and a suggestive wink. They put two and two together and that was all the explanation they needed.
They also were told that she didn't know why they abducted people but it was always a first born son explaining why Dean was chosen.
Finally Dean had enough of the ladies overly cheerfulness and got down to the reason they were here; how to get rid of fairies.
"Well if you want to win a fairy favor leave a bowl of fresh cream; they love cream." She told them still to overly cheerful. Pandora was starting to detest it especially now that she had finished her tea and cookies.
"Okay," Dean began trying to stay friendly but also trying to get across what he really wanted to know, "and more forcefully?"
The woman seemed to have to think about it for a few seconds. "Well, all fairies hate iron and all dark fairies burn when touched with silver." She told them. "What else?" She asked herself ignoring the three set of eyes that were staring at her. "Oh! You could spill sugar or salt in front of them. No matter how powerful the fairy must stop to count each grain."
"Well alrighty," Dean told her. "That's wow, a lot to absorb. Um thank you." And with that both boys started to make to get up from the seats. Pandora hoped that the lady would get up so she didn't have to use magic in front of her because she would if she had to stay here much longer. She forgot how exhausting playing human could be. Unfortunately she was trapped there as the woman pretty much nicely forced the two brothers into staying until they finished their tea. Pandora slumped back into her set as she willed the boys to drink their tea quickly.
When they finally made it outside Pandora was thrilled.
"Oh God, is it on me? I feel like I got the crazy on me?" Dean complained as they walked down the road and away from the said crazy. Pandora trailed a few inches behind the two boys her heals clicking rhythmically with each step.
"No, but you did set in some glitter though," Sam told him.
Dean looked down and started rubbing it off. "It makes me want to start believing in UFO's again." He complained.
The boys weren't sure what to do next with the information that had and Pandora just shrugged as they turned to her for help. Just when they thought they were going to have to involve Bobby they looked across the street to see the watch maker having tons of cream loaded into his vehicle. So they now had a lead. Pandora could feel that this hunt was finally going to start getting interesting.
Sadly the feeling didn't last long as she once again found herself setting in the back of the Impala with the two brothers in the front seats as they watched the guy unload all of his cream and take it in to his store. Finally when the guy had unloaded all of his cream he got ready to leave again. The brother's decided to split up again. Dean was going to check out his store and Sam was to keep an eye on the suspect. Before either of them could make the decision for her Pandora told them she was going with Dean.
"I can get you in there much easier," was her reasoning. She just really didn't want to people watch anymore. Reluctantly Dean agreed. He also reasoned that Pandora wasn't any better at being Sam's conscious than Sam was that maybe it was best that the two soulless people weren't together.
After leaving the car with Sam, Dean and Pandora made their way around to the back of the store and when they got to the door Pandora grabbed on to Dean's arm before disappearing and then reappearing with them both inside the store.
"Whoa, warn a guy next time." Dean complained quietly. "Last time Cas zapped me somewhere I didn't poop for a week." He told her.
"I didn't need to know that." She told him her face scrunched up in disgust. Dean wasn't sure if it was from the bathroom knowledge or from hearing about Cas.
Pandora let Dean take the lead as they checked out the place and she followed silently behind him. They reached a door with noise coming from the other side and she watched as Dean pulled out a knife and proceeded to quietly open the door.
What they found on the other side seemed to shock Dean and made Pandora run into him as he stopped mid-step. All around the room on top of the tables were little people working on making watches. Thankfully they didn't seem to notice Pandora or Dean so they slowly backed up to the door and once shut Pandora got them out of the store.
Pandora had been around for a long time but she still couldn't have seen this coming. After calling Sam to let him know what they had seen inside his shop they started to make their way down the street to head to the bar that they always seemed to be at. Pandora was happy with the promise of alcohol. After being less than happy about the two trips with Pandora, Dean forced them into walking. It wasn't long into their journey that Dean noticed that they were being followed by someone that was obviously a fairy; since Dean had seen they guy earlier watching him but Sam hadn't.
So they let the guy follow them. He didn't seem to care that Pandora was with Dean; which Dean thought was a little foolish. Pandora might not have looked like much but Dean was sure she could take on someone if they threatened her. So far she never seemed to back away from a fight. The only person that had ever gotten the best of her was Lucifer and Dean was sure there was much more to the story then she had told them. So between the two of them he was pretty confident that they could take on one fairy. So they lead him down an abandoned alleyway where they would be no witnesses and waited for him to come around the corner. Unfortunately the fairy didn't show instead it was a different kind of little person that just so happened to come around the corner. In the end both Dean and Pandora ended up in lock up at the local police station.
Pandora could have easily gotten them out but Dean didn't want to raise suspicion. They still had a job to do in this town and they couldn't really do that while being wanted by the police. Reluctantly Pandora agreed and made herself comfortable on one of the two beds inside the cell. She silently hoped that Sam was having a very boring time.
Pandora had fallen asleep at some point during the boring silence of the cell and watching Dean sit thoughtfully on his own bed. She woke with a start when a crash was heard inside the cell. All hell had broken lose and Dean was getting thrown around the cell by the man they had seen earlier. He didn't even seem to notice her. Pandora was about to make sure that changed. Pandora finally grabbed the guy off Dean and the fairy took notice of her for the first time and seemed shocked.
"Hi, I don't like things that hurt my human friends. I don't usually resort to violence but you're an exception." Pandora told him with the sweetest smile Dean had ever seen on her before she punched the fairy so hard in the face that he was sent crashing back into the cell bars with a bang. The fairy recovered quicker than Pandora expected and threw his own punch at her and sent her back a few inches but she stayed on her feet. The fairy ignored her once again to focus on Dean but Pandora wasn't a quitter.
Dean and Pandora both took on the fairy. Dean knew how to fight and Pandora had force and magic but not any technique but the two of them were able to hold the fairy off so he couldn't take Dean and then suddenly when the fairy had Dean where he wanted him... the fairy disappeared.
"I hate fairies." Pandora told Dean as she reached out a hand to help the bloody-noised Winchester up off the cell floor. "I guess this means Sam saved the day."
Dean nodded in agreement. Pandora snapped her fingers making a purple handkerchief appear and handed it to Dean. He took it gratefully as he whipped at the blood under his nose. As he did this he stared at Pandora. The fairy had gotten a few good hits in on her and her face mirrored his. Pandora didn't seem to be over concerned about herself which he found odd since she always seemed so perfectly put together and as Dean watched he could see why. Right before his eyes he watched her face heal until the only evidence that she was ever hurt was the blood stains on her pale face.
Pandora and Dean received a lucky break the next morning when the little guy that Dean attacked who also happened to be a big shot district attorney stopped by to talk to them. Dean didn't have to say a word; for once he let Pandora do all of the talking. It wasn't long after he left in his dazed gooey marshmallow state that the charges were dropped.
When the brothers left she found herself back in the Impala as they traveled out of the town until they reach a deserted area where they parked. She followed them out of the vehicle as they sat on the hood and got beers out of a cooler. She figured this was how they celebrated.
Sam rejected a beer and Pandora conjured herself a glass of wine as she sat in between the two of them.
Dean raised his beer bottle in toast. "Here's to the tiniest D.A.; thanks for dropping the charges."
"Little big man," Sam commented. "How did you get him to drop the charges anyway?" He asked looking over at Dean.
Pandora smiled in between the brothers as Dean glanced down at her and Sam followed. "What can I say I can be very persuasive." She shrugged before giving them both a small laugh that they joined in for a moment.
She watched as the happy moment ended and the conversation came back to what it always lead to; Sam's soul. A Leprechaun was what had been taking all the first born sons in town. Sam told him that the watchmaker was losing his hands to Parker-sons and made a deal with them not knowing exactly what he would end up losing. To stop the Leprechaun Sam spilled rock salt and while the fairy was busy counting Sam found the book that the watchmaker had used to bring them here and sent them back with it.
The Leprechaun had tried to get Sam to make a deal with him to get his soul back but Sam told him no. Pandora stayed quiet through this conversation. Like she had told them days before souls weren't really her thing. Dean had seemed worried that Sam was going to change his mind about wanting his soul back. Pandora didn't believe for a second when Sam disagreed saying he was still wanting to get his soul back. Sam wasn't stupid he was starting to see that maybe having a soul wasn't all it was cracked up to be.
"Well boys, I'm out of here." She told as they got the cooler packed back up and was getting ready to leave.
"You can always come with us. You got quite a way with... people and quite a punch." Dean offered her with a smile. Pandora returned it but shook her head no.
"Nah, but I'm sure I'll see you two soon. Besides I got to find a nice place on my book shelf for this." She held up the fairy book which the boys had given her for safe keeping. "Catch you later guys; call me if you need me." She told them before giving them a wink and disappearing.
