The story takes place right after the season 10 finale, after Dean killed Death, the Mark of Cain was removed and Darkness was released into the world. I mentioned before, new characters will be added and thrown in the story and I will bring back several former characters from the show in the upcoming future.
Supernatural Chapter 10 Waiting
They all drove back to the bunker with Ava following them in her van. Soon they were all in the bunker where they introduced Ava to the rest of the group, the grandmother and granddaughter psychics whom they just met and Castiel the angel. Then they explained as much as they chose to about Gwen's premonition of her death, about Darkness and how both Gwen and Madame Bess foresaw it before it happened, about the Mark of Cain although they didn't reveal too much information especially not about Death or Hannah planning to release Lucifer and the archangel Michael from Lucifer's cage as they felt that was a little too much for any of their guests to handle. Ava was stunned from all that she had seen and heard.
The sky going dark, that crowd going crazy, these two strangers who are hunters, now being inside this strange bunker that is the size of a museum where she meets these psychic ladies, learning one of them saw her getting shot and dying and what this Darkness actually is. She wasn't too phased about meeting the two psychics as she has dealt with them in past as a hunter and although she's encountered demons before she is taken aback by meeting real live angel like Castiel. She has also dealt with many outrageous things as a hunter that no one would believe, but this Darkness is too much that she for the first time wished this was all just a crazy dream she will awake from soon.
"So I actually died in your vision?" she asked Gwen still freaked out by all of this.
"Yes, I saw all of it, it's a good thing they arrived in time to save you" said Gwen looking at Sam and Dean.
"But, I still can't help wonder why that crowd went so crazy all of the sudden and that man actually pulled out a gun and tried to shoot someone. I mean does this Darkness have anything do with what happened back there?" Ava asked.
"Could be, I also felt that this Darkness is capable of enormous chaos that could affect the world in ways it was never had been affected. This Darkness is a new and dangerous entity indeed" said Madame Bess.
"All that matters is we got you out of the mob before you ended up a real goner" said Dean. "
Yeah, thanks I owe you guys a lot." She said.
"Hey, it's the least we could do since we caused all of this" said Dean.
"There is no way you two could have predicted all of this young man. I don't believe anyone could have predicted it and from what you both told me you both felt you were doing what you felt was necessary for the greater good" said Madame Bess.
"My grandmother is right. You two couldn't have known. This is something way beyond what anyone could comprehend. I'm still having trouble believing all of this" Gwen admitted.
"I got to agree with those two, as a hunter, I understand your reasons. I'm not sure I wouldn't do what I thought was necessary if I thought it would save mankind and worry about the consequences later. Besides, this is still too much for me to process right now" Ava chimed in.
They all continued to discuss the matter then later, they all went to a room where there was a television to see if anything on TV mentions the aftermath of this recent event. They watch the news which talked about the recent miracle event of daylight vanishing and becoming dark, black smoke which caused some destruction and some injuries among civilians. Sam continued to flip channels where the news reported the same thing, how this Darkness in the sky has affected the whole world all over in other countries and even continents. Other reports included the chaos in some of the streets were people are looting and stealing from stores and shops, people are committing assaults over minor instances and even killing each other.
Panic is occurring among the cities and police are blocking off some roads for safety reasons. They all listened in silence as they all fully became aware of how much more dangerous and chaotic the world has really become within hours. This was way too big for any of them to fathom. After a brief silence, they all left the room and both Sam and returned to library area and Dean offered their guests something to eat and drink as they continued to talk the matters over but not coming up with any conclusions. Castiel left the room and soon the others just stood around in silence. Ava was near Dean and soon they engaged in conversation.
"So how exactly do you know about us again?" he asked just wanting to get his mind of their troubles.
"Well, I said I come from a family of hunters, both my grandfathers were hunters as well as my father and my uncles. My grandfather Ed Renshaw knew your grandfather Samuel Campbell from way back. He always said he had great respect for him as a hunter although they weren't necessary friends. Your grandfather apparently didn't get along too well with other hunters" Ava explained.
"Yeah, that was our granddad alright" said Dean, although he didn't want to discuss Samuel too much as it brought back bad memories.
"So you were raised a hunter too? he asked her trying to change the subject.
"Actually I wasn't, when my parents got married, my father quit the hunting life and got a regular job. They didn't even want me to be a hunter" said Ava.
"Then how did you end up in this life?" asked Dean.
"Well, even though my parents wanted to raise me normal, they knew the world was filled with danger of the supernatural and evil so they didn't want me to be helpless, plus they also feared the past would come back to haunt them someday so they made sure I was prepared. My folks taught me all about the monsters and how they exist, made sure I learned how use a firearm, a knife, learned karate, judo and all that. I even had a devil's trap in my bedroom ceiling for protection and had to learn how to pour salt on my window sill every night" she explained.
Dean just listened in silence impressed on all that he heard and felt a kind of comfort in talking to someone who could sort of relate to him for change.
"And yet they didn't want you to be hunter?" he asked.
"No, they wanted me to go to college and get a regular job which I did at the museum. But, I always felt I could do more and be more useful doing something more daring more risky like fighting monsters. Maybe it was all those stories my granddads and uncles told me growing up but one day I just quit me job and left. I sought out an old friend of my father's named Bev to take me under her wing, as she was one the best female hunters he knew. My folks hated it but were relieved that Bev would look after me and she did. She taught me everything she knew about hunting that is until she died last year, cancer" she explained.
"Oh, I'm sorry" said Dean as this made him think about Bobby, who was many ways a mentor to him and Sam.
"That's okay" she said.
"What about you, were you raised a hunter or did you just decide on your own to carry on the tradition?" she asked.
"Oh, I was definitely raised in it, after my mom was killed by a demon, my father brought both me and Sam into the life, traveling around killing monsters" he said.
"Why that sounds like a very interesting life" Ava said. "
You have no idea" said Dean.
Ava decided not to push it any further. She could tell from the look in face, this was a very touchy subject he wasn't comfortable with opening up about and she got that. She could also tell by the way he look that there was some pain and hard ache buried underneath the touch exterior. She had encountered the types before, they seemed all tough and put together on the outside to hide all the pain, burdens and so much baggage that had on the inside and chooses to bury these problems rather than deal with them because they were afraid to show their vulnerability. For a moment she felt drawn to him in a way but didn't understand why. Maybe it was because a hunter like herself and both came from family of hunters.
As for Dean, this was their first real conversation just the two of them and for the first time he really acknowledge just how attractive she is with her flame-red hair( he always found those red-heads hot and sexy), beautiful blue eyes glaring right at him, the face of a girl next door but strong and tough and a lovely smile that can make you forget all your troubles. Plus she was a hunter too, he has always been drawn to those hot and touch chicks who hold their own as he always found that sexy. Maybe under normal circumstances, they would have engage in a casual fling but right know that is the last thing on his mind which surprised him.
"So what do we do now, I mean we all can't just wait around here forever?" she asked.
"I wish I had the answer, but sorry I don't. I know you probably got someplace to go and once me and Sam thinks it's safe, then you could go. You know this is all our faults and I truly sorry about all of this" he just said not knowing what else he could say.
"Hey, stop beating yourself up about, as I said before, there was no way you could have known. From what I been taught, there is no point feeling sorry for yourself over what you should or shouldn't have known but move on and try to do the best you can to overcome it" she told him sympathetically.
Ava then smiled and then gently put her hand on his shoulder for some reason she didn't understand and suddenly Dean felt so much more relax than he ever did.
