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.
Chapter 89 A Safe Place and A Little History
The chimera continued roaring at Dean as he held up the large tree branch prepared to protect himself and Ava if he had to and he also remembered that he also had not only a pocket knife in his back pocket, but also a lighter which he often carries despite the fact he doesn't smoke just in case it can be useful in his side pocket. With that, Dean quickly reached into his pocket and pulled out his lighter and using it, he lit the upper part of the branch with the dead looking leaves on fire. Soon, the fire spread on the top of the branch and as it was now cackling. Then just as the chimera lept towards Dean, he waved the fire lit branch at the three-headed creature waving it about towards it as the chimera backed away from Dean while still roaring.
"Okay, you three-headed freak, you want some of this" Dean cried out to them as he kept waving branch burning with fire at the creature.
As Dean started to walk towards them with the burning branch, the chimera started backing up as it kept roaring at him.
"That's right back up you son-of-bitches!" cried out Dean fiercely.
When the chimera kept backing away, Dean just stared at them with a real fiercely warrior like look in his eyes as he was ready to battle with them.
"Okay freaks, get lit!" he shouted a phrase he heard in a movie and it that he dropped the burning branch on the ground.
Then the ground was set on fire and the fire started to spread and got bigger as it kept burning right in front of the chimera. The beast started to back a way some more as it was clearly afraid of the fire. With that Dean quickly turned and ran to where Ava was lying on the ground still unconscious. He didn't bother to attempt to revive her but just quickly scooped her up in his arms and quickly started running fast further into the forest carrying her. He kept running as fast as he could although his arms were getting sore from carrying Ava a she lay limp in his arms her arms swaying. He wondered if the fire will spread throughout the forest, but he doesn't want to focus on that as his only mission is to get far away from that chimera creature.
Dean stops a bit having to take a breath as his arms are getting sore from carrying Ava and he quickly looks back but there is nothing to see but the fire spreading. Suddenly to his surprise, he felt a drop of water fall on him from the sky which he would typically feel when it's about to rain. Soon there are more drops coming down quicker and quicker and before long it starts to rain. Dean just looks up into the sky amazed.
"Oh, you got to be freaking kidding me, what this place has its own water or rain alarm or what!" he cried out to himself.
The rain continued drizzling down on both him and Ava. He was half expecting the rain to wake her up but she still laid limp in his arms as she probably hit her head pretty hard and will be out for several more minutes or so. His arms were getting to tired of cradle carrying her so with one arm he set he legs down and was holding her up.
"Come on darling lets get outta the rain" he said as he flung her over his shoulders in a fireman's carry and within seconds, he carried her now further into the woods no longer running as the rain kept drizzling down on them both.
Ten minutes later, they were both now sitting under a large very eerie looking dark tree with dark leaves that looked dead. Ava was now awake nursing a little bump on the back of her head with some minor bruising or cuts near her right side of her forehead. They had been sitting under the tree for several minutes now and she had woken up just as Dean had found the tree and set her down under it for cover and so he can get some rest. The rain had stopped now and both of them were soaked and wet. They just sat down against the tree now quite close together as Ava started to rub her head again.
"So how's your head now?" asked Dean as he turned to towards her.
Ava felt the back of her head.
"Well, it's still a bit sore back there, felt like I got hit by a ton of bricks" she said.
Dean gave a little laugh. "Well, you'll be fine I can tell you, the many times I got hit in head and it felt like a ton of bricks" he told her.
Ava stopped feeling her head and placed her hand down and gave a little sigh.
"I'm jut relieved we got away from that chimera" she told him.
"Yeah me too, for while I thought we were going to be a snack for that three-headed freak" Dean said.
"Gosh, I'm so damn wet though wish I could just get out of these wet clothes" said Ava as she wrapped her arms around her body as if she was cold.
"Hey, feel free, don't let me stop you" Dean said with a smirk.
"Oh, shut up" replied Ava smirking back as she gave him a light pop around the shoulder.
"Anyway, I guess we just have to sit here until our clothes dry whatever how long that takes" said Ava.
"Hey, well I could use the rest anyway, kind of pooped from all that running and carrying you around trying to dodge our little friend back there" replied Dean.
"I'm so damn bored though" replied Ava a bit annoyed.
"Well what do you suggest we do, a sing-along?" replied Dean in his typical sarcastic manner.
"Hey, I know what we can do we can talk" said Ava.
"Talk about what darling, the weather, how our day is?" Dean said again being sarcastic.
"No silly, I know what about ourselves, I mean we talk a lot about ourselves back in that alternate world on little things, our birthdays, zodiac sign, our favorite music, movies, actors, actresses, the kind of beer or liquor we liked but never talked a lot about our past" she said.
"Our past, well what's there to talk about we know we both come from a family of hunters and all" said Dean.
"Come on Dean that's not all" said Ava.
"Okay, what do you want to know?" asked Dean although he was beginning to get a bit uncomfortable to where this is headed.
"I mean, I know your father was John Winchester a known hunter but how did he get into hunting and why did he raise you and Sam into it?" she asked.
Now this really was feeling awkward for Dean as this was getting into serious territory since Dean didn't confide in hardly anybody about these things. He could just avoid this question and shut her down altogether, but this is Ava, she's a hunter too and after everything they've been through together he's actually comfortable enough to confide in her.
"Hey if you really don't want to talk about it" Ava replied but Dean interrupted her.
"No, it's not that, I just don't hardly ever talk about this with anyone accept Sam but if you really want to know" he said.
"I do" replied Ava.
"Okay" said Dean although he was still taken aback how he was willing to reveal information about his family past.
Next thing Dean knew, he told Ava about everything about how his father became a hunter after their mother's death and how their mother died, about the demon Azazel, how their dad raised him and Sam to be hunters and their traveling around the world hoping to kill Azazel out of revenge and how he made the ultimate sacrifice to save Dean from death. Dean also told her about Sam's leaving to go off to college, about Sam's girlfriend's death due to Azazel, Sam being one of the demon's "special children" due to him giving Sam demon's blood as a baby before their mother interrupted him and for a while having psychic abilities. Him selling his own soul to a crossroad demon to bring Sam back from the dead after he was killed by Jake another "special child" and only giving one year instead of the usual ten years when he was sent to hell and how he was brought back by Castiel the angel which is how they met.
He explained about the 66 seals and how the final seal released Lucifer from his cage and that's how he walked the earth the first time starting the apocalypse and about Michael the archangel and Lucifer's plan to fight to the death using both him and Sam as their vessels. He told the time both him and Sam were killed by those hunters Walt and Roy and being sent to heaven where they learned that had died several times in the past and then being brought back to life on earth again only the final time they remembered their experience in heaven.
"Walt and Roy, I know those two, me and Bev worked a case with them in the past, real dickheads those two, we never wanted to work with them again and I heard stories from other hunters who didn't have such great experiences working them either" Ava replied as she couldn't help interrupt Dean's story upon hearing their names.
"I'm not surprised, for me meeting them once was enough after they blasted both me and Sam away that is, I vowed if I came back I would kill those two sons of a bitches, but never got that opportunity, shame though, I really wanted to pay those two back" said Dean.
"Well, you don't have to worry about them, I think they got their karma" said Ava.
"What do you mean?" asked Dean.
"Some years ago, I heard from a hunter friend of Bev's, Joe Nash that Walt and Roy are both now in jail after making a huge error on a case and ended up killing some people they thought were ghouls. The cops actually caught them red-handed and they couldn't explain away their reasons at least nothing believable. Anyway, the last I heard about them was that they were in locked up won't be getting out anytime soon, I do feel bad about the folks they stupidly killed but they're paying for it I guess that could be a sort of karma for what they did to you and Sam" Ava finished.
"That makes me feel a bit better but not enough, I would have probably preferred someone blasted those two away like they did to me and Sam, but I guess that will do, just sorry some poor bastards had to pay the price for it though" replied Dean.
"Anyway, let's get back to your life story" said Ava.
"Okay" said Dean and he continued on his story.
He then told her about sending Lucifer back to his cage by Sam saying yes to Lucifer possessing him and had enough control to throw himself into Lucifer's cage when they opened it by using the rings of the four horsemen and their half-brother Adam being thrown down with him who was possessed by Michael. Speaking of Adam, Dean explained more about their little half-brother and all what happened to him and getting him back after being trapped in Lucifer's cage all these years with Michael using him as a meatsuit. Then about his and Castiel's time in purgatory and how they encountered Crowley the King of Hell and his origins and about Rowena his mother. He also told her about the other people in their lives like Bobby who was like a father to her, Chuck the prophet who wrote books about them and Kevin a teenager who became a prophet next about Charlie, the little sister he never had who are all dead.
Dean mentioned the trials which they tried to perform to shut all of hell's gates which would ban all the demons from earth forever but how he stopped Sam from completing his final task in order to save him and how angels being thrown out of heaven and Ava had remembered the news story of the meteorites falling from the sky or so she thought at the time. He also filled her in more about Cain, who became a Knight of Hell and how both he and Sam are his descendants. About how all those close to them died with Charlie being killed helping Sam with the Book of Damned to remove the Mark of Cain from him which was what released the Darkness in the first place of course. Ava just listened to Dean with awe as he gave all the details of his every interesting and complicated life like listening to a ghost story campfire. After he finished she was just silent for a few seconds before she spoke up.
"Wow I have to say of all the crazy stories I've heard by other hunters yours is the by far the craziest, sounds like something horror version of a soap opera almost" she said still trying to process all of what she heard.
"Well that's me and Sam to a tea, our life is feels like a part soap opera part scary movie" Dean said.
"I mean really are there really a series of books written about you and Sam?" she asked still trying to process that info.
Dean just nodded his head. "Yeah, our old buddy Chuck the prophet made a name of himself or I say Carver Edlund by writing a whole series about our life story, of course the books are no longer published and there was even some unpublished stories released online on Amazon by a crazy lovestruck groupie we encountered a few times named Becky Rosen who was obsessed with Sam. We even ran into her again when we took our first case since returning from that alternate world" he explained.
"Wow" said Ava still in awe from all of what she had just heard. "There doesn't seem to be anything you haven't experienced" she finished.
"Well, I never been to the underworld until now" he said.
"Gosh, I don't think the other hunters will believe some of this" said Ava.
"Hey, sometimes I don't believe some of the things we've experienced, and I've been hunting all my life" said Dean.
Ava paused for a moment as she still was taking the time to digest all of what she was told before she could speak again, Dean spoke up first.
"Okay, you heard all of my life story now it's your turn to tell me more about yours" he said.
"Mine?" asked Ava.
"Yes, I mean you told me you came from families of hunters on both sides that you were raised to know about the supernatural and all the ways of a hunter even though your parents didn't want you to become a hunter and that your grandfather even knew my grandfather, but you never told me much more than that" said Dean.
"Well, my family life is like the Cleavers compared to yours" said Ava.
"Don't matter, I told you my story now tell me yours" he said.
"Okay, well, I did say my dad was raised a hunter just like you were he was the youngest in his family and he, my granddad and my two uncles used to travel country hunting monsters' said Ava.
"What about your grandma where was she through all of this?" asked Dean.
"Well, she died when my dad was a very small boy she was killed by an evil spirit which and that's how my granddad got into hunting and trained my dad and uncles into it as well, just like your dad did with you and Sam after your mom died, that's one of the things that we have that's is similar" said Ava.
"You also said your granddad knew my old granddad Samuel Campbell but how did they meet?" asked Dean.
"Well, my granddad Ed Renshaw, along with my uncles and my dad ran into Samuel when they were both working a case on ghouls and they decided to work together, that's the first time they met. They winded up working other cases together to when they found out they were each working the same case. Like I said before, my granddad admired your granddad as a hunter but they never became friends because Samuel from what I was told was quite distant and didn't seem to like to be friendly with other hunters nor trust them like he was keeping them at bay or something where as my granddad like to become friends with fellow hunters" said Ava.
"Yeah, that's our grandpa Samuel alright he didn't trust other hunters so why did he work with your grandfather?" Dean wondered. "
From what I gather, my grandfather was one the few hunters he really respected seeing good he was so he was willing to work with him and my dad and uncles for the greater good but that was it just a working relationship" Ava said.
Then Ava went on with her story. "Anyway, my dad's family also knew of your father John Winchester" she replied.
Dean's eyes lit up to that information Ava never mentioned before. "You mean they met my dad?" he asked.
"No, but they heard of him, they met other hunters who had known both your dad and granddad. They heard from these hunters how your dad married Samuel Campbell's daughter and became a hunter himself after she died although they never mentioned how" said Ava.
"Wow, didn't know how popular my dad and granddad were among the hunters community" replied Dean a bit sarcastically.
"Yeah, your granddad is quite known among some hunters as was your dad whether they worked with both of them or heard of them" she replied.
Dean didn't feel like talking more about his father or grandfather Samuel as it brought back some memories that he didn't want to think about, so he quickly tried to change the topic.
"Hey, what about your mom's side of the family, you said they hunted too?" he asked her.
"My mom's family hunting history went back a few generations I not sure how much but my mom was never a hunter since in her family hunting was man's job. My granddad used to hunt with his brother, my great-uncle until his death then he hunted alone or sometimes with a couple of cousins while my grandmom ran the store they owned. From what my mom told me, he often wasn't home but off traveling around the globe sometimes missing a birthday or a holiday but he would come home with gifts and a card to make up for all that. My mom was the oldest so she helped my grandmom with the store and at home taking care of the chores and looking after my uncle and aunt. When my uncle was old enough he started hunting with him too" she finished.
"That's sounds like an interesting life bit tamed compared to my family history, but still I have to wonder how did your parents meet if you don't mind I ask?" Dean replied.
"Oh, well anyway my other granddad was also very friendly with other hunters that he met making friends with plenty of them. He met my dad's family a couple times when they worked cases together so he decided to invite them back home for Thanksgiving so they could have a real home-cooked Thanksgiving dinner rather eating at some motel and they winded up spending the entire weekend in town. My parents were smitten with each other upon sight and spent as much time together the whole time they stayed. The families enjoyed their time they so much that my granddad invited them back there for Christmas dinner and my dad's family took him up on it. In fact, they returned that Christmas for nice dinner and even bought gifts. Once again my parents spent time together and kissed under the mistletoe from what they told me" Ava explained.
"Wow, sounds like the Brady Bunch among hunters" said Dean.
"You could say that" replied Ava. Then she continued with her story again. "Anyway, my parents liked each other so much that my dad promised to drop by and visit again which he did the next month but this time he came alone stayed at the motel so they could spend a week together before his family called him back to help them with a case. And that's how they started dating in their own way. He could drop by every month and stay at a motel since my granddad wasn't too comfortable him staying overnight under his roof with my mom being a bit old-fashioned or protective and my dad would spend a week, sometimes longer in town taking my mom out to wherever, the diner, coffee, a movie and dinner afterwards, the park, they just hung out together unless he got an early call to help his family with a case. This went on for months and they fell in love" Ava finished.
"Wow, a good old hunter love story" replied Dean.
Ava just went on ignoring his remark. "Well, as I was told, my granddad wasn't too thrilled with my mom getting involved with my dad because he was a hunter despite him being one himself especially since my dad didn't have a job or a real home unlike him. So, after many months of their courtship, you could say, my dad who wanted to prove that he was devoted to my mom and could provide for her one day, decided to settle down in my mom's hometown, get a regular job which was at the gas station, lodged with a elderly couple who took in boarders until he found a place of his own and kept seeing my mom regularly" she said.
"Your dad just gave up hunting and left his family for your mom just like that?" asked Dean.
"It wasn't just like that, he told me he had fallen for my mom the minute he saw her which is why he started popping up at her hometown to see her when he wasn't hunting with my granddad and uncles. He also told me by this time he had started to become tired of not having a life outside of hunting and not being able to explore new things. In fact, he said being with my mom made him realize how much he was missing meeting the right woman and fallen in love and possibly wanting to have a family of his own. He said my granddad kind of understood because of his feelings to my late grandmother even though he wasn't too happy about him giving up hunting but he never tried to force neither my dad or uncles to hunt if they didn't want to, giving them a choice to leave whenever they wanted" Ava said.
"Well, sounds like an understanding guy" said Dean who kind of sighed thinking about his own father who had made him and Sam feel like there was nothing out of their lives except hunting and remembered the time he told Sam if he left the family for college not to come back although he knows now his father regretted that decision an he and Sam made some peace before he died.
"He was, of course, my dad didn't give up hunting totally, he told me on his days off if his family contacted him needing extra help on a case, he would take off and help them out and other times he missed work but he offered to work an extra day to make up for it" Ava said.
"So, your parents got hitched and the rest is history" Dean replied.
"Yes, but it wasn't so simple, he waited to buy a house first, it was a very small house and he repaired it himself painting and fixing it up for him and my mom, he even left the gas station when he got a better job with better pay then he and my mom got hitched and settled in" she said.
"A real cozy family" Dean added.
"After they married, my dad didn't hunt ever again and then they moved to Montrose, Colorado when I was a little girl for an even better job and moved into a better house and that was that" she finished.
Dean just listened quite intrigued listening to Ava's family history.
"Well, your right, you seemed to have had the apple pie American family compared to mine" was all Dean could say.
"I don't know you seemed to have turned out quite fine despite the circumstances" Ava replied.
"I don't know much about that, I do have a lot of baggage Ava" said Dean.
"We all have some baggage in our lives, maybe some more than others but it's baggage just the same" she said.
"True, lets just say my baggage is much bigger than yours" Dean replied.
"Fair enough" said Ava.
"Anyway, I told you my family history let's talk about something else like our love life history for example" said Ava who wanted to change subject.
Dean just had an awkward look on his face. "Our love life history?" he replied.
"Yeah, we already talked about our families now let's talk about our love lives, I mean know you been around Dean and every thing but but was there anyone ever special in your life once upon a time?" she asked.
"You want to know this?" he asked feeling a bit uncomfortable about this topic.
"Yes, I'm curious and I don't have problem telling you about my love life" she said.
"Well" Dean replied still a bit hesitant.
"Oh, of course if you have a problem telling me this" replied Ava.
"No, it's not that, I mean we said we will tell each other as much about ourselves" said Dean.
"So what's the problem?" asked Ava.
"There is no problem okay what do you want to know?" asked Dean.
"Like I said before, I'm aware you played the field a lot in the past" she said.
"How do know that, I never told you that" said Dean.
"Come on Dean, I can tell you're a player, I met guys like you before, don't want a commitment so they just play the fields, so I wonder was there any girl who met something to you ever, did you ever have a first love what about your first time?" she asked curiously.
Dean just sighed as he looked even more awkward and uncomfortable.
"Hey remember you agreed" Ava reminded. "
Okay," Dean said awkwardly. "Well, my very first time was when I was seventeen, and I remember it was spring, and me my dad and Sam were in Arizona at the time, but we weren't working a case just taking a break and there was this waitress at a diner we would occasionally go to, her name is Chelsea, Chelsea Brown, she was hot blonde a little older than me" he said.
"How much older?" asked Ava.
"Maybe 20 or 21 you could say" said Dean.
"Really?" asked Ava looking kind of doubtful.
"Yeah really" replied Dean.
"And what you too just hooked up?" asked Ava.
"Not right away, what happened was the second day we were in town, I showed up alone at the diner hoping to chat her up when this punk came in with his buddy and started hassling her not taking no for answer and I stepped in and sort of defended her honor got a shiner and busted lip in the process" Dean explained.
"Oh, that's terrible" said Ava.
"Hey, you should have seen what those dudes looked like" Dean replied. Then he went on with his story. "So, the next thing I knew, she thanked me and told me when her shift was over. I came back later that night and she had a car and we went back to her place since she had her own apartment. She offered me beer, we talked a lot she told me about her dream of heading to Los Angeles and becoming a fashion model one day, I told her about wanting to be a fireman or a mechanic. We seemed to talk for about forever and she showed me some of her CDs, played some music and soon we started making out and one thing led to another and you know the rest" said Dean.
"Wow, sounds kind of romantic, I hope you used protection" Ava replied.
"It was nice and yeah I did, I started carrying condoms when I was sixteen" Dean said.
"What happened afterwards did you keep seeing her?" asked Ava.
"Yeah, we hung out usually at her place, of course that lasted for about a little over a week when my dad headed us out of town for another case and we had to say goodbye. I never forgot her and I wonder to this day if she ever followed her dream and head out to L.A. to become a model" Dean said.
"That's sound kind sweet, but what about others, I mean were there other women that you had anyone special?" asked Ava.
Dean sighed again and he told her about some of the few special girlfriends he had like Robin the waitress he met when he stayed briefly at the boy's farm run by his mentor Sonny. Cassie Robinson, the journalist he met when she was a college student who was the first girl he ever confided in about his life as hunter and who he saw again when she contacted him about a case involving her dead father.
Then there was Anna, fallen angel turned human who became an angel again before she went rouge and tried to kill Sam then their parents when she traveled back in time. Then of course Lisa, his brief fling and how when he saw her again he thought her son Ben was also his and about him living with them for a year when Sam was in hell and how he was forced to leave them behind and erased their memories of him which is something he never talks about not even with Sam, as the pain of thinking of them never truly went away Ava could see this as she glared at him while he talked about them.
"Wow, I mean I just can't picture you as a family man" she said.
"Why, what's so shocking about that?" Dean asked.
"It's just didn't seem to be you, I saw you as this…"
"Yeah, I know some lothario" Dean finished her sentence.
"No, I didn't say that" replied Ava.
"Yes, you did, you think I'm this smooth-talking cad, well believe or not darling, I have been in a relationship before, yes me Dean the Casanova" Dean told her.
"I wouldn't call you a Casanova" she replied sarcastically.
"Oh no, I'm so hurt?" Dean said in a sarcastic tone, placing his hand to his chest.
"Anyway, this Lisa and her kid Ben seemed to have meant a lot to you" said Ava.
Dean's sarcastic toned changed to a more serious look.
"Yeah, you can say that" he told her.
"I mean, you cared so much about them you were willing to lose them, their memories of you just to save them but you haven't lost your memories with them, do you still miss them?" she asked him.
Dean just looked real awkward and sad. "Well, what does that matter now?" he asked.
"It matters, I think that's might be part of the reason you don't let too many people get close you, you're afraid you'll lose them except for Sam since he's the only family you got" she told him.
Dean just pulled away a bit still looking a bit sad and uncomfortable to where this going.
"Hey, what about you know it's your turn to tell me your love life remember" he said as he didn't want to talk about Lisa and Ben anymore.
Ava could sense that Lisa and Ben were a touchy subject for him so she didn't push it further.
"Okay, okay" she said.
"So now tell me who was your first time?" he asked her.
"Okay, his name is Bryan Gullard, he was my highs school boyfriend and my first love. We did it in the back of his dad's camper one summer when we were seventeen" she said.
"Oh, sounds romantic" said Dean mimicking her words.
"Oh, shut up" she replied laughing a bit.
"So, what happened to this first love, anyway?" Dean asked.
"Well, we drifted apart when we went to different colleges in different cities not too far away from each other but having a long-distance relationship took its toil you can say" she said.
"Were there were others?" he asked.
"Yes, of course, I mean there was Nico Stahlin my college boyfriend" she said.
"Nico?" Dean asked with "what kind of name is that?" expression.
"Yeah, Nico short for Nicholas. Anyway, he was the outdoor type, rock-climbing, ski-diving, jet-skiing, kayaking type" she said.
"Really now?" said Dean with a grin.
Ava just ignored him.
"Anyway, we wanted different things after graduating and so we broke up of course. There were a couple of others and there was Alec the jerk who I broke up with just before I quit my job at the museum when I decided to become a hunter" she said.
"Why a jerk?" asked Dean.
"Because, the reason we broke up was that he cheated on me with some bimbo at his job" she said.
"You're right any dude who cheats on you is a major jerk, a real douchebag" said Dean.
Ava just smiled at is compliment. "That's sweet" she said.
"Hey that's me sweet indeed" Dean replied sarcastically. "Anyway, who was the last serious guy you had?" he asked her.
"Oh, Jack Dumphrey, a hunter from Texas. He was real cool, good-looking, and very badass hunter" she said.
"Oh really now?" Dean asked almost looking a bit jealous.
Ava noticed but she just went on.
"Yes, he was real charmer, but he wasn't very good at expressing his emotions, you know the type" Ava replied and Dean just gave a funny facial expression. "He was real fun to be with when we ran into each other and we even worked some cases together me, him and Bev and then the two of us just hung out a roadhouse or bar afterwards as Bev knew we wanted to be alone together and always gave us our space. But the only problem he didn't like to get too close particularly with women either, I felt I would be different since we bonded so much and both were hunters and besides he was great lover" she went on.
Dean just slightly coughed in discomfort. "So, what happened?" he asked her.
"When he sensed I wanted more out of our somewhat relationship than he was willing to give, he pulled away, told me I shouldn't expect anything more than what was going on between us. I was sad of course but I understood" she said.
"So, you never saw him again? Dean asked.
"Unfortunately, no the last I heard about him, a hunter who worked a case with him told me that they were dealing with wendigos and saving a group of college kids camping there, Jack having to be the hero sacrificed his life to save them all" she said with a bit a sad look on her face.
Dean just remorseful look on his face. "Oh, I'm sorry" he said.
"Thanks, we at least he died doing what he did best" Ava said.
Dean just bowed his head down as it made him think about his own life, thinking that if he ever died he too would like to go out in a blaze of glory doing what he did best which was hunting which is the only life he knows. Ava paused for a moment than turned to Dean.
"Dean, if you ever thought about a life other than hunting what would be now?" she asked him.
Dean thought for a moment. "Well, I thought about being a mechanic like my dad was before he became a hunter. Or maybe I can do something more heroic like a paramedic, a firefighter my childhood dream, maybe even a cop. I used watch those old cop shows as kid stopping crime, fighting the bad guys" he said.
He then glared back at Ava. "How about you?" he asked her.
"I probably be back at my job at the museum, or maybe I become an archaeologist and travel around the globe and of course I probably settle down sometime and raise a family" she told him.
"Oh" Dean replied.
"Haven't you ever thought about settling down having a family of your own especially after your life with Lisa?" she asked him.
"This hunting life doesn't make room for a family of my own besides Sam and now Adam are my family and I consider Castiel part of our family" Dean said.
"Well, would if you weren't a hunter do you see yourself settling down getting married having kids?" Ava asked.
Dean thought for moment and didn't really know how to answer that because he never thought too much about the idea of having his own family, that American apple pie life if he wasn't a hunter and he already tried that with Lisa and Ben but it didn't work out and now he is convinced that life was never meant for him.
"I don't know, maybe, I just hope it would have been as happy as my parents were before everything changed" said Dean.
The two then just turned and glared at each other and were silent for a while. Then before either of them knew it, they drew closer together and started kissing each other on the lips like a romantic couple. The kissing, soon led to more passionate kissing and soon they were holding each other engaging in a heavy make out session. Dean quickly stopped for a moment.
"Ava, are you sure want to continue this?" he asked remembering the last time that made out and she pulled away.
Ava looked at him right in the eyes and said, "yes Dean I'm sure" she said.
Dean didn't question it any further and they continued making out touching and fondling each other and in no time they were removing their clothing and finally gave into their deep-rooted desires that they had for a long while right under the big eerie looking tree in this eerie place called the underworld.
