vrskaandrea: It was fun writing Ketch, Rowena, Gabriel and Charlie. What will happen to Michael and Dean? You are about to find out.
Lord Michael Demiurgos: I'm not an Adam fan but I am interested in what his story line will be in season 15.
"Coffee?"
Mary peers around with a mug in her hand. Bobby is at the table reading the newspaper. He looks at Mary and nods.
"Yes please."
While Mary goes back in the kitchen Bobby gets out a pen and scans through articles that appeared suspicious. Most used online but Bobby preferred doing it the old fashioned way. He still wasn't quite there with the modern technology. It took him a while to figure out how to unlock a phone.
Swipe the screen with his finger how was he suppose to know that.
The AU hunters had places to stay thanks to the Archangel Gabriel. Mary and Bobby stayed in Donna's cabin. Mary thought it would be a perfect place for them both to relax and clear their head.
Well that's what Mary was hoping but all Bobby does when he's here is search for another case. She understood AU Michael's monsters are a problem but Bobby needed to slow down and take a break for once.
Mary walks in with two mugs of coffee. She gives one to Bobby and sits down with her fingers wrapped round her own one.
"Found anything?" Mary asks.
"Nope." Bobby answers.
He turns the page over. Mary looks down at her mug. Her thoughts wander to her eldest son and her last visit. Dean is most of the time so happy to see her but the most recent visit he looked awkward. Mary didn't need to ask why. It was Bobby. These last few visits Mary felt tension between the two men. Bobby looked like he wanted to kill him. Although Dean is trying to not show it by putting on a smile and assuring her he is fine Mary is not stupid she knew this is hurting her son.
One visit Dean and Mary were in the kitchen while Bobby was outside on his phone. Dean was talking about a childhood memory. Mary felt a touch on her arm. She turned to face her son. But Michael was in control. He put his finger on his lips warning her to stay quiet.
Mary can still remember his words.
Flashback
"You can trust me Mary." He said to her. "I am taking care of your son. I'm not the bad guy here." Mary stood speechless by what she is hearing. Michael looks at the door. "But he does not feel safe around him."
Mary looks at the door. She frowns.
"Bobby?"
"All of them but him mainly. He is the leader after all."
"Bobby is on edge you saw his world you saw the destruction the other Michael caused."
Michael nods.
"I know but this is not good for Dean. If the other me saw there is trust issues he will use that to his advantage."
"Does Dean know we are having this talk?"
"No. I rarely keep him in the dark but this time I am. He wouldn't like me telling you this you know how he is."
Mary sighs.
"Yeah." She glances outside and sees Bobby is still on the phone. "Dean told me about the other world, he didn't say much about you. He told me you and Gabriel saved the hunters but he didn't say what happened between you and him in terms of..."
"Interacting?"
"Did you talk." Mary's eyes widen. "Did you push my son away and took full control."
"I was in control but I never shut Dean out. We helped each other in the other world." He smiles. "If it wasn't for him I would still be a mess."
Mary smiles at that. Michael knew the huntress didn't fully trust him. He can understand that. He did take her son away from her and then being trapped in the other world made things worse. The AU hunters Michael knew it was going to be hard to gain their trust, Sam is a challenge, Castiel is wary and Jack Michael hasn't been given a chance to even say one word to him.
If Michael could gain Mary's trust. That would be a good start. She was the one who believed Dean was going to come back from the other world. If she can be positive about that maybe she can be positive about Dean and Michael's alliance.
"You know if you ever want to talk." Michael smiles. "I would listen and answer your questions."
"You would?"
"I would answer honestly. You are the mother to my vessel and I should ensure a positive relationship is maintained between you and me. We are on the same side Mary and for this to work we all must work together. There is a war and Dean is in the middle of it. I can't reach out to Sam he does not agree with this. Dean does not have a brother by his side."
Mary gasps in surprise when Michael holds her hand. Dean has held her hand many times but this felt different like she can tell this is not her son but a complete different person.
"Dean needs his mom." Michael says. "The brother doesn't want to cooperate but at least let the man have his mom's support."
"I do support him."
"I mean..."
Michael's eyes glow. Mary flinched but remained calm.
"I'm trying to get used to it but it's not easy." She admits.
"Like I said if you want to talk I will talk we can talk like this you and me."
"But what about Dean? How I can I talk to you when I got to get through Dean?"
"Dean..." Michael smiles. "Me and Sam were laughing all night."
Mary frowns. She looks over her shoulder and notices Bobby is in the room.
Dean frowns at his mom's puzzled expression.
"Mom?"
Mary puts on a smile.
"That's wonderful baby. I'm so glad you and Sam have some good childhood memories."
Dean smiles. Bobby clears his throat.
"Right well we should be going. Gotta head north."
"You just got here." Dean says.
"Lives need saving Dean." Bobby says.
Dean knew that was an excuse. Bobby wanted to go he didn't want to be here.
"Yeah." Dean sighed.
"Bobby we could send another hunter." Mary says.
"We need you Mary." He grips her shoulder and sends Dean a look. "The world ain't gonna fix itself. We'll send another hunter to check on the boy."
"Dean."
"Its okay mom." Dean hides his disappointment. "You go."
Mary sighs heavily.
"If you need me call me."
Dean rolls his eyes.
"I'll be fine mom."
Mary smiles sadly.
If only I can believe that.
That conversation has bothered Mary since. Michael did look concerned and he truly wanted to connect with Mary. If there is trust between Mary and the Michael, both her and the archangel can meet her son's needs and maybe she can convince Sam that Michael wants to help.
Mary does not fully trust Michael but Dean seems to be happy with him. If Dean trusts him then as a mother Mary will support her son all the way.
With no cases Mary thought it is time she should have the conversation she's been wanting to have since that day. She puts her mug down and clears her throat.
"Bobby."
"Hmm."
"Do you trust Dean?"
Bobby froze at what he is reading and frowns at her.
"What do you mean?"
"Do you trust him?"
"Your son or the halo inside him?"
"I just want your honest opinion about it all."
Bobby sighs.
"I gotta stick to it for your sake but that doesn't mean I have to like it."
"My sake?" Bobby scratches his beard unsure if he should continue. Mary gestures with her hand. "Tell me I wanna know."
Bobby sighs.
"I don't trust him."
"Michael?"
"Both."
"Dean as well? Why? He's on our side?"
"Yeah and possessed by an archangel. You know angels Mary they manipulate you get into your head. Michael is the biggest dick out of them all."
"Yes but Bobby I think this Michael is different. He is not like the other one. Remember he wanted us to stay back when he was about to fight the other Michael he didn't want us to get hurt."
"Yeah and he broke a deal and took full control remember that. He could do it again."
"Dean insists he and Michael share control now."
"For now." Bobby huffed.
"Dean is still the same Dean we know. Michael did rescue the hunters in the other world. Gabriel provided you and your people places to stay. Gabriel is an archangel do you not trust him either?"
"He's not Michael. My Michael is a psycho and yours has been in Lucifer's cage and possibly become insane. Both are crazy bastards."
"If Michael is bad Dean would cast him out. I know Dean he wouldn't want an evil archangel possessing him."
"Like I said Michael might have got into Dean's head made him believe he is the good guy. They could have a motive we don't even know about. I don't blame Sam not trusting him."
"You don't like it when we visit Dean."
"No I don't. I don't think you should get attached to him."
"But his my son."
"So if Dean went dark side and destroyed the world would you still consider him as your son then?"
"That would be Michael not Dean."
"Michael is possessing Dean. We can't cast Michael out, he is too powerful so that brings us down to the last resort we will have to kill him."
"But Dean!"
"Nick survived." Bobby shrugged.
"What if Dean doesn't survive?"
Bobby again shrugs.
"At least the threat has been taken care off."
"My son dies."
"Mission comes first, lives do sometimes have to be sacrificed we do have to lose loved ones but that's the only way we will get what we want. That's how it worked in my world."
"Your world yeah but not this world. We put our loved ones first."
"That's how more people get killed. When we were in the church with my Michael and he threatened Sam, I did not want to put my weapon down I wanted to trap Michael and make the son of a bitch suffer. You made me put it down."
"He had Sam."
"I would have went ahead and did it anyway." Mary's eyes widen. "I only stopped because of you. I like you Mary I really do I enjoy spending time with you but your boys..." He shakes his head "...they both have a weakness. This weakness any Michael can take advantage of it and use it against us. My world will not be the only one that's in ruins." He leans forward. "You wanted me to be honest Mary well let me tell you this if your boys get in my way preventing me from achieving my goal I will kill them. If your Michael takes control and goes dark side I will find a way to take him down even if your son has to die. It will hurt Mary but you gotta stop thinking like a mother and think like a damm hunter for once otherwise you will get yourself killed."
"I ain't afraid of death." Mary stands up. "I been there and done it I been killed once." Mary remained calm but anger built inside her. "They are my sons Bobby and if you touched them I would never forgive you."
"But you would know deep down I did the right thing."
"Michael said you are hurting Dean."
"When did he say that?"
"When we went to see Dean. I spoke to Michael."
Bobby stands up.
"You never told me."
"How I was supposed to tell you? I had to see for myself first."
"That's why you asked for my opinion?"
Mary nods.
"Dean doesn't feel safe around you."
"So what?"
"We are supposed to trust each other we are a team."
"I'm keeping my guard up I'm seeing both sides of the situation unlike you Mary and I don't care what Dean feels as long as he doesn't get in my way."
"Michael wants to help he even offered to talk if I had any worries."
"Are you considering it?" Mary lowers her head. Bobby's eyes widen. "You're taking his side."
"I'm not I'm thinking of Dean."
"That's affecting your thoughts. Not having a clear mind will get you killed."
"You don't understand how it feels like you never had kids."
Bobby takes a step back. His face screws up. He swallows.
"I did have a kid." He says.
He suddenly grabs his jacket and leaves the room. Mary froze in her spot. She thought she was hearing things. A kid?
Bobby is angry at her for keeping secrets.
He kept a secret from her.
"B...Bobby."
Mary leaves the room. She opens the door and goes outside. Bobby's truck is gone. The huntress cursed. She gets out her phone and calls him. The call goes straight to voicemail.
"Damm it."
She shoves the phone in her pocket and sighs. She couldn't go after him Bobby is not her problem. He has been her friend in the other world but after hearing his confession Mary now did not trust him. She had to focus on her son's safety. Screw what the other world hunters believe. Mary may have fought alongside them but she is not following their beliefs.
Family comes first no matter what.
She thought back to her conversation with Michael.
Her and Michael had to meet her son's needs. They had to work together. Mary wanted to get to know more about the archangel possessing her son.
She goes back inside and begins packing. She will go to the bunker and she will take up Michael's offer.
She will support her son.
I'm sorry but I just don't like AU Bobby and I feel Mary should have a part in what her son is going through. She is his mom and I feel her and Michael should be working together building trust between them. Michael wants to form allies not enemies and that will benefit both him and Dean.
Next chapter coming soon.
