What Is and What Should Never Be
Dean drove around Joliet, Illinois when his phone started ringing.
"Yeah?" He answered knowing it was Sam calling from back at the hotel.
"There's a cop car outside" Sam said peeking out the hotel window.
"You think it's for us?" Dean asked worried since they were fugitives after breaking out of the prison they got themselves put in because of their last job.
"I don't know" Sam muttered.
"I don't see how. We ditched the plates, the credit cards. They're leaving. False alarm" Sam said sighing in relief as the cop car drove off.
"See, nothing to worry about" Dean said smugly.
"Yeah, being fugitives is a frigging dance party" Sam said sarcastically.
"Hey, man... chicks dig the danger vibe" Dean said grinning making Sam roll his eyes.
'Speaking of chicks; don't you think we should have told Kaylee there was a hunt? I mean the full moon happened when we were doing that job in prison so she won't be busy with Kane and Madison anymore" Sam asked making Dean sigh.
"No, look I called her the other day and she said that Madison wasn't handling being a werewolf very well so she was going to stay there for a few weeks to try and help her out. She doesn't need to know about this hunt" Dean explained still driving around.
"You got anything?" Sam asked changing the topic because he knew that Dean was right but he still hated leaving Kaylee out of these hunts.
"Are you kidding? How could I? You got me sifting through, like, 50 square miles" Dean asked sarcastically.
"That's where the victims disappeared" Sam replied simply, sitting back down at the table.
"I got diddlysquat. What about you?" Dean asked hopefully.
"Just one thing. I'm pretty sure of it now. We're hunting a jinn" Sam explained looking at his books in front of him.
"A frigging genie? You think these suckers can grant wishes?" Dean asked laughing.
"I don't know. They're powerful enough. But not exactly like Barbara Eden in harem pants. Jinn have been feeding off people for centuries. They're all over the Koran" Sam explained reading from the book.
"My God. Barbara Eden was hot, wasn't she? Way hotter than that Bewitched chick" Dean said fantasizing about Barbara Eden.
"Are you even listening to me?" Sam asked annoyed.
"Ahem. Yeah. So where do the Jinns lair up?" Dean asked clearing his throat.
"Ruins, usually. The bigger, the better. More places to hide" Sam explained and Dean remember seeing a warehouse.
"I saw a place a few miles back. I'm gonna go check it out" Dean said turning the car around.
'Come pick me up first" Sam said not wanting Dean to go hunting a Jinn alone.
"No. I'm sure it's nothing. I just wanna take a look around" Dean said hanging up making Sam sigh frustrated and really wish Kaylee was here. Dean pulled up to the abandoned warehouse and pulled out his torch and knife walking through the darkness. He caught sight of something behind him and spun around with his knife out but no one was there. He looked around confused, certain he saw something before suddenly he was attacked from behind by the Jinn and shoved up against a wall. The Jinn's skin turned blue and he placed a hand on Dean's head knocking him out cold.
…..
Dean woke up to thunder crashing and looked around to find himself in a house, in a bed, with a naked woman.
"Kaylee?" Dean whispered confused. The naked woman next to him was Kaylee. Something wasn't right here. Kaylee would never sleep with Dean, not after what had happened. Dean slide out of bed, careful not to wake her and was surprised when he actually succeeds. He had never managed to do that before because of her werewolf senses. He put some clothes on that he found on the floor and walked through the house confused. He turned the light on and pulled out his phone calling Sam.
"Dean? What's going on?" Sam asked confused.
"I don't know where I am" Dean said softly, careful not to wake up.
"What? What happened?" Sam asked sitting up straight at his desk.
"Well, the jinn, it attacked me" Dean said rubbing his head.
"The gin? You're drinking gin?" Sam asked amused.
"No, ass-hat, the jinn. The scary creature, remember? It put its hand on me and then I woke up next to Kaylee… naked" Dean said confused as hell by Sam's reaction.
"Yeah… she's your wife" Sam said making Dean stop his pacing and pale.
"What?" Dean asked looking at his left hand to see a wedding ring.
"Dean, you're drunk. You're drunk-dialling" Sam chuckled amused.
"I'm not. Quit screwing around" Dean snapped angry.
"It's late. All right, just get some sleep. I'll see you tomorrow, okay?" Sam said before hanging up. Dean looked at his phone confused before looking around find some mail on the table. Mail addressed to him… he was in Lawrence.
"Lawrence? What the hell?" Dean asked before hearing Kaylee wake up and walk out in a gown.
"Babe? What are you doing up?" Kaylee asked sleepily making Dean spin around.
"Hey, Kaylee. Kaylee, uh, I just, uh…" Dean stuttered not sure what to make of this. Kaylee had normal hazel coloured eyes, not white ones.
"Oh, you can't sleep, huh?" Kaylee said placing her hands on his chest.
"Yeah. Ha-ha" Dean chuckled unsure what to do.
"Well, why don't you come back to bed and let's see if I can do anything to help?" Kaylee said wrapping her arms around Dean's neck and grinning slyly. The same way she used to when she wanted sex.
"Sure. Yeah, in a minute. You go ahead" Dean said liking the idea of sleeping with Kaylee again but still not understanding what was going on.
"Okay. Don't stay up too long" Kaylee said coyly before kissing Dean on the lips. Dean watched Kaylee walk back into their bedroom and sighed. He walked over and looked at some photo frames. Most of them were off Kaylee and Dean, a couple of them were of their wedding before Dean saw a photo that shocked him more than anything. He picked it up before dropping it and running out of the house. He jumped in the Impala that he was thrilled he still had and walked up to their old house and knocked on the door. It opened to reveal Mary.
"Dean. What are you doing here? Are you all right?" Mary asked worried and Dean choked up.
"I don't know" Dean said honestly.
"Well, come inside. Kaylee just called and said you just took off all of a sudden" Mary explained letting Dean inside.
"Kaylee? Right. Let me ask you a question. When I was a kid, what did you always tell me when you put me to bed?" Dean asked in complete shock over Mary being alive.
"Dean, I don't understand…" Mary tried to say but Dean cut her off.
"Just answer the question" Dean begged.
"I told you angels were watching over you" Mary said before Dean walked over and hugged her tightly.
"Oh! Honey, you're scaring me. Now, just tell me what's going on" Mary asked worried.
"You don't think that wishes can really…? Forget it. Forget it. I'm just, uh… I'm happy to see you, that's all. You're beautiful. Ha" Dean said hugging Mary again.
"Hey, when I was, uh… when I was young, was there ever a fire here?" Dean asked walking over to look at photos.
"No, never" Mary said worried.
"I thought there was. I guess I was wrong" Dean muttered looking at photos of them growing up in a normal life. School, proms, family outings.
"Dad's on a softball team? Dad's softball team. It's… that's funny to me" Dean said laughing slightly.
"He loved that stupid team" Mary said softly.
"Dad's dead? And the thing that killed him was a…" Dean asked hoping it wasn't the yellow-eyed demon.
"A stroke. He died in his sleep, you know that" Mary said confused by Dean's behaviour.
"That's great" Dean muttered.
"Excuse me?" Mary snapped annoyed.
"That's great. That he went peacefully, I mean, it… It sure beats the alternative" Dean said softly thinking about what really happened to him.
"You've been drinking" Mary concluded disappointed in her son.
"No, I haven't. Mom" Dean begged.
"I'm just gonna call Kaylee and have her come pick you up, okay?" Mary said going to get the phone but Dean stopped her.
"Wait. No. Don't do- Don't do that. Don't do that. I wanna stay here" Dean said quickly holding his mother's hands.
"Why?" Mary asked confused.
"Because I miss the place. It's okay. You go to bed, okay?" Dean said sitting down on the lounge and looking around at the house, trying to memorize everything.
"Are you sure you're all right?" Mary asked placing a hand on Dean's cheek.
"I think so" Dean whispered leaning into her touch.
"Get some rest. I love you" Mary said before turning out the lights.
