p class="MsoNormal"She had tried to resist. No really, she managed to stay inside the apartment for seven hours before the urge became too strong and she went out. Then again, it was better for everyone if she was up to date with the happenings of the town, like what her brothers were hunting, what her brothers were doing and why the fuck they were talking to Gabe./p
p class="MsoNormal"There was no way they had managed to track her down. They didn't know her tactics and she knew how to disappear without leaving a single clue to her whereabouts. Her brothers were smart, she'd give them that, but she was the one who raised the munchkins and knew how they thought and what they'd do in such a situation./p
p class="MsoNormal"She guessed it wasn't very impressive being proud of your ability to run away. But it was all in the name of finally being able to put herself first, as selfish as that sounded./p
p class="MsoNormal"Anyway, back to the main topic. She was keeping an eye on them. How you may ask? It was through the power of gossiping neighbours./p
p class="MsoNormal"No, seriously. It was as much a surprise to her as it is to you, but the local people really took a liking to her and loved having over for dinner./p
p class="MsoNormal"She hated it at first. That kind of attention wasn't really wanted and she did everything to get the well-mannered people to dislike her. She couldn't talk herself into getting any piercings (the last hunter she knew of that had piercings ended up with their ear ripped in half and a chunk out of their lip), so instead she cut her hair ridiculously short and now had tattoos crawling up her arms and neck./p
p class="MsoNormal"And yes, they were all symbols to ward off all sorts of creepy fuglies. (Gabe loved them and liked to trace them)/p
p class="MsoNormal"It didn't work and Mercy found herself right slap bang in the centre of the gossip network, which is how she found herself sat in the living room of Mrs Jane Henriksen, the wife to some big shot FBI and one of the best lecturers in the local college. The irony didn't escape her of being close friends with the authorities./p
p class="MsoNormal""Those boys have been asking very strange questions, you know." The woman said as she placed a cup of coffee on the kitchen table in front of Mercy. "They asked me whether the school has been experiencing cold spots or smells of sulphur. It's all very strange."/p
p class="MsoNormal""Well, strange things keep happening, all 'round town. We may as well have some strange FBI to go with it all." Mercy joked as she took a sip of the drink. If Mercy didn't know any better she'd say the woman used some form of magic to make the coffee so amazing./p
p class="MsoNormal""Hmm, enough about the two stooges, I want to know about that boyfriend of yours and how's your younger brother doing?" Mercy smiled widely at the kind-eyed woman who sat across from her./p
p class="MsoNormal""Gabe is just as he always is. Pranking the students and staff and spoiling me rotten. Also, Adam's doing really well. He's recently decided to follow in his mum's footsteps and is working towards going to university to study medicine. He's still got a way to go, but he's a smart kid."/p
p class="MsoNormal""That sounds great. From the way you talk about him, I wouldn't be surprised if he manages to reach the top of all his classes. I just hope my kid's just as driven when they grow up." She took another sip of the coffee and looked at Mercy with a glint of mischief in her eye./p
p class="MsoNormal"If it weren't for the years of experience of keeping calm Mercy was fairly sure that she would have sprayed the contents of her mouth all over the woman opposite her. She harshly gulped down said contents and blinked owlishly./p
p class="MsoNormal""You're pregnant!" She exclaimed in excitement. The last time she had been in close proximity to a pregnant woman was her mother. If she was any indicator, Mercy knew that Mrs Henriksen was going to be positively glowing by the time her stomach started protruding./p
p class="MsoNormal""About a month and a half along, didn't really know until the doctor said. It was a surprise but I really can't wait!"/p
p class="MsoNormal"The two women continued to discuss the future of the child that was growing inside Jane's womb. Mercy would be lying if she said she wasn't excited to see the face of a baby once again, and no, that wasn't the slight pang of jealousy in her chest. As much as she would like a child, she knew she and Gabe weren't ready and probably never would be./p
p class="MsoNormal"That was just the result of having a crappy childhood and little proof of good parenting./p
p class="MsoNormal"-/p
p class="MsoNormal"Mercy sighed as she lay on the bed, staring at the ceiling with a wistful expression and a hand on her stomach. Would it really be that bad, having a kid?/p
p class="MsoNormal"She was settling down now, no more hunting the things in the night. It was safe and she knew how to raise a kid. She knew Gabe would be a wonderful father, even if he didn't think so. They were the perfect age to have one or two, maybe three if they wanted./p
p class="MsoNormal"Mercy sighed again and rolled over to her side and stared at her hand instead. Maybe that would have more answers than the white swirls above her./p
p class="MsoNormal"Wasn't it God who said "go forth and multiply"? Wasn't it the whole reason for existing, to create offspring? That's what science said, so why was it so hard to decide if she really wanted a kid?/p
p class="MsoNormal"Or maybe she was just reaching that time of the month and her hormones are trying to trick her into thinking that she wanted it rather than just her body wanting it./p
p class="MsoNormal"She sighed for a third time. Really, there wasn't much point in thinking about this kind of thing alone. It would just go around in circles and she would never come to an answer, so she would just have to wait for Gabe to come home./p
p class="MsoNormal"That was going to be a difficult conversation./p
p class="MsoNormal"Before she could talk herself out of going through with her plan, her phone started to ring. She couldn't help but glare at it for a second before recognising the tone./p
p class="MsoNormal""Hey Jane, why are you calling at," she took a look at the clock, "Eight in the evening?"/p
p class="MsoNormal""Mercy, has Gabe come back yet?" Mercy sat up straight and furrowed her eyebrows in concern. Jane sounded worried and slightly panicked, which was bad for a woman who calmly scolded her husband after hearing about yet another near death experience./p
p class="MsoNormal""No, I just thought he was staying behind to set up an elaborate prank for tomorrow. What's wrong? Has something happened to Gabe?" It wouldn't matter what the woman now said, Mercy was already getting her stuff together and pulling her boots on./p
p class="MsoNormal""Mercy, please don't do anything stupid. It's just that during school I went to see Gabe, there was a problem with the projector but when I got to his locker I heard those sketchy FBI talk about confronting Gabe or something after school. Gabe wasn't there to hear that of course but I started to get worried."/p
p class="MsoNormal"Mercy went into some kind of shock and stood stock still. It didn't seem quite right. There was no way it was really happening, right?/p
p class="MsoNormal"She took deep breaths trying to calm her down. She wasn't going to help anyone if she was petrified in place./p
p class="MsoNormal"She started thinking it over. Her brothers were in town because of the professor's death and were investigating it. They went to interview Gabe because he was the one who found the body. Gabe co-operated and told them everything. The boys suspected it was a trickster and knew Gabe liked sweets and played pranks and HOLY FUCKING SHIT THEY WERE GOING TO KILL GABE!/p
p class="MsoNormal"Mercy was sprinting towards the school building in seconds of realising the situation. It was almost a sense of dèjá vu but this time she was not running away. She was going into this typical Winchester style; head first and no fucking plan but the basics to use as weapons./p
p class="MsoNormal"She didn't feel the burn of her lungs or the strain on her legs. It was a familiar feeling and was a comfort to Mercy. This was what she was good at, saving people./p
p class="MsoNormal"She forgot just one thing. Winchester's were good at saving people, but they were better at killing things./p
p class="MsoNormal"The scene she came upon after kicking the door down was the stuff of nightmares. She had arrived just in time for her to watch the blood covered stake pierce through Gabe's chest. She watched in silence as the man she loved so much slumped down as the light of life faded from his eyes./p
p class="MsoNormal"She couldn't move, couldn't breathe. She was fairly sure her heart was silent too. After all, hearts don't make a sound when they fall to pieces./p
p class="MsoNormal"Watching Bobby and the boys smile at each other in a "job well done" was the last straw that broke the weak denial holding her mind together./p
p class="MsoNormal"The noise that came out of her mouth couldn't have been human. Not with the way it tore through her throat and the agony that was coming from her heart./p
p class="MsoNormal"The three men turned to face her in surprise, recognition flashed on their faces along with a hint of happiness and confusion mixed with concern. She didn't care about them, fuck them./p
p class="MsoNormal"She only had eyes for the broken, lifeless body of the only one who truly made her realise that she was important./p
p class="MsoNormal"She kneeled at the feet of the body that used to be Gabe. How or when she got there, she didn't care. She reached out to touch his limp knee but froze before she could. Tears poured down her face as she realised that she couldn't touch him. Couldn't let this be reality, it had to be a dream./p
p class="MsoNormal"Just another of those fucking dreams that tormented her but never really bothered her because she knew Gabe was going to be right there when she woke up./p
p class="MsoNormal"He was going to pull her into a strong hug that would ground her and make some lame joke about seeing her own face in her dreams. He would ignore the tears in her eyes and instead sing a little song that was so off key that she wouldn't be able to keep herself from laughing and joining in and this would all be forgotten./p
p class="MsoNormal"That had to be the truth. There was no way Gabe was dead. Gabe couldn't die. They were supposed to be going to Jane's baby shower next weekend and Gabe wouldn't miss it for the world. She was supposed to have the conversation with him./p
p class="MsoNormal"She was going to tell him she wanted to carry his children. That she wanted to get married. That she loved him and they were going to grow old together and spoil their grandkids and eat a ton of candy and sleep together and die old, happy and ready for the next life./p
p class="MsoNormal"She was going to stress about life and he was going to laugh at her and hug her and kiss her and joke and pull her into bed and declare his everlasting love for her and… and… and…/p
p class="MsoNormal"He promised to never leave./p
p class="MsoNormal"Reality crashed around her. There wasn't going to be anymore jokes, anymore kisses, anymore actions that made her feel so safe and loved. They weren't going to have a gorgeous baby who would have her eyes and his hair and nose./p
p class="MsoNormal"Another scream ripped out of her body and she buried her head into the lap of the man she had given everything to; her heart and soul, now gone, along with him./p
p class="MsoNormal"IT WASN'T FAIR! THEY HAD DONE NOTHING WRONG! They were happy, complete in their lives. Why did fate have to take him away as well? Why did fate take everything she loved?!/p
p class="MsoNormal""Mercy?" The soft voice of her youngest brother brought her out of her mind. Her head and heart ached and her face was soaked in tears but she couldn't find it in her to care./p
p class="MsoNormal""Why did you have to kill him?" She whispered, not even glancing at them. She couldn't look at them, not after this./p
p class="MsoNormal""He was hurting people. He killed people; we needed to put him down." Dean replied./p
p class="MsoNormal""So what?" She murmured./p
p class="MsoNormal""What?" Dean asked./p
p class="MsoNormal""So what if he was hurting people? They all deserved it." She spoke louder this time. She winced at how broken she sounded./p
p class="MsoNormal""How can you say that? Mercy, it's our job to gank monsters! Loki was no exception!" Sam practically yelled./p
p class="MsoNormal"Mercy viciously turned to glare at them, tears ruining the affect as they continued to fall./p
p class="MsoNormal""He wasn't a monster!" She screamed./p
p class="MsoNormal""He was a trickster!" Dean screamed back./p
p class="MsoNormal""I know!" She hiccupped, "I knew the whole time, but I didn't care. I still loved him." She heard all three of them gasp as they gaped at her./p
p class="MsoNormal""I was even going to ask him if he was ready to have kids." She whispered. All the anger she had held before drained away, leaving her feeling empty and hollow. She just wanted Gabe to smile at her again./p
p class="MsoNormal""We're sorry-" Sam started but she cut him off with a simple./p
p class="MsoNormal""No you're not. Hunters are never sorry for killing monsters. Just get out of here. I don't want to see you ever again."/p
p class="MsoNormal"Lies, she needed someone to stay with her. She wanted her brothers to comfort her, but she knew she had to make them leave because they did something unforgivable./p
p class="MsoNormal"But she knew that she would end up forgiving them anyway, because that was who she was and that was the true power they held over her./p
p class="MsoNormal"Gabe deserved better than that. Gabe deserved so much more than her forgiving and forgetting. If she could have she would have shot the three hunters on the spot. She probably would have if they were anyone else./p
p class="MsoNormal"She hated herself./p
p class="MsoNormal""Mercy-" Bobby placed a hand on Dean's arm, effectively shutting him up./p
p class="MsoNormal""Let's go, son. She needs to grieve."/p
p class="MsoNormal""No!" Surprisingly it was Sam who moved to grab his sister./p
p class="MsoNormal"Pure rage rushed through her veins and she quickly punched the taller sibling in the face with all her strength. She glared harshly at the stunned man on the floor./p
p class="MsoNormal""Get out of my fucking face." She spat, "I want nothing to do with either of you. It's because of the two of you that I have lost everything precious I ever had. In the past I didn't care, I gave it all up willingly because I loved you. But this was one step too far; he is the one thing I care about more than you two leeches."/p
p class="MsoNormal"Just to sate the last remnants of rage still boiling within her, she dropped her hunter phone on the floor and stomped on it, destroying their only way of contacting her in one move./p
p class="MsoNormal"They quickly left after that and left the weeping woman to continue hugging the leg of her lost partner./p
p class="MsoNormal"It wasn't until she had finally managed to calm down that she realised it./p
p class="MsoNormal"She almost started laughing hysterically and new tears started to fall down her face./p
p class="MsoNormal"Those weren't Gabe's shoes./p
p class="MsoNormal""You are never allowed to leave me again." She spoke aloud. There was the sound of rustling and Mercy knew who now stood just behind her./p
p class="MsoNormal"She turned to see a guilty smile on his face and love clearly shone in his eyes./p
p class="MsoNormal""So kids? I think I'd like that."/p
p class="MsoNormal"There was no way they had managed to track her down. They didn't know her tactics and she knew how to disappear without leaving a single clue to her whereabouts. Her brothers were smart, she'd give them that, but she was the one who raised the munchkins and knew how they thought and what they'd do in such a situation./p
