Dean was aware now, that was a beginning. However he was scared, not for himself but for Sam. His sister smiled momentarily as she saw the big brother she knew come back to her. But Miriam had only a split second to stop her brother before he did something noble and true to Dean, but incredibly stupid – there was no way Dean could mount a rescue for Sam. But that didn't stop him from trying!

"He won't kill Sam," she reassured him rubbing his back trying to soothe him.

"He needs Sam to find you and to draw you to him. Nicholas knows that you love Sam and would do anything to get him back. He's counting on it. Please think about this," she desperately pleaded to her big brother!

"I don't care if it's a trap or not Miriam! Sam's hurt and confused and he needs me." Dean could only think about one thing, protecting Sam. He knew he had colossal powers, though he was still foggy on how to use them but he had cast Nicholas down in the beginning, locked him in what was thought to be an inescapable prison, he could do it again.

Suddenly both Immortals found themselves in a dimly lit hotel room. Sam was chained to the bed, looking pale and weak. From what they could see he was bleeding from his wrists, probably from pulling at his confines, and there was a huge symbol carved onto his chest that was slowly oozing blood making the bed linens red, instead of white. Dean immediately went for him but was stopped by an invisible wall! On the other side of the wall sat Nicholas, on the bed with his hands on Sam's bare chest, resting on the carving.

Sam hissed in pain as Nicholas put pressure on the symbol on his chest, causing fresh blood to flow. Then the bastard licked at it, his saliva closing the wound. As Sam began to sensually moan from the Immortals hold over him Dean flipped out!

There were no words that could describe the rage that Dean felt at his ex-lover touching his modern lover, his soulmate! The entire room quaked and he felt his sister adding to the power, trying to break the wall down, but Dean couldn't break through the barrier Nicholas had put up. He couldn't get to Sam and it crushed him; bringing about all the human emotions of guilt and self-loathing that he had always experienced! Emotions he hadn't felt in millennia coursed through him.

Nicholas was now kissing Sam and Sam was kissing him back. Moaning and writhing underneath him. He focused everything he had into tearing the wall down as Nicholas' hand went down Sam's pants! Dean had to save Sammy, he had to!

Nothing.

Nicholas looked up with an evil grin on his face at Dean. He had won this time! He had Dean's lover writhing underneath him, begging him for more. The devastation in Dean's eyes mixed with anger and hopelessness made Nicholas' grin widen. Then his eyes wondered past his ex-lover to Miriam, then they went wide.

"How," he stammered out?

She didn't dignify his question with a response. Instead she focused her power with her brothers and managed to knock the wall down, though she knew both her and Dean would regret it. The wall was the only thing keeping Nicholas' power in check against them. As soon as it was down Dean tackled Nicholas to the floor, beating the crap out of him with superhuman strength.

The more Dean punched the more Nicholas laughed. Dean was still using his human side to try to win this fight and it wouldn't work. Dean had been playing human too long to be at full power, or even remember how to use his full powers which would work to Nicholas' advantage. Miriam however would be another problem, she should have been removed from the universe but here she was, beside her brother – as fucking always. Nicholas laughed again and headbutted Dean so hard that he flew off and landed across the room.

While Dean took Nicholas' attention Miriam ran to help Sam. She had managed to get the chains loose and to get the anti-Christ in her arms ready to zap out of Nicholas' reach when her brother went flying across the room and Nicholas grabbed her shoulder, pulling it out of socket. Using her uninjured arm she produced her blade and Nicholas stopped cold.

"Where did you get that?"

"Where do you think?"She asked as she sliced at him, hitting his chest but only scratching as his reflexes were better.

Nicholas knew if she hadn't been injured he would have been severely hurt, enough that Dean would be able to take him out. He couldn't risk it, he had to get away, regain his strength but by god he was taking Sam with him! That boy was sex on legs and he could have so much fun breaking that huge body.

Sam was making his way toward Dean when Nicholas grabbed him by the hair and pulled him to his chest.

"Not so fast Sammy."

Nicholas had begun to form a bond with Sam, not as strong as the one between Sam and Dean but enough of one that Sam would soon be his. He knew that was the way to bring Dean to his knees, claim Sam. Nicholas needed to own Sam, make Sam crave nothing but him and the symbol was a start. That would be the best torture for Dean. Having the man he loved loving his enemy. The fight with Miriam had weakened him and he knew he was outnumbered. If he wanted to get out in one piece and fight another day he couldn't take Sam with him when he escaped. But he had the bond and he would find Sam. When Nicholas regained his strength he would come for him and no one would stand in his way! He zapped out, leaving nothing of himself behind.

Sam could feel demons and hellspawn coming. They had to get out of there now! Sam ran to where Dean lay, a heap against the wall. Lifting him up, though his own muscles hurt from being chained, he made his way to the door.

"We'll take Immortal transport," Miriam said as she laid a hand on Sam's shoulder.

A moment later they were beside the Impala. Miriam helped Sam put her brother in the backseat and then took the passenger side. Sam slide into the driver's seat and they sped away.

"I'm Miriam," she said looking at Sam. "Dean's sister."

"Sam," he said not taking his eyes off Dean in the back. "What the hell are you? What is Dean?"

At least the forced bond that Nicholas put on Sam seemed to be leaving as Sam was attuned to Dean. That was good, how long it would last she didn't know but at least they had each other for now.

"Sam, know that Dean loves you very much. Whatever happens from here on out please remember that."

"Yeah," Sam huffed. He feared that Dean would be upset still that he had tried to kill him, had abandoned him in the pursuit of revenge, had been cruel and vile toward him. Dean wouldn't forgive him easily. Yes he may love him, that he didn't doubt, but Sam couldn't hope for forgiveness easily…could he?

"So what the hell are you?" He had to change the subject he was thinking about, it hurt too much.

"We're Immortals. Formed before the universe. We can take human shape but we lose our powers and our memories. I made Dean remember what he was. But he was so worried about you that he went for the rescue before he was strong enough. He'll sleep for days I'm afraid. We need to get somewhere protected and quiet."

There were three things that scared Miriam now, the fact that Nicholas had formed a bond with Sam that they wouldn't know the effects of until Dean woke up. Two that Dean would wake up without his powers. If that was the case there would be no way she could take Nicholas down herself and Sam would be at his mercy while her brother watched helpless to do anything about it! And three that Sam was in shock because he was taking this all way too well.

"So where we going," she asked trying to keep cheery?

Sam knew just the place. He only hoped that Bobby would be receptive to having visitors. Especially visitors that no one really knew anything about.
