Here's a new Chapter, sorry I don't update more often, but I am working on this story again. Hopefully i'll have the next chapter written and posted soon. Many thanks to SeverusSnape'sLove, This chapter probably would not have been written if you hadn't reviewed.
It was raining, it was heavy, dusty rain that fell on Mina's head. Her hair was plastered to her head and skin by it. She was cold and shivering. Her was coat completely soaked and did nothing to keep her warm as she stood at the railing on the George Washington Bridge. She listened to the rain and the cars driving by, the sun was just beginning to set. She held the duffel bag that held her old weapons over the railing, she hesitated. What if she needed them? What if Crowley...
She let the bag go, and watched as it hit the water below. Letting out a sigh, she began walking towards the city, good old New York. She caught a cab to Brooklyn and made her way to MacGowan's. Dan and Chase's pub. Home.
Mina paused outside and leaned against the building. She took out her phone to call Dan. Mina was sure he hadn't told Chase that she was alive, walking right in would be stupid.
"Hello?" Dan asked, answering the phone.
"Dan." Mina answered.
"Mina! Where are you? How are you?" Dan asked.
"I'm outside." Mina told him.
"Outside the pub?" Dan asked. "Mina you shouldn't, you're dead remember?"
"I remember." Mina replied. Dan sighed.
"I'll be right out." Dan told here before hanging up. A couple minutes later he came out the door. He stopped when he saw her. "My god, you're soaked. Did you walk in this?"
"A little." Mina replied. Dan smiled and pulled her into a hug. "You're getting yourself wet."
"Come on, I'll explain everything to Chase." Dan said as he put and arm around her and escorted her inside. "He's in the back."
The pub was partially full. Most of the people were at booths or tables. Only a couple sat at the bar. Mina made her way to it as Dan went to the back to find Chase. She began to second guess her choice to come here. She would have stayed away but she had nowhere else to go. Mina sighed. She was about to order a glass of scotch, craig or whatever, when Dan returned.
"Why don't you come back here." Dan said.. Mina followed him to the back and into the office. Right as she stepped in, Chase grabbed her and pulled her into a hug.
"Did Dan tell you?" Mina asked softly. Chase nodded, not letting her go.
"He told me but I don't understand." He replied. Mina could her in his voice that he was crying, or had been at least a little.
"It's okay," She told him. "I'm okay, you're okay, everything's okay."
"But how?" Chase asked as he pulled away.
"Let's wait for story time til we close." Dan cut in before Mina could speak. Both Chase and Mina nodded their agreement. The two looked at each other and Chase hugged her again before going back to work.
"Here." Dan broke the silence, pouring them all a glass of scotch. They had closed up the pub a hour early and Mina had recapped her whole life story, and all that had happened with Crowley. Chase drank his glass and held it back out for more.
"So you've been hunting monsters since-" Chase started.
"Since I was nine." Mina finished. "Not right off the bat, Roy and I did the researching part for awhile. At thirteen I actually began taking down monsters."
"That's one screwed up childhood." Dan commented.
"Oh really, hadn't noticed." Mina spoke sarcastically as she took a drink.
"So this Crowley guy," Chase began. "how exactly did you get away from him?"
"I was a hunter, i know how to handle a demon." Mina replied. "King of Hell or not, a demon's a demon."
"King of Hell?!" Dan asked spitting out some scotch.
"He's not satan if that's what you're thinking." Mina told him. "Just a good looking Scot in a suit."
"You mean it's that guy that showed up in the bar three years ago?" Dan asked. "He didn't look like much."
"He's a manipulative sadistic bastard." Mina told them. "I'm lucky i haven't been on the receiving side of all that...though after this...I won't be surprised if i'm the next person in the torture chair."
"More scotch?" Dan inquired. "Sounds to me like you're gonna need it."
"Yes please." Mina said with a smile.
"Well, at least nothing's changed." Chase spoke up, they looked at him curiously. "The three of us getting drunk together."
"Yeah," Mina smiled. "I am going to need a place to lay low for a little while."
"You can stay in the apartment above the pub." Dan offered. "Chase is living at the dorms and I don't think my girlfriend would approve of me bring home a lady friend who she's never even heard of. I'm not prepared for that drama."
"Wimp." Mina and Chase said together, each with a smirk.
"I mean it." Dan mumbled. "take it or leave it."
"I'll take it." Mina smiled.
"Good," Dan said. "but I swear, if you put up any Scottish flags, I'll kick you out on your arse."
"No promises." Mina teased.
"Well come on then." Dan ordered as he stood. "I'll take you up."
"Kay." Mina responded as she got up and followed him.
"Hey Mina," Chase called after her. "I'm glad you're not dead."
"Me too kiddo."Mina spoke softly before she followed Dan up the stairs.
Dan got her settled in and gave her a key to the apartment. He gave her a hug and ruffled her hair, then he left her to her own devices. Mina sat on the bed, hands in her lap. She stared down at them as she thought about all that had happened. Crowley, the hellhounds, the winchesters, her weapons, the kiss... How was she going to make it back in the real world? She had no money, no clothes, no phone, nothing. Still, it was better than being a hunter again. Mina laid back on the bed and pulled the covers around her. Crowley would find her and she knew that, but maybe she'd get away with it. Maybe she'd be able to stay with her friends.
Author's Note:
Do you readers want this to be a Crowley romance? I know I said possible romance in the summary but i feel like I haven't even gotten to their friendship yet. I did originally plan this as a romance and I have written a little bit for them but that's chapters upon chapters away. Should I speed up the friendship to get to the romance faster?
