Hard to Handle ~The Black Crows

Dean sat in the same hospital chair that he had been in for the last few hours. Felicity had gotten out of surgery two hours ago, but the doctor said that she need time to rest before him and Sam went and saw her. Ever so often Sam had offered that Dean should go get something to eat or go take a walk, but every time Dean said the same thing;

"No Sam."

Sam walked back over to his brother with two cups of coffee and a brown paper bag. It had to be around five o'clock in the morning now, and they still couldn't go in and see her. Sam sat down and handed Dean a cup.

"I got you a bagel sandwich. Anything yet?"

"No."

Dean said then took a sip as Sam started to pull food out of the bag. Now that he smelt food his stomach started to growl at him. When Sam held out the sandwich he almost ripped it out of his hands and took a bite immediately. Silences was between the two brothers as they ate their breakfast, both looking at the door across the hall from them. A few minutes later a nurse came out of Felicity's room and walked over to Sam and Dean.

"Can we go and see her?"

Dean asked before the mid aged nurse named Ella, that had been assigned to her room said anything. She looked at Dean and rolled her eyes. Every time he'd see her since Felicity went into surgery he's asked her the same question.

"Yes. Now hold on."

She added as Dean stood up in a flash. He stopped in front of her and waited for what she had to say.

"She's awake and she can leave today, but please be careful with her. She's still weak."

Then Ella motioned to Dean that he could go and he practically ran into the room, busting down the door. He looked over the bed and saw Felicity sitting up in her bed with a look of shock on her face.

"Calm down Winchester. I'm okay."

"What were you thinking Felicity?"

"That you and Sam would be faster. My mistake. Look I'm fine."

"Like hell you are. Look at yourself. You dad is going to have our heads when he finds out what happened."

Dean almost yelled as he stood at the end of her hospital bed. At the same time Sam had entered the room and had a look of surprise on his face when he heard his brother yelling. He went to go back into the hallway, but Felicity's voice stopped him.

"No Sam. You get your ass in here."

She said making him turn back around and close the door behind him, then he watched as Felicity look back at Dean.

"This is what you're so pissed about? My dad? He's a big boy Winchester. He knows what happens on cases. He'll take it just fine."

"You were my responsibility, Felicity. I was supposed to take care of you and looked what happened?"

"Grow a pair, Dean. I'm fine. Now lets get out of here."

Felicity said taking one last look at Dean before turning herself to the side if the bed, bring her feet to the floor.

"How about you make yourself useful and get my bag, Dean?"

She said glaring at him again. Dean's jaw tighten and left the room, mumbling under his breath.

"What was that?"

Felicity asked in a mocking tone, but Dean didn't take her bait, he just went over to the door and left the room. Felicity didn't look at Sam as she eased herself off the bed, putting her weight on her feet.

"Wanna help Sammy, my boy?"

She asked not trusting her legs just yet. Sam quickly walked over to her and held out his hands.

"Why are you so hard on Dean?"

"That's just how I am I guess when people get all protective of me. It's not really anyone's job. I can take care of myself."

"That's just Dean for you."

"I guess. So are we heading back home?"

She asked as Sam helped her stand on her feet. Felicity looked down at her feet before looking at Sam, seeing that he was looking at her feet too. Slowly he let go of her hands and she stood on her own. Felicity let out a small laugh as her leg held the rest of her body weight up just like normal.

"Looks like I'm a normal human again."

She said with a smile as she looked up at Sam. He smiled back at her then the door opened again and Dean walked back into the room with a pink duffle bag in his hand. He looked over at the two, having a small smile on his face when she saw Felicity standing on her own.

"Here. We'll leave in ten minutes. I'll go sign her out."

He said throwing the bag on the bed then leaving the room as quickly as he came in. Felicity walked over to the bed and grabbed the bag, then walked to the bathroom.

Felicity sat in the shotgun seat as Dean drove down the Iowa highway. They had been on the road since five that morning and they were about two hours out from Sioux Falls. Sam was in the back seats of the Mustang asleep, he had been out for about a half an hour and Felicity and Dean hadn't said much to each other since the hospital that morning.

Felicity looked over at Dean and watched him look at the road in front of them. Sighing she shifted in her seat.

"Look, I'm sorry I was a major bitch this morning. I can take care of myself."

"Felicity you could have died. I don't want to go back to Bobby without you. He would kill us if that happened."

"You're right, he would."

She said with a laugh, making Dean smile as he gripped the steering wheel a little bit tighter. He looked at her for a quick second. He couldn't help it. She was gorgeous, not that he would ever tell her or another living soul that. What he loved the most about her was her blue eyes. They were bright blue and they had some kind of innocence about them. Whenever she smiled her eyes seemed to do the same. No wonder they called the eyes the windows to souls. He knew that beneath her rough hunter side she was caring person, a lot like him. Underneath it all Dean knew that he was just a person wanting to do right by the people around him and that he was willing to risk everything to save the most people he can.

"So tell me this. Did you sell your soul?"

"What? How do you know about that?"

"A girl hears things."

Dean looked over at her, wanting to know the real way she heard about his deal with a crossroads demon. Felicity laughed and shook her head at the look on his face. She lifted her feet up off the floor and brought them to her chest before answering him.

"I overheard my dad on the phone with you one time. Then I heard you and Sam talking about it the other day. So, why'd you do it?"

Dean swallowed and tighten his grip on the wheel before answering her. Remembering the night he went to the last place he'd ever go looking for help.

"Sam died. I couldn't go on without Sam. So I went to make a deal, she said that the normal ten year deal wasn't going to cut it. All I could get was a year."

"When does your hourglass run out?"

"May 2nd."

Felicity nodded. It was only three months away, give or take. She looked out the window for a minute or so before speaking again to Dean.

"You're trying to find a way to stay, right?"

"Ever since I did the deal. Why? You getting attached?"

Dean asked with a laugh, making Felicity's turn red. She looked away from him and mumbled something under her breath making Dean laugh again.

"What was that? I didn't hear you."

"Bite me, Winchester."

She said sticking out her tongue. Dean chuckled yet again and turned back to the road.

"Don't tempt me, Felicity."

The red Mustang finally turned onto the Singer's private drive at fifteen minutes to seven. Everyone in the car was ready to sleep on a real bed and have a drink. When Dean put the car in park, Felicity was the first out of the car. She rushed to the trunk and opened it, grabbing her bag, then she run up the stairs to the house. Sam and Dean got of the car by the time she started up the stairs, and the brother's couldn't help but laugh at her.

"Someone is excited to be home."

Sam said with a smile on his face as he walked over to the trunk grabbing his bag. Dean chuckled at his brother closed his door. With Felicity's car keys in hand he walked to the trunk and grabbed his two bags out of it. Closing the trunk he started up to the house, his eyes wandering to the shop on the back part of the property and his mind, for the first time in the last three days, went to his Baby.

"I'll be inside in a bit."

Dean called to Sam who was already half way up the stairs. Sam stopped and looked at his brother who had stopped in the drive and was turned towards the junk yard. Sam nodded at him then he walked up the rest of the stairs as Dean walked back to the shop.

The front door was wide open when Sam got up the front porch. Walking inside he closed it and looked around for Bobby or Felicity.

"Bobby?"

"Kitchen."

He called. With his duffle bag over his shoulder and laptop in hand, Sam walked to the kitchen and saw that Bobby was grabbing a beer from the fridge. He pulled out another one and held it out for Sam. The youngest Winchester smile and took a few steps over to him and took it.

"Thanks Bobby."

"How'd the hunt go?"

"Didn't Felicity tell you?"

"She told me 'Hi. The asshole is dead and I have to pee.'"

Bobby said with a rare laugh, making Sam smile again as he opened his beer. Above them they heard the toilet flush and the sound of footsteps walking down the hall. Seconds later Felicity was in the kitchen with a smile on her face.

"Hey dad."

She said giving him a hug. Bobby said hi and hugged his daughter. Sam smiled to himself as he watched the two Singers, he had never really seen Bobby like this. Normally Bobby would be all business and not go to to soft side, but it seemed that he had a soft spot for his little girl, like most fathers had.

"How'd it go?"

Bobby asked as Felicity went over to the fridge to grab some food. Sam looked at Felicity, who told him to answer the question. Sam walked over to the small table in the room and put his things down before he answered Bobby.

"Felicity and Dean went to the police station and they had scarcity photo from the building of the last victim. We found out a connection between all the victims was that they were all gym rats in a way. So we went to a bunch of gyms looking for them. When we found them Felicity found out that they were Deimos and Phobos, Greek demigods of fear and dread. Um, we found their hide out and chopped their head with bronze."

"And no one got hurt?"

"Nothing major dad."

Felicity said with a smile on her face as she took a drink of her beer. Sam looked at Felicity to Bobby, knowing that he really didn't believe that nothing happened. Before anything else could be said about the subject Felicity spoke again.

"Where's Dean? Did he fall asleep in Roxann?"

"No. He went to go work on the Impala."

Felicity nodded then left her father's side and walked into the hallway. Sam felt Bobby's eye linger on him and his shifted his weight on his feet under the uncomfortableness of the situation. Looking up from his beer he saw that Bobby was looking at him with his 'all knowing father' look to his eyes at him.

"What happened between Dean and Felicity?"

Sam's brown eyes grew wide and looked for the right words to use. Bobby raised an eyebrow, accepting the worse to come.

"Um, nothing. They yelled at each other, but other than that, nothing."

Bobby waited a second, to see if Sam was going to say anything more, but when nothing else was said he nodded.

"Good. Sorry that I didn't warn you boys that Felicity can be a little hard to handle at times. I think I have found you boys a case in Montana."

Bobby said motioning for Sam to follow him to the living room.

It wasn't until it was almost ten a night when Dean finally came inside. He had finished fix Baby and he was ready for a beer. As he walked to the kitchen he heard someone clear their throat from the living room. Dean stopped dead in his tracks for some reason, feeling like he was a teenager again and he was caught sneak back in for a night out. Looking to his right he saw Felicity standing up from the couch walking over to him.

"What do you think you're doing?"

"Getting a beer."

"Then what?"

"I don't know. Go to bed."

"Nope. You're coming with me."

Dean looked at her like she was crazy for a second. The smile that she wore looked like it belonged to a crazy person, she laughed when she saw Dean's face.

"This might be the last time I see you. Come on. Who can say no to a night out? What do ya say Winchester?"

Dean thought for a moment before answering Felicity with a grin. When she saw his smile she knew that she had won him over. Pulling out her keys from her back jean pocket she motioned to the door.

"Oh no. I just fixed my Baby. I'm gonna show you what a car can do."

Felicity gasped and put her hand over her heart. Making Dean smile again, he had to love it when she acted like a bit of a goofball instead of the tough hunter shell that they all wore.

"You did not just insult my Roxann."

"Roxann?"

"Long story. I'll tell you later. Let's go."

She said walking into the hallway and pushing past him and walking to the door. Dean stayed for a moment. He looked around, he had a feeling that Bobby was going to pop out at any moment and yell at them to go to bed or something. Then he looked at Felicity who had her hand on the door handle. Looking up to her eyes he saw the wild devilish look to them and he could help but smirk and follow her lead.

When Dean shut the front door behind him Felicity let out a laugh into the night as she raced down the stairs and towards the black Impala. Dean smiled again to himself and thought that he could get used to this. Hurrying down the stairs he got to the drivers' side of Baby and opened the door, getting in. He looked over at Felicity when he put the keys into the ignition and turned them, making the engine roar to life.

"Eh. I've heard better."

Dean shook his head and put his foot on the gas, speeding off down the gravel road.

Author's Note:

I have to say that I kinda liked last's episode. The ending was the best ever with Taylor Swift. But there was still no Crowley. I don't care that they're "building up to it". I want Crowley now!
