YAY Enter Bobby! Everybody loves Bobby :D
The next day Neal was still by her side and he looked exhausted. It was obvious that he hadn't fallen asleep that night and had instead stayed awake beside her, watching her all night.
"Here," Melinda said, handing him a plate with breakfast on it.
"Thanks," he said softly taking the plate.
There was a sudden knock at the door. Jessica opted to get the door for him.
"Hey, Peter. Hey, El," she said. Neal looked up and nodded as they walked intohis apartment.
"How is she, Neal?" Elizabeth asked trying to hide her surprise at seeing the girl floating in the air.
"She's hanging in there," he said sadly, taking her hand. Elizabeth and Peter's eyes were sad as they watched the two.
"They have a… healer coming in to see her later today. He had to come all the way from South Dakota," Neal said absently.
"Will he be able to help?" Elizabeth asked glancing at the others.
"We really don't know," Dean said, "She is, as far as we know, the only of her kind."
"But surely there have been others like her," Peter said.
"Yeah but they were either killed or hidden in secrecy so much there are no records of them. No histories, no health guides, nothing," Sam said.
"So it's pretty much instinct and guess work," Peter said in understanding.
"In these cases that's the best we can do," Dean said.
"Well that and pray," Melinda said. "As a priestess to the Lord it will be beneficial to send Him our prayers for her health."
Her hand lighted on Neal's shoulder in a comforting gesture. He didn't even glance up at her.
"She's gonna be okay, Neal," Elizabeth said trying to comfort him.
"I wish I could be as sure as you," he said.
"Bobby will be here soon and he will help her," Jessica said softly. Neal nodded solemnly.
Lindsey's face suddenly twisted sickeningly and she let out a yell in pain and her fists clenched in agony. Neal jumped up and grabbed her hand calling her name and trying to calm her.
"What's going on?" he demanded looking at the rest of her clan.
They just shrugged, "We've never seen her this injured before," said Jessica.
"We just have to let her ride it out," Sam said pulling the distraught con-man away. "At this point that's all we can do."

After a while she was back to normal. Or as normal as she was as wounded as she was. Hours had passed since the incident and Peter and Elizabeth had left with promise of news at a later time and now they were just waiting for Bobby to show up. He would be there any moment and everyone was waiting as patiently as they could.
