Ghosts Of Ben

Chapter 9

A/N: now I know alot of you might get upset at what I'm going to do in this chapter, but its a necessary Evil. I must do it to progress the story along to where I want it to go. One Question For Future Chapters, I decided to add Ben to the story...how should I do this? Dream, Spirit or manticore faked death. Let me know, your feedback is like gold to me.

The Winchesters had been in terminal city for exactly four months, Alec/Dean was exhausted between watching Aly and doing various things around TC, but he didn't let it bother him. Aly was learning to fight, Sam was learning some new fighting techniques that he hadn't even realised that his brother knew, but then again there was alot that Sammy didn't know about his brother's transgenic side. The Trust was starting to build again between Max and Alec/Dean, they'd started getting closer, doing missions, Max would often take care of Aly and even once in awhile take her to the Jam Pony offices to see her old crew.

Alec did eventually find out about the things that Logan did to Max and despite how much Original Cindy didn't want to tell him she did it for them. She knew that Alec and Max were just right for eachother, they just had a hard time admitting it to themselves.

Alec/Dean had been out getting supplies and had been gone a few days, when he got back it was chaos in Terminal City, as he pulled the old Impala up to the gates he was stopped by Mole, there were cops inside of the gates at TC what the hell was going on?.

"You really don't wanna go in there Princess"

Alec/Dean looked at him trying to read the transhuman's face, something was wrong, something was very very wrong.

"Mole what is it? Did something happen to my brother?"

Mole shook his head and sighed

"Birdie..."

Alec/Dean's heart lept into his throat and he felt like he couldn't breathe.

"W-what happened to Aly?"

Mole Looked down and just shook his head

"Alec...you don't want to go in there and see that"

Ofcourse Alec/Dean stepped out of the car and walked past Mole who once again tried to stop him, Max ran to his side as well.

"Alec...don't"

Alec/Dean weaved his way through the crowd and froze as he saw cops and investigators walking around and taking pictures of his little girl, his baby was dead, not Caring what the cops said he just slowly walked to the body and knelt down, something inside was breaking, pulling his baby girl into his arms he let out a primal scream of a man in pain.

He Barely felt his brother's arms as they enveloped him in a tight embrace, Sammy was there...Sammy was ok....but who was protecting Aly...What the hell happened here? Dean looked at Sam with tears in his eyes.

"Who...Who did this? She's just a baby Sammy"

Sam was having his own issues trying to keep his tears reigned in, he'd been right there when it happened, he'd had no warning that the bullet was even coming at them, he was sure he'd failed his brother somehow, but Dean wouldn't blame him, he shook his head and held his brother tighter.

"I dunno Dean. But I'm gunna find out who did it. And they're going to pay"

Max went over and knelt by the brothers.

"I've already got teams out scouring the area for your father, in case it was him"

Alec/Dean's blood ran cold, he'd almost ALMOST forgotten about John being out of Prison, then looked to Max.

"I need to find Lydecker. I need to know what he knows"

Max nodded and hugged him gently

"I'll get ahold of him. Set up a neutral spot to meet."

Alec/Dean let her hug him but wouldn't relinquish the tight grip he had on his little girl's body, as he looked down at the little blonde he was reminded of how much she looked like Rachel, he'd failed, he promised he'd take care of Aly, he failed Rachel, failed his mission, failed to keep his promise, Both Sam and max's hearts broke as another scream came from Alec/Dean's throat, leaning against Sam he sobbed uncontrollably.

"sorry....Rachel....Tried....failed...sorry..."

As Alec/Dean rocked holding his daughter's body Sam rocked with him trying to calm his brother down, but how do you calm a man that's lost the last link to the woman he loved? How do you tell him its ok that his child is dead? You don't, you can't, Sam knew this, he also knew that this was destroying his brother, just as Ben's death had begun Alec/Dean's internal destruction, this would finish it, Sam could feel it, he brother wouldn't be Dean anymore, he wouldn't be Alec, he'd revert back to being X5-494, A soldier, he'd never be close to anyone again, and it broke Sam's heart because he knew this would be the reason he'd lose his brother, because Dean wouldn't stop until John Winchester was dead, and he wouldn't care if he took himself out in the process.
