Author's note
Here it is the third chapter! So this chapter has some pretty touching (or in my opinion at least) scenes so play music that you think is appropriate for this. If you find one that fits really well post it in a review so others can use it too. Thanks a bunch and more will be put up soon.
Linka sat on the steps with her head in her hands. What was going on anymore? She didn't know she didn't think she would able to understand if it was all laid out in front of her anyway.
"So you think the colt won't work." She looked up. 2009 Dean was standing in front of her.
"No." She said flatly. "There are five things in the world that the colt won't kill. Lucifer is one of them, that and only an angel can kill another angel and despite the many names given to him and his belief in his own godliness Lucifer is still an angel."
"So all this time when I've been looking for the colt you've…"
"I've been right behind you killing anything that got in the way." She stood up.
"Why? If you think…"
"No, I know it won't work. They told me…back when they were still talking to me."
"You knew! You know!"
"Yes, I was told to keep my mouth shut! But once they stopped talking and I tried to tell you, you wouldn't listen despite everything I've done for you and everything I continue to do for you." She was angry.
"Well don't yell at me I'm not from here." She shook her head and looked sorry.
"I'm sorry. I just wanted to say that to present you for a while. You know you became so unbearable after the Detroit incident." She said. She remembered that time and how she had almost killed herself trying to keep him together. "It's in the past now…or in the future for you… this is getting confusing.
"But really, the colt?"
"It won't do a thing… that is if you can even get close enough. I know none of us will, but you will."
"Wait what?"
"Dean I don't want to say that I know what's going to happen but I know that it won't end well."
"How do you know?" She looked away then back.
"Because I know you and I know Lucifer."
Linka looked at the ammo she had spread out on the floor. The guns were in a row above them. She held her chin in her hand as she looked at it all. She picked up a small handgun and held it in her hand.
"Am I really going to be doing a lot of close range? Then again if I am doing close range I'm gonna want something that does damage, a lot of damage." She sighed. "So many choices." She put the small gun down and picked up a much larger one. She held it up and aimed at the wall. She would use that one, but she was going to take other ones. She decided to take precautions even though she knew that she would probably not walk away from this one. Still she knew that if she showed any form of fear or doubt it would scare the others.
Linka threw the bag in the truck bed and looked over to Dean. She gave him a languishing look. He looked away.
"Hoard it Hoard it likes its gold… because it is."
"Chuck, I think he gets it." Linka walked over. "So Dean, you ready?"
"Define ready." He smiled. She had always liked the sense of humor in the face of certain doom. It wasn't appropriate but it did relieve pressure on her mind. She turned to Chuck. "Good-bye Chuck." She said.
"Bye Linka, see you soon." She kept smiling so he wouldn't get alarmed the man was jumpy enough as it was.
"Yeah, see you soon." He waved and backed away a little.
"Hey Linka, someone's here to see you." She looked at 2009 Dean then turned her head a little. It was Eric walking to her. She tried to step back but she got a small push from Dean. She gave him an irritated look. He just smiled his cocky smile at her. She hadn't seen that one in a few years.
"Eric." She said sounding a little too chipper. "What…"
"I came to say good-bye and wish you luck." He said sounding slightly dead.
"Thank you."
"So when are you getting back?"
"Why?"She said in a coy voice. "Are you going to miss me?" She said half joking as she said it.
"Yes." He said flatly. She was stunned.
"Oh…" She took a step closer.
"Linka!" It was 2014 Dean yelling at her. "Come on Linka we don't have all night here!"
"I'm coming! Hang on a second!"
"We don't have a second so get your butt in gear!" She sighed.
"I… I have to…"
"Bye Linka." He stepped back and she took a few back steps before she turned. She had her hand on the door. Castiel and 2009 Dean were looking at her. Each of them saying just do it. We know you want to. With their faces. She looked over her shoulder he was walking away his back to them. She let go of the door handle and ran back.
"Eric!" She yelled. He stopped and turned to see her running to him. She stopped a foot away from him. "Eric I… I…" She didn't know what to say and the electric sensation under her skin was making it hard to concentrate.
"What…" She didn't let him finish his sentence. She had her arms wrapped around him and her lips pressed to his. She thought she should stop because there was nothing happening he wasn't kissing her back but then she felt his hands press against her back. She felt light and it was pure bliss. She pulled him closer to her and he pressed against her back pushing her closer. She felt the electricity run down her spine and out and down her arms and legs. She liked the pulse and rush. She didn't want that moment to end. She didn't want to go and met her end. She wanted to live forever in that one span of time where she felt free and happy, where she was finally doing something for herself. It was amazing. She wasn't closed off and alone. This moment she had someone who she could be honest with. She pulled away to breathe. She looked at him. She could see her reflection in his eyes. She moved her hand through his hair still locked in his gaze.
"I love you." He said. She couldn't help but to smile and kiss him again. Those words that had almost no meaning to her before now carried immense weight. She pulled back.
"I love you too." He smiled. For a second time was still and they stood there as statues in the other's arms.
"Linka!" She was ripped from her state ecstasy. "Linka lets go!" She looked back to see 2014 Dean leaning out a window yelling for her. She looked back at him.
"I have to go. Good-bye Eric." She stepped away and felt his arms fall from her body.
"Good-bye Linka." She walked back and got in the truck. She waved slowly from the back window. He waved back at her. Both looked sorrowful at the parting. She would always remember him and that moment as being one of the few fond memories she had. It would be her retreat.
"So…"
"It was great." She said before Castiel could ask.
