Hey guys… I'm really sorry for the delay… but I have really needed a good distance between Supernatural and myself… I have been so angry with the last episodes… but having seen the end… I kinda feel bad that I was like that. :D It was such an great episode…. :D I really KNEW that Ruby wasn't the one she pretended to be… though I didn't think THAT… but anyway… amazing…

Okay… well… I'm writing again :D

Friend or foe

"Sam get behind Dean." An angry voice shouted. Both boys and the older man turned to face John, though Dean immediately obeyed, showing his brother roughly behind him, not faking gentleness, he didn't feel right at the moment, still scared and angry… scared.

"Stay away from my boys!" John shouted, attacking the foreigner, who ducked quickly, avoiding the fist.

"NO" Dean shouted. "Dad… stop it." He didn't know for whose shake he wanted them to stop. On one hand he didn't trust this Nika-guy but on the other hand he had just saved Sammy… kinda and he was scared that the man could hurt his father, being fast and strong at the same time. The youth was simply ignored though.

But the man just smiled, being defensive, not offensive. "What do you want from my boys?" John asked, still angry, but at least he had stopped fighting, seeing that there was not much sense, no punch landing where it should.

"I don't want anything from these kids… I couldn't care less about them." Nika laughed.

"Who are you?" John eyed the man, his jaw working. He felt Dean beside him, but he didn't bothered to look down at him… he felt his kid tremble with rage. "What are you doing here?"

"None of your business" Nika smirked, but the look vanished, when John pointed his gun at him. "Don't even try killing me… it would be a waste of bullets."

"Who are you and what are you doing here…" John hissed. "Talk now."

"Make me" Nika titled his head.

When a shoot sounded, Dean hissed, wincing feeling Sam against his chest, who buried his face into his older brother's chest. He have never seen a dead man, yet and he really didn't want to.

"I've told you that you can't kill me…" The young man laughed again and when Dean lifted his head again, he was standing there… healthy and grinning. His father had unconsciously stepped back, right in front of his sons. "You know… I don't care whether you trust me or not… but I've been the one who saved your brats from the Satyolatos. I don't expect a "thanks" or flowers… but I don't think I have earned this treatment..." then he smirked evilly. "Or do you want to get rid of them…?"

"Don't you dare…" John started, but was interrupted by Dean.

"Okay… I get it… you're two are both tough…" Even Sam was startled by this outburst, but Dean was furious. He couldn't believe that after everything what happened, his father could still find the time to argue with a random guy. "…but honestly? I want to know what was after my little brother." He screamed.

John looked finally down at his son, Dean glaring back hard. The youth was pissed at his dad for nearly hitting his baby brother, but at least Dean was mad at them both.

"You hear him daddy" Nika mocked, smacking his lips together.

"You" Dean turned to the man. "Don't talk to my father like that…"

"Grow a little more that talk to me again… there is a size-limit for talking to me." Nika smiled. Dean lifted his eyebrows, while John balled his fists tightly and Sam looked startled.

"Okay… you don't wanna tell us who you are or what you are…" Dean rose his voice before John could say anything. "But you do know what this thing was?"

"Yeah"

"You bother to enlighten me?" John crossed his arms in front of his chest.

"What would be my profit?" Nika took a step to them.

"Nothing… the pleasure of helping someone? You bastard." John's voice was angry.

"Nah… I'm not really that sharing-caring type." Nika laughed. "But I'm gonna help you when you gonna answer me a question."

"What do you want?" John fiddled around with his gun, though he knew it didn't work… it felt good.

"Don't be so impolite." Nika smiled, but became serious again soon. "Anyway… I need to know where I am."

"What?" This guy was crazy. John shook his head. This couldn't be it… what happened here?

"Just answer the question." Nika ordered.

When John didn't answer it was Dean who spoke up again. "We're in Ohio… so who was this stupid son of a…"

"Dean" John grumbled.

"A Satyolatos." Nika suddenly said. "It's a Satyolatos." When Dean looked up at him again, the man looked down at him. He had something dignified. But he seemed kind of confused. "But…" he began, shutting up immediately.

"I've never heard something about a Satyolatos." John didn't believe the man.

"Believe me… I've never heard from Ohio before." The man shrugged. "So… I don't think this Sandman is a problem for you… since he is human and you can waste him… but if you wanna survive this Satyolatos… you have to stay with me."

"Why should we trust you? You don't even tell us who you are." John pieced the man with his eyes.

"Well… because since you are hunting the Sandman, you are the reason why the Satyolatos is here and your kid there is sleepwalking." Nika explained matter of factly. Dean glared at him, hugging Sam closer. The man rolled his eyes and continued: "This thing is dangerous and it's after you… I know it… the master wanted me to follow you, too."

"Which master?" John asked.

"You are curious, aren't you?" Nika mocked. "Well… I've offered it that I can join you… but I'm not gonna beg." He turned around.

"Dad, please… for once… swallow your damn pride." Dean begged. "We need every help."

"I wouldn't trust…"

"Dad…" Both boys said at the same time, though Sam still didn't look at his father, his eyes closed, while his forehead was still against Dean's chest. Dean moved his thumb over his little brother's neck.

"Okay… man… what's your name?" John asked louder, so Nika could hear him.

"Nika… I knew the boy wouldn't be as stupid as his dad." He grinned.

Dean smiled inwardly. He didn't mind having this guy with them. Perhaps he could help, or at least make John go so mad that he would call Bobby to get more information to end the hunt quicker. Because one thing was sure, as soon the job was over, Nika would vanish just like he came.
