"I'm not getting on any damn airplane, Sam!" Dean yelled, staring sickly at the schedule on the board. They should have boarded their flight already, but Dean was having, well, second-thoughts.
"We have to get on a plane, Dean! To catch this thing, it rides planes. That means we have to ride it, too."
Dean looked glumly. Shuffled his feet and clenched and unclenched his fists.
"But why did it have to be an airplane? Man, why can't we take a train or just drive? Couldn't it have been like a Bullet Train Demon? Or The Highway Demon? You know, like the chick we took out a month. Remember her?"
Dean was rambling. Sam knew, by heart, that when his big brother rambled, he was anxious or afraid. Suddenly Dean closed his eyes, wiped a hand down the front of his face, licked his lips and began humming.
Sam stared at him, cocking an eyebrow high on his forehead.
"What are you humming?"
"Nothing Else Matters. It'll calm me down."
Sam rolled his eyes and just said, "Come on."
