Dean sat across from CC. He stared at her, not able to get the image from his mind. On his little brother's computer screen was a generated picture of CC. It didn't look exactly like her, but there was no denying the fact that it was her. Bobby almost passed out from the news, shocked about the news. Sam and Dean never knew they had a sister until a few days ago and then they were told she was no longer alive. And now they were here, sitting next to her. Dean felt like he needed to cut to the chase.
"We know who you are." Her eyes grew wide and she grew scared. Dean could sense her alarm. But as immediately as her emotions came, they were gone. She sat up straight and her face was blank.
"I don't know what you're talking about." Her voice was level and she looked calm, but Dean could see the sense of alarm in her. He knew this look with Sam. Bobby spoke up then.
"Babydoll, they know. Drop the act." Dean sent a look towards Bobby. He had never heard Bobby talk that gingerly to anyone. Dean saw Sam walk up and pull up a chair next to her. He placed a hand on her shoulder.
"CC, what is your real name?" Sam's voice wavered slightly. She looked at Bobby who was staring with her. Dean saw the disappointment in his eyes. Why was he disappointed?
"Uncle Bobby." Tears fell down her face as she jumped to her feet and wrapped her arms around Bobby's neck. Sam patted Dean's shoulder and gave him the "let's leave them be" face. Dean quietly got to his feet and followed Sam out of the room. They went outside where Dean leaned against the Impala. Sam stood back and crossed his arms. Dean ran his hand across his face. Sam let out a heavy sigh. He opened his mouth to say something, but closed it when something crashed behind them. Sam and Dean immediately got ready to fight. They both saw a large shadow spill out from behind a stack of cars and Dean pulled out his pistol. Sam grabbed his demon knife and both brother began to stalk whatever was hiding behind the stack of cars. All of a sudden, they both heard a whip of wind along with a thud and both turned around.
"Hello." It was Castiel, their anti-conversable angel. Dean put his gun away as he walked up to his buddy. Sam gave a defeated look toward the cars before putting away the demon blade.
"What are you doing here, Cas?" Dean asked, using the nickname for the angel.
"I came to tell you-" He was cut off by Bobby.
"Boys, come back in. There is something we need to talk about." Dean guessed he didn't realize Cas was there. They all walked in, CC cringing at the sight of the angel. She looked toward Bobby with fear in her eyes and gripped him.
"Have you never come in contact with an angel before?" Dean asked her, amused that she finds Cas threatening. She relaxed slightly but did not loosen her hold on Bobby. Cas looks at the boys.
"Who is this?" He asked them, curiosity in his voice. Sam look at Cas like a lost puppy dog.
"I thought you knew everything Cas?" Sam questioned the angel, sending a curious look toward him. Cas ignored Sam and studied the girl whose eyes were now narrowed. She had quickly calmed down and was giving Castiel a stink eye when he looked at the Winchesters.
"She is your sister." He said. Dean rolled his eyes and snorted.
"Yeah, thank you Captain Obvious." Cas looked at Dean with confusion on his face.
"I am Castiel." Dean shook his head and ignored the comment Cas made.
"What the hell are you talking about?" CC jumped up and put her hands on her hips. Cas turned and smiled at both Winchester boys in return.
"She does not know." His smiled faded. "Did I, as you say, 'kill it'?" Dean stared hard at CC who was now looking from one Winchester to the other and finally stopped her eyes on Bobby. He looked away from her and she dropped her guard. Cas walked up to her and was about to say something when he disappeared in thin air. CC jumped back in shock.
"What happened?" She asked, look at Dean.
"Why are you looking at me?" Dean asked her. She shrugged.
"I dunno… it just seems like you and him have like a stronger bond or something." Sam snickered at this comment when there was a knock at the door. Suddenly the lights began to flicker. Cas appeared again right behind CC with blood seeping through a few cuts on his face. He was grimacing in pain and clutching a wound on his right side. Dean immediately rushed to his friend to help him from falling over. CC walked over to his other before Sam had a chance.
"Don't open the door." Cas choked out. "Come with me." His a flash, Dean and CC were standing in a hotel. Just as they realized they weren't at Bobby's Cas was gone again. CC looked at Dean with fear in her eyes.
"Don't worry, we will be fine." Dean assured her.
"It's not us I'm worried about!" She began to pace after Cas didn't show up for five minutes. Dean was worried as well, but sat on the bed. He had to remain strong for his younger sibling. CC looked at Dean.
"Sweetheart, you might as well sit down, they won't-" a whip of wind and a thud interrupted him as Cas showed up with Bobby and Sam. They were all slightly beaten, Cas the worst.
"I need to-" Cas fell right then. If it wasn't for Sam and Bobby, he would be on his face. Bobby looked pretty worn as he and Sam laid Castiel on a bed. Dean was on his feet next to Bobby when he began to sway on his feet. Dean helped him to the other bed. Just as he laid down, his eyes closed and he was passed out. CC stared at the brothers-well, her brothers as she now realized.
"So… you're my brothers?" She asked. Dean nodded and offered her to sit down. She reluctantly sat as the others did the same.
"You're name is Crystal Shay Winchester right?" Sam asked her, making sure. Dean noticed her slight hesitation. She nodded.
"Great. That's Dean…. I'm Sam… Do you have any questions?" He asked her. Dean had the feeling that this was going to be a long night.
