Vi wasn't sure what she did or how she did it. It wasn't one of her power, and it doesn't make any sense for the past her to be able to obtain new powers that she herself didn't have. So, she decided that it had to have something to do with Vi being there. She told this to Dean and Sam, Sam accepted it, understanding that their powers could be melding due to having two of the same people in the same time. Dean on the other hand felt like she should have offered a better explanation, not liking the uncertainty. It didn't help that he was already frustrated with the future version of his daughter due to her unwillingness to share where his father was.
"So basically, you're saying that you don't have any idea what is going on?" Dean asked, looking through the rearview mirror.
"That sounds about right." She responded. "If I could explain everything that was going on, I would probably be able to send myself back home. Thanks to the lack of training I had growing up, I've had to learn about my powers through trial and error. This is as new for me as it is for you." She crossed her arms over her chest. "Are we finding a motel or not?"

Something about Violet getting into Vi's head made Vi a lot more careful about what she thought about and she made sure to build up her walls. The last thing she wanted was to endanger her future with her husband. The two of them didn't have the best of relations in the beginning and Vi fully believed that if she went into the relationship with the certainty of them being together in the end, then it would cause for even more trust issues between them when they first started exploring the more romantic side of life.
"This monster…if it's really the thing that killed mom…why couldn't Dad find it all this time if it was stuck in the house?" Sam asked, more to himself then anyone else. Dean nodded, thinking about it as well.
"Maybe it's been moving around and it's just moving in one big circle. Starting over with this family." Vi was having a hard time keeping her mouth shut. It wasn't like she enjoyed all of this, she wanted to help. But she couldn't unknowingly change something without knowing exactly the things that would be affected. If she did something that got her grandfather killed faster than it could change the way they that they dealt with the Demon. Then again if she saved her grandfather there's a possibility that he father wouldn't go to hell and it would stop the apocalypse all together. But at the same time, it could make everything happen a lot faster. Just thinking about it was giving her a major headache.
"Do you guy have any pain pills?" It was a stupid question considering they've always had pain meds, she just wasn't sure where they would be.
"Yeah." Sam dug around in his bag for a few moments and pulled out a bottle, tossing it to her. She popped a few back and downed them with a beer she stole from Dean. Dean watched her, looking up from his father's journal, concerned with her change in attitude. He didn't comment on it though. Vi started to think about how she was going to get back. She's spent to much time here as it is, she was kind of hoping that the future versions of her family were looking for her as well. Castel might not be at full power but Vi had faith that they would figure something out, because past Uncle Sam and her father were no where near as well versed in mythical world as they are in the future. They were still playing with the run of the mill monsters.
"Let's go talk to some of Dad's old friends here." Dean said. "Vi, you stay here with Violet."
"I think we'll go find a park or something." Vi responded, not liking the idea of being stuck in a motel room when she didn't have to be. Violet seemed to feel the same. Dean didn't like the idea of them going off by themselves but considering Vi has made it to the age she is, he trusted that she could take care of herself, at least her younger self.
"Fine." Dean moved over to his duffle bag, rummaging around inside before pulling a phone out and tossing it to Violet. "Here, we'll call you when we're done. Sam's number is already on there if you need something." Vi wrinkled her nose at it.
"What's wrong?"
"Is this a freaking Nokia?" She turned it over in her hands, before sighing. "I'm glad I was a kid when this crap came out." She stood, putting it into her jacket pocket.
"What wrong with the Nokia?" Dean asked defensively. "I've gotten thrown out windows with that in my pocket-"
"And it didn't break. I know." She pulled it back out and held it up. "This thing is so hard to break that it's a meme." Dean's face contorted into one of pure confusion.
"What the hell is a meme? It sounds like something you get a vaccine for." Vi tossed her had back and laughed.
"You'll find out in about ten years, give or take. We're going to leave now." She grabbed Violet's hand and moved out of the motel room. Dean turned to Sam when the door shut behind them.
"Meme? My phone is a meme?" He asked.
"I don't know dude." Sam shrugged. Dean mouthed the word again before shaking his head.

Vi started out looking for a park but soon the roads became familiar and she found herself going to the same place her grandfather took her when she was six. Violet seemed confused for a second before it dawned on her.
"Are we going to Missouri's." She asked.
"Is that okay with you?"
"Yeah. Dad's gonna be upset though, we told him that we were going to a park."
"I did say 'or something' though. He should have asked me to specify if he wanted to know for sure." Violet laughed. She liked the logic, deciding to save it for a later day.
"Is the future nice?" Violet asked after a few minutes of them silently walking. Vi thought about how she wanted to answer. She didn't want to worry her, but at the same time she didn't want to be completely blindsided.
"We have nice moments and we have bad ones. Its just about knowing that everything normally works out in a tolerable way." Vi said. Violet wasn't completely satisfied with that answer.
"Tolerable?"
"Well a little better than tolerable. We end up with a great husband….and a loving family." Again, Vi had the internal battle about what she was going to share with her younger self. "We've gotten to a pretty good place, we've just been working some stuff out." Violet nodded, liking that answer a lot better.
It didn't take them much longer to reach the house. Violet was excited, remembering just how nice Missouri had been to her and Vi wanted to see if she could help get her home. They didn't make it to the second step of the porch before the front door opened.
"What have we got here?" Missouri questioned, looking between the two girls. Vi sighed, not knowing where to begin. "Come inside, I'll see what I can do." Vi didn't question the older women, already knowing that her thoughts gave her away. Violet went inside first, hugging Missouri as she passed causing Missouri to smile. "I was wondering when you'd be coming back around here."
Missouri was quick to get them, something to drink and Violet was happily munching on some cookies. Vi drank her tea quietly, remembering the last time she was here. Vi hadn't realized how John had gone behind Dean's back until she was around 16 or so. Dean hadn't known about John taking her to Missouri and to the roadhouse that had been full of hunters. Dean had been pretty pissed when he found out, then again John had already been dead at that point.
"Tell me, how did you end up here?" Missouri sunk into her chair across from Vi.
"Little me got a summoned me and I don't know how to get home." Vi crossed her legs and leaned back into the couch.
Missouri sat down in a chair facing Vi. "So, you're telling me that this child here summoned you?" Missouri shook her head and glanced at Vi's hand. "That a ring? Looks like some things do happen after all. Although, he is not who I expected. Be careful little girl." Vi smiled.
"He's not anything to be scared of." Missouri smirked at Violet had been caught off guard at the statement.
"Well, I might have something that can get you home. I'm sure you have enough power to pull it off. I could feel you from a mile away." Vi chuckled. People were always surprised when they felt her coming and then saw her. They always seem to be expecting someone bigger, someone more powerful looking. It didn't how she felt to them through, people always underestimated her, and she almost always won. It's one of the reasons she's died less then the rest of her family.
"That would be great. I still have a few days left in Boca if we can get me back to roughly the same time I left." Violet didn't really like the idea of her older self going back. She liked having her around. Missouri stood back up and moved to somewhere else in the house.
"You're going back?"
"I'm trying to. I need to get back to my Uncle Sam and Dad." Vi said. "You will learn all about your powers throughout the years. You don't have anything to worry about." She reassured the younger girl, knowing that her worry had been why Vi got summoned in the first place. "It's just a matter of believing in yourself and your abilities. They will protect you and develop in their own time. You can't rush them, they are a part of you. Think of them like an extra limb." Violet nodded. "I'll stay for the end of this case though." Missouri came back with a notebook paper in hand, she passed it along to Vi.
"This otta work." She said, "if not than I can't be of much help." Vi smiled at her.
"This is more than we had before." Vi shrugged, before she could say anything else there was a knock on the door.
"I think that's your daddy." Missouri stood and Vi gave a Violet a knowing smile, knowing that Dean wasn't going to be happy when he saw them there. Violet looked scared, she didn't like it when Dean was upset with her.
"I thought you were at a park?" Dean questioned.
"I said 'or something." Dean wasn't amused.
"No, that's not what happened, you tell me where you are! What if something happened and I had to go looking for you? I wouldn't know where to start looking!"
"Nothing happened, not to mention I know how to protect myself." Vi explained softly.
"You might, but she can't. She is not old enough to be telling she's going somewhere and then going somewhere else!"
"She wasn't by herself." Vi reminded him, "I can tell you that I didn't start really going anywhere by myself until I was around 13." Vi said, leaving out the part that the reason she was mostly by herself was because Sam went to go play with some demons and Dean was in hell. Bobby wasn't nearly as protective as Dean and Sam, so she got a hell-of-a-lot more freedom.
"Leave those girls alone." Missouri exclaimed behind him, making him jump. "There just visiting and have every right to be."
"How did you even know about her?" Sam questioned Violet and Vi.
"Grandpa brought me here." Both of them responded at the same time.
"When the hell did that happen?" Dean asked, receiving a clap to the head from Missouri.
"Watch your mouth boy. Now sit down."

Dean was still upset about Vi not being honest with her on where they went but he pushed that to the back of his head. He had other things to worry about. Like how he was going to save this family.
He had been surprised when Jenny let them in again. He also hadn't wanted to bring Violet with them, if there was really something in this house, he didn't want his daughter anywhere near it. But he knew that Vi would refuse to stay behind and leaving Violet alone was worse in his mind. Last time he did that, she ended up almost being held captive by a crazy witch who thought he could raise her better than Dean.
"Daddy." Violet said, pulling on his hand. "It feels dark here."
"Yeah. I know." He wrapped an arm around her as they moved though the house. Vi on the other hand seemed pretty content. She had been expecting it like last time. This wasn't anything like some of the other things she's felt before. She could handle it; her powers were literally the opposite when concerning darkness. Her younger self needed to learn that, and she would.
"I don't know if you boys should be disappointed or relieved, but this ain't the thing that took your mom." Missouri said as she moved around the old bedroom.
"Are you sure?"
"It isn't the same energy I felt the last time I was here. It's somethin' different." Dean sighed, not knowing how he felt about it. Of course, he wanted to end the thing that ended his mother's life before he really got a chance to know her, before Sam even remember something about her. But at the same time, the thought of going up against it wasn't comforting, it was scary. Especially when he was holding onto his own daughter. The idea of leaving her to grow up without a father horrified him, she already didn't have a mother. For all he knew, she was killed by the same thing.
"What is it?" Dean asked.
"There's more then one thing here." Violet said. Missouri gave her a smile. Dean looked down at his daughter in question. "Something else is here to." She stepped away from her father. "It's not as scary." Violet could feel something far lighter. It was almost like it was chasing the bad thing away from her until it was around her completely. The energy almost felt familiar, but she couldn't place where she felt anything like it before.
Vi gave Violet a knowing smile, she too felt the energy along with its familiarity except she knew exactly where it originated from. Making her miss home even more.
