In the Beginning,AU

Motel-Present

It had been several days since they left Bobby's and dealt with the witnesses. Dean and Sam decided to go back on the road and look for a hunt. Bela had ridden with them for a couple hours until they reached a place she could get a car. After making a few calls and using a fake ID she'd gotten from Bobby she was able to buy one. Once she got back to her loft in Queens she would be able to get most of her things back in order. It had only been just over 4 months, and she had 2 more months before the loft would've been sold because of her absence. She'd set it up that way on purpose, just in case she survived her deal. She then stayed on the road, and unfortunately the only motel for miles was the one the Winchesters were at. How she couldn't stand all these small towns in a row.

"Following us?" Dean said, seeing her in the hallway. He and Sam had been there for a few hours already.

"No. They really need better hotels in these God forsaken towns."

"Oh please, stop being a whiny princess and suck it up."

She just shook her head. Should've kept driving.

"Have a good night Dean." She said, faking sweetness.

"Likewise." He said, mocking her tone.

She walked into the room two doors down from theirs and shut the door hard. She really wanted a nice hot bath, but she was most definitely not doing that here. Bela settled for a hot very brief shower instead.

lllllllllllllllllllllllll

Dean & Sam's room.

Sam waited until Dean fell asleep and then quietly left the room, meeting Ruby in the parking lot.

Dean continued to sleep, but it wasn't peaceful.

Dean tosses and turns as he is seeing flashes from hell. He sees his own face, feels the burn and hears screams surrounding him.

Bela's Room

Bela too is tossing and turning. Dean wasn't the only one who slept with a gun under the bed and alcohol close by. Beyond the flashes of blood and pain she could see a few demons' faces as well, and was remembering how they tortured her. The last thing she sees in her dream though is Dean's face in front of her. She's not sure what that means exactly, but it scares her.

lllllllllllllll

Dean & Sam's Room

Dean awakens, or thinks he does anyways, to find Castiel sitting next to him. Dean jumps a little.

"Hello Dean, what were you dreaming about?"

"What the hell are you doing? What do you want?" Dean asked.

"You have to stop it." Castiel said.

"Stop what?" Dean asked, but Castiel had already touched Dean's forward and Dean seems to disappear from the room.

Past-1973

Dean awakens on a bench, clearly uncomfortable. He then gets yelled at by a police officer walking by telling him he can't sleep there. What was going on?

He pulled out his phone, but had no reception. As he turned around trying to find signal somewhere, he noticed her walking towards him.

Bela stalked towards Dean. She'd went to sleep on the lumpy motel bed only to awaken in an old abandoned car on the same street as Dean. She was pretty sure she was supposed to be heading home already. What on earth had Dean done?

"What the hell is going on?" she asked him.

"You think I know? One second I was waking up in bed and saw Castiel next to me and he said weird shit, the next thing I know I wake up on this bench."

"Wait, the angel did this? Where are we?"

"I don't know."

Dean looked over to a small diner. He got up and headed towards it, Bela followed. They walked into the diner and sat down at the bar.

"Hey." Dean asked the young dark headed man next to him."Where am I?"

Bela sighed.

"Jay Birds Diner."

"Yeah, got that…I mean city and state?"

Really? She thought. That sounded even worse.

"Lawrence Kansas." He answered.

"Lawrence…" Dean said slowly.

Bela gave him a weird look.

"You two alright?" The man asked.

"Yeah, yeah…tough night." Dean answered.

"Hey can we get two more coffees over here." The young man asked the waiter. The man felt bad for them, they looked troubled.

Dean pulls his phone back out.

"What are you doing?" Bela whispered.

"Going to try calling Sam. No reception though. What about you?"

"Don't have mine." She said. Dean just then took in her appearance. Castiel obviously plucked her from sleep as well. She still had on her fitted Jeans and sweater, but her leather jacket was gone and the sweater had wrinkles. Hell, she looked like she could've used another 5 hours of sleep.

Dean turned to the guy who bought the coffee.

"Hey, you know where I can find reception on this?"

The guy looked confused, and looked at the phone.

"Uh the USS Enterprise?" he told Dean. Dean was now the one confused. Bela was starting to get a strange feeling that they weren't just in some small town. Dean notices the clothes the waiter is wearing, and looks around the diner as well.

"Okay, you get the feeling something's off about this?"

Bela nodded.

As the door rings an older gentlemen walks into the diner and walks up to the man sitting next to Dean.

"Hey Winchester."

Bela and Dean look up quickly. Dean had no idea who he was or why the old man was calling his name…but the older gentlemen wasn't looking at Dean. He was looking at the dark haired young man next to Dean.

"Son of a bitch, how are you doing Corporal?" The old man asked the young one.

"Hey Mr. Dee. I'm good."

"Heard you were back."

"Yeah, for a while now." The young man said.

"Good to have you home John."

"Thanks."

Dean thought for a second…Winchester, and then John. He gave John a good look over and realized it was true.

"Dad." Dean whispered, not loud enough for John to hear him but Bela did.

So that was the well known John Winchester? Wait, he was dead…and this guy most certainly wasn't old enough to be Dean's father. Bela thought.

Bela looked at Dean. They had the same thought, they couldn't be n the present time. What year was it?

Dean was staring at John.

"Do we know each other?" John asked him.

"Ugh no, guess not." Dean said awkwardly.

"Well take it easy." John said.

"Yeah, thanks."

John got up and left and Dean slowly stood.

"What are you doing?" Bela asked him.

"Following him."

"Why?"

"Why not? He's my dad, and this is not 2008."

"So, when are we then?" Bela asked. "That sounds extremely weird."

"No idea." Dean answered. "Come on." Dean ordered her, and they left to follow John.

lllllllllllllllllllllllllll

Dean and Bela turned a corner to find Castiel. They stopped quickly, nearly bumping into one another.

"What is this?" Dean asked.

"What does it look like?" Castiel asked back.

"Not our time." Bela said.

"Is this real?" Dean asked.

"Yes, very."

"Okay, so what, angels get their hands on some delorians?

Castiel ignored Dean's reference since he didn't really understand it anyways.

"Time is fluid, on occasion we can bend it."

Dean sighed. Bela stood with arms crossed.

"What are we doing here?" Dean asked.

"I told you, you have to stop it." Castiel said.

"Stop what? Is something bad after my dad?" Dean asked.

However, Castiel had disappeared.

"Seriously, is he allergic to giving us straight answers?"

"Here I was hoping I'd be getting home soon. Why'd he send me back here with you, it's your family."

"Hey I didn't ask for this either, and I sure as hell don't need your help."

"Whatever." Bela remarked, walking ahead.

lllllllllllllllllll

They then spotted John Winchester at a local car dealership. Bela made a move to go over to him but Dean stopped her.

"Wait here." He said. She glared at him. "Seriously, something I can do is cars. I'll get him to talk."

"Yeah whatever Dean." She said, and sat down on the bench outside the dealership. "Just hurry."

Dean walked straight up to John and started a conversation with him. Bela stayed put and tried to rest, but she couldn't. Her head hurt and sitting on a hard bench wasn't exactly comfortable.

llllllllllllllllllllll

Dean and Bela pulled up behind John in the impala. They were in a random old car trying to stay unnoticed.

They both watched as John got out of the car and met up with a young blonde woman who'd came from the house he parked in front of.

"What's that?" the girl asked.

"My car."

Dean smirked.

"Dean, tell me you did not have something to do with your father buying your future car?"

"Well I'm sure he would've done it anyways…obviously."

She rolled her eyes. "Right…unless this happened first. Ugh this time travel is horribly confusing."

Dean nodded.

"What happened to the van?"

"Mary, this is way better than the van."

"Mom." Dean whispered. She was so young looking. He smiled.

"That's your mother?" Bela asked.

Dean nodded.

He watched as Mary got into the car with John and went to another diner. They were sitting there drinking milkshakes. Dean got out of the stolen car and watched them, Bela followed.

"What are you doing?"

"Keeping an eye on them."

"Great. We look like stalkers."

Dean just sighed.

"Sammy…mom's a babe." Dean whispered, he hadn't really meant to say it out loud.

"Men." Bela huffed.

"And I'm going to hell….again."

"Most likely." She replied.

lllllllllllllllll

Dean turned back to looking into the window. Mary was gone.

"Ugh, where'd she go?" Dean asked.

Bela heard something behind her and moved over some, she was about to say something in reply to Dean but didn't have a chance. Mary was right behind Dean.

"Why are you following us?" Mary asked, her face was harsh.

Whoa…good instincts. Bela thought.

Dean whipped around to face her but Mary had rushed towards him and kneed him in the stomach. She pushes him backwards. Bela doesn't know whether to help Dean or just watch….but she was rather enjoying watching Dean get his asked kicked by a girl, and even better his own mother.

"Are you crazy?" Dean asked, stepping away from Mary as she tried to punch him.

She landed a punch into his stomach. "You guys have been following us since we left my house."

She was good.

"I don't know what you're talking about." Dean tried.

"Yeah right."

Dean finally had the advantage over her and turned her to face the wall and held her against it.

"How about talking this out?" Dean asked.

"Get off me." She yelled.

Bela walked over to them.

Mary fought against Dean when he noticed her bracelet. It had protective charms on it.

"You're a hunter?" Dean asked, shocked.

Dean released his mother. Bela stared. What? Now that was unexpected.
