Pitch Forks Away.
We Were Mad Crazy Busy With Finals.
Me With Work On Top Of It.
So Here You Go.
The Saving Of Ace.
Jinx's head was killing her; this just wasn't 'I got drunk last night' this was, someone hit me upside the head with something. She slowly opened her eyes, then closed them when the light hit them. In that split second they were open, she saw the fire extinguisher laying on the ground. "That would do it." She mumbled as Dean ran in, nearly tripping over her.
He was on his knees in seconds, checking her. "Jinx, Jinx come on, open your eyes."
"If you keep shakin me I am going to kill you."
"How many fingers?" he asked, holding up his hand; she groaned.
"How did you know-"
"Sam had a vision." He said flatly, trying to hide his emotions.
"It was, Ansem, he-"
"We know. He's Andy's twin."
"Mmm." Jinx was starting to fade out again when Dean slapped her.
"Dean don't hit her."
"She has a concussion Sam, she cant go to sleep."
"Why isn't Ace smackin me?" The room went quiet. "Where is Ace?" More silence. "He, he took her?" She watched Dean nod; she was suddenly very awake. "I don't fucking think so."
Jinx stood quickly, too quickly and almost fell over, but Sam caught her. "What did you see?" When he looked away, she knew it was bad. "What did you see Sam?"
"Ace slitting her wrists." Jinx's heart stopped beating, she stopped breathing.
Ace was not going to die. This was not happening. "Did you get a location?"
"Jinx I don't think-"
"Did you get a location or not Sam?"
"The falls."
"What are we still doing here?" she asked as she pulled away from him, moving quickly as she tried not to fall over.
"Jinx you're in no condition-"
"Don't you even fucking say it Dean. Ace is mine and nothing is going to happen to her, do you understand?"
"Yeah but-"
"Good, lets go." She said as she headed out the door, the others had no choice but to follow her out.
Dean stared at her as she stood next to the impala. "I'm not suicidal. I'm not drivin, so you better be breaking every damn law to get us there now."
"Yes ma'am." He said as they all got in the car. Jinx stared out the window as Andy looked at her.
"I'm sorry."
"You didn't know he was your brother. You didn't know he was crazy."
"But this, its all-"
"No, its not. Its ours for not finding this sooner." Jinx looked at him. "Just be ready to back up us. You two have the same power, meaning you can use it against him. Sam doesn't have an active power like you do, and Dean isn't immune. Its up to you Andy, can you do it?"
"I don't know." Jinx nodded; that was going to have to be good enough, pushing him wouldn't help any. She didn't know what she was going to do if she lost Ace too.

Ace was scared out of her mind. She listened as Tracey cried in the front seat. She looked around and saw that they were at the falls. She closed her eyes and tried to calm herself. She knew she wouldn't be able to save them if she fell apart like Tracey.
"Please, I just want to go home," Tracey cried.
"Tracey, stop crying. Look Ace isn't crying. Stop crying," Ansem ordered her.
Ace itched to have her hands around his neck. He turned handing her a knife. She recognized it as Dean's. She just looked at him.
"I want you to take the knife and slit your wrist," he told her.
Ace tried to stop herself but couldn't. Her right hand reached out and grabbed the knife. She pressed it against the flesh of her wrist and cut. She bit her lip refusing to cry out. She watched as the blood flowed down her arm.
"That's good for now," he told her.
Ace still held the knife and watched as the blood pooled on her lap. She felt tears rolling down her cheeks. It brought her back to the night when she had lost the one thing that she didn't know she wanted. She closed her eyes and tried to fight Ansem's control.
Dean drove up to the falls. He climbed out of the car. Jinx followed and immediately went around to the trunk. Dean and Sam followed her. She looked at them.
"Jinx, maybe you should stay here. You have-," Sam started.
"Ace is my family, Sam. She has stood by me and supported me thought things that... I am not going to leave her hanging out there," Jinx said trying to hold back the tears. She let the anger take over.
"We'll get her back Jinx. So, We go in-," Dean started opening the trunk of the impala.
"Andy, Sam and I are going in. Dean, you... You can't."
"Excuse me? And why the hell not?"
"Because you aren't immune. It is bad enough we have to worry about Ace. We can't be worrying about you too."
Dean looked at Sam. Sam looked at Dean. He knew Jinx had a point but... Dammit, Ace was in trouble. He watched as Jinx grabbed the sniper rifle and handed it to Dean. Dean took it.
"If you get the shot-," Jinx started.
"Oh, don't worry. He is going down. He messed with the wrong guy's priss," Dean answered.
"I knew you too would warm up to each other."
Andy climbed out of the impala and walked over to them. He looked at Jinx. She nodded and handed him a gun. Sam looked at him.
"Andy-," he started.
"I have to. He has Tracey and... Your friend. Neither of them deserved this," Andy said.
Jinx slammed the hood of the impala down. She looked at the three men around her.
"Ready?" she asked. They all nodded. They walked off.
I'm coming, Acey, Jinx thought.
Ace leaned back on the seat and tried to open her eyes. Her legs and arm were slick with blood. She heard the passenger door open and watched as Tracey climbed out in just her slip. She turned and saw that Ansem was looking at her.
"Once I am done with Tracey, you are next," he said.
"Go to hell, you ugly son of a bitch," she said smiling.
Ansem leaned forward. He smiled and Ace.
"You'll get there first."
Ace wished she could move her body. She would kick that smug smile right off of his face. She closed her eyes and tried to stay calm. Jinx would come for her. She had to believe that. Jinx would come. Ace just prayed she wouldn't be too late.

When they saw the car a few feet from them, Jinx nodded to Sam. He didn't want her to do this himself, but he knew there was no telling her otherwise. As Sam and Andy moved on, Jinx ran to the car to check it; Ace was sitting there, covered in blood. Ace looked up at her. "Jinx?" She nearly ripped the door off its hinges as she opened it and climbed in.
Ace finally let the tears she had been holding back roll down her cheeks. "Its okay baby, I got you. I got you." Jinx looked at her wrist and took the knife, tossing it out the door before turning back to her. "Look, its not even that bad."
"You suck at lying."
"That's a shame, cause I'm usually pretty good at it." Jinx said, trying to make Ace laugh, and it worked.
"I feel so tired."
"Well, you're not allowed to go to sleep yet." She said as she took her tee shirt off, wrapping it tightly around her wrist. Ace jerked back in pain. "I know it hurts, but I gotta do this."
Ace stared down at the tee shirt as the blood started seep through. "This is your favorite tee shirt."
Jinx smiled, hiding her own panic. "You can just buy me a new one."
"Okay."
Jinx looked at the front seat, but the keys weren't there. "Fuck." She didn't know if she was going to make it back to the impala, not with the continuous pounding in her head while carrying the weakening Ace.
"You trust me right?" she asked, watching as Ace's eyes started to drop. She laid a small smack to her cheek. "Acey, come on, stay with me."
"I'm here."
"Good." Ace looked at her, her vision starting to blur.
"Your face is turning purple, why is it turning purple?"
"Its just a bruise."
"He hit you?"
"Ace I need you to-"
"I'm going to fucking kill him."
"Well the boys are taking care of that."
Ace made a face at her. "I wanna hit him."
"Okay, we'll do that later, but for now, I need to hot wire this thing, okay?"
Ace nodded. "Okay."
Jinx quickly slid into the front seat and ripped the steering cover off. "How did you-"
"Shh. I need to concentrate."
Once the car jumped to life, Jinx held her hand out to Ace. "I want you to squeeze my hand very ten seconds, okay?"
"Why?" She whined as Jinx looked at her sternly. "Ace Nirvana, you do as I say. Squeeze." Ace obeyed and squeezed her hand. "Good, now keep doing that as I get us out of here."
Jinx drove the car one handed, going in reverse. That was till a shot killed the engine. "Damn it Dean." She muttered as Ace squeezed her hand again, giggling. "I like him."
"I know you do." Jinx said as she looked around, trying to figure out how far they were from the impala. Another shot rang through the area, then everything was silent. She knew Ansem was dead.
"You okay back there?"
"I'm seeing stars."
"Yeah, that's not good." She muttered as she pulled out her cell and dialed Dean. "Get down here now, she's lost a lot of blood. She's going to need a transfusion for sure." When Jinx hung up, she crawled in the back to Ace.
"I love you Jinxy."
"I love you too."
"Thanks for coming for me." Jinx kissed the top of her head. "You know I am the only one allowed to kill you, and he SO did not have my permission." Ace laughed, then let the tears flow again. "I was so scared."
"I know, so I was." Jinx sat there, holding Ace in her hands, wondering what was taking Dean and Sam so long.

Sam looked at Andy holding the gun over Ansem's body. He walked over and took the gun. Andy looked at him.
"I had too," Andy said.
"I know, Andy. You need to call the cops," Sam said going back to the car.
Jinx looked up at him. Sam saw her tears. And the fact that the shirt Jinx had used to wrap the cut was soaked though. He yanked off his jacket and handed it to her. She wrapped it around Ace's wrist.
"Ow," Ace moaned barely moving.
"I know, Acey. Stay awake. Sam is here. Don't you want to yell at him for making my heart hurt," Jinx said grasping at anything.
"Sam... Make her happy," Ace said trying to get her eyes to focus.
"Ace, you aren't going to die. Stop it."
Dean pulled the impala up behind the car. He climbed out and race over. He saw the look on Sam's face. He leaned down and looked in the car. He sucked in a breath. There was too much blood. He looked at Jinx and Ace.
"Sweetheart, come on, let's get you to a hospital," he said holding out his arms to Jinx.
"I got her," Jinx said.
"Jinx, I won't hurt her. I promise."
Jinx looked at Dean and nodded. She slowly handed Ace over. Dean held Ace close to him. He felt her rest her head against his chest. She barely moved or made a sound.
"Priss, wake up. Come on, wake up and show me those beautiful green eyes," he said lying on purpose.
"They're violet," Ace muttered.
"Dean, the keys?" Jinx asked.
"They'll still in the there. Sammy-."
"I'll stay here with Andy. Get the story right for the cops. Go."
Dean nodded. He carried Ace over to the impala and climbed in. Jinx got behind the wheel. He looked at her as she slammed down on the accelerator.
"Jinx, are you okay to drive?" he asked.
"Yes. Keep her awake Dean. I am not going to let her die."
"Neither am I."
"My heroes," Ace murmured.
"Ace, stay awake. Please, you got to fight this," Dean said rubbing her back not caring that blood was soaking into his clothes and getting all over the impala.
"I'm sorry... Ruining the upholstery," she said slowly opening her eyes and looking at him.
"I don't care about that. Not now."
"But... she's your baby."
Ace was feeling so tired. She felt Dean take her hand and squeeze it to get her attention when she closed her eyes. She opened them and saw him looking at her. She reached up and placed a hand on his cheek. She was so weak. She gave him a soft smile.
"You're a good guy. Be happy," she said feeling so weak.
"Ace, stay awake. Ace?" Dean said watching as Ace's eyes closed. He shook her but nothing. He checked her pulse. He looked at Jinx.
"Jinx," he said with a calm he did not feel.
"What?"
"Drive faster."

Sam walked into the hospital. He walked into he waiting room. It was mid morning and everyone looked cheerful. Except for Jinx and Dean who were sitting in a corner of the room. They were both still covered in blood. Sam walked over to them.
"How is she?" Sam asked sitting across from them.
"They..." Jinx trailed off her throat closing. She let more tears fall.
"They gave her a transfusion and.. Now, they are just waiting and monitoring her," Dean said looking at the floor.
"Has she woken up?"
"No but they say that's normal because of the amount of blood she lost."
"Are we allowed to see her?"
"No."
"Give me a couple of minutes."
Dean looked up as Sam walked over to the nurse's station. He had no clue what Sam was going to try and do. He had asked five times and they still wouldn't let him or Jinx in to see Ace.
See? Everything Is Going To Be Okay.
Even Better If You Review.
I Put Out Faster.
And We All Want That.
