"Bye then guys. We'll probably see each other soon enough, you can't go long without a hacker. Take care of these bitches for me Mel." Charlie says, as she's on her way out of the bunker.
"Of course I will, wouldn't want them to get themselves killed, right?" Melody answers.
"Awesome. Peace out, bitches." And then she closes the door.
"She was awesome." Adam says, staring at the door.
"Yep, but you're not her type, believe me." Dean says.
"Should we find something else to hunt? I'm starting to get bored, almost." He continues.
"I think I've already found something." Sam says. Dean looks at him, showing that he should continue.
"It's been a few, or a lot, smaller disasters in different places in Colorado lately, like houses torn apart in hurricanes, floods and a whole bunch of those, plus a lot of diseases. I think we should check it out." Dean nods, approving.
"Maybe some demon has gone mad? I mean… it wouldn't be the first. Any pattern in where it happens?"
"Nope. Seem like it just goes and destroys wherever it feel like at the moment."
"That is NOT normal demon-behavior. Maybe it's something else… but it will be hard to catch whatever it is. We should get going." They pack the stuff they think they might need, and leaves. They all have a really long discussion, Cas included, about Dean's music. They discuss it for hours. Dean thinks all music that isn't classic rock is crap and not necessary, Cas agrees with him, probably because it would be an unfair argument otherwise, Adam and Sam thinks the classic rock is awesome, but thinks Dean could try to listen to something new, and Melody doesn't even know.
"I listened to one new song recently, when we went to hunt that bear. That… Angel With A Shotgun, or whatever it was called." Dean says.
"And you liked it! You said it yourself. Try some of the new rock bands at least. Mel does have a few songs by some of them. It's still rock, Dean!" Sam argues.
"Fine! But don't expect me to love it. I'll give them a fair try, but nothing is better than AC/DC or Metallica!" Dean surrenders, tired after a few hours arguing. Melody takes out her phone, starts her speaker to it and starts looking for some of the new bands.
"We'll start with the ones I've just got one or two songs with." She says, more to herself than to them. And soon they're quiet, listening to Halestorm. Dean seems to think it's okay. Soon they're listening to the bands that Melody has quite a few songs by, like Nickelback, Evanescence and Within Temptation. Dean doesn't seem to unlike the other two, but Nickelback is definitely his favorite of those three.
"We're on the last one. Sabaton. My personal favorite. They're from Sweden or one of those countries, I don't really remember. They're more… metal, but still really good." Then Melody shuts up and starts listening. Dean looks like he doesn't like it at first, but soon he looks like he's starting to like it. Adam and Sam, who sits at her right and left, looks at her, and Sam look really impressed. Even Cas turns around to give her a look, as if to say "Good work." But not wanting to distract Dean from the music. Melody does a small "winning-dance" then they're quiet and still again.
"Well… it wasn't bad. Nickelback was the best, but I liked the others too. Good work, Mel." Dean says, when the music stops. Sam starts to applause, and Melody looks proud. To reward him, they let Dean choose the music for the rest of the ride to Colorado.
"Cas, any idea what we're dealing with and where it's gonna strike next?" Dean asks over the sound of Iron Maiden.
"I have no idea. I can fly and check if you want to. It won't take long." Cas says, looking at Dean.
"No, stay here. We'll figure it out in some motel. You can fly and take a little look when we've tried." Then they're quiet.
"Found anything?" Sam asks, coming out of the shower in the motel they're staying at.
"Nope. No visible pattern, nothing special about it, nada." Melody replies, staring at the screen of the laptop.
"Adam, found any monsters that could cause this, if we don't count demons?" Sam asks, turning to his brother.
"Yup… There's a lot that causes either storms and stuff or diseases, but not so many that causes both. And the most possible one is a monster from legends from Japan. It's called an Oni and it's some kind of giant… sprit. They're apparently enormous, like five times a normal man, invisible, can cause both disease and disasters, as long as it causes trouble for humans. It's either that, or a demon."
"Great! Any way to kill it?"
"Not that I've found. But soybeans blinds it."
"Awesome. Then we know what it is, hopefully. Now we just need to find it."
"Think I know where to start." Dean says, pointing at the TV. "Lakewood. The biggest storm in many years is coming."
"Great. Not too far, and it's a lot of humans for it to cause trouble for. We better get going then." Melody says quick. Soon they're on their way again.
"Cas, do you know any way for us to see it?" Adam asks.
"No, not really. I can see it, and I can try to come up with something, but I can't think of anything right now. But I think you'll be able to hear it whistle while it… works."
"Great. I've got a feeling this is getting us killed." Adam sighs.
"Oh shut up. We've dealt with worse stuff than this. Me and Sam has killed shadows, or Daevas, gods and other stuff, this will be easy. And we're five to kill just one thing." It doesn't take long until they're there. They find a motel, and then Adam goes shopping for a lot of soybeans, from different stores to get a lot of them, without it being weird.
"So… how should we kill it then?" he asks when he returns.
"Well… I was thinking, maybe we could make some small bombs of soybeans, salt and fire? It's still a spirit right, so salt and fire should do some good?" Melody asks, a bit unsecure.
"Melody… you're a bloody genius sometimes!" Dean yells, and kisses her forehead. Melody smiles shyly.
"We'll try the princess' plan, it won't hurt." He continues, starting to make the bombs. The others join him while waiting for the storm to start. They're just done when they hear thunder and see a lightning. They grab their jackets, one backpack each with bombs, some small bags of soybeans, knifes of silver and iron, and finally some guns with bullets of silver and iron, plus some salt. Cas flies away to look for the Oni, and they run towards the place where the clouds are the darkest. Soon the wind is gaining strength and they can barley run. Right after that the rain starts falling. Cas returns, pointing at what looks like a big factory.
"It's in there. I know a way that may possibly make you able to see it. I can try to paint it, just a little bit. You should be able to see the paint then." And he's gone. They keep running, more focused than before. When they arrive they can see a walking collection of "x", whistling. Cas arrives at their side.
"I marked his back, chest, arms, hands, neck, face and feet. His eye is right above the marking in his face. And I should warn you, he's got horns." They nods, and start sneaking up behind it without it noticing. They set fire to one bomb each and throw at the spirit. It screams in pain, turning its head towards them. Sam throws one of his bags of soybeans right at the marking that should be his face. Melody sees one of the hands coming towards her, and before she's got any time to think, she's lifted up in the air.
"Melody!" Sam screams. The grip around her is really tight, but she manages to grab one of her knifes, and sabs what looks like just air, but she is falling towards the ground because the Oni let go. She screams when she realizes that it's about four or five meters to the ground, and she's going to land on her back or neck, and she won't survive the fall. Suddenly she is just above the ground, carried by Cas. He puts her down carefully.
"Thanks, Cas." She says, trying to catch her breath. He goes to attack at the monster again. Sam hugs her quickly, then puts her behind him, trying to protect her from being picked up again. She frowns and keeps throwing burning bombs at the Oni from behind Sam's back. It's soon on fire from all the bombs. The screams are horrible, but they stay until they're sure it's gone. The storm is over exactly the same moment the screams stop.
"Did we… kill it?" Melody asks, looking at Cas.
"I think we did." He replies.
"Awesome!" Dean says. "We should go get some dry clothes now. And some sleep." He continues. They walks slowly back to the motel, changes clothes and watches a movie before they go to bed.
When they're back in the bunker, Sam and Melody walks right to Sam's room, which they now share. Sam sits on the bed, looking at Melody.
"What do you say about becoming a Winchester for real?" he asks.
"Are you asking what I think you're asking?"
"Oh, yeah, seems like that." He answers, smirking.
"Then… yes, that would be fantastic!" Melody says, hugging him. He pulls out two rings and places one on her left ring finger, and one on his.
"Melody Winchester… yes. That sounds good." He says quietly, smiling.
