-London; Wellington Arch (Dean, & Sam)
"What are we doing, Dean?" Sam asked as he and his brother walked down the path of crowded people.
"What do you mean 'what are we doing,' Sammy. We're working this case," Dean replied looking at his brother sideways.
"Yeah, but, what about Cas and Mattie?" Sam said watching his brother carefully. Dean's expression changed and he nodded understanding what his brother meant. "We just agreed to go with this, Doctor, guy while they're still missing. Shouldn't we, I don't know, look for them?" He continued to ask his brother in a cautious manner.
Dean nodded and stopped walking for a moment. "Sam, you heard what this guy said." He began to say.
"Yeah, but can we even trust him?" Sam shot back staring at Dean his eyes questioning his brother. "He's got a flying blue police box and just took off without a word." Sam stated. Dean narrowed his eyes at his brother as he listened and took in what Sam was saying. "For all we know he could be working with these angel statue things."
Dean stood still thinking over what Sam said for a few moments before he nodded. "You're right," he declared and looked up into Sam's eyes, "but there isn't much we can do, but trust this Doctor. We don't know where Cas or Mattie went. Our only option is to stick around, till hopefully they turn up." Dean said.
Sam nodded staring at his brother and they began to walk towards the arch again. "Do you believe him then?" Sam asked glancing at him sideways.
"About?"
"The angel statues, what they can do." Sam replied watching his brother carefully but Dean was skilled at giving away no sign of emotional reaction on to his face. "That they sent Mattie back."
Dean stopped walking again and looked at Sam, "look Sammy, I have no idea what's going on here. There's a man with a box that transported us across London in no less than a couple of minutes. There are statues that are said to be making people disappear and two of our friends are missing! I have no idea what I believe at this moment." He snapped, "I'm just going with it." Dean added as he turned back and walked away from Sam. He fell into a cold angry silence as he walked away. All the while the inside of his head was filled with muddled questioning thoughts. Dean's eyes scanned around the area for any sign of unusual behaviour or any angel statues as he walked along. He paused when he spotted the statue at the top of the arch. There was something different about it…he thought.
Sam stared after his brother standing still. He didn't know how he had expected Dean to react but Sam hadn't been expecting him to blow up like that at him. Sam frowned and trudged off after his brother watching as other people walked past Dean oblivious to the strange events that were occurring around them.
As he went to catch up to his brother Sam thought about it all. All the angels, demons and supernatural creatures they encountered during the life. Looking at the people who passed him he realized that they probably had no idea who real it all was. It was just fiction to them. Just a story or movie character to them never once would they consider the idea real probably.
Sam thought about the TARDIS behind them and The Doctor. He wondered which category they'd both end up in or if they were a whole new category. Did he and Dean finally encounter an alien? The Doctor had said he'd come from the sky and the TARDIS defiantly passed for something way advanced their technology and the Doctor talked of time travel like it was simple. Maybe it was simple, wherever the Doctor was from in the future or his planet.
In the past Sam and Dean had had two false "alien" encounters. The first time it had turned out to be the work of The Trickster, who really turned out to be the archangel Gabriel. While the second time Dean and Sam had mistaken fairies for aliens.
This time though…it seemed to be the real deal.
"Sam!"
At the sound of his name Sam stopped walking and looked around with a confused expression on his face. Searching around the crowd of people he finally spotted the only possible source of who'd called his name.
Walking towards him was a young woman wearing a long black skirt with a black jacket. She had dark hair and a familiar face. Blinking and shaking his head Sam stared wide eyed at the woman approaching him. "Mattie?!" He exclaimed shocked.
The woman frowned and came to a stop in front of Sam crossing her arms in front of her chest. "Don't say it." She warned him scowling at the expression on his face.
"But you're in-" he began to say.
"I said don't!" Mattie snapped glaring at Sam and nearly stomping her foot revealing that she was still wearing her black combat boots. "Yes, I'm in a skirt, but it's not like the world is ending again or anything." She said with a clear amount of annoyance.
Sam gulped and nodded his head. He looked her over again and forced his eyes away from her change in clothing long enough to realize what was amiss. "Wait, didn't Cas-" he began to ask.
Nodding her head Mattie spoke over him, "yeah, he pulled me out of the 1800's."
"1800's!" Sam exclaimed and looked her over again, "that explains the way you're dressed." He remarked meaning for it to be under his breath but it was obvious that Mattie had heard him when she smacked his arm glaring at him. "Sorry." Sam said backing away from her raising his hands showing he meant her no harm. "Just you look really different."
"Yeah, I got the news flash." Mattie snapped looking at him annoyed still and held her jacket closed around her.
Sam nodded and looked around, "so where is Cas now?" He asked looking around and finding no sign of the angel.
Mattie gave a half smile and almost laughed, "Where do you think," she commented earning a frown of confusion from Sam. She nodded backwards towards the arch her hands on her hips, "with his fearless leader, of course." Mattie remarked dryly.
Sam narrowed his eyes at her, not understanding what she meant for a second but quickly nodding understanding who she meant. Dean.
-(Dean & Cas)
Dean stood in front of the large archway looking up at the angel that stood at the top of it. He didn't notice the sound of Cas' wings when the angel appeared behind him.
"Hello Dean," Cas greeted, his voice monotone as usual.
Jumping forward in surprise at his voice Dean turned around to face the angel, "dammit Cas!" Dean exclaimed staring at him. Castiel glanced at the ground frowning. Dean frowned at the angel and looked around, "did you get Mattie back?" He asked.
Castiel nodded, "yes, I was able to bring her back from the 1800's after she mistook me, for who I assume to be a woman, by the name of River Song." He replied.
"River?" Dean repeated narrowing his eyes at Cas.
The angel nodded, "yes, River." Dean nodded and looked past Cas his becoming fixated on the blue police box in the far off distance. "Is that name of import?" Cas asked a frantic urgency in his voice.
Shaking his head, "no, no it's nothing." Dean replied as he looked around till he spotted Sam talking with who Dean figured was Mattie. "Is Mattie wearing a skirt?" He asked staring at her from across the way.
"Yes, she, uh, she doesn't like to talk about it." Cas replied following Dean's line of vision landing on Mattie and Sam. "What happened to the Doctor?" He asked glancing at Dean.
"He disappeared back into his box" Dean replied and began to walk towards Mattie and Sam. Castiel nodded and followed Dean.
They met Mattie and Sam halfway from where they'd been standing. Dean had failed to notice that they'd also been walking as they talked. He looked at his little brother and Mattie and opened his mouth to say something but before there was a chance for the words to be said.
"Say whatever you're thinking, Dean, and you'll regret it." Mattie warned him her eyes finding his and almost challenging him to go against what she said.
Dean closed his mouth and nodded, looking around trying to dig himself out of the invisible hole it appeared he'd fallen into. "Um, uh, nice look," he commented voice flat.
Rolling her eyes Mattie shook her head.
"Did you find anything?" Sam asked changing the subject abruptly taking a step towards Dean.
Looking at his brother Dean shook his head. "Couldn't get close enough," Dean replied and glanced over Sam's shoulder eyes fixing on the TARDIS. "I did however learn something about our new found friend Bowtie's mystery River though, thanks to Cas." Dean replied.
"Bowtie?" Mattie replied her face scrunching up in confusion. "Friend? River? Cas? What-what are you talking about?" She demanded looking from Sam to Dean trying to demand and explanation.
"We'll tell you all about it later," Dean said walking passed Mattie and clapping her on the shoulder, "right now, we got an alien to interrogate." He added continuing on towards the TARDIS.
Mattie stared after the elder Winchester confused and fixed her eyes on Sam demanding answers. "Did he just say alien?"
"Yeah, um, he did but-" Sam sighed looking from Mattie to Dean torn between them both.
Mattie frowned knowing Sam wanted and probably needed to go after his brother and nodded her head for him to go. Sam nodded in thanks and ran after Dean. Crossing her arms over her chest Mattie turned around finding Cas standing behind her, his eyes squinted staring at the blue box on the side of the pathway. "Do you know anything about this?" She asked him tilting her head.
"No, I, uh, I left before they learned any information about the Doctor." The angel told Mattie.
Pursing her lips as she nodded Mattie hummed. The name or rather title was familiar. She recalled River mentioning a doctor but never got any details of specifics about who he was. "Doctor, huh?" She said looking at Cas with a curious gaze. He nodded the oblivious and confused expression on his face as he stared at Mattie. "Well this could turn out interesting," she remarked and turned around to look back and see where Sam and Dean had gone to. "Let's go follow them." She suggested and before Cas got a chance to protest Mattie had already taken off towards the police box.
Just wanted to thank everyone who reads the story. Reviews and any feedback would be great. I'm kind of stuck currently with writers block so if you wanna give me any suggestions or anything feel free to. Any ideas on how to bring Sherlock back would be loved!
