Chapter 22

3 AM

Lexi screams and Dean lifts his head off her chest. In an instant, he's fully awake and sitting up. He gathers Lexi up in his arms and whispers soothing words in her ear. She's still screaming as he pulls back and cups her face in his hands, "Lexi! SHHH! Baby girl, what's wrong? Did you have a vision?" She takes a shaky breath, her eyes wide as she nods. "What did you see?"

"Lydecker...we have to find him before..."

"We have to find him before what?"

Lexi shook her head still trying to catch her breath, "I can't...I can't explain it, it's too horrible. Let me show you." She reached her hand up to Dean's forehead, he recoiled instinctively causing Lexi to sigh, "I'm not going to hurt you Dean."

"Last time you showed me something in my head it brought me to my knees. That was worse than getting kicked in the jewels."

"That's because I was miles away when I projected those images in your head. Trust me."

Dean nodded and closed his eyes before Lexi gently placed her hand on his forehead. The images hit him with such force his head jerked back, it was one of the strangest things he's ever experienced. He was in the hallway now, he could feel the coldness of it, smell the antiseptic and suddenly found himself in front of a glass wall. Lexi dropped her hand from his forehead as Dean's eyes flew open. He took a deep breath staring at his wife with wide eyes, "Wow Lex..." Dean smirked at her, "that was a pretty hi def sex dream you were having of me there."

"You saw that?"

"Yeah..." He smiled with a shit eating grin on his face, "do you have sex dreams about me a lot?"

"Oh hush. If you saw that then it wasn't a dream, it was part of the vision."

"Why are you having visions of us having sex?"

"It's not about us having sex, it's giving us a time frame. I'm not pregnant when we're in bed and I'm not pregnant in that room. Which means its at least six weeks after I have Stella. So that would make it around early to mid June."

Dean sighed and rubbed his face. He knew this was not good. Lydecker was somehow going to track them here within the next three months. Dean's first thought was to pack them up right then and hit the road. He knew they couldn't do that though. It wasn't in Lexi's best interest to move her at the moment. He chewed on his bottom lip as he went over his options. Truth was, they were stuck between a rock and a hard place. He knew her visions have never been wrong which meant Lydecker is going to find them. He saw what she saw and it wasn't good. Lydecker is going to take Ben and Alec to reindoctrinate them. Sam, Jackie, Bobby and Victor are all going to be murdered by Manticore. Then, the bastards are going to torture and experiment on Lexi, Jake and Stella to find out what we are.

"It's not going to happen. I'm not going to let them their hands on our kids." Lexi stated harshly while clenching and unclenching her hands, "I'm not going to let them kill our family. We're unbinding my powers and I'm going to kill that son of a bitch myself."

"Lexi..." Dean whispered as he tucked a strand of her hair behind her ear, "c'mon you know those powers don't come from a good place."

"I don't care where they come from! I controlled them before Sam went off the deep end and it gives us an advantage. Lydecker has no idea that I even have them."

"No. You're not using them."

"That is NOT your decision. Are you really willing to let everyone that matters to you die because you're afraid that I'm gonna go bat shit and turn into my father?"

"Lexi, I know you're not yellow eyes. I don't want you using them because it's a slippery slope..."

There was so much more he wanted to say to Lexi but he just couldn't find the words. Yes, her powers frightened him, he wasn't going to deny that. But it was more than that. He's already seen first hand what happens to her if she gives in to them. Everything that makes her Lexi disappears and is replaced by a cold, calculating imitation. He came close to loosing her once, hell, if Jackie had her way, both Lexi and Sam wouldn't even be alive right now. But Dean held fast to the hope that he could save them. He did save them, thanks to a binding spell he found in Lexi's mom's hunting journal.

Dean knows damn well that Lexi still has nightmares about what happened almost three years ago. They're less frequent now but there are still nights that she wakes up shaking and screaming. When it happens, Dean wraps her up in his arms and whispers soothing words in her ear until she falls back asleep. He never asks her what the nightmares are about; he doesn't have to. He's pretty sure they're close to his own nightmares.

Dean's also certain that his brother is haunted by what happened just under three years ago. Sam gets this look in his eyes, this horrible self loathing look, then dives right into whatever case they're working. Him and Sam have never really talked about what happened except for when Sam showed up on his doorstep. Sam had apologized that day and even though Dean had forgiven him, Sam hasn't forgiven himself. It's these reasons why Dean doesn't want them to unbind their powers. There's too much that could go wrong. One or both of them can go bat shit and then where would they be? Dean and Jackie would be back to hunting them down to try and stop them again. For Dean, it wasn't worth the risk.

7AM

Sam groggily made his way into the kitchen, the smell of fresh coffee propelling him forward. He poured his coffee with his eyebrow raised. Lexi was seated at the kitchen table while Dean was at the stove making breakfast but that wasn't unusual. It was the coldness between them that wasn't normal, as if they just had a fight. "What's going on?" Sam asked the room in general.

"We need to talk to you and Jackie."

"Oh, well she'll be down in a minute."

Once Jackie joined them in the kitchen, Lexi began describing the vision she had earlier that morning and the plan of action she thought they should follow. At first, Sam was inclined to side with Dean, he knew first hand how dangerous their powers could be but then Lexi's argument on how this decision had to be based on strategy and not emotion made him reconsider. Sam knew she was right. If they made this decision based on their emotions they would surely be walking straight into her vision. He wasn't about to let that happen. "Dean, Lexi's right. I think we should unbind her powers. Lydecker has no clue that she has them. Plus, she can get into their base camp relatively easily."

"Are you crazy, Sammy? Last time..."

"This isn't like last time." Jackie interrupted, "I was there too Dean. She was fine until Sammy went all dark side and took Jake, but before that she controlled them. I don't know about you but I'm not ready to die at Lydecker's hand. I'm not afraid to die. That's apart of the job. We're all gonna die bloody but I'm not going out like this."

Lexi reached across the table taking Dean's hand in hers, "You know this is our best bet. I know you're worried about me but we can make the tonic to bind me before hand and I swear I'll drink it as soon as we take Manticore and Lydecker down."

"I want to unbind my powers too." Sam stated looking straight at Dean with determination. "I might not have as many parlor tricks as Lexi but they could be helpful."

Dean couldn't believe what he was hearing. He thought for sure that Jackie would back him up. After all, she was there when he had tried to bind Lexi and had actually tried to convince him to kill her instead. He shook his head trying to make sense of what was happening. He just couldn't believe they were all on board for this despite what happened last time they had their mojo. Dean sighed looking from Lexi to Sam to Jackie and back again, "I don't like this one damn bit but if we can take them all out then I guess...maybe we should do it but on one condition. You, Lex, will not gank anyone. You get us in and burn the place to the ground but I'm the one that's gonna end that sonofabitch."
