Part 3:

"Woah. What do you mean, demons did this?" Dean grabbed Kae as she tried to run to the car. "Hey, come on don't - ow!" he was cut off as she turned enough to drive her fist into his face, causing him to let go of her. She felt a little relief at seeing the busted lip she'd caused him."Dammit!"

"Kae!" Sam grabbed her arm as she tried to run past him, and held her back. "Kae anything you had in there is long gone." he said. "We can help you out, but you need to be straight with us - why would demons do this to your car?"

Kae yanked her arm out of his grasp. "Same reason the angels want to fucking smite me." she said bitterly. "Lucifer."

Dean stared at her incredulously. "What?!"

Kae sighed heavily. "Long story. I don't have time for that now -"

"Bull," Dean countered. "If we're helping you at all, you're gonna have to be straight with us."

The glare she gave him made his stomach twist uncomfortably. He definitely did not want to get on her bad side, but there was absolutely no fucking around if she was involved with angels and demons - not to mention Lucifer.

"Fuck you," she said coldly. "I'll get out of here on my own. Probably not best to be hanging around the Michael and Lucifer vessels anyway. Yeah...I know about that." she added when they looked at her surprised. "Good luck evading them - Zachariah can be a real bitch."

She turned and hurried off down the street. Dean turned and headed back to the Impala, Sam on his heels - and he didn't sound happy.

"We can't just leave her to deal with that on her own." he said. Dean groaned and turned to look at him.

"Yeah we can." Dean replied. "What?!" he cried when his brother gave him an exasperated look. "If she wants to fight those dicks on her own, who are we to stop her?!"

"And if she dies?" Sam asked, folding his arms over his chest. "Can you live with that?"

Silence. Then a loud groan as Dean climbed into the driver's seat and started the engine. "Dammit. Alright, come on."

Kae stared down at the beat up Chevy in disgust as she pulled out her lock pick kit. She wasn't really game for breaking windows and setting off car alarms - not to mention possibly being arrested for grand theft.

The sound of a car approaching made her look up and groan quietly. The Winchesters' Impala was making its way slowly down the road toward her. When it reached her, the front passenger window rolled down and Sam poked his head out.

"Okay here's the deal." he said. "If you want, you can come with us, and we'll work together. Face the apocalypse - all those bastards who want to use us - together. Hell, we can even track down that other wraith while we're at it." he paused. "We just want to help okay?"

Kae looked at the ground. "You don't owe me anything."

Sam shook his head. "No. You helped us with Jesse."

"So?"

"I - You -" Damn it. Kae didn't know what to say...she preferred to work alone. It was just better because nobody would find out what she really was and try to kill her for it. But Sam and Dean knew what she was, and they hadn't lifted a finger to destroy her (though she suspected Dean really wanted to).

She couldn't handle Lucifer and everything else on her own, that much was clear too.

And maybe this would be a chance to make up for the wraith incident.

"Look we don't have all night, Prin -" Dean broke off at the look Sam gave him. " - Kae. If you wanna go with us, it's now or never."

She took a deep breath.

"Alright."

The first night on the road with the Winchester brothers was one that Kae really didn't remember much. She spent much of it asleep in the back seat before being woken up the next morning by Sam, telling her they'd reached the town where their next case was: Wellington, Ohio. They rented two motel rooms (thank God) at a shitty motel.

"Never thought I'd be so grateful to see a bed again in my life." she groaned, collapsing onto the mattress in her room. "No offense, but the back seat of your car isn't exactly comfortable, Dean."

Dean rolled his eyes but said nothing.

She looked over at Sam. "What's the case?"

"Local guy got his head ripped off." he answered.

"I'm sorry...what?"

"Head. ripped off." Dean snapped at her.

"Well excuse me for asking," she shot back. "but if we're working this together then I should know the same information you two do. So what's so special about a guy getting his head ripped off?"

"Cops think it was a bear attack," Sam explained.

"What makes you two think it isn't?"

"Guy was killed in his bedroom." Dean replied. "You know a bear that can climb a flight of stairs?"

"Yogi if he really wants a picnic basket."

"Cute." Sam smothered a snort and Kae smirked as she got up off of the bed (reluctantly).

"Okay so...I'll call you guys after I make a run. Later.." she grabbed her purse and pulled her cell phone from it as she left the room.

"You're in Ohio?"

"Yeah...I'm fine, Mom. Honest." Kae smiled at the cashier and swiped her card through the reader. "I'm...uh...with the Winchesters."

"John Winchester's kids?" Max asked.

"Yeah." Once the cashier had handed her her receipt, she grabbed the bags of clothes she'd bought and headed out of the store. As much as she liked shopping, she hated that this time it was because her suitcase had gone up in flames when the demons had destroyed her car. "You know 'em?"

"Nope, just heard of them is all...Think John might've taken a case here when you were a kid...maybe a werewolf? Sounds familiar anyway."

Kae pursed her lips. "Hmm. Hey mom I've gotta call a cab to get back to the guys - we're working a case. Call you in a few days okay?"

"Okay. Wait - a cab? What happened to your car?!"

"Love you, Mom, gotta go." Kae hung up and quickly called for a cab to come and get her.
