There is something I should clear up: Dark Angel is set during the Supernatural timeline. So the Dark Angel timeline is set back about 10 years give or take. Just so you all know.
Anyway here is the 3rd chapter, and I hope you like it. I found it rather hard to write Dean and Sam telling Alec that they knew about him, and writing Alec's reaction to that. But I did my best so I hope it's believable.
Please enjoy :)
Chapter 3
Utah, Layton.
Some crappy motel room.
He felt a burst of pain shoot through him, starting from his chest, waking him up, though he didn't remember going to sleep. Alec blinks a couple of times to adjust to the sunlight.
Once his eye's adjust, he sees a dark haired man, who looked like he worked in a bank or something.
...And that's when it hits him. He was at a petrol station and this weird-ass trench coat wearing man somehow snuck up on him, and knocked him out...and embarrassingly, this time, he wasn't even drunk.
Alec bolts up into a sitting position and with a quick scan of the room, he sees he is in the motel room he woke up in last time. Complete with his crazy DNA donor and his donors brother.
His crazy DNA donor...
And he thought Lydecker and Manticore carefully picked the donors. Obviously they didn't check his donor out very well.
"Hey kid" his donor, Dean, says.
Alec narrowed his eyes, unsure of how to handle this situation, especially since it seems they have a friend that can somehow track a transgenic and knock them out.
Finally he settles on just glaring at Dean.
"We need to talk" Dean says from the bed next to him.
"So you had Mr tax accountant knock me out and kidnap me?" Alec's glare deepens.
Dean couldn't help but smirk at Alec's comment, "pretty much kid".
"Don't call me kid, I ain't a kid".
"Look Alec, we are sorry that we had Cas bring you back here, but as Dean said, we really need to talk" Sam says.
"I don't think we have anything to talk about".
"Really? Have you missed the part where we look exactly alike?" Dean raises an eyebrow.
"No" Alec pretends to look Dean over, "Anyway, I wouldn't say we looked exactly alike. Your old and i'm freakin adorable".
It's Dean's turn to glare, while Sam struggles not to laugh, "He really is you".
"Shut up Sam" Dean returns his look to Alec, "look kid, we know about you".
Alec raises his eyebrow, "Know what? Which have you decided on? Brother or future kid?"
"We settled on you being my clone" Dean looks him in the eye.
Alec froze. His eye's widening before narrowing again. They couldn't possible know. Right?
Alec huffs out a laugh, "Clone? You people really are crazy".
"Alec, we know everything. Our friend Cas is an angel and after he found you, he read your mind" Sam says gently, knowing that Alec may become violent if he feels threatened.
Truth be told, Alec didn't know whether to laugh or cry. His DNA donor that gave him DNA, was completely crazy. Ben didn't stand a chance, the poor bloke. He doesn't even stand a chance! His mind was fucked! He was going to end up going crazy, believing in things that arn't real and killing people...
"You guy's know that there are places that can help you right. Cuz trust me, you need help" Alec says.
"It's true, we may not be completely sane, but I wouldn't say we were completely insane either" Dean says.
"You just said your friend was an angel, you were talking about demons and shapeshifters, and you asked if I was from the future".
"Admittedly, not a promising start, but it's all true. Cas show him" Dean nods.
Deciding to play the weirdo's game, Alec turns to look at the Cas guy, with a board face.
However his eye's widen when Cas disappears at the sound of flapping wings, and somehow his eye's get even wider when Cas reappears with the flapping wings again.
The flapping he heard at the gas station.
Well this was interesting...
Finding his voice, Alec says, "Cool trick".
"It wasn't a trick. That was one of my powers as an angel of the Lord" Cas says.
"Ok, so your 'angel' read my mind?" Alec was still reluctant to believe.
"Yeah" Sam nods.
"Prove it" Alec says.
He was willing to believe all this crazy crap, if angel boy could prove it. There was no way anyone, apart from Manticore people, could know everything... Unless angels were real and one read his mind...
He was actually hoping this crap was real... because if it was... at least then he wouldn't be crazy.
"Tell me something, that you 'read' from my mind. Something that not just anyone would know" Alec challenges.
"I'm sorry for your loss" Cas says, "Rachel seemed like a nice women".
Alec felt his lungs stop working and his heart beat faster. Not even many people at Manticore knew about Rachel, less that know she's now dead.
"Holy shit" Alec mutters, putting his head in his hands.
"We know everything kid. Your my clone, with added cat DNA to make you and others super soldiers" Dean says, "We know you and the others had no choice, you were just kids and they basically brainwashed you and would leave you for dead if needed".
"It's okay Alec" Sam says in his gentle tone, "We just want to help you-"
"You want to help a freak? I ain't falling for your nice guy crap" Alec hisses.
"Trust me kid, we've seen freakier things then you" Dean says.
"He's not kidding. The worst and freakiest thing I think i've seen, is probably Dean naked" Sam goes pale, "I'll never get that image out of my head".
"Hey!" Dean glares, "I'm damn handsome".
"Look, I don't need your charity, okay? I'll be on my way, again" Alec goes to stand up.
"You leave we'll just get Cas to zap you back" Dean says.
"So you're just going to keep me hostage?"
"Pretty much" Dean nods.
"Dean" Sam bitch faces before looking at Alec, "look, we just want to talk. There are somethings you need to know. Being Dean's clone puts you in danger. Right now, more then ever".
Alec smirks, "I think I can handle myself. As you now know".
"You can handle yourself against normal people, but not demons and other supernatural beings. You don't know how to go against them" Sam says.
"And let's not forget the angels" Dean adds.
Alec raises an eyebrow, "angels? Your friend is an angel".
"Trust me when I say that Cas, is the only angel that you can trust. All the others are douchbags who are trying to start the apocalypse".
"The apocalypse? Why would angels do that?"
Dean sighs, "It's uh... It's a long story".
Alec sit's there absorbing everything the Winchesters and their angel say. Only interrupting every now and then to ask some questions.
By the time everything was explain and understood, as much as their lives could be understood, it was dark outside and Alec had never felt so...so, He didn't even know how he felt about the situation.
"So basically, because I'm your clone, I'm screwed." Alec says, "cuz angel are homicidal assholes, who want you become their bitches so they can basically destroy the world and most things in it, and because I'm your clone, they could try and get me to replace you".
"Yeah, sorry about that" Dean sighs.
"It's okay, you're kinda screwed because of me too"
Dean scrunches his eyes, "What do you mean?"
"Wings read my mind. Didn't he tell you about the guy trying to kill all transgenics? Me being at the top of his kill list, next to Max" Alec explains, "because your my DNA donor, you are also screwed. White would take one look at you and think you were me and kill you on the spot. Any of his men too, and he has a lot of men".
Dean turns to Castiel, "You didn't think to mention that?"
"You didn't ask" Cas replies, "I must go now Dean. Call or pray if you need me".
"Thanks Cas" Dean says just as Cas disappears.
"Uh, what was that. Before, when I woke up. I felt this pain in my chest and it hurt like a bitch" Alec brings up.
"That was Cas branding your ribs with his angel language" Dean says, "You'll only ever see it if you have an x-ray".
"Basically, it keeps you from most angel detection" Sam explains.
"So that mean's I can leave then" Alec stands up.
"No" the word leaves Dean's mouth before he has time to realise he was saying it.
"Why not?"
"Well...It's just... you know" Dean says, "Uh... Like Sam said, most angel detection. Meaning that they could still find you, it's just a lot harder for them. And trust me, if they find out about you being my clone and they decide you'd be a better option... They will do whatever it takes to find you and get you on their side".
"And trust me, I can lay low and look after myself".
Sam steps in, "It's not just the angels, it's the demons and all they other beings out there. To them, you're Dean Winchester, and they'll do whatever it takes to be the one to say they kill him".
"You may have some extra speed and strength, and some other stuff... But so do all the supernatural nasty's out there... and you have no training in the supernatural hunt. You wouldn't know what it was if it came up to you, as you have no knowledge about any monsters. Which means you wouldn't know how to fight it, what powers it may or may not have, what it's weaknesses are and how to kill it" Dean continues.
"Encase you forgot, I am basically a genetically empowered killing machine" Alec says.
"Were you not listening to what I just said?" Dean glares at the younger man, "You know nothing about our world. You'll get killed as easy as a twig snaps".
"Then tell me what I need to know about the demons and stuff, then I'll get out of your hair" Alec bites.
"No" Dean stands up and over Alec slightly.
"And why not?" Alec didn't back down.
"Cuz..." Dean struggled to answer.
Dean didn't know what the hell he was doing. They could easily train the kid and then send him on his way. From everything Cas had told them, once Alec hand the knowledge, he'd be fine on his own.
...But Dean couldn't do it. He couldn't let Alec just go. This kid was technically a Winchester... or technically had Winchester blood. He would be hunted down all because he had the unfortunate problem of being Dean's clone.
And Dean couldn't let another person die on his watch. He couldn't.
Mum, dad, Ash, Adam, Jo and Ellen...
No, he couldn't just let this kid leave and most likely get killed because of him. He wasn't going to lose another person.
Sam could see the dilemma in his brothers eyes. He knew exactly what Dean was thinking. Dean blamed himself for everything, he put the weight of the world on his shoulders. He blamed himself for dad, Ash, Adam, Jo and Ellen, so Sam knew that Dean would hate himself if anything happened to Alec. He would blame himself like he did for everything even though it wouldn't be his fault.
It wasn't his fault that Alec was his clone, meaning that now Alec was technically going to be targeted because he looked like Dean. But it didn't matter that it wasn't Dean's fault, Sam knows his brother blames himself anyway.
Sighing, Sam decides to jump in and help Dean, "Look Alec, right now, with the whole apocalypse going on... It would just be best if you stay with us for awhile".
Sam almost flinches back at the glare Alec sends him. It was identical to Deans... which shouldn't have been surprising since he is Dean's clone, but it was freaky.
Technically this kid was his brother, because he was technically Dean... it was weird and freaky, and Sam still hadn't gotten his head around it... Dean has a clone. An actual freaking clone...There were now two Deans... Someone kill him...
Though... now he may actually get to have a chance at being a big brother. He never got to be one since Adam wasn't actually Adam, he was a ghoul.
However, being a big brother to a younger Dean... That's going to be very interesting.
"I'm not saying that you stay with us forever, just till we can stop Michael and Lucifer from fighting" Sam says to try and get Alec to agree without having to have Cas babysit him, "Besides, it would be the best way for you to learn about our world, and you can tell us everything we need to know about this 'White' guy just encase he shows up in the future and you know... thinks Dean's you".
Alec harden his glare, Sam had backed him into a corner. He couldn't leave now, encase Dean did run into White. He'd be dead before he knew what hit him without any knowledge about White and his men.
Begrudgingly, Alec sighs, "fine... I'll stick around for a bit".
"Thank you" Sam smiles.
"However, once you have stopped the apocalypse and these angel don't need me anymore, I'm gone" Alec says, "Also, if I'm needed back in Seattle with my people, you wont stop me from helping them. I told them that even though I was leaving for a bit, I'd still come back if they needed me. Different shit is always going on down there, never know if they may need an extra transgenic".
"Sounds fair" Sam agrees.
Alec looks and Dean and raises an eyebrow, waiting for his agreement.
"Fine" Dean sighs.
Alec didn't know why the hell these two were so adamant that he stay with them. He was just some freaky science experiment. He wasn't there problem, he was nothing to them, they shouldn't care.
Alec almost hit himself, of course they didn't care. They were just looking out for themselves because of the whole 'White' thing. Which is fine and doesn't bother him. They'd look after themselves, and he'd look after himself.
There was no reason for the brothers to care about him, he wasn't there problem. Alec was only going to be with them for a bit. Temporary companions, sharing information to help each other. That was all they would be.
He knows he's going to have to call Max and explain to her what was going on now. She was going to yell at him.
"So now what?" Alec sighs.
Dean grins, "now we get some lunch. Since your my clone, you should know how important a greasy burger and some pie is".
"Burger, yeah. Never had pie before though" Alec shrugs.
"Whoa...How the hell can you be my clone and have never had a pie grace your mouth?"
Alec shrugs again, "Like wings told you, I grew up in a government facility. Only been out in the world for a few months, so nope, never had pie. Is it good?"
Dean's eyes widened, "...Is it... Is it any good?"
"Yeah...?"
Sam groans behind him, and Alec turns to him.
"You shouldn't have started this" Sam mutters, knowing what his brother was like when it came to pie.
"Started what?"
"Is...Pie...Good?" Dean repeats.
Sam rolls his eyes, "That".
Alec turns back to Dean to find the man almost in his face.
Dean puts a hand on Alec's shoulder, "You poor deprived child".
"Dude" Alec says, completely confused.
"Pie... Pie is the best thing that has ever been created. It is made with love and deliciousness".
"Well if it's food I'll like it-" Alec starts to step away.
"It's more then food. Pie is what's good in the world" Dean says, before moving away from Alec and grabbing his jacket, "We need to get some pie down his throat".
Dean grab's the Impala key's and heads out of the room.
"Just a warning for the future" Sam says while putting on his jacket, "Never question Dean about two things. Pie and his baby".
"Baby? He has a child?"
"No... His car, he calls it Baby" Sam explains, "It's a term of endearment for someone you love... and Dean loves that car".
Okay... maybe these people were still a little crazy.
"Another tip, don't do anything to damage his car, or he'll kick your ass. Trust me, I learned the hard way not to ruin his Baby".
Alec nods, "Got it".
"Come on Samantha. Enough girl talk" Dean yells, "I want some pie".
Sam rolls his eyes and walks out of the room.
Alec however hesitates for a second.
He could easily go out through the bathroom and make a run for it... although they have an angel on their side, literally, that could find and bring him back. Plus he didn't really have anything to lose by staying with these guys for awhile.
Then of course, there was the whole thing of the supernatural being real... he really need to learn about all of them and their weaknesses so if he faces up against one he can actually kill them. And he could let his DNA donor or his ordinary brother get killed if White were to meet them. He needed to inform and prepare them of everything he knew about White.
Taking a last look at the bathroom, Alec sighs and walks out the room, and towards the beautiful black car that Sam and Dean were standing. He could see why Dean would love that car... It looked really nice. He'd be pissed if anyone damaged it.
...Maybe Dean would let him drive it?
Sorry! I am SOOOO sorry for the long wait. I have just had some serious writers block for this story. Like I said at the start, I found it kinda hard to write this chapter, but I hope I did it well for you guys.
I hope I made Dean, Sam and Alec believable, or at least not to un-believable.
Of course it may seem like easy sailing between the boys and that everyone's happy and comfortable... but that is not the case. They will of course have problems and are going to be adjusting to the situation. It's going to take them awhile before they become a semi-happy dysfunctional family.
Anyway I hoped you like this chapter. Please fav, follow and review (even if it's to criticise. I want to know what I can do better for you readers).
Thanks for reading :)
