Author Note - So this next part introduces a new OC. He, like Andy, is a world walker and has special powers. Some of them are from other fandoms. It's not explicit but it may seem a bit odd. He's a Death God and can see spirits, reapers, and such whether they want to be seen or not. He also can manipulate earth, including rock and minerals.

Well we just ran into a guy…literally ran into, who says he's your husband.

Where are you?
Andy
WHERE are You?
Leadville, Colorado
Of course you are. Don't move I'll see you in an hour..
There was a knock at the door. Really more like a bang, or a pound, or a hammer. Then the door fell in with a bang. Andy stood in the door way. She took one look at Dean who was occupied with staring at the door that had just been kicked off its hinges, and bared her teeth. He had a shiner, and ice pack on his left side.
"I'm gonna kill him!" she said. Dean couldn't say anything for a moment. He was too stunned at seeing a side of Andy he hadn't known even existed.
"Andy, it's ok I'm not really hurt."
"Where is he!"
"Andy calm down you-"
"WHERE IS HE!" Dean stepped aside and looked towards the bathroom. Andy marched in straight to the bathroom. Without hesitating she punched through the door and ripped it off the wall. Dyson was there standing against one wall.
"What the FUCK is wrong with you?!" she yelled.
"I'm jealous we know this,"
"That does not give you the right to go around trying to KILL my LOVERS!"
"I wasn't trying to kill him…I wanted to but I wasn't trying."
"So instead you just beat him to a bloody pulp? He's not like you! He's not as strong!"
"Hey" came Dean's indignant voice.
"Not what you think Dean," said Dyson looking over Andy's head. A fist flew out of nowhere and connected with Dyson's jaw.
"Do not talk over me ass. What the HELL were you Thinking!?"
"It's not that bad. He'll live…likely."
"I don't give a shit if it's not that bad!" she swung at him again, this time he blocked it by catching her fist. There was fire in her eyes. She brought her knee up towards his nether region which he just managed to block with his own knee. Andy stumbled back a few steps from the force of the impact. She glared at Dyson. "Why do you always do this. Every time I start to settle you show up and screw with it. Now, after the shit you pulled last time, you think you can waltz into my life here and fuck with my friends?"
"What do you mean likely?" Dean asked loudly.
"Shut up Dean!" Andy shouted.
"Andrea, look you broke the deal, 25 years. I have every right."
"It's been 25 years it's been 60 actually,"
"But you said you've only been here 12."
"Yea… but I haven't seen you for over 60…therefore more than 25."
"But not here…"
"Did I not just say that…"
"Andrea the deal was 25 years in a world…" There was a pause. A long pause.
"You're kidding…" He was not kidding "Dyson how is that fair. I rarely stay in one place for more than 25 years. So I can go centuries without you...and without anyone else…how does that work out?"
"I went 1000 years thinking you were dead and I had one relationship,"
"Because you were busy doing other stuff. You said yourself you had no interest in a relationship!"
"It still renders your argument moot."
"What? No it doesn't! You had no interest. Sometimes I have the same feeling. I have no interest in being with someone. But sometimes after a few decades of being alone...thing start to get boring and companionship is a nice relief."
"Andrea don't you dare talk to me about being alone. I have been alone...I mean Alone for fifty years."
"You know that's not what I mean. I just wanted something, and after 60 years of being without you I thought that would be ok. Especially after I took care of your wife and son for you."
"That wasn't my fault. I got summoned-"
"I don't care. It still happened. You were gone, and I got stuck with your shit."
"Stuck. You loved Sansa."
"That is not the Point!"
"Then what is the Point!"
"You can't control me. You can't just waltz in and manipulate my lives!" At that Andy stormed out of the motel room while all three boys stared after her. Dyson made an exasperated sound then turned to the wall and started to manipulate himself a cave to hide in.
Sam and Dean stood in the motel room utterly confused. They looked at each other with wide eyes and slightly open mouths. Dean passed a hand over his face.
"What the hell just happened?" he asked looking from the…tunnel that had just appeared in the motel wall to the two doors that had been pulled off their hinges.
"I have no idea," Sam replied. "Did you know Andy was that strong?" Dean shook his head.
"Oh this day just keeps getting weirder and weirder." he said shaking his head.
"Say that again," Sam agreed. He sighed. "Dean, go after her. I think she may need you right now. I'll deal with…our new friend." He said nodding at the tunnel.
"Are you sure?" Dean asked eyeing the rock walls skeptically. Sam nodded.
"Go Dean," he said waving to the doorway.
Dean found Andy around the back of the motel where there was a small creek running through the property. She had her shoes off and had her feet in the water. She was playing with the creek, making little balls of water float around her head. Dean sat down next to her. She glanced up at him her eyes flashing angry for a moment. She softened quickly once she saw it was him. Dean could see she had been crying. They sat in silence for a moment.
"So I guess that he is one of the things I didn't know about you?" Dean said. Andy chuckled darkly.
"What was your first clue." She tucked her knees into chest and laid her head on her knees. Dean swallowed hard. He could hear the venom in her tone. It kind of scared him. Dean had never seen her this angry before. Even when his dad screwed up and she left.
"So…" he said trying to find the right words to say and not get punched "how long have you known him?" Andy sighed. She wiped her eyes and looked up at the sky. She was quiet. Dean wondered if she was going to say anything. He was about to try another tactic when Andy finally started to speak.
"I've known him since I was three years old." She looked at Dean for the first time. "I mean, actually three years old." Dean looked confused for a second. Then realization dawned. Andy had know this guy for over 800 years. "We got together in high school. When we were 16. Well before all of this shit," she nodded at the balls of water floating around her head. "The first place we got pulled to was one I created. It was a book I was writing. After that we didn't see each other for a few life times. 160 years for me and about 1000 for him. We found each other again in a world full of magic and dragons. We made our agreement there. We lived there for 50 years together and we've been bouncing around together and not together ever since." They were quiet again. Andy seemed to have calmed down a bit. Furry wasn't rolling off her in waves anymore. Dean stared straight ahead brooding. There was no way he could compete with a guy who she had been in love with 8 centuries. No matter how much he loved her, there was just no way. Dean sighed.
"Look Andy, I understand if…" he hesitated. Andy looked at him waiting "if we're done." Andy raised her head. He couldn't read her expression.
"Dean…"
"I get it. I can't compete with him. He's your soul mate, and I understand that I can really be a part of that. So, no hard feelings." Dean got up and brushed himself off.
"Dean wait," Andy said getting up as well.
"No, Andy, the longer we draw this out the harder it will be."
"Dean will you just stop,"
"Goodbye Andy," he turned away from her. But she managed to grab him and pull him around to face her. She stood on tip-toe and kissed him deeply. Dean pulled away.
"What the hell Andy?"
"Dean, shut up." She gripped his arms hard so he couldn't pull away from her "It's true. He is my soul mate, and I love him and I always will. But the point is I'm really angry with him. I have been with a total of five guys and two girls. Two of which he has wanted to and tried to kill now." Dean was staring at her wide eyed. "The truth is, right here, right now, I want you. Those other guys I was with. Sure I cared for them. I gave two of them children. But you," she looked into Dean's eyes intensely. "Dean you are the first guy I have fallen in love with since him. There it is Dean. I'm in love with you, and I never thought it would be possible." They stared at each other. Dean was searching her. Trying to see if there was any truth in what she was saying. She gazed back at him steadily. They stayed that way for a long moment.
"You were with two girls?" Dean said finally. Andy's mouth dropped open. Dean burst out laughing. Andy could help but laugh with him.
"Out of that whole speech that is what you take away." She smacked him playfully on the arm. His face sobered slightly. He pulled her into his arms and held her close.
"We'll figure this out Andy. Together. I promise."
"Thanks Dean," Andy said quietly into his chest.
"No worries babe. Should we go back?" Andy sighed.
"I guess. I've cooled down enough, question is has he." Dean grimaced. He was afraid of him a bit. After all the guy had all but knocked him out. But Andy obviously trusted him, so he would go with it. They made their way back into the hotel room. Andy just rolled her eyes.
"Show off," she muttered.
"Yea, I was wondering about that…" Dean said prompting Andy to explain.
"You know how I can manipulate water?" Dean nodded, "Dyson can manipulate earth." She started into the cave. They ran into Sam who was running back up the tunnel. Dean was still thrown off by that. But if this guy was anything like Andy, which he defiantly seemed to be, Dean knew he should try to just roll with it.
"Something's happened!" he said breathlessly.
"What do you mean?" Dean said suspiciously.
"He's not in the cave and I have been here this whole time so he couldn't have got past me." They scoured the cave. Finally Andy got frustrated and shifted to her cougar form. She tracked his sent to a crack in the wall. That crack lead to a deep network of caves that seemed to run under the whole city. They figured out it was a Wendigo. Andy was amazed that it had managed to get the drop on Dyson. The boys went back up to the room, to get a few torches. Then they all worked through the caves, Andy tracking Dyson's sent. They found him, unconscious and tied up suspended from the roof. They tried to wake him up. Finally, Andy planted a kiss on him. Dean's face went stony. Dyson slowly opened his eyes.
"Hey there," she said quietly.
"What happened?"
"You got jumped by a Wendigo."
"A what?"
"Wendigo." Right then it decided to show up. Andy made quick work of cutting Dyson down before it got to her. Her head hit a rock and knocked her out for a second. When she came to, Dyson was giving the thing a wicked beat down. The boys were about to try and toast it, but Andy stopped them.
"It'll help him. Let him beat it up for a while." A while turned into Dyson beating it up and down the tunnels until they came out at an old quarry. Finally Dyson had had enough.
"Why won't this thing die." Dyson said punctuating each word with a punch.
"You have to burn it," Andy said. Dyson looked back at her.
"That would have been nice to know." He threw the thing away from him and began to shift. When Andy realized he was going all the way she groaned.
"Boys! Back in the tunnels now!"
"What? Wh-"
"NOW!" She got them as far as she could then threw up a water barrier in the tunnel. The heat was intense, but the flames didn't reach them. When it was over, the boys just stared. Sam looked at Andy.
"What just happened?"
"Remember when I asked if he had shown you the whole show when he shifted?" they nodded. "That was the whole show. He's a dragon." They said nothing. They made their way back Andy using what little water was left to cool the stone to walk on. They could see him, sitting on a large lump of melted rock, completely naked. Andy sighed.
"Boys, go back to the motel. We'll meet you there." They just nodded and left. Andy wandered out to Dyson. He didn't look at her when she got to him. She sat next to him after cooling a spot for herself. They sat quietly for a while.
"Well that was over kill if I ever saw it." She said.
"Yea, well. I had some rage to work out." Andy sighed.
"Dyson, this needs to stop. I really care about Dean. I think I may love him actually." Dyson bristled but Andy pressed on. "and I know that's hard for you to hear, but it's true. I will always love you. More than anyone. But here, in this world, he and I have been through a lot together and I'm not going to just let you tear that apart because your jealous." They were quiet again. After a bit Andy tried to break the ice. "So, where were you?" Dyson swallowed.
"Alone." Andy waited for more.
"Ok…like no people?"
"No life, except plants. I may have created a sentient race of golems though. Rock, clay, wood…"
"Seriously?"
"Yea, I got really lonely after about 10 years. Then it took about 20 to make them. It just sort of…happened."
"How long were you there?"
"50 years."
"You were alone for 50 years?" He nodded.
"Wow." Andy sat stunned for a moment. Then she stood. "We should get back. The boys will start wondering. I'll go and get you some clothes. You should…wait here." Dyson looked up at her terrified and shook his head.
"Don't leave me alone. Please."
"It'll just be a few minutes." He grabbed her arm and held her tight.
"Please Andrea, don't leave me alone." He was almost in tears. Dyson rarely ever cried. Andy looked at him and gave up.
"Ok, we have a long walk ahead of us. Dyson shook his head then gave her a hug. Suddenly they were back in the motel room. Andy looked around.
"Lucky bastard. You can do translocation here!" She then realized that Dyson was still naked. She glanced around hopping Sam and Dean were not looking. The thing was, Sam and Dean weren't there. She looked out the window. The Impala was gone. Her heart sank. They had taken off.
"Where is everyone?" Dyson asked. Andy turned to him.
"I think they left. Probably got a bit freaked out." Dyson shrugged.
"Dean will be back."
"What makes you say that?"
"You."
"What about me?"
"I saw how he looked at you. He loves you. Trust me. He'll be back. You're worth it."
Andy took Dyson and went back to the Roadhouse. She didn't tell Ellen everything. That would have been going a bit too deep. She introduced Dyson to Ash, and they hit it off right away. Jo pulled Andy aside the day they rolled in.
"Is that him?" she asked in a confidential whisper. Andy nodded. "How is that going?"
"Not great. Kinda shit actually." Andy replied with a sigh.
"I'll bet."
It took about a week for Andy to see the tension between Ellen and Jo had spiked to a whole new level. They fought almost every day. More often than not, they would try to drag Andy into it as well. When Jo decided to take off, Andy was flattered that she asked her to come with. But she couldn't leave Dyson. At least not right away. So Jo took off, and Andy stayed behind.
It was a few weeks after coming back to the Roadhouse that Andy caught wind of a case. It looked like a basic salt and burn so she decided to check it out. Dyson was still a bit shaky about being left alone, even though he and Ash were starting to become really good friends, he wasn't comfortable staying there by himself. So they set off to Milford, Nebraska. Andy had been right. It was just an angry spirit taking its stuff out on ex-husbands. In the cemetery Dyson was keeping the spirit occupied while Andy dug, salted and torched the bones. Satisfied that the job was done Andy turned back to Dyson. He was looking intently at something she couldn't see. This was not an odd occurrence, but she wandered over anyway. She heard him speaking, but couldn't quite make out what he was saying. Then she heard him say,
"Hey, wait a second," then he vanished. Andy started. In general Dyson suddenly disappearing was not an odd occurrence either, but he was a bit unstable still.
"Shit," Andy said under her breath. She waited for a half hour before she started looking. She knew she wouldn't find him, but she still had to try. She exhausted herself searching the whole town for him. Finally she gave up and crashed in the motel room. At 10am her phone rang. It was Ellen.
"Did you lose something?" she asked, a mix of confusion and amusement in her voice.
"Is he there?" Andy asked hoping that she was right.
"He's here," Ellen replied.
"Good. I'm going to kill him."
What had happened was Dyson had gone to see Death about a job. Seriously, that was it. He had seen a reaper hanging around the cemetery and mentioned that he did what they did. When the reaper just turned away, Dyson followed it. Right back to Death's office. He then proceeded to have an interview, to which he was told his services would not be required. So he had made his quick and easy way back to the Roadhouse. Andy could only listen in stunned silence until he was finished telling the story.
"Death?" Andy said. Dyson nodded. "You had an interview with…Death…" Andy put a hand to her head.
"Honey, you know I love you but what the hell!?" Andy shouted. Dyson flinched. "You just wandered off and left me freaking out about where the hell you had gone and then pop back here saying you met Death like it was nothing!"
"I'm sorry,"
"That's great. I accept, but…Jesus. Dyson, you can't do shit like that!" Andy sighed. "I need to get out for a while." she said and went to her room. She called Jo and told her what had just happed.
Maybe you should come out here for a visit.
That's not a bad idea actually.
Thought so myself.
Done, I'll head out tomorrow morning.
See ya in a few days then!
You bet!
So Andy drove out to Duluth, Minnesota to see Jo. They had a good few nights. Then Jo had to work, but Andy wanted to stay a while longer. That night she went to the bar Jo was working at to pick her up. When she didn't come out when she was supposed to Andy got worried. When she saw her friend tied to a post Sam standing over her with a knife, she knew it couldn't be him. Not really. She called Dean. He was already on the way. Together they got Jo free, and Dean went after Sam. Once, Andy had checked Jo out they went after the boys. There was no sign of Sam. Jo kept calling Dean with no answer. They found him by the sound of Smoke on the Water coming from his phone. He was lying on a dock, soaking wet with a bullet wound in his shoulder. Andy sent Jo back to the bar to find a first aid kit. The first thing out of Dean's mouth when Andy got to him was
"Where's Sam?"
"Don't know. We were looking for you. Come on get up." Dean groaned. With Andy's help he managed to find his feet. Though he lost them a few times as they made their way back. Andy sat him down and Jo placed a bottle of whisky in front of him. Dean drank while Andy dug the bullet out of his shoulder. The moment it was out Dean tried to stand.
"Cool your jets and give me a minute to patch you up." Andy said reaching for the gauze. Dean caught her wrist.
"Andy, I don't have time for that." he said looking meaningfully into her eyes. She glanced at Jo and shook her head. Jo gave her a questioning look. "Andy…please." Dean said. Son of a bitch. Andy sighed and slipped into her healing sight. She made quick work of it. Not perfect but it wouldn't get infected or cause him to bleed to death. Jo stared at them open mouthed and wide eyed.
"I told you, you don't know everything about me." she said quietly. Dean looked between the girls, then grabbed his jacket. Dean figured Sam was headed to Bobby's. Andy went with him. With some blood sweat and tears they managed to exorcise the demon from him. Sam and Dean went back to Bobby's, Andy went back to Jo. Who sat her down and grilled her for information. Andy was surprised she hadn't freaked right out and told Andy never to darken her doorstep again. For that vote of confidence, Andy told her everything. Once they got through all that Andy took them to get an anti-possession charm tattoo. Andy had hers between her shoulder blade, Jo on her hip. Then life went on.
