Fix Us (Book 2) A Supernatural Story

22-Ragnarok

Dean and Calliope leave Garth's apartment, and he gave them an address to come too. "You told Sam you'll leave with me, didn't you?" Dean asks her.

"Yeah, I had to. Dean, I can't just let him leave without knowing I wasn't coming with him. I hope you and him and sort things out though. I can't stand it when you guys separate like this, it's hard on a girl you know. I have to chose between you and my best friend, and now if something goes wrong with Sam, I don't have my powers to leave anymore" she says as she gets in the Impala.
"Yeah, well he's got Cass still doesn't he" he says to her, as he drives off toward the address. 

They pull up to the house, and step out of the car, as Sam calls Dean. "Yeah just pulled up, nothing sketchy yet" Calliope hears Dean say to Sam, as he opens the trunk of the car, and they take some weapons out. "Well, ain't you a glass half-full." He says as he closes the trunk, " Any lucks with the cops?" he then asks as they head for the house. "Yeah" Dean says as he then hangs up. He looks at Calliope as they hear singing coming from inside the house. The two of them then walk up the steps, and knock on the door, and wait.

A woman comes to the door, and looks at them, "You must be Dean and Calliope. I'm Joy, Garth's mother-in-law. Uh! Stepmother-in-law, which I always thought sounded so silly" she says as she opens the door for them to come inside.  "Please, come in, we're just finishing up" she says to them.

"Why don't you just tell Garth we're here?" Dean then says to her.
"Dean you have my word, you two are safe under my roof. I only ask the same in return. After all, I'm not the one carrying silver" Joy says to him.

"It'll be okay, and Garth welcomed us here Dean" Calliope says and he nods at her, as they enter the home. They head toward the den area where they see Garth playing the piano, and see people gathered around singing hymns.  Dean looks around, trying to understand what he was witnessing, and surprised at Garth playing the piano.

"Thank you, Brother Garth. Wonderful accompaniment, as usual" one of the men say to Garth.  "And I'll see the rest of you in the pews, 9:00 a.m. sharp. No stragglers... Sister Amelia" the man says and the others all laugh. Dean and Calliope step to the side feeling out of place as everyone starts to leave.

Garth then spots them and comes over, "Hi so, what'd I tell you? Its all good, right?" he says to them.
They then see a couple kids leave, "Everyone here's a wolf?" Dean then asks.
"Yeah" Garth says.
"Yeah, not all good" Dean then says, and Calliope gives him a stern look.

"Oh, come on Dean, you just gotta meet them. That's Russ and Joba" Garth says nodding to two men in the corner, "Bess' first cousins on Sister Joy's side.  That's Reverend Jim, Bess's dad" he says about the man that had spoken earlier. "Leader of the pack and a good man" Garth goes on to say as Jim comes over.

"Dean, and Calliope isn't it?" He asks and they nod, "Welcome, Jim Meyers, folks usually call me.." he holds his had out for them to shake.
"Reverend Jim Yeah , I got it" Dean says.
Calliope then takes the Reverends hand and shakes it, "I apologize for Dean, he has a bit of a germ phobia" she says.

"No need, I understand your apprehension, Dean. Hunters and our kind don't have the best history together" he tells Dean.
"But I think you'll find we're not much different from you" Joy says to him.
"Oh, Sister, I highly doubt it." Dean says.

"Why don't we break bread and see?" Jim asks him.
"Why would I do that?" Dean then asks, and they just walk away.
"Dean!" Garth says sternly.
"What?" Dean asks clearly not realizing he was being rude.
"You need to stop" Calliope whispers to him as they follow Garth and Bess to the dinning table.
"I don't trust these people" he says back to her.
"Clearly, it's written all over your face" Calliope says as they then join the family at the table.
