That's The Hunter's Life

Chapter 24

Sam and Nova was sitting at the table when Dean walked in. They were trying to find something about how to cure a demon.

"Please tell me that's everything."

Dean chuckles, "No, not even close. You see men of letters kept files on denomic possession for the last 300 years. I mean we've got Borden, lizzy, all the way to Crane, Ichabod."

"Wait, they think lizzy Borden was a demon?" Nova giggles.

"Apparently." Dean chuckles with a shrug.

Sam took the folders but right as he went to put them down he started groaning in pain.

"Aah." He put his hands to his face.

"Baby?" Nova was concerned as she rubbed his upper back softly.

"How you feeling?"

"With his fingers." Nova smirked.

"Ha ha bite me." He then realized what Nova did last time he said that and put his hand up with a smirk, "Not literally."

"I swear you two." Sam smiled a little then answered Dean's question, "Honestly, um, my uh whole body hurts. I feel nauseous and like I'm starving at the same time and everything smells like routing meat."

"I've had that hangover. Jager, man." Dean scoffs.

"Nah, maybe he's just pregnant." Nova joked.

"Oh sure." Dean chuckled.

"That's how it pretty much was with me. The first few months everything stunk and made me nauseous."

"Oh I remember that. Half the time to eat you had to keep your nose plugged. We thought it was the flu for the first week until I talked you into going to see a doctor."

Nova nodded, "Yup."

"Wow, glad I missed that." Dean smirked and rubbed the back of his neck. "Well how about you take Sam to take a break, get some fresh air."

"The only thing that's going to make me feel better is finishing this."

"All right. Well, I'll go get you some grub, keep your strength up."

But Dean came back with some jerky, peanut butter cups and a beer, that he took a drink of. When Sam questioned him about it, Dean said they were running low on supplies.

"Why didn't you tell me? I could have went and got some stuff."

"Because we was a little distracted with trying to finish these trials." Dean said with a little more attitude than he intended, so he sighs, "Sorry, didn't mean for it to come out like that."

She shook her head as she waved her hand in the air, "Don't be, it's okay. I understand we've been in a lot of stress."

When the guys went to check out the room 7b Nova decided to go grocery shopping. When she got back they told her they were going to watch a film they found. Dean helped Nova put up the groceries as Sam set up the projector.

When they got to St. Louis it was late so they got a hotel room. Sam changed into some sweat pants and a t-shirt then laid down in bed on his stomach. After Nova changed into her own shirt and pajama pants she took the opportunity to straddle his waist and started massaging his back.

"Oh that feels good." Sam mumbled out.

"Seriously you two?! I'm right here in the bathroom!" Dean called out.

"Oh don't worry all I'm doing is massaging his back. I promise." Nova laughed.

Dean popped his head out with his eyes closed, "You sure I'm not going to see something I don't want to see that involves my brother?"

"Yes Dean, it's okay." Sam scoffed.

"Okay." Dean smirked as he opened his eyes and went and sat on his bed.

After Sam fell asleep, Nova continued to massage him a little bit longer then slowly got off him.

"My turn." Dean joked.

"Okay." Nova smiled with a shrug.

"Oh I was only kidding."

"So? Dean you deserve you one too and I have no problems giving you one."

"You sure that's okay?"

"Why not? A massage can be innocent. Now turn and lay down." She snapped her fingers.

They chuckled together then once he laid down on his stomach she straddles him and gave him a back massage.

"Damn, that does feel good. I don't think I've gotten one of these massages in such a long time."

"I can tell, your muscles are so tight."

"Maybe we should have you do this before we have to take on a monster."

"Now, now, don't want you guys too relaxed on a hunt." She giggled quietly.

They decided to use Abbaddon as the demon to cure so they sewn her head back into her body. But before they could get things moving Crowley called Sam's phone. The two guys stepped outside to talk to him but Nova stayed inside with the demon. The guys were so distracted by the phone call they hadn't noticed she didn't walk out with them.

Somehow Abbaddon used her power to get her hand from the metal box they had it in. Before Nova could react the hand was on Abbaddons shoulder, Nova went to grab it but she got kicked back and be time she got up the hand pulled the bullet from Abbaddons mouth. She then attacked Nova and knocked her out.

When they walked back inside they noticed Abbaddon gone and Nova on the floor.

"No no no!"

"Nova sweetheart!" Sam grabbed her in his arms.

"She's gone. She's - Son of a bitch!"

"Baby wake up. Come on." Sam brushed his hand down the side of her head.

Nova opened her eyes and took a deep breath, "What- what happened?"

"You tell us." Dean snapped.

"Dean!" Sam snapped back.

Nova then came to the realization, her eyes got wide, "Abbaddon!" She looked to the chair and back at Sam, "I'm so sorry!" She covered her hands with her face.

"Hey, hey its okay." Sam spoke softly.

"Look, Nova I'm not mad at you. I'm mad because that bitch got one up on you."

Nova slowly nodded as she sat up then told them what happened.

"Why didn't you yell for us?"

"I didn't have time." Nova sighed.

As they left Nova noticed the bruises on her stomach where she was kicked but quickly hid it before the guys could see.

After they found out Crowleys next victim would be a girl they saved years ago, Sarah Blake, they quickly went to her. Before they got there though they filled Nova in about the case. Sam even confessed that him and Sarah had kissed when the case was over. Nova wasn't mad about it because it was in the past.

When they got there Sam went up first while Dean and Nova gathered up everything they would need. When they got to the Sarah's door Dean knocked and Sam let them in.

"Sarah, long time." Dean said as they walked in.

"Sarah, you remember Dean. And this is my girlfriend Nova."

"Pleasure to meet you." Nova smiled and shook her hand.

"The feelings mutual." Sarah smiled back.

"Look we're gonna put devil traps everywhere, windows, doors. We got holy water. An exorcism ready on a loop. And anything that comes through that door, it's meat."

Once they were almost done with the trails Sam went over to talk about Sarah's ring. After she was done she asked how Sam and Nova met.

"We met in college. Then we lost touch for a while then a few years ago we met up again." Nova explained.

When Sam got upset over Sarah ending up dying she comforted him.
