Beck quickly walked down the porch steps and jogged to the "three of her four men".

"Hi there, Sammy!" she teased upon reaching Sam.

Sam too happy to see her to be annoyed at the nickname replied back teasingly, "Hi there Becca-Ann!"

Beck scrunched her nose and smiled.

She turned to Dean and said in mock anger, "You told him my middle name?! Traitor!"

"Glad to see that 'ur alright, missy." Bobby said wheeling himself over to Beck.

"Yup, Cas dropped me off here about two and a half days or so ago and I've been waiting on you three to show up ever since." Beck told him adding inquiringly, "I already have dinner starting to defrost. I'm guessing you three are hungry?"

"What's for dinner, girl?" Bobby wanted to know.

"You can cook?" Dean asked.

"So you've been ok on your own here, Beck?" Sam questioned.

"Yea Sam, I've been fine. Cas dropped in a few times and we talked for a bit." Beck said to Sam.

"Yes, I can cook you dumb-ass. If I couldn't I would have starved." Beck said waspishly to Dean.

Steak for dinner." Beck informed Bobby.

"That steak dinner come with anything?" Dean asked hopefully.

"Yes, it does, mister. I'm guessing that you're happy with that." Beck laughed.

Turning to Bobby, Beck next said, "Oh, Bobby I'll replace everything I've used including tonight's dinner."

"Never mind hunny. It ain't important." Bobby reassured her.

"It is to me, Bobby. I have my own money. I can take care of myself, as well as my own debts." Beck said independently

"I know you can darlin and if ya wanna help out that's great.t I just want you to know that there is no debt, so don't go worryin about it." Bobby replied.

"Alright, so how was the drive?" Beck asked.

"It was ok. We were mainly concerned with where you were and if you were alright." Sam answered.

"Well as to where I was in between standing with Dean near the Impala being interrogated by Cas and here, I have no idea. I gave Cas a hard time, but yea, I was fine." Beck said reassuringly.

The four of them entered the house, rounded the hallway into the living room, and were greeted with the sight of Zachariah, Cas's at one time superior.

"Aw, shit! What'd you want?" Bobby ground out.

"Only to meet your lovely guest." Zachariah said oily.

"What do you want with me?" Beck asked suspiciously.

"Among other things; your help." Zachariah answered.

"Among other things, huh? If you want my "help" convincing Dean to be Michael's vessel you're outta luck, the answer is no." Beck stated firmly.

"So you do know the future." Zachariah smiled sickeningly.

"Moot point the answer is still no." Beck returned.

"Git outta my house!" Bobby growled menacingly.

"We'll talk again soon." Zachariah promised and disappeared.
