Heroes (We Could Be)

16) Why?!

The title song of this chapter is sung by Rascal Flatts.

Dean had been driving for a while and it was time for a break.

It didn't hurt that Sam had to take a leak or that Beck wanted to stretch her legs.

Not long ago the Winchesters had gotten confirmation that Crowley, a demon, really did have the Colt as Beck had told them.

As Beck had suggested the Winchesters had sent Cas after the demon, Crowley, to hunt down and, possibly, retrieve said Colt.

Dean's phone rang while they were at the rest area. Sam was on the other side of the car and Beck was walking around.

"Hey Cas, what's up?" Dean asked.

"Got him. The demon Crowley is making a deal, even as we speak it is going down." Cas told Dean.

"Going down? Right. Ok, huggy bear just don't lose him." Dean instructed the angel on the other end of the phone.

"I won't lose him." Cas said from his end of the phone.

"Are you having fun playing Dick Tracey, Dean?" Beck asked with no little irritation in her voice.

"Look I know you said that the Colt won't work on Lucifer, but we can still do a lot of damage with it. It's still worth going after Becky." Dean replied trying to placate his very irritated female companion.

"Whatever." Beck replied and climbed back into the Impala to take a nap.

Another phone call from Cas came in. He had followed Crowley, it wasn't far away, but he was now useless to the Winchesters. The place was layered in Nokian Warding Magic and he would be unable to get in.

Dean told him not to worry about it, they would take it from there, and even went so far as to tell the angel that he did great.

Upon hearing this, Beck "Harrumphed!" in displeasure and irritation.

On the way to Crowley's place, they ran into Jo and Ellen Harville.

Beck was overjoyed to see both of them, not so much overjoyed at the fact Dean wanted to use Jo in his plan to retrieve the Colt from Crowley.

"So you wanna you Jo as bait?" Ellen asked, not exactly thrilled with the idea.

"Yea that's pretty much it." Dean agreed.

'Umm, over my dead body, mister!" Beck contradicted.

"Hey, Becca it's ok. I want to do this." Jo said to her friend.

"Great, fine, perfect go right ahead Jo." Beck said sarcastically becoming angrier at Dean and Sam with each passing minute.

"Becks, I know you're not on board with this plan, but we should at least take the chance." Sam tried to reason.

"Right, take the chance for a gun that won't work for what you want it for. Yea, you're absolutely right Sam, that makes perfect sense." Beck fumed back.

"C'mon kiddo you had better ride with me or you're gonna end up takin these boys' heads off." Ellen said.

"Tempting idea." Beck replied allowing Ellen to lead her to the Harville's car.

Beck rode with the Harvilles the whole way to Crowley's place grumbling under her breath, fuming.

Ellen couldn't help but smile. It was nice to see and hear that Beck considered the two of them family.
