Family Remains

"Amen"

"John Winchester," I said, putting my hands on my hips.

A small smile was sent my way as he looked at me.

"Nice to see you after so long," He said.

"Its nice to see you too, old man," I said with a grin.

He chuckled and ran a hand through his greying hair.

"You've grown into a nice, strong, young woman," He said, seriously.

A small smile pulled at lips. Nobody above my age has ever called me a woman...hell, nobody has ever called me a woman.

"I heard that you had been knocked into a coma and I decided to come and check in on you," He said softly.

I gave him a sincere smile and went over to him. I wrapped my arms around him and gave him a tight hug.

"Its been too long," I mumbled into his chest.

"I agree," He said, rubbing my back slightly.

I pulled back and smiled at him again. Reaching up, I smacked him upside the head and took a couple steps back. He flinched and gave me confused look.

"How could you go look for it by yourself?" I growled.

"Ashley," Dean warned.

I completely ignored him and glared at John.

"What?" He asked, acting innocent.

"Why," I said pronouncing every syllable. "Did you go search for it by yourself?"

John sighed.

"I don't want one of them to get hurt," John explained.

I groaned and threw my hands in the air.

"That's always your explanation!" I exclaimed. "I know you want to keep your kids safe, but don't you think you should stay safe for your kids?"

John just stared at me. I know he knew that I was right, but he would never admit such a thing.

"I need it dead, Ash," He told me.

"I know, John," I said, sounding sympathetic for him.

"I need it dead and I need it gone. I won't rest until it is," He added.

I nodded.

"Well, its time to rest," I said with a small smile.

He gave me a curious look.

"What?" He questioned.

"The demon that killed your wife," I said. "Isn't dead, but he is in Hell."

"How would you know?" John asked.

"Because I put him there."

The look that he gave me was something that I can't even describe. It was something between confusion, concern, curiosity, not believing me, and believing me.

"Impossible," John breathed out.

I shook my head.

"He came after me and then I found out that he killed my parents," I explained. "So, I sent his ass to Hell."

"Why would he come after you?" He asked.

I shrugged. I don't think he should know that I'm Angel Kissed, at least not yet.

"I don't know and I don't care, he's gone and that's all that matters," I said.

"Ash?" Sam called, sounding confused.
