Robin Singer Book 1

Season 10 Episode 23: Brother's Keeper

*OK dying to post this and we hit 19000 views so...Welcome to the Season 10 Finale. Can I be honest that I never actually thought I would get this far in the story. I thought maybe I would stop loving the writing or maybe I would have negative feedback that might derail me. It has been QUITE the opposite. While Metatron is a greatly hated character, there is a line that he said in the show that resonated with me. I know where I want my characters to end up, but how they get there, I'm not completely control of. That's the gist, not the direct quote. While the characters have dictated much of the story, there are some turning points that I always knew would have to be there. This is one of the turning points. As such this chapter will have a follow up author's note. I really need to figure out what I am going to cover here, but it will be ( I write this not knowing if the finale will be posted on schedule or done for some milestone) the next Monday. This chapter will leave questions that I feel need to be answered prior to the next season. That said, let's wrap this one up first. Thank you so much for you votes, follows, comments and kind kind support for Robin. *

I love you. I will reach out soon.

His parting words in a text message. It wasn't like last time when he left her on the dock. She didn't feel abandoned, well not by him anyway. She knew the distance this time was trying to protect her. She would be irritated by it if she thought that was the only reason, but no. He was ashamed. Ashamed he lost control, that he shoved her, though he'd done worse in the past. She didn't hold it against him. She sent him a message back. "I'm okay. You and I are okay." That was the last message between the two of them. A feeble attempt to soothe him, but there was little else she could do.

His Peace. she still took that role very seriously, and would so long as she drew breath. Though she couldn't help but question if this was enough. If they would soon be finding him with black eyes where the only interest he had in her was primal. The fear plagued her knowing bringing him back the first time was challenging, a second would be damn near impossible.

She really hadn't seen Sam or Cas since everything happened. She could hear them both puttering around. Castiel had been humbled by his interaction with Dean. As for Sam, the sting of her harsh words, and the pain of his perceived betrayal were very raw. He had been working on cleaning up the armory after the Styne attack.

Her phone rang and she answered abruptly.

"Well starting to wonder if maybe I called the wrong person" Rudy's voice came through.

Rudy was another hunter, and while he wasn't all that skilled in the field, he was becoming a rather skilled facilitator.

"Sorry Rudy" she sighed, "a lot on my mind. How can I help?"

"I wanted to touch base, knew you and Dean are sweet on each other" he explained. "Wonderin if you could tell me what the hell crawled up his ass?"

"You heard from him" she asked?

"Hell I just tried to work a case with him" Rudy replied. "Damn near handed me my ass."

"Where" she asked eagerly?

"Nebraska" he replied. "You sure it's safe for you with him right now?"

"I am probably the safest person with him right now" she replied. "Thanks Rudy." She hung up the call and gathered her things.

Somewhere in the last half hour or so, Sam and Cas had left. Not that either of them checked in with her, she heard the bunker door close. Regardless of her own personal feelings about Sam at the moment, she knew she needed him on this one.

Sam she reached out through the link?

What?! he demanded. Yes she could hear the anger, even in his thoughts.
