"So you're telling me this Angel- Akra-something-"

"Akrasiel."

"Whatever. You're telling me this Angel is planning on going back in time and killing me?"

"According to Ambriel, yes."

"And Ambriel can be trusted?"

Cas nods. "She is an Angel of Truth. She is also one of the few who do not consider me a traitor to Heaven."

You sigh. "Great. Fantastic. And how are we going to stop this from happening?"

"I have to take Sam and Dean back in time to 2001 and save you."

"Wait, what about Y/N?" Dean asks.

"She will remain here."

"Like hell I will!"

"Y/N," Sam starts.

"No!" you shout. "You guys are not leaving me behind so you can go save me!" There's a sentence you never thought you would ever say. "What am I supposed to do, just sit here like a good little damsel in distress and twiddle my thumbs while I wait for the big strong knights in flannel to come save me? No way! Not happening!"

"Y/N," Cas says patiently. "I am well aware that you are perfectly capable of saving yourself. But we cannot risk you coming into contact with a past you. The results could be catastrophic."

Why does Cas have to make sense? you think, deflating a little. "Fine."

"Sorry," Dean says, patting your shoulder.

"How long will you guys be gone?" you ask, folding your arms over your chest and kicking your legs up into the library table in an attempt to look like you're already over the disappointment.

"I'm not sure how long it will seem to us," cas replies. "But I will strive to bring us as close to our time of departure when we return as possible.

"A few days then. Right. You guys should probably get going, then. Gotta save me and all."

"We'll be back as soon as possible," Sam assures you.

They leave not long after and you find yourself alone in the Bunker for the first time in months.

The first thing Dean notices is that Y/N's high school is small.

The building houses about five hundred students, according to the principal- a short, grey haired man- as he shows them around the school. They're posing as journalists who are collaborating for an article about schools in the area. Dean can't help thinking the principal is going to be sorely disappointed when said article is never written.

As soon as they enter the crowded cafeteria, Dean starts searching for Y/N. He spots you almost immediately. You're sitting at a table near the door with a small group of friends, laughing about something. You look almost the same as you do grown up. The only difference is the distinct lack of laughter and worry lines on yours face.

"May we interview some of the students?" Sam asks, having spotted Y/N at the same time as Dean.

"That's a splendid idea," the principal says. "I'll get you a list of students to choose from and have to set up in an office. Right this way, please."
