  Sam walked out of the courthouse and put his hands up in a victory motion. Dean, Garth, and I all clapped in celebration.

"Congratulations, you're done with your first marriage." Dean clapped him on the back.

"Alright, well I should get going. There's a Vamps nest over in Montana that needs to be Garthed." Garth smiled at his pun.

"Well, buddy, I gotta say you, uh, don't suck." Dean patted Garth's arm.

"Thank you." Garth nodded, "That's the nicest thing anyone's ever said to me." Garth then leaned over to give Dean a big hug. Which in turn made Dean an uncomfortable awkward mess.

"Don't think you'll get out free." Garth looked at me, I accepted his hug.

"Thanks, Garth. It's been something." I smiled.

"And uh, feel free to give me a call anytime." He handed me a notecard with a scribbled phone number on it.

"Take care." I said, trying to hold back my laugh. I was very flattered after this week.

"Wow." Dean said after Garth had started pulling away, "Looks like you got a new boyfriend."

"Stooop." I whined, shoving the number in my pocket.

"You're keeping it?" Sam asked, raising an eyebrow.

"You never know. It could come in handy." I said, "Plus it's not like I get hit on every day, it'd be kinda fun to have a memento."

"Hey, was Crowley right about the whole-" Dean asked.

"Virgin, thing?" I cringed, "Yeah."

"You're joking." Sam's jaw dropped.

"Look, I was a geek in high school and college and now. I've just never really had the opportunity." I swayed uncomfortably.

"You're saying no man has ever wanted to get in your pants? Not even like prom night or whatever normal kids did." Dean squinted.

"No, it's not that hard to believe. And I never had a date to prom. I went with my friends." I shrugged.

"It's a little hard to believe." Sam smiled, his eyes looking me up and down. He probably thought I didn't see it, but I did.

"Speaking of Crowley, mind if I ask what the hell is going on here?" I grilled them, "What's a leviathan?"

"The first monsters." Dean says.

"What?" I look them side ways, for all the crazy things I've picked up this was the first I found hard to believe.

"They're the first creatures God ever made. They eat everything. They shift into whoever they want and blend into human life and snack on whoever they want." Dean explained.

 "How do they shift?" I ask.

 "From what we can tell it's a black ooze. They were put in the water and spread all over the place." Sam continued.

"Thanks for the Crash Course. How come this never came up before? What kind of whacky stuff have you guys gotten into?" I questioned.

"It kind of just happened." Sam said.

"What do you mean 'kind of just happened?' That's what you say after a one night stand not monster hell break." I cross my arms.

"In the beginning, God threw the Leviathans in Purgatory to keep them from eating the planet. We had this friend, Castiel. He was an angel. He, uh, wanted more power and needed peoples souls to do that. He opened up purgatory, which sucked up the Leviathans, too." Sam explained, "When things went south, the Leviathan exploded Cas' vessel."

"Wow, Angels are real too? I knew I should've gone to church more." I sighed.

"You're not missing much, most of them are dicks." Dean intervened.

"Sorry to hear about your friend." I said, "So what, you've been trying to kill these guys? Do you know how?"

 "No, not exactly. That's kinda why we've been stumbling into places like your town. Trying to do things we can do when we're tired of hitting dead ends." Sam explained. I nodded my head as a response, I couldn't exactly figure out what the proper response was. "Look, we-uh- we get it if you don't wanna stick around. Dean and I have a ton going on, and I should've thought ahead when agreeing to letting you come along." Sam continued.

 "That mean you don't want me around anymore?" I took the hint.

 "Yes." Dean said,

"No!" Sam said over it.

 "Look, I know when I've overstayed my welcome. You guys have your own system, and your routines. It was rude of me to impose but thank you for the opportunity." I gave a weak smile.

 "We just don't want you to get hurt. When people hang around us, they have a habit of being short-lived." Dean explained, "You've gotten to see what this life is like, how horrible it is. You still have the opportunity to have a normal life. Go find a good job and nice guy, have a couple of kids. The whole white picket fence package deal."

 "That's sweet. But you guys don't understand. Before 2 weeks ago I was a loser in a job where I saw death every day. Everyone dies too early, they could be 97 and still never saw their great grandchild graduate high school. What I see is regular Tuesday. And I won't lie that I've been scared out of my mind the last two weeks but it's also like I can't run away from it. Being on the road has actually been freeing compared to before, you know, for the first time the only expectation set on me is to do what I can for others and I decide when I do it." I explained, "So sorry but I won't, I can't go back. But I can leave you guys alone, so I guess this is goodbye."

 "No, it's not." Sam said, "I'd prefer to be there if something happens to you. I think Dean can agree with me on that." Dean bit the insides of his cheeks. 

 "Dean?" I asked.

 "He's right. We can't tell you what do to do. I mean, if you're going to do it, for right now you should be around people who can watch your back. And so far you've proven to be really good, wouldn't mind having you around." he told me.

 "That's the nicest thing anyone's ever said to me." I mimicked Garth. They both laughed off the tension, "Seriously though, I want to be caught up to speed. You guys tell me when things happen, I don't want to be out of the loop."

 "Deal." Sam said.

 "Is there anything I should know now? What's next?" I asked.

 "Bobby's. If you're really wanting this. It's time you meet him. He'll help you get set up." Dean said.

 "Perfect. I'm right behind you." I say. Going to the back seat of the car.

 "Sam." Dean held him back when I closed the door, "Not saying I condone you marrying again, but if you do it again, you better marry that girl."
