Supernatural: Wayward Sons: Monster Squad

Graceland, Part 2

Several Weeks Earlier

The hunter Walt was being carried out on a stretcher as the police investigated the cabin where he'd been found. The headless body of the other man in the cabin had yet to be identified, while Walt was being taken to the hospital for severe dehydration.

Then there was the third body, a woman who had been shot to death. It would look like an open and shut murder case to any other officer, but not to Detective Jackie Henriksen.

"So, we ready to call it a day?" an officer said as Henriksen kneeled down and looked at a half foot-print in the sawdust on the floor next to the dresser. Someone had been walking barefoot on the floor, and the size of the print was too small for either of the two men or the dead woman to make.

"There was a child here," Henriksen said as she stood up and walked toward the cellar, opening the door and shining a flashlight down, seeing a few scattered toys and empty cereal boxes. "This just turned into a missing persons case."

Today

Jesse opened his eyes and sat up in a strange bed. He was still tired, and his body was feeling sore. It was a feeling he hadn't felt since he was a young child and had the flu in a time before he'd developed his powers.

"Where am I?"

"We're still at Joshua's," Alfie told him as he sat in a chair next to the bed. "You passed out."

"I guess teleporting took more out of me than I thought," Jesse said as he planted his stocking feet on the floor. "Let's get the guys and get going."

"No," Alfie told him. "It's too much strain on you, we'll find a car and drive the rest of the way."

"And who's going to drive us? The vampire, the depressed kid who's too heart broken to focus, or the angel with the learner's permit?"

"I think the permit might have expired by now,"

"I can do this, Alfie, I can get us there," Jesse told him. "just need to get some caffeine in me or something."

"Jesse, I don't think it's wise to strain yourself, you could do permanent damage to your body," Alfie said as he put an arm around his friend's shoulder. "Why are you so willing to risk your life to make me an angel again?"

"Because... you're my best friend," Jesse told him. "I've never had a friend before. It's always just been me and Uncle Gabriel, and even before that, all the kids thought I was a freak. You're the first person who likes me for who I am, not what I can do."

"I want you to take it easy, okay?" Alfie said as he hugged Jesse. "If I get to be an angel again, great, but it's not worth you dying."

"Hey, I sat through the Jem & The Holograms movie without killing myself, I'm pretty sure I can teleport four people to Kansas," Jesse said as he fell forward onto the ground. "Are we there yet?"

"So, have you thought about it?" Asher asked as he walked through the greenhouse with Connor.

"I'm not killing you, Asher," Connor told him. "I don't drink human blood. I may be a monster, but that doesn't mean I'm going to act like one."

"Then I'll find someone else who'll do it," Asher told him as he turned away. "I don't need you."

"I get it, this guy was important to you, but is he really worth dying for?"

"He was my entire world, we were supposed to spend the rest of our lives together. We were going to save the world as a team."

"Then why don't you spend the rest of your life doing what he would have wanted? Which I'm pretty sure is to live your life and help people. You're a hunter, Asher. Man up and stop feeling sorry for yourself. I'm sorry, but Mason's gone, and even though I didn't know him, I'm pretty sure he wouldn't want to see you like this. If you really love him as much as you say you do, then start acting like the guy he wanted to be with and stop acting like a little bitch," Connor said as he walked away.
