Hometown Hero (15th in Arrow/SPN Crossovers)

I Was Born For This

Falling too fast to prepare for this
Tripping in the world could be dangerous
Everybody circling, it's vulturous
Negative, nepotist

Everybody waiting for the fall of man
Everybody praying for the end of times
Everybody hoping they could be the one
I was born to run, I was born for this

Whip, whip
Run me like a racehorse
Pull me like a ripcord
Break me down and build me up
I wanna be the slip, slip
Word upon your lip, lip
Letter that you rip, rip
Break me down and build me up

Whatever it takes
'Cause I love the adrenaline in my veins
I do whatever it takes
'Cause I love how it feels when I break the chains
Whatever it takes
You take me to the top I'm ready for
Whatever it takes
'Cause I love the adrenaline in my veins
I do what it takes - Whatever It Takes - Imagine Dragons

Bobby Lou was parked in the spot nearest the elevator, he was leaning against the hood, "Hey Sam." 

He gave me a quick smile, "Hey." 

"Drive okay?" I asked as he opened door for me to put my crap in the backseat. He'd checked in a few hours back but with the way the city is growing traffic always gets crappy about an hour or so out. 

He shrugged and shoved his hair back, he should really cut it one of these days. 

"Not bad. Hope Thea's not too pissed I'm not over-nighting like usual but the bodies are piling up on this hunt, want to get there quick." 

"Nah, she's swamped with end of year stuff and looking at opening a new club. She says hi and sends this," I gave him a quick hug which made him laugh while he returned it.

 Then he grabbed his phone, "I'll send her a hug emoji so she knows you did your job." 

"Thanks man." I got settled into the passenger seat as he walked around and opened the drivers' side. "How's Eiru?" 

"She's been better. She's helping Mac, he's back but still has a lot of stuff he's processing, it's making a lot of stuff surface for her too. I got the feeling that this was something better handled by people who were alive when those things had happened. She was kind of upset at first when I brought that up, but, after three or four all night talks she and the rest had where she didn't even make it home she saw my point. I don't feel left out or anything, it's their family stuff and I'm not part of that history. I figured I'd come home and get some work done in the meantime."  

He'd been in Ireland up until last week when he texted me and said he'd found a hunt he wanted to go on. The whole thing with Mac and Gabriel had happened about six months ago, none of us knew if Mac would ever make it back. Sam had spent a large chunk of the time since then over in Ireland. We'd all been super stoked he'd finally taken that huge next step, just like we'd been when Dean and then Oliver had. If anyone deserves to spend most of their time smiling it's Sam, not that Dean and Oliver didn't deserve happiness but, at least to me, Sam was still owed a massive amount of good times after being tortured by Lucifer for however long.  His text hadn't really gone into all too much detail as to what the hunt was, nor why he wanted to come back but I figured he'd be saving all that for road talk, that and if anything really bad had happened I was pretty sure Dean would be the person he'd be hunting with, not me.  "Is Mac going to be okay?"  

He started Bobby Lou and put her in gear, "I hope so. I think it's just going to take time. He's surrounded by people who love him so that helps." 

We pulled out of the parking lot and he turned east to head out of town, I decided to change topics, for now at least, "So? Where to?" 

"How's this for a change? We're only about two hours away." 

"Uh, you know I still have a car right? I mean, you could have flown in and saved yourself some road time."
