Warping to Destiny - A Supernatural FanFiction

Chapter 51 - Welcome Home

Sam's POV

I was not liking any of this, but at least it seemed like the girls were protected now. Maybe we could chance letting them stay here. Especially since Maggie seemed to have such a calming effect on Dean. Amazing how well he's handling this, but I think when that zap Cas gave him wears off it won't be fun.

I cleared my throat to get everyone's attention. "I think if everyone's agreed, we can let the girls come back?"

Dean said, "Yeah, girls, go ahead and pop on home and grab whatever you need for the night. You can get the rest tomorrow."

They gave us kisses and hugs and left to get their things. When they were out of earshot, I said, "Okay, now let's really talk about this. Are we really gonna get ourselves geared up to fight someone else's battle? Again? Aren't we tired of spreading for every Tom, Dick and Harry higher power who wants to screw us?"

"I don't like it any more than you do, Sammy," said Dean, evenly. "But at the moment, we don't know jack squat about what we're up against, do we? So, I say let's be prepared, not so we can get screwed, but so we can give the screws to whatever we have to, to stay alive through whatever's going to happen. Because at the moment, it doesn't seem to me like we can stop it from happening. Unless you know something I don't?"

I knew what he was saying was the truth, I just didn't like it. "No," I said. "I don't."

"Cas," said Dean, "Is there anything you can throw us here that can help at all."

Cas shook his head. "No, sorry," he said. "Until a week ago I had no idea the God I worshipped wasn't eternal. I'm still struggling with the concept."

"Yeah well, while you're playing around with philosophical concepts," said Dean, "it's our asses that are apparently going to be on the line, so see what you can dig up, okay?"

"Oh but guys," I said. "We need some way to get the girls out of the way tomorrow. We have a lot to do in just one day."

"True," said Dean. And I'm not giving up our surprise for any freakin' god, powerful or not. But it would be easier if they weren't here while we do it."

"Tell them to go have a relaxing day doing girl shit," said Garth. It was the first thing he'd spoken since the discussion started. We all looked at him. "Look," he said, grinning. "I have a wife. It's clear you guys are new at this. Tell them you want to finish up your project, and since you won't really be around for them all day, they should take some time to pamper themselves. With everything going on, they need to relax. Go to a spa. Get their hair done. Buy some new clothes. Believe me, they will love you for it."

Dean stared hard at him and said, "Well, thank you, Dr. Phil!"

"It's a great idea, though," I said, "but just one of us should do it, or it will look suspicious," I said.

"You do it, then," said Dean. "It's more you're style," he said, teasingly.

"Fine, I have no problem with it," I said.

Just then the girls came back, and we broke up the meeting and headed to the kitchen for a bite.

Later that night as I held Katie in my arms, I said, "God, I've missed you. The bed was so empty last night."

She smiled at me and touched my face. "I know," she said. "I missed you too. "Her touch was so soft and pleasurable I just had to close my eyes and savor the moment. "Are you scared of what might happen?" she asked.

"Scared? Not really. No more than for any other job. But I AM angry," I said, more softly than the words themselves conveyed. "I am angry that just as it looks like Dean and I might actually get a chance for a little happiness, something could snatch it away. And I'm angry at the thought that if anything happens to us, you and Maggie will be hurting. And I'm just really angry that once again, someone else is pulling our strings."
