Being Alone (D. Winchester)

"He's Your Grandfather"

At an comicbook store.

Henry looked at the sign confused "what's going on here? "

A symbol was still visible carved into the door, but it was partly worn away. Henry touched it " No. "

Dean "All right, well, this was enlightening. Let's hit the road, huh? "

Me "Give him a minute, Dean. "

Dean "We just spent four hours driving, okay? All he did was stare out the window and request Pat Boone on the radio. He had his time. "

Henry "It's just a facade, a way to rook our enemies into believing we are housed elsewhere. "

Dean "Okay, enough with the decoder talk. How about you tell us what this whole "Men of Letters" business is, or you're on your own. "

Henry "It's none of your concern. "

Dean "Why, because we're hunters? What do you have against us? "

Henry "Aside from the unthinking, unwashed, shoot-first-and-don't-bother-to-ask-questions-later part, not much, really. "

Sam "You know what? Wait a second. We're also John's children. "

Henry "You're more than that, actually. My father and his father before him were both Men of Letters, as John and you two should have been. We're preceptors, beholders, chroniclers of all that which man does not understand. We share our findings with a few trusted hunters – the very elite. They do the rest. "

Dean raised his eyebrows "So you're like Yodas to our Jedis. "

Henry looked at him confused.

Dean shook his head "Never mind. You'll get there. "

Sam nodded "Okay, but if you guys were such a big deal, then why haven't we – or anyone we know – ever heard of you?"

Me "I've heard of you. "

They looked at me.

Me "When i was younger my father brought me a book. an old book. That symbol that is carved into the door was also craved in the cover of that book"

Henry "so you know something?"

Me "i'm sorry but i hardly remember anything at all"

His face fell "it was Abaddon's fault. "

Henry opened the door and walked inside.

We followed him inside.

Me "Henry. Why? Why'd she do it? "

He held up the small wooden box carved with the symbol "I think for this. "

I nodded"Okay, what's that? "

Henry sighed "I wish I knew. "

He put the box into his pocket "Abaddon attacked us the night of my final initiation. All secrets were to be revealed then. "

Dean "Let me get this straight. You traveled through time to protect something that does you don't know what from a demon that you know nothing about? "

Henry shot him a look but then walked further into the store.

Dean rolled his eyes " Good. "

We walked into a room. A comic book store.

Henry " Hand me your... walkie-talkie. "

Sam raised his eyebrow "You mean my phone? "

Henry nodded "Even better. "
