MULTIVERSE// A Supernatural / MCU crossover adventure

Parent Trap

Jack furrows his brow, "is everything ok?"

"Uh yeah." I whisper, not wanting the others to hear. "Can we just go in your room?" I grab him by the arm, and start dragging him to his bedroom.

"What's going on Peter? Is this about Dean and Cas? Did Dean say something?!" He chirps up, eager to find out more. "Are they in love? Oh I really hope so, they make great Dads."
I put my hand up to his mouth, terrified someone will listen in.

"Uh no it's not about that. It's about the ghost."

"The ghost? You mean the one we're hunting?"
I cringe at the word 'hunt'.

"Yeah uh well... turns out... that ghost is actually my uncle..." I avoid eye contact with him whilst I wait for a response, but quickly I say "but don't tell anyone... please."
I can feel him staring at me.

"Oh... do you think... he's trying to hurt you?"

"Oh no, no, no! Not at all! That's the thing, Uncle Ben could never hurt anyone, so there's no reason to hunt him right?" I say, still whispering.

"Well... no... but I think we should tell Sam and Dean. They might be able to help him."

"No I don't want them knowing."

"Why not?"

I let out a huge sigh, "I just really don't want to have to talk about it, or have people look at me with such pity. I just wanted to tell you so someone could help me convince them to stop the hunt."

"What about MJ?"
I struggle to come up with an answer. I really should've told MJ, but for some strange reason, Jack seems like someone who is less likely to feel bad for me. He's not quite like the others. Besides, I really don't want to be alone with MJ right now.

"She... she will only worry about me. She knows I don't like to talk about it, and well she's never even asked... we don't often talk about... life stuff."

"So... you guys aren't close?"

"No we're close... we just don't... talk about a lot."

"That doesn't sound like close to me."

"Hey kid you alright?" Dean says from the other side of the door. I turn to Jack and give him a look that says 'please don't tell Dean.'

"Uh yeah. I'm fine, thank you Dean."

"Can we maybe... talk... for a second?"

I frown, confused I stare at Jack. "Sure?"

I walk out and down the hallway with Dean. His breath smells of puke and coffee, but I keep my distance.

"Listen kid... about last night." He starts, in a low and quiet tone. I nod slowly, intrigued and confused.
"My memory's a little fuzzy, but I'm pretty sure I told you some pretty... private sounding stuff."
I jolt my head back, I was expecting this to be about Ben.

"Dean you don't have to worry, I'm not gonna tell anyone anything."

"Ok good cause... there's nothing to tell. I was just drunk and out of it, ok." He tries to laugh it off.

Immediately, I feel a taken back. For a second I thought maybe Dean was coming to terms about certain stuff, but I guess he's more in denial than I first thought. All I know is that its very clear to me that Dean and Castiel have feelings for each other, but also very clear that neither of them will do anything about it.

"It's fine Dean. Don't worry. Look I gotta get back to Jack I'm sorry, talk later." I walk away before he gets a chance to answer.

I make a bee line to Jacks room, closing the door behind me.
