actually now that i think ab it johnny wouldn’t get pissy over vic’s driving. he strikes me as a joyride kinda guy. i’m like 100% sure he grew up around a bunch of car rednecks with these crazy ass hotrods in the 90s, then hotrod culture died down, then he got to NC and lo and behold it’s fuckin flourishing
#johnny silverhand#vanta rambles#source: both halves of my family have car rednecks#they regale me with tales of street racing and souping up these beautiful cars in the 80s#i think partly the 90s too#there was such a rich and vibrant road culture back then in FL and i’m kinda sad it’s all been sterilized#good to be safe on the road but ykwim#it’s like the death of malls to me……#the proximity of the cyberpunk setting to the 80s is what makes this whole thing work#ok i’m gonna ramble more ab florida roads hi guys#there’s also more ppl here than ever (Stop it. Don’t move here! It tooootally sucks!)#so it’s just untenable to do some crazy shit on the road like u could 30 years ago#i can’t even pull out of my neighborhood without having to play fuckin frogger waiting for the right moment to go#even going out the BACK is rough#if it was as quiet here now as it was when my parents moved to this neighborhood we wouldn’t have a problem#now literally the car line for the elementary school reaches our neighborhood AND ppl park in our neighborhood to pick up their kids#WHICH IS EXPLICITLY NOT ALLOWED#anyway. point is god i wish the roads down here weren’t a fuckin nightmare#driving is fun and i like it even if it exhausts the hell outta me#wouldn’t be so exhausting if all the dang ol orange groves weren’t squashed to make way for subdivision no. 287

Supernatural Rewrite: Season 1 Episode 4: Phantom Traveler
Summary: Y/N Singer joins Sam and Dean on the road. A rewrite starring you.
Pairing: eventual Dean x Reader, Sam x Reader (platonic)
Warnings: language, show level violence
Word Count: 8,724
A/N: I’ll try to do at least one episode a week. No set schedule.
Dean was in that perfect middle ground state, stuck right in between being awake and asleep, everything a warm, hazy glow, and comfortable. God, was he comfortable.
He took a deep breath, the smell of strawberries hitting him, taking over his senses, his mouth turning up a little at the corner because of the images that were flooding his brain. You. You were the only thing he was seeing. He couldn't help himself anytime he smelled strawberries he instantly thought of you. You always seemed to smell like them, and he found it calming, a constant in an ever changing world.
Dean never really had anything constant, stable, in his life, not counting his brother, but even Sam had went away for awhile, leaving him spiraling for something familiar. That's why he hauled ass to Sioux Falls, South Dakota that night. He needed to be reminded that there were still constants in the world. That there was still one thing he could count on to not change, and you smelling like strawberries was it. He knew it was stupid. It was completely ridiculous that something so simple, so trivial could mean that much to a person. I mean, it was just shampoo.
It was something that he would never admit out loud, afraid of how crazy it would come off. I mean, to say that the smell of your strawberry shampoo was sometimes the only thing that kept him grounded somedays was insane, right?
He found himself dwelling on how outrageous it was sometimes, but no matter the thoughts that crossed his mind, they always ended with you. Then he would think that maybe it wasn't the strawberry shampoo that was the constant he could count on, maybe it was just you, after all. He could always count on you, and that brought a peace to him that he never thought he would have.
The sound of the door opening pulled him from his blissful state, his hand automatically reaching under his pillow for a weapon as he turned his head to see who it was.
"Morning Sunshine." Sam said as he walked in, carrying a tray of coffees and pastries.
"What time is it?" Dean croaked out, you shifting in your sleep and tossing your leg over him.
"Uh, it's about five forty-five." Sam said.
"In the morning?" Dean asked, a little annoyed to be awake that early.
"Yep." Sam replied.
"Where does the day go?" Dean asked as he untangled himself from you so that he could sit up, being careful not to wake you as you were definitely not a morning person. "Did you get any sleep last night?" he asked once he was free of you, reaching up to move a strand of hair that had fallen across your face.
Sam watched the moment unfold before him, a feeling he couldn't place hitting him, "Yeah, I grabbed a couple hours." he replied.
"Liar. Cause I was up at three, and you and Y/N were watching a George Foreman informercial." Dean said, staring him down.
Sam scoffed, "No, we weren't." he said, knowing just how worried you and Dean were about him.
"Really? Cause I'm pretty sure I heard Y/N talking about how she would kill someone for one of those fuckin' steaks." Dean said, choosing to leave out what else he heard.
"Hey, what can I say? It's riveting TV, and you know infomercials about food always make her hungry, and then she wants to order whatever it is they are talking about." Sam said, smiling a little about how you always insisted on ordering everything you saw on TV, Bobby's kitchen full of different appliances.
"Did she order the grill?" Dean asked.
"Someone wouldn't let me." you said, sitting up in bed, sleepily rubbing your eyes. "Why the fuck are we awake right now?"
"I, uh, couldn't sleep, but I got coffee." Sam said before thrusting a cup in your face.
You accepted it, looking up at him with a sad smile, "Thanks." you said, wishing there was something you could do to make him feel better.
"When was the last time you got a good nights sleep?" Dean asked.
"I don't know, a little while, I guess. It's not a big deal." Sam said as you got out of bed, making your way over to the pastries he bought.
"Yeah, it is." Dean said.
"Look, I appreciate your concern-" Sam tried to say before Dean interrupted.
"Oh, I'm not concerned about you. It's your job to keep our asses alive. We need you sharp." Dean explained.
You whipped around, powder from the powdered doughnut you were eating covering your mouth, "Hey! I think I've done a pretty good job of keeping us alive so far, but maybe you're right, Dean." you said before turning to face Sam. "I'm officially passing the responsibility of keeping our asses alive to you. Good luck with that one." you said, pointing to Dean, Sam smiling a little.
Dean scoffed, "If he's gonna need luck with anything, it's you." Dean shot back.
"Please, don't be ridiculous, Dean. I'm constantly savin' your ass. Plus, there's the fact that every time you see a pair of boobs anywhere near you, you get distracted." you said, before licking your lips to get the powder from your doughnut.
"Oh, that real cute. Especially coming from the person that told one of the cops a few cases back that she bet she could bounce a nickel off that fuckin' ass, and then if I'm remembering right...pulled a nickel out of her pocket and said wanna give it a try, cowboy." Dean said, a completely serious look on his face as he looked at you.
You threw your hands in the air, "Sue me! The man had a great ass. I was only being nice and giving him a compliment. Plus, that case was over so it doesn't count." you said, crossing your arms over your chest.
Sam sighed, "I forgot how alike the two of you are. It's a little disturbing." Sam said, looking between you and Dean.
The three of you were silent for a few moments, "Seriously, are you still having nightmares about Jess?" Dean finally asked, getting back on track.
Sam crossed the room, and sat down on the other bed, handing a coffee to Dean, "Yeah, but it's not just her. It's everything. I just forgot, you know? This job. Man, it gets to you." Sam said.
"You can't let it get to you, Sam." you said coming to sit next to him.
"Yeah, you can't bring it home like that." Dean added.
"So, what? All this it...never keeps you guys up at night?" Sam asked.
"Nope." you said, Dean shaking his head no.
"Never? You guys are never afraid?" Sam asked, reaching under Dean's pillow to pull out a large hunting knife, holding it up as evidence. "And I'm willing to bet there's one on your side, too." he said, looking over at you.
Dean took the knife back. "That's not fear. That is precaution." he said.
You nodded your head, "Yeah, I just call that being smart." you said.
"All right, whatever. I'm too tired to argue with you two." Sam said, Dean's phone ringing seconds later.
"Hello." he said, you and Sam focusing on him. "Oh right, yeah. Up in Kittanning, Pennsylvania...the poltergeist thing. It's not back is it?" Dean asked, and even though you could only hear Dean's side of the conversation you knew who he was talking to. "What is it?" Dean asked again, after a pause, eyeing you as he listened to the response.
"Thanks for making the trip so quick. I ought to be doing you guys a favor, not the other way around. Dean, Y/N, and your dad really helped me out." Jerry said to Sam.
"Yeah, they told me. It was a poltergeist?" Sam asked, the four of you walking to Jerry's office inside of the hangar.
"Poltergeist? Man, I loved that movie." one of the workers said in passing, causing you to chuckle.
"Hey, nobody's talking to you. Keep walking. Damn right it was a poltergeist, practically tore our house apart. Tell you something if it wasn’t for those two and your dad, I probably wouldn't be alive. Your dad said you were off at college. Is that right?" Jerry asked.
"Yeah, I was. I'm...taking some time off." Sam answered.
"Well, he was real proud of you. I could tell. He talked about you all the time." Jerry said.
"He did?" Sam asked, shocked.
"Yeah, you bet he did. Oh, hey you know I tried to get a hold of him but I couldn't. How's he doing, anyway?" Jerry asked.
"Good." you blurted out.
"Yeah, he's, um, wrapped up in a job right now." Dean said.
"Well, we're missing the old man, but we get Sam. Even trade, huh?" Jerry asked, you and Dean laughing.
"No, not by a long shot." Sam replied.
"I got something I want you guys to hear." Jerry said, the four of you now in his office. "I listened to this, and well, it sounded like it was up your alley." he said, putting a cd into a drive. "Normally, I wouldn't have access to this. It's the cockpit voice recorder for United Britannia flight 2485. It was one of ours." Jerry said before the recording started to play.
"Mayday! Mayday! Repeat! This is United Britannia 2485- immediate instruction help! United Britannia 2485, I copy your message- May be experiencing some mechanical failure..." the voice said before a loud whooshing sound.
"Took off from here, crashed about two hundred miles south. Now, they're saying mechanical failure, cabin depressurized somehow. Nobody knows why. Over a hundred people on board, and only seven got out alive. Pilot was one. His name is Chuck Lambert. He's a good friend of mine. Chuck is, uh...well, he's pretty broken up about it, like it was his fault." Jerry said.
"You don't think it was?" Sam asked.
"No, I don't." Jerry said.
"Don't worry, Jerry. We'll figure it out." you said.
"Jerry, we're gonna need passenger manifests, um, a list of survivors." Sam rattled off.
"And, uh, any way we can take a look at the wreckage?" Dean asked.
"The other stuff is no problem, but the wreckage...the NTSB has it locked down in an evidence warehouse. No way I've got that kind of clearance." Jerry said, Dean frowning.
"No problem." Dean said, you cocking your head to the side, wondering what he had planned.
You and Sam were waiting by the car outside of a Copy Jack, Dean finally walking out as an attractive woman was walking in, the two of them taking a few moments to say hello to each other.
"You've been in there forever." Sam said.
Dean held up three IDs, "You can't rush perfection." he said.
You snatched your ID from his hand, "My perfection never takes that long." you sassed, looking down at the ID.
"Homeland Security?" Sam asked, taking his ID.
"Awesome." you excitedly said, "We haven't done this yet."
"That's pretty illegal, even for us." Sam said.
"Yeah, well, like she said, it's something new. You know? People haven't seen it a thousand times." Dean said, smiling a little at how excited you were.
The three of you got in the car, "All right, so what did you guys get?" Dean asked.
"Well, there's definitely EVP on the cockpit voice recorder." Sam said.
"Yeah?" Dean asked.
"Oh, fuck yeah, there is." you said, leaning up from the backseat.
"Listen." Sam said, before playing the recording, a scratchy voice saying "No survivors." playing.
"No survivors? What's that supposed to mean? There were seven survivors." Dean said.
"I know. That's what I said, too." you said.
"Got me." Sam replied.
"So, what are you guys thinking? A haunted flight?" Dean asked.
"Maybe." you said shrugging your shoulders, "I think it's a little early to call it just yet."
"There's a long history of spirits and death omens on planes and ships, like phantom travelers." Sam said, you and Dean both humming in agreement, "or remember flight 401?"
"Right. The one that crashed. The airline salvaged some of it's parts, put it in other planes, then the spirit of the pilot and copilot haunted those flights." Dean said.
"Right." Sam said.
"Well, maybe it's kind of the same thing here, a similar deal." you said.
"All right, so survivors, which one do you guys want to talk to first?" Dean asked.
"Third on the list, Max Jaffey." Sam said.
"Oh, yeah." you said, nodding.
"Why him?" Dean asked.
"Well, for one, he's from around here." Sam said, you quickly jumping in.
"And two, if anyone saw anything weird, he did. This is our fuckin' guy." you said.
"What makes you guys say that?" Dean asked.
"Well, I spoke to his mother." Sam answered, the impala coming to a stop in front of the gate to a building with a sign out front reading RIVERFRONT PSYCHIATRIC HOSPITAL. "And she told me where to find him."
"This guy has definitely seen some shit." you said, the three of you preparing to interview Max Jaffey.
Max was walking with a cane between Sam and Dean, Dean making sure to keep you close to his side in case any of the crazies, as he called them, got any ideas.
"I don't understand. I already spoke with Homeland Security." Max said.
"Right. Some new information has come up. So, if you could just answer a couple questions..." Dean trailed off.
"We only need a few moments of your time, Mr. Jaffey, and we would greatly appreciate anything you could offer." you said, smiling kindly at him.
"Just before the plane went down, did you notice anything...unusual?" Sam asked.
"Like what?" Max asked.
"Strange lights, weird noises, maybe, voices." Dean said.
"Maybe a strange smell." you added.
"No, nothing." Max said.
"Mr. Joffey." Dean said.
"Jaffey." Max interrupted, correcting him.
"Jaffey. You checked yourself in here, right?" Dean asked, Max nodding his head, "Can I ask why?"
"I was a little stressed. I survived a plane crash." Max said.
"Uh huh, and that's what terrified you? That's what you were afraid of?" Dean asked.
"I...I don't want to talk about this anymore." Max said, clearly uncomfortable.
"See, I think maybe you did see something up there. We need to know what." Dean said.
"No. No, I was...delusional. Seeing things." he said.
"He was seeing things." Dean sassed.
"Mr. Jaffey, we would really appreciate your cooperation." you said.
"It's ok. Just tell us what you thought you saw, please." Sam said.
"There was...this...man, and, uh, he had these...eyes, these, uh...black eyes, and I saw him, or I thought I saw him..." he said, trailing off, your body tensing when he said black eyes, hoping he was wrong.
"What?" Dean asked, eager to know the rest.
"He opened the emergency exit, but that's...that's impossible, right? There's something like two tons of pressure on that door." he said, you shaking your head.
"Fuck." you breathed out, lost in your own thoughts.
"Yeah." Dean said before looking over at you, noticing that you were no longer following along.
"This man, uh, did he seem to appear and disappear rapidly? It would look something like a mirage." Sam said, confusing Max.
"What are you, nuts?" Max asked, Sam tilting his head at the ironic question. "He was a passenger. He was sitting right in front of me."
The Impala pulled up in front of a house, Dean looking at you in the rearview mirror as he cut the engine, wondering why you had been so quiet.
"So, here we are, George Phelps, seat 2c." Sam said.
"Man, I don't care how strong you are." Dean said as the three of you got out of the car. "Even yoked up on PCP or something, no way you can open up an emergency door during a flight." Dean said.
"Not if you're human, but maybe this guy George was something else. Some kind of creature, maybe in human form." Sam said.
"Does that look like a creature's lair to you?" Dean asked Sam before turning to you. "Back me up, Singer." he said, you just shrugging your shoulders as you walked to the door, both Sam and Dean looking after you in concern.
The three of you were sitting around from Mrs. Phelps, Sam looking at a framed photograph, "This is your late husband?" Sam asked.
"Yes, that was my George." she replied.
"And he was a...dentist?" Dean asked.
"Mmm hmm. He was headed to a convention in Denver. Do you know that he was petrified to fly? For him to go like that..." she trailed off.
"How long were you married?" Sam asked, trying to regain her focus.
"Thirteen years." she answered.
"In all that time, did you ever notice anything strange about him, anything out of the ordinary?" Sam asked.
"What about his eyes? Did they ever look funny to you? Black, maybe?" you blurted out, not able to keep the question to yourself.
"No, his eyes were...fine, never black. He, uh, he had acid reflux, though. If that's what you mean?" she said, looking from you to Sam.
The three of you were coming down the stairs out front, you in the lead.
"I mean, it goes without saying. It just doesn't make any sense." Sam said.
"A middle aged dentist with an ulcer is not exactly evil personified." Dean said to Sam before calling out to you, "What's going on with you, Singer?" he asked.
"Nothing." you said, not looking at him.
"Hey." he said, grabbing your arm to stop you, "Come on, something is up with you. You've been weird since we talked to Jaffey, so what's going on with you?" he asked, holding onto you so you couldn't walk away.
"I'm just trying to figure out what's going on. That's it. I'm fine." you said, knowing that he didn't fully believe you.
"You know what we need to do, is get inside that NTSB warehouse, check out the wreckage." Dean said.
"Okay, but if we're going go that route, we'd better look the part." Sam said, looking between you and Dean.
You were leaning against the car, feeling completely out of your comfort zone in your new wardrobe. The black pencil skirt, crisp white shirt, and black fitted blazer weren't something you could ever see yourself wearing voluntarily. The heels were the only thing you felt slightly comfortable in, wearing them to hit the bars whenever you had a night off.
You crossed your arms over your chest, waiting on Sam and Dean to come out of the store they were in. You finally spotted them walking out, each of them wearing a new black suit with a white shirt. You smiled to yourself, thinking how good both of them looked.
"Man, I look like one of the Blues Brothers." Dean said.
"No, you don't. You look more like a seventh grader at his first dance." Sam teased.
"Hey, I look like a secretary from some cheesy porno." you said, twisting your hair up into a bun.
"I think you look really nice, Y/N." Sam said, smiling at you.
"Thanks, Sam. You look really good, too." you said, before looking over to Dean to get his opinion.
"A secretary, huh? Maybe, I can see you in my office later." he said, smirking at you.
You chuckled, "Real funny. Maybe, I'll just come chaperone your dance instead." you said.
Dean shook his head before looking down at himself, "I hate this thing." he said.
"Me too." you said, adjusting your skirt.
"Hey, you guys want into that warehouse or not?" Sam asked.
The three of you walked into the warehouse each of you flashing your badge to the security guard, who nodded and let you in.
You started to walk among the wreckage, Dean reaching into his pocket to pull out a device before placing earbuds in his ears.
"What is that?" Sam asked, eyeing the device.
"It's an EMF meter, reads electromagnetic frequencies." Dean replied.
"Come on, Sam, I know you aren't that rusty." you teased, glancing over at him.
"I know what an EMF meter is, but why does that one look like a busted up Walkman?" Sam asked.
"Cause that's what I made it out of. It's homemade." Dean proudly said, grinning.
"Yeah, I can see that." Sam said, unimpressed, Dean's grin fading.
You walked over to him, "Hey, I think it's fuckin' awesome. You did a good job." you said, as he ran the meter over a piece of wreckage.
"Check out the emergency door handle." Dean said, before scratching off some yellow dust, getting some on his hand. "What is this stuff?" he asked.
You shook your head, despite having a pretty good idea what it was. You didn't want to say anything until you were completely sure that you were right, thinking there was no need to cause a fuss. Especially if you were wrong in the end.
"One way to find out." Sam said, scraping some of the yellow dust into a bag.
"Shh...listen." you said, the sounds of several footsteps echoing, "Yeah, we need to go like fuckin' now." you added, the three of you quickly making an exit.
Sam and Dean peered around the corner, checking to make sure the coast was clear, while you pulled off your heels, unable to run in them. The three of you walked casually around the corner, until an alarm started to blare, kicking all of you into high gear.
Dean took off his suit jacket and tossed it over the barbed wire at the top of the fence, Sam climbing over without a problem.
Dean started to climb over, but stopped when you didn't follow, "Sometime today would be nice, Y/N." he said, looking over his shoulder at you.
"I can't climb over in this fuckin' skirt." you said, tossing your heels over the fence. "It's so tight I can barely take a decent step."
"You better hike that thing up, or do whatever you need to do, but you better get your ass over that fence...NOW." Dean said.
"Just don't look." you said, pulling the skirt up until it bunched around your waist, checking to make sure Dean wasn't looking. "I'm serious, Dean. Close your fuckin' eyes. You too, Sam!" you said, preparing to climb over the fence.
"You commando or something?" Dean asked, managing to keep his focus on your face.
"We were supposed to go to a laundry mat, but then Jerry called, and we've been too busy." you said as you climbed the fence, quickly throwing your leg over and making your way down the other side, yanking your skirt down before picking up your heels.
"Well, these monkey suits do come in handy." Dean said, as he landed on the other side of the fence. "Hey, Singer, I think I got a nickel in my pocket. How much you want bet I can bounce it off-" Dean got out before you took off after him.
"I'm going to fuckin' kill you." you seethed, chasing after him.
The three of you were standing inside of Jerry's office. Sam had given him the yellow substance he had collected at the scene and Jerry was now looking at it under a microscope.
"Huh. This stuff is covered in-" Jerry started to say.
"Sulfur." you finished for him, all three of them looking at you.
"Sulfur." Jerry said, still looking at you.
"How did you know that?" Dean asked.
"Lucky guess." you said, shrugging your shoulders.
"You're sure?" Sam asked Jerry.
"Take a look for yourself." Jerry said, loud banging sounds from outside catching his attention. "If you guys will excuse me. I have an idiot to fire." Jerry said before excusing himself from his office, leaving you, Sam, and Dean behind.
Dean took a look through the microscope for himself, "Hmmm. You know, there's not too many things that leave behind a sulfuric residue." he said to Sam before turning to you, "You want to tell us how you really knew that?"
You sighed, "I had a feeling, ok. I mean, with what Max Jaffey said about the guys eyes, and his strength, then the sulfur. I mean, add it all up and it most likely points to one thing." you said.
"Demonic possession?" Sam asked, you nodding your head.
"It would explain how a mortal man would have the strength to open up an emergency hatch." Dean said, looking to you for your opinion.
"If the guy was possessed, it's possible." Sam answered, instead.
"This goes way beyond floating over a bed or barfing pea soup. I mean, it's one thing to possess a person, but to use them to take down an entire plane?" Dean asked, you keeping quiet.
"You ever heard of something like this before?" Sam asked.
"Never." Dean said before turning to you. "You got anything else you want to share with the class, Singer? Any feelings or lucky guesses?" he asked, and you could tell that he was upset that you didn't speak up earlier.
"Dean, I didn't know fore sure, and I thought it was pointless to throw it out there until I knew." you said, a little defensively.
"How...how did you know?" Sam asked.
"Come on, guys. You know my dad. I was flipping through lore books before I could even read, and when I wanted to learn he taught me. It's basically an evil asshole encyclopedia up here." you said, tapping your temple. "Plus, I've worked a couple of possessions with dad, but this isn't a run of the mill possession, so...I'm not a hundred percent sure exactly what we are dealing with, but a demon of some sort is probably behind it."
The three of you were in the motel, all busy researching after you told them everything you knew on the subject.
"So, every religion in every world culture has the concept of demons and demonic possession, right?" Sam asked, looking up from his computer.
"Yeah, Christian, Native American, Hindu, you name it." you said, looking up from the book you were reading.
"Yeah, but none of them describe anything like this." Dean said.
"Well, that's not exactly true." you started before Sam jumped in.
"According to Japanese beliefs, certain demons are behind certain disasters, both natural and manmade. One causes earthquakes, another causes disease." Sam said, looking between you and Dean.
"And this one causes plane crashes?" Dean asked, standing up from his spot on the bed. "All right, so, what? We have a demon that's evolved with the times and found a way to ratchet up the body count?" he asked.
"Yeah, you know, who know how many planes it's brought down before this one?" Sam asked.
You closed your book, "Well, death and destruction is kind of their gig." you said, Dean snorting as he turned away.
"What?" Sam asked.
"I don't know, guys. This isn't our normal gig. I mean, like Y/N said, demons, they don't want anything, just death and destruction for its own sake. This is big, and I wish Dad was here." Dean said, obviously stressed.
"Yeah, me too. "Sam said.
"All right, boys, I know we are kinda up shit's creek without a paddle right now, but we all need to put on our fuckin' big girl panties and figure this shit out because I don't think this asshole is done fucking shit up." you said.
"This coming from the person who certainly wasn't wearing her big girl panties today, or any panties if I remember correctly." Dean said, his phone ringing before you could reply.
"Hello." he said, you and Sam both looking at him, only able to hear Dean's side of the conversation. "Oh, hey, Jerry." Dean said, a sick feeling over taking you. "Wha-Jerry...I'm sorry. What happened?" Dean asked.
You and Sam listened to the rest of the one sided conversation, "Another crash?" Sam asked.
"Yeah. Let's go." Dean replied.
"Guess, I was right about it not being done." you said, grabbing your jacket.
"Where?" Sam asked.
"Nazareth." Dean answered.
"And there's the fuckin' irony." you breathed out.
Jerry was looking through the microscope again, even though the three of you knew what the substance was.
"Sulfur?" Dean asked, Jerry nodding his head. "Well, that's great. All right, that's two plane crashes involving Chuck Lambert. This demon sounds like it was after him." Dean said.
"With all due respect to Chuck, if that's the case, that would be the good news." Sam said.
"Yeah, I wouldn't count on that. I don't think the asshole is done." you said.
"What's the bad news?" Dean asked.
"Chuck's plane went down exactly forty minutes into flight, and get this, so did flight 2485." Sam said.
"And you're sure it was forty minutes for both?" you asked.
"Forty minutes? What does that mean?" Jerry asked.
"It's biblical numerology." you replied.
"You know, Noah's ark, it rained for forty days. The number means death." Dean said, going in to more detail.
"I went back and there have been six plane crashes over the last decade that all went down exactly forty minutes in." Sam said.
"Any survivors?" Dean asked.
"No, or not until now, at least, not until flight 2485, for some reason. On the cockpit voice recorder, remember what the EVP said?" Sam asked, you nodding your head.
"No survivors." Dean said before pausing for a moment to think, "It's going after all the survivors."
"Fuck, it's trying to finish the job." you said, shaking your head.
Dean was driving while Sam was finishing up a phone call. You were in the backseat flipping through John's journal.
"Really, well, thank you for taking our survey, and if you do plan to fly, please don't forget your friends at United Britannia Airlines. Thanks." Sam said before hanging up. "All right, that takes care of Blaine Sanderson and Dennis Holloway. They're not flying anytime soon." he said.
"So, our only wildcard is the flight attendant, Amanda Walker?" Dean asked.
"Right. Her sister Karen said her flight leaves Indianapolis at eight pm. It's her first night back on the job." Sam said.
"Indianapolis, really?" you asked, closing the journal. "I really don't know why I'm surprised." you added.
Dean nodded his head, "That sounds like just our luck." he said.
"Dean, this is a five hour drive, man, even with you behind the wheel." Sam said.
"Call Amanda's cell phone again. See if we can't head her off at the pass." Dean said.
"I already left her three voice messages. She must have turned her cellphone off. God, we're never gonna make it." Sam said.
"We'll make it." Dean said, pushing down on the accelerator, determined to make it in time.
Sam looked over his shoulder at you, "Hold on tight, Sam." you said.
The three of you rushed into the airport and checked the departure board, relieved to see that you had made it in time.
"Right there. They're boarding in thirty minutes." Sam said, pointing to the board.
"Okay. We still have some cards to play. We need to find a phone." Dean said, spotting a courtesy phone.
"Airport services." the person on the other end said.
"Hi, gate thirteen." Dean said.
"Who are you calling, sir?" they asked.
"I'm trying to contact an Amanda Walker. She's a flight attendant on flight, uh, flight 424." Dean said.
"Amanda Walker. Amanda Walker, you have a phone call. White courtesy phone, gate thirteen." the PA voice announced.
"Come on." Dean said, growing impatient.
"This is Amanda Walker." she said.
"Miss Walker. Hi, this is Dr. James Hetfield from St. Francis Memorial Hospital. We have a Karen Walker here." Dean said, you and Sam standing back watching.
"Karen?" Amanda asked.
"Nothing serious, just a minor car accident, but she was injured, so-" Dean got out before Amanda interrupted.
"Wh-what? That's impossible. I just got off the phone with her." she said.
Dean paused for a moment, "You what?" he asked.
"Five minutes ago. She's at her house, cramming for a final. Who is this?" Amanda asked.
"Uh, well...there must be some mistake." Dean said.
"And how would you even know I was here?" Amanda asked, you and Sam trying to stand close enough to Dean to hear what was going on. "Is this one of Vince's friends?"
"Guilty as charged." Dean said, shrugging his shoulders and just going along with her.
"Wow. This is unbelievable." Amanda said.
You looked up at Dean and mouthed, "Say he's sorry."
"He's really sorry." Dean said, following your lead.
"Well, you tell him to mind his own business and stay out of my life, okay?" Amanda ordered.
"He's a mess." you mouthed.
"Don't be like that. Come on, the guy's a mess. Really. it's pathetic." Dean said.
"Really?" Amanda asked, you furiously nodding your head.
"Oh, yeah." Dean said.
"Look, I've got to go. Umm...tell him to call me when I land." she said before hanging up.
"No, no. Wait, Amanda. Amanda!" Dean said.
"Fuck." you shouted, a little louder than you meant to, drawing a few stares.
"Damn it! So close." Dean said.
"Well, I guess we have one option left." you said.
Sam nodded his head, "It's time for plan B. We're getting on that plane." he said.
"Yep." you said.
"Whoa, whoa, now just hold on a second." Dean said, wide eyed.
"We don't really have a second, De. We need to haul ass." you said.
"Dean, that plane is leaving with over a hundred passengers on board, and if we're right, that plane is gonna crash." Sam said.
"I know." Dean said.
"Okay, so, we're getting on the plane. We need to find that demon and exorcise it. I'll get the tickets. You and Y/N get whatever will make it through security. Meet me back here in five minutes." Sam said, laying out a game plan.
You nodded your head, and grabbed Dean's arm, ready to pull him back to the car, "Hey, come on. It's gonna be ok." you said, as he stood in one spot looking between you and Sam anxiously.
"Are you okay?" Sam asked.
"No, not really." Dean said.
"What?" What's wrong?" Sam asked.
"Well, I kind of have this problem with, uh..." Dean trailed off.
"Flying." you finished for him before looking over to Sam. "He's scared to fly."
"It's never been a problem until now." Dean said.
"You're joking, right?" Sam asked.
You shook your head, "He's not." you said.
"Do I look like I'm joking? Why do you think I drive everywhere, Sam?" Dean asked.
"All right, uh, Y/N and I'll go." Sam said.
"Ok, I'll go get what we need and I'll meet you back here. We need to get this show on the road." you said, turning to walk away.
"What?" Dean asked.
"We'll do this one on our own." Sam said.
"We'll be fine, De. Don't worry." you said.
"Don't worry? What are you guys, nuts? You said it yourself, the plane is gonna crash." Dean said, looking between the two of you.
"What else do you want us to do?" you asked.
Sam nodded his head, "Dean, we can do it all together, or Y/N and I can do this one ourselves. I'm not seeing a third option here." Sam said.
"Come on! Really? Fuck." Dean said.
"Flight attendants please cross check doors before departure." the voice over the intercom said.
Dean was in the aisle seat, anxiously reading the safety card while you sat next to him, Sam on the other side of you.
"Just try to relax." Sam said, taking note of how nervous Dean was.
"Just try to shut up." Dean snapped, the plane taking off, Dean jumping at every rumble and sound.
You grabbed his hand and laced your fingers with his, "You're fine." you said, Dean squeezing your hand tightly as you started to hum, laying your head on his shoulder.
"You're humming Metallica?" Sam asked.
"It calms him down." you said, resuming your humming after speaking.
"Dude, did you just sniff her head?" Sam asked.
"W-what? No, that's crazy. I-I was just trying to take a deep breath. You know, relax." Dean lied, a smile coming to your face.
He had let it slip once when he was drunk that he loved the smell of your shampoo. He said it always calmed him down, so you would often lay your head on his shoulder when he was stressed, giving him the opportunity to breathe you in, never mentioning to him that you knew what he was doing.
"Look, man, I get you're nervous, all right? You got to say focused." Sam said.
"Okay." Dean replied.
"I mean, we got thirty two minutes and counting to track this thing down, or whoever it's possessing, anyway, and perform a full on exorcism." Sam said.
"No pressure, huh?" you breathed out, feeling a little nervous that there wasn't going to be enough time.
"Yeah, on a crowded plane. That's gonna be easy." Dean said, still holding onto your hand.
"Let's just take it one step at a time, all right? Now, who is it possessing?" Sam asked.
"Well, usually they go for someone with some sort of weakness. They can worm their way in like that." you said.
"Ok, so somebody with an addiction or some sort of emotional distress." Dean said.
"Yet, another reason for you to try to chill the fuck out. I really don't want this thing jumpin' into you." you said, Dean nodding his head.
"Well, this is Amanda's first flight after the crash. If I were her I'd be pretty messed up." Sam said.
"Yeah, that's true." you said, Dean humming in agreement.
"Excuse me, are you Amanda?" Dean asked the flight attendant next to him.
"No, I'm not." She answered.
"Oh, my mistake." he said, the flight attendant walking away, Dean looking to the back of the plane, "All right, well, that's got to be Amanda back there, so I'll go talk to her, and I, uh, I'll get a read on her mental state." Dean said.
"You sure? I can do it." you said, worried about him.
"I can do it. I...I need to move around." he said, finally releasing your hand.
"What if she's already possessed?" Sam asked.
"There's ways to test that." Dean said, pulling out a bottle of holy water, "I brought holy water."
"Yeah, let's not do that just yet." you said, taking the bottle from him and passing it to Sam.
"I think we can go more subtle. If she's possessed she'll flinch at the name of God." Sam said.
"Oh, nice." Dean said, turning to go to the back.
"Hey." you said, stopping him.
"What?" he asked.
"Say it in Latin." you said.
"I know." Dean said, a little annoyed.
"Hey!" Sam called out.
"What?!" Dean snapped.
"Uh, in Latin, it's Christo." Sam said.
"Guys, I know! I'm not an idiot!" Dean said before making his way to the back of the plane.
You turned in your seat, watching him walk away, "Maybe I should go with him, back him up." you said, starting to rise from your seat.
Sam put his hand on your shoulder, "He can do it." he said, "We need to go over the rest of the plan."
"Fine." you sighed, taking one last look at Dean before turning your attention to Sam, "You got John's journal?" you asked.
"Yeah, here.” Sam said, passing it over to you.
You flipped through the pages until you found what you were looking for, "I'm thinking this should work." you said, passing it back to Sam.
"You think?" Sam asked.
"Sorry, I'm not a fuckin' expert, Sam." you snapped, immediately regretting it, "Sorry, I...demons just weird me out. They...I just really fuckin' hate em', and I want to get this shit done." you said, Dean sitting down next to you before Sam could reply.
"All right, well, she's got to be the most well adjusted person on the planet." Dean said.
"Good for her." you sarcastically said.
"You said Christo?" Sam asked.
"Yeah." Dean replied.
"And?" Sam asked, needing more details.
"There's no demon in her. There's no demon getting in her." Dean replied.
"So, if it's on the plane it can be anyone, anywhere." Sam said, the plane shaking.
"Come on! That can't be normal!" Dean shouted, gripping onto your arm.
"Hey, hey, it's just a little turbulence." Sam said.
"Yeah, it's okay." you said, prying his fingers from your arm.
"Guys, this plane is going to crash, okay? So, quit treating me like I'm fucking four." Dean said.
"Well, stop acting like you're fucking four." you said.
"Yeah, you need to calm down." Sam said.
"Well, I'm sorry. I can't." Dean said, reaching for your hand.
"Yes, you can." Sam said.
"Dude, stow the touchy feely, self help yoga crap. It's not helping." Dean said.
"Listen, if you're panicked, you're wide open to demonic possession, so you need to calm yourself down, right now." Sam warned.
"Fuck, he's right, Dean, just breath or something." you said.
"Yeah, cause that has helped me. I've been breathing this whole fuckin' time in case you hadn't noticed." Dean sassed.
"God damn it." you said under your breath before turning in your seat to face him, "You owe me."
"For what?" Dean asked, confused.
"For the drastic measures I'm about to take to save your ass." you said, grabbing his shirt and pulling him to you, crashing your lips to his.
You felt him tense up for a moment, his lips not moving as if he were in a state of shock. You started to pull back, thinking that you may have crossed a line, but before you could pull away you felt his hand on the back of your neck, holding you in place.
The kiss quickly started to heat up, Dean's tongue running along your bottom lip, begging for entrance. You opened your mouth, Dean wasting no time deepening the kiss.
Sam cleared his throat loudly, "Guys." he said.
You pulled away from Dean, "Sorry, Sam." you said, before focusing your attention on Dean. "You good now? You calm?" you asked.
Dean took a long, slow breath, "I'm so fuckin' good." he said, his words coming out a little breathy.
You tapped his cheek a couple of times, "You're welcome." you said.
Sam cleared his throat again, "Good. Now, we found an exorcism in here that we think will work. The Rituale Romanum." Sam said to Dean.
"What do we have to do?" Dean asked.
"Well...it's two parts." you started, Sam jumping in to say the rest.
"The first part expels the demon from the victim's body. It makes it manifest which actually makes it more powerful." Sam explained.
"More powerful?" Dean asked.
"Yep." you said, popping the p.
"How?" Dean asked.
"Well, it doesn't need to possess someone anymore. It can just wreak havoc on its own." Sam said.
"Oh, and why is that a good thing?" Dean asked.
"Well, cause the second part sends that fucker back to hell once and for all." you said.
Dean nodded his head, "First things first, we got to find it." Dean said before standing up to walk the aisle with his EMF meter, getting odd looks, but no readings.
You and Sam walked up behind him, you clapping him on the shoulder causing him to jump, "Ah! Don't do that." Dean scolded.
"Sorry." you said.
"Anything?" Sam asked.
"No, nothing. How much time do we got?" Dean asked.
"Fifteen minutes. Maybe, we missed somebody." you said, looking around at the other passengers.
"Maybe the things just not on the plane." Dean said, causing you to scoff.
"You believe that?" Sam asked.
"Well, I will if you guys will." Dean said, looking down as the EMF meter spiked, the copilot exiting the bathroom and heading towards the cockpit.
"Christo." you blurted out, the copilot slowly turning to face you, his eyes black, "Fuck." you whispered as he went into the cockpit.
The three of you headed to the back of the plane towards Amanda.
"She's not gonna believe this." Sam said.
"We don't really have a choice, Sam." you said.
"Yeah, twelve minutes, dude." Dean said.
"Oh, hi, flight's not too bumpy for you, I hope." Amanda said to Dean.
"Actually, that's kind of what we need to talk to you about." Dean said, Sam closing the curtain behind you.
"Um, okay. What can I do for you?" Amanda asked.
"All right, this is gonna sound nuts, but we just don't have the time for the whole truth is out there speech right now." Dean said.
"Look, we just really need you to listen to us right now, and for you to keep an open mind." you added.
"All right, look, we know you were on flight 2485." Sam said, the friendly smile Amanda had disappearing.
"Who are you guys?" she asked.
"That's not important right now." you said.
"Now, we've spoken to some of the other survivors. We know something brought down that plane and it wasn't a mechanical failure." Sam said.
"We need your help because we need to stop it form happening again, here. Now." Dean said.
"I'm sorry, I-I'm very busy. I have to go back-" she said as she tried to brush past Dean, who stopped her.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, wait a second. I'm not gonna hurt you, okay? Listen to me. Uh...the pilot on 2485, Chuck Lambert. He's dead." Dean said.
"Wait, what? Chuck is dead?" she asked.
"He died in a plane crash. Now, that's two plane crashes in two months. That doesn't strike you as a little fuckin' strange?" you asked.
"Look, there was something wrong with 2485. Now, maybe you sensed it, maybe you didn't, but there's something wrong with this flight, too." Sam said.
"Amanda you have to believe us." Dean said.
"On...on 2485, there was this man. He...had these eyes." Amanda said.
"Black eyes?" you asked, Amanda nodding her head.
"Yes. That's exactly what we're talking about." Sam said.
"I don't understand. What are you asking me to do?" Amanda asked.
"Okay. The copilot, we need you to bring him back here." Dean said.
"Why? What does he have to do with anything?" Amanda asked.
"Oh, come on, lady." you said, frustrated.
"Don't have time to explain. We just need to talk to him, okay?" Dean said.
"How am I supposed to go in the cockpit and get the copilot?" she asked.
"Do whatever it takes. Tell him there's something broken back here, whatever will get him out of that cockpit." Sam said.
"Do you know that I could lose my job if you-" she started to say before you interrupted.
"Jesus Christ, lady! You're job is the last thing you should be worrying about." you said, your patience for her gone.
"Look, you're gonna lose a lot more if you don't help us out." Dean said.
Amanda hesitated for a moment, "Okay." she said, leaving and making her way to the cockpit.
"All right, boys. Here they come." you said, Sam pulling out the holy water, and Dean passing over John's journal to him.
"Yeah, what's the problem?" the copilot asked.
Dean punched him in the face, and knocked him down. The two of you pinned him down, you holding his legs down while Dean managed to put duct tape over his mouth.
"Wait? What are you doing? You said you were just gonna talk to him." Amanda said.
"Relax lady." you said, struggling to keep the copilot still.
"We are gonna talk to him." Dean said, splashing holy water on him, his skin sizzling.
"Oh, my God. What's wrong with him?" she asked.
"Get her the fuck out of here, Sam." you snapped.
"Look, we need you calm. We need you outside the curtain." Sam said.
"Well, I don't underst- I don't know." she stammered out.
"Don't let anybody in, okay? Can you do that? Can you do that, Amanda?" Sam asked.
"Okay. Okay." she said before leaving.
"Hurry up, Sam. I don't know how much longer we can hold him." Dean said.
"Regna terrae, Cantate Deo, psalute Domino-" Sam said, stopping when the demon broke free, hitting both boys until you and Dean managed to subdue him again.
Sam picked up where he left off, until the demon knocked both you and Dean off again and pulled the tape from his mouth, reaching to grab Sam by the collar.
"I know what happened to your girlfriend. She must have died screaming. Even now, she's burning." the demon said before turning to you, "And you, oh, we have plans for you." he said, Dean recovering and hitting the demon.
"Sam!" you and Dean shouted, you now trying to help Dean hold him down.
Sam recovered and began reading again. He put the book down, and helped the two of you pin down the demon, who kicked the book up the aisle.
"I got him." Sam said, the demon exiting the copilot's body and disappearing into a vent.
"Where'd it go?" Sam asked.
"It's in the plane." Dean said.
"Fuck, boys. We gotta hurry up and finish this. We're running out of time." you said.
The plane suddenly dipped and heaved violently, Sam struggling to retrieve the book as Dean splayed himself against the exit door, screaming, while you were pressed to his chest, his arms coming to wrap around you.
Sam managed to grab the book and read the rest of the exorcism, a bright electrical charge running through the entire plane when he finished, the plane leveling out soon after.
Dean was breathing heavily, holding onto you so tight that you could hardly breathe, "De...I...can't breathe." you said, Dean loosening his hold a little.
The passengers from the flight were disembarking to an area, milling with uniformed agents, paramedics, FBI, FAA, and so on. The copilot was seated in a wheelchair, a blanket wrapped around him, being questioned by an FAA agent.
Amanda spotted the three of you across the way and mouthed thank you, the three of you nodding at her.
"Let's get out of here." Dean said, as the three of you headed to the exit. "You okay?" he asked Sam.
"Dean, it knew about Jessica, and it said they had plans for Y/N." Sam said.
"Sam, these things, they...they read minds. They lie, all right. That's all it was." Dean said.
"He's right, Sam. Those assholes will say whatever they can to get inside your head. They just like fuckin' with people." you said, not revealing that you were scared about what it had said about you.
"Yeah." Sam said.
"Come on." Dean said, urging you and Sam to follow.
"Nobody knows what you guys did, but I do. A lot of people could have been killed." Jerry said, shaking each of your hands. "Your dad's gonna be real proud. Yours too, Y/N." he said.
"We'll see you around, Jerry." Sam said.
"Maybe wait a little while before the next call." you teased.
"You know, Jerry." Dean said.
"Yeah." Jerry replied.
"I meant to ask you, how did you get my cellphone number, anyway? I've only had it for like six months." Dean said.
"Your dad gave it to me." Jerry said.
"What?" you and Sam asked in unison.
"You talked to John?" you asked.
"When did you talk to him?" Dean asked before Jerry could answer you.
"I mean, I didn't exactly talk to him, but I called his number. His voice message said to give you or Y/N a call. Thanks again, guys." Jerry said before walking away.
"This doesn't make any sense, guys. I've called Dad's number like fifty times. It's been out of service." Sam said, as Dean dialed John's number, all of you crowding around the phone to listen.
"This is John Winchester. I can't be reached. If this is an emergency call my son, Dean (785) 555-0179 or Y/N Singer (785) 555-0726. They can help." John said.
Sam was fuming as he got into the car, you and Dean both looking after him.
"What the fuck in going on, De?" you asked.
"I wish I knew, Sweetheart." he said, as the two of you got into the car, hoping that the next case would provide some much needed answers.
