so I keep finding parts of fics I have started, here is a WIP I am keen to finish ------
His sons are adults. He knows that. He is protective of them, but he knows he trained them well, he raised them well. He raised Dean well anyway… But John, on a whim, decided to go visit his sons. It is hard hearing things about them, hunters talk and gossip more than school moms. He knows he should talk to them more, but they don't really want much to do with him after the whole 'left for a year or so and didn't want to talk to them, and then came back and vaguely helped them kill the thing that killed their mother because of my own arrogance interfering.'
And now... He has heard the rumours.
Sam got hurt, really badly hurt. Sam died. Then he was back. Dean had traded his soul, he made a deal at the crossroads, and he died. He was in Hell, and the world was ending. Someone was leaving a constant trail of omens behind them, it was said to be Lilith, but seriously, Lilith? Dean was spotted a few months ago, not dead, and not in hell. So, he mustn't have died and gone to hell? Neither did Sam, these hunters were unbelievable. SOMEONE would have contacted him if both his sons died?
And he has heard other rumours.
"- They were fucking in the back of the car, I swear! I saw it man."
"Shut the fuck up, you did not see the Winchester brothers going at it?!"
"Yeah, I did. Something isn't right about those brothers… Not since -"
"You know he is full occult right?"
"Who? Dean?"
"No, Sam. Talks to the Devil and everything, Dean has a two way radio with Angels, but Sam communicates down below."
"The Devil isn't real?"
"I've seen some shit while around them dude…"
"I've heard that too, full whoring himself out for a fix?"
"Fix of what?"
"Well, Alex in Kansas said heroin, but I heard from Smith in Palo Alto, you know him? Yeah, that it was some shit like.. Blood?"
"Smith said he was sucking on blood, no shit. Demon. Blood."
