Supernatural: The Return of Jacob Pond
I was just discussing at Supernatural Insider something about what characters from the past in Supernatural we'd like to see return.
What would you all think of a story idea like this one? It's about the return of Jacob Pond, Amy Pond's kitsune son who swore to get revenge on Dean.
I'd tell a much more complex and interesting story than just a simple one of Jacob chasing Dean for revenge. Perhaps something like the following:
As the witches were gathering to help fight Amara, one among them, acting on her own and in desperation, cast a spell which freed a really deadly and powerful ancient creature from a magical prison it was in, a creature she was hoping to use to help fight Amara. She lost control of the situation, however, and the creature killed her and is still on the loose. Now, it's out there hunting and killing every kitsune it can find.
The reason why: the only way to destroy it is with a platinum arrow dipped in the blood of a kitsune. Seeking to render itself indestructible, the creature, which is also deadly and dangerous to humans, is trying to destroy all of the kitsune everywhere. And one of the story elements I'd put in is that a kitsune cannot touch platinum, so none of them can destroy the creature. It has to be done by someone else.
Enter Jacob Pond. A teenager now, he's gotten his girlfriend pregnant and has a son. He, his girlfriend, and his son were attacked by the creature and only barely escaped it with their lives and are on the run.
Jacob knows one person who may be able to help him save himself and his girlfriend and son and destroy the creature. The man upon whom he swore to avenge his mother. Dean Winchester. Dean, who feels some guilt at having killed Jacob's mother and is inwardly a bit bothered about the entire situation. Having just gotten his and Sam's mother back into their lives after so many years, he feels an unexpected empathy for Jacob's loss of his mother at Dean's hands.
The creature, as it hunts down and destroys every kitsune it can find, is also killing humans. Jacob and Dean need each other and have to put aside the animosity between them to stop the creature.
And this story happens, if it were up to me, right after the events of the last episode of Season 11. Sam has been shot and taken prisoner back to England by the woman from the British Men of Letters chapter. Dean and Mary are about to try and go to rescue Sam from them, knowing the British MOL want to also capture Dean, then bring him and Sam to trial before a Men of Letters tribunal.
