Hunter. Soldier. Savior.

Sam Winchester Hunter 41 Well, I mean... guys like us, we're not exactly the type of people they write about in history books, you know? But the people we saved, they're our legacy. And they'll remember us and then I guess... we'll eventually fade away, too. That's fine, because we left the world better than we found it, you know.

“Waitress?” Beth repeated, a little thrown off by the question. “Uhh, no. I just got here, sorry.” She gave the extremely tall man a brief once-over before returning her gaze to the ground. He looked familiar, although she couldn’t quite place it. “Sorry, do I know you from somewhere?” She probably should have if he’d seen Lia anywhere, or possibly even Lucia, but she couldn’t shake the feeling that this was important. Whatever ‘this’ was.

This diner had a habit of being ridiculously busy around this time which would have bothered the hunter, but he found himself there more often than he’d ever like to admit. Days like this, he wasn’t even sure his waitress remembered him, but he supposed there were worse things than waiting. “Do you-” He frowned, offering her a light shake of the head. “Sorry, I don’t think so.” But it was almost never a coincidence for Sam, when someone asked that. If she recognized him, it was for his day job, which meant she was probably dangerous.

“Of course dad.” Well, that still felt weird to say and it’d been months. She wondered if she’d ever get used to it. “Lets see… there’s his dad Jason-I’m unsure on him though cause he shot Tristan once but then he sacrificed his life for Matt-of course he came back because this is Sioux Falls so its really up to Tristan. but also he has younger twin brothers Matt and Connor.”

It still felt weird to hear, even though he should have been used to it by now. Good weird, though. He was getting used to it. “I’ve heard of him, quite the reputation in the community. Well, we’ve all got our skeletons.” Sam said, trying for grin-and-bear it attitude (what family knew more about sacrificing and backstabbing and secrets than theirs after all?) but it came off a little too flippant. “I mean, I understand either way, it sounds like there have been a lot of circumstances effecting Tristan’s relationship with his dad, it would make sense if he didn’t want him there.” Sam nodded. “I’ve met Matt, he’s a good kid. A little troubled, but aren’t they all? I haven’t met Connor, though.”

mary blushed slightly and looked down for a moment, before she looked up at sam and cleared her throat. “your dad and i have– reconnected.” she said, shaking her head and chuckling before placing her hand over her mouth. “and i really shouldn’t be telling you about it.” 

“Oh y-you have?” Sam chuckled, a little surprised, but pleased none-the-less. “Say no more, I don’t need the details. We’ll reinstate the rules Dad made for us back in high school: as long as you’re being safe and are happy, we don’t have to talk about it.” It was good to hear that his parents had found each other again, a relief knowing that John’s life goal had finally been achieved--though several years after his dead. Maybe the man would finally feel whole again. Sam could only hope.

She convulsed at him calling her Ruby, disgust written clear on her face. “What am I–I’m not anything other then human if thats what you think. Well I was resurrected but that hasn’t changed me. “My name is Sally Lualdi.” She introduced herself. “Not that you ever cared to find out before I was standing right before your eyes.”

“Right, of course. You’re a human. Of course.” Still, he had seen her die, and since being resurrected won out maybe half the time over being a supernatural creature, it felt smart to check. “So you....Right. I’m sure the adjustment has been tough.” What was he even supposed to say to her? “I’m sorry, Sally, I really am. My brother and I--we were focused on different things. We shouldn’t have let the demon keep using you.”

“Of all people… you just had to be here..” Of course a lot of her hate (and there was so much fury in her) was directed at those who had possessed her. Lilith, who used her lips to giggle as a man died (even if that man could of and didn’t save her), and Ruby… who took her away from her sister, her parents and her home. Sam Winchester was a close third for her most hated list. “Do you even recognize me?” There was venom in her tone. “Here’s a reminder. Your demon girlfriend took me out for a joy ride, then Lilith did and then I died.“

“I--Ruby! Sorry, not Ruby. I know you aren’t Ruby.” Sam cleared his throat, still a little shaken from seeing the woman. “What are you--who are you? I mean, how are you here?” He was a little thrown by her aggression, but it made sense. If a supernatural entity had spent months riding around in him, he’d be upset, too. In fact, he had been when it happened to him.

“Nope, the reason is exclusive to one and thats because you’re my dad.” she teased him. her lips pressed together at his words, he wasn’t wrong. “i…” she wanted to argue but couldn’t bring herself too. “alright.” she said finally. she laughed. “it’ll only be family i think.”

“Well, okay. You believe that. I’ll argue some other time.” She was a teenager, they were supposed to be stubborn, right? “Good. Just keep me up to date about the details, okay?” He wanted to make this as special for her as possible. “That sounds nice. How many members of Tristan’s family are in town?”

“okay, yes, one witch did some weird shit in a human story. but according to humans, vampires also sparkle and werewolves are actually skinwalkers without infectious bites. and can’t forget about how every human girl should wanna fall in love with both and have to choose.” yes, she’d seen twilight, so sue her. it was the most advertised movie series around when she was younger, and it had been way too amusing to point out how stupid it was. “yeah, it is. but chloe and i are actually eighteen. no magic helping us just yet.” she wasn’t offended by the question, how could she be, when both her parents were hundreds of years old? “sorry to disappoint.”

“That’s my point. The idea humans have of witches can be very different from the idea that witches have about witches. Or any creature, really. They don’t know enough to know they’re wrong.” And that was the Winchesters fought to protect. “Huh.” That meant Rowena had been procreating right before they met her, a strange thought. “Yet? You’re making plans to change that in the future?” He shook his head. He hadn’t been expecting anything from the girl, or her mother. “Don’t be.”

“i haven’t met the fiance yet, but i’m suppose i’ll have to introduce myself soon.” mary said, pulling back from the hug and looking up at her youngest son. “what about you, sam? have you met anyone?”

“He’s a good kid, I’m sure you’ll like him. Although if you don’t meet him soon, the first introduction might be at their wedding. He and Diana seem pretty insistent that it’s going to happen soon.” He smiled at her, and shook his head. “Not really. I haven’t really had time for a serious relationship since college. Maybe someday. But right now I need to focus on my kids. Have you...You know.” It was weird to ask, and even worse since a part of Sam hoped that she and John might be able to make it work one day.

“You’re only saying that because you’re my dad.” She chided playfully. Her lips fell agape at his words momentarily before she began to shake her head. “you don’t have to do that dad.” She declared. Still she found herself laughing. “Okay, thats true.”

“Can’t I be saying it because I’m your dad and because it’s true?” He said with a smile. It was obvious he wasn’t doing much to improve her belief in her taste. “I want to. I missed every other important moment in your life, I want to do something for you here. Besides, Tristan definitely doesn’t have a way to pay for it, and I want you to have everything you want. Well, we don’t have to invite everyone. There might not be space.”

“You know it doesn’t work that way,” he tried not to interfere more than he had to.   Did he know? Yes, of course he did but that was why there was free will.  It wouldn’t be free will if he went around making people do things or forcefully setting the course.  

“Because you’ve decided it works that way.” But he knew Chuck was right. He knew that this was what he and Dean had fought for, and it would be hypocritical of him to ask for anything else. “Fine. I understand, even if I don’t like it.”

“I can’t.  I can’t risk my family because of what I am,” everyday he was gone he wanted to go home.  He wanted to see his parents again.  It was about more than what he wanted.  "Teleporting, I hadn’t really done much other than that.“  He wasn’t going to say that he never used his powers because that would be a lie.  It had used his powers a little more than he used to within the barrier.

“I’m sorry.” He gave the younger man a sad smile. One of the worst parts of the job was the knowledge that you couldn’t save everybody the way you wanted to. “I hope one day you’ll be able to.” It wasn’t much--honestly it wasn’t anything--but it was all Sam could say. He had no promises or solutions. “Well, teleporting certainly comes in handy. Just don’t try going out of the barrier. I’m sure you already know that, but it never hurts to be reminded.”

[the-flannel-hunter]

keepitrockin :

“It sounds like you had a good time, actually,” it probably wasn’t a good time to joke about it.  "I think you’d make a great dad.“  They had tried to take care of him.  Even after turning that angel into that doll.  

He shrugged, "The one place I liked I couldn’t go back to.  Still think about it though.”  He was sure that wasn’t answer Sam was looking for.  "It just came naturally.“

Sam laughed. “Well, I guess you aren’t wrong, there.” The kid didn’t need the whole story of Jess’s death, and Dean had insisted he try to lighten up back then. “Thanks, Jesse. I appreciate that.” It was nice to hear from a kid Sam was pretty sure had been let down heavily by them.

“Sometimes that happens. I’m sorry.” He tried sympathizing. It had been the same for him, after leaving Stanford. They’d kept a pretty wide distance from the area for quite some time. “Maybe you’ll get to go back one day. Have you used your powers much since you were a kid?”

“Not the whole time but I’ve been here for a while,” he wasn’t sure that Sam would see that as a good thing.  He had been there and hadn’t done anything about the barrier.

“Think you could give me any insight into who might be doing this?” It was a long-shot, but he had to try. Chuck was technically god after all, even if he didn’t act much like it. If anyone might know, it would be him.

[the-flannel-hunter]

dianaxwinchester :

“Lets hope.” She grimaced. “I’ve never been too good at the fashion thing to be honest.” She chuckled. “Well now I feel a bit rushed when you say it like that. Thats just what I want though, I don’t know what Tristan wants. We’ve got to talk about it.” She considered his words. “I… think so. Nothing big though, just family. At least thats what I want.”

“I think the way you dress is fine.” But that was hardly a compliment coming from your father, who had owed the same six shirts since 2010. “No, I’m not trying to rush you. I’m definitely not trying to do that. I just want to make sure you get everything you dreamed of. I think it’s technically my job to be paying for this stuff, anyway, right?” He didn’t mind at all, but he’d need to start hustling pool again if he was going to cover the costs. Purgatory didn’t exactly have an exchange rate for moments of fear to dollars yet. “Well, with our family, it’ll be big either way.”

[the-flannel-hunter]

magicandlayla :

“um, no, i think the stereotype is demons eating babies. i have never seen a witch eat a human at all, much less a baby.” she rolled her eyes at the taller man, but hey, what did she really expect from a hunter, right? “well, considering we’re a good three hundred years younger than fergus, it’s not like she had to handle all three at once.” the girl smirked at him in amusement. “that i am. well, it’s not my place to tell you anything so, you’ll have to try to read her a bit more.”

“You’d be surprised what humans come up with, without any basis in fact. Have you heard the story of Hansel and Gretel? A great example of humans writing stories about witches and not bothering to write anything real. Probably because witches aren’t supposed to be real, but that’s a technicality.” Sam made a face close to a smile, and nodded. “That’s quite the age difference. Are you two...actually teenagers, or do you just look like it?” There was no shame in asking when it came to a supernatural creature. Half of them were younger than or older than they appeared. “Right, I shouldn’t have bothered asking.”

mary smiled and leaned into sam so that she could wrap her arms around him and hug him. she still wasn’t so used to her 6″4 son, being so much taller than him and wide enough that her arms barely fit around his shoulder. but she loved to hold him anyway, because as far as she was concerned, he was still her baby boy.

Sam leaned into the hug, enjoying the contact. He’d had limited chances to embrace his mother since coming back, and even fewer to truly enjoy the hugs. “If you’ve met the girls, have you met Diana’s fiance? He’s a nice kid, especially for a werewolf.”

[the-flannel-hunter]

dianaxwinchester :

“Me either really.” She grimaced. “And so am I! We worked things out.” She grinned. “A date? Oh… not yet. Hopefully soon? There’s not a rush but I do want it to happen sooner then later.”

“Well, you know what you like better than anyone else. I’m sure you’ll pick something great.” He reassured her. “That’s great. You two seemed so strong, I’m glad that wasn’t thrown away. Soon? Well, you’ve got to pick a dress quickly, then. Where are you thinking of having the ceremony?” If it were Sam, he’d just go to the courthouse and sign some papers, but he had a feeling they wanted it to be a little more romantic than that.
