I am so sorry guys, I was just looking at this story last night and realized the epilogue was never posted. I don't really know how that happened. Well if anyone still cares here it is :)
Epilogue
Sam glanced at Dean out of the corner of his eye. Dean hadn't really said a word to him since they left that field. Last night's conversation had mostly limited itself to necessary conversation about dinner, hotel etc. This morning Dean was gone before he woke up and returned with breakfast. Both had agreed to get as far away from here as possible so now they were back on the road.
The music wasn't blasting but Sam reached forward anyway and turned it way down.
"Now what?" Sam said quietly.
Dean glanced away from the road "Now what what?"
"That's not a sentence Dean."
"Well… what do you mean now what?" Dean paused but Sam didn't answer. "I thought we'd head for New Mexico check on those Indian burial grounds we heard about a month ago."
"That's not what I mean…"
Dean sighed, "Then what do you mean?"
"My powers aren't fully back yet… but what happens when they are?"
"If the others show up to get you. I'll kill 'em for you."
Sam smirked. "All of them?"
"Yep." Dean nodded eyes still glued to the road.
"What about me?" Sam said quietly.
"I might save you one or two." Dean swallowed trying to keep this light.
Sam shook his head and looked right at Dean. "No… what are you going to do about me?"
Dean slowed down and pulled the car over to the side of the road earning a few honks from surrounding cars. At least it wasn't a deserted road this time. Now that they were stopped he couldn't think of what to say. "Nothing."
"Nothing? That's your plan?" Sam threw up his hands in exasperation. "I could kill you Dean! Hell I almost did. I would have enjoyed it too."
Dean met his eyes carefully. "But you didn't."
"Not this time…."
Dean cut him off, "not any time."
Sam didn't answer just staring straight down the road.
"Look Sam, I don't know what kind of plan you think I can make. Even if you don't have all your powers back you still have enough. You want me to keep you handcuffed? Chain you up at night? I know damn well you can get out of both evil or not. As you pointed out you could take me down anytime, so the only way I can kill you is if you let me, and I sure as hell am not going to kill you while your letting me. If you go evil there won't be any way for me to kill you so what's the point of planning?"
Sam glanced at Dean surprised that Dean was aware of how much power he still had. He had only tried a few things and that was while Dean was out getting breakfast. He was able to move most of the furniture in the room and even managed to get the room service gal to drop a stack of towels. He couldn't latch on to people outside of his view and he could only catch glimpses of what people were thinking if they were really emotional. How did Dean know? "You got back early?"
"I heard stuff moving around and saw the bed moving around, you really should close the drapes next time you decide to go all Martha Stewart on the room."
Sam's smile was only for show, "Why didn't you tell me you saw?"
"Figured there was a reason you didn't want me to know."
Sam nodded, "I didn't…. want things to be different between us."
"Huh?"
"I don't want you to think I'm a freak…"
"I already know you're a freak. Were both freaks. Your just freakier because you can fling people into walls and stuff."
"I won't though…. Fling you into walls and stuff. I don't want to hurt you. I can control this for now… unless I go evil."
"Fair enough…it's only the freakiness that would let you win you know. In a fair fight I could kick your ass. Can we go now? Cause if were going to keep going all mushy here I'm thinking you're going to need some Kleenex its gross when you use your sleeve."
"I haven't done that since I was 9."
"19." Dean smiled and started the engine.
"Dean…" Sam let out a long suffering sigh as Dean pulled back on the road. Dean turned back up the music and started singing along.
Sam settled back into the seat and leaned his head back. Sam could feel Dean's happiness. This was where Dean felt safe and feeling that made Sam feel safe too. For now.
