Chapter 17: Fare thee well

"One of these days,

It won't be long

You'll call my name

And I'll be gone

Fare thee well, oh honey, fare thee well

Fare thee well" (as performed by Robert Benedict)

Each and every pair of Winchesters had to cover their ears, even the angel couldn't withstand the loud scream, shout, that high-pitched noise Chuck let out as he completely dissolved, his essence parted into two and it was sucked inside the Marks. The action caused both Jay and Jack to cry out in pain and drop on their knees, and as much as most of the people there wanted to run to them and hold them, comfort them, no one dared move.

Both Jack and Jay, both in mirror mode grabbed their Mark with their other hand and jerked their head backwards as they absorbed the last of the light and then fell forward, setting their hand in front of them, barely catching themselves in time from falling face down on the dirt.

"The Hell with it!" Dean said and broke the line, rushing towards them, Sam immediately followed. Dean came between them, setting one hand on Jay's shoulder, the other on Jacks, looking between them both. As soon as the others saw it was in fact safe to break the stand, they moved closer to the boys, worry on most of the faces.

Jack looked up at Dean with a smile that said 'we did it. We saved the world'. But Jay... Jay looked at the comforting hand on his shoulder before moving his gaze to the hunter in front of him, frowning in confusion. There was evident worry on Dean's face, but there was also slight pride in his eyes and Jay never thought he'd see that in any version of Dean.

"You guys ok? Did... Did it work?" Sam asked when Dean failed to let the words out, and both nephilims looked up at him smiling.

"Yeah. It worked." Jay said as the boys got up and watched both Sam and Dean sigh in relief. There were glad, happy faces almost all around, no one could believe they actually pulled it off.

"Smart thinking, Jay. - Castiel said proudly – Using telepathy to tell everyone what to do, instead of saying it."

"If I said it, I wouldn't have been following the book, and I realized I had to follow it if I wanted it to work. I realized that when I had to yelled at you. Sorry, Dean, but I had to make you cry." There was evident regret in Jay's eyes, at yet, his lips quirked in a slight devilish smile. Dean just waved it off, a bit embarrassed and unwilling to be reminded of that moment of weakness.

"What about us? What about our worlds?" GDean spoke with a low tone and a serious face. "You... you said you would make Him change it back, fix it all..." There was an unspoken plead in his voice, a hope that Jay could still fix it, that he could set it back the way it was.

"I did. - Jay responded with His head high – I did say I was going to make Him a deal, the worlds for His freedom, but I... We... – he said looking at Jack – We agreed that He didn't deserve that kind of mercy. He didn't deserve that freedom. He didn't deserve..."

Jay trailed off lifting his hand high in the air, his thumb set right against his middle finger. And as he said "He didn't deserve... This." Jay snapped his fingers, and the night turned to day.

The night turned to day, sun replaced the clouds. Green bloomed from the trees and there was a distant sound of the birds chirping. A red line tore the sky and red lightning struck the ground somewhere in front of them. The distant chirps turned into distant screams that came rushing towards their location.

Millions upon millions of souls we being called back, sucked up into the void, into the hole on the ground, forced back to their rightful place in Hell. Everyone watched amazed as the skies cleared up and the sun began to shine. It was indeed a brand new day. A brand new start.

"Go on. Try it." Jay said to Jack and the kid looked up at Sam and Dean and Cass first, like he was looking for permission, but then he snapped his eyes on his hand and pulled it up. There was confidence on all his fathers' faces as Jack glanced at them again and with a huff of a smile, he snapped his fingers.

GDean jumped to the side, and might have let out a small girlish scream as a rift opened right next to him. They all pulled back as it began to flicker and with wonder on some faces they watched a man step through.

"What in the bloody Hell...?" Mick Davies said eyeing all the pairs, completely confused by the sight that welcomed him.

"What is iaaaaa..." Donna Hanscum's mouth dropped open as she followed Mick through the rift and went eye-wide at the sight. She quickly grabbed Mick's hand in hers and stood protectively in front of him.

No one dared move.

"Did... Did you find them?" A soft voice came from behind them and they all watched a beautiful brunette step out of the rift darting everyone. Her eyes too went wide at the sight, but there was slight fear in them as well. Fear that amongst all the familiar faces, she will never find the one she is looking for.

"Ellie?" GDean's voice trembled and her head snapped in his direction.

"Dean?" She asked with a hopeful smile and he practically ran to her, lifting her up in the air and twirling her before placing a soft kiss on her full lips.

"Eeeww... Get a room." a young man said as he stepped out of the rift, and he too went eye-wide at all the Deans in front of him. But instead of a freaked out face, his eyes lighted up and all he was able to let out was "Wicked..."

"Hell, I am even glad to see you, Colin." GDean said with a wide smile before turning his attention to Jack and Jay, and the original Sam and Dean. "Thanks, guys."

"Yeah. Thanks." GSam added, looking a little less constipated then ussual. He even managed to pull a smile, watching his brother's silly grin. GDean and GSam said their goodbyes to everyone and pulled their friends into the rift with promises of explanations.

"I wonder does she know?" Dean said his thoughts out loud, making Sam frown in confusion.

"If you mean does she know what he is, she does. She is a sizeshifter too." Jay said and Dean gave him a look of understanding, of approval. He wasn't so freaked out about it anymore, not with a version of himself being a monster or dating a monster.

But when it comes to !Dean... Well, that is another story.

"Dean! Dean!" a very worried, but deep voice came from a new rift and everyone looked to see a familiar face, but not in such familiar attire. !Castiel was clearly freaked by the number of Deans around him, but still !Dean beamed up to take a better look. Seeing the ring on Castiel's finger, he gasped and just like GDean, he ran towards the man he loved and picked him up.

Dean flushed rose red and other Deans coughed and looked away as !Dean kissed !Castiel, and thankfully that is all they did, aside from hold hands a moment later. Then it was the original Castiel's turn to gasp when he saw a familiar face step out of the same rift.

"Well. I believe the time has come for me to reconsider using opiates. I am seeing... No, not double, not triple... One, two, three..." !Balthazar squinted his eyes trying to count all the doubles, actually holding a martini in his hand.

Castiel smiled sadly at the sight of his old friend, the one whose life he took, a decision he would regret as long as he lives. It provided a small comfort knowing that at least one version of him had his friend by his side.

There was a frown all around as a blond stepped out of the same rift, her face round, her lips full and her eyes wary. She said nothing, but still glanced at !Sam with a small spark in her eyes.

Jay leaned between Sam and Dean and whispered " Yeah, they are all humans. !Cass and !Dean are married, !Balth is stoned and gay, and !Meg... !Meg is !Castiel's ex wife and now... Well, I think you can see for yourselves." Yeah, !Sam glanced at !Meg with a similar spark, but neither done more than that. And as they said their goodbyes, and crossed their rift, Jack snapped his fingers again, glad he could control what he was trying to do.

A very pissed off NGabriel walked out, and telekinetically levitated two familiar looking bodies. Sam and Dean could see NSam and NDean nervously dropping their gaze, darting the ground.

"I am so SICK AND TIRED OF BEING LEFT BEHIND! Of being left out of the loop! You two – back, NOW!" NGabriel said pointing his fingers at ASam and ADean who exchanged sad looks before NLucifer and NMichael parted them and entered their own vessels. Sam shuddered at the sight of the NLucifer's Nick face he knew all too well, but NLucifer just gave him a proud smile that held no viciousness, and it made Sam relax just a bit. Dean too reacted to the African-American vessel of NMichael, but remembered himself that this wasn't the AUMichael that he hated from the depths of his soul.

"You two! Both of you are in so much trouble! You will be confined to your quarters for a decade!" much to Sam and Deans surprise, NGabriel scolded their doubles and Sam huffed a laugh at NDean's attempt.

"You can't do that! We aren't kids!" NDean said and had too look away a bit frightened by NGabriel's piercing gaze.

"You are still little snot nosed fledglings and I am your father, your guardian! I can do whatever I damn please! You should be glad I don't bind your wings or worse!" NGabriel was fury red, almost steaming out of his ears. "Move it! NOW!" He ordered and NSam and NDean dared a quick glance at everyone else, a quick goodbye exchanged and they both hung their heads low and walked towards him.

It might have seemed a bit rash, a bit dictatorial, a bit too familiar, NGabriel giving out orders like that. But the moment they approached him, all the anger washed off his face, replaced by worry and he hugged them both tightly, gripping at their shirts and with tears forming in his eyes.

"Don't you ever do that to me again, you hear me?" his voice cracked as he said it, and it was evident to everyone around, he was just another protective and scared parent.

Next rift took a while to open, to find the right frequency. Something was off about it. Might have been another AJack look-a-like that stepped out of it with his hand raised high.

"Hello." he said in a Jack manner and both Jack and Jay exchanged looks before they looked back at him and replied in the same manner. It was hilarious and everyone laughed, even Castiel smiled.

"You should be careful. – ADean said to him – someone might think you are happy." Cass flinched at those words, and looked up at his double, at ACass.

"I didn't make that deal, but the Empty came for me. You should resolve that." ACass said to him and Cass looked ashamed. He never got the chance to tell Sam and Dean about it, and he knew, if he let it happen, if he let the Empty take him… The guys would certainly go after him, and who knows what kind of consequences that could have.

Sam and Dean exchanged meaningful glances, but before any one of them could say anything, Jack spoke first. "I will take care of it." He certainly had more power now, and everyone knew he along with his family will figure out a way out of that deal.

Dean couldn't help staring and eyeing *Dean, seeing a proud smile on his face as *Dean watched AJack. It was unnerving, knowing just how it was under that facade. ADean seemed to have picked up on that and eased Dean's mind.

"They have met before. *Dean helped him, gave him his grace. He is more like us then he ever resembled the fallen angel."

Once the AWinchesters left, another rift opened up, and both Sam and Dean gasped when *Henry Winchester stepped out, meticulously eyeing everyone. They flinched and almost immediately drew angel blades when a familiar red-head stepped out following *Henry. It all seemed like a bad déjà vu.

"Gramps! Nana!" *Dean shouted with delight and came up to hug them. As *Sam did the same, *Dean turned to the guys and smirked. "Guys, you know nana Josie?" And yes, it was her, sun-shine and rainbows *Josie Sands who could bring a demon to his knees while baking the most perfect pies any Dean ever tasted.

Soon, they too were on their way home and all that was left was Jay. He took a deep shaky breath and looked at Jack. Jack nodded supportively at him and Jay snapped his fingers.

"Bloody Hell, kid. That was dramatic." a deep British voice spoke behind them and they turned to face a familiar short figure with Cashmere coat and head high. A small sense of nostalgia passed both Sam and Dean seeing their old rival Crowley, but Crowley's eyes were somewhere distant behind them.

"Hello, Fergus." Rowena said with some clear pain in her voice, looking straight at him.

"Hello, Mother." Crowley replied and watched her for a few seconds more before deciding to refocus his attention. "So, I see you met some new friends. Castiel, long time… - to which the angel just nodded at him – And Dean… Good to see you as a human again and not that angel dick's meat suit." Dean frowned at him.

"Barking up the wrong tree again, Crowley." $Dean said entering through the rift. Crowley has indeed mistaken one Dean for the other, for the one of his world. Nobody paid much attention to their bickering as everyone's focus was on the beautiful tall brunette that came out after $Dean. Her wary eyes darted the surroundings and everyone present, and there was a clear gasp on her lips as she spotted the two nephilims. Her lip shook and her eyes filled with tears as she let out "Jack?"

Jay's hands started to shake as he watched her come through the rift and his breath hitched as she said his name. His eyes teared up as well and a tear ran down his cheek as he replied with a shaky voice. "Mom?"

Sam and Dean and Cass watched awestruck as Jay ran to her and hugged her tightly, and they knew that feeling, they knew those kinds of tears. They all waited a few moments to see if $Sam would walk out as well, and they were a bit sad not to see him make it. Letting the others have their moment the guys exchanged glances, knowing that it is all over. That they won.

"So, this is this world's Jack, huh?" the woman said with a smile as she greeted Jack, ruffling his hair. "Hello, Dean." She greeted the hunter next, and let her eyes wonder to the familiar trench-coat. "Oh, Cass…" She came up to him and hugged him, she couldn't help herself. "I am sorry, it… it has been a while since I last saw you…" The angel nodded in understanding and she gave him a broad smile.

"And who's this?" She asked moving to Sam and he looked at her partly confused, partly sad. If she didn't know who he was, he must have been out of their lives for a long time. He glanced at $Dean who watched him warily and got even more confused.

With a devilish smile on his face, Jay introduced Sam. "Mom, this is Sam Winchester."

"NO!" was her first reaction as she darted between her son and the tall hunter blushing and covering her mouth. "No, no… You… You serious?" she finally managed to ask Jay and he nodded.

"I am." Sam assured and she blushed even more before sizing him up head to toe. This made Sam a bit uncomfortable, and everyone else more confused. Everyone aside from Crowley and $Dean, who were laughing their heads off. Jay smiled at them amused and turned back to the pair. "Sam, I would like you to meet my mother… Samantha Winchester."

Immediately, Sam's smile dropped as $Sam gave him an oops smile and he looked between her and Jay, his face serious, trying to figure out if they were messing with him. Dean was already laughing with his double and Crowley and even Cass let out a smile.

Sam's face drew even more serious as he realized just what that meant, to her, to Jay, and he looked at her sympathetically for a brief second before pulling up a fake smile. She noticed the look in his eyes, the change in attitude and the palette of emotions his face gave out, and she was glad he didn't bring it up, he didn't say a word.

And after the laughter toned down, Jay left his family to wait for him as he said his goodbyes. He darted Jack's arm that bore the Mark and huffed a laugh, pulling his arm up as well. "Guess that makes up twinsies." Jack huffed a laugh at that too, and brought his gaze to meet Jays.

"That makes us brothers." he replied seriously and Jay lifted his eye brow before nodding. He liked that notion.

"Well, guys, this is it. – Jay said looking over the others – You are finally rid of me. I do hope there won't be an occasion when we need to meet again, but on the slight chance there is… I am only a prayer away."

Sam smiled and nodded, while Dean gave him a pat on the shoulder, smiling at him too. Cass hugged him, letting his emotions show, but quickly let go. Jay went back to his family and glanced after the others one last time before he crossed the rift and let it close.

Sam and Dean both let out a breath of relief they were seemingly holding since this whole thing started, and smiled at each other.

"So, now what?" Sam asked looking around the sun bathed cemetery and Dean replied

"World still needs fixin'. So we do what we do best. Saving people, hunting things… You know. The family business."
