[b]MIKA[/b]

Mika hated seeing Dean this worked up about whatever was waiting for them both. It was clear that he wasn't fully believing they'd both make it out unscathed, but that also made her more determined to be there for him if they came out worse for wear. No matter what was waiting for them, she would be there for him and try to be that anchor he needed right now. She wanted him to be certain that at least she had his back and if he needed her, she wasn't going anywhere. It was always him and her, even when it wasn't, it was. He never gave up on her deep down, especially when they were teenagers and he refused to believe John about her dying. His determination to not let her just fade away and admit she was alive, was what she needed to do for him now. No one, demon or angel was going to rip him from her now. Whatever was waiting for them was about to see just how much stronger they were together. Even if he didn't believe it- she believed it enough for the both of them. 

The kiss felt so much more crucial to Mika right now, it was clear he needed it and was using it as a way to stall the inevitable, but she took all those feelings and worries from his kiss with her own kiss. Holding him close as they shared the moment, before reality kicked back in and he pulled away. Slowly opening her eyes as he pulled back from the kiss, she kept her forehead against his, sighing as he spoke, returning the quick peck. “You're right…” she replied, her eyes gazing down to follow his hands drop down and grab her hand to kiss her knuckles. She smiled slightly at his invitation of just being lazy once this was done and nodded, “deal” she replied once more, keeping her hand in his and heading downstairs with him. All the while she had Dean to herself, she wasn't going to let go of him, deciding that she would only back off when they reached whatever location these Angels had Alastair cooped up in. For now, he needed her more than he verbally expressed and that meant she wasn't going to back down from being a supporting partner. 

Reaching downstairs, she could only see Bobby awake and pottering about, but saw no one else which told her that the others were possibly making the most of no hunt being on the horizon. It also meant, if they didn't see any of the others before they leave, leaving might be a little easier. The thought of telling Natalia and Duke what they were being tasked with created a huge knot in her stomach. Yet at the same time she knew they'd need to rely on Duke, Esme and Cason to all keep Natalia safe and away from wherever they were going. Reluctantly letting go of Dean's hand, she went searching for food to make them both, finding some simple ingredients out of what Bobby still had in. [I]’note to self, when we get back, I'm going grocery shopping for Bobby’[/I] she thought to herself. “Hey Bobby?! I'm gonna go and do a shop later today, so write a list for me please whilst me and Dean are out this morning?” She called out to him, trying to keep the situation as casual as possible. 

She knew Bobby would try and stop them from going, or at least stop her from going if he knew exactly what they were about to do, so she felt like she had no choice in wording it the way she did. Opening a cupboard and pulling out a pan, she decided to whip them up some quick bacon sandwiches, deciding it was quick and easy to be able to stomach when they were so worked up. It also mean that anything else not used was available to the rest of the group whenever they decided to get up and show themselves. As she began to cook herself and Dean the breakfast, she found herself slipping slightly into her own thoughts and worry that the Angels were going to put Dean in too much danger. She wasn't as trusting of Castiel as Dean seemed to be, despite the fact Castiel had never really done anything to make her weary of him. It was solely the fact he was an Angel and so stoic that put her on edge, at least, that's what she put it down to. Still, she trusted him enough to even allow him bring them to Alastair. 


[b]NATALIA[/b]

As Cason pulled her closer to him, Natalia gladly got closer. She couldn't ever imagine a time when she would push him away, and if she ever did she would have to be in the worst state of mind imaginable to not even want him near her. It was so easy for her to push people away, but as each day passes, Cason was the only one who would never be pushed away. So if she ever did? Something was seriously wrong with her. She was just as attached to him, as he was with her. It still baffles her mind how he could feel love and why it was her he even loved in the first place, but she cherished her luck and still wanted to find out more whenever she could go be able to understand him more. The random thought of ‘if only dad could see me now…bedding down with a demon’ flashed through her mind briefly, knowing that John probably would be even more against it than Dean was. Though it almost brought some rebellious smugness to her mind as she considered it was almost like a middle finger to John for abandoning her. A demon cared for her more than he did and that made her subconsciously think maybe it was a good thing he wasn't in her life anymore. Even though there were still times of pure distress that she fell into that little girl mindset of just wanting her dad. 

She listened to his mumbles and judging by the tone of his voice, he didn't think a few days of peace was in the cards for them, but she didn't want to think about that. It was also clear to her that even though he was replying to her, his mind was partially somewhere else. No doubt trying to think of all the ways he could wrap her in bubble wrap and keep her safe and as far from the hunting life as he could. Little did she realize how close of an assumption that actually was. At his remark about not forgetting to eat, she couldn't help but softly chuckled and smiled a bit more, tilting her head to look up at him. “Its like you haven't even met me, I couldn't forget to eat, don't think it's possible.” She teased, “I also fully intend to have you forever. It's whether or not you can handle having me for that long” she smiled at him. Internally she couldn't believe she could even think those things, let alone say them. It felt like only yesterday she was an anti falling in love hunter who only thought about the job, now she was experiencing what Mika felt towards Dean, or Anna with Sam and even Esme with Duke. It was so strange to her how her mindset had changed so drastically but she welcomed it with open arms. 

She eventually heard Mika's voice call out to Bobby after hearing footsteps coming downstairs and came to the assumption that Mika and Dean were up. It felt like they were up earlier than she thought they would be. “They're up early…” she thought out loud, whilst also thinking to herself not to get inquisitive and go to see why they were up so early. It wasn't any of her business what they did on their downtime and she had to keep reminding herself of that, and yet so much of her was telling her to get up and go see what's going on. Something in the pit of her stomach was giving her a weird vibe and she didn't like it. 

[b]SAM[/b]

When Ruby greeted Anna, Sam felt like he wanted the ground to open and swallow him whole as he just knew by Ruby's tone, this was going to get as awkward as she could possibly make it. What he wasn't expecting was for Anna to be the one to make it incredibly awkward by mentioning threesomes. He snapped his head a road to her so fast, he was convinced his neck would break as he stared at her in disbelief, his mouth opening and closing, trying to get words out but coming up with absolutely nothing. He was going to have to have words with her about that comment later when they were alone again. Looking at Ruby who was just smirking then laughing at Anna's remark and how she completely broke his mind. He eventually managed to gather himself so he could actually talk, “beats me! Like I said, not had a chance to read her damn texts yet.” He replied to her with a shrug. 

“I think you can guess why I'm here, Sam. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure it out. I'm here because you've not been fuelling up and instead been witnessing your girl here doing the dosing up. Yes, word gets around in the demon circles. What kind of boyfriend lets the woman do all the work and not shoulder some of the responsibility huh? You need to also be drinking the blood if you're both to defeat Lilith. You both need to be stronger…a lot stronger.” She explained, looking mostly at Sam but shooting the odd glance at Anna in the process to truly drill her point across. “You can't kill Lilith solo, you HAVE to work as a team to do it, if she doesn't get stopped we're all bloody done for” she added, her tone a lot more serious than it was before. She had to make Sam drink more, she was done and tired of his detoxing and not drinking hers and other demon's blood. Too many demons were getting Scot free from him and Anna and that annoyed her greatly. 

“It's not that simple Ruby, there's too many in our group to be able to do it on the downlow and after Dean-” Sam tried to reason, wanting to find another way for both him and Anna, but Ruby interrupted him before he could finish his sentence. “Dean Schean! For crying out loud Sam, the world does not revolve Alastair's little torture bunny!! He can't win against Lilith, that's how he got into Hell in the first place remember, trying to outsmart her. It's you two or it's the end of the damn world!” Ruby exclaimed. “If you don't want your little lover girl there to be Lilith's meatsuit bitch, then you both better start day drinking and I don't mean alcohol!” She practically ordered, throwing him a couple of drinks bottles full of demon blood. “And I ain't leaving until those are all empty” she stated, standing her ground, arms folding across her chest. “So drink up kids” she smirked.
