    "It's too quiet," Dean Winchester mumbled as he sipped a beer, feet kicked up onto the oak table. He looked at the three other hunters before him, all of who looked bored. His brother - four years his junior - Sam, was scrolling carelessly through his laptop for something to investigate. "Anything?"

    Rosie rolled her eyes playfully at Dean's question. "Dean-o, there hasn't been anything for the whole four hours you've been asking." Playing with her ring passed down from her mother by twisting it around her finger, she exhaled heavily. "Although, I'd kill for a demonic possession right now."

    A snort of laughter came from beside her.

    A quiet chuckle forced its way through Sam's lips as he peered over at Rosie, offering a small grin. "I'm sure we all would," he said honestly before he shook his head, his gaze going back to the laptop, "But, to answer your question, Dean - nothing yet. I'm still looking, though. I'm sure there's got to be something out there for us to do." There always was; it was just sometimes hard to spot, if you weren't looking for the right key phrases.

    "I wonder if we're the only people who actually complain when there's peace," Alice joked lightly from where she was, leaning forward to rest her arms on the table, resting her head down soon after. "But, then, I guess we've all learned one way or another that the peace doesn't usually last long and, once it ends, a storm of trouble follows it." She made a face with the thought, sure that the issues would raise before long.

    And, almost immediately, Sam straightened in his chair, leaning forward closer to his screen. "Actually, I think I might have found something," he told them, though he frowned slightly as he delved further into the news, recognizing a bit of it. "Wait, that's weird - this problem has been going on for months. I even remember hearing about a few hunters going to look into it, so it should have already been dealt with by now. But, this - this news story is new, so it's still an ongoing problem."

    "Well - what is it?" Rosie pushed for an answer, glancing at Alice quickly with slight excitement, wiggling her eyebrows towards her good friend jokingly. Life had been pacing along slowly, and with the lifestyle the four led, when there was a rare occurence of downtime, it was often quite boring. The Men of Letters bunker was hidden far into Kansas, with barely any connection to outside, and very little connection to normality. Although the bunker itself was full of lore and legend and wonders that "normal" people could only dream of, even a small case, such as a vampire's nest or a demonic possession, was an excuse to stretch their legs.

    "You would've thought that the others would of fixed it by now," Dean Winchester raised an eyebrow in curiosity. "Shoot. Don't miss out the gory details, I crave excitement," at this point, Dean wasn't sure if he was being sarcastic or not. He'd been cooped up for too long, yearning to hop into his beloved Impala with the ones he held dearest to him, blasting some good music as they travel cross country. "Is it a demonic possession, or?"

    Alice perked up a bit, curious to what exactly this case was. And, if nobody had figured out what was going on, then was it something even hunters hadn't come across yet? Or was there more to it? The thought made her all the more interested in the case, though - the possibility that there could be something more out there than anything they'd already faced meant a new challenge, and, really, Alice couldn't deny that she loved challenges.

    "Well, when I first saw this case, there had been a few deaths already," Sam explained to them peering between the trio for a moment, "Suspicious deaths, actually. I remember there'd been a spontaneous combustion, but, you know, no fire around. Somebody froze to death, which is even weirder considering the previous spontaneous combustion and the fact that this happened in the summertime. Somebody died with dirt in their lungs, even though there was no sign of them having been buried - they'd been in their own car when it happened and somebody actually watched that death and tried to intervene, but there was nothing they could do."

    For a moment, he shook his head and turned the laptop around so the others could see. "And, this one, somebody drowned in their living room," he told them, "But, there wasn't any water around." He frowned, then. It was weird that all of that had happened, of course, but it was even stranger that the hunters who'd gone to check out the cases hadn't figured out what was going on.

    "That doesn't sound extremely abnormal," Alice admitted, shaking her head, "The only weird thing about it is that hunters have already looked into this, but it's still happening even now - especially since you said that at least two of the cases were towards summertime." That had been a few months ago. If these deaths were still going on, why hadn't anybody figured out what had happened? "Maybe we should try calling the hunters we know have looked into the cases, see if they can tell us anything?"

    "Yeah, we might as well," Sam said, "Though... I can't really see any of them just giving up on a case, especially one that's still causing problems." Still, he pulled out his phone to start calling the hunters he'd known had gone to check out the cases. Each call ended up at voicemail, though, and he looked to the others, concerned. "Nobody's answering any of the phones."

    "Sounds like our kind of gig," Dean suggested, pulling his feet from the table. "It definitely sounds weird, I mean, friggin drowning in their own house? C'mon!" He raised his eyebrows, before abandoning his beer. "Anyway, it's not like anyone to let their phone ring. I'll get Baby revved up!" He clapped his hands, his enthusiasm for life returning slowly as he thought of the opportunity to get out of this God foresaken bunker. "Wait... where we heading?"

    Rosie chuckled and reached over Sam to pull the laptop closer, already pulling on her jacket. "Looks like we're heading to Colorado! Good job, Sam," she patted the man's shoulder.

    Dean grinned to himself as he twirled Baby's keys between his fingers. "Remember the music rule, ladies. Now let's go, this place can look after itself for a day or two."

    Sam smiled, reaching to give Rosie's hand a squeeze when she patted his shoulder. "I'd much rather be in Colorado than listen to Dean ask whether I've found anything yet every five minutes," he joked lightly, moving to stand up. Grabbing his laptop, he stuffed it into his bag and slid the bag over his shoulders. At least this gave them something to do and, with the odd circumstances surrounding the case, he hoped nothing went wrong. Mentally, he made a note to try to call the others again, just in case, but he had a bit of a sinking feeling. Shaking his head to rid himself of the thought, he looked to the others. "Everyone ready?"

    Alice stood from her seat, reaching to grab her own jacket, sliding it on, though she rolled her eyes jokingly at Dean's words. "That damn music rule, whatever shall we do," she joked before she shrugged, "I have no complaints about the music choices in general." She grinned slightly, mostly looking forward to being on the road again. She was sure that, by now, they were all suffering from a bit of cabin fever, being in the bunker with no cases for so long. "Ready," she confirmed with a nod.

    Dean pointed an accusing finger at Alice jokingly. "That rule is the golden foundation of that car, do not disrespect it!" He shot a wink Alice's way to show his good spirit. "If everyone's ready, why the hell are we lingering? Let's get out of here." Whistling a happy tune as he made his way up the steps that led back to civilisation (and fresh air), Dean practically glided with excitement to get on the road.

    "He is so strange," Rosie shook her head in fake despair. "Who's riding shotgun?" She walked up the steps backwards to look at Alice and Sam.

    "Alice is!" Dean called from somewhere above them.

    Rosie laughed and turned around, jogging the rest of the way up the stairs and straight out into the wide world, taking a moment to appreciate the chill of the October wind, and the distant sound of birds chirping happily. "Let there be light,"

    Dean grinned and nodded along. "It's about damn time."

    Alice laughed, grinning broadly at the pair, but she followed Rosie up the stairs, stretching her arms out above her once they were outside, breathing in the fresh air for a few moments. "It feels so nice," she hummed out happily, dropping her arms to peer at the others. It was a relief, being able to step out of the bunker at all, but even more so when it meant that they were going to try to fix a problem, to help people.

    "I'll pull up the map on the phone to get us to where we're going," Sam decided, figuring it was the safest bet. It wasn't the first time they'd done it, either - they always made sure they were going exactly where they were meant to be, after all. It prevented any major issues along the way. "Hopefully, we'll be there in no time and we can get straight to work on figuring this whole problem out."

    "We all know Dean's probably going to want to stop by every diner along the way, so I wouldn't count on it," Alice joked lightly but she moved to make her way over to Dean, heading towards the car.

    Sam looked mildly amused. "That's probably true," he admitted but shrugged as he wrapped an arm around Rosie, "At least it would be a change from the bunker food, though." Shrugging, he dropped his gaze to Rosie, but led the way to the car.

    Dean took Alice's hand within his own, grinning. "If there comes a day where I don't get my hands on the greasiest, dirtiest, heart wrenching burger there is, call an ambulance, cause I'm definitely sick." He brought Alice's hand up, pressing his lips to the back of her hand sweetly. If there was one thing Dean Winchester was good at, it was being a manly man, hunting monsters and beating the bad guys.

    But if there was one weakness that the infamous Dean Winchester had, it was Alice. She gave him more than he ever could of asked for, and he was grateful to be riding through the States and fighting the good fight with her by his side.

    "Dean, it'll be the greasiest burger that makes you sick," Rosie chuckled, leaning into Sam's warm embrace. "But, it would be a nice change from that dusty old stuff in the cupboards." She looked up at Sam with a grin, nudging him as she moved away, approaching Baby.

    "How's the map lookin', Sammy?" Dean asked as he reluctantly let go of Alice's hand, getting into Baby's front seat, grinning as Alice got in, sitting to his right. Rosie got in the back seat, sitting behind Alice, getting comfortable against the back of the seat.

    Alice's expression softened as she watched Dean and she couldn't help but to smile fondly, glad for those small moments between them. Having Dean in her life had definitely grounded her. Before Dean and Sam and Rosie, she'd been more than a little reckless in her hunts. They usually ended with her putting herself in danger, throwing herself out as bait, whatever it took to get the problem solved. But, now she had people who cared about her, and she had Dean, and she had a reason to be careful. "I'll keep that in mind," she promised jokingly, nodding as she climbed in.

    "Got it," Sam announced as he moved to get into the car and leaned forward to show Dean the first part of the path they were meant to take. After making sure Dean had a good look - and even allowing Alice a look to make sure that Dean didn't go off course, - Sam settled back into his seat, looking to Rosie, taking her in. He still found himself blown away that she was in his life, and lucky that he'd met her at all. Even if they weren't where they were at right now, just knowing her in general would have meant the world to him; she was just that kind of person.

    Reaching over, he used his free hand to take her hand in his, giving it a squeeze. For a moment, he worried about what this case would hold, since he wasn't sure what was going on with the hunters, why none of them had answered their phones. But, he pushed that thought aside in favor of trying to cling to this moment, to Rosie. "Maybe we'll get this case over with before long," he mentioned, "And, who knows, there could be another case waiting for us the moment it's over." He grinned, figuring it would be a nice change to how calm things had been lately.

    "Oh, my God, yes please." Rosie spoke slowly, not even thinking of the dangers that the case offered, relaxed in her man's arms. She never truly got off the job of hunting, even when there was the rare opportunity for normality. Hunting was all that she had known since she was nineteen, and now here she was, with three other people who truly understood her lifestyle. They were never off the clock, and they were never truly comfortable unless they were doing what they do best. "I'd love to get another Wendigo. Going back to the simple days, huh?" She grinned up at Sam, cuddling into him and just enjoying the comfort he gave her.

    Rosie had met Sam, and Dean, and Alice, just when she needed them. She never truly had a home since her Mother was killed on a case. Since then, she had found her home in the most unlikely of places - a hidden bunker full of history. It was amazing to her. Kicking her feet up onto the interior, Rosie grinned as Dean bought the Impala to a roaring start.

    "Oh, I've missed this!" Dean grinned. "Colorado, here we come!" He pressed his foot down onto the acceleration, gently bringing the vintage beauty back to life after she had sat, collecting dust for two weeks. "Alice, will you do me the honour of guiding me to Colorado?" Dean asked with a grin, looking over in her direction. She looked so brilliant in his Impala. It was his personal idea of Heaven, his beautiful girl, his beautiful car, doing a job no one else would dream to do. But that was thing he enjoyed about hunting - it was theirs.

    Sam blew out a whistle with the mention of the Wendigo. That felt like it'd been ages ago, another lifetime entirely, considering everything that had happened since. "If we ever run into another Wendigo, it'd feel like a blast from the past for sure," he admitted with amusement, holding Rosie to himself as he enjoyed the feeling of her against him. Just knowing that she was there and safe put his mind at ease. Of course, he knew she could hold her own - she was a force to be reckoned with if he'd ever known one - but there was always the chance that something could go wrong. Even though he didn't like thinking about it, he knew it as truth, and he wanted to make sure that he never lost her. "It'd be a nice change from everything we dealt with lately, though, I can say that much."

    "I feel like we haven't dealt with any ghosts in a long time," Alice admitted in a hum, but she grinned over at Dean and nodded. "Sure, I think I can manage that awfully difficult task," she joked lightly before shifting, leaning over to the back to hold her hand out for Sam's phone. When Sam placed it in her hand, she settled back in her seat, settling her gaze on the phone. "It looks like, once we get on the highway, we should be good for a while," she told Dean, looking to him as she took him in. "We should get there by the end of the day, too, which is great. We can rest up for the night when we get there and get started in the morning."

    "I mean, who else could trigger the impending apocalypse but the Winchesters?" Rosie chuckled. "Typical of you two to be those assholes." The younger of the two snorted with laughter at the thought. "Aw man, imagine a good old Wendigo though. Or just some sort of Aztec God hiding in a scarecrow. Kid's play compared to this war in Heaven stuff." She frowned. It was a habit Rosie had - whenever she thought of something, she would frown. "But, there's a difference. You got me and Alice here to save your asses." Rosie nudged Sam, sitting up to look out of the window at the passing scenery. The words that Rosie wanted to say the most, that she felt she couldn't, was that she would protect Sam with all that she had within her.

    "Ghosts are too easy," Dean smiled. "Just blast 'em full of rock salt until you burn those bitches." He hadn't even realised how much like Bobby Singer he sounded like in that moment. "Go use that... Google thing... see if you can get us a motel for the night. It's gonna be a long haul drive from now until tonight, gonna need all the rest we can get. Gotta question witnesses, talk to the police. You and Rosie can get into the crime scene if you use your feds badge, gotta be thorough. If all of these hunters are going missing, we gotta see where they went wrong."

    Sam chuckled lightly. "Yeah, well, to be fair, we didn't really expect any of that," he admitted, shaking his head slightly. Their lives had changed so much from when they were younger on hunts with their dad to the past several years. There'd been a time he had sworn he wouldn't come back to this life, yet here he was. It wasn't something he'd ever change, though - if it hadn't been for being in this life, he wouldn't have ever met Rosie and he wouldn't have changed that for the world. He smiled, though, to her words, and nodded. "And, we'll probably need it," he joked, because he knew how hectic his and Dean's lives were since they were Winchesters. "But, on the bright side, we'll always have your backs, too." And that gave him relief, knowing he could look out for her. Even if she didn't need it, he wanted to be capable of it.

    "Okay, first of all, good old fashioned haunts are fun," Alice defended with a laugh, "And, more importantly! It's something to do, rather than to sit around in the bunker all day, every day until big cases like this pop up! Also! How many times have you burned the wrong bones, huh?" She smirked teasingly, rolling her eyes before she settled her gaze on the phone to search for motels. "There are a couple options. Do you want a nicer one? And should it be one or two rooms?" She arched a brow, looking to him, but she nodded to his suggestions. "Sounds like a plan."

    "I'm glad you do," Rosie murmured, blushing slightly. "Don't know what I'd do without you, you big dork." A smile threatened to break out across her face, but she pushed it back, reaching over to hold Sam's hand as she looked out of the window. "And by the way, I think the apocalypse was the best thing to happen to you." She looked over at him. "The both of you. It's when you broke free of your old life and created your own legacy. Not your Dad's." Rosie was always honest to Sam, knowing she could get away with it.

    Dean opened his mouth to speak before closing it again. "Shut up." He chuckled. "They're just bones! And the lighter doesn't always light on the first try, have you ever tried being in a damp graveyard trying to get a light? It's the worst thing!" His chuckle turned into a laugh, his face lit up with joy. "Uh, get two rooms, cheap as you can. We can rest when this is done and people stop dying and stop falling off the face of the Earth." Dean drove with one hand as he took Alice's spare hand, squeezing gently to let her know he wanted time to just relax with her before they jumped into the serious situation.

    Sam smiled slightly with the mention of it and he gave her hand a squeeze. "Yeah, I don't know what I'd do without you, either," he admitted quietly, though he was purely honest. He didn't want to know what his life would be like now if she hadn't been in it. Everything good in his life centered mostly around her. Hearing her talk about the apocalypse, though, he offered a small nod, leaning back in his seat as he watched her. "Maybe," he half-agreed. The apocalypse had caused several problems overall, but, more than anything, it'd let him and Dean be their own people. "Who knows what our lives would be like if the apocalypse hadn't happened?"

    Alice couldn't help but to laugh, rather proudly, really. "Don't forget when you mistake ghosts for the wrong people. So, ha, I win, just admit defeat," she hummed jokingly, grinning over at him, though she was glad to hear his laugh, especially when the past few hours had been filled with complaints. Hearing his suggestion, she nodded as she searched through the options, settling on a motel eventually, and she paid for the rooms with one of the many credit cards the group had. Feeling his hand, though, she smiled, returning the squeeze gently. "All done," she hummed out, turning her gaze back to him as she offered a smile.

    "Exactly," Rosie murmured in agreement. "It would be a boring life of Wendigos and vengeful spirits." She smiled, running her thumb across his knuckles. "I mean, angels still might be the biggest douchebags on the planet, but you two made a name for yourselves. Not just 'John Winchester's boys'." She turned to look at Sam, reading his facial features. "Anyway, you and Dean both rose to the challenge and kicked it in the ass. That's more that can be said for anyone." She smiled softly, her spare hand playing with a loose thread on her Metallica t-shirt.

    "Fine..." Dean laughed. "I, Dean Winchester, admit defeat to the most amazing, most beautiful Alice Winters. Although she will never hear me say this ever again." He shot a Winchester wink her way. Seeing her smile, he returned the gesture, keeping a firm hold on her hand. "What would I do without you, huh? I'd of probably tried to sell my soul for the millionth time." He scowled in disgust at the thought. "Oh god, imagine being Crowley's property..." He turned to look at Alice in amused disgust. "We're about to hit the highway, smooth sailing from here on out."

    "Yeah, who would have ever guessed that angels would be such jerks?" Sam asked, shaking his head. At least there was Castiel - but even Castiel had his own faults, his constant struggles to do what an angel was meant to do and what he felt was right. "There are still some hunters out there who just know us because of him, but at least they know our names now." It wasn't the best thing, since most of them had been pretty angry about the whole apocalypse thing and everything that followed it. But, he and Dean didn't back down from any of them and he was sure that at least seemed to earned them a bit of respect. "Right. And now I have you by my side and everything we went through was worth it." He grinned slightly, unable to help it.

    Alice grinned broadly with the mention of it and leaned to kiss his cheek. "I'll take it just the one time over never, ever hearing it," she hummed out with amusement, "Because we both know that, either way, I won't let you live it down." She'd make sure to bring it up any chance she got, if they needed some way to ease any tension or frustration from how things went in their lives. It'd be worth it, she decided, if it meant seeing any form of amusement on his expression. Hearing his later words, though, she made a face. "Yeah, no, it's a very good thing that didn't happen. Crowley would have way too much fun, and you'd go through... Way too much pain." She frowned with the thought but tried to force it away.

    "I mean, Cas it great, I love him, but poor guy's got a lot on his plate right now," Rosie spoke with sympathy. At Sam's final sentence, Rosie blushed and pulled her hand away, shoving him by the shoulder instead. "God, you're such a dork." She giggled, ducking her head to look at her lap. "I'm just glad you're alive. A world without Sam Winchester would be a dark place indeed." She offered him a small smile, folding her arms across her chest as she sunk back into the leather seat.

    "You never let me live anything down," Dean pouted slightly. "Remember at that bar when I slipped on spilled beer and fell on my ass, and you laughed about it for like, a week, and still remind me about it." He gave a hearty laugh at the memory. "Man, I was so embarrassed." Seeing her frown, Dean squeezed her hand once more. "Don't worry, Crowley wishes he was a hunter so he could be as cool as us, but instead, he's in charge of douchebags that don't even like him. That's gotta hurt." A smirk flickered across the oldest brother's face the more he thought about it.
