Ava smiled and sent back a confirming that she was getting coffee. It was the only way for her to get around in the morning. She grabbed the two cups, heading back to the car. She had been exhausted after throwing herself into the job so much. It was just how she was. As good as Kendra was with the hunts because of what she was, Ava wasn’t going to let her do all the work. It just wasn’t how she was. She had to prove herself to everyone. She couldn’t allow herself to be viewed as just a girl for eye candy. She wanted to be viewed as strong just like every hunter out there. Then she remembered the one hunter that she had tried to keep out of her head since she had met him.
Sometimes she hated that she was like this because it was part of the reason why she wouldn’t just let herself miss Dean. Or at least openly. She had started to feel something for him when he had been out flirting with other girls, and she swore him off and other guys for that matter. She couldn’t let herself get hurt like this again, knowing that if it happened and went wrong, she would feel a thousand times over.

Sam followed his brother into the diner and tried not to think about what they had come across. He was still conflicted about how he felt about Kendra. He knew he had feelings for her, but she was a succubus even though she wasn’t bad and even fought to protect humans. There was a part of him that didn’t know how to handle that even though he missed her. He wanted to talk to Dean about it but knew he wouldn’t open up about it. He knew that if it was Kendra, then there would be Ava who was someone you didn’t bring up to Dean. Sam didn’t blame him. He didn’t want someone to bring up Kendra in conversation for no reason.
He sat down across from Dean. “Let me guess. Pancakes?” he asked. He glanced around the diner seeing who were around them. He didn’t like to be unaware of what is going on around him. “Or is it waffles today?”
