Hunterverse, somewhere on the road to check out a report

[random_xtras]

Mary is sitting contentedly slumped in the back seat of the Impala sucking the salt off the pistachio nuts that she couldn't crack and staring out the window with that blankness known only to teenagers and eccentrics, thinking of this and that, when she suddenly asks, "Hey, Uncle Dean, what was her name?"

Dean blinks witout looking away from the road. "Who's name?"

"The girl you met at the Cafe."

"Why?"

Mary spits a saltless nut into her hand and replaces it with a fresh one. "Just wondering"

"Echo," said Dean.

Mary blinks. "What kind of name is that?"

"Names or the meaning behind 'em don't matter."

Mary shrugs. "Was she nice?"

"Yeah."

Mary changes pistacios again. "Did you get her number?"

Dean chuckles. "Don't need a number when I can easily meet 'er at the cafe again or leave a note for her there."

"So you wanna see her again!" says Mary gleefully. "She's gotta be nice."

Sam groans.

"Yeah, I wanna see her again." Dean states with a slight smile.

Sam shook his head. "Dean, do you always have to find romance in everything you do?"

"Of course. Have to keep things livened up, Sammy."

[random_xtras]

Mary smirks and spits out another saltless nut, sticking it into her left pocket and replacing it with a fresh nut from the right. "So... What's she like?"

[hunterbyblood.livejournal.com]

"Why are you so interested in the girls I meet all of a sudden?"

[random_xtras]

"I'm bored." She realizes that the nut in her mouth is actually split and openable and does so. "Besides. Dad never dated, I had to get all my knowhow from the old foggie."

[hunterbyblood.livejournal.com]

"The job and research is pretty boring and I'm sure you'll meet 'er some time." He states turning the music on.

[random_xtras]

"So you plan on seeing her alot?" One eyebrow quirks as she wonders how she feels about this. -@#$&@ I might end up with a mother.-

Eyes wide, she sinks down lower in her seat and pitches a nut at the back of Sam's head, making sure that she sees where it lands so that she doesn't mess up the car.

He shrugs a bit at her question. "Not tying myself down to anyone, kiddo, so don't worry and quit that." He shakes his head watching Sam turn around.

"Make a mess in the car and you're both cleaning it up."

[random_xtras]

Mary razzes Sam, then picks up the nut and pretends she's going to throw it again, starting to sing along to the stereo as she does.

"You know you two never told me what we were investigating." Dean states simply.

"You'll see when we get there, Dean."

"Well, tell me where there is first you dork." Dean says with a roll of his eyes.

[random_xtras]

"Oooo, squished gopher!" Mary interrupts herself to turn in her seat and watch it vanish into the distance. "Ewwwww."

[hunterbyblood.livejournal.com]

"Well, it isn't meant to be pretty."

[random_xtras]

She straightens in her seat and catches Sam looking at her, so she starts singing again, not missing a word.

Then she stops. "Where are we going?"

[hunterbyblood.livejournal.com]

"That's what I'd like to know." He states giving a slight glare to his baby brother.

"Keep your eyes on the road, Dean."

"Oh, shut up." He grumbles smacking Sam in the back of the head. "Just tell us where."

"I already told you, you'll see when we get there."

[random_xtras]

"This isn't one of those stupid fake calls with some nice suprise at the end, is it?" asks Mary suspiciously.

[hunterbyblood.livejournal.com]

"It better not be or I'm gonna beat Sammy here."

[random_xtras]

"Dude, if you spilled my beans all over the floor for a prank I'm gonna be so.... Gimme a word here, Uncle Dean."

[hunterbyblood.livejournal.com]

"Angry, upset... and I can't think of any others that don't end up cussing him out."

[random_xtras]

She nods and turns back to her younger uncle. "I will be really upset."

[hunterbyblood.livejournal.com]

"You've changed, Dean."

"Huh... no, I haven't."

"Yeah, dude, you have."

Dean scowls. "Whatever. So are we nearly there yet, Sammy?"

"Almost."

[random_xtras]

Mary contemplated mischeif, but then squeaked and lay flat in her seatbelt to get away from a stunned bumblebee that she noticed crawling along her door. "D...D...D...Dad!"

[hunterbyblood.livejournal.com]

"What?" Not that Dean was used to her calling him that but still he responded to it.

[random_xtras]

"B...b...bee!" she whispers, keeping her eyes fixed on it.

[hunterbyblood.livejournal.com]

"Sam, take the wheel."

"What?"

"Take the freaking wheel!"

"Okay, okay." Sam states watching his brother pull out his bowie knife. "Um, Dean... what are you doing?"

"Shut up, Sam." He states before sliding into the backseat half way and slamming the bowie knife down, effectively killing the bee. He hadn't seen any other alternative. "If I've scratched you up too much baby, don't fret, I'll get you fixed up." Then He looks at Mary. "You okay?"

[random_xtras]

She nods, though her face is pale and tears are starting up. "Y...yeah."

[hunterbyblood.livejournal.com]

He slips completely into the backseat letting Sam take the driver's seat and throws the bowie into the passenger seat once his little brother is moved and just takes Mary into his arms.
