To Begin At The Beginning

“Death echo?” Robbie looked at his father for confirmation.

“Yes that’s Lucy Askew” Sam watched as the woman once again threw herself under the train.

“Can we help her?” Robbie asked hopefully.

“It’s difficult but it can be done” they watched as she approached the rail track again “you’ve got to shock her out of her routine” Sam’s tone wasn’t as hopeful as his son’s.

Robbie stepped in front of her “Lucy” he yelled only for her to walk straight through him.

“We don’t have time for this” Dean said gruffly.

“We can’t leave her like this” Robbie looked very unhappy.

“One job at a time Robs” seeing the boy’s face Dean added “we can come back later.”

“Okay” Robbie agreed though he still looked gloomy.

“Thought you were looking forward to your first salt and burn” Dean teased.

“I am” a small smile graced Robbie’s face as he followed his parents only looking back once.

They climbed over the wall and into the private grave yard. The gravel path crunched under there feet as they searched for the right grave, fifteen minutes later they found there man buried under the shelter of a tree. Sam and Dean began to dig up the grave while Robbie gripped the torch tightly and held the bay of salt.

“Bored yet Robs?” Dean paused to wipe his brow.

Robbie shook his head “No.”

 

It took forever to hit the coffin though when they did it split open with great ease. Robbie stared at the skeleton; the bones were more yellow than white and the skull seemed to be laughing at him.

“Salt Robs”” Dean grabbed the bag from him and scattered the salt on the bones.

Out of nowhere a gust of wind tore the half empty bag of salt from Dean’s hands and sent him tumbling into the grave.

“Dean” the wind stole the word from Sam’s lips and he darted forward to help his brother.

A man materialised behind Sam and Robbie yelled in warning. He dropped the torch and searched frantically for his salt spray, finding it he caught the spirit between the shoulder blades with a long spray of salt. It let out a scream of pure anger and disappeared.

“A hand before the bastard’s back” Dean demanded.

Sam tugged his brother from the grave and grinned when Dean with relish set the bones a light. Robbie stood by there side the heat of fire taking the chill from the night air, though he could have done without the smell.

“Still think this is the life for you” Sam asked brushing the salt from his clothes.

“Positive” Robbie replied.

“Then welcome to the family business” Sam smiled a little sadly.

Dean looked at his family and said “Pie?”

Sam shrugged and then grinned “Pie.”



They both looked at Robbie whose lips twitched “Pie.”

Dean threw an arm around Robbie as they walked away from the still burning grave then said “Tomorrow we’ll see about Lucy Askew.”

 

And Six Months Later

“What the hell were you thinking?” Dean demanded.

“I…” Robbie gasped as Sam’s hold on his arm tightened.

“He wasn’t thinking” Sam snarled belatedly releasing the damaged and bloody arm.

“He would have got you Dad” Robbie was on the verge of tears.

“I don’t care you just don’t run in front of a Rugaru” Sam shouted at the boy.

“What else could I do?” Robbie yelled back.

“Sam” Dean cautioned and turned to Robbie “why didn’t you” he made a quick gesture with his fingers.

“You and Dad don’t like me using it” Robbie was now holding his arm against his chest.

“Come on lets get you seen to” Dean said calmly.

Sam paced the small motel room as Dean cleaned and stitched Robbie’s wound. There son was strangely quiet through it all then disappeared into the bathroom.

“I can’t do this” Sam muttered.

“We can’t wrap him in cotton wool Sammy” Dean handed his brother a drink “don’t you think I learnt that the hard way with you?”



“He’s only twelve Dean at that age he should be discovering girls and wanting to be an actor or something” Sam frowned.

“He wants to be a hunter and hell Sammy as far as girls go his balls haven’t dropped yet” Dean smirked.

“He needs more women in his life” Sam latched on to the last part of Dean’s reply.

“He’s got you Sammy” Dean consoled him with another smirk.

“Jerk” Sam wasn’t to be put off “role models to show him…” he stopped at the look on Dean’s face.

“Show him what Sammy? He’s a little boy he’ll be fine we were fine! Dean said.

“To show him that women” Sam carried on “aren’t a different species.”



“We could always take him to see Jo” Dean offered.

“Jo’s practically a boy” Sam retorted.

“If you really think that you need your eyes tested Sammy” Dean smiled tiredly happy that he’d been able to distract his brother from brooding.

Robbie left the bathroom looking pink and scrubbed.

“You scared the crap out of us tonight” Robbie pouted at Dean “but you did good.”

“Like he said you did well” Sam ran a hand through his hair “but next time remember” he wiggled his fingers in a very Dean like way “is allowed in life or death situations.”

 

**********************************************

 

“Anna” Shocked pleasure drenched the word “you fell” was almost an after thought.

“It’s good to see you Castiel” she smiled “it’s been to long.”

“I should kill you” Castiel’s features became stern and unyielding.

“Perhaps but you won’t” she was no longer smiling.

Castiel frowned he knew she was right “All the same you must leave.”



Sudden shock seeped through him and he gasped “Your grace is still intact.”

Anna shrugged “It was a simple case of finding and reclaiming it.”



“Leave before I report back to Gabriel” Castiel threatened.

“I’m here to meet Robbie” she said bluntly.

“Why?” Castiel was frowning again.

“In an answer to Sam’s prays” Anna replied amusement in her eyes.

“Really” Castiel didn’t believe her at all.

“He wishes Robbie to have a female role model” Anna said in response.

“I hardly think he’d want fallen angel in that position” Castiel snapped.

“Shall we find out” Anna grinned and they were suddenly standing in a large motel room.

“What the hell” Dean was on his feet gun in hand.

Robbie had grabbed up his salt spray only to lower it again “Cas” his eyes settled on Anna “You!” He exclaimed.

“Hello Robbie it’s nice to meet you” she smiled.

“How do you know Anna?” Castiel asked sharply.

“I’ve had dreams about her” seeing the look on Dean’s face he added going bright red “not those sort of dreams.”

Dean turned to Anna and accused lightly “You’ve been invading his dreams.”

“No I haven’t” Anna shook her head.

With that hope dashed Dean lowered his gun and said to Robbie “So you’ve started” he wiggled his fingers in the usual way “again?”

“I thought they were regular dreams” Robbie explained.

“Who is she?” Dean asked Castiel.

“I’m an angel” she replied before Castiel could.

“She fell she is unholy” Castiel butted in.

“But not evil” Anna smiled reassuringly.

“That remains to be seen” Castiel said curtly.

Dean cleared his throat and both the angels glared at him “What are you both doing here?”



“She came in answer to Sam’s prays” Castiel said with a completely straight face.

“He wished for female guidance for Robbie” Anna quickly explained.

Robbie who had been listening quietly up to that point asked “You’re a rebel angel” he directed at Anna with interest.

“Yes” she replied seriously.

“Wow aren’t you scared” he asked his interest growing.

“Any emotion proves you are alive” she told him.

“Even the bad ones” Robbie asked.

“Especially the bad ones” she offered him a smile.

Dean put a hand on Robbie’s shoulder “Hold it tiger whether she was pushed, jumped or just fell I don’t trust her.”

“I only want to protect him” Anna’s tone was earnest and her eyes wide.

Dean glanced at Castiel who just looked blank and impassive “From what?” He finally asked her.

“Lilith” was her one word reply.

“Adam’s ex?” Dean didn’t look convinced.

“Lucifer’s first and most loyal child” Anna confirmed.

“Mom?” Robbie asked looking nervous.

Dean put his arm around him and told Anna in an icy tone “I’d like you to leave.”



“Or?” She asked.

“Oh sweetheart you don’t want to upset me or Sam for that matter, you don’t realize what we would do to protect our son” Dean grinned nastily at her.

“I’ll be back when you can see reason” she then disappeared.
