(1) When We Collide (T. Stark)

Chapter Twenty Four

"Well did you call the roadhouse? They know anything?" Sam asks.

"Yeah" Dean looks away.

"What is it?" Sam asks looking between the two of them.

"The roadhouse burned to the ground. Ash is dead. Probably Ellen— a lot of other hunters, too" Spencer answers.

"Demons?" Sam asks getting upset.

"Yeah, we think so. We think because Ash found something" Dean adds.

"What did he find?"

"Bobby's working on that right now" Dean answers.

"Well, come on then. Bobby's only a few hours away" Sam begins to stand. Dean stands also and grabs Sam by the shoulders.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa. Stop, Sam, stop! Damn it. You almost died in there. I mean, what would I 've — can't you just take care of yourself for a little bit, huh? Just for a little bit?"

"I'm sorry. No" Sam answers, Dean shakes his head.

.................

Bobby opens the door and looks at Sam with astonishment, he then looks to Spencer and Dean.

"Hey, Bobby" Spencer greets and looks away again almost immediately.

"Hey, Bobby" Sam greets.

"Sam. It's good to ... see you up and around"

"Yeah ... thanks for patching me up" Sam pats Bobby on the shoulder and walks past him into the house.

"Don't mention it" Dean and Spencer follow, Bobby looks at them hard, vibrating with unspoken emotion.

"Well Sam's better. And we're back in it now, so... what do you know?" Dean asks, Sam looks at Dean curiously.

.................

Spencer moves to the baby basket next to Tony who stands to greet her.

"You okay?" he asks her noticing something is up, she nods and touches his arm.

"'M fine" she answers, Tony glances to Sam and then leans closer to Spencer.

"Really? Cause Bobby told me Sam was dead" he tells her, she looks to him, eyes watery, she pulls him closer and kisses him. Tony pulls back and brushes her hair back. "Later?" he asks, she nods and presses her head to his chest. She pulls back and moves to the basket where she picks up Trinity and holds her to her chest, closing her eyes. Bobby, Dean and Sam gather at the desk.

"Well, Tony found something. But we're not sure what the hell it means" Bobby tells them.

"What is it?" Sam asks looking to Tony who moves over to them.

"Jarvis ran a search and found demonic omens... like a frickin' tidal wave. Cattle deaths. Lightning storms. They skyrocketed from out of nowhere. Here" Tony points to Wyoming on a map on the desk. "All around here, except for one place... Southern Wyoming" Spencer walks over to join them.

"Wyoming?" Dean asks.

"Yeah. That one area's totally clean – spotless. It's almost as if..." Bobby starts.

"What?"

"The demons are surrounding it" Tony finishes.

"But you don't know why?" Spencer asks.

"No, and by this point my eyes are swimming" Bobby states. "Sam, would you take a look at it? Maybe you could catch something we couldn't"

"Yeah, sure" Bobby looks to Dean and Spencer.
