This blog is for Supernatural fan fiction that my daughter and I write . We might include a crossover , so there are other characters at times , but it 's mainly the cast and guest stars from the series . I hope you enjoy . It 's open for anyone . Laran and Tisha Wyman Warnings : Bad language , violence , and some sex . Spoilers : My favorite show is Supernatural . Anyone who knows me will say I am almost obsessed , unless they happen to be Laran , who knows I am . Laran loves Death Note . We both love to write . Never in our wildest dreams did we ever think we 'd be writing an alternate universe / crossover between the two . What started as a several chapter story has turned into a novel . The story had a life of its own . This saga begins towards the end of season 4 and before L truly got involved with the Death Note . This is a story of healing , family , friendship , humor , and horror . We do not own either show or its characters , but I 'd take Dean in a heartbeat . We make no money from them . Thank you for reading . Comments are highly appreciated . Dean turned over feeling the coolness of the room on his face . Opening his eyes , he stared into a pair of brilliant blue ones staring intently at him . He jumped , a loud " Whoa ! " being exclaimed . " Damn it , Cas . Personal space , man ! " Dean turned to look at the detective . His lip felt incredibly sore and stiff . He looked at the pillow noticing the slight blood stains . It had oozed some during the night , meaning that the stiffness was probably dried blood . Sighing softly he inched out the blankets so as not to wake Lisa . . He got up and headed to the bathroom . He return a few minutes later and put a pot of coffee on and a tea kettle . Turning to look at the fire , he noted that it was low . Walking past the angel , Dean muttered , " Excuse me , Cas . " Soon a roaring fire was burning . Dean knelt , feeling it 's warmth on his face . He got up and moved towards the couch and sat down on the opposite end from the detective . The hunter looked up at the angel . " I was wondering if you were coming back or not . I figured you were out taking care of one of your other projects . " " I hope you ward is all right . You missed all the fun , but hell , we got another day of it . I 'm assuming it 's still coming down outside ? " " A few days ? It 's about four days to Thanksgiving and we are not going to be able to even thaw out the turkey . Well , Bobby , Sam , and I are used to that , but no one else here is . Damn it . I so wanted things to go right this year . " " Why can it not go well ? Put the turkey in front of the fireplace to thaw , then roast it pilgrim style , " he pointed out . " Use the small stove there to make the fixings . I believe there is enough baked goods to make things even more pleasant for everyone . This will just have to be done as the pilgrims did . " " Famous ? No , a small girl in India , " he said with a smile . " And I know because I had a charge during that time period . I watched them prepare the original feast . " Dean stared , a look of confusion on his face . He shook his head to clear it . " Okay . Two questions . Was your charge during the pilgrim feast one of the famous ones ? Why are you having to watch a little girl in India ? She got some special thing that 's gonna to happen her ? " " No , not famous . A simple Puritan boy back in the day , " he said . " And I do not only watch the ones with big plans in their future , Dean . I also watch out for the ones that have simple lives that will touch a few that they interact with . " " Yeah , well . . . I filled those already , Cas . I don 't have any more big plans ahead of me , do I ? " Troubled eyes stared up at the angel standing near the fire . The angel looked over at L and met his dark eyes . L would not know what was ahead for him . Only the Father knew and had told Cas to continue to be there for Dean and Sam . The detective must not die . He would suicide if they are not involved . It was not the time yet . " There is something we must speak of later , " he murmured . " Now is not the time but trust me , this is more along the lines of something different than you know . At the moment , you have started a new path . You will not walk it alone . " Dean just stared in shock . He got up to check on the tea kettle and coffee . His hands were shaking at this point . He had thought his hunting days were down to an occasional job for L . The apocalypse had been averted . He poured water over a tea bag , put it on a plate , and brought it with sugar cubes and creamer to L . " I would love some , Dean . Thank you , " he said . He didn 't need to eat human food but enjoyed it at times , thanks to Dean 's influence . Dean fixed Cas ' tea the way he knew angel drank it . Turning to take the tea to his friend , he almost dropped it . Cas was about two feet from him . The angel took the mug from the hunter . Dean 's eyes showed he was upset , but said nothing , except , " Oh ! Here you go , Cas . " The human followed the angel back to the main part of the room . He went and sat on the pallet next to a sleeping Lisa . He suddenly felt scared . Dean up looked from where was sitting , staring at the woman he was about to marry . " There 's not a warm spot in this cabin , except this room , Cas . I 'm in my pajamas . Give me a minute grab my coat and gloves . " Castiel led him into the kitchen , then silenced the room so no one would hear him . " What is coming , I can only give a few hints and reassurances . The person in the line of fire is the detective , " he told him . " The Father has seen what is coming ahead and wants you and Samuel to aid L in it . If he does not have the help of you both and Bobby 's guidance , he will not survive the coming case . " " If he dies , the losses will be catastrophic and the good that L will do will be diminished , " he said . " His death will cause a lot of problems . It must be averted , " he told him . " You will be needed to help him and prevent anything happening to L and the others . " Dean tried to put a lighter tone to his voice , but it was difficult . " Double duty , then . When will this happen ? How much time do we have at home before this happens , Cas ? " " I am not sure , " he said . " You will know when it does . L will be asking for your aid now that he knows you two . " " He 's only asked for it once so far . We did a job in Pennsylvania with Mello . Cas , this job that is going to be so important . . . will it cause danger to Lisa , Ben , and Sarah ? " " No , " he answered . " As long as they keep their heads down and remain law abiding citizens . Dean , you must not share anything I have told you with the others . Sam and Bobby may know when you can pull them aside . However , we cannot affect the course of what will be . Even I cannot affect this . " Dean looked at the angel in front of him . " Maybe it 's better if don 't say anything to anyone . I don 't want to ruin the holidays for anyone , Cas . " Dean walked over to the refrigerator and opened the freezer section . Shaking his head , he turned and walked towards the main room , following the angel . After entering the room he went to his duffel and pulled out some clothes . Everyone was still asleep except Sam who was now drinking a cup of coffee , and L who had a second cup of tea . Dean stayed in the big room and began to get dressed . He reached over for his boots . " There 's no turkey in the kitchen freezer . I don 't imagine anything else is in there either . I 'm going to grab an empty box and go get the stuff in the storeroom outside . Be back in a bit , " Dean answered as he grabbed his coat from the pile near the door . " It 's a big bird , " he told his brother . " Give me a few and I 'll go with you to help . " " You 're right . They 're not gonna let me walk in this . The groceries need to be brought in . It gives me a minute . " " Yup and I 'm helping , so no one can say you 're trying to overdo . That and I had a feeling you needed to talk . You looked a bit upset after you came back in with Cas , " he told him . Dean stopped outside the storeroom and looked up to meet the taller man 's eyes . Sam could the see the ice that was coming down sticking to his brother 's eyebrows and lashes . Dean was at a loss for words for the moment . He wanted to tell his brother , but didn 't want to ruin anything . " I think we may be facing something as big as the apocalypse , Sammy . It involves L . If we don 't handle this right , they could all die . Cas said everyone knowing could change the future . He said you and I are trusted by L and we would save him . Bobby would be the adviser helping L . L would listen to him , I guess . I got scared about the girls and Ben . He said that as long as they behave themselves , stay low , there would be no problems . I sure as hell hope he 's right . " Dean tried to open the storage room , but the lock was frozen with ice over it . " Ah , damn it . You got a lighter ? " " You know how L is . He will call on this one . It 's gonna be bad , Sam . Cas said if L dies it will be catastrophic . I 'm not crazy about those words . I owe L my life . I 'm not gonna let him down . " " I can see why it 'd be bad if L 's life is at risk . The boys really aren 't old enough yet to take over , " Sam said . " It 'd be like giving Ben a gun and throwing him into a hunt . It 's something none of them are ready for . Ben will never have to live our lives , and the boys are still being educated to follow in L 's footsteps . We 've got to do what we can to help them . " " I am just worried about the girls and Ben . I haven 't had the greatest luck with love , Sammy . I don 't want to lose this . I have to do this , but will Lisa understand the risks and not leave ? " " I hope so , Sammy . I can 't give her any warning . I sure as hell have no idea what we 're up against to even get ready for it . Cas doesn 't seem to know . He won 't tell us if he does . Something about messing what has to happen and the damage that could be done . It 's like a time travel thing , I think . You don 't want to mess anything up . I don 't know . My mind is screwed up right now . I thought we 'd be doing simple hunts for L . I just never expected anything like this . " Dean finally got enough heat to the lock to melt the ice . He unlocked the door and both entered the storeroom and out of the storm . Sam 's voice was soft . " All we have to do is tell them that L gave us the mission through Ryuuzaki , and Cas said that it was vital we make sure that L remains alive . She 'll understand that . " " Yeah , she will . She 's got to , " Dean answered softly in return . For a second a look of mischief crossed his face . " Yours will want to hunt with you . " Dean set the box on the floor and walked to the large freezer . He found the turkey . He picked it up and turned , bumping into his brother . " Yeah ? " . Dean nodded , " Good . Let me go put my partner in the box . " Moving around his brother , he placed the large bird in the box and turned to look at the shelves of food . " Well , we can 't make home made stuffing . There 's no way to bake it . We could put some in the bird , but 's going to be a strange roasting in the fireplace . I 'm thinking about putting it in a that large Dutch oven up on the top shelf . We can set it inside the fireplace on some of the logs that have charcoaled and put coals on top . Gonna take a long time . I figure we 'll need to cook it overnight , possibly . I can 't guarantee the temperature . We 'll heap the wood coals around it . Should work , I would think . Just in case they don 't want to make stuffing for just the bird , we can grab a few boxes of the stuffing mixes over there . Almost everything is supposed to bake . We can boil and mash potatoes . We could have corn on the cob . There won 't be pies or cakes , but there 's plenty of cookies in the kitchen . I think Lisa made candy and some brownies of some kind . That will have to do . What do you think , Sammy . " " She 's got cookies and baked goods , so we 're good there . I think we can slice things up for a relish tray and use some of the homemade bread in place of rolls . Cranberry sauce , I think that 's in the fridge , " he said softly . " There 's corn on the cob in the big freezer . The potatoes are in a bin over there . I bet they got freezer burn bad . The breads are the kitchen . Cranberry sauce is in the refrigerator over there . . I 'll grab the stuff on the shelves first . If you want to look in the refrigerator out here , and see what is salvageable for a relish tray . There should be some cheeses at least . I see some olives up here on the shelf . There 's several kinds of pickles . Do people eat pickles on Thanksgiving , Sammy ? " Dean was putting the items he found on the shelf that he had mentioned in the box while he talked . Dean had the box filled to the brim , and looked at the remaining items that needed to go into the cabin . He stood up and looked for a container to carry food in . He remembered seeing a plastic bin in Near 's solarium . " I 'll be right back We need something to carry the rest of this in and I know where there 's one . " " I can bring the rest . Go ahead and hit the main kitchen . It 's all got to thaw and the room is not hot enough , so we need every minute we 've got . " The older brother entered the solarium They had set up some special burners with hot coals and in them . He put some new ones in them and realized they needed to check the green houses . He made a pass through to reset fires . He did not want to lose everything . Walking out from the last green house , he picked up the plastic bin and headed towards the storeroom when he saw his brother , Watari , Mello , and Matt . Dean froze . He he looked at each face . Sam and Watari 's worried him . " I 'm in trouble , right ? " " No , you 're fine . Skin is a good color . Actually , we 're glad you thought of getting this ahead of time . Where were you heading next , " Watari asked him . " I was heading back to the storeroom . I needed something to put the Dutch oven and the remaining food in this bin . I remembered seeing it in Near 's solarium . We can put the turkey in it and set it near the fire place so it will thaw in time . " " Not that I can think of . I 've just got to get the Dutch down off the top shelf . The food is all over the counter space in there . I 'll load it around and on top of the Dutch oven and bring it on in . " Dean smiled , reached over and retrieved the bin from Mello who , thinking Watari was going to have them do it , had taken the container from him , and headed towards the storeroom . He finished loading the bin . It took a few minutes to get the Dutch oven down but he managed it . He felt a little more confident when no one took the job away from him and the compliment over the green houses and solarium helped him also . He walked up to the patio and worked to the get door open with the large container in his arms . " Thanks , Near . Does Watari know you are out here in stocking feet ? " Dean kept walking as he talked . " Let 's get this inside before you catch pneumonia or something . " They passed Sam on the way through . Near opened the last door and Dean entered . " Thanks , Near . Go sit by the fire and warm up . Where do you want this ? The bin will be perfect for the putting the turkey in to thaw . Lis ? Sarah ? " Dean had not realized how early he had fallen asleep the night before . The confusion in his eyes was almost comical . " I 'll just set it over here ? " he asked softly , setting the bin on the other side of the table . " Go on back to sleep . I 'm sorry I woke you . " Dean stood up after setting the bin down . His face was rather red from the ice and wind . He looked at his brother and shrugged , looking much younger then his age . He took his gloves off and tried to unbutton his coat . Sam watched his brother as he fumbled with numb fingers , a look of frustration forming on his face . Instead of getting the coat unbuttoned , he walked to the fire and put his hands out , trying to warm them and get them working . Sam slipped up beside him , unbuttoning the coat for him . " Too cold out there , " he murmured , getting the garment undone for him . " Cas said another system was right behind this one . I 'm glad we 're pretty self sufficient here . " Dean was quiet for a second . He looked into his brother 's hazel eyes and a half smile formed . " Thanks , Sammy . Yeah , I 'm glad too . I 'm gonna have to find better gloves then what they sold me . " That would be great . Sammy , " Both men looked up as Watari brought them a cup of hot tea . Dean smiled his thanks and went to sit down on the pallet next to his fianceé . The older man sat and watched the proceedings , holding onto the mug of tea with both hands . His fingers were stiff and tingling unmercifully . He kept quiet about it . It was bad enough he couldn 't unbutton his coat . Watari took one of Dean 's hands , checking it over . " Not frostbitten , " he murmured . " Keep them around the cup . It 'll help . " Dean looked up at the older man . " I 'm fine , sir , " he said softly . " My fingers are numb and my whole hands are tingling like an electrical shock . They were just cold too long . " " Why does Dad call Watari , ' Sir , ' like that ? He sounds like a private in an Army movie and Watari is a general . Why does he do that ? " " It 's not the same . Watari takes care of everyone and he 's a good cook , but Dad acts like he 's his boss and maybe Dad 's afraid Watari won 't like something he did . It 's weird . You and Uncle Sam don 't do that . Nobody else does . It 's just Dad . " Bobby listened for a moment , thinking . " Watari is a capable person who has saved your dad in a special way . It 's definitely someone he respects a good deal . " " That 's all it is ? I thought Dad was afraid to make him mad . He always asks him ' Did I do something wrong ? ' I didn 't understand why he did that . I thought Ryuuzaki did as much for him . I guess I was wrong . Thanks . " Dean held onto the warmth of the tea as he slowly drank the dark brew . He watched his son talking to his adopted grandfather , wondering what was so interesting . He sighed . the last week had been so busy . He hadn 't had time to talk much with either one of them . He needed to take care of that . Dean watched his son join Mello and Matt on their pallet . He got up and walked over and sat down next to the man he thought of as his Dad . " You look comfortable enough . " " The pillow fight yesterday was fun , wasn 't it ? " Bobby looked at the swollen lip and slightly bruised nose and just waited . Dean finally looked at him , " We need to talk later . " Dean looked back at his son . " He all right ? He sure looked serious when he was talking to you . " " That means a lot . Sam and I were doing something . . . maybe in the garden . We may have been eating . I 'm not sure . Something happened and Watari got rather upset . That 's probably not right . A lot of those days run together . I only know that I thought that he was reprimanding me like Dad used to do . That locked itself in my mind for a long time . I couldn 't handle being yelled at . I know I stiffened and said , ' Yes , Sir . ' . All I could think of was don 't yell at me . Some how it came down to needing his approval . I 've been getting better , but I still want his approval and respect . I say , " Sir , " now because I respect him and his authority . It 's a story I can 't tell Ben . I sure as hell wouldn 't tell Watari or L . The reason is back there , but it 's changed because I 've changed . " " I think I am , I have lapses but not as many as before . I 'm not just trying to heal me but relationships too . It 's not easy . Everyone laughed and the day turned to normal things , consisting of cooking , cleaning up , talking , and playing games . Most of the week went this way . Castiel would come and go . Wednesday night , Watari and the girls made stuffing and put it in the turkey . Sam had made a place for the Dutch oven . Cas showed him how it was done centuries before . The turkey was placed in the fireplace . Sam set his alarm because it was the loudest in the room . Someone would baste the turkey , rebank the fire , and Sam would reset his alarm . Everyone slept well as the night turned to the wee morning hours of Thanksgiving and the ice storm broke . It began to snow . Lady Laran and Tisha Wyman Warnings : Bad language , violence , and some sex . Spoilers : My favorite show is Supernatural . Anyone who knows me will say I am almost obsessed , unless they happen to be Laran , who knows I am . Laran loves Death Note . We both love to write . Never in our wildest dreams did we ever think we 'd be writing an alternate universe / crossover between the two . What started as a several chapter story has turned into a novel . The story had a life of its own . This saga begins towards the end of season 4 and before L truly got involved with the Death Note . This is a story of healing , family , friendship , humor , and horror . We do not own either show or its characters , but I 'd take Dean in a heartbeat . We make no money from them . Thank you for reading . Comments are highly appreciated . Watari nodded , looking things over . " Matt , Mello , Near , go into our wing and retrieve all the blankets and pillows . Dean , Sam , and Bobby , I suggest you do the same in yours . We can set up pallets in here and the heat from the bodies will help keep it warmer . Lisa , Sarah , you two and I will set up a mini kitchen with the propane stove and do that in here in a corner . We can keep the groceries in the kitchen so that it stays cold . " " Everyone will need warm clothes to do all this . The cabin will get cold fast . There 's also blankets and quilts stored in the attic or loft above the storage building . There should be some boxes in there . We ought to put snacks , canned soups , and extra crackers and things in them and bring them in , " Dean added as he headed towards the patio to grab his coat . " I suggest we bring our coats in here so we don 't have to go the patio to get them when there 's no heat , ' ' his raised voice suggested from the kitchen as he passed through on his way to the coat closet . " Let 's get the food and things out of the attic first , " he said , handing jackets to Matt and Mello . " Near , you and Ryuuzaki start in our wing while the others do that as well . Divide and conquer , we 'll get this done fast so no one gets sick . " Dean followed Bobby and helped get his items and warmer clothes together . As soon as they were hauled into the main room , he headed to Sam 's wing and up the stairs . " Hey , Sammy . What do you want me to take down stairs ? " Dean grabbed an armful of quilts and headed down the stairs . As he entered the big room , he saw Sarah and Lisa setting up . " Where do you want these , Sarah ? " Dean set the quilts where Sarah had said , when he saw Lisa battling the propane stove . He walked over , put his arms around her waist , and whispered her ear . " Why don 't you and Ben put on your coats and go get what you need as far as clothes go . I 'll get the quilts after I finish helping Sam . First I 'll get this set up for you . " Dean smiled , " I 'd scale a mountain in this storm for one of yours kisses , Lis . Don 't stay up there too long . " Dean took the propane tank that was on the floor and pushed it under the dining table that had been brought in from the patio . He moved the table out and crawled under , pushing the hose up over the back of the table . He climbed out and stood up and reached for the hose , pulling it to the stove and screwing it into the back . Turning on the tank , he tested each burner , priming the ones that needed it . Pushing the table back , he made sure it was not up against wall so the hose was not crushed . Dean headed back across the main room to Sam and Sarah 's wing . " The stove is ready to use , " he told the young woman who was making pallets . Sarah smiled at him . " Thanks for your help , Dean . That thing is a bugger - bear to get set up . I love the size but dang , it takes a bit to get it going . I was about to ask Bobby for help . " Dean returned the smile , " It 's not a problem , Sarah . Lis was having a difficult time with it . I figure the two of you would have managed after a while . Getting Bobby would have worked , but I was right here , and there is so much to get done . This way , Lisa and Ben are getting warm clothes , Bobby is sorting his stuff over there , you can finish what you 're doing , and I can keep bringing quilts downstairs . " Yeah , I 'll be glad to , Sarah , as soon as I get the next stack of quilts I promised Sam I 'd bring down . , " Dean headed back to Sam 's wing , and paused at the door . " I just thought of something . Where 's Ryu ? He 's supposed to be helping Near . " " So , they 're saying we can 't repair the electrical right away , , " Dean wasn 't questioning the report . He was mulling over the facts . " Let Sam know that Near needed me . " Dean headed quickly to the hallway that been added on to go to Ryu 's wing Bpbby stood up from making his pallet . " Dean , I 'll help Sam . " Dean kept moving , but responded with a " Thanks , Bobby " as he disappeared through the door . Dean kept going from Ryu 's to the main room , hauling massive amounts of quilts , blankets , pillows , and warm clothing . He had Near stack what was needed outside of each room and he made the hauls . He was on his eighth one when everyone was starting to return to the big room . Near had clothing out as well , knowing it would be needed . Matt came up to help , hauling the stuff out as well . The temperature was dropping fast . Dean set the eighth load down and turned towards Mello . " Can you help Matt and Near with the clothing ? " Dean looked over to where Lisa and Ben were setting their clothing . " I need to get our quilts and pillows down . " The blond hurried up to do that and Ryuuzaki offered to help bring down the bedding . " Thanks , Ryu , " Dean said as the detective followed him into his wing and up the stairs . Dean entered Ben 's bedroom and placed the quilts and pillows in the hall . He entered the master bedroom and grabbed every quilt and pillow he could find . He opened closets and found a few more . Going into the hallway , he walked down to the end of the hall and opened a large door . There was more bedding on some of the shelves . Dean grabbed a large pile and turned to see Sam and Bobby helping Ryu grab what was by the bedroom doors . He smiled and headed back down the hall towards the stairs . " I think this is all of it . " " It could be worse , Bobby . We could be hunting somewhere . The pallets are thick . We got plenty of quilts . There 's body heat . We all share pallets . No one sleeps alone . " " That works . I know that some of you prefer bare feet , but not in this . It 's too blasted cold . You at least wear warm socks . Keep the feet warm . There 's wool stocking caps . Wear them . I read somewhere that body heat leaves faster through the head and feet . I don 't know how true that is , but it makes sense in a crazy kind of way , so we wear them . " Dean held up some pajamas that he knew he and Lisa did not buy . " Okay , who the hell put these in my case ? " Dean held up a pair of pajamas that showed a man in a kilt and it said " Scots do it with no underwear . " Dean grinned , " Well , it 's not exactly the reminder I wanted to have after the party last night , but it seems to be the only pajamas that Lisa packed . Were she and Sarah in on it ? I mean how did she get them ? " Dean started taking off his shirts and putting on the the pajama top , he sat down on the pallet and removed his boots . He inched out of his jeans on the floor , and put on a pair of flannel boxers , pajama bottoms , and woolen socks . He grabbed the heavy robe and put it on along with his slippers . " Hell , it 's funny , Sammy . It actually is . " Dean was fastening his robe when Sam mentioned pranks . " Those are fighting words , Sammy . You trying to alleviate the boredom of being snowbound in one room ? " Dean stared up into his brother 's face . The hazel eyes were wide , and the shaggy hair looked as uncontrollable as it was when they were on a major hunt . The shorter man noted the movements of his brother 's hands and thought , " You 're nervous . " Dean smiled a sweet smile and went to the stove and put on a pot of coffee . He lifted the lid on the large pot . There was a leftover soup being reheated . It was on very low because it had a lot of ice in it . Dean stirred it and closed the lid . Walking over to the pallet Lisa had fixed for them , he stretched out and smiled , thinking he 'd have to come up with something . The women had changed and come back into the room . Lisa looked around and put her hands on her waist . " Okay , crazy not to be what ? What are you two up to ? " Dean raised his head from the pillow , " Why do you automatically assume it 's us ? It 's Sam , Lis . He could be crazy not to be just about anything . " Dean rolled quickly to avoid the couch cushion Sam tossed at him . He stood up , clutching the cushion . " Pillow fight ? Okay . " Before anyone realized what was happening , Sam and Dean were throwing pillows from every pallet they could reach . Dean held onto the couch cushion and was slowly maneuvering his brother into a corner . " Sam , you got my back ? Cause I 'm going in ! " Dean turned towards the two teens , swinging the couch cushion . He caught Mello upside the head and watched him dive to a pallet to avoid another hit . He grinned at Matt , his hand going up and the point finger doing a come here motion . The red head gave him a snicker , ducking for cover when Ben threw a cushion at his dad . Mello grinned , encouraging the boy to play with them . He knew he needed more time with him like this , and a pillow fight was just what was needed . Dean stopped and stared at Ben . " You think you 're big enough to take on your old man ? Come on . " Dean was still swinging the couch cushion . " Sammy , what the hell are you doing ? I 'm up against three . Dean turned towards his brother , " You going dark side on me , Sammy ? They attacked us ! Why the hell would you take their side ? " About that time three pillows caught Dean on the head from three different directions . " Damn it , Sam . I got three of them . You really gonna make it four ? " A small cushion went flying , catching Sam on the head . All eyes turned to where Near was crouched , watching them . " Did he just do that , " Matt asked . Dean was so surprised he dropped his guard . " Near ? " About that time four people hit him with pillows . He could not find a way out of the trap they had him in . They had come in close and he had no room to maneuver . " I swear , Sammy , I 'm gonna get you . " Dean crawled a short distance , and looked up trying to find pillows while Sam and Mello were down . It evened things a little . He spotted a long rolled pillow that lay across the back of the couch . Lisa had said it aided in easing stiff necks . Dean snickered at that and grabbed the five and a half foot cushion and went barreling back into the fray . Dean went in with full force , at war . He grinned at his brother , as he was knocking each one of them off their feet . Ben tried running but got hit from behind . Lisa moved over to Sarah . " You remember the water gun fight ? He nearly won . By himself , he took us all on . They 're going to have a hard time stopping him . He 's found a good weapon . " " You 're right , it doesn 't . Do you think he 'll win , or will Sam pull something on him ? If Dean had been in perfect health during that water fight , I think we would have lost . Sometimes I forget just how dangerous he can be . Not with us but others . Right now , though , he 's a big kid . " " It 's how it should be , " Watari answered , sitting beside the ladies . " It 's good to see Near playing a bit too . It 's rare when he does with others . Most of the time , it 's individual play . " The older Winchester grabbed Mello 's right leg and pulled him over by Sam who had not gotten up yet . He looked at them and pointed , " Stay there . " He looked around for the teen in white . " Near ? can you keep them down while Iround up the other two ? " " Near can try , " he said , lobbing the smaller pillows to do just that . Matt ducked , trying to get out of the way . The computer genius was not going to be thwarted if he could help it . Dean went after Matt with a vengeance . He lobbed small pillows he found , forcing the red head towards the center of the room . Running , swiftly he swung the long pillow . Matt threw himself to the floor and Dean grabbed a leg and began to drag the teen to where the other two were piled . He raised his voice , " Ben , they 're all captured . Surrender now , Son . " Ben had hidden under the far end of the dining table , away from the propane stove . He had piled sofa cushions around him for protection and could lean out over cushions to lob pillows . He had a supply of them . Dodging pillows , Dean dropped to his hands and knees and crawled towards the mini fortress set up by his son . He kept the long cushion with him . " No one sees what the littlest one is doing , " he chimed , smacking his dad straight in the face with a well aimed throw . " Ow ! Dammit , Ben ! That 's it . I would 've played nice , but this . . . this . . . is too smart for your own good . I " m coming after you big time now . " " Since it 's four to two , there 's no one to free you guys . Get back in your pile . That 's the rules of the game . " Dean stood up and and walked to the table . Reaching down , he started grabbing cushions and throwing at the two teens who were breaking the rules . He looked down at his son , who grabbed a cushion and hit him hard in the head . Dean reached up and touched his nose and top lip . They were both bleeding . The zipper on the cushion caught him . He frowned , leaned down and grabbed a slippered foot . " That 's it . I win . " He picked his son up and carried him like a tow sack , holding him with one arm while using the long cushion to force the two teens back to were Sam was . At this point , Sam jumped him from behind and Dean went down on his knees trying to set Ben down before he hurt him . " Damn it , Sammy . That 's cheating ! " Ben scrambled out of the way and Mello and Matt went for Dean also . Before the long the , the older hunter was flat on his stomach , with Sam on top of him holding his head to the ground . " Do you surrender ? " Dean mumbled a " Hell no ! " They could all hear muffled cursing where Dean 's face was buried against the floor . " You surrendering , Dean ? " Dean tried to shake his head , no . He grinned , pointing at the mess they 'd made . " I think Mom 's gonna make us clean this up , " he snickered . " We sorta made a big mess . " Dean looked around for Near who had been keeping the others in the pile . Near had been outnumbered . They both had been . " Near , where ever you are , are you okay ? " " Dean , clean up the blood and take care of the injuries . Sam , Matt , Mello , you three put everything back . Near you will help remake the pallets , and Ben and Dean can help you when they get back , " Lisa said firmly He went to the larger of the two duffels he had brought down . Sam recognized it immediately . Everyone was working as Dean unzipped the duffel and found the medical supplies that he and Sam kept up to date . Since they were doing hunts for L once in a while , Dean kept the duffel intact . He had no mirror in this room and the bathroom would be too dark to see . He felt his upper lip . It had swollen and was still bleeding . He checked his nose . It wasn 't broken but it was bleeding . He could imagine what he looked like . He shook his head , placed a small cotton pad that he cut up inside the nostrils to staunch the bleeding . He got up and walked to the kitchen , opening the door and disappearing inside the frozen room . Near broke the silence by working to remake the pallets while Watari went to check on Dean . The Englishman looked at the other . " Are you all right ? " " Yeah , Watari . I got cotton pad cut and in my nose . My upper lip is swollen and still bleeding . I need ice . Not gonna find any in the main room . It 's freakin cold in here . I just want to get a couple of cubes , wrap them in something and put them on my lip . Applied pressure and the ice should bring the swelling down and stop the bleeding . I 'll be right out . Yes , I know I don 't have a coat on . " The older man made a small ice pack for him and handed it to him . " It looks as if you and the boys had a good time . I 'm glad Near felt comfortable enough to join . " " Yeah , " Dean said softly . " It 's the first time he 's played with all of us . It 's a day to remember . " " I 'd laugh with you , but I think it would hurt , so I 'll just agree with you and leave it at that . Let 's get out of here . It 's freezing . " Dean stood behind the couch which had had its cushions returned . He watched his brother interact with the four boys . He started to smile , hissed softly , and place the wrapped ice back against his mouth , sighing . Ben looked at him , eyes wide . " Didn 't you know ? We decided to eat you first if we run out of food . " He ducked , giggling hard when the other boys , outside of Near , began cracking up . " Well , you know , I 'm a little too big to cook inside this room . You 'd have to roast me and that 's an outside job . Now , someone your size just might be made to fit in the fireplace . " " Not enough of me to go around ! You 're big enough ! Ohh , we could make sweet and sour pork ! Yum . . Chinese food Dad style ! " Dean walked around the couch , robe open from all the activity and the girls saw his pajamas . The reminder had Sam laughing , " We could have sweetbreads too , " he commented . Dean 's eyes grew wide as he turned back and looked at the man sitting on the floor . " Are you nuts ? " A peal of laughter from the girls made him realized what he 'd said , and Dean turned bright red again . " I 'm grateful somebody doesn 't know . " Dean walked over to the pallet where Lisa was sitting and laid back down , using her lap for a pillow . She poked his head . " Still work to be done . . a few more pallets need fixing . " Dean pulled the cloth covered plastic with two melted ice cubes all but gone in it . The cloth had a lot of blood on it . He touched his upper lip with a clean edge and it came back clean . He put the cloth in his duffel to be taken care of later . The white haired one nodded , then went to sit on his own pallet . It was quiet but not in a bad way , which he didn ' 't mind . Dean walked over to Lisa and laid back down with his head in her lap . Lisa looked down at the red nose and the busted , swollen upper lip . He had to be hurting , but was not showing any signs of it , other then the slight wince he 'd given earlier when they were all laughing and smiling . Dean relaxed , feeling her fingers in his hair , finding it soothing for some reason he didn 't understand . Lisa felt his body slowly losing the tension it had had . His eyes started to close and he 'd jerk awake . ' Yeah . I am tired , " Dean yawned and winced . The woman fingering through his hair heard a soft , muttered , " Damn it . " He moved a little trying to get more comfortable . Slowly his eyes clothes . In about two minutes his breathing slowed to a steady rhythm . His body totally relaxed . After a while , she covered him up and just let him rest with his head in her lap . Dean slept through the reminder of the evening and through the night . Soon it was quiet in the big room . Sam settled the fire so the room would be warm all evening . He laid down with Sarah and soon they were asleep also .
