Staring Up At Where the Moon Should Be
By Spinny Roses
Prologue
Late October, 2005
When X5-494 was six, he had his one and only unannounced visitor. It wasn't until he heard Lydecker raising his voice that he realized one of his normal visitors was busting his way through. X5-494 looked up, bored, as the sound of leather/denim/testosterone stopped by his bed. "Oh, damn, it's you."
"Hey, dude." The man reached down, shaking 494's leg. "Need your help."
"And I'd like a dog."
"Punk," he muttered. "Look, Dad's missing."
494 didn't even lift his head. "So what does that have to do with me?"
"Dad's missing," he said again, stressing the words. One hand reached up to scratch at the back of his neck. "And he was hunting something. Something big, and something's just wrong. I need-"
"My help finding him?" The transgenic just snorted. "Lydecker isn't going to let you take me. And even if you managed to get me out... what? It'd be 'Dean Winchester and his little brother that looks exactly like him only younger, X5-494'?"
"Smart ass." Dean rolled his eyes, and slapped his foot. "Get moving."
"You know Lydecker isn't going to let one of his X5s go out on a stupid ghost hunt. Don't you have a little brother? Go get him, drag him out."
"Sammy's at college," Dean started, anger smoldering under his words.
"Learning something important like I would be here at Manticore." 494 just smirked at the long-suffering look on Dean's face. "Besides, Sammy believes in all that creepy crawly shit. Go bother him."
"Whatever." Dean just ran a hand through his hair, leaving his dorm. 494 smirked, settling back and closing his eyes. Damn, but he hated meeting his sperm donor and genetic twin. All that stupid shit about monsters and demons and crap. Who the fuck believes in that shit?
---
"He didn't agree to it."
Dean shot the colonel a dark look, rubbing the back of his neck. "But you already knew that." Before Lydecker could do more than look smug, he shot back with, "So, how's the poltergeist problem?"
Lydecker didn't even hesitate. "Activity has decreased."
Dean just let his lips curl in the smile the colonel didn't use. "Nice to know." He started out of the compound, throwing out over his shoulder, "Thanks for letting me see him, at least."
"No more unauthorized visits, 235" was all Lydecker could say before Dean Winchester closed the door.
