It was two weeks after Ben had come back from the djinn, and he knew that he was being clingy. Dean had better things to do than watch out for his mentally challenged kid, and Ben wanted to get back to some kind of normalcy. Something that didn't remind him of his alternative life on a consistent basis. And so he decided to go back to Stanford ( Read more... )

Sam had decided to wait until they had Ben back and had made their way back to Seattle before having the wedding. They really were not planning on anything big - let's face it, Sam and Ruby hadn't made a lot of friends in the last two decades. But there were family and a few friends who would be welcome, and Sam was someone who really cared about ( Read more... )

Michael had hesitated with talking to Ben about this for some time, mostly because he knew that things were still fuzzy for him. He had to adjust to twenty years of "memories" that weren't real, and Michael knew that that alone would take some time, and he was willing to give it, but now some time had passed and Ben seemed to be doing better. Now ( Read more... )

Sam pulled the Impala up outside of the hospital, parking in the visitor spot before looking over at Ruby a moment, then into the backseat where Anna was.

Ben started awake at the sound of a gunshot and sat up straight. He looked around the room with foggy eyes until they settled on the television that was still on across the room.

ooc: three weeks after the Michael/Lucifer showdown.The cramped car probably wasn't the best place to have fallen asleep, but snuggled in the backseat with Anna on top of him in his arms? He wasn't complaining. Tilting his head back, he could see the sun starting to rise over the mountains and smiled ( Read more... )

He hadn't questioned finding his car outside the hospital. The familiar lines of Layla was a beacon to him in a word he was quickly not able to recognize. He stumbled out of the hospital, looking back at it a moment before collapsing against his car. The spare keys were under the door and he got in, then tore out of town as fast as the speed ( Read more... )

"Boy, if you even think about swiping any of that icing, you're not gettin' any after Ben's blown out the candles."

Dean paused, his finger midway to the cake, before turning to look at Mama with a completely innocent look on his face. His intention had been to steal some of the icing from the cake, but he wasn't about to actually admit that. "I ( Read more... )

It was a Friday afternoon in the middle of September and Ben was in his dorm room, nose deep in a book. Freshman year at Stanford's school of Engineering and Ben was already in over his head.
