Summary: "I'm not trying to mess with you, Dean. It's what you said. Leverage. The vamps can use Lisa and Ben against you."
Reccer's notes: This fic revisits one of the unsolved knots S6 left behind: Dean and Lisa. It doesn't quite resolve it either, but that's exactly right; things are still messed up after you read this, but that's exactly what's so satisfying and real about it. Her robo!Sam is perfect, detached and thinking he got it all figured out when he really doesn't quite get anything, and her Lisa is amazing, resolute but caring and all around like the woman I fell in love with in the show.
[Short excerpt]Sam found himself waiting to see what Lisa would do. Dean hadn't exactly been forthcoming about what had gone down with Lisa and Ben while he'd been vamped last time or about what had happened when he'd finally gotten her on the phone afterwards. And Sam hadn’t seen his brother melt down this completely in years, not even during the worst of their fighting over Ruby and the demon blood. Certainly never in front of a civilian. Sam’s old self, the one who had lived through the memories he had of Dean before Stull, would have been appalled. All he could muster up now was a mild curiosity.
