"Morning," Ty greeted, his face still slightly blurry for the other occupants in the room.
Faith looked up, pulling at her chains slightly.
"How are my little friends doing this morning?"
"Just great, actually. Room service isn't overly good, though."
Dean
"Why are we here?" Dean demanded, not moving.
"And what did you do with my brother?"
Ty and Faith
"I would be more concerned with your own wellbeing, rather than Sam's."
Ty smirked.
"He's fine. Probably more than a little bit paranoid that you two have disappeared."
Faith sighed, long and lingering. "If you're going to kill us, get on with it. You're boring."
~*~*~*~
Ty snapped his fingers, images of Dean and Faith burning filling Sam's head.
Dean & Sam
"I'm not worried," Dean smirked, "you can't do any worse than what's already been done, so bring it on shorty."
~*~
Sam's eyes jolted open and he sat up in bed.
"Not again," he breathed, eyes searching the dark motel room.
Faith and Ty
"Yeah, as far as kidnappings go, this one is kinda lacking," Faith said, glancing at Dean.
Ty pulled a lighter from his pocket.
"It's about to get more exciting, trust me."
~*~*~*~
"Thought you'd like to see them burn, Sammy."
Dean & Sam
Dean leant back into the wooden pole he was so heavily chained to, eyes on the wood surrounding them.
~*~
Sam's eyes widened at the voice in his head. He jumped from the bed and spun around, as if looking for something... or someone.
"Who are you?!" he demanded, circling.
Faith and Ty
Faith's eyes never left Ty as he flicked the lighter on and off casually.
~*~*~*~
"A friend."
Ty let Sam see the warehouse they were in.
Sam & Dean
"Why are you doing this?" Sam demanded with a cringe, wishing this... demon or whatever it was would show itself so he could exorcise it already.
~*~
"Why us?" Dean asked with a small gulp, eyes never leaving him either.
Ty and Faith
"Because, my boy, I have grand plans for you," Ty said to Sam. "Plans that don't involve the whore and your brother."
~*~*~*~
"Why, Sammy, of course!" Ty said, chuckling. "He's not going to go darkside with you two around, is he?"
Faith rolled her eyes. "This is a lame plan."
Sam & Dean
"I really wish people would stop saying that to me," Sam said through his teeth, eyeing the keys to the car he'd stolen two nights ago.
~*~
"Go ahead then, kill me," Dean sneered.
"I've already come back once, what makes you think I won't a second time?"
Ty and Faith
"There's not going to be anything left for you to come back to," Ty smirked. "No body left to inhabit."
"Well thought out," Faith said sarcastically. "And me? I'm just here... for funsies?"
~*~*~*~
"Second thoughts... maybe I'll keep the girl for myself. She looks like she'd be fun to play with."
Ty flicked the lighter again.
"Can you get to him before he burns?"
~*~*~*~
Ty dropped the lighter.
Dean & Sam
Dean flinched as the heat rose, trying to stay composed.
"I came back without scars," he looked Ty in the eye, "I don't doubt they can give me my body back, however damaged. I guess we'll find out. And the first thing I'm gonna do when I get back? Is kill you."
~*~
Sam's eyes widened.
He lunged for the keys and slammed the door of the room open on his way out. Once he got in the car he stopped, concentrating. He needed a direction to go. The warehouse had looked familiar, but they'd been in that many...
Ty and Faith
"Gotta find us first," Ty said to Dean.
He looked at Faith and walked over slowly.
"Much as I'd love for you to enjoy the show, we've got prior engagements, babe."
~*~*~*~
"See through her eyes," Ty ordered Sam.
~*~*~*~
Faith watched Dean for a moment, before Ty's blurred face appeared in front of her.
Sam & Dean
Sam's eyes opened again, seeing the warehouse clearly. He looked to the left and saw Dean amidst the flames, before looking back at a large blurred shape.
He blinked furiously, returning to reality. He'd seen a window in the vision, and now knew where he had to go.
Kicking the car int reverse, the tyres squealed as he hit the road.
~*~
Meanwhile, Dean struggled with the locks on the chains, knowing it was useless but trying hard nonetheless.
Ty and Faith
"Hoo," Ty breathed. "Hot in here."
He pulled out a syringe and injected the clear liquid into Faith's arm, knocking the Slayer out within seconds.
"See ya, Dean," he said, unlocking Faith's chains before hoisting her over his shoulder. "Taking the girl."
Dean, Sam & Castiel
Dean watched, helpless, as the two left the room.
"A little help would be great about now," he said between his teeth, closing his eyes.
~*~
Sam was racing down the highway, trying to get to the next town in time. He already knew time wasn't on his side, and he hadn't exactly procured a sports car. But he had to try...
Damn him leaving Dean alone.
~*~
Dean jolted as he heard a loud bang, just as the flames were reaching his feet. He looked up at the double doors that had flown open, seeing a familar face.
"Wow. Timing," he breathed.
Castiel raised his hand, the chains binding Dean to the stake shaking with the force, before the locks shattered. The chains were ripped from his body and Dean was pulled foward to the floor with the force.
Choking from the smoke and hitting the ground so hard, Dean took a moment to pull himself up.
"Thanks," he coughed, holding his chest.
"You need to be careful," Castiel warned.
"I know, I know..."
"There are forces at work among you that we haven't forseen," Castiel went on, "not everything around you is as it seems."
"What do you mean?" Dean frowned.
Suddenly, the door behind him flew open. Dean jumped, turning.
"Dean?!" Sam frowned, stepping forward and looking over to where the wood still burned.
Dean turned back, but Castiel was gone. Grunting to himself, he walked over toward Sam.
"What happened?" Sam demanded.
"Long story," Dean shook his head.
"Oh wait, no it isn't. Cass showed up, gave me a cryptic message, and disappeared as usual. I swear one of these days I'm gonna clip his wings. Now where's my damn car?!"
"Where's Faith?" Sam frowned.
"What, suddenly you're worried about her?"
Ty and Faith
Ty glanced at Faith, slumped in the seat next to him. He reached over and slid a hand over her stomach.
"Soon."
