Rory walked for 45 minutes before he came across a store and decided to make use of that $40. He walked up and down ilse to find cheap snacks that were high in protein and would give him energy, as he had little to no clue what he would have to face.

When he was going to check out, he stood behind two large men. Most people would think they were a couple, as they were trying to calm a fussing baby, but Rory was a trained nurse and could tell they were siblings based off mannerisms and features.

"I don't know. You think I speak baby? Maybe he needs a diaper change?"

Rory chuckled from behind them, if the Doctor were here, he would claim to speak baby and fix all the problems.

The tallest of the men turned around, "Mind telling us what you find funny?"

Rory assumed the attitude was from lack of sleep due to the baby, so he didn't take it seriously. "You lot just remind me of a friend of mine. But, if you don't mind, I could help. I'm a nurse, this baby wouldn't be the worst thing I dealt with." Especially if you counted the aliens.

The brothers glanced at each other, before the shorter one shrugged, "Just don't try to run... Or we will find you."

Rory chuckled nervously as he took the baby, "What's his name?"

"Bobby."
"John."The two replied at the same time.

"Bobby-John." The shorter of the two corrected.

A woman behind the group cleared her throat, "If you don't mind, some of us have places to be."

She seemed irritated. Rory apologized and urged the brothers to scoot up.

When they did, Rory looked to the security screen. "That's a strange flare." Her eyes were glowing silver. Rory guessed a perception filter, but the two brothers recognized it as a shapeshifter.

Dean, the shorter one, pulled Rory and Bobby-John behind Sam and himself, "What's the rush?"

The woman smiled, "My boss expects me to be back soon." She then shoved past them and came at Rory with the baby.

Rory's fight or flight kicked in and he ran off with Bobby-John, completely forgetting about the brother's previous threat.

The woman ran after Rory and the Brother's ran after her. They eventually tackled her to the ground and held a blade to her throat.

"Help me!" The shifter shouts as a Store Manager patrols the building.

"Hey!"

"He's hurting me!"

"Get off of her!" The Manager pulls Dean off the Shifter

"Okay, alright. Alright." He surrendered and quickly pocketed the knife before quickly running off after Sam, who had chased down Rory.

Sam and Dean cornered Rory by Sam's car, "How do I know you aren't working with that woman and this isnt some kind of trick? I do I know she wasn't some sort of face-swapping-alien that turning in to a replica of you two?"

Sam rolled his eyes, "Cause there are two of us and One Shifter." He went to reach for the baby, but Rory recoiled.

"Prove it!"

"That strange flare, the one you saw in the camera," Dean started, "was a telltale sign of a shapeshifter, a human with mutated genes. They can recall memories of the people they shift into, but, they are hurt by silver."

He pulled out the knife he had earlier, "This is silver." He then cut his palm and made Sam do it too. When their skin didn't start bubbling, Rory nodded.
