This is like one of my favorite episodes of season 11. I just love how some of the scenes Sam and Dean were being funny in and being a father figure to Claire and Alex. So I thought why not and write a scene with Dean's actual daughter .
Ava is 16 years old.
This is based on season 11, after the darkness was released. So back in season 10 Dean and Ava have issues about removing the mark, so Ava told Sam she wanted to move in with Jody for a while. I will write a chapter on that too.
Chapter 12:
The Bunker, Main Room.
Sam is sitting at the table. Dean enters..
Dean: Did you catch us a case?
Sam: Uh, no. Get this. Some dude took a picture of a weasel riding a flying woodpecker. Midair. It's kinda nuts.
Dean: So, I'm guessing there's nothing on the Amara meter either.
Sam: Uh, no. I'm starting to think that God's psycho sister has gone to ground. What about you, you hear from Cas?
Dean: No. He said he was working on something to draw her out, but... it's been radio silence since he was here.
Sam: Yeah. All this quiet's starting to wake me up.
Dean pulls out his takeout food from a bag and places it on the table, looking very excited.
Sam: What the hell is that?
Dean: That? That's the Elvis.
Sam: Elvis?
Dean: Mmm-hmm.
Sam is reaching out to touch it.
Sam: Is that a - ?
Dean: That's a glazed donut.
Sam: Yeah.
Dean: Two, actually. One topside, one on the bottom. Now, your inferior versions, they'll just take one donut, split it right down the middle. Mmm mm. (Clicks his tongue.) Boom! (Blows a kiss.)
Sam: (Looking slightly amused) Alright, well uh, I hope you enjoy it.
Sam slides it away from him.
Sam: Wow.
Dean looks offended.
Dean: You know there are starving children out there.
Sam: Dude, I'm not gonna survive hundreds of monster attacks to get flatlined by some double donut monstrosity.
Dean: The Elvis!
Dean's phone rings.
Sam: Whatever! How many calories are in that thing?
Dean answers his phone.
Dean: Hey! Long time. Your Caddyshack review is way overdue.
Yeah. You got it. We're there.
Sam looks up as Dean hangs up.
Dean: How do you feel about South Dakota?
Sam: isn't that we're Ava is, is she okay?
Dean: yeah she's fine last. I spoke her, I haven't heard from that kid in months, she's been avoiding me ever since the mark
Sam: can you blame her? She wanted that mark gone way before I did. She knew how much the mark was affecting you Dean, and you gave up
Dean: well let's go check on her anyways to make sure she's doing okay with Jody.
With Ava in Marshall High School, Sioux Falls.
The bell has just rung, and students are leaving for the day. Alex is leaving the building, holding hands with her boyfriend. Ava runs up from behind them.
Ava: *comes up to Alexa* Hey! Word on the street is that I'm in the presence of royalty. Future prom king and queen. You guys are in the lead!
Alex: No way! No I mean - yeah, for you (looking at her boyfriend), Henry, but not me. Also, people still do that? I thought that was like an 80s thing.
Henry: Oh yeah! There's crowns and everything.
Jody Mills watches Alex and Ava at a distance from her truck.
Henry: Come on, let's have fun with it. I'll wear the dress, you wear the tux?
Alex: (Smirking) You don't have the boobs for my dress.
Henry: What? Come on, look at those things.
Alex laughs, then notices one of her teachers walking past.
Alex: Hey, Mr. P!
Mr. P: Alex! Ready for the test tomorrow?
Alex: So not.
Mr. P: Well lucky you've got... (looks at his watch) 18 hours to prep. Good times.
Jody honks the horn and both Ava and Alex look over at Jody
Ava: that's our ride, come on Alex *waves* bye Henry
Alex: See ya!
Alex kisses Henry. Jody, still watching, smiles and looks away. Ava gets in the back seat and Alex gets in the truck with Jody.
Alex: Oh my god. Chem lab, I fell asleep in a pool of my own drool. Oh, and coach is pulling double practice tomorrow, mid field needs serious tightening.
Jody just looks at Alex, smiling.
Alex: What?
Jody shakes her head.
Jody: Just - you're killing it out there.
Alex: Shut up
Jody laughs, Ava smiles at them. Jody then happens to look down and see some pills sticking out Alex's bag. She starts the car as it starts to rain.
Jody: Fitting right in.
They drive away from the school and minutes later they see the truck pulling into the driveway of Jody's house. They see the Impala parked in the driveway. Ava looked startled when she saw Baby in the drive way.
Jody: Winchesters.
Alex: Why would they be here?
Jody: (shrugs) I didn't put up the bat signal.
They both look at Ava.
Ava: I haven't called them, I haven't spoken to my dad in months.
They enter the house to find Sam and Dean sitting in the living room. Ava just stood there quietly.
Judy: Well, there goes the neighborhood. Hi.
Sam: Jody.
Sam and Jody hug.
Sam: *looks at Ava* hi Ava
Ava: hi Uncle Sam
Ava avoids her father and hugs her uncle while looking at her father who looked uncomfortable and then back at Sam whispers.
Ava: is he okay now
Sam: *whisper* you mean if the mark is gone now, yes
Ava: *sighs* good
Sam: *to Jody* Hey. Let me help you out.
Sam takes the grocery bags from Jody.
Jody: Oh thank you!
Sam: Yeah, sure.
Dean: hello Ava
Ava: father *ignored his hug embrace and sits next to Claire without hugging him*
Dean: *mumbles* yeah she's still pissed at me
Jody: (To Dean, holding her arms open for a hug) Come here.
Dean: It has been too long.
Jody: Hey.
Dean and Jody hug.
Sam: Yeah, clearly it's been too long, 'cause Alex, that is you, right?
Alex: I don't look that different!
Claire: It's amazing what you can accomplish when you spend two hours in the bathroom every morning.
Ava: Since when are you even up in the morning, I'm surprised you're awake now.
Jody: Hey! I'm pretty sure the guys didn't come here to watch you three kill each other. *Alex's leave* is everything okay? I didn't accidentally butt dial you or anything, did I?
Claire: I called. About the monsters. That you refuse to believe are monsters. *leaves*
Jody: Oh - you gotta be kidding. (To Sam and Dean) You know, if you'd checked in with me, I could have saved you a trip.
Dean: Well, we figured we owed you a visit. Especially while Ava is still staying here
Ava: I'm 16 dad, I don't need you to check up on me every time you come over
Dean: you're still a minor and under my care young lady, so I would drop the tone if I were you. I understand you're angry at me, but you don't need to take it out on everyone else
Ava: oh so now you want to be a father to me all the sudden. Where was this dad when I needed him months ago.
It was tense between Ava and Dean, and before Dean could say another word to her Ava walked out.
Jody: okay... you know what, actually - I could use the backup. (To Sam) Let me have that.
Jody takes the grocery bags back.
Sam: Yep.
Jody: I'm gonna put another chicken on. You settle in.
Dean: ...You might wanna make it two.
Sam: (To Dean) Yeah.
Dean: (In an undertone) I'm starving.
It was late at night and they were having dinner at Jody's house in her dinning room.Jody, Claire, Alex, Ava, Sam and Dean are all sitting at the table eating a chicken dinner.
Sam and Dean are eating like they haven't had a proper meal in a long time, clearly enjoying themselves. Jody, Claire, and Alex watch them with restrained amusement. While Ava was used to them eating like that.
Ava: *to the girls* you'll get use to it
Dean: (mouth full) Mmm! Oh, this bird is fantastic.
Jody looks at him.
Dean: When you mix it up with the - potatoes and the, the beans, you guys eat like this every day?
Jody: It's just chicken.
Sam: It's shaped like chicken! Not a patty, or a nugget!
Jody: *looks at Ava confused*
Ava: *to Jody* they haven't had a home cook meal in a long time, we normally eat take out food *eats her food*
Claire: Can we get to the case?
There was a long pause as Sam and Dean look at her while ripping into their dinner rolls.
Ava: yeah... I wouldn't talk about cases while their eating...
Claire: Three people are missing.
Ava: people go missing everyday Claire
Jody: plus there's is no evidence that they didn't skip town on their own! Two of them were runaways, one was a homeless guy.
Claire: He was last seen at Braden Point. I've been stalking it out.
Dean: Right.
Dean reaches over Sam to help himself to another generous helping of mashed potatoes.
Sam: Dude!
Ava: *to Alex* I had to live with them, they eat like animals
Dean: There's plenty left. Braden Point?
Jody: It's where the kids go to make out, and yes, there's about four pounds left on the stove.
Dean: *points at Ava* I better not see you at any Braden Point*
Ava: *roll eyes*
Claire: Guys? There's something out there.
Dean looks at her as he continues to stuff his face.
Claire: People are reporting animals they've never seen before, things stalking their front yards that disappear...
Alex looks at her, annoyed.
Jody: This is according to the - HEY!
Jody looks at Alex, who has tried to sneak her wine glass away.
Jody: Put it back!
Alex puts the wine glass back.
Jody: (Continuing from where she left off) ... neighborhood crime blogs that Claire has been reading.
Claire: They're eye-witness accounts.
Sam: Well, we've hunted on less.
Dean: What else you got?
Claire: Uh, I'm working on it.
Ava: Claire did catch a werewolf. Oh right! Turned out to be a German shepherd with rabies.
Jody: And before that was the vampire. Councilwoman into erotic cosplay. I didn't know what cosplay was before that. Super embarrassing for the whole force.
Dean: Wow. You've been busy.
Claire: I've been hunting.
Ava: AKA menacing innocent people!
Jody: Claire has a whole string of assaults racked up. The only reason she's not sitting in jail right now is that I'm the sheriff!
Claire: Fine, I've been wrong. But this time, I know there's a monster.
Alex: Can we stop talking about monsters, and hunting? What about real life?
Claire: Real life? Okay. Yeah, sure. Let's get real. You and Henry set on a weekend yet?
Alex: What?
Claire: When you sneaking off to Jody's cabin to screw yourself silly?
Ava: Claire!
Alex's eyes get wide, and she looks cornered.
Dean: Ohhh. Here we go.
Sam and Dean look awkward. Jody looks shocked.
Alex: Um, we're not - ! (To Clarie) You're completely insane!
Claire: You might wanna clear your g-tracks before you commit to that.
Sam: (About ready to get up from the table) This seems like uh, family business.
Ava: I'll go with you
Jody hits the table.
Jody: Sit! Stay!
Claire smirks.
Jody: Um... (clears throat) Alex, anything you want to say?
Alex: Nope.
Jody: 'Kay, uh, well, um, I may have - I've...definitely seen birth control pills in your backpack.
Ava screamed at the word "birth control pill" making her dad and uncle jump by her and they all look at her.
Ava: sorry I'm still terrifed of the talk I had with them *points at Sam and Dean*
Alex looks mortified.
Sam: Oh, we're going there.
Dean: Okay.
Claire laughs.
Alex: Oh my god.
Ava: I can't believe we are having this talk in front of my dad and uncle, they tried to give me the talk, and it didn't end well for all 3 of us
Jody: Hey, if we can't talk about it we shouldn't be doing it, right?
Sam and Dean look awkward, a little lost for words.
Jody: Right?
Sam stutters.
Dean: What?
Ava: *smirks, to Jody* told ya
Jody: Okay. I'm not gonna tell you that you are too young to be having sex , *covers Ava mouth before she scream*(a/n: Ava is sitting in between Jody and Sam at the table* you *let's go of Ava mouth*
Ava: sorry...
Jody: or you. *to Claire*
Alex: Who's she gonna have sex- *Ava screams* Ava!
Ava: sorry... nightmares *Sam put one arm around her*
Alex: okay... who's she's gonna have the s word with, she doesn't talk to anybody.
Ava: *put two thumbs up*
Jody: Hey. Um, what I will tell you is that birth- *looks at Ava* the b word are useless against STD's. Whoever you are with needs to suit up! Every time. Always. No pulling up the drawbridge early.
Alex: Oh know I get it!
Ava: *screams burries face in her Uncle*
Sam: I know, I know
Claire laughs.
Jody: And don't expect the guy, as much as I love Henry, to always show up packing. (To Sam and Dean) Am I right?
Ava covers her ears wanting this conversation to end. While Sam looks down at his plate and takes another bite to avoid answering. Dean stares at her blankly.
Dean: What?
Jody: (In disbelief) Seriously?
Alex: Stop! We haven't done anything yet. I'm just - trying to be prepared.
A shocked Jody looks at Sam and Dean, who are trying their best to look casual. Dean smiles awkwardly before hiding behind his wine glass.
Jody: Great, um, we need some more mashed potatoes, right? Mashed potatoes, I'm just gonna - (she drains her glass of wine) - I'm gonna get some more potatoes. Potatoes. Jodygoes to the kitchen.)
Ava: *Still covering her ears and talks in baby voice* is it over now!
Sam takes his niece hands out of ear and nods at her and Ava awkward smiles.
Dean: (takes another bite) This is fun.
Claire snickers. Dean looks at Sam, then downs more wine.
After Dinner.
Dean helps Jody clear the dinner table, and with washing the dishes.
Dean: Nice ambush in there.
Jody: Hey, you guys crashed my pad first!
Dean: Well, you know, I thought we were going to be helping you with monsters, not *whisper* birth control. *hears Ava scream* Ava???...
Ava: *yells* yeah dad...
Dean: *yells back* step away from the kitchen
Ava: sorry!
Jody: Welcome to my world. I mean - don't get me wrong, I love those girls, but... man, I am hanging on by my fingertips.
Dean: trust me I get it. I'm dealing with one now
Jody: The last guy Claire pegged as a monster, she held a sword to his throat. He is hell-bent on pressing charges.
Dean: You know I gotta be honest, I thought it was gonna be Alex with the adjustment issues.
Jody: Oh yeah, it was rough going there for a bit, too. But this year, everything clicked, she's dating the most popular guy in school for gosh sake.
Dean: Yeah I know, I barely recognized her.
Jody: And but even there, I feel like I should be teaching her about boyfriends, and relationships, you know, stuff a mom would teach her.
Dean chuckles.
Dean: Sammy and I could've benefited from a little of that. Even tho Ava's mother not in her life anymore, it's like Ava has two dad's , 3 if you count Cass
Jody smiles knowingly.
Jody: Yeah, but I'm not Alex's mom. I'm not Claire's mom. Or Ava's. I didn't raise them, I don't have that kind of history with them. Like you do with Ava
Dean nods.
Dean: Well we can talk to Claire. And we'll get her to settle down.
Jody: It's not just Claire busting heads.
Dean: There's more?
Jody: Yeah... it's about Ava she hasn't been to classes for weeks. She doesn't have any friends beside Alex and Claire. She spends all her time trolling for cases, and reading lore.
Dean: Sounds kinda creepy when you put it like that.
Jody: You know I've got nothing against hunting. But if she's hiding in it, because she doesn't have anything else? I'm just - worried about her being so alone.
Dean nods, looking wistful.
Dean: well I blame myself for that, she gets it from her old man. Well, I'll put Sammy on it. He's better with the whole talky thing anyway.
Jody: Thanks.
Dean: Yeah.
With Ava in Jody's guest room. Ava is stretched out on her bed with her laptop open and a few lore books. There is a knock at the door.
Ava: Come in!
Sam opens the door.
Sam: Ava.
Ava: hi Uncle Sam.
Sam: You, uh... you got a minute?
Ava: Yeah.
Ava gets up and goes over to her dresser.
Sam referring to an assortment of missing posters pinned to her wall.
Sam: Looks like you and I have the same decorating philosophy.
Ava: no point of decorating if I'm not staying for long anyways. It's not like I need the beads on my wall. I know I didn't believe in Claire when she talked about the disappearance, but I want to see if there's any connection between them
Sam: Right, um, we need to talk about that. Ava - I know how it can be. The hunter life, consumes you.
Ava: I know dad sent you up here to talk me out of this. I know you been talking about me downstairs
Sam: so you know why I'm here
Ava: cause someone snitch about me hunting in secrets after mom and dad forbid me from ever hunting. Well... that ship has sailed. I've been working on some the cases with Claire
Sam: Ava there is no case. I already talked to Claire about it, and I want you to stop
Ava: oh so Claire is the rat
Sam: actually Jody told on you. Lately you girls seems like you've spent a lot of time hunting monsters that weren't there.
Ava: What is that supposed to mean?
Sam: You wouldn't be the first hunter who is trying to escape something.
Ava: And what am I escaping, exactly, aside from mind-numbing boredom?
Sam: You tell me. And how are things with Jody, Claire and Alex? And I'm not - taking sides, I'm just trying to understand what's going on.
Ava: They're not trying to make me feel bad. I mean - Claire says she hate me sometimes because I don't defend her, and Alex been trying to get me to join clubs at school and such and get me to be apart of something but, um... Sometimes I just feel like I'm a little late to the Jody, Claire and Alex show.
Sam: Yeah. Well they have been through some heavy crap together.
Ava (Nods.) Maybe it's time I come home with you guys to be a full-fledged hunter.
Sam: Ava, you know your father would not approve of that. I absolutely understand the need to hunt. Believe me. I do. But the monsters are always going to be there. On and on. Forever. But a chance at a family? At a home? School? That won't be.
Ava: but you and dad are my family not them. I want to be with you
Sam: Ava, you made the choice to leave because you didn't want to be around your dad. This is a chance for you to have a normal life here with Jody and not look for any hunting
Ava doesn't say anything, but appears to think about what he's saying.
Later that night, at Marshal High School.
Alex's teacher Mr. P is walking to his car in the school's parking lot, which is deserted. The lights go out, and he stops, looking around. A shadowy figure moves quickly past the frame while his back is turned. MR. P gets his keys out and goes to unlock his car, but is grabbed from behind, and rammed multiple times against the door of his car.
The Next Morning at Marshal High.
Alex and walk across the street toward school with Ava following behind.
Alex: (looking at her phone and talking to Henry behind her) Come on! We're gonna be late.
Henry: (Teasing her and tickling her) 'Come on, we're gonna be late!'
Alex: (Laughing) I wanna catch Mr. P before the test.
When Alex gets closer, she realizes that all of the other students are stopped, and staring upward. Alex, Ava and Henry also stop, and look to see what the others are looking at. The camera tilts upward to reveal Mr. P hanging from his foot at the top of the flag pole, dead. Alex stares, horrorstruck.
MARSHALL HIGH SCHOOL
A fireman and coroner wheel the body off of the school's campus. Jody is there, talking to Sam and Dean who are there in their FBI disguise.
Jody: Victim's name is Stephen Phelps, he was a math teacher. Alex's favorite, actually.
Sam: I'm sorry to hear that.
Jody: Phelps was found hanging upside-down from the top of the flag pole, duct-taped. Like his neck had been snapped first.
Dean: Any witnesses?
Jody: Only the lucky custodian that found him.
Sam: So, how did the killer get Phelps up there in the first place? Unless he had his own fire truck?
Dean: Yeah, so the killer climbs up 20 feet, a guy on his back, and duct tapes him?
Sam: Yeah, and why?
Jody: (Pulling an evidence bag from her pocket) We found this around the flag pole, if it means anything. I already sent a sample to the lab.
Sam takes the evidence bag and looks at it closely. He shakes his head, not knowing what it is.
Dean: What else you know about Phelps?
Jody: Just that he was a damn fine teacher. He really helped Alex out, I know that.
Ava walks up to them.
Ava: So Claire was right, what are we dealing with? Demons, ghost possession?
Jody: Ava, this is a crime scene, you can't be here.
Ava: Oh, but the fake FBI can? *looks at her dad and uncle*
Dean: (Slightly insulted) Hey!
Jody:(hisses) Keep your voice down!
Dean reaches his arm out and steers Ava away to talk.
Dean: Come here. Come here.
Ava: I was trying to help Claire out. You know the case that everyone said wasn't real
Dean: and she was right. Okay? There is something unnatural going on here. But you can't just walk up in front of a bunch of officers, and demand that the sheriff give you details on a murder investigation.
Ava: Can we talk about the body now?
Dean: Oh I'm not even near finished.
Ava rolls her eyes.
Dean: You need to show Jody a little respect. Your beef is with me not her. She did you a huge solid by taking you in. She got you set up at school -
Ava: don't you get dad. I didn't wanna go to school.
Dean: Nobody wants to go to school, Ava, it's school!
Ava: Exactly!
Dean: My point is - she's been busting her ass to get you set up with a life. She's feeding you, hell you got a nicer room than I do now. She kept you out of jail...- *gets cut off*
Ava: Something you should have done. You're my father, Jody is just a friend of a family *gets swatted* ow! Dad! *looks around to see if anybody saw*
Dean: And that's what I'm talking about. You need to act like you give a crap! You need to appreciate what that woman's done -
Alex and Henry approach them.
Alex: They cancelled school.
Ava: *smirks* see they canceled school, looks like your stuck with me after all
Alex: So we're gonna... hang out, I guess.
Dean: (staring at her hard) Hang out, huh?
Dean stares at Henry, not blinking, just judging him - hard.
Dean: Hmm.
Alex: ...Yeah. Okay then.
Alex and Henry walk away.
Ava: Oh yeah. He got the message.
Dean: Damn right he did.
Ava: I'm sure.
Ava walks away. Dean looks annoyed.
Dean: where you go— (In an undertone to himself) people are always walking away from me!
(A/n: I thought this scene fit better between Dean and Ava since there father and daughter in my series. )
Henry and Alex, who are walking away from the school, further down the block now.
Henry: You know the FBI?
Alex: Jody and Ava does. That's Ava's father
Marshall High School, Hallway.
Jody and Sam are questioning the principle.
Jody: Was there anyone that Mr. Phelps had run-ins with recently? Staff, parents, students?
Principal: No, not that I know of. Parents would bake brownies for that man.
Sam: Well, we're gonna wanna, um, interview your staff and students, as well as have access to personnel records.
Principal: Whatever you need. We gotta catch that bastard. Turn his insides out and string him up.
Sam and Jody react silently to the over-the-top strangeness of the Principal's statement.
Sam: Glad you're on our side.
Dean, also inside the school, who is roaming the empty hallways and classrooms with an EMF detector.
Jody and Sam, who are now in the basement, interviewing the custodian.
Custodian: Well, I raise the flag in the morning, and, uh, he's...he's stuck up there, you know, like a bug on a stick. I thought it was a prank at first, but uh... you know, like it was a dummy or something like that but... (laughs) It wasn't.
Jody: Did you know Mr. Phelps?
Custodian: (Shrugs) Seen him around.
Sam: Have you noticed anything weird? Or out of the ordinary going on at the school lately?
Custodian: Do you mean weirder than a dead teacher taped to the top of a flagpole, or...?
Sam: Before you discovered Mr. Phelps, had you noticed any unusual... sights, or sounds, or smells...
Custodian: Smells! (Laughs) Well, you know, this place kinda always stinks. Kids are slobs, you know? But I do the best that I can. But uh...
Jody: Mr. Wheeler, you don't seem too upset about the uh... graphic scene you came upon this morning.
Custodian: Well, what can I tell ya? I didn't know the guy.
Sam: And where were you last night? And earlier this morning before you found the body?
Custodian: (pauses) This is confidential, right?
Sam nods.
Custodian: I was passed out at the Blind Donkey.
Sam walking in the hallway of the school. Dean catches up to him.
Dean: Hey! This place is bigger than it looks. Checked every classroom, every office, every hallway, and every bathroom. And I deserve hazard pay for that.
Sam: And?
Dean: Nothing. No EMF, no hex bags, no sulfur, the only thing I found was a couple of teachers making out in the break room.
Sam: Well, you got more than I did. Not one witness. Oh, the custodian, there's definitely something up with him, he's squirrelly.
Dean: Well, teacher of the year gets run up a flag pole, and nobody knows squat? Something's going on here.
SECLUDED, WOODED AREA BY A STREAM.
Alex and Henry walk along the stream.
Henry: You okay? I know you were tight with Mr. Phelps.
Alex: He thought I was super smart. Said I should ditch soccer and join the math team.
Henry: You are super smart.
Alex: And what he must've gone through. Nobody should die like that.
Henry: People are messed up. Never thought we'd have an actual psychopath here in Sioux Falls.
Alex: There are awful things out there.
Henry: What do you mean?
Alex: Henry... I wasn't always this girl. Sometimes I look at myself in the mirror, and I'm like - that's me?
Henry: You said - you had to run away from home? Jody took you in?
Alex: (Looking away) You should know... I've done some really bad things.
Flashbacks to Alex: Alex being hauled into jail while putting up a huge fight.
Alex: Hurt people.
Another flashback shows Alex in a bar, with a creepy-looking guy who hits on her. She lures him out of the bar and back to her former house so that her former vampire family could feed on and kill him. Alex turns her back as the vampires go at him, her face expressionless.
Alex: I should've told you before.
Henry: Everybody's done stuff they're ashamed of. I mean, there was this one kid we all tortured in middle school, I-I can't even think about it.
Alex, her back toward him, doesn't say anything.
Henry: Alex! Hey. I don't care. Whatever it is you did, I don't. Okay? (He tucks her hair behind her ear.) And you never have to tell me anything if you don't want to.
Henry kisses her, then she hugs him.
JODY'S HOUSE - DINING ROOM - DAY
Claire, Ava and Sam are sitting at the table, going over research about the case. Jody comes in with Dean.
Jody: Hey!
Sam: Yo!
Dean: Got the results back on that fiber from crime scene.
Sam: And?
Dean: Asbestos.
Sam: Asbestos?
Dean: Yeah.
Claire: So our killer's fire retardant. What does that mean?
Dean: Well, not much yet.
Jody: And, Wheeler the Janitor? His alibi checks out.
Sam: Well, his social security number does not. It belongs to Mimi Garcia, who died in 1988.
Claire: And Wheeler started at Marshall a few months ago. When the disappearances started. The ones I said were supernatural in the first place?
Jody: Yes, we know, you keep reminding us.
Ava: sorry I didn't believe you at first
Claire: it's okay, glad you have my back now
Ava and Claire both smiled at each other.
Sam: So... we need to talk to this Mr. Wheeler again.
Sam closes his laptop and gets up.
Jody: Okay, I'm gonna run his ID photo through the database.
Claire also gets up..
Claire: I'm coming with you. I have a Fed suit, I can be your new agent trainee.
Ava: *grabs her arm* not so fast, you never been on a hunt with them before, I actually have.
Dean: yeah when you weren't allowed too
Ava: *ignores him and looks at Claire* I know more about this than you do. In fact I'm the one that taught you everything you need to know about hunting
Dean: you did what!
Claire: way to go
Ava fucked herself over when she realize she said that out loud in front of everyone.
Jody: Okay, hold on there, you two aren't going anywhere! *to Ava* you are going to start working on your assignments that you still haven't handed in yet *to Claire* You and I are leaving in a half an hour, the registrar, remember?
Claire: Reschedule it.
Jody: Again? Uh-uh. You are going to beg him to let you re-enroll. Tonight. Move it
Claire sighs frustrated and headed upstairs and Ava said.
Ava: Jody, I can alway do my school work. I have all weekend to do it.
Jody: you have until Monday to finished everything little girl. *sighs* Ava you're flunking, you're this close to repeating soft-more year if you don't get your act together
Ava: why should I get my act together knowing there's a killer out there?
Dean: Hey!
Ava jumped surprised at her father tone forgetting the other two were still in the room. Dean and Sam give her a look. Ava knows that look and looks frustrated, but doesn't argue. She walks away. Dean smiles at Jody as they leave.
Jody's Garage - NIGHT
The garage door opens and Jody and Claire walk in, heading toward Jody's truck.
Claire: I feel like a total ass-hat. Who dresses like this?
Jody: You know, there is a reason why murderers put on monkey suits when they go in front of a judge.
All of a sudden, the custodian from the high school comes up from behind JODY and hits her over the head with a shovel. JODY falls to the ground.
Claire: Jody!
Claire runs up and tries to attack the custodian, but he grabs her and pins her against the wall.
Custodian: I always thought you were the pretty one!
The custodian holds her by the throat and starts choking her as his fangs descend, revealing himself to be a vampire. Claire draws her knife, but the custodian wrestles it out of her hand. He starts beating her up as Jody attacks him with a metal rod. The custodian kicks her, breaking her leg. He then punches her in the face. He drags Claire out of the garage into the night. Jody manages to find her phone.
OUTSIDE THE CUSTODIAN'S HOUSE - NIGHT
Sam and Dean are walking away from the house, toward the Impala.
Dean: ...And a fake address. Well I am loving this guy.
Dean's phone rings.
Dean: Hey what's up?
Joey on the floor of the garage.
Jody: Dean! You need -
Back to Dean, on the phone.
Dean: Jody?
Back to JODY. The custodian kicks her in the face, sending the phone flying.
Dean, who can hear the sounds of a fight on the other end.
Dean: Jody!
JODY'S HOUSE, GARAGE - NIGHT
Sam and Dean pull up in the Impala. The garage door is open, Jody's truck is still there, but Jody, Claire, and the custodian are nowhere to be seen.
Dean: (yells) Jody? Claire? Ava?
Sam: I'll check the house.
Sam runs off and Dean enters the garage. Dean finds Claire's knife on the ground, along with Jody's abandoned cell phone.
Dean: (yells) Dammit!
Sam returns.
Sam: Ava's missing too
Dean shows Sam the knife.
Sam: It's Claire's knife.
Dean: Yeah.
Sam: So whatever it was, it was lying in wait for them when they left.
The phone rings.
Dean: This is Agent Noon.... no I have not seen the sheriff either. I'd be happy to pass on the information. I'm just here with my partner, what do you got? (Pauses, then looks at Sam.) They identified the custodian.
Sam: Good.
Dean: Richard Beesome? A trucker out of O'Neill, Nebraska, he's been missing for three years. Thank you.
Dean hangs up.
Dean: His family was found exsanguinate. Throats ripped out.
Sam: He's a vampire?
Dean: Yeah.
Sam: (Thinking) O'Neill, isn't that where Alex was from? Where her nest was?
Dean: So, what, Beesome was part of Alex's old nest? Came here looking for Alex and then found Jody, Claire and Ava instead?
Sam: I don't know, something still doesn't sit right.
Dean: We gotta warn Alex.
Sam: Yeah, alright you pick her up, I'll go check Beesome's office, there's bound to be something there.
Dean leaves in the Impala, and Sam gets into Jody''s truck, finding extra keys above the sun visor.
50'S BURGERS DINER - NIGHT
Alex is sitting outside the diner in a Jeep. Dean calls her as Henry gets in, and the scene flips back and forth between Dean, driving in the Impala, and Alex in the Jeep.
Dean: Hey, where are you, I'm comin' to get you.
Alex: I'm at 50s, on Lake.
Dean: Kay, sit tight till I get there, do not go off by yourself.
Alex: What's going on?
Dean: The custodian at your school, he's a vamp.
Alex: Oh my god. No.
Dean: Listen to me, I'll be there 5 minutes, don't move. You understand?
Alex: Yeah.
Alex hangs up.
Henry: Who was that?
Alex: You need to go.
Henry: What do you mean?
Alex: You need to get away from me, now. Just leave me here.
Alex tries to leave the Jeep, when Henry grabs her.
Henry: (growling) I can't let you go.
Henry grabs her hair and pulls her toward him, his fangs descending.
MARSHALL HIGH SCHOOL, CUSTODIAN'S OFFICE - NIGHT
Sam wanders around in the dark with a flashlight, looking for anything that might help. He finds an old map of the school grounds, and looks at it.
50s BURGERS DINER - NIGHT
Dean pulls up in the Impala. The Jeep is no longer there. Dean gets out and calls Alex, and hears her phone ringing. He finds it on the ground next to a dumpster. He picks it up.
Dean: Oh come on!
Dean calls Sam, who is still looking over the map in the custodian's office, and the scene flips back and forth between them.
Sam: Hey.
Dean: Alex is gone.
Sam: Dean, listen, I just found an old school map, uh, there's a building, it used to be the pool. They closed it down because it had asbestos. That has to be where Beesome took them.
Dean: I'm 15 minutes away.
Sam: Alright, it's at the East end of the school, I'm heading there now.
Sam hangs up and rushes off.
MARSHALL HIGH SCHOOL, OLD POOL BUILDING
Jody, Ava and Claire are tied up near a number of dead bodies. Beesome stands guard.
Claire: Those are the bodies that went missing.
Beesome: Just a little takeout. Waiting for trash day.
Jody: (to Claire) You were right. (pauses, then looks at Beesome.) What are we here for?
They hear the door open, and Henry leads Alex in. Alex sees Claire and Jody tied up.
Alex: No! No! What the hell is this?
Beesome: Your whole life.
MARSHALL HIGH SCHOOL, OLD POOL BUILDING - NIGHT
Alex is now tied up as well, across the room from Jody Ava and Claire.
Beesome: How's this for a family reunion, huh? (Laughs) Would've invited my own, but uh, they died. Couple years ago. Do you know how?
Beesome: *looks at Alex* You figured out who I am?
Alex: I don't know you.
Beesome: (chuckles disbelievingly.) You don't remember? Oh. You took my life, and you don't remember? Three years ago. Nebraska. Some sleaze bag was taking you home outside of a bar, and I chased him off. Cause see, you were so young, and I could see that you didn't want anything to do with the guy, I mean I - I thought maybe some pimp was working you. I gave you a few twenties and told you I would drive you home.
Alex: (eyes filled with tears) I do remember you.
Beesome: Oh. Oh good. You remember how you didn't say a word all the way there?
A flashback shows Alex getting out of Beesome's car and walking away without a word. He asks, "Is this your house? Hey!".
Beesome: (in the present) And then they came.
In the flashback, Beesome gets jumped by her former vampire nest. As he yells, Alex keeps walking further away in silence.
Beesome: (in the present) Whole starving pack tore into me. They drank me alive. They turned me!
Alex is in tears.
Jody: Leave her alone, she had no choice!
Beesome: That is when the real fun began, because I went home to tell my wife what happened, but see, I was covered in blood. My own blood. Which made me crazy. Starving. I lost control. I gutted her. And my boy.
Alex: I'm so sorry. They - they made me.
Beesome: You could have left me outside that bar. I tried to help you! I was a good man! And you know the only thing that kept me going was the knowledge that I would find you one day, and I would make you pay.
Henry: You see Rich, he was tracking you for months, Alex. Yeah, he's been watching you.
Alex: What for?
Beesome: Well, I was just gonna kill you outright, but of course you're just so miserable and alone, it would've been a mercy killing.
Henry laughs.
Beesome: I wanted you to be happy first. I wanted you to have something precious, so that I could take it from you.
Henry: So, he turned the most popular kid in school and sent me after you. I'd build you up -
Beesome: And I would chop you right down. Piece by piece. I'd take your teacher, your boyfriend, your family, and then I'll feed you to my nest.
Alex: (To Henry) Nothing? None of it was real?
Henry: Seriously Al? You were a complete freak! I mean, you were an angry loner, creeping around the school like some kind of trench coat mafia?
Ava: You're gonna burn in hell, you sociopath.
Henry: (Still looking at Alex) I could never date someone like you.
Alex spits in his face, and Beesome slaps her.
Jody: (Yelling) Stop it!
Henry, pretends to charge at her, fangs out, to scare her, then walks away.
Beesome: Don't mess with this one. Henry's got a real mean streak, you know. You know this one, couldn't just kill Mr. Phelps, he had to run him up a flagpole for the whole school to salute.
Henry: Well she saw him, didn't she?
Beesome: You brought a lot of cops. But Henry's young. He'll learn.
Beesome grabs Ava and drags her away from Jody.
Ava: Get off me!
Jody: They know we're here! Those FBI, they're hunters! They know that you killed Phelps, and they killed Alex's entire nest, just ask her!
Ava: It's - it's true, they're coming for you!
Beesome: Shut up!
Ava: Ow!
Elsewhere inside the pool building, Sam is seen entering. To the vampires, and Alex, Ava, Claire and Jody.
Alex: Henry, the killing and running all the time, you don't want that!
Henry: What, you did this! You did this to all of us!
Beesome shoves Ava in front of Alex.
Beesome: You are gonna watch everyone you love die.
Ava: Check your intel, you pig! Alex barely even knows me
Beesome twists Ava's arm and she gasps in pain.
Alex: I'll help you! Let them go, and I'll work for you! You know how good I am, I kept a whole nest alive for eight years! And - and, you can feed on me when the hunting goes dry. And it goes dry, I know.
Beesome appears to be thinking this over.
Beesome: You know I might take you up on that.
There is a long pause, until Beesome fangs descend and he bites Ava's neck. Ava screams.
Jody/Claire: (Screaming) NO!
Ava continues screaming. Elsewhere, Sam continues to make his way closer, armed with a machete. He can hear Ava's screams but focused on the mission, and when he finally finds them, Ava is lying on the ground, neck covered in blood, apparently unconscious.
Alex: Sam!
Sam: turns around just as Beesome whacks him hard with a sledgehammer. Sam falls to the ground, and the machete falls from his grasp. Beesome goes to hit him again, but SAM rolls out of the way and he misses. Sam grabs his machete again and stands up.
Jody: No!
Henry hits Sam from behind with a weapon, and Sam falls into the empty pool. Dean is now shown to be entering the building, unbeknownst to the others. Ava regains consciousness as Henry jumps into the empty pool beside Sam and continues to hit him, over and over. Beesome grabs Sam's dropped machete.
Jody (Whispers) Ava!
Ava looks at Jody, who nods toward a forgotten weapon on the ground. Beesome approaches Alex with the machete. Meanwhile, Sam has managed to get up, and his holding his own against Henry.
Beesome: *to Alex, holding the machete up to her* No one's gonna save you.
Beesome swings the machete, and Alex closes her eyes, just as Ava stabs him from behind with a crowbar. Stunned, but not dead, he turns around to face her. As he looks at her, Dean chops his head off with his machete. Dean looks at Ava and sees she is covered with blood.
Dean: Did you drink their blood?
Ava: no sir
In the pool, Sam punches Henry in the face, and grabs him. Meanwhile, Dean cuts Alex free.
Jody: Ow, Dean!
Alex, Ava, Dean rush over to Jody. Ava cut Claire out of the rope while the others help Jody up.
Dean: Jody?
Dean helps her up, supporting her.
Jody: Oh, it had to be the leg. I'm gonna need bionics.
Dean: Come here.
Sam carries Henry out of the pool and over to the others. He lets go of him in front of Alex.
Sam: He's all yours now.
Alex just looks at Henry.
Henry: I shoulda tapped that when I had the chance.
Alex: Keep dreaming about me.
Alex punches Henry in the jaw, and Claire slices his head off with a machete. Henry's body falls to the ground. Everyone looks at each other. Claire looks at Alex, who nods.
Jody's House, Dining Room. The Next Morning. The dining room table is set with plates of pancakes, bacon, and fruit. Alex pours orange juice into glasses while Claire and Ava were busy in the kitchen. Jody comes in on crutches.
Jody: I thought I smelled burning bacon! You two cooked?
Ava: Uh, we tried. The pancakes might be a little raw. Kind of hard to do with a broken arm *lift her cast*
Alex: We wanted to do something for you.
Jody looks at all three of them, momentarily speechless.
Jody: Okay stop looking at me like that, I feel like Tiny Tim.
Jody makes her way over to the table.
Alex: I'm sorry he hurt you. All three of you.
Claire looks at her, with a purple, puffy eye and a large scrape on her cheekbone, but she doesn't look mad.Ava also smiled back.
Jody: Hey! We're fine. We're in three whole pieces, more or less, it's okay.
Alex: It's not okay. He almost killed you for what I did.
Ava: For what those vamps did. You were a kid, you had to do whatever they said.
Jody: Alex - you were ready to give up your life for us. That's goodness. And that's what's scary about family. Gives you so much to lose.
Jody puts her arm around Alex, Ava smiles at them remembering she still needs to work things out with her old man.
Ava: Jody... if it's okay with you. I would like to move back in with my dad and uncle
They all looked at her confused.
Jody: uh... if that's what you want?
Ava: *nods* yeah it's what I want. You guys have each other, and I have them. Plus my dad and I still have issues we need to work out
Jody: as long as you don't get yourself killed
Ava: *smiles* I won't and I'm sorry for the way I have been acting lately. I guess I was just afraid of being close to you guys
Jody: I get it, this line of life is hard, but you know you always have a family here right. If anything happens to boys you give me a call you hear
Ava: I will
They both hugged.
Outside, the sounds of the Impala's doors can be heard.
Dean, Ava and Claire exit the house. Claire helps Ava with her things.
Claire: *too Dean* You don't have to worry, I know what I have. You shoulda seen Jody take out that vamp, she would have taken a bullet for me.
Deam: Does that mean you're gonna make her life less hellish?
Claire: *smiles a little* I solemnly swear not to hunt like a dumbass. Jody said that she's gonna teach me to vet leads, and teach me how to investigate... (long pause) She thinks I'm gonna get myself killed.
Dean: *to Ava* how's the arm?
Ava: it's okay, but I'll live
Dean: you ready to go home?
Ava: yeah I miss the bunker *to Claire* so... this is is it
Claire: yeah I guess so
Ava: promises me you won't get yourself killed
Claire: your the one to talk, you're the one with the broken arm
Ava: true... but I'm a Winchester, it's in my blood, right dad?
Dean: will talk about your hunting life style another time. Right now your focus is on hunting school
Ava: really?
Dean: *points finger at her* as long as you're do your school work, that comes first
Ava: oh I promise, thanks dad *hugs him*
Jody and Sam exit the house, Jody on her crutches and Sam's arms filled with containers of food.
Sam: You alright?
Jody: Yeah, thanks!
Sam: Dude! Got ribs! And, uh, three tubs of sauce, cause you're not touching mine.
Deam: Yes!
Jody: Made it for dinner last night, didn't get to eat it, what with the multiple kidnappings and all.
Dean: Yeah...
Alex is standing by herself next to the Impala.
Sam: Gimme a sec.
Sam walks over to her, and Claire and Ava following.
Sam: Hey. You gonna be alright?
Alex: Yeah. School on Monday.
Ava: You're just gonna go take a bio quiz and pretend like you didn't almost get slaughtered?
Alex: You're not giving up hunting, are you?
Ava: Hell no.
Alex and Ava high five each other with smiles.
Sam: Alex. Other vamps may come for you.
Alex: I know. And I'll be ready. And when I get my life together, I might be moving on.
Claire: Alex, you don't have to leave to protect us.
Alex: That's not why. I can't be around what you all are doing. Things you're fighting.
Dean and Jody make their way to the Impala.
Dean: You gonna be alright now that you're outnumbered again?
Jody: Ah, as long as everyone wears a condom, we'll be fine.
Claire: *covers Ava mouth* don't scream
Ava: sorry...
Dean: (chuckles) I want that bumper sticker.
Dean helps put Ava stuff in the car. Ava hugged the girls including Jody and said.
Ava: thank you for everything
Jody: of course, you need anything I'm always here
Ava smiles and gets in the back set off the impala. Dean starts the Impala, and he and Sam drive off, leaving Jody, Clarie, and Alex standing on their front lawn.
