I Have Everything I Need

"Ahhhh…." Andy coughed hard and tightened his grip on the steering wheel. "Yeah I'm not…glad we cleared that up." He shook his head and then shot a glare back at Josh. "You hush, the grownups are talking and we don't need your snarky commentary." He didn't really mean it of course, he just wanted to diffuse the bit of tension that Dani had accidentally created. "And really, it's not a problem. My powers make getting beer and money very easy. Do you guys really not want to settle down anywhere?"

"You're not alone. You got me," Andy said with what he hoped was a reassuring smile. "I'm not going to let anyone hurt you. I think we can figure out how to keep you safe without screwing everything up…but maybe a temporary relocation would be nice…"

He shook his head, trying to clear it and the pounding headache that resulted from what he had done. "I'm fine. Mostly. I hope." He glanced back at the body the demon had once inhabited and repressed a shudder. "I don't know how I did that Adam. I really don't."Andy wanted to keep the fear out of his voice, but it was nearly impossible. He wanted to be the adult, but he wasn't sure what he'd done and that terrified him.

Crying out as he was thrown to the floor and wincing as he heard something crack, he tried to remember some of the Latin his brothers had given him a crash course in, the words heavy and unfamiliar on his tongue as they spilled from his lips.

Andy swallowed thickly, trying to catch his breath. Then, eyes widening, he whirled around to face Adam. He raced to the other man's side and crouched down, careful not to jostle him. "Shit, shit, Adam, are you okay?"

He was tired of this, tired of being a target just because of his surname and his bloodline, and it appeared that Andy was just as much as risk here as he was. “Please!”

For a moment, all Andy could do was stare, trying to will himself into doing something but he felt like he was the one frozen. "N-no! Adam!"

He fixed his gaze at her, locking his eyes with hers. “Stay. Where. You are.” Finally, he got to stand in between the demon and Andy. “I’d say we should run but she’d probably follow us, and I don’t know how much longer I can hold her. Do you have any salt?”

"Some. Can you hold her off for a moment while I go and get it?" He murmured then, eyes locked on Andy’s as he kept his voice low and lips barely moving, in case the demon should overhear them.

"Yeah, yeah, I got her, just go," Andy said. His hand trembled a bit and the demon grinned. He let out a soft cry as his head pounded and she took one, shaking step towards him. "No, you STAY BACK!" The demon took a few steps back, lips twisting into an ugly snarl. "Adam, hurry up!"

"Well, no, everyone's got their own abilities," Andy said. He shrugged helplessly. "I don't know, but you don't need to help me. I just don't want to see anyone else get hurt because of all this crap when I could help you…"

"Andy! Just…just…" He faltered then, unable to put his thoughts into words as he locked eyes with his boyfriend as he shook his head. There was no way that he was leaving him alone.

He fixed his gaze at her, locking his eyes with hers. "Stay. Where. You are." Finally, he got to stand in between the demon and Andy. "I'd say we should run but she'd probably follow us, and I don't know how much longer I can hold her. Do you have any salt?"

Dani wasn’t entirely certain of the plan. Andy was driving them closer and closer to the shore of California. And with every mile, she became more and more nervous. Last time she went to a beach…her brother nearly died. She wrung her hands nervously, staring out the window as her brother sat in the backseat, excited for finally going to the beach after all these years. Dani glanced at Andy, trying to keep her voice low. “I don’t think this is really a good idea…” She mumbled.

Andy tapped out the beat to whatever song was playing on the radio on the steering wheel, frowning at Dani's words. "What's wrong? It's just the beach. I mean I know what happened with him but we'll both be there. If you wanna look away I'll keep watching. We'll never take our eyes off him. Can't let fear get in the way of a good time."

Ofelia could barely hear him. The blood was pumping so loudly in her ears, she couldn’t even hear a shout at this point. She stared down at the table top, absorbing the new information, though she was still in a state of shock.

It didn’t work that way, however. While the demon she had thrown was picking himself up and the demon Mic had recognized was trying to tear her throat out, the third demon was rushing past her towards Andy.

He scrabbled desperately at the demon's face, clawing at it, trying to get him off but the stupid thing just laughed. His vision swam and darkened, and he waited for some sort of survival instinct to get in, some desperate need to keep going to amplify his powers like it always did in the movies, but it never came.

Ofelia looked back at him, staring just as intensely as he did to her. As he said his command, she was hoping for it to work. But alas, she didn’t get up, she didn’t even move a muscle. She took a shaky breath before blinking. “N-No…” she stuttered, feeling her past hope of normalcy vanish from her.

"Oh really?" She grinned. "But he knows what I am. And I’d recognize those eyes anywhere. Winchester eyes, those are." She knocked Andy aside and stepped closer to Adam. "That what you are? A Winchester?"

"You’re a demon." Adam retorted then, willing to defend Andy to the last if it came to that. "Sort of, but that’s none of your business! Why are you here and what do you want with my boyfriend?"

She froze but she was trembling and Andy could feel his hold on her slipping. He turned his gaze towards Adam, trying to urge him to run without saying a word. 

Returning to the room moments later, he felt his breath hitch in his throat at the sight before him. “Andy!” He cried out, the words slipping out before he could stop them escaping, and thus he ended up drawing more attention to himself. “Demon…” He breathed out then, seeing her eyes darken, and he grabbed a large stick from the floor as a weapon - one that Max had brought home on his last walk. “Let him go!”

"Oh really?" She grinned. "But he knows what I am. And I'd recognize those eyes anywhere. Winchester eyes, those are." She knocked Andy aside and stepped closer to Adam. "That what you are? A Winchester?"
