Dean opens his eyes, dust swirling in his vision, gravel under his head, bright sun scorching his face. He has just enough time to wonder where he is before he sits up to see that he\u2019s lying in the parking lot of Harvelle\u2019s Roadhouse. Ash is crouched a few feet away, staring at him.<\/p>\n

“Oh\u2026” Dean coughs.<\/p>\n

“Yep,” says Ash nonchalantly.<\/p>\n

“Does this mean\u2026 This time, I\u2019m really\u2026”<\/p>\n

Ash sticks out and hand and helps Dean to his feet. \u201cDon\u2019t you fucking complain. You were, like, seventy. That\u2019s a lot more than any of us got.\u201d<\/p>\n

“Sam,” Dean mutters, distracted. “And Cas\u2026”<\/p>\n

“They\u2019ll be along,” Ash promises. “I\u2019ve even got the TVs inside wired up so you can keep an eye on them. Relax, man. It was your time.”<\/p>\n

Dean draws in a long breath of air, tasting hot sand, and blows it back out. \u201cDid you find Ellen and Jo?\u201d<\/p>\n

“I found everybody<\/em>,\u201d says Ash with a grin. \u201cSince the angels left, I run this place. All the locks are busted off the doors now. People can come and go between different versions of Heaven all they want. You can go visit Bobby and Rufus – they mostly drive around with Rufus\u2019s daughter. Victor\u2019s got a nice lake house. You can go rock out with Pam or hit the gun range with Gwen. Dude, I even found your mom!\u201d<\/p>\n

Dean turns and clears his throat to hide the happy tears that are threatening to pour down his cheeks. \u201cOkay, I could get used to this,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n

"Come on in, then,” says Ash, leading Dean toward the Roadhouse. As they walk, he quickly adds, “Oh, I better warn you. You remember how Kevin Tran asked you to tell him what all was going down before he died, and you told him to trust you, and he told you that he\u2019d get screwed over?”<\/p>\n

“Uh, yeah.”<\/p>\n

With a grimace, Ash flings the front door of the Roadhouse open. At the sight of Dean\u2019s face, Kevin springs up from where he\u2019s sharing a Coke with Linda at the bar, strikes the most dramatic pose he can possibly manage, and screams in a voice that shakes the rafters, \u201cI TOLD YOU SO.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
