The thing about being on the road is you never knew where you'd end up. As it so happened, Dean and Sam were staying at a nearby motel and Dean wanted a drink in a major way. It had been a long day. Sam decided to stay behind and read and so Dean set out on his own. He left the Impala behind as it was just a short walk and a well lit night.

Dean walked into the cantina, ordered a beer and settled on a seat off near a corner. He sat down, leaning back in his chair and took a nice long cool drink.

"Yeah, but I can't really remember how to do them right now." Mara's grin fades to apology as her green eyes darken with sadness.

"Chance at what?" She snorts again, eyes still on the window. "I have a family. I don't need some knockoff of my dad."

"Mary, that's enough." John frowns at her.

"That's okay Mara, no biggie." he turns to Mary again.

"I'm glad you have a family, it's more than I've got. I've just got Sam. I don't know you, I'm not your dad. If I'm somebody you don't wanna know that's totally cool with me. Just rather you didn't give me the cold shoulder when you do see me for somethin I didn't do. Y'know?"

She turns to frown at him, looking him right in the eye as though reading him.

Dean gives her a shrug and a half smile, showing he meant no malice, he just didn't want problems from somebody he didn't even know. He looked her right back in the eyes.

She turns back to the window. "Least you don't seem to have a stick...."

"Mary...."

She rolls her eyes and falls silent, then reaches back and pokes her grandfather gently in apology.

Dean raises his eyebrows and holds in a laugh. She was definitely his kid... well a version of him anyway. He turns back to John and looks at Mara with a smile then back to John. "So you and Missouri huh? Small world." He didn't begrudge a version of his father moving on, but it still sort of stung to see him with anyone but Mary.

John nods, sighing. "It nearly happened in my reality too."

"Nearly happened? Wait, so... you and Missouri are from different realities and met somewhere else?" Dean was getting a headache, all this reality play was hard to keep track of. He pinches the bridge of his nose to ease the ow and takes a drink of his beer.
