Thread: The Road so Far: Supernatural Soulmates (Krystal x Madam Mim)

Another bright, easy grin bloomed across Jude's features. Cherry pie it is then, she agreed before looking at Sam. Agent Hendricks? There was no way Sam was giving up this opportunity. Yeah! Pie sounds great! Thank you your offer is very generous. He smiled back at her despite the Dean's glare, which he could feel burning into his neck. Awesome! I'm off at five so whenever you guys are done you can hang out here, she offered. See you then, Agent Winchester. Jude grinned fondly. She was immensely proud of the boy who had broken her heart. So...do I get to know what happened? Sam asked in the car, glancing over at his brother. Because no way I'm sleeping in a skeevy motel bed and not watching how this plays out, you know. He'd already resigned himself to having to needle it out of Dean slowly over time a decision he only confirmed when Dean got snitty with Cas. He opened his mouth to say something in the angel's defense, but was cut off by a quiet murmuring nearby. Sam raised his eyebrows at the blue-haired woman who had clearly heard their entire conversation. And...who the hell are you? he demanded. The newcomer introduced herself as a fae queen, but Castiel already knew that. He knew she wouldn't remember, but why wouldn't she look at him? He stood like a marble statue for a few moments, mouth slightly open, hardly daring to believe it if he'd had a physical heart it would have stopped. All these centuries and now fate or destiny or God, whatever it was, had brought her to him again. Castiel resisted the urge to grab her up and hold her in his arms, to smother her with kisses socially inept though he was, even he knew that that would scare her. Still, he had to make her remember somehow. Trying to do it all at once surely wouldn't work, but how could he slowly remind her of who she was? Who they were? Dean announced that they could trust her and he nodded slowly, still hardly daring to look away. Uh, sidebar guys? Sam pulled both of them aside and murmured in a low voice, Have you both completely lost your minds? A random fae shows up out of the blue, announces she's a queen--and oh, by the way, it's not her using this fae magic to kill people--and you think we should just... believe her ? Castiel set his jaw. We can trust her, he insisted. I know her I've been searching for her for centuries. I...she...I was her guardian. The angel's relationship with Krystal was deeply personal and he was hesitant to divulge it, even to the Winchesters. Things happened, we were both caught up in a conflict and got separated. But I assure you, we can trust her she would never do something like this. Centuries? Cas, people can change a lot in a few years never mind a few centuries. Castiel shook his head. Not her, he insisted stubbornly. Sam pursed his lips, cast another dubious glance over at Krystal, and huffed. Fine, he said finally. But if she turns out to be the killer, or if she betrays us or something, it's on you. This is a responsibility I'm willing to accept. The boys and Castiel stepped back over to Krystal and Sam smiled tightly. I'm Sam, this is my brother Dean, and Cas. So um, you know who's been doing this?
