Dean Tells the Truth
“Near, I've got no proof. You all heard it on the earphones, but I've got no proof because he's not gonna believe you. Let me up, Sammy. I'll tell you, but I know how this is gonna end.”
The younger Winchester lowered his hand, and Dean could move. He struggled to get up, and Mello went to help him.
“Thanks, Mello.” Dean turned to face his brother and started walking towards him, his head high. If he was going down, he was not going down without fighting.
“We found out about some ancient creatures, Sam. The only way to kill them was to behead them. You had to take out the queen before you could kill the rest easily. With you down, we didn't have enough with experience. The queen was mating, okay. Ruby told her about me. Her bodily fluids, all of them, were highly acidic. They forced some awful black stuff down my throat. It did two things, Sam. First, it deadened pain, and second, it was a very powerful aphrodisiac. Hell, I'd do anything the queen wanted, and there was nothing I could do to stop it. I was manacled to the floor by one foot, on some filthy smelling furs.”
“Ruby showed up.”
Watari didn't move, keeping the gun pressed to Sam's head. He wasn't going to take any chances.
Dean looked in Sam's eyes which showed nothing at the moment. He shook slightly, but kept himself straight and tall. He would not be a coward in this.
“She talked about her sex life with you, Sam. How you liked it rougher. She said she'd heard stories about me. Anna and Ruby compared notes when we were all talking together. That kind of freaked me out. She wanted to compare us. I told her hell no. That drug gave me no choice, Sam. I'm sorry. For some stupid reason she decided she wanted to keep me as a toy. I had agreed to that to save Near. We both got shot in a melee. I'm sorry, Sam, but it was not consensual.”
“Are you trying to tell me that it was rape? I know you, Dean.”
Near frowned, going to the computer and accessing a file to show Sam. L had insisted they keep this until Sam had managed to get his thinking straight. The medical report would show the damage done to Near and Dean at the gun shot.
Sam looked at it. “I'm not denying you've both been shot, but this doesn't prove Ruby raped him. Dean likes women. He'd screw anything that hid the pain for a while. I know him.”
His brother flinched at the accusations but did not move.
“There is no proof, Sam. It's just my word.”
"Proof is here. L insisted it be kept in case of this eventuality, Dean. Near is sorry." He pressed play.
“Hello, Dean. Surprised to see me? Your angel is pretty good, but I had a large group with me, and I believe he is probably still fighting them. Did you honestly think I would miss this?”
“One can hope, Ruby. What do you want here? This is what you were waiting for, isn't it? Me out of the way?”
“Well, the queen and I were talking, and I've been telling her how aggressive a lover Sam is, but I didn't think you would compare. Still, there are the stories about you. She wants to know, and you are pretty well drugged up now.”
“I don't want a word picture of how my brother is in bed. I damn well am not interested in comparisons. Get the hell out, Ruby.”
“Oh, hell no. This ain't gonna happen, Ruby.”
“Dean, the draught they gave you will make you very biddable. You will want it, enjoy it, and not feel any pain, anywhere during this. I want to see which brother is really better. And I want to punish you for your interference. I hope you like my little friend, here.”
Ruby told him to take his clothes off. The sound of Dean not moving fast enough, and the demon ordering the two escorts to cut them off him was soon heard "What the hell, Ruby. I can't afford to replace those."
The sound of lashes could be heard. Then there were sounds that were easy to understand. They could hear her moans and queen saying , “Yes, he will do well.”
“Damn, he's good. Different from Sam, but you would expect that. I will leave you to your breeding and entertainment, I think, my queen.”
“Aw, come on...give a guy a break.”
“The drug will keep you potent and agreeable for a few more hours, then the pain will set in and you will be useless to me, I want to experience what you gave the demon, hunter. Yes, I know what you are. After your performance, I would love to keep you, but you are dangerous. It must not be allowed. I will enjoy your flesh in more ways then one tonight.”
It was silent for a moment. Dean's voice was heard and Sam realized he had been watched. "Get rid of them." Another silence occurred and then the queen's voice, "Leave us."
After a few moments Dean was heard again.
“Well, come on then, bitch. I'm ready for you.” The queen was rather vocal, but little was heard from Dean, other then a slight sob.
Later Dean was heard to scream “Now!”
L's eyes were focused on Sam, Mello's as well. Near was watching Dean.
Sam stared at his brother, reading his face. The pain was real. Dean heard what he'd managed to block with everything else that happened. His brother recognized the signs of Dean going into shock, knowing he'd not faced it even a little. Tears started flowing down Sam's face. He watched Dean fall to the floor, and he roared in rage, an arm going out and blood pouring from his nose as he concentrated. He twisted and retwisted his hand like he was grabbing or fisting something. He screamed...”RUBY!!!!!!” Within seconds, her scream could be heard throughout the building.
Mello was beside Dean in a flash, helping Near brace him. "You need to focus, Dean."
The hunter's face was paler then usual, the hazel eyes staring off into space, and they could see a slight struggle to come back from wherever his mind had gone. He was not winning very quickly.
Seconds later, Sam, face bloodied, knelt by his brother. “God, Dean, I'm so sorry. I'm so damned sorry.” He pulled, the older man into his arms and rocked him.
Near's voice was flat. "Sam Winchester wishes to make amends?"
“Yes, damn it. Dean, I was wrong.You were right. I can't help having these powers, but the blood was not a good idea. I was screwed up, Dean. Please, Dean, don't do this. I'll help you every way I can, Dean. I need help. We both do, honestly...just don't run from this. We'll face it together. Please, Dean!”
Tears were flowing heavily down the younger brother's face. It was easy to see that he had broken. He would not let go of the man in his arms.
L interrupted then. "Sam must accept he has a problem. That is the first step in recovery. We cannot help you until you let go of that arrogance and pride."
Sam was sniffing hard, wiping tears and snot off his face. “I know that. Hell, I've had a problem my whole life. I needed to be allowed to grow up. I tried when I left, but that didn't last. Dean didn't know any better. Hell, I sure didn't. Arrogance and pride? Yeah, you're right. I have mine, and Dean's. Hell, he's the most humble person I know. He hides it like everything else, afraid of being hurt. Dad and I did a number on him. We gotta help him, right now. He's not responding.”
The gun was put away and Watari knelt in front of Dean, flashing a pack of smelling salts under his nose in hopes it might pull him to reality.
A strong tremor went through the downed hunter's body and he struggled to regain self control. He looked into his brother's tear drenched face. Typical of Dean, hiding feelings, he softly uttered., “You're covered with boogers, man. Help me up, will you?”
Sam helped him sit up. Dean slowly glanced around, trying to focus. He saw Near and Mello right beside him. He struggled to focus.
“What happened?” He looked at the computer beside Near and paled. “Oh.” His eyes clouded and he couldn't look at Sam.
Near tapped his cheek, making Dean look at him. "It was agreed on no hiding."
Dean nodded and turned towards his brother as best he could with his injuries.
“Oh, lord, Sam. I'm so sorry. I'm so damn sorry.” Dean started crying, Sam holding him, wept with him.
“I am too, Dean. We got to work everything out together, Dean. There's so much damage and bad history between us. It's not all our fault. Dad is to blame for most of this, but we have to deal with it, both separately and together. I'm sorry.”
Near rose with Mello's help, the white haired one looking tired and in pain but turned to L before nodding to slip out. The scream had to be investigated.
When Near got to the cameras which monitored the demon,, the scene was disgusting. There were pieces of Ruby everywhere. She had literally exploded. There was no way the demon could have escaped.
A white brow arched slightly as he stared at the monitor. "Sam Winchester truly needs to watch the temper," he murmured to himself. Matt, who had come by, snickered and shook his head. "I am SOO not cleaning that up
