Summary
“I can't help you,” Missouri tells Sam, reaching over to calm his shaking hands. She squeezes them gently, and the kindness seems achingly out of place here in the ruins of what might have been his childhood. “But I know who can. Some friends of your mother's.”
My mom had friends? Sam almost asks before realizing how stupid it would sound. Of course Mary Winchester had friends. She probably had a best friend and another friend she only saw once a year but kept up with over the phone and another friend she went bowling with on Saturdays and another friend who she only hung out with because it was polite. Mary Winchester had friends and hobbies and interests because Mary Winchester used to be a person, not a martyr to avenge or a stick to beat her children with or a ghost who told him she was sorry.
“You and Dean should see them,” Missouri says thoughtfully, squeezing Sam’s fingers one more time before letting go. “You’re Mary’s boys. That should count for something, even if you’re John’s, too.”
(In which Castiel was always a rebel, Mary was never meant to be the perfect wife, and five almost-orphans must pick up the pieces before all Hell breaks loose.)
