Missing scene from 7.02, Hello, Cruel World, as Sam and Dean leave the warehouse to head back to Bobby's.

Sam follows his brother to the Impala and for one brief moment, he panics.

Is that really Dean?

Dean's words come back to him: You gotta believe me. You gotta make it stone number one and build on it. You understand?

Sam grips his injured hand tightly, squeezing until the pain is almost unbearable. It takes a moment but he finally realizes he is with his brother, not some hallucination of his fractured mind.

Dean glances back at him, the worry evident on his face.

Sam tries to give him an encouraging smile but it falters.

Is that really Dean?

A/N: I loved Jared's portrayal of Sam in this episode. It was heartbreakingly beautiful.

Thanks for reading! Comments are always welcome.

I also have a hiatus fic I'm updating weekly if anyone is interested called, There Ain't No Me If There Ain't No You. My version of Demon Dean and all that good stuff.
