Supernatural was a tv show that she binged watched for a few years before catching up with season 8, and falling out about a year later. New obsessions took that place, and it had been years since she last thought of the show let alone read fanfiction about it. That is her defense as to why it took her so long to figure out how fucked she was. Though, it's not like dying and being reborn as a baby with all your memories would make you think of Supernatural to begin with.

Bethany Braeden was born on April 23, 1999, to Lisa Braeden, in Ciceco Indiana. Before she was called Beth, her birthday was on July 22, 1995. Not only that, but she died in 2017. When she figured all that out by the age of 2, Beth didn't know rather to be upset that reincarnation was apparently a thing, or upset that she would be living the same years. In the end, Beth just thought of this as a redo with a new family, new name, and new location.

Lisa was a pretty awesome mom. As far as Beth could tell, there was no father in the picture, and Beth never felt the need to ask. The name Lisa Braeden seemed familiar, but Beth never put too much thought about it. She was more worried about the fact she knew she wasn't acting like a normal little girl even if her brain and body were one, but Lisa was nothing but supportive and loving. Willing to buy her books that were no way age appropriate, willing to take an extra shift to pay for the college classes that her teacher recommended Beth to take (she already graduated college in the past), and willing to talk to her like a mini adult rather than a baby.

Therefore a few weeks after her 8th birthday in this life, Beth was already a middle school student taking math and science classes at Ivy Tech and was getting ready to get her GED the following school year before applying full time at the community college. While Beth still wasn't sure if she wanted to be a astrophysics like in her other life, there was no way she could survive much more of primary education.

You would think being with a class with four years her seniors would be hard, but Beth found out that helping the science club win nationals was a good way to make some friends. Sallie Underwood was going to be going to the same high school as Beth next year, and treated her like a little sister. Reggie Anderson was a bit of a know-it-all that only got better after Beth put him in his place. Barry was his younger brother who the others keep saying has a crush on Beth, but she is pretty sure that's a lie. Larrie Triggs was a shy girl that keeps saying the only reason she joined was because of Barry, but found her place in their nerdy team before long. It was a good group and Beth was happy that they now all had cell phones or emails so they can keep in touch.

The after party even ended up being at their house, which is the sight that Dean Winchester walked into.

"Dean!"

Lisa was just a gorgeous as he remembers, and apparently, she remembers him just as fondly if that smile was anything to go by.

"Lisa. How's it going?" Dean asked with his boyish grin while Lisa looked over his form.

"Wow. It's been a while hasn't it."

"Eight, going on nine years now. Crazy, right?"

"Yeah," Lisa said with a small laugh, before turning her attention back to his face. "So, what are you doing here?"

"Oh, I was just, I was passing through, and... uh, I couldn't resist. I remember that you love surprises."

Lisa gave another chuckle, no doubt thinking the same thing that he was.

"Yeah. Dean Winchester. Wow. Just... wow. I'm – I'm sorry. You kind of came at a bad time. We're having a party..."

"A party? Well, I love parties." Dean said with a smile.

This was just what the doctor orders. A good time to get reacquainted with Lisa, and if he got lucky they-

His train of thought stopped when he saw a bunch of kids were in the backyard throwing dies and chips at each other. It was so far from the parties that he and Lisa use to go that that for a second Dean wondered if he did get the wrong lady.

"So, uh, who's the party for?" Dean asked cause all the kids look like preteens.

Maybe Lisa just got stuck babysitting or-

"My daughter Beth and her science club," Lisa said pointing at the girl who looked way too young for the group.

"Oh, so you have a-"

"Yep."

"...and the dragon laughs at you, time to roll initiative!" The brown hair girl said happily as the other kids starting rolling all the dies.

"How old-" Dean just had to ask because that girl with the short hair and leather jacket looked just like...

"She turned 8 a few weeks ago. Beth skips a few grades and is going to be starting high school next year." Lisa interrupted before Dean could continue that thought.

And maybe the time still fits, but there was no way any kid of his could be that nerdy. Sam, but not him. Dean tried to tell himself that was a good thing.

"Oh, wow. High school. That's-"

And there was a knock at the door.

"Oh Sorry, that should be my friend. I'll be right back."

"That's fine, I'll just..." Dean said but Lisa already left him in the yard.

"...And the dragon bites down on Della Reese, blood going everywhere-" Beth was saying in a dramatic voice before a blonde hair girl with pigtails spoke up.

"I want to use my Hellish Rebuke!"

Beth gave a nod, and without skipping a beat, "But with her last breath, Della Reese points at the dragon, black fires from the pits of hell themselves surrounding the beast. When the fires fade, all you see is the skeleton remains of the dragon... and of a human."

"Noooo." The blonde hair girl said as her head smacked on the table.
Beth gave a chuckle before standing up to give the other girl a hug.

"Sorry Sallie, but maybe the others will go on a quest to bring her back to life?"

"For sure Sals. I'm dming next week so you know I wouldn't force you to make a new character." Some nerdy boy with glasses and braces said with a smile.

"No, I think I'll let Della move on. I don't want her coming back a zombie or worst."

Beth gave the girl another pat on the back, before walking over and raising a brow when she notices Dean.

Dean gave a very casual wave and the girl shook her head.

"There's beer in there if you want any. I'm sure Mom will be back soon, with friends if you're into that." Beth said with a smirk before grabbing herself a soda.

"So, what were you kids doing over there?" Dean ended up asked, taking a beer for later.

"A game. Dungeon and dragons if you're that interested."

Dean couldn't help but make a face at that. He remembers that argument Sam got into with their dad about that game once.

"Hey, don't judge it until you try it man," Beth said before leaving.

Beth might be even more Sam-like then Dean thought, but he still couldn't shake the feeling that maybe, just maybe...

"Sorry about that. Had a bit of a neighbor problem going on." Lisa said as she came back into the backyard.

"Yeah, It's fine. I uh, I met Beth. She's a pretty cool kid."

"Yeah," Lisa said as she looked over to said kid.

"Yeah. ... You know, I couldn't help but notice that, uh, she's eight. You and me ... you know." Dean tried his best to casual say, but from the chuckle that Lisa gave him, it didn't seem like it was as smooth as he hoped.

"You're not trying to ask me if she's yours are you?"

"No. Nah, of course not." Dean quickly said, and they both shared a laugh.
It was just a coincidence. Nothing more than that. But Dean also needed to know for sure since he wouldn't be around for her 9th birthday either way.

"She's not, is she?"

"What? Uh, well... don't worry about it. You weren't the only guy I dated back then." Lisa said with a smile.

Dean smiled back as the conversation moved on and Dean finally asked the questions he needed to figure out if this was a job or not, but Dean also realized that Lisa never said no straight out.

The next day was Sunday and Beth ended up at the nearby park. She was going to just play pokemon all day, but unfortunately, some of the neighborhood saw and wanted to play. Not wanting to make a scene (and because they were physical older than her) Beth let them bower it. Only it has been two hours and they ignored all her attempts at getting them back.

"Hey Beth."

Beth looked up from her swing to see that man from her party yesterday was there. She thought he looked familiar, and now looking at him again Beth was willing to bet it was because they have some very similar figures. Beth wasn't one to make assumptions, but it was pretty clear from how he acted the guy was an old flame of her mom's. He could be her bio-dad, or he could just think he was. In the end, it didn't really matter unless he has some genetic disorder she might inherit.

"Hey, dude. What's up?"

"It's Dean, and what's up with you?" He asked and Beth couldn't keep the grimace from her face as she turned to glare at the two boys.

"Is everything okay? Something wrong?" Dean paused and then asked, "Is that your game they're playing with."

"Ryan Humphrey borrowed it, and last time I asked for it back he called me a dyke and..." Beth then realized she was talking to an adult who knew her mom.

"And?"

"And don't tell my mom, but I said that just means I'll get more pussy when I'm older," Beth said and the guy burst out laughing.

It wasn't the best comeback, but Beth was pretty proud of it. Too bad that it didn't help get her game back any quicker.

"If you want I could go over and-"

"Nope." Beth cut off Dean before he could continue. "Sending an adult in would just make things worse the next time this happened."

"Well, you're not wrong." He said, looking at the two boys for a moment longer before asking, "Is that Humphrey? The one that needs to lay off the burgers?"

Beth gave a snort of laughter even though it wasn't really nice to laugh at fat people. Still, Ryan was an ass.

"Why don't you ask again, and then kick him between the legs if he still refuses."

"He's a kid. I can't just kick him in the dick." Beth said as Dean looked to her.

"You're a kid too, and it sounds like he is already a dick."

Beth made a silent 'o' sound before realizing that while Lisa wouldn't be happy about this when she finds out (and Beth knows that she will find out), it would keep Ryan off her back. Violence isn't always the solution, but sometimes it does help when it's the only thing people will listen to.

With a smirk, Beth gave Dean a nod before hopping off the swing and marching over to Ryan.

"Last chance. Can I have my game back. Please." Beth said, not even bothering to sound nice.

"Well, why don't you take it if you want it so bad?" Ryan said as he held the Gameboy up, and Beth sighed before swing her leg back and round kicking the older kid in the groin.

Beth casual picked up her Gameboy that fell to the ground and grins as the boys ran off in fear.

"Thanks Dean. I needed that extra push." Beth said only to see that Lisa was walking over. "Shit."

"Bethany. Irene. Braeden! What has gotten into you?" Lisa yelled, and while Beth does remember being an adult, there was nothing like a parent yelling at you to make you feel more like a kid.

"He stole my game! And was using slurs!" Beth tried defending, but Lisa kept looking down at her in disappointment.

"So you kicked him? You've never solved your problems like this before, why-" Then Lisa seemed to notice that Dean was there with them. "Did you tell my daughter to beat up that kid."

Beth cringe, because while it wasn't the best advice, Beth knew that Dean gave it probably due to his own experiences. He was just trying to help.

"What? Somebody had to teach him how to kick the bully in the nads." Dean said and Beth felt like facepalming.

That not what you tell an angry mom.

"Who asked you to teach her anything?"

"Just relax..." Dean tried saying, but it was clear that Lisa was having none of that.

"What are you even still doing here? We had one weekend together a million years ago. You don't know me. And you have no business with my daughter." Lisa said before coming over and pulling Beth over to her.

"Lisa," Dean said, and man did he sound heartbroken.

"Just leave us alone." Lisa said before turning away, still trying to guide Beth with a hand on her back.

However, Beth made the mistake of looking back, and now Dean was looking like a kicked puppy. He was just trying to help, and it was practical self-defense at that point...

Before she could think too much about it, Beth doughed under her mom's arm and ran over to Dean. Giving him a hug around the waist.

"Beth!"

"Thanks Dean. Really." Beth said before letting go and running back to Lisa who was looking a little less angry then she thought she would.

"Please don't make a habit of doing that." Lisa ended up saying as they were halfway home.

Beth gave a half laugh before saying, "I will make no such promise."

Lisa sigh before rubbing her curly hair.

"That's what I was afraid you were going to say. And here I was told that girls were easier at this age than boys." Lisa said and when Beth started laughing, she joined in.

Neither noticed the strange children watching them.

A/N: so this happened. I already posted this over on ao3, but figured that some people might find it over on here. This chapter and the next chapter will be the closest we get to a canon retelling, but I thought it would be a good place to start.

Here's a question: If you were placed into the supernatural universe, what season would you choose?
