Ben, Dean and Alec's Story

AN: Okay so I know I have some other stories on the go just now but I needed to get this one out of my head before I could write for any of the other ones.

Disclaimer: I own neither Dark Angel or Supernatural.

Warning: This is a complete AU! I do not stick strictly with either storyline.

Need To Know: Sam and Dean were not born the same years as in Supernatural to be able to fit in with the Dark Angel timeline. Dean is not Alec or Ben, he is his own person. John knew that Mary was a hunter. Also let's just assume that Yellow Eyes had infected Sam with his blood without anyone knowing.

That's all! Now to the story! =D

Chapter One

Lawrence,Kansas- 2004

John Winchester never actually saw Mary die. He wasn't even present in the house at the time. He had been kicked out of the house for the night. Again. Mary had still been thouroughly pissed off at John, a week after he had taken Dean and Ben to a man named Donald Lydecker, when they had been in a nearly fatal car crash. Lydecker had taken the boys into to his workplace, some sort of facility, to help them. He had given them a syringe full of God only knew what, and hooked them up to a heart monitor and an IV drip. Within a day the boys were stirring from injury induced comas. They went home on the second day with the order of bed rest. Within a week they were completely healed, with no scars. Lydecker demanded they come back for a couple of harmless tests to ensure there would be no side effects to the drug they were given. Mary didn't like it, but John had insisted. So hours later, when they came out of the large sterile room, Mary and John weren't allowed to enter, Mary was thoroughly pissed off that her babies had a scared look in their eyes. It was the same haunted look that she had seen in her own eyes, after a few of the more dangerous hunts her and her father had been on. So Mary threw John out of the house for the night, out of utter rage. So when Mary died that night, John was in the bar down the road from his house, thinking about what he had done wrong.

Donald Lydecker was not the person Mary had expected to come bursting through her door that evening. In fact she hadn't even thought of any human that would blast open her front door, at midnight that night. She had considered the yellow eyed demon, that promised would return for something, ten years after that fateful day, she made the deal that brought John back to life. It was ten years later, so when Lydecker did push his way into her home that evening she was more than surprised.

"Hello Mary" Lydeckers voice sends chills down Mary's spine.

"What do you think your doing here Donald?" Mary set a six month old Sam, down and tensed all her muscles ready to protect him if needs be.

"Where's John?"

"He's not here. Why?"

"No reason, it just makes this easier." The words were cold and in that moment Mary knew he was here to take her children.

"No you can't have them!" She launched herself at Lydecker and got in couple of good blows to the face, before his back up came in and wrestled Mary off of him. More of his people came in and they went upstairs.

"We only want Dean really, he seems to be a better subject than Ben."

Upstairs

Dean and Ben had heard the intruders come in and had hidden in their closet. They had heard their mother shouting and started to come out to see what was going on. Then they heard Lydeckers voice and abandoned all thoughts of going out there. The man had terrified them. He nearly drowned them today, in a tank with them chained to the bottom! Even though they were still only three and a half, they were smarter than most five years olds. They had understood that they were being treated like some sort of guinea pig. There was more shouting downstairs and Ben and Dean were caught in a heated argument. They were using hand signals to communicate, to ensure the people wondering around upstairs wouldn't hear them. But they could here exactly how close the people were, and knew they would soon be found. Their hearing and eyesight was better ever since the first visit to Lydecker. They were also faster moving too. It confused them to a certain extent but they just accepted it after the first day. But now stuck in a closet , using the hand signals that Lydecker, himself had taught them that very day, they argued about what they were going to do.

" Ben you can't just expect me to do what you want just cause your older by half an hour!" Dean signed to Ben getting annoyed.

" But Dean, I am the oldest and therefore i'm going to be the one that goes out to check on mom! Just stay here!" Dean huffed and Ben took that to mean fine. He climbed out of the closet and went to the door to listen for a little bit. Heavy footsteps nearby. Lydecker saying he was here to take Dean. Something about DNA, Ben didn't understand. Next thing Ben knew he was being lifted up , and being taken downstairs. A man was asking if he was Dean. Not wanting them to take his brother, Ben nodded his head.

"If I come with you guys quietly, will you leave my mom and brothers alone?" The man nodded his head, and Ben just hoped his mom and dad would be able to get him back from these people.

When Mary saw her son in the arms of the enemy something inside her snapped and she managed to break free from those who were restraining her. There was a loud bang, that had Ben covering his newly sensitive ears, and Mary crumpled to the ground. The front of her white nightgown quickly colouring with her blood. Dean came to the top of the stairs unnoticed by the bad guys, and let his mouth hang open in a small 'o'. Ben looked from his mom to his brother, And screamed at the men.

"You LIED! You lied to me, no please don't hurt my brothers!" Lydecker told the man holding who they thought was Dean, to take him into the van and sedate him. Then he told the other men to burn the place down.

"What about the other boys sir?" One of the men asked, not liking the thought of killing two young boys.

"Just leave them here" Lydecker said without a second thought. Sam started crying loudly, and Dean couldn't move. Mary was almost dead by the time the fire started. She made Dean come over to her, and he came running, faster than any child should be able to!

"Dean take Sammy outside as fast as you can!" He didn't move. The fire was spreading fast. "NOW DEAN! GO!" Dean gave Mary a kiss and grabbed Sam from his basket. He knew this was the last time he'd ever see his mother. Silent tears ran down his face as he ran out of the house with Sam. Then it exploded. It was so loud Dean, had to put Sam down and cover his ears. He felt his eardrums burst and the blood seep through his fingers, but he didn't feel the pain. Dean picked Sam back up and sat down on the grass just watching the house burn. What felt like years later to Dean, somebody crouched down next to him and tried to take Sam from him. He struggled with them, before realising that they were just wanting to check he was okay. Not letting go of Sam, Dean let the paramedic check him over, then let himself be checked out. The blood from his ears were a source of worry in the paramedics, however they couldn't find any damage so let it be.

John arrived soon after the paramedics and when he saw Mary's burnt body being removed from the house he collapsed to his knees. Not knowing Dean and Sam were right behind him, just watching until Sam started crying again. John rushed over to his boys and asked the paramedics if they were okay. He then asked about where Ben was. Nobody knew. He asked Dean but he just stared at his dad, expressionless. John asked around to see if anyone had seen Ben, everyone said no, then a police officer told John he must of burnt up completely in the flames. John went back to Dean and Sam and picked them both up. He took them to the Impala and drove away from the house. He stopped at a motel just outside Nebraska. There he got a room for himself and Dean and Sam, and stayed up all night crying. Finally releasing his grief. Dean didn't cry. He just stared off into space. It was what scared John the most. It must of been a horrible scene to see, if his usually happy, carefree son was willingly shutting the world out. John could tell Dean was in more pain than even him, he just wasn't ready to acknowledge it yet.


What do ya think? :)
