Without looking at the content, he could guess who the message came from, after all, to dare to take his private communication channel as their own backyard, there was only that one psychopath.

As expected, the message came from the Space Prison:

My dear executive, I have great news for you.

When Mara began thinking she was pregnant the couple very quickly rushed a wedding party, which turned out pretty great.  Her suspicions were quickly confirmed.  Before their baby made it into the world, the couple adopted a very stupid dog that they named Einstein.  

Mara & Ely’s baby marks the first baby of a new generation- a 3rd Generation Davenportian (I’ll... workshop that).  They named the little boy Dante Arcos.

What Everyone Needs to Know Q&A: What kind of mobile phone do you have? What name brands are emblazoned across your t-shirts or jeans? In an age where we have an abundance of choices in the marketplace, we want to know…

Why is branding so important to consumers?

Brands become part of our identity. They help us define who we are to ourselves as well as those around us. What we wear, the phone we carry, the car we drive are all identifiers that tell others who we are. Marketers talk about this as “brands as badges.” So you may think one thing about someone with a can of Budweiser in their hand, but have a completely different perception of that person if you replaced that Bud can with a bottle of Heineken. This is all due to branding. The same idea applies to cars, clothes, and cosmetics.

And, because brands have become so much a part of who we are, we expect them to be embedded with the values that we hold dear. It is a rare advertisement that will tell you the attributes (the physical aspects of a product) and benefits (what the product will do, such as get your clothes whiter) without also telling you how buying the product is somehow related to making the world a better place.

Branding is so much a part of our environment that per­sonal branding— turning ourselves into brands— has become the norm. Personal branding is driven by a number of factors. First, the increasingly freelance job market requires that labor­ers be able to distinguish themselves. Second, social media are driven by influencers— people who influence others to buy. Getting more followers on Twitter and friends on Facebook is the currency of the day, and the way to drive those numbers is through self- promotion. Finally, just like the Marlboro Man, people relate to people more than products, so brands connected to people drive interest.

Owl perceptions.

"A human being is a part of the whole called by us 'universe', a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feeling as something separated from the rest - a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty."

MonsterVerse Timeline

Welcome to Monarch, new operative! Before you begin, let’s take a debrief of the secret history that you never knew...

1915, SPLITTING THE ATOM: Albert Einstein’s relativity theory ultimately leads to the creation of the atomic bomb, thus a new dawn of The Atomic Age has begun. This act of human evolution sparks the beginning of a new Age of Monsters.

1943, THE U.S.S. LAWTON INCIDENT: The USS Lawton was attacked by an unidentified superspecies, William “Bill” Randa was the only survivor to tell the tale. Haunted by the memory of that day, Randa has since set out to become one of Monarch's foremost operatives, searching for the truth behind these ancient creatures that exists beneath the surface of our world.

1945, THE AWAKENING: The bombing of Hiroshima awakens the ancient superspecies Godzilla beneath the Earth, along with another ancient creature Shinomura.

1946, MONARCH FOUNDED: In the aftermath and cover-up of the U.S.S. Lawton incident, President Harry Truman unofficially establishes "Monarch Unit", a small, off-book research team established to engage in the systematic study of "Massive Unidentified Terrestrial Organisms". Privately, many of Truman's allies questioned the validity of the group's theories and work to keep their existence a secret.

1946-1954, GOJIRA: A series of multiple sightings have occurred across the Pacific Ocean. Godzilla’s existence was not yet proven until 1954, however his legend was quickly spread all across the Pacific.

1952, THE GREAT SMOG OF LONDON: Baffling meteorologists and defying atmospheric physicists, this unexplained phenomenon saw London’s streets overwhelmed by huge clouds of air-polluting smoke. Monarch theorizes that the beating wings of a giant creature could have created an anticyclone that unleashed airborne pollutants across the city.

1954, OPERATION - CASTLE BRAVO: Shortly after Godzilla’s discovery, the U.S. military took action and attempted to terminate the monster. The event was later covered up as a "nuclear testing".

It is unknown at this time if Godzilla had been eliminated or is still alive.

1959, SIBERIAN MYSTERY: At the height of the Cold War, aerial photography taken from a Russian spy plane reveals a huge containment facility established around an icecap in Siberia. The Monarch emblem can be emblazoned across the canopy of the structure.

1973, MISSION - SKULL: Monarch surreptitiously partners with LandSat and the 1st aviation brigade, 3rd assault helicopter company, Sky Devils, to mount an expedition to the mythical "Skull Island" in an uncharted corner of the Pacific. Encountering the god-like superspecies known as Kong, they soon discover that mankind does not belong here.

1991, ISLA DE MARA: A covert Monarch team establishes a quarantine zone around the island's dormant volcano, under the guise of 'environmental research'. Over the coming years what began as a small scientific outpost will expand to become a full containment facility around the mouth of the volcano.

1995, RETURN TO SKULL ISLAND: Monarch security officer Aaron Brooks defies his father Houston Brooks and leads an off-the-books expedition to Skull Island to determine what has become of Kong since the 1973 expedition, but also for assurance that Kong is on their side. It is also discovered that Kong has grown larger in size since the last expedition.

1999, JANJIRA MELTDOWN: Following an explosive disaster at the Janjira nuclear power-plant, Monarch established a quarantine zone outside of Tokyo. Former nuclear physicist Joseph Brody discovers that the Janjira Q-Zone is in reality a containment facility established around a dormant M.U.T.O.

2005, A MYSTERIOUS MERCENARY: Former British Army Colonel and MI-6 agent Jonah Alan is locked up in Pakistani prison after an encounter with Monarch agents. Alan and his band of mercenary accomplices were caught trying to breach the walls of a subterranean M.U.T.O. dig-site.

2009, TEMPLE OF THE MOTH: Mythographic studies of Chinese temples leads Monarch to the high-altitude jungles of the Yunnan Province. Dr. Emma Russell and her team discovered a temple housing a giant cocoon with a "quickening heartbeat."

2012, MESSAGE IN A BOTTLE: Days before retirement, Monarch veteran Houston Brooks receives an encrypted recorder bearing a message from his son. His unauthorized mission to Skull Island has resulted in the death of the whole crew (except himself) and revealed dramatic new information about Kong's origins, his role on the island and how Skull Island had evolved since his father's "visit".

2014, THE BATTLE OF SAN FRANCISCO: The existence of superspecies is revealed to the world as Godzilla clashes with two M.U.T.O.s in the center of San Francisco. Unleashing devastation upon the urban center, the world watches as Godzilla defends our world and restores balance to the natural order. The time has come for Monarch to step out of the shadows.

2016, MONSTER ZERO: An extraordinary superspecies is discovered beneath the Antarctic ice. Monarch, led by Vivienne Graham, built a containment and research facility in Antarctica around the dormant creature. Her classified field notes contain a mysterious footnote: "The Devil has three heads."

2019 - MONARCH THREAT ASSESSMENT: CONFLICT INEVITABLE — LET THEM FIGHT!

2020 - MONARCH THREAT ASSESSMENT: CONFLICT INEVITABLE — KONG IS NOT THE ONLY KING!

Theories that I have!

Season 3 spoilers!!!

You have been warned.

I have a few theories/ideas, so let’s jump right in.

Status of Micah, Angella, and Mara?

I don’t think Micah is dead. As far as I’m concerned, everyone in that warped reality is alive in the real world, otherwise, there’s no way we could explain how Micah was there for everyone. If he were truly dead, he wouldn’t actually be there, as the warped reality doesn’t change the past/present/future, it really just messes with it.

Also, of course, Micah goes and screams “I’m not--” but doesn’t finish, and that’s right after Angella says she can’t stay there with nothing but memories. Everything about this points to the direction that he may still be alive, but there’s no real way of telling.

I think it’s worth mentioning that a lot of other people think he is also alive, and that he is on Beast Island.

However, if Micah is still alive, well, Mara is as well.

That’s where everything gets all messed up. Mara came thousands of years before Adora, from what I remember off the top of my head. There’s no real way she’s still alive, unless she’s immortal.

The only other way she can be alive is to, well, be trapped in the same place Angella is -- inside a collapsing wormhole. (After shutting off a portal, or just getting trapped inside while going through it.) Which is likely, since they did say that she stranded Etheria, and I can only assume she bent spacetime or something of the sort, which also destroyed their portal capacities. So I can only assume, well...

I did some research on the wormhole theory, which is what the portals in SPOP are loosely based off of (as per Entrapta’s very helpful explanation in S3E6). I’ll sum it up for you, even though I am awful at explaining things.

A wormhole, simply put, is a theoretical connection between two different areas in space.

For example, if you want to travel from point A to B, and say that’s like a few light years, having a wormhole connect points A to B would make it much more efficient. If you were to peer into the wormhole from point A, you would see point B from inside the wormhole, and vice versa.

If you were to look at spacetime in a sort of 2D way, generally it’s just a long stretch, laid out throughout time, flat generally unless something is on it. Sort of like a piece of paper.

Einstein’s theory of general relativity states that time slows or quickens relative to how fast you move relative to something else. It also states that gravity can bend time.

So naturally, wherever there is an object that has a large amount of gravity, it bends spacetime, or that piece of paper.

A wormhole is created when this “piece of paper” is folded just the right way. If you were to fold that piece of paper and poke a hole through one of the areas where the paper overlaps and then unfold the paper, you’ll sort of see how the wormhole works. Rather than having to cross the entire piece of paper to get from one hole to the other, you can simply fold the paper and make travel much faster.

Gravity constantly tries to push the wormhole smaller and smaller until it’s broken. However, there is a thing that counteracts this: exotic matter. Since Adora’s sword kept the portal open and immediately after taking it out the portal collapsed in on itself, it’s safe to assume that the sword is, well, exotic matter.

It’s also possible that all of the First One’s technology is exotic matter, as Entrapta mentions the sword seems to be the strongest she’s seen.

If gravity does overtake the wormhole, it will collapse in on itself, turning into a black hole due to the significant amount of energy necessary to keep it open in the first place.

It is not confirmed, but it has been theorized that time stops in black holes.

With all this information in mind, my theory is that Mara did something to mess up spacetime so badly that they got stranded, and I think a portal was open at the time, nearly dooming the planet. (When Adora and Mara see each other, Mara’s expression screams of surprise and fear. I interpreted it as surprise from seeing someone after so long, and fear of the fact that well, the same thing happened from when she was in Etheria.) I believe she survived due to possibly the theory of time stopping within black holes, since she looks exactly the same from the hologram in the ship.

That being said, if Mara is alive, then so is Angella.

(@Noelle By the way, Angella better be back by season 6 latest or I will throw hands and fight someone. We all loved her.)

Hordak’s possible redemption arc

Second is not merely as long, haha, I promise.

So I’ve heard there’s been discourse over Hordak and having a redemption arc. I’ll give you all my two cents on this for now.

I think he will get a redemption arc.

He’s sort of the Catra in his world. He’s been cast aside by Horde Prime but is now working to prove himself again. It’s a struggle for power, and I think eventually Hordak may just pull a Shadow Weaver.

I mean, Horde Prime has conquered a lot of the universe, and has so many clones of himself. Yet, although Hordak had been at the very top, he was sent on a suicide mission due to his defect.

It’s very likely that Horde Prime will end up taking advantage of what Hordak was able to accomplish, then cast Hordak away again, if Hordak and Horde Prime are anything alike.

Oh wait, Hordak is a clone of Horde Prime. Yeah, it’ll probably happen. Hordak’s not exactly stupid, either. He’ll probably realize what he really means to Horde Prime, and then... well.

I can only imagine how furious Catra would be in this case.

Entrapta’s status and stance

Entrapta’s smart. She knows Catra manipulated her. You can see from when her smile falters when she starts saying Catra’s name.

She knows, and it’s very likely she’ll be joining the Rebellion once more.

Especially since, well, she’s probably on Beast Island. The Rebellion will probably go there at one point, for reasons unknown, only to find both Micah and Entrapta. Or only one of them.

(I’m predicting this will happen S4E1, or very early on in season 4.)

Catra’s fate

Yeah, Catra’s screwed.

Adora had long been holding back against Catra, as noted when she goes berserk and loses all reason.

Well. Adora’s no longer going to be playing Catra’s little games, and Catra knows that, as seen at the end of S3E6.

Also as mentioned, I think Catra may end up joining the true Horde, while Hordak’s version of the Horde just ends up joining with the Rebellion in order to save Etheria.

I can’t even imagine how angry she’ll be if that happens.

Madame Razz???

I can’t even come up with an adequate explanation for her. All I know is that she’s probably a First One, but how she’s alive to this day is a mystery.

If anyone has any theories, please feel free to message me!

And that’s it! Wow, this is a really long post. Hopefully you enjoyed me rambling about my random findings.

“Didn’t we just have a conversation about how you liking serial killers is weird?”

Sam rolled his eyes as he fixed his tie in the motel mirror. “I don’t like serial killers, Dean. I just…like studying them. It’s an interesting statistical anomaly that–”

“Woah there, Einstein. You start talking statistics and I’m gonna take a nap.” Dean snagged Baby’s keys from the table and looked over at Sam. “I’ll be in the car when you’re finished primping.”

“I’m not–” Sam started, but the door slammed shut, cutting him off yet again. He rolled his eyes good naturedly, just glad that Dean seemed to be in better spirits knowing that Cas was actively searching for Y/N.

They still hadn’t told Dean what Cas knew, but he seemed to appreciate their new-found enthusiasm enough to agree to check out the Omega serial killer Sam had been following in Colorado. Dean had insisted it ‘wasn’t their kind of thing,’ because monsters didn’t take their time to mutilate their victims only to steal their eyelids before moving on–that was crazy human shit–but after a few days of nagging, he gave in.

Which led to now, with both Winchesters headed up to the police station to interview the sister of a missing Omega. The missing girl fit the victim profile, but normally a body would have been found by now.

Dean was sure it was unrelated, but the sheriffs were insistent that since she was an unmated Omega, they had to treat her case as if it were related to the others.

Sam dropped into the passenger seat of the Impala just as Dean started her up. The comforting purr of Baby’s engine always lulled Dean into a sense of peace he couldn’t find anywhere, especially now that the Mark was assaulting him with new and improved spats of unrest that tested his control in new ways.

“Alright so what are we lookin’ at, Sammy?” Sam pulled up his laptop and went through the case file again.

“Well, uh, the sister’s name is Lane, and Y/N has been missing for almost a week. They found her apartment all torn up. Lane is staying in town even though she lives two hours away so she’s agreed to come in and talk to us.”

“Y/N?” Dean asked, his gut twisting at the name. Sam’s eyes flicked to Dean’s hand tightening on the steering wheel.

“Yeah,” Sam replied softly, “Dean it’s probably not–”

“Yeah I know.” Dean brushed off what he knew Sam was going to say. It probably wasn’t his Y/N. That would be too much of a coincidence, even for their crazy life. “So what else?”

__~*~__

Tex had arranged to meet the witch somewhere on the Colorado Wyoming border, and you drove non-stop to get there. You had been in contact with her through Tex’s phone, and she seemed eager to meet you despite the weirdness of your request.

After assuring her that Tex had kept you safe and given you his phone as proof that he had sent you, she texted you an address.

Another handful of suppressants and Benadryl didn’t help the swelling in your arm or the cramps occasionally rolling through your body, but you chalked it up to lack of sleep. You hadn’t gotten one wink in since killing Tex, nor had you wanted to.

There was a pull guiding you to where you needed to go, and it wouldn’t let you rest until it was satisfied. Like some kind of psychic GPS it was leading you straight to Rowena, as she’d said her name was. The strong feeling made you wonder absently if she really was a witch. If magic was real and this whole time you’d been living in a sweet bubble of normal life not knowing that the supernatural existed, what would that mean for your life? How had it found you  after twenty-odd years of boring normalcy? It all seemed too ridiculous, but then again you were certified crazy and officially a murderer but couldn’t bring yourself to care, what did you know?

Your fingers tapped on the steering wheel in time with the soft rock playing on your stereo, not a care in the world despite the growing pile of problems and  the blistered wound on your arm. You had a good feeling about this woman.

She had the answers you needed. You didn’t know, like everything these days, how or why you knew that, and the part of you that cared was slowly being replaced by the beast that had been shredding away all sense of who you were.

__~*~__

When Sam and Dean arrived at the station there was a small group of people waiting for them.

Three officers and two doctors were crowded around a crying woman Sam could only guess was Lane. The closer they got to the group, the stiffer Dean’s body went. Sam scented the air, but nothing seemed amiss despite the stomach churning mix of smells that accompanied places like this.

“Hello,” Sam said as the group glanced up, finally noticing their presence. The male doctor looked visibly uncomfortable as the Winchesters stepped close enough for their scent to carry. The female doctor, however, looked ravenous. Sam raised an eyebrow at Dean, who was glaring openly, and without reason, at the male doctor. “We’re Agents Allman and Betts,” they flashed their badges before stuffing them back into their jackets, “We’re looking for an Officer Bishop?”

A sturdy looking officer stepped forward, removing his arm from around the crying woman. “That’s me.” He reached his hand out and Sam shook it, Dean seemed lost in his own world and missed the hand offered to him, looking as though he was trying to solve a particularly aggravating puzzle. Sam cleared his throat and Dean shook himself out of it, glancing suspiciously around the group.

“Are you Lane?” He managed to ask gently towards the only obvious civilian. She nodded, appearing to collect herself and step forward.

“Yes. T-Thank you for coming.”

“It’s not a problem Ma’am, we’re here to help.” Sam tried to smile reassuringly, and started to speak but he was cut off by the female doctor.

“Is there a reason the FBI stepped into this? Is it because you’ve read Y/N’s file? Because I didn’t authorize—”

“Woah woah woah,” Dean said quickly, shutting down her rant. “You mind telling us who you are? Actually, I’m gonna need each of you to provide identification before we discuss any specifics of the case.”

“And…” Sam glanced around, noticing the rising interest in their gathering. “We’re going to need somewhere more private. I think Lane here has had enough being ogled for one day.”

Bishop hopped into action, ushering everyone towards a back room with two couches. Sam let Dean, Bishop and Lane enter before stopping the two doctors and other three officers from going any further. He shut the door, separating the two groups. The officers took the hint and left, leaving only the doctors.

“Excuse me what do you think you’re doing?” the male doctor demanded.

“I need IDs. From both of you.”

“My name is Doctor Mara, and this is my colleague Doctor Cameron,” offered the female with a sultry smile. She produced her ID and piqued an eyebrow at the man beside her until he did the same. “I was the head of Y/N’s medical team while she was in our facility.”

“Your facility?”

“Yes, a psychiatric facility. With Y/N being a missing person of questionable mental integrity Lane called us in, hoping we could provide some help. I’m afraid, however, that a warrant will be necessary for you to access her files.”

She smelled like too-strong cinnamon as she stepped into Sam’s space. It was a seemingly innocent movement, but Sam knew she was trying to bully their way into the room behind him. Doctor Mara seemed like the kind of woman who was used to getting her way.

“Well Doctor, the warrant isn’t necessary in an active missing persons case because of relevant information that might lead to the victim’s whereabouts. I’m guessing you have the file on you or you wouldn’t have brought it up, so how about we cut the crap and you tell me what’s going on here? Since when do contracted psychiatrists make house calls to family members?”

“Y/N is a special case,” Doctor Cameron spat. He had decided he didn’t like the FBI Agents the second he scented them. The way they carried themselves and the way the shorter one smelled rankled him. He reeked of gunpowder and old leather–a combination that had been intolerable since Y/N had almost killed him.

Their attitudes didn’t help. Like all Federal Agents they thought they owned every piece of ground they walked on, he could see it plain as day.

“A special case?” Sam asked, waiting patiently and making it obvious they wouldn’t be going any further until they told him something worth knowing.

__~*~__

“Knowledge? Dearie, I know everything worth knowing.” The red-headed woman with the thick Scottish accent was beautiful as she sipped her wine, looking other-worldly. You felt mildly self conscious sat at the same table, but mostly you were curious about her.

How did someone so gorgeous know someone like Tex?

“Then you can help me find them?”

Rowena grimaced. Perpetually, the fucking Winchesters were a pain in her ass. Even hundreds of miles away she couldn’t escape them.

“Why d’you want the Winchesters? I can teach you everything you need to know. I can feel the magic wafting off of you, dear. You shouldn’t want them for anything. What is it? A spell?” Her eyebrow arched perfectly as you stared blankly at her, unsure of what to say. “For your heat, dearie. Doesn’t take a witch to smell that too.”

“You can do that? Take it away?” You voice lowered excitedly as you surveyed the room suspiciously, missing her comment about your magic.

“Of course! Didn’t Tex tell you who I am?” She seemed slightly offended, but you shrugged.

“No…I mean, nothing other than you being the most powerful witch he’d ever met.” He hadn’t said that, but you had a feeling it was something she liked hearing.

“Well,” she gushed, feigning bashfulness, “he wasn’t lying there. I can do just about anything you need.” Rowena contemplated you for a moment before reaching some kind of decision. “Give me your hand.” She held hers out across the table, smiling encouragingly for you to do the same.

When you slid your arms across, your sleeve rolled up, revealing the rash on your arm. You didn’t miss the widening of her eyes as she spotted it, and you quickly covered it back up.

“No no no, love. Let me see.” Rowena caught your arm, her delicate fingers clasping you with a strength her petite frame hid well. You hissed when the fabric brushed against the raw flesh as she gently rolled your sleeve up. “Oh my,” she mused, taking in the oddly shaped blister on your arm.

It was raw and red, seeping where spots had popped. There were tinges of black beginning to vein out around the edges which usually meant infection…but you were sure that wasn’t the case here.

You could practically see the gears turning in her head as she examined you. The warmth of her touch was soothing and discomforting at once.

Rowena knew more about you than you could ever imagined. She had divined your purpose right after talking to you for the first time and now, after touching you and the vicious curse on your arm, she understood your predicament fully.

Dean Winchester’s Omega had the Mark of Cain, just like her Alpha. It was an interesting development, one that Rowena knew she should be working in her favor, but she found herself feeling bad for you. She could see the black ooze overtaking your aura, smell the curse on you as surely as she could smell your heat, even with her Beta nose.

The power emanating from you had her wondering just how someone could acquire a curse in the way you had. Your personality was hidden under layers of desperation she didn’t think even you could see any longer, but she could tell you were an innocent buried under the blanket of evil the Mark had thrown over you.

She wanted to help, but as of yet the Winchesters were her enemies, and no matter how much she liked you, pride wouldn’t let her. Better to let the pains in her ass have a pain of their own.

“What?” You asked, suddenly worried as something flickered in her eyes. It was the first real emotion you’d felt since leaving Tex.

“Oh it’s nothing. Just…” her well manicured nails ghosted across your palm and she closed her eyes, feeling the magic there. “I can feel him. Your mate.”

You snatched your hand back, astounded. Maybe she really was magic after all.

“How do you know about Dean?” You hissed. Her smile was patient.

“Your body told me. And the magic. He is the source of it.” Her smile formed into something more sinister as she continued, taking in your shock. “He’s there you know. I saw him when I touched your mark. He’s at your home, standing in your living room as we speak.”

__~*~__

Dean stared at the file, fighting the urge to vomit. Sam had strong-armed the doctors into giving up Y/N’s file while Dean had interviewed Lane. She hadn’t been able to offer much besides Y/N suffering from nightmares, being committed, and the strange turn of her personality. None of it seemed relevant to the serial killer, but his gut was telling him something he couldn’t understand.

The file was thicker than any patient file either brother had ever seen, and contained more than just the pictures Dean couldn’t tear his eyes away from. It was a record of everything Y/N had said while interred, every procedure and every move she’d made, but Dean hadn’t made it past the pictures.

It was her.

She looked like shit in the first one, dark bags under her eyes, hair ratty and unkempt, her body swallowed up by an unflattering patient’s uniform. In the other she was smiling wide for the camera, lit up eyes sparkling out at him under perfectly styled hair. His finger traced longingly down the center of her happy face, wondering if being connected to him had done this to her.

“Dean? What’s going on?” Sam closed the door, leaving Officer Bishop to lead Lane to his car for the trip back to her hotel. Sam didn’t like the look on Dean’s face, at all.

“Sammy…” Dean started, his voice cracking as he laid the folder flat so they both could see. “It’s her…It’s…this is her.”

New panic was taking him over as he realized how close they had been, and now she was ripped from his grasp. “God Sammy, what if she’s…” he broke off, voice cracking and unable to form the words.

Sam wanted to object, but the pure emotion and certainty on Dean’s face stopped him.

Looked like his hunter senses had been more on point then expected.

“Are you sure?”

“Yes.” Dean removed the pictures and handed Sam the file. There was one photo remaining Dean hadn’t seen, and Sam slipped it to the back of the pile before he could dwell too long on it.

The last thing he needed was to analyze the familiar looking rash.

The most recent files were on the top, and it only took three pages for Sam’s stomach to finish dropping to his feet. He swallowed thickly as he read the lines she had babbled while unconscious.

They were transcripts of Y/N’s last, and apparently most intense, episode. Behind those were the transcripts of her hypnosis session with…Doctor Cameron.

Sam’s head snapped towards the door, eyes narrowing as he tried to put all the pieces together. When he looked back at Dean, his brother hadn’t moved, still entranced in the glassy eyes staring up at him from the lifeless photo paper.

Turns out it was their kind of thing after all, and it was time to call Castiel.

__

Dean had Y/N’s picture safely tucked into his jacket the minute Castiel had convinced him to move from his stupor. Cops had watched warily as the terrifying Agent stomped his way through the precinct and slammed his way out the door, Castiel in tow. Sam had waved apologetically, hoping they wouldn’t attract too much more attention.

The ride was awkwardly silent.

Castiel revealed Y/N’s prayers and the life he thought she’d taken once they’d gotten into the car and Dean hadn’t said a word since. Dean’s pounding heart practically filled the empty space as he raced to the address they’d been given. Sam’s stomach felt like it had pushed up into his chest as Dean took a few rough corners, but he wisely kept his mouth shut.

“Dean…”

“Shut up Cas.” Dean’s tone was shaky, but firm. No words would suffice now that he knew the truth of what Castiel had seen.

Dean was furious at both of them for so many reasons. A week. She’d been missing for a week. If they hadn’t searched so hard for Cain they might have found her before this.

As if sensing Dean’s thoughts, Sam’s were running along the same line. His guilt was compounding with every word he read from Y/N’s file. He turned another page.

From the looks of it, she’d been suffering a breakdown since Dean had taken on the Mark.

In the silence, all they could do was think. All they could do was ponder their mistakes and every sign they’d ignored.

Every time they’d brushed Dean off in favor of curing the Mark. They’d told themselves it was for Dean. It was for the greater good.

As Sam handed Cas the file, open to the pages where she had directly quoted Dean while he was being cured, he knew it was a lie.

__

Dean was tapping her song onto the steering wheel as he glared at Y/N’s apartment building. Sam had cleared his throat twice, but nothing was pulling Dean out of the car until he was ready.

Castiel had a habit of not realizing awkward situations, but this one was unavoidable. He knew finding Cain had been the right thing, but it didn’t feel like it at the moment. He exchanged a loaded glance with Sam in the rearview mirror that felt endless, their shared guilt simultaneously connecting them and separating them from Dean.

Then the driver door was flung open and Dean was gone. He was on the landing by the time Sam and Castiel entered the building, his head dropped against the door and eyes tightly closed as he inhaled the scent of death seeping thick though it.

Sam and Castiel smelled it too, and wondered what the police could have missed that was causing it. Dean’s hand hovered over the doorknob before he shoved it open, taking the crime scene tape with him when he stepped inside.

The smell of her was faint, it was obvious she hadn’t been there in a while, but it still smelled just like he expected–minus the rotting flesh somewhere in the apartment. His experienced eyes searched everything from the blood stains under his feet to the vomit stains by the couch.

The room was a disaster unlike anything he’d seen, but some part of him knew there hadn’t been a struggle. She’d done this herself.

His connection to her was singeing his arm, digging in and giving him flashes of emotion that came and went, flitting about like a hummingbird in search of nectar. His eyes followed the line of destruction until they found the room he was searching for. The one that contained her scent stronger than any other.

His feet were moving before he told them to, carrying him into what he discovered was her bedroom. Castiel and Sam hovered in the entryway surveying the damage as Dean had, but not seeing the pattern Dean had followed. Dean had no care for them as he stood just inside her door with his eyes closed, letting his nose and the Mark lead the way. He could hear them moving around despite the carpet muffling their steps.

“Get out!” He yelled suddenly. The feel of them inside her space was too much combined with the scent of Y/N, death, and the dozens of people that had traipsed through collecting evidence. Dean heard them stop then shuffle out the door. He waited until he heard the click before he really started searching.

The idiot officers couldn’t have used their noses because the scent of rot was strongest here. The knot headed alphas probably only scented her panty drawer, while the Betas probably hadn’t smelled anything besides the rotting flesh somewhere in the apartment.

Everyone was operating on the assumption that her body was hidden somewhere inside the apartment from the smell, but Dean’s instincts were telling him different. There was something dead, but it wasn’t his Omega.

The song playing in his head was evidence enough of that, but it didn’t mean she hadn’t been taken. Maybe the man she’d killed was the one who’d taken her…maybe she was on her way home.

Dean didn’t need to open any drawers considering they were all on the floor already. All but one.

His Alpha raged at seeing her panty drawer placed on the bed, two familiar Alpha scents lingering around it. They’d been at the police station.

There was only red as he grabbed the wooden drawer and slammed it into the wall. His chest heaved with the effort as he tried to control himself, forcing himself to remember that they hadn’t actually touched her. That crime was reserved for someone else. Someone who was possibly dead, and if they weren’t…they would be.

The Mark amplified his anger, but he was dealing with it better than anyone else would have. He caught a whiff of the death through the disturbed air and followed it to where the drawer had shattered against the wall.

Almost absently he grabbed a pair of her panties, barely a scrap of fabric, and tucked it into his pocket before moving the broken pieces of wood. Underneath, a small pile of books had been tossed just as carelessly as everything else around him.

“Sam!” He called, knowing they would come.

Everything in him knew what he was about to find, but he couldn’t believe it until he pulled the Bible from the bottom of the pile.

Dean almost gagged as his hand touched it, violent visions of sticking knives into innocent Omegas assaulting him.

“Dean?” Sam called from the doorway, knowing better than to step inside. His nose rankled as Dean crossed the room with the Holy book in hand. Castiel arrived just as Dean opened it to pages that were bulging the book out at the center.

The three men stared, disbelieving, at the Bible in Dean’s hands.

Castiel covered his mouth as realization set in, his eyes taking in the multitude of emotion the brothers were expressing.

Pressed between the pages, rotting, slick and wet, staining the pages black, were eight sets of dismembered eyelids.

Happy Earth Day!

Just some stats on how veganism/reducing animal product consumption saves the planet's resources. Every animal product (even eggs/dairy) is produced with cruelty and with environmental detriment, but if you feel you can't give up a certain animal product, then go vegan except for that animal product. Do what you can! Not everyone can go vegan completely overnight!

Here are some good resources on why you should go vegan: (1) Farm to Fridge by Mercy for Animals: What We Do to Them (How We Kill Them) - ***If you watch anything, please watch this one.

(2) Gary Yourofsky's The Most Important Speech You Will Ever Hear

(3) "Humane" and "Free-Range" Myth -http://www.humanemyth.org/

(4) Debunking The Milk Myth: Why Milk Is Bad For You And Your Bones -https://saveourbones.com/osteoporosis-milk-myth/ (5) Earthlings-Animal Agriculture Documentary

Don't support what you can't watch.

Here are some stats on the toll that animal agriculture has on this planet. Behind every meat, dairy, and egg product, an animal must be provided food, water, and land until they are of age for slaughter. This creates an incredible waste of resources that could be invested in plant agriculture that creates exponentially more food than the animal industry.

-->Veganism can solve world hunger. Factory farming has far-reaching repercussions for people around the world, especially those living in extreme poverty.

By cutting meat out of our diets, we can help not only the billions of animals killed each year for food, but also the 842 million people who do not have enough to eat.

How? Consider this: It takes 16 pounds of grain to produce just one pound of beef. If that grain were fed to people instead of cows, there’d be a whole lot more mouths we could feed.

Advertising : what everyone needs to know Mara Einstein 3000. That’s the number of marketing messages the average American confronts on a daily basis from TV commercials, magazine and newspaper print ads, radio commercials, pop-up ads on gaming apps, pre-roll ads on YouTube videos, and native advertising on mobile news apps. These commercial messages are so pervasive that we cannot help but be…
