Dad knew who you really were. A good soldier and nothing else. Daddy's blunt little instrument. Your own father didn't care whether you lived or died. Why should you?

DEAN claws and fights his way out of the ground. As his face clears, he sucks in oxygen. Drags himself out with great effort-- he's already weak, and it's tough going. Finally out, he collapses onto his back. Catching breath.
Then OVERHEAD LIGHTS EXPLODE! Raining SPARKS over DEAN, BOBBY, the whole room. They shield themselves. Then they see-- AT THE FAR END OF THE ROOM. The ENTRANCE. SWINGS OPEN by itself. Slow. Revealing-- a MAN. CASTIEL. He heads in, walking through a curtain of FALLING SPARKS. It's a hell of an entrance.

CHUCK
Well, there's only one explanation. Obviously, I'm a god. A cruel, cruel, capricious god. The things I put you through – The physical beatings alone. All for what? All for the sake of literary symmetry. I toyed with your lives, your emotions, for... entertainment.
I am so sorry. I mean, horror is one thing, but to be forced to live bad writing...

The story?

DEAN
Wait. What are you saying?

SAM
He's saying he's been playing us. This whole time. Our entire lives. Mom, Dad -- everything. This is all you because you wrote it all, right? Because -- Because what? Because we're your favorite show? Because we're part of your story? And every other bad thing we've been killing, been dying over -- (scoffs) where were you? Just sitting back and watching us suffer so we can do this over and over and over again -- fighting, losing people we love? When does it end?

No, we're done talking. 'Cause this -- this isn't just a story. It's our lives!

END OF TEASER


ACT ONE

EXT. HEAVEN - DAY

Dean sits on the front seat of the Impala, the front door open, his legs outside the vehicle and his feet resting on heaven's almost fluorescent green, lush grass. He's surrounded by open fields of endless manicured grass, stretching out as far as the eye an possibly perceive. Beyond an occasional smattering of fences and the odd gravel road, not a single other thing can be seen. The sky is cloudless and a perfect bright blue hue. There are no shrubs, no bugs, not a single tree. Dean stares directly at THE CAMERA and nods his head upwards in a gesture of acknowledgement. 

Dean
Oh, Hey.
I, sure as hell, am glad to see you.
Been a hot minute since I’ve seen anyone 'round these parts.

He raises his eyebrows expectedly for a moment, his eyes still trained directly down the lens. He scratches his head, and pulls his lips into a thin line, before popping them back out again. He is clearly feeling uneasy.

Right…

So, uh, sorry about cutting the whole, uh, trip down memory lane thing, short...

But, I figure we don’t need to do all that right now, right?
I mean, a few other things happened after that... Obviously, otherwise, I wouldn’t be here talking to you, but long story short, I died.

And ever since I’ve been runnin' 'round this place trying to find my way outta here, back down to my world.
Not as easy as I’d hoped it’d be.

He grins to himself, lost in thought.

Thought I’d found it one time, too.

Ended up in some wacked out version of reality.
Mom and Dad were there, but young… real young.
Managed to keep them safe for a while, you know, to give them a chance at a semi-normal life.

He shrugs.

As normal as it could be in that crazy-ass world…
God, that place made home look like a goddamn fairy tale.

He smiles again before licking his lips and glancing around uncomfortably.

Not much of a talker, huh?
That's okay.

He awkwardly drums his hands against his knees.

Like I said, I'm just damn happy to see someone else around here.
I figured after the whole speech I got from Jack about not interfering any more, I’d been put on time out, or whatever…
“Get around to the “there’ll be peace when you are done,” part of the song”, that’s what he’d said. 

From THE WINCHESTERS 01.13 Hey, That's No Way to Say Goodbye.  JACK--- wearing a white linen suit… then... CHUCK---  from 15.19 Inherit the Earth... also wearing a white linen suit.

Swallowing hard, his eyes darting wildly as they come back into focus.

Dean

What the hell was that?

He slowly stands up out of the IMPALA'S driver's seat and ducks and weaves around, as if looking for some sort of sign of something, before his gaze slowly lands back down THE CAMERA lens.

Was-- Did you do that?

He slowly nods again as he cautiously lowers himself back down into his seat, as if trying not to make any sudden movements.

Huh.

So, I guess you do talk after all, just less, “drunken chat after 3 am”, and more “Pink elephant, bad acid trip”.

Well, uhh, nice to meet you I guess?

Not to sound like a dick, but what’s with the visions of God's family tree? 

From THE WINCHESTERS 01.13 Hey, That's No Way to Say Goodbye JACK--- wearing a white linen suit… then CHUCK---  from 15.19 Inherit the Earth wearing an identical outfit.

Dean scrunches his face up.

Dean

The suit? You want me to pay attention to--- you’re not trying to--- 

He laughs humorlessly, then scrubs a hand across his mouth.

Okay, yeah, sure, look, no offence or anything, I get that I don’t really understand how this works, but there ain’t no way you're tryin’ to say what I think you’re tryin’ to say.

Because if you are…

He trails off and pauses for a moment. His eyebrows, drawn as he stares at the grass just past his feet, clearly wrestling with himself internally. 

Fine, If you somehow know something about something, then you're gonna have to prove it to me a helluva lot better than that because I sure as shit---


EXT. MEN OF LETTERS BUNKER.

DEAN appears back on earth. Standing in front of the bunker. His feet, slipping slightly in the mud. He spins around manically as his breath hitches in the cold autumn air, the smell of the decaying leaves around the bunker filling his lungs, and he watches the puff of it visible in the afternoon light as he breathes out. It had been a long time since he’d felt the cold on his skin, his nose, flushing, as it starts to go numb. It feels goddamn amazing, it feels uncomfortable; real. He knew, he could only be back on earth. He could feel it in his bones... in every single cell of his entire damn body.

Dean

whispering, shakily.

What the fuck?
