.
He’d spent the last three months of high-school preparing for the mock trial, and she turned it into a joke, completely invalidating due process—and the judge catered to her. If he had tried that, he’d have probably been held in contempt of court.
Of course, he lost. Three months of work, turned moot because she had more presence than he did. Because she was charismatic.
Hell, maybe even because her father played golf with the judge a few weekends a month, who knew.
But he watched as they congratulated her, commended her—and knew that life truly wasn’t fair

Notes: I wrote this the Friday after 4.9 aired.
“Hiya, Ruby.”
She raises an eyebrow. “What do you want, Dean?”
“So, I got to thinking,” he says, slowly circling her. She turns in place to follow him, knowing she can leave anytime. It gives her a measure of comfort. “I owe you for saving Sam, keeping him alive.” He spins on his heel to glare at her. “But you fucked him. You got him at the most vulnerable time of his life.”
Ruby scoffs. “I helped him when you were gone, that’s all.”
He laughs. “You love him.” Dean cants his head to the side, studying her, and her meatsuit shivers. “He’ll never love you. And I wonder…” He bites his lip, anger in his eyes. “If I told him what you did in Hell, how do you think he’d react?”
She freezes in place, staring at him in horror. “You know?” she whispers, fear tumbling through her, telling her to flee before it’s too late.
His smile is completely humorless. “I remember everything.” He steps forward, hand outstretched.
Ruby tries to lunge back but can’t move.
“I always wondered,” he says, “how demons got their powers. After you told me they’d been human, I started thinking.” His eyes are sharp, his gaze biting. “I’m too young to be much of a threat to the old ones, to Lilith and Alistair and their generation.” His tongue fumbles on the second name and Ruby shudders. She remembers well that demon. “But you?”
She gasps, hands going to her throat as the body starts convulsing. “It’s in the blood, Ruby.” His face is emotionless as she falls to the meatsuit’s knees. “You helped Sam unlock his.”
“Please,” she gasps. “He still needs me.” It hurts worse than when Lilith cast her out, burns and sears. “I can still help!”
He laughs coldly. “You helped unlock his demon-given abilities, Jane,” he hisses, her human name a slur. “But mine were torn wide open in Hell.”
Awareness is leaving her. She had told Sam he was exorcising them back to the Pit. But that was just one of a dozen lies.
“Please,” she gasps again. “Dean.”
“Hush, sweetheart,” he murmurs, one hand brushing hair off her face as he kneels next to her. “You did well, caring for Sammy till I came back. But I’m here now, amped up and fully charged. He’s got no more use for you.”
Her true form billows out of the girl’s mouth and she feels pieces of her dying. The last thing she sees is Dean’s eyes, hazel bleeding to golden.

Notes: the title is a reference to the commentary of X2
I have survived hatred, young Pyro, and I do what I do so that your children will not live in fear.
His skin is calloused, rough against your face, his hand cupping your cheek.
I will not let such a horrific thing happen again, and I need your help.
His lips press against your forehead. You can’t remember anyone ever kissing you so gently, so loving, before.
Will you help me, Pyro? We can save our people, if we work together.
You smile up at him, the greatest mutant in the world, the most powerful man you’ve ever known, and know he loves you. He needs you; he chose you.
Of course, Magneto, you answer. Anything.
He smiles and softly kisses your lips.
Title: parasitical tendencies

Notes: I haven't seen any of seasons 2 or 3. I started this drabble sometime over the summer.
They’re all tangled up inside him, interconnected strings, a web around him and through him. He’s a sponge, soaking up abilities like water—like a parasite.
He’s nothing without others, just that lost dreamer—but he could become the most powerful. He doesn’t even know if he has a limit, a point where he’s taken too many. He finds to find out, to try it all. He’s nothing without the rest, not even realizing as he copies their ability.
They are pieces of him now, facets of his being, skills he never learned yet possesses. He is just a parasite.
