Sam’s never beaten his brother in a physical fight in twenty-five years. He’s run rings around Dean with words, but fists against fists, knives, staffs—he’s always lost, even when Dean wasn’t trying. He’s put Dean in the dirt a handful of times, but Dean still took him down, too, and then finished the fight with ease.

“Do you have what it takes?” Ruby asks. “He can’t stop us, Sam. You know that. It’s best for everyone if he just…”

“Shut up,” Sam says. He stares down at Dean, in one of his rare naps. He hardly sleeps since he’s come back from Hell. “I don’t exorcise them to the Pit, do I?” Dean looks weary. Sam glances up to catch Ruby’s surprised expression. “The demons,” he elaborates. “I’m not sending them back to Hell, I’m killing them.”

The knife she gave him, the knife that destroys demons, is in his hand. She wants him to kill Dean. For the good of the world, because he’ll try to stop them.

It’ll prove he means it, wants to take out all of Hell’s top pier if he can kill Dean. What Dean did in Hell… he’s not Dean anymore.

Except that he’s never been Dean more. Dean’s a survivor. He always has been.

“Sam,” Ruby hisses. “Your army won’t follow you if don’t kill him. You know that.”

Sam’s never once been able to beat Dean, except that one time he was possessed, and Dean wasn’t even fighting.

He spins and buries the knife in Ruby’s neck, watching dispassionately as she dies.

Dean’s his brother. And they’ll rule side by side, or he won’t rule at all.

Whoa, you got me scared for a moment there. Ruby thought she knew Sam, but she didn't, did she? She didn't know him at all!

The brothers before everyone else! Sam hasn't changed very much, which is a good thing.

I like how it's implied that they balance each other, each having their own "best" arena that complements the other. And I'm regarding the last line as a foreshadowing ofd "Sammessiah and his Beloved Consort", and I don't care *what* you meant! :D

Aren't they? I wish we could yank that waiter guy out of the middle and smush them up together, like they belong!

Awesome!! buh-bye Ruby =D

I love when Sammy shows his big-bro worship. I think he really does still look to Dean for how to live - how to be him - how to be a man, a hunter... the works. I love it!

You're welcome. I liked it, though reading above I gather I wasn't reading into it what you were intending. Sorry about that - I just don't like (or see any form of) incest in supernatural.

Still, I liked your story - and would love it if Sammy killed off bad actress #2 the demon! I would cheer out loud if that happened!

Awesomeness! And I truly, truly hope it happens, I am 18 different shades of over Ruby. And I was one of the few supporters.
