HIGH SCHOOL

The Wraith slams Patience against the row of lockers and covers her mouth with his hand, shushing her.

"Good girl." He Says

Patience then kicks him in the groin and punches his face. She dodges his counterattacks and rips the spike from his wrist. Black blood gushes out and the Wraith screams in pain. He runs after Patience and catches her knocking them both to the ground. He sits atop her and restrains her hands. He holds up the hand with the remains of the spike.

"This hurts like hell. But don't worry, it grows back." He Says

A gunshot is heard and Dean, is seen shooting a bullet. The Wraith takes the bullet in his back and yells. He gets up and runs down the hall towards the exit. Dean runs after the Wraith and Jody hurries to where Patience is lying on the floor and helps her up.

"You okay?" Jody Asks

The Wraith grabs a mop from a bin at the end of the hallway and uses it to barricade the exit door after he leaves. Dean looks at him through the glass but the Wraith runs away before he can shoot, Dean runs back up the hallway.

"I got it, stay with her." Dean Says

Dean runs down a stairwell and through a locker room. He exits the school and looks around the parking lot he is on.

The noise of wheels is heard and Dean is held in the lights of a van that is heading straight for him. He dives out of the way and watches as the van leaves.
Dean returns to where Jody and Patience are waiting, she looks rattled.

"I lost him. Did you get a good look at him?" Dean Asks

"Yeah, uh he um, he tried to stab me with that." Patience Says

The Wraith's spike is lying on the floor, trailing black fluid. Jody picks it up and looks at Patience in surprise and admiration.

"Wait, you...? Wow." Jody Says

"Alright, well that thing might come back, so..." Dean Says

"Why?" Patience Asks

"Well, all we know is that he stalks psychics." Jody Says

"Psychics? Then what does he want with me?" Patience Asks

"What do you think?" Dean Says

"I... No, I'm not... I get déjà vu sometimes but that's normal. I'm normal." Patience Says

"Your grandmother was psychic and she sent us to protect you." Jody Says

"My grandma said she was psychic but she's a fraud. She doesn't care about me, she ditched me. Me and Dad, right after Mom died." Patience Says, Dean and Jody looks surprised.

"Okay, this woman you're describing, that walked out on her family? That's not who Missouri was at all." Dean Says

"Why do you keeping saying 'was'?" Patience Says, Jody and Dean exchange looks.

BUNKER

Sam is sitting at a table in the bunker, watching a live camera feed of Jack sitting at the table in the other room, on a laptop. He has a book, "THE DRAMA OF THE GIFTED CHILD", next to the laptop.

He opens the book and reads it in front of the laptop screen. When he moves the book, Jack has disappeared from the table where he was sitting. Sam throws the book down and hurries to the room.

"Jack? Jack! Jack!" Sam Says

Jack is not sitting at the table anymore; he is sitting on the floor in the corner of the room, hidden in the shadows and Sam notices him.

"Jack, what're you doing?" Sam Asks

"I moved the pencil." Jack Says, holding up the pencil.

"Okay, look. I know this isn't exactly fun-" Sam Says

"No, it's the opposite of fun." Jack Says

"Okay, but why is it so hard? I've seen you throw people across the room. I've been thrown across the room by you. I've seen you open a gate to hell and now nothing? It doesn't make any sense." Sam Says

"It makes sense, if I'm evil." Jack Says

"What?" Sam Says

"Just, go. Please." Jack Says

"No, Jack. Why do you think you're evil? Because when I look at you, that's not what I see." Sam Says

"Yeah well, Dean sees it. That's why he says... he said he'd kill me." Jack Says

"He what?" Sam Says

"And maybe he should. Mom said I could be good, that I had the choice to be good, that it was up to me. But she's dead, because of me. I've only been on earth for a few days and I've already hurt people. I've already done bad things, and no matter how hard I try I can't... I can't do the one good, stupid thing you want me to. So I must be evil, like Lucifer." Jack Says

"Jack, listen, Asmodeus tricking you, Dean, none of that is your fault. I think that uh, after everything that's happened you're probably scared to use your power, and me pressuring you certainly isn't helping." Sam Says

"Really?" Jack Says

"Really. What do you say we call it? Until I figure out a better way. How does that sound?" Sam Says

"It sounds... good." Jack Says

"Good, Come on." Sam Says, he offers his hand to Jack, who takes it and stands up.

"Sam, why are you being so nice to me?" Jack Asks

"Because I know what it feels like, to feel like you don't belong. To feel like there's this darkness inside of you, to be scared of who you are, what you can do. Dean, Cas, my family helped me through that. So now I want to help you, because you're not evil, Jack." Sam Says

JAMES' HOUSE

Jody and Dean are watching Patience and James talk.

"You told me she left us, but they say... Dad? Is it true?" Patience Asks

"Yes." James Says

"You said she was fake!" Patience Says

"She was! At least, I felt like she was, after. I always believed in her powers, I had total faith in them but...they were wrong." James Says

"What do you mean?" Patience Asks

"When your mother got sick, Grandma told me, she said, 'Tess will be alright.' She promised me, but then Tess... She apologized after, she said nothing's ever set in stone but I, I couldn't forgive her." James Says

"So you cut your mother out of her life?" Dean Says

"This whole time I could have had a relationship with her." Patience Says

"Growing up with her, she was always on the road, hunting! I spent my entire childhood terrified of monsters, of losing her. I didn't want that life for you, I... I didn't want her encouraging-" James Says

"Encouraging what!" Patience Says

"Grandma believed... She felt you had the gift." James Says

"Oh my god." Patience Says

"But you didn't. Baby, you don't. I mean, you're eighteen! If you had powers, we'd know it by now." James Says

"My dream, last night? I saw what happened before it happened. I-" Patience Says

"Your daughter is psychic, that's why the wraith is coming after her." Jody Says

"So we run, we can work all this out later but right now get your things, we need to go." Patience
looks at Dean and Jody, unsure. "Patience, I said now!" James Says

Patience turns and leaves to her room. She stands a few seconds and then walks to her trophy shelf. There is a framed photo of James and her on the shelf. She opens a box on the dresser and takes out a talisman which she holds in her palm, she closes her hand over it.

FLASHBACK

GRAVEYARD

A young Patience sees her grandmother Missouri and father James arguing in front of her.

"James, you can't." Missouri Says

"I can. I have to. Patience, she's... she's all I've got." James Says

"You have me!" Missouri Says

"I don't want you influencing her, poisoning her. You need to say goodbye." James Says

"James..." Missouri Says

Patience looks to her grandmother, Missouri turns and has tears in her eyes as she walks up to her granddaughter, smiling.

"Hey baby, I got something for you." She places the same talisman in Patience's hands. "I promise, no matter what happens, no matter where I go, I will always look out for you. You hear?" Missouri Says, Patience nods and she gives her a hug.

PRESENT

Patience smiles sadly as she looks at the talisman. She pulls a suitcase out from under the bed and unzips it on the bed. She opens her closet. The Wraith is in her closet, his spike extended, smiling
at her.

Downstairs Dean, Jody, and James hear Patience scream and run up the stairs to her room. There is no sign of either her or the Wraith and the window is open.

Moments later Dean is looking at footage from a traffic camera on a laptop. James sits opposite him, looking despondent while Jody is on the phone.

"Okay, thanks. You get anything from the traffic cam?" Jody Asks

"Yeah it caught the van in a light a few blocks from here but it's too blurred to get a plate. What'd the sheriff say?" Dean Says

"Well, they said they'd keep an eye out but.." Jody Says, then shrugs.

James looks at her reproachfully and he gets up suddenly and retrieves a wooden chest which he places on the table. He unlocks it with a key and opens it to reveal various paraphernalia, including a picture of Missouri and roughhewn pouch with gems in it, He closes the box and sets a map on the table.

"James?" Jody Says

"When I was a boy and my mother was out on a hunt, I got so scared. She gave me these, the thematic gems. Divination tools. She taught me how to use them so we could always find each other wherever we were." James Says

"You're, doing magic?" Dean Says

"Desperate times." James Says

WRAITH'S HIDEOUT

Patience is tied to a chair in the middle of the room, in what appears to be an abandoned house of some sort, unconscious. She wakes slowly and tries to break her bonds, looking around in fear.

"You're awake." He comes into sight, walking towards her. "You're probably wondering why I didn't drain you on the spot. See, first psychic I ever had, it was total accident. Just this guy in a mental ward, thought he was normal crazy but turns out he wasn't crazy at all. And once I got a taste... See with a psychic, it's different, it's a rush. You know, I become clearer. Everything becomes clearer, strong and focused." He Says

His spike has extended while he was talking. He walks towards Patience and crouches next to her so his spike is against her neck.

"But I gotta tell you, your grandmother was by far the best I ever had. That got me to thinking; you are made of the same stuff. Huh." He Says

The Wraith has moved to the other side of the chair. He takes a deep breath, taking in her scent.

"You're young and healthy, with you I'll really stretch this out. I'm going to feed on you and feed on you. I'm going to milk that big, beautiful brain of yours, forever." He Says

"First, gross. Second, I'm not psychic. You're wasting your time." Patience Says

The Wraith has moved away from the chair, his back to Patience.

"Well, your granny thought you were, saw it when I ate her up. But hey, guess I better make sure for myself, right? Time for a little taste test." He Says

He turns to her, his spike extended. The camera zooms into Patience's face. A noise is heard before the Wraith can attack and Dean, Jody, and James enter the room. The Wraith darts away before they can see him. Dean indicates to Jody to move to other side of the house while he takes point, James runs to Patience and starts to untie her hands.

"Patience, baby." James Says

"Dad." Patience Says

"I'm going to get you out of here, okay?" James Says

"Okay." Patience Says

Dean and Jody are sweeping the house, on the lookout the Wraith. Something breaks and James stands up looking for the source. He is impaled by the Wraith's spike in his throat. He falls to the ground, clutching his throat and The Wraith moves away.

"Dad! No, Dad!" Patience Says

Jody walks in hearing Patience's cry and The Wraith pushes her from behind and forces her arm down, stabbing her with the knife she's holding. He pulls out the knife and Jody falls lifeless to the ground.

"Jody!" Dean Says

Dean is still looking for the Wraith, he has his gun extended and walks along the length of a room, missing the hidden Wraith in one of the gaps between hanging tarps. The Wraith jumps out and holds Dean against the wall with the bloody knife against his neck.

He stabs Dean repeatedly in the stomach and throws his body to the ground. We see the three bodies again and then Patience's face at the moment before they enter the room for the first time. The previous events have been a vision.

"Time for a little taste test." He Says

The scene repeats itself as Dean, Jody and James enter the room, with Dean and Jody splitting up and James going to Patience.

"Patience, baby." James Says

"Dad?" Patience Says

"I'm going to get you out of here alright?" James Says

There is the same sound of something breaking and James stands up and Patience recalls her vision.

"Move!" Patience Says

James dodges the Wraith's attack and gets slashed on his shoulder. He falls to the floor, Jody walks in looking at him on the floor. Patience sees the vision of Jody getting stabbed and calls out to her.

"Jody, behind you!" Patience Says

Jody slashes at the Wraith who is behind her who pushes her and against a wall and tries to disarm her. She punches him in the face and he retaliates knocking her out and he takes the knife.

"Jody!" Dean Says

Dean is looking for the Wraith, his gun out just as in the vision.

"Dean!" Patience Says

The Wraith pins Dean against the wall and knocks the gun out of his hand. He pushes him and tries to stab him but Dean kicks himself free. He grabs a rope that is hanging from a column and they spar. The Wraith throws him to a table with a scythe on it which Dean grabs.

The Wraith comes at him again, swinging with the knife, and traps Dean wrestling him to the wall. He untangles himself and turns the Wraith against the wall, trapping him with the scythe and stabbing him with the knife the Wraith is still holding.

He pushes it in deeper until he falls dead. Back in the main room, James and Jody are stirring. Patience is still bound to the chair as Jody stands up as Dean walks in.

"You okay?" Dean Asks

"Uh." Jody Says

"How did you...?" Dean Says

"Guess I'm psychic." Patience Says

"Huh." Dean Says

JAMES' HOUSE

Jody and Dean are leaning against the Impala outside of Jame's house.

"The way you handled that wraith you still got it." Jody Says

"Hmm, guess so." Dean Says, Patience walks towards them coming from the house.

"Hey!" Jody Says

"You know, I said it before, but good work in there." Dean Says

"Thanks, for everything." Patience Says

"Have you given any thought to what's next?" Dean Asks

"I don't know. School is in an hour, so I guess calculus?" Patience Says

"And your gift?" Jody Says

"I talked to my dad. He thinks I should put it away. Dad says we should just get back to normal. Maybe he's right." Patience Says

"He is. This life, hunting, monsters, there's no joy in it. There's nothing but pain, horror and death. So if you get a chance at normal, you take it." Dean Says

Dean turns to the Impala and Patience moves back to her house, Jody goes after her.

"Patience, wait. I may be out of line here but you don't have to listen to him. To either of them if it's not what you really want. I had a daughter, I guess, Claire, and I asked her to stay in line, to fight who she really was because I thought it would keep her safe. It didn't work, it never does. Your gift... or maybe you're right, maybe it'll go away. But if it doesn't? You try to force it down to make someone else happy, you will only make yourself miserable. It's your choice. But if you ever need someone to talk to or someplace to go, my door is always open." Jody Says

Jody hands her a card and She and Dean enter the Impala while Patience looks after them.

______________________________

BUNKER

Sam is waiting at the table in front of a laptop. The door to the bunker opens and Dean enters, coming down the stairs.

"How was it? Uh, Jody told me about Missouri." Sam Says

"Yeah, just another day at the office. How's the kid? He go dark side yet?" Dean Asks

"Nope. He is uh, he's pretty messed up though." Sam Says, he has turned in his chair so he is facing Dean.

"You're telling me." Dean Says

"No, Dean. He's messed up because of you. Dean, you said you'd kill him." Sam Says

"It wasn't exactly like that." Dean Says

"Then how exactly was it?" Sam Asks

"I told him the truth. See, you think you can use this freak but I know how this ends and it ends bad." Dean Says

The camera pans and we see Jack outside the room, listening to the boys' conversation.

"I didn't." Sam Says

"What?" Dean Says

"I didn't 'end bad'. When I was the freak, when I was drinking demon blood." Sam Says, He stands up and moving towards Dean.

"Come on man, that's totally different." Dean Says

"Was it? Because you could've put a bullet in me. Dad told you to put a bullet in me, but you didn't! You saved me! So help me save him!" Sam Says

"You deserved to be saved, he doesn't!" Dean Says

"Yes he does, Dean, of course he does!" Sam Says, Jack is still eavesdropping outside the room.

"Look, I know you think that you can use him as some sort of an interdimensional can-opener and that's fine, but don't act like you care about him! Because you only care about what he can do for you! So if you want to pretend, that's fine! But me? I can hardly look at the kid! Because when I do all I see is everybody we've lost!" Dean Says

"Mom chose to take that shot at Lucifer and Elena chose to save her, That is not on Jack!" Sam Says

"And what about Cas?" Dean Says

"What about Cas?" Sam Says

"He manipulated him, he made him promises, said, 'paradise on earth' and Cas bought it and you know what that got him? It got him dead! Now you might be able to forget about that, but I can't!" Dean Says

Jack looks distressed outside the room "Castiel."
his eyes then glow gold.

BLACK SPACE

Castiel is lying on the floor, his eyes closed.

"Castiel." Jack Says

Castiel jerks awake and sits up slowly. He looks around, bewildered.
