He's got eyes that sing to me... remind me of childhood melodies...

Just for Bobby at the moment... others to join later...

They were in North Dakota according to the map that Alec and Dean had been looking at. There was something in the back of Sam's mind that found the town familiar. Little fireflies in his mind, wanting to guide him again.

Why were there fireflies in his mind? He always saw freflies, no matter where they went.

He had sat in the Impala after Dean and Alec went to bed because he was trying to figure this out when one big firefly came by the window, beckoning him to follow it. So he did, walking along the fields quickly as he tried to catch it.

When he was able to catch them, he remembered things. But the things he remembered with them would always fly away again. Out of his mind and into the wind. Not like the memories that Dean gave him.

He had a few now. Memory of a tape measure. Of a necklace. Small things and they were always of him as a kid. There were no adult memories. And Sam wondered why.

Soon, the firefly led him along the path to a junkyard. Sam could see all the magic here, trendils that wove a web in a white light. He was careful as he walked, not wanting to touch a single strand of it until he got to the door where the firefly had landed.

Sam tilted his head, reaching for the insect and wrapping his fingers around it roughly. Which on the other side of the door would sound like someone had knocked.

Bobby nodded. He sighed. "Guess between the three of us, we can handle it."

Alec shook his head. "I don't want him to need a handler. He. ." Alec didn't know how to articulate his thoughts and feeling on the matter very well. "Just because he's not human doesn't mean he needs a handler. No one needs to hold a leash on him any more than they do on me."

Bobby watched Alec a moment, wondering what that had meant. He nodded, though. "I got no intention of anything like it."

He nodded. "Good." Having a handler to Alec meant someone was telling you what to do and was on hand to manipulate you into doing it. He wanted to leave that part of his life about as far behind as he could.

Bobby nodded and set his gaze back out to the yard.
