We've all been called in, our whole 'Team Free Will' as Dean has dubbed us. A new hunter that Mary has been working with needs our help with a demon problem. So we've driven to meet up with them. As we pull into the parking lot diner, I spot both Cas and Mary's trucks up ahead. After Dean parks the car, we all climb out.

"Hey Mom." Sam calls out.

The woman approaches us smiling, "Sam, Dean, Avery."

Things have gotten a lot better between Mary and I since our huge fight while Sam and Dean were captured. She finally saw the real me and the amount effort I put into my relationship not only with Sam, but with her and Dean as well.

She gestures to the man beside her, "Wally. These are my sons and my future daughter in law."

He reaches forward and shakes my hand, then Sam's. Dean reaches forward and repeats the gesture, "Good to meet you. She's said a lot of good things."

"Right back at you, man." He states, pulling back from the shake, "Your Mom's real proud of you all."

At that moment, Cas comes over from his truck and Dean smiles at him, "Cas."

"Thanks for coming. I know you're busy." Mary states and Cas shakes his head disappointedly, "Well, not really."

"So, what? No luck with Lucifer's kid?" Sam asks and he shakes his head again, "No, Kelly Kline... Its like she's... just disappeared."

"Lucifer's kid. That's a joke, right? The... it's not a joke." Wally trails off dumbfounded.

"All right ramblers, let's get rambling." Dean says, leading way into the diner. As we walk along, I hear Wally muttering behind them, "Lucifer has a kid?"

We're seated at a diner, the waitress standing there ready to take our order. Dean lowers his menu and looks at the woman, "Mandy? Is that short for Amanda?"

"Duh." She mutters, not in the mood for his flirting. He is taken aback, "Yeah, I'll go- I'll go with the cheeseburger."

"Oh yeah." Wally pipes up and Sam asks, "Hey, what's the wifi password here?"

"Extra cheese." She states and Dean grabs his coffee to drink, "No, no. Just, uh, as it is, is fine."

"That's the password. 'Extra cheese.'" She mutters, clearly annoyed,

"You know what? That sounds good. I'm gonna change mine to a cheeseburger as well. Extra cheese. I wanna carbo-load." Wally declares.

"Cheese isn't a carbohydrate." Mandy and Cas state at the same time, which earns a smirk from the woman to the angel.

"Steak and eggs. Bloody." Mary worded and she scribbles it down before smiling at Cas, "And what about you, handsome?"

"What?" Wally chuckles, and all of our eyes turn to Cas. He looks at her flustered before turning down to the menu quickly, "Um... uh... Sunrise special, please."

She grins broadly at him, "Nice. 

She walks away after a lingering stare and Dean leans forward in his chair, "Oh, dude. She is into you."
