Ch 4 Time Travel Shenanigans

After Will stared at the key for a while, thinking of all the things he could do now with access to THE bunker, he finally noticed the one other thing in the box: a folded paper. Picking it up and reading its contents, a dumbfounded expression appeared on his face. It said:

"Hello, my past self,

It is I, your future cooler version.

I found a way for us to have the key earlier than we normally should. And as you probably guessed, I used the knowledge of the Men of Letters to send it to my past. Obviously, I made a copy for myself before I sent it, but that is not important to you. What you need to know is that you should get all your loved ones inside as soon as possible and only let Dean, Sam, and Dad go on the occasional hunt. I can't really tell you much more as I don't want my present to change. Also, don't worry. I know this will work because I already found the key just like you did. Man, messing with time can really be confusing, even for present me.

With love, yours truly,

Cooler Future Will.

P.S. Stop going on hunts that you don't have to and learn everything you can from the Men of Letters.

Hint: maybe just save a few people in a way that will not change things drastically. ;)

P.P.S. You can also stop worrying about that Crocotta hunt. You will find the reason why later, and it's not bad, but NO spoilers.

P.P.P.S. Don't forget to empty this cave later; you will find some very useful stuff.

P.P.P.P.S Don't base your actions on the Supernaturals show plot, you will find out why later.

Ciao."

"What the fuck just happened?" Will said, still shocked from what he just read. After a few moments of taking in all the ramifications of his future self's actions, he just shrugged. "Whatever, just another thing on the list of: things that don't make any fukin' sense, Supernatural edition."

"And what do you mean, 'don't worry about the Crocotta hunt'? Can you be any more vague than that?" Will complained as he started thinking about that particular hunt.

*Flashback no jutsu*

Back when Will was around 17, he went on a hunt with his dad, and eventually, they figured it was a thing called a Crocotta.

For those who don't know what that is, a Crocotta is some kind of scavenger that mimics loved ones, whispers "come to me," lures you into the dark, and swallows your soul. At some point during the hunt, the creature managed to knock out John and tried to eat Will's soul. I say "try" because as the monster stood over Will with its mouth open, full of sharp teeth trying to swallow his soul, nothing happened. The Crocotta looked just as puzzled as Will as to why its powers didn't work. So he took advantage of the monster's momentary distraction to knock it off balance, freeing himself and picking up the big knife that was just out of his reach. After he dodged the creature's next lunge at him, he drove the knife through its back, breaking its spine and finally killing it.

*Flashback no jutsu ends*

"Man, for three years after that, I thought that I didn't have a soul, like Sam at some point in the show, and all you tell me is 'don't worry about it.' I need more details, dammit."

As Will finally got out of his musings, he took one last look at the cave full of treasure, then he headed out. After a very long drive back, Will could see the Impala parked in the driveway as he got near the house.

"Fuck, they already got back. More time than I realized must have passed."

As Will got out of his car and approached the house, Sam and Dean got out looking mad.

"Will, how could you go on a hunt and not take us with you?" Sam said, more worried than mad.

"Boys, calm down. I promise to take you to a very cool place if you forgive me. You will love it, trust me."

Will said to his brothers to ease their worries as he went in for a hug.
