EZRA
Ezra couldn't believe that his father called him weak. Sure, they were both angry with each other, but he wanted to show his dad what he could do. Ezra walked back into the room and approached Cyd and Shelby's table. After he passed Barry's test, Ezra took a seat at the same time Cyd and Shelby disappeared and reappeared. Now that he was part of their group, Ezra started getting out of his shell.
"So... where are you from?" Shelby asked. Ezra narrowed his eyes, unsure about what to say. Ezra tried his best to explain.
"Lebanon Kansas," Ezra said. "My cousin and I grew up there."
"Would your cousin have bronde hair?" Cyd asked.
"Yeah? How did you know?" Ezra asked.
"Lucky guess," Shelby Said.
"Yeah," Ezra said. "Her name is Mary," Cyd and Shelby looked at each, then turned back to Ezra.
"You should join us at our crib," Shelby said. "I'm sure you and Barry would get along just fine," Ezra smiled softly, but he noticed how annoyed Barry was getting and figured it would be fun to mess with him.
"Sounds like a blast," Ezra said instantly.

After school, Ezra and the rest of the group arrived in Shelby's backyard. There was a hot tub that sat directly behind Shelby's house. Across from her house was a storage building, but it doubled as a clubhouse. Ezra remained quiet as the group walked in. THe minute Ezra looked around, he couldn't help but notice that there was a chemistry set on a nearby table and an organized closet.
"Welcome to our crib!" Cyd exclaimed.
"Well, technically, this is Barry's Science lab, but we like to hang out here," Shelby chimed in.
"I see you have an eye for my beakers all purchased from a local college," Barry said. Ezra rolled his eyes and laughed at Barry.
"Actually," Ezra said. "I was looking at the concentrated wolf hormones and, for the record, you talk too much." Barry closed his mouth, not expected Ezra to tell him to keep quiet.
"Barry," Cyd said. "Can we talk to Ezra alone?"
"What do you mean?" Naldo said. "We could stay here and hang out,"
"Yeah, i will not step out of my lab, just so you can talk to him," Cyd and Shelby rolled their eyes and dragged Ezra outside. Knowing that Ezra would be confused, the girls reassured him that nothing bad was going to happen. They only wanted to know who he really was.
"Hey buddy," Shelby said. "Can we ask you something?"
"Depends on what it is," Ezra said. However, he knew the girls wanted answers about who he was and why he was in Portland. He wasn't that stupid. Somehow, he had to get the girls away from the truth.
"I already told you...." Ezra started.
"You told us you and your dad moved here," Shelby responded.
"Tell the truth, bub! Who are you and where did you come from?!" Cyd exclaimed.
"You know you're cute when you talk like that," Ezra said, attempting to change the subject. Cyd freaked out, but quickly cleared her throat before turning back to Ezra. Knowing that he had little a choice, Ezra remained quiet. He clenched his fists, fixed his brown hair, and looked back at Cyd and Shelby.
"Okay fine," Ezra said. "I'll tell you the truth, but promise me that your friends won't know."
"Don't worry, our lips are sealed," Cyd said.
"My full name is Ezra Allen Winchester, my father's name is Dean Winchester," he continued. "We traveled to Portland, Oregon because of the attacks on the surrounding people," Ezra explained. "My dad and I, we're hunters. We fight and defend people from monster attacks."
"What's here?" Shelby asked.
"We think it's a werewolf," Ezra responded. "We just don't know who it is,"
"And your dad?" Shelby asked.
"My dad did a stupid thing. It tore our relationship apart," Ezra answered. "For the record, I know you guy's time traveled."
"What?" the girls said at once. "What makes you say that?" Ezra crossed his arms showing that he knew everything, but leaned against the hot tub, waiting for the girls to explain the situation. Cyd laughed nervously since it was hard to come up with an explanation. It took a few minutes, but the girls finally caved in.
"Yes, we are time travelers and we traveled back to a weird time. You were there, and you were fighting your father and this other guy...." Shelby was talking a hundred miles an hour, causing Ezra to hold up his hands.
"You know my story about what happened then," Ezra said. "But here's the thing, my dad said yes to an archangel named Michael and I've had to wound him because of that," while Cyd always showed her tough and edgy part of her really felt for the guy.
"Ezra, don't you see?" Shelby said, placing a hand on Ezra's shoulder.
"Don't touch my shoulder," Ezra warned, forcing Shelby to step away from him. "I don't want to talk about it," Ezra attempted to walk away but Cyd called out to him, forcing him to stop in place.
"Ezra, your father only said yes to this Archangel because he wanted to protect you and your mother," Cyd called out and chased after him. She didn't quite care that Ezra didn't want to be touched. She grabbed him by the arm and forced him to turn around. "Your mother was being killed, coughing up blood, and when he said yes, he knew he was going to protect his family," she continued. "Sure you don't like the fact that you had to fight him, but you didn't hurt him or kill him, you only wounded him," she kept going "Take it from someone who barely sees her parents, you have something going on, you have a father who cares about you, you also have special powers, powers that a normal person would dream of."
"Yeah," Shelby agreed. "Don't hold a grudge for your life, you need to let it go, and repair this riffed that's come between you,"
