[ Jack has his soul back so the crushing weight of that reality is firmly on his shoulders. He won't hide from the terrible action he took and what it meant for all of them. She was the only mother he knew, she loved Jack, she took care of him too. He doesn't know if he would forgive himself in Dean's shoes (he would, he always forgives). That is why he can't hold it against Dean either, even if it hurt more than he could say. Dean said a long time ago that people deserve to be saved, and that Jack didn't. At the time, they were new to each other, but maybe he'll always think that. ]
I thought if I could just stop Chuck, I could prove to him that I'm worthy again. I can't do that as long as I'm here.
[ He can't kill Chuck and save the world from here, or at least, he thinks he can't. Honestly, Jack wouldn't be surprised if Chuck showed up just to talk at him some, he seems to really like to talk. If he does, then he'll have a chance. He realizes that saying that much puts Rowena in a place between him and Dean, which wasn't his intention. If anything he's saying how much Dean means to him, what he's willing to do to earn his love again. ]
We're both capable of opening portals to other worlds. I feel like if anyone can make it happen, it would be us, Rowena.
[ She held one open for them, Jack created it in the first place. They have more capability than most people, even the Winchesters, who relied on their skills to get it done the last time. So surely together they can make something happen. He glances over at her and smiles shyly. ]
We don't usually get to talk so much. I like this.
[ She's so smart and powerful, he could definitely learn important things from her, and Jack is a sponge, he loves to learn. He doesn't get to have extended conversations with most people outside of his family. He was dead by the time Rowena spent her last time alive. The idea that they could bond a little bit while they wait to go back, that sounds like an upside of the situation. He could use a positive note. ]
We need to stay together. We'll protect each other.
