A/N: Welcome back! Here you are with the fourth installment of my series and let me tell you it has been a great pleasure writing them. I've already written the first three chapters so far. And let's just say you better add this story to your alerts because I'm currently writing chapter four, and it's getting good. I really hope you guys enjoy this new story. Thank you once again to those who have ventured with me to this point. And here is chapter one.
The moment the words came out of Katie's mouth, she'd regretted it. In that same moment Gibbs dropped his cup and just froze.
"I shouldn't have done this" Katie thought. She looked around nervously. "Crap" She turned back to look at Gibbs.
"Gibbs, you still there?" Katie asked. The man didn't say a word. She didn't know what to expect, but driving Leroy Jethro Gibbs speechless was not one of them. Katie turned and closed her eyes. " I hope this works" And then suddenly she hears the clunking of feet hitting the floor. She opens her eyes and gives a lopsided smile to her mother. "Hey"
"Katie?" Elizabeth says. "What is going on, everybody's freaking out about this whole…" Elizabeth turned and finally notices Gibbs. "Lee?" Gibbs still hadn't moved or said a word. "What's wrong with him?"
"I told him" Katie replied and Elizabeth turned to her. "It's not my fault, I was just plopped here and then he walked through the door, and I figured it was time"
"You figured it was time?" Elizabeth asked. "You had no right!"
"No, you had no right to keep this from him!" Katie snapped back, standing to her feet. "Right now, we're going to need all the help we can get, I think that's why he was supposed to know, I think he's supposed to help"
"No" Elizabeth shook her head. "He's supposed to stay out of this, you think I enjoyed keeping this from him, but I had no other choice, it was the only way I could keep him safe, and then you just had to go and ruin that"
"Look, you can be upset with me all you want, it still doesn't change the fact that he knows and he's not taking it well, so talk to him" Katie said. " I have to go"
"So, you're just going to drop this bomb and expect me to clean it up?" Elizabeth asked.
"Well yeah pretty much, this was your secret. You have to tell him the why's and why nots of the whole thing" Katie replied. "Plus, Dean has been yelling my name for the past hour and if I don't show up I'm afraid either he or my head is going to explode" Katie stood up from her seat about to head out of the diner when she suddenly got an idea. She walked back over to the booth and Elizabeth looked up at her.
"What?" she asked.
"I have an idea" Katie replied before looking down at Gibbs and slapping him hard against the back of his head. He suddenly snapped out of his daze and glared up at her. Katie slowly backed away. "Uh, gotta go, see ya soon" Katie turned and ran out of the diner. Once outside she closed her eyes as she could still hear Dean in her head. She focused on him and before she knew it she was standing in Chuck's living room, which looked a mess. "Will you stop with the yelling" Dean looked over at her before grabbing and hugging her tightly.
"Where the hell did you go?" he asked still hugging her.
"A diner in Mexico" Katie replied. Dean pulled back and looked at her confused. "Don't ask, so what did I miss and why is your hand bleeding?
"Oh this is nothing, but me and Sam ending up on some random plane isn't" Dean replied.
"Airplane?" Katie asked before turning to Chuck. "And what happened here?"
"Archangel made Castiel go cah-bloo-ee" Chuck replied.
"What?" Katie asked. "Wait Cas can't be dead"
"I'm telling you what I saw with my own eyes" Chuck said. Katie closed her eyes and then cracked one eye open.
"Ah, crap" Katie sighed opening her eyes.
"What is it?" Dean asked.
"They're coming" Chuck said and they all turned to him. "I can feel them" Suddenly Zachariah appears, along with two other angels. Katie instinctively step forward in front of him.
"Thought we'd find you here." Zachariah said with an annoying smile, he glances down at Katie before looking between Sam and Dean. "Playtime's over, Dean. Time to come with us."
"You just keep your distance, asshat." Dean snaps pointing at the angel.
"He's not going anywhere with you" Katie says and Zach looks down at her before turning back to Dean.
"You're upset." Zachariah says and Dean glares back at him.
"Yeah. A little." Dean snaps " You sons of bitches jump-started judgment day!
"Maybe we let it happen." Zachariah replied. " We didn't start anything." The angel turned to Sam and smiled. "Right, Sammy?" Everyone of them really wanted to hit this guy in the face. "You had a chance to stop your brother, and you couldn't. So let's not quibble over who started what. Let's just say it was all our faults and move on. 'Cause like it or not it's Apocalypse Now."
"Why is that you're the only one in the room, who's excited about this" Katie snapped. "However you see it, this happened because you and your psychotic brother's and sisters"
" C'mon, pointing fingers does nothing, we have to fight and that mean's we're back on the same team again."
"Is that so?" Dean asked.
"You want to kill the devil." Zachariah states. "We want you to kill the devil its.. synergy"
"No, its crap" Katie replied. "We don't trust you, so we're not working with you"
"Oh, but dear you really don't have a choice" Zach said taking a step toward her, Dean was about to make a move when Katie held up hand for him to stop.
"I will always have the choice" Katie replied. "I think it's time you realized that"
"And I think it's time for you to realize that this isn't a game" the angel snapped. "Lucifer is powerful in ways that defy description. We need to strike now, hard and fast—before he finds his vessel."
"His vessel?" Sam asked. "Lucifer needs a meat suit?"
"He is an angel. Them's the rules." Zachariah replied. " And when he touches down, we're talking Four Horsemen, red oceans, fiery skies" A sudden headache strikes Katie and she closes her eyes as the scene of people screaming and flames filling the streets. Her eyes snap open to see a smiling Zachariah looking down at her. "It's starting isn't it?"
"What's starting?" Dean asked stepping beside Katie.
"Nothing" Katie replied. She was going to tell him the truth sooner or later, but not now, definitely not now.
"Oh, don't worry Dean's it's just the burdens of being the chosen one" Zachariah replied. "Hey you wouldn't by chance know what you've been chosen for exactly?"
"Like I would tell you" Katie snapped. "You'll find out the same time everyone else does, and I can't wait until that stupid smile is wiped off your face."
"But until then" Dean said before swinging the door to reveal the banishing sigil and slapping his hand across it causing Zachariah and the other two angels to disappear.
"Learned that from my friend Cas, you son of a bitch" Dean said and they all turned to him.
"This sucks ass." Chuck says finally speaking up.
"Yes Chuck" Katie said giving him a light tap on the shoulder. "Yes it does."
Later that evening Katie, Dean, and Sam find a room to try and hide out from the angels for a while. Katie and Dean are alone while Sam, is out getting something or other.
"Ok, I'm ready" Dean said sitting at the table cleaning his guns. "Tell me this big secret"
"You mean right now?" Katie asked walking over to him.
"Yes, right now" Dean replied. "I have a feeling I'm not going to like it so you might is well just get it over with" Katie took a seat in front of Dean.
"Ok" she sighed. "Back in LA, when I… when I died, I met with the light again" Katie replied. "And I figured the only way I was coming back was if I finally embraced it"
"Of course you did" Dean said sitting down the gun.
"Just listen ok?" Katie replied. "It told me that embracing the light, might destiny was necessary for me to save the world"
"Right" Dean said before running a hand through his head.
"So, I did it" Katie replied looking over at him trying to read his expression. "But there is a price"
"Yeah, there always is" Dean replied. "What is this time, you have to give up your powers, sacrifice a goat?"
"No" Katie sighed. She reached over and grabbed Dean's hands. And that was the moment he knew this was serious.
"What is it?" Dean asked. She felt the tear threatening to fall, but she couldn't because if she started crying she'd never be able to stop. She took a deep breath.
"Dean I have…"She knew saying this was going to be hard, but now at this moment, the look in his eyes was killing her.
"Damnit woman, just say it!" Dean snapped, and that's when a tear fell from her eye.
"Dean in order to fulfill this big destiny of mines, I gotta leave" Katie replied. "All of this behind" Dean closed his eyes and his head dropped and she looked away. She hated saying the words out loud.
"No" Dean said looking up at her. "You're not leaving me, find whoever it is I have to talk to, angel, demon hell even God but you're not leaving me" Katie jumped into his lap and Dean wrapped his arms around her as she leaned her forehead on his'. "I won't let you go"
"I love you, you know that right?" Katie asked closing her eyes. "No, matter how this all plays out, no matter what ends up happening never ever forget that I love you ok?" Dean brought her hand to the back of her head and brought her lips down to his. Suddenly the door opened revealing a very embarrassed Sam.
"Oh, Sorry" Sam said and Katie quickly wiped her eyes before hopping off of Dean's lap.
"No problem Sam" Katie said turning to look up at him. She suddenly felt a bit naueus. She looked at Sam's hand and began stepping back. "Are those?"
"Hex, bags yeah" Sam said looking over at Katie. "Wait, Oh, I forgot"
"It's ok" Katie replied. "It's really not as bad this time, where did you get those?"
"Uh, I made them" Sam replied and Katie and Dean both looked at him surprised. "Ruby taught me"
"Right" Katie said. "Hell of a teacher that one is" She looked up at Sam and immediately felt a pang of guilt. "Sorry, so how are feeling, I mean you're not still jonesing for the demon blood ,are you?"
"No, it's strange" Sam replied. "No, shakes, no fever, it's like whoever put me on that plan cleaned me right up"
"Supernatural methadone" Dean said as he began cleaning his guns again.
"Yeah, I guess" Sam replied turning back to Katie. "Where did you go?"
"Diner in the middle of the dessert" Katie replied. Sam looked at her confused before looking over at Dean who just shrugged.
"Why?" Sam asked.
"To meet my father" Katie replied.
"Why did you need to see Robert?" Dean asked turning to face her.
"I didn't" Katie sighed. " I met with my birth father"
"Your birth father?" Dean asked. "I didn't know you even knew who he was"
"I didn't" Katie replied. "Not until the whole LA, thing" She could sense Dean tense up at the mention of LA. She knew the information she'd just told him, popped up in his head.
"Well who is it?" Sam asked. "Is it Bobby, because me and Dean kind of figured it was him"
"But it would be really weird" Dean said shaking his head.
"It's not Bobby" Katie replied. "It's Gibbs" Dean turned to face her.
"Gibbs, Gibbs?" Dean asked. "As in scary, gray haired marine Gibbs?"
"The one and only" Katie replied. "I told him, he freaked so I let my mother take care of it"
"Are you ok?" Dean asked.
"Yeah, why wouldn't I be?" Katie asked.
"Well, it just seems like a lot to have taken in" Dean replied.
"It is" Katie said. "I don't think it's all hit me just yet, but I guess when it does I'll have my little freak out moment"
"Should we be worried?" Sam asked.
"Oh Sam" Katie said patting him on the shoulder. "You should be terrified" She smiled up at him before turning to the door.
"Where you going?" Dean asked and she smiled over at him.
"I just need some air, I'll be right outside" Katie said.
"Yeah, well don't go far" Dean said, Katie nodded before stepping out of their room. She closed the door behind her and let the cool night air blow past her. She couldn't help the sudden urge to scream. She couldn't stop seeing the images of the people screaming as tornado's, earthquakes and tsunami's destroyed their lives. She couldn't stop seeing them.
"Focus" Katie thought to herself as she closed her eyes and inhaled deeply. She figured the whole satan on earth thing wasn't going to bode well, but she never imagined that it would start up a whole slew of natural disasters. Suddenly she was able to push the images deep, so the urge to blow her brains out subsided. She was broken out of her thoughts by the vibrating of her phone in her pocket. She grabbed it and looked at the caller ID before placing the phone to her ear.
"Well, you're back" Katie replied. "So, how are you?"
"You mean after finding out that I have another daughter?" Gibbs asked. "Well I'm good and you" Katie rolled her eyes at his saracasm.
"Look I'm sorry, you had to find out like that" Katie replied. "But I guess there is no right way to say 'hey, I'm you daughter'"
"I'm glad you told me" Gibbs replied. "But you, shouldn't have had to. Your mother should have"
"She thought she was protecting you" Katie said.
"Well I don't need protecting if it meant me being separated from my…" Gibbs shook his head. He still couldn't believe Katie was his daughter.
"Look Gibbs I don't expect this whole parental thing from you" Katie said. "I'm an adult, and grew up with a really great father, so if it makes uncomfortable or anything, we can stick to the our current relationship as friends"
"But you're not my friend" Gibbs replied and Katie couldn't help the hurt she felt at his words. She at least thought they'd become friends. "You're my daughter, and I'm your father and that means we should get some things straight"
"Oh, really" Katie replied as she began walking toward the vending machines. "What sort of things?"
"Well I think you should know the rules" Gibbs replied and he heard Katie snort.
"Rules?" Katie said. "You just found out I'm your kid, what a couple of hours ago and there are already rules"
"Yeah, there is" Gibbs snapped. "Is that a problem?"
"Not at all" Katie said looking over the snack choices in the vending machine. Gibbs began rambling off a number of these 'rules' that Katie found herself zoning in and out of as she sat on the ground with a bag of peanuts.
"You listening to me?" Gibbs snapped.
"Yes" Katie replied as she popped another peanut in her mouth.
"Well the number one rule, never be unreachable" Gibbs said. "If I call you, you answer understand?"
"Yeah, I got it" Katie replied. "Always answer my phone, geez you sound like Dean"
"Speaking of, I 'd like to talk to him as well" Gibbs said.
"I'm not really around him right now" Katie replied. "But I'll be sure to tell him you wanted to speak to him"
"You do that" Gibbs replied. "So…uh how are you"
"You don't have to do that Gibbs" Katie replied. "We don't need to have some conversation about nothing"
"Then don't talk about nothing" Gibbs replied. "Tell me something"
"Ok" Katie sighed. "I've been having these visions, you've been watching the news, the natural disasters, well I've been given close up footage in my head"
"Why?" Gibbs asked.
"I don't know" Katie replied running her hand through her hair. "But I think I have it under control, they're not blaring in my head anymore, but it's taking a lot to keep it that way"
"Have you talked to Dean?" Gibbs asked.
"No" Katie sighed. "I think I've told Dean enough today, I'll wait a bit before dropping this on him"
"You told him?" Gibbs asked.
"Yeah" Katie replied leaning her head back against the wall and sliding down to sit. "Not a very pleasant conversation, he's refusing to accept it, I can't say I blame him, I mean I was in the same boat a year ago, I couldn't accept him leaving"
"It's not an easy thing to just accept" Gibbs replied. "I'm still trying to wrap my head around it, I mean I just found out about you and tomorrow you could just be gone"
"Don't worry Gibbs" Katie replied. "You'll be fine, all of you will"
"You underestimate to hold you have on people" Gibbs replied. "The day you leave , will be the day a lot of people lose apart of themselves"
Katie felt the lump in her throat. She didn't want to think about the people she'd been leaving. She had no idea what this accepting her destiny even meant, only that she'd have to leave her life behind. Did that mean death? Or was she going to have to go far away? With all the new and big information swimming around in her brain, those specifically were kept out.
Katie was torn from her thoughts by a car pulling up in the parking lot. A woman jumped out. The woman seemed to be talking to herself as she headed for their room.
"Uh, Gibbs, I'm going to have to call you back" Katie replied standing to her feet.
"Is something wrong?" Gibbs asked Katie watched as the woman seemed to take a couple of deep breaths as she approach the door.
"I don't know yet" Katie said. "I call you later" She hung up the phone and walked over to the woman. "Uh, excuse me, can I help you with something" The woman turned to Katie and a big smile graced her face.
"Oh. MY. GOD!" the woman squealed. "It's you, Katie. I mean the hazel eyes, the hair" the woman rambled. "And your hair is growing longer again, which I like because I wasn't liking you with short hair, I think this is more you"
"Hold up" Katie said holding her hands up to stop the woman from talking. "Who are you?"
"Oh, I'm Becky" the woman replied. "Mr. Edlund sent me with a message"
"Who, Chuck?" Katie asked and Becky nodded. "Ok" Katie turned and opened the door. Sam and Dean looked up at her then over at the unfamiliar woman in confusion.
"Princess?" Dean said standing up from the bed. "Who is this?"
"Princess?" Becky repeated. "He actually says that. You must be Dean" She said before turning to Sam. Her breath seems to hitch as she stares at him in somewhat amazement.
"You okay, lady?" Sam asks.
"Sam...is it really you?" Becky replies before walking over and placing a hand on Sam's chest. "And so firm"
"She's not bashful" Katie muttered and both Sam and Dean looked over at her.
"Uh, do I know you?" Sam asks looking down at the woman. She pulls away never breaking eye contact.
"No. But I know you. You're Sam Winchester. And you're— " She says turning to Dean, who's hand is firmly on his gun out of sight. "-not what I pictured."
"Guys this is Becky" Katie says and they both look over at her. "Apparently she has a message from Chuck"
"Yes, he's got a message" Becky says. "But he's being watch. Angels. Nice change-up to the mythology, by the way, the demon stuff was getting kind of old"
"You have no idea" Katie replies. "What's the message?"
"He had a vision. 'The Michael sword is on earth. The angels lost it.'" Becky stated. The words 'Michael's sword' seemed to play on repeat in Katie's head. She stares at the Sam and Dean and Becky who's conversation suddenly goes mute 'Michael's sword' rings through her head again. She closes her eyes tightly as a loud ringing blare in her head. When she opens her eyes, three pairs are turned to her. Katie's eyes are locked on Dean who seems to have a bright light shining around him.
"Katie" Dean says walking over and placing a hand on her back. She closes her eyes and when she opens them, the light that was surrounding him is gone. "What's wrong?"
"I don't know what that was" Katie replied looking up at Dean. "But it was weird." She turned to Becky who's hand was on Sam's chest once again.
"Um, Becky, c—uh, can you...quit touching me?" Sam asks looking down at the woman.
"No." Becky replies seriously. Katie just rolled her eyes and went over and grab the woman's hand.
"Ok, thanks Becky" Katie replied opening the door. "I'll walk you to your car"
"Uh, Bye Sam!" Becky yelled as Katie pulled her. "Call me!"
"Becky!" Katie pulled the girl to her car. "Get a hold of yourself"
"Sorry" Becky said straightening out her clothes. "He's just so-"
"I don't need to hear it" Katie said cutting the girl off. "Just get home and don't talk to anyone you don't know"
"I won't" Becky said smiling. "You can count on me, I mean if you guys ever need anything, I mean anything here" Becky reached in her car and pulled out a piece of paper and a pen and began writing her number. "Just give me a call and I'll drop everything and I'll be there"
"That really won't be necessary" Katie said taking the paper. "But thanks anyway"
"You're welcome" Becky says hoping in her car. She starts the engine and rolls down the window. "Remember if you ever need anything" Katie nods. "Oh make sure you tell Sam, if he ever needs me, I'll come running"
"I'll be sure to tell him" Katie replied. If possible the woman's smile got wider before she pulled off. Katie looked down at the piece of paper in her hand and just shook her head. She turned to go back to their room.
" In a castle, on a hill made of 42 dogs?" Dean says as Katie walks in. "What does that mean?"
"I don't know" Sam says as they turn to Katie. "Any idea?"
"Castle. Hill. 42 dogs" Katie says. "Doesn't ring any bells"
"Really?" Dean said. "Because something was going in the head of yours before, what was it?"
"I told you I don't know" Katie replied. "She said 'Michael's sword' and it just kept repeating in my head, hell I didn't hear anything else she said. She looked over at Dean. "Oh there was something else"
"What?" Dean asked.
"You were surrounded by this light" Katie replied. Dean and Sam both looked at her before Dean glanced down at himself and Sam looked over at him as well.
"I didn't see anything" Sam said.
"Neither did I" Dean replied.
"Well you wouldn't" Katie snapped. "This was all in my head, remember?" She shook her head before going to take a seat at their table. "It could be nothing, I mean there's some much going on in my head, that I wouldn't be surprised if things started getting crossed"
"What do you mean?" Dean asked. "What's going on?" Katie hadn't meant to let that little piece of information slip.
"I'm going to give Bobby a call" Sam said before leaving Katie and Dean alone in the room.
"What's going on?" Dean asked kneeling in front of Katie.
"Ok" Katie sighed. She told him of the visions she was trying so desperately to not see. His head dropped and Katie grabbed his chin and moved it so he was looking back up at her. "No, no more of that, I'm fine, I'm handling it"
"How are you handling it?" Dean asked standing to his feet towering over her. "I know you princess, and I know seeing what you're seeing must be hurting you"
"Dean" Katie said standing to her feet. "It's fine, I'm fine, I am handling it. Don't worry about me"
"Yeah, like that'll ever happen" he replied before planting a kiss on the top of her head. "Everyone wants to take you away from me, I think that warrants some worry" Katie just brought her hands around him and hugged him tightly. Katie pulled away from Dean and looked up at the ceiling. "What?"
"Someone's calling me?" Katie said.
"Who?" Dean asked.
"It's Tommy" Katie replied looking back at Dean.
"Well what does he want?" Dean asked still holding on to Katie.
"I don't know" Katie replied. "He sounds frightened, I should-" Katie stepped back but Dean kept a firm grasp on her. "What are you doing?"
"You're not leaving" Dean said and Katie looked at him. She brought her hands to the sides of his face and brought her lips to his in a gentle kiss.
"Dean, I'll be right back" Katie whispered their face merely inches apart. "I promise" He stared at her for a long moment before relinquishing his grasp on her and letting her pull away from him. "I just going to find out what's wrong and I'll be back"
"Five minutes" Dean said and Katie glared at him. "What, nothing should take longer than five minutes"
"Dean" Katie said. "I will be back soon" she kissed him on the nose and stepped back. She smiled at him and gave him a small wave before disappearing before his eyes.
Katie found herself standing in the middle of a destroyed apartment. Tables, chairs were tipped over, papers strews all over the place.
"Tommy!" Katie yelled. And she stepped over the mess. She heard the muffled noise of someone screaming. Katie slowly followed the noise to a closed door. She reached for the door knob and twisted it open to reveal Tommy, tied to a chair with his mount covered with a piece of tape. "Tommy?" he screamed through the tape and before she knew it something hit her hard in the back of her head and then there was darkness.
Images of people screaming as pieces of building fell all around them flash in Katie's mind. The screaming got louder and louder until Katie's eyes whipped open. She found herself tied to a chair staring at a still bound Tommy.
"Sorry, for the trouble" she heard a voice say. She looked up to see a man standing above her, his eyes cold black. "But we needed you out of the way to get to your hubby"
"Who are you?" Katie asked as she looked down at the witch's trap drawn below her.
"Just a demon, trying to survive" he said. "And for that to happen we need to know where that sword is"
"And you think I'm going to tell you?" Katie asked looking up at the demon.
"Well you or that husband of yours" the demon said running a finger along her jaw. Katie pulled her face away.
"You know people are tired of the same old demons" Katie said staring up at the man as the ropes that bound her began burning away. "Me, I like simple"
"How?" the demon asked backing away. "You're not supposed to… this is impossible" Katie stood to her feet and stared the demon right in the eyes.
"Oh, nothing's impossible" Katie said before reaching forward and touching the demon's forehead. She watched the lights flash in his eyes before he fell to the ground. She turned and walked toward Tommy. She removed the tape from his mouth.
"I'm sorry" Tommy said. "They said if I didn't they were going to hurt my family"
"It's fine" Katie said cutting the ropes from the man. "Are you ok?" She looked him over and noticed a few bruises and scratches.
"Yeah" Tommy replied standing to his feet. "I'm good, thanks for coming"
"Don't mention it" Katie replied. "I'm sorry about all of this, I mean it's was because of me that they came here"
"Don't" Tommy replied. "The moment we met I knew you weren't just passing through my life, and I was ok with that, so I'm in this"
"You say that as if you know what you're getting into" Katie replied. "This, was nothing compared to what's coming Tommy, so think before you sign up for something you're not prepared for"
"Look, nothing has been the same since I met you" Tommy said. "I just feel like I'm supposed to be helping you, so just let me" Katie looked at him for a moment before sighing. She picked up a piece of paper and a pen and scribble a number.
"Ok, call this guy" Katie said handing Tommy the paper. "Tell him you're a newbie and you need to know how to stay hidden, he's gonna tell you what you need to do" Tommy looked down at the paper.
"JT?" Tommy asked.
"Yeah, just tell him you know me and he should help you" Katie says.
"Thanks" Tommy replied. "Is there anything you need me to be doing?"
"No, not now" Katie replied. "Just keep your eyes open, there's going to be a lot of strange things happening soon, and knowing about all of this may help people stay alive"
"Right" Tommy nodded.
"Hey, look just stay safe and be smart" Katie said. "Never put yourself in a position you're not one hundred percent sure that you'll get out of"
"Ok" Tommy replied. Katie nodded before feeling a sharp pain in her gut. She grabbed her stomach and closed her eyes to see Bobby being stabbed. "What's happening?"
"I gotta go" Katie said before disappearing. She was standing back in their motel room. Her eyes see Bobby bleeding on the floor. She looks up to see Sam and Dean fighting with a man and woman, both demons. Katie notices the knife in the man demon's hand and quickly stretches out her hand and forces the knife out of his hand and into his gut, and out the other side into the woman demon. In a matter of minutes smoke erupts from the mouths of both demons before the bodies fall to the ground. Katie runs over to body and kneels down to him. "Bobby!" Katie leans over and grabs his wrist for a pulse. It's there but barely. Katie's eyes began to blur as the wall she's tried so hard to keep up began falling and the horrible visions begin slipping through. She stands to her feet. "He needs to get to a hospital"
"You can get us there faster" Dean said kneeling down to the old hunter.
"No" Katie said closing her eyes and bringing her hands to the side of her head. "I can't, not… there's no time to explain, just get him in the car and to the hospital!" Sam and Dean both turned and grabbed the man. Katie ran and opened the door so they could get out. Katie followed them as her head began pounding as she tried her hardest to just stand. She watched as they laid Bobby in the backseat of the impala.
"C'mon" Dean said motioning for Katie to get into the car. She didn't respond just looked at Bobby's unmoving body in the backseat of the impala as her head seemed to feel with the horrible sights of people and animals screaming and dying in pain. Dean grabbed her shoulders and tried shaking her back to reality. "Hey, look at me Princess" Katie met Dean's eyes.
"Dean, just go now!" Katie snapped. "Please, get him help" Dean looked back at her not wanting to leave, but he knew she was right. Bobby needed medical attention and soon.
"Ok" Dean growled. "But…"
"Dean, go!" Katie said. Dean looked at her for a second longer before running and getting into the impala and peeling out of the parking lot.
Katie watched the impala disappear in the distance as her head felt like it was going to explode. She grabbed at the sides of her head and shut her eyes tightly.
"Stop!" Katie yelled. "Just make it stop" She watched as men, women and children lay on the ground bleeding screaming out in agony. Tears began falling from her eyes. She had to watch, without being able to do a damn thing about it. "MAKE IT STOP!"
She felt a hand touch her shoulder and she opened her eyes to see she was no longer in the parking lot of the motel but in a basement. Gibbs was staring at her worry, clearly written all over his face.
"Please just make it stop" Katie whispered and Gibbs pulled her into a tight hug. "I can't do this, I can't" she wrapped her arms around him. She closed her eyes tightly and buried her face in his shoulder before feeling a soft whack to the back of the head. She pulled away and looked the marine in the eyes. He placed his hands on her shoulders.
"Yes you can" Gibbs said. "Look, I know I don't know much about what's happening to you, and I may not have spent much time with you, but what I've found out in this little time is that you're strong" he placed a kiss on her forehead. "You can do this" Katie closed her eyes and took a deep breath. Soon the images blurred away, and soon they were gone. She opened her eyes and smiled up at him.
"Thanks for that" Katie said. "You're actually pretty good at the whole pep talk thing"
"Well I've had lots of practice" Gibbs said.
"I have to go" Katie said and Gibbs nodded. "I'll talk to you later"
"I know" Gibbs replied going back over to work on his boat. Katie smiled before appearing outside the doors of the hospital. She ran to the front desk.
"Excuse me" Katie said getting the nurse's attention. "Was there a man, just brought in stab womb to the stomach, late fifties"
"Yes, do you know him" the nurse said standing to her feet. "Two guys brought him in, but left when I told them I needed to ask them some questions. How do you know him?"
"He's like family" Katie replied. "Is he ok?"
"He's in surgery" the nurse replied. "We won't know anything until their done. I could use your help filling out some information" the nurse went back behind the desk to grab a clip board.
Katie stands in the hall of the hospital when she suddenly feels a sharp pain in her gut once again, but this time it's different. It feels as if her insides are on fire. She falls against the wall.
"Oh my" the nurse says running over and grabbing Katie by the arm. "Are you ok?" Katie turns to her and nods.
"I'm fine" Katie pulls from the nurses grasp and turns and walks toward the doors and as soon as she's outside she closes her eyes and focus' on Dean. He's in pain.
When she opens her eyes she's standing in front of Zachariah. He looks down at her and she doesn't recognize the expression on his face. It's quite different from the look he'd given her earlier. She looks over her shoulder to see both Sam and Dean on the floor in pain surrounded by bodies, she can smell the sulfur and know they were demons. She sees Castiel standing not far from her. Everyone is quiet as if she'd interrupted their conversation. She turns back to Zachariah and looks him square in the eye. "Undo whatever you've done to them now" she growls and without hesitation, to his own surprise he complies before vanishing. Katie, a bit surprised at how that worked, turned to see Dean and Sam standing to their feet.
"You two need to be more careful." Castiel says.
"Yeah, I'm starting to get that. Your frat brothers are bigger dicks than I thought." Dean replied glancing over at Katie before turning back to Castiel.
"I don't mean the angels. Lucifer is circling his vessel." Castiel says. " And once he takes it, those hex bags won't be enough to protect you."
"Cas" Katie says and he turns to her. She tilts her head in their direction. "Do it" the angel nods before placing the palms of his hands on both Sam and Dean's chest. Both gasp before he releases them.
"What the hell was that?" Dean asked looking between Castiel and Katie.
"An Enochian sigil." Castiel replied. " It'll hide you from every angel in creation, including Lucifer."
"What, did you just brand us with it?" Dean asked.
"No." Castiel replied. "I carved it into your ribs." There was a brief pause before Dean turned to Katie.
"What about you?" Dean asked before turning back to Castiel. "Shouldn't you do your thing with her too"
"I can't, it would just heal itself" Castiel replied glancing over at Katie. She looks over at him and there is also a look in his eyes that she doesn't recognize.
"I can't hide" Katie said. "But then I again, from that look Zach was giving me I don't think many angels are gonna come looking for me"
"He can sense it" Castiel says. "As well, do I"
"Senses what?" Dean asks looking at the angel.
"That I'm much more than they thought" Katie replied looking over at Castiel.
"Which is what exactly?" Dean asked and Katie turns to him.
"I don't know yet" Katie replied honestly. She knew she'd been chosen to this important life changing thing, what that thing was, was still a big mystery. She turned to Castiel. "I'm glad you're back among the living"
"Thanks" Castiel replied still looking over her.
"So, you did die?" Sam asked and the angel turned to him.
"Yes" Castiel replied.
"Then how are you back?" Dean asked. Cas was silent before glancing over at Katie and disappearing. Sam and Dean both turned to her and she looked back at them.
"What?" Katie said. "I don't know" She looked up to the ceiling. "Well I have an idea, but I'm not sure, whatever let's just get back to the hospital"
Back at the hospital the three Winchesters were currently witnessing Bobby biting the head off the doctor.
"Unlikely to walk again"? Why, you snot-nosed son of a bitch! Wait till I get out of this bed!" The old hunter yelled. Katie tried to calm the man down but it wasn't helping. Sam and Dean stood by the window just watching. "I'll use my game leg and kick your friggin' ass! Yeah, you better run!" The doctor flees the room and Bobby turns to Katie. "You believe that yahoo?"
"I can't believe you" Katie said. "I'm going to go talk to him, see if there's anything else he was going to tell us before you bit his head off" She leaned down and kiss the man on the forehead. "Chill out, old man" She walked out and found the still shaken up doctor and was able to get him to tell her all the things Bobby was going to have to do once he got home. She knew it was going to be hard for the man, to have to change his entire life around but she knew if anyone could do it would be that stubborn SOB.
When she walked back into Bobby's room she found him alone. She walked over and he looked up at her.
"So I talked to the doctor" Katie says. "There's a lot we're gonna have to do when we get you home"
"Yeah, yeah" Bobby mumbled. Katie just rolled his eyes.
"I'm sorry" Katie said and he looked up at her confused.
"Why?" he asked. "You're not the one who stabbed me, that was my own doing"
"I know, but I'm sorry" Katie said grabbing his hand. "So, what are we going to do about our Lucifer situation"
"Well that husband of yours believes we can win" Bobby replied and Katie looked at him surprised. "Yeah, I think he full of crap too"
"We're a lucky bunch aren't we?" Katie said sarcastically. "We get the pleasure of trying to save the world"
"Yeah, a real pleasure" Bobby sighed.
"So, where did my boys go" She asked.
"I think those two need to get some things straightened out" Bobby replied.
"That doesn't sound good" Katie replied. "I should go check on them, you're good?"
"Yeah, I'm good" Bobby replied and Katie just gave him a smile and a light squeeze to the hand before leaving him to search for Sam and Dean. She was walking toward the exit when she saw Sam walking in toward her and he looked upset.
"Hey" Katie said stopping him. "What's up, what's happening?" Sam looked down at her and just shook his head before turning and continuing back to Bobby's room. Katie watched as he walked away and turned back to the exit. She walked out and spotted the impala. She found Dean sitting in the driver's seat, his eyes looking forward. Katie stepped in and took a seat next to him. They sat there in silence for a long moment.
"I don't want to talk about it" Dean said breaking their silence and Katie turned to him.
"Dean-"
"I don't want to talk about it!" Dean snapped, his eyes never turning to face her.
"Ok" Katie replied turning and looking forward as well. She knew she couldn't possibly understand what was going through his head at this moment. The things with Sam, and even her, along with finding out that he's Michael's vessel must be really taking a toll on him and she didn't want to push. She reached over and grabbed his hand and gave it a squeeze. "Ok"
