Alex chewed the back end of her pen. She was writing down a grocery list of supplies she'd need when Jodie would be going shopping. She had stayed in the family cabin since Jodie hadn't wanted to get into legal issues concerning her adoption, or in that case, non adoption. So she would stay inside, all day, to rot. She was allowed to roam around outside and breath in the atmosphere so to speak, but she never did. She always felt alone, Jodie was barely at the cabin, she was only ever there to give Alex supplies or be there to talk to her for a short amount of time because Dean and Sam Winchester had suggested it.
She a strange of hair around with two fingers and threw her pencil down on the table. She leaned back stretching. Jodie would be back from her job in almost an hour. Then she thought something that she wished she had never thought of. It was one of those thoughts you didn't even realize you had thought up. One of those thoughts that just passes quickly through your mind especially if you're bored and want something to pick you up and drag you away.
Alex wishes she could become an angel and just fly away and never come back, and by thinking this, little did she know that the fallen angel looking for vessels could hear even the quietest of thoughts. The door swung open and wind blew her back causing her paper to fly out of her hand and her to drop her pen. Something, blue, glowing, entered her. Without her permission, or perhaps unknowingly she had in fact given it permission. It was an angel wasn't it? She started fighting for her well being no longer able to see where she was. It was just dark and she could feel the presence attempting to overpower her. But Alex was quick and she was able to quickly subdue the supernatural creature. Then everything went quite and she was no longer herself.
Yes she had overpowered it, but she herself still felt a surge of overwhelming aptitude. She was still in the cabin, light objects were scattered across the living room and the door was still slowly swinging back and forth. The was dead but she contained its grace. She felt like her skin was on fire, not in a bad way, but surging with energy. She felt like she could never die. A small smile crept across her face. Was this a good thing?
She looked over herself. Her blue sweatshirt was torn in various places and by only thinking, they were suddenly repaired. She took a step back and whispered, "Whoa."
"Alex?" a familiar voice called from the front door. Jodie was standing there in her police uniform with a worried expression on her face, "Are you alright? It looks like a hurricane hit this place."
Something caught in Alex's throat and she could barely get a sentence out. "Uh...yah."
Jodie gave her a look, "Honey, I've had a kid before I know when you are lying."
Lex looked down, "The angels. They found me."
Jodie suddenly became deliberate. "Why were they looking for you?" She asked in a cool tone. She set down her back and took a few steps towards the worried teenager. Lex shook her head, "I think I accidentally prayed to them and they-"
"What?"
"They...It. It possessed me. I got rid of it though." Alex said in a tense tone. Jodie cocked her head to one side, "How'd you do that?"
Alex shrugged holding her arm with one hand, "I just did."
Jodie closed her eyes for a few moments, "Sweetheart, you can tell me I'm not going to do anything."
"I'm an angel."
"What!? How?"
Alex felt like she was going to cry, and under normal circumstances she would but now it felt as if she could barely reach her emotions. Almost as if they had been reduced 90%. "I don't know. I overpowered it...I think."
Jodie thought for a moment, "I'm going to call De-" He then retracted her thoughts, "No. I'm going to call Castiel. Wait here."
She walked back outside, perhaps to pray? Was she going to bring another angel here? And to do what? Alex gulped feeling a little guilty about the whole ordeal. She had no idea what had just happened, she only knew she was an angel now. Perhaps this 'Castiel' would explain a thing or two to her?"
Jodie walked back inside, "He should come." She said sliding her phone in her pocket. He's around these parts somewhere according to Sam and Dean. "Can't you just pray to him?" Alex asked.
Jodie shook her head, "It doesn't work like that now. Ever since the angels fall, if you have a vessel you don't have any wings. So I actually needed to call him and he'll actually need to drive here."
Alex nodded, "So the angel that possessed me had wings because it wasn't being dragged down by an angel."
"Mmhmm."
"Oh."
"Are you okay, Alex?" Jodie asked.
"Yah.
Jodie put a hand on the teenage girls shoulder, "Alex, seriously, look what happened while I was gone. Are you sure you're ok?"
"I don't know."
"Ok."
-SPN-
There was a knock at the now closed cabin door. Jodie had offered Lex some food earlier but she had refused. She was now watching Jodie eat her salad at the kitchen table and practically sprinted to the door. Jodie nodded towards her gesturing for her to open it. There stood a tallish man with a beige coat and dark hair. His blue eyes looked tormented and tired and he forced himself to smile when he saw the teenager, "Hello."
She smiled, "Hi."
He turned to Jodie who was now making her way towards the two of them. "Is this why you called me?"
Jodie nodded, "How about I explain what happened."
While Jodie was explaining what had happened, Castiel had his eyes locked on Alex who sat shifting in her chair every few minutes. Cas finally understood what was going on, "I understand Jodie. Thank you for bringing this to my attention first."
He stood up and held out a hand to Alex, "What's your name?"
Alex thought for a second before telling him. This would be her new life, a new identity, "Lex." she stated. Jodie didn't say anything but Lex could feel her smile behind her. Cas nodded, "Alright Lex, you'll have to come with me. Jodie, it would seem I have to take her off your hands."
"That's alright Castiel. Thank you for helping." Jodie stood up and pulled Lex into a hug, "Take care of yourself sweetheart."
Lex nodded solemnly. She felt guilty about suddenly leaving Jodie but she knew the police officer could take care of herself. Castiel lead the new angel outside and shut the cabin door behind him. Finally, Lex was walking into a new life, she could start over for once."If I'm an angel," she started, casting a glance at Cas, "what does that make you?"
"Your brother." He answer with a genuine, warm, smile. She nodded, "You're a bit different than my old brothers. Less fangs."
Castiel chuckled, "I guess. You'll find angels are nothing like vampires."
"What are we going to do?" Lex asked, "About me."
"I'll start by teaching you a few things about being an angel. We'll need to go find Kevin." Cas replied. Kevin. What a nice name for a boy, "Who's Kevin?" She asked curiously.
Cas smiled, "You'll see."
