AN: I was just minding my own business when all of a sudden this popped into my head. Don't kill me! Spoilers for up to "In the Beginning". From a certain character's point of view (If you're really a SN fan, you'll get it right away, as in within the first sentence).

Disclaimer: If I owned them, do you really think I'd be letting you read this for FREE? J/K, of course I would. I love everybody. P

Snap!

I like Dean, I really do. That kid really didn't deserve to be in Hell. Trust me, it's not somewhere you want to spend all eternity in. Talk about creepy and demented. What were they smoking when they thought up the place? Giant meathooks and electrical wires. Seriously. And so what if I pulled him out? Nothing those puny demons can do to me. I am a demi-god after all. Humans aren't the only beings I can trick. Lilith was due for a bringing down, anyway. She's a little too stuck up for her own good.

Besides, Dean didn't think he deserved being pulled out, when he clearly did deserve it. He was actually one of the very few down there who did. You know I like to pick on people who are too full of themselves, true, but that's just because they don't see themselves for who they really are. Now with Dean, well, the man is a freaking supernova of bad self-esteem. I mean, whew! His whole value system revolves around other people, barely any thoughts for himself. Even he admitted that the most selfish thing he'd ever done was to sell his soul for his Bigfoot of a little brother. Come on! He needs to see what he really is—a hero—and me being me, I'm having a little fun doing it.

Dean's whole "I don't believe in angels, and I definitely don't believe in God" line…well, you know what happens to people who are that adamant about things. I snapped my fingers and—poof!—an Angel. He was the real deal, too; well, as real as anything else I create. And since we need to do a little something about the life choices brother Sam is making (forget Travis Bickle in a skirt, he's more like a demonic vacuum cleaner, just suckin' all that evil energy up whenever he "exorcises" one of those black-eyed parasites), I thought I'd kill two birds with one stone.

Turning time back? Snap!—No problem. But you all knew that already, didn't you. I had to show Dean the reason he has the sucky life he does, let him see what started it all. And as the whipped cream topping with the cherry on top and rainbow sprinkles to speed things along, I told him he had to save Sam or he would be stopped. You know, gave him some real motivation to pull Sambo back. Because Azazel did have an end plan and by the way thing are going now, those boys are running right into their destiny.


AN: I just thought it strange that Dean's always going, "I don't believe in God" and all of a sudden there's an angel of the Lord pulling him out of Hell. And the whole time travel thing? Tricksters have the power to manipulate time, too, as evidenced in "Mystery Spot." Is this a bad idea? Or just weird? If it's either, blame the late hour. Whateverz, please leave me a pretty, sparkly review. I love shiny things!
