Plot: What if at the end of Season 5, it wasn't just Sam that said yes, what if Dean said it too, and what if it was part of an alternative plan they had come up with? Wonder if that would work?

Well, read on and see for yourself then.

Warning: No Wincest, no language or anything like that. Just another 'what if' fan fic'!

In the end, they had come up with a plan. A crazy, suicidal, 'this is the most insane plan you have ever come up with, Dean' type of plan. So, of course, they agreed to do it.

Cas whispered into their minds "Do you know how much power is in one soul, let alone that of two soul-mates so perfectly bonded as you two? Each soul holds infinite power and you two hold so much more than that when your souls are joined as they were meant to be. It's enough the kill the devil, and Michael too." Cas whispered this where the others could not hear it but enough so they could see there was another way than the one they had been given. He was trying to help and he was on their side.

This of course inspired the Dean's crazy idea which took flight into the 'this is the most insane plan you have ever come up with, Dean' type of plan, so much so they began to believe it would work, so much so they agreed to do it. There was no other option available so they went with Dean's plan, and Death would have agreed it would work too. He had said Sam could pull it off and would. So Dean figured he could do it too. This way they could beat those two Angel pricks together, cause they were always stronger together, and together they had always won against all odds. So they took the plan and ran with it, together.

There were steps to the plan and they followed them. The boys played the unwilling vessels and they were pursued. They pretended to fight against it until they also pretended to say what was required of them. Zachariah smirked, the sanctimonious prick smirked.

The boys played their parts and the others did too. Sam said yes in Detroit. Dean did too, strangely enough. Coincidence really. The angels didn't even think to remember that when it comes to the Winchesters there are no coincidences, there is always a reason or purpose at work. They should have remembered that.

Now Lucifer/Sam and Michael/Dean stand there, in the middle of the cemetery. Bobby and Castiel are staying behind, they are not part of this step in the plan. The Angels talk briefly, letting themselves get distracted by their thought and dialogue. Their preparation for the battle.

Sam's soul stretches out its power and Dean's follows suit. They fight to the surface and reach for each other, their connection strengthening the closer they get. Lucifer and Michael are not paying attention, they should have been. Never underestimate a hunter, let alone a Winchester was a rule of hunting and the Angels were doing just that. The souls were under their thumbs, their control, or so they thought.

Or so they thought until the two soul's soul lights poured from Lucifer and Michael's chest and into each other touching and holding onto each other, never letting go again, a bright spot between them, burning brighter and hotter than phosphorus, blinding even them. The two souls hung in the evening air, light filtering around them. They let their love flow between them, fulfilling that final connection that only soul mates have. Light and power so much brighter than that which had come before exploded from the joined soul mates and hit the Angels full force, disintegrating them instantly, wiping them from existence, their particles forever broken apart never to join again. Another wave of power blew from it and those particles, Lucifer and Michael, were burned up the rest of the way, into nothing now, not particles not anything at all. They could never be reformed now.

Their bodies unfortunately burned up with the Angels inside them but not the soul mated souls of the boys, no those were free of those shells when they were turned to nothingness along with their invading hosts.

The souls of Sam and Dean floated up to Heaven and ended up in their Impala, driving along the blacktop, bright sunshine glinting of the chrome and steel around them, filtering through the trees and the branches, and the sun shining upon them now, for all eternity here in Winchester Land.

The boys smiled at each other and headed toward a familiar old shed with a strange symbol on it, one they knew well from before. As they walked toward it, a familiar long haired mullet headed guy popped out his head and said, "Hello,Bitches! I didn't have to come find you this time. That's a first! You stickin' around this time?"

The boys nodded and grinned, they were staying now. They went into the roadhouse and ordered a beer. They sat down at a nearby table where Jo, Ellen, and Pamela were waiting, holding up their beers in welcome. The boys smiled and sat down. Jokes were told and laughter followed. Their hearts were full now. They settled in to wait for the other soul, the one that hadn't arrived yet but would someday. They would hug the red headed man and invite him to join them for a beer too, It's just the way he'd like it. John came in from the kitchen and grabbed one as well. He leaned into the bar and smiled widely, eyes shining. "About time you got here. We've be waiting forever."

"Sorry, sir." They both said but got up and hugged their father close, so glad to finally see him again, knowing they had eternity to get to know him again. Laughter erupted from the table again and the three men rejoined them, beers full again. They all sat down and waited, enjoying the company and waiting for their old friend.

Eventually, the red headed man walked in and ordered his own beer. He joined them and talked. He felt freer than he had in years. He was so damn happy to see the idjits, every last one. He had grieved for them all, especially the boys but in the end, they had waited for him. He didn't have to leave Heaven again, this pleased him very much. He shook their hands and hugged them hello, another old friend to join them. This was their Hunter's heaven, no matter what their own heaven looked like, this was the Heaven the hunters would return to time and time again. It was always just a door away, connecting all their heavens together.

God sat watching all that had happened and what was happening at the roadhouse and smiled approvingly. They had not chosen wrong when choosing the vessels for the battling Angels. Everyone thought they had been chosen because they were the most powerful souls and would be able to host the two warring angels best, Lucifer and Michael.

God looked at Joshua and smiled again. Joshua smiled back. Yeah, Joshua had fudged the truth a bit when he said God knew what the others were doing and didn't care. He had cared and had already set up his doomsday plan unbeknownst to his children.

The plan wasn't to teach the angels what being family was really about. The Winchesters were not to be a way for him to show his children that they needed to let go of their grudges and become better brothers and sister, stop trying to kill each other.

No, God's plan had been simple. Bring the two most powerfully bonded soul-mates in all existence together and let their released power save the world. Nothing rivals the power of two connected souls like theirs. It cannot be broken or erased but it will destroy or save what needs saving, especially each other. Soul-mates have special protections attached to them and the Angels had forgotten that or they would never have chosen those two.

The power they released would destroy the Angels seeking to start an apocalypse that they had wanted not God, he never wanted that! So he let his own plan play out and it did, just like he knew it would.

"Told you it would work." God smirked, it had been an ingenious plan.

"I see that." Joshua smiled and watched the hunters celebrate their reunion, happy and free of fighting evil finally. "So when do we tell them they are to become archangels now, they are to join us warriors up here?" Joshua was wondering, curious how they would take the news.

"Soon, Joshua, soon. Let them enjoy their time now. You can tell them later." They looked so happy that God decided to let them be for now. There was plenty of time to bring them to him later for the conversion they would go through.

Lucifer and Michael had forgotten something, something they should have remembered and it had got their entire existence erased. The soul-mate connection is pure grace and is closest to the strength of God's own. It had the power to destroy that which would sever it and had the power to protect itself.

Sam and Dean Winchester said yes to their pursuers and saved the world in the process. The power they released when they joined ended the apocalypse once and for all.

And all they had to do was say "Yes."

I know it was new take on how they could have stopped the apocalypse but I think it came out much better than I thought it would.

Review please and let me know what you thought, I appreciate all revewsl
