If At First You Don't Succeed!

Don watched amused through the windscreen as his not so faithful little wife backed out of the motel room, an expression of disappointment on her features. So Sam had bailed, had he?
Well, no matter, he wouldn't stay away for long. No! He adjusted the phrase in his mind; the Winchester boy couldn't stay away for long!
"Don't worry Amelia, he'll soon come crawling back to you," he whispered under his breath, grinning.

Things were working out well. The boss was one heck of a planner.
He had been acquainted with Zachariah and Uriel of course, but they had been incompetent trash compared to the conniving cunning bitch he now worked for. She was one who wouldn't stop until she got what she wanted, no matter whom or what she had to eliminate.
He shivered, glad that he wasn't targeted as one of her enemies.
She hadn't shared more information than was strictly necessary with him but he had to admire how she had set everything in motion, waiting patiently for the right moment to implement her plans.
Patience is definitely a virtue and it pays off, for the perfect moment duly arrived.

Sam hadn't known what hit him when he rushed out from Roman Industries right into her arms and that of her men.
She had gloated when she saw him on his own, upset and distressed by the abrupt disappearance of his brother.
Oh, the boy's good, for as soon as he saw us standing there he recognised instinctively what we were and that we weren't there to care and share; all the emotion drained from his face as he pulled his body up to full height and prepared to defend himself.
But he had no hope in Hell or should I say in Heaven, of doing so.

Naomi had slinked up towards him as her men held the Winchester still.
"Well, well, well, little Sammy Winchester! We haven't had the pleasure but that's all going to change, you'll be happy to hear."
A moment later the parking lot was empty and Sam secure in a green room.

After that everything just flowed.
She pulled Castiel up from Purgatory where he had conveniently ended up along with the elder Winchester, ordering him to search out a vampire called Benny and to inform him that there was a portal that could let a human pass through back to Earth. This Benny was to find Dean Winchester, gain his trust and protect him, eventually leading him to the portal.
Naomi was nothing if not thorough, she had investigated the background of various inhabitants of Purgatory and Benny had been chosen because she had come to know that he wanted revenge on a vampire back on Earth and would be more than willing to collaborate. Benny was never to reveal to Dean that Castiel had contacted him, pain of being kicked straight back to Purgatory.

Of course Castiel's memory was wiped and he had been deposited back down in Purgatory to keep up appearances, in order that Dean wouldn't suspect anything was wrong.
Castiel hadn't needed to go through the portal with Dean and Benny for he was drawn directly to Heaven by Naomi and then sent down to Earth to meet and greet with a newly arrived Dean, and of course to carry out any of Naomi's orders where the Winchesters were concerned, as they still seemed to trust him even after the times he had betrayed them.
Amelia had been selected because her husband Don, declared missing in Afghanistan was a suitable vessel for me to use. He hadn't been long dead and his body was in near perfect condition, not that it would have mattered if it had started to rot. My angel juice would soon have repaired it!

Naomi worked Sam over well in Heaven implanting false memories in his mind.
She got him believing that he ran when Dean disappeared; that he hadn't searched for Dean because he had no idea where to start and that finally there had been some promise between them not to look for each other if one disappeared.
The boy had a particularly stubborn mind and she couldn't just input any old thing; it had to be something that Sam could cope with and make sense of.
All that was left was to install a homing device leading him to Amelia, so allowing a contrived attraction to kick in and the game was on.

Now you might just wonder about the reason for going to all this bother. Well angels are a stubborn lot, we might be deviated from the chosen path by events outside our control but in the end we always go back to "What is written in Heaven, so must it be on Earth!"
The Winchesters were destined to cause the Apocalypse. Zachariah couldn't manage it; Raphael had a pathetic go at trying to get it on track again but it's third time lucky as they say!
X
Naomi's plan is so simple in its conception.
Get the Winchester brothers to distrust and hate each other so breaking the steel bond that binds them together; once it's gone their souls will be spiritually too weak to stop their bodies being possessed by Lucifer and Michael who are still both straining at the bit to get their hands round each other's throats as the Scriptures promised.
Naomi has found a way to storm the Cage and get them out but she doesn't want any mistakes.
The brothers have to be completely reduced to shreds emotionally and mentally, because the moment they no longer care about each other, Lucifer and Michael can slip in without a struggle and finally the ultimate battle between good and evil can take place, wiping out humanity and leaving the ravaged Earth as a playground for angels and demons.

Don shifted on the seat as a communication came through angel radio, frowning at the news. Sam was with his brother, but it was only a minor hitch.
Benny would soon manage to pull Dean away from Sam, and Amelia would be receiving a visit later that night as the younger Winchester would be forced by his implant to find his way back to her leaving Dean alone once more, so upping the tension between the brothers until everything bursts apart and erupts into Apocalypse Now!
