The Queen of Hell

I do not own Supernatural and I am not making a profit off of this.

This is the sequel series to my AU Supernatural story, A New Order, and starts a few months after that story left off. I hope you'll enjoy it.

CHAPTER 1

THE ENEMY WITHIN

"Say Dad. Go on. Say it," Dean Winchester said to his infant son Bobby as he held him and looked at him with a proud look on his face.

"Dean, he can't talk yet. He's too young," Jo said as she shook her head at him.

"You don't know. He might be able to. He's half Angel after all. Maybe that means he's smarter than an average baby. Come on, Bobby, say Dad. How about cheeseburger? Can you say cheeseburger? Wait a minute! I know what he'll say. Say pie. Pie," Dean said.

"What is it with you and pie anyway?" Jo asked as she started laughing out loud.

"Dean, he's not going to say anything. He's only a few months old. His first word will probably be Mama anyway. It usually is for most babies," Sam said from nearby.

Sam and Jessica were now living with Dean, Jo, and their kids in their house until they could find a home of their own. They were there pretty much all of the time now when they weren't going off hunting together that is anyway. Dean and Sam had lived together for years so it didn't bother them and Jo and Jess got along just like sisters so there was no friction there either. Things worked out more or less fine for everyone except for Mary.

Mary loved having her aunt and uncle around but with so many people in the house it was very, very hard for her to get any kind of privacy or a moment to herself. She also knew that it would be next to impossible for her to have any kind of a social life or a date with two overbearing father figures around sticking their nose into her business.

Not that she was probably going to ever have a boyfriend anyway. How in the world could she possibly explain to someone that she was part Angel and had never had a childhood much less that she had never gone to school a day in her life? She wondered if she would ever even have a friend much less a boyfriend.

"Maybe his first word will be gank," Mary said laughing as she tried to push all of this aside.

Dean actually smiled at that as he said, "Come on, Bobby, say gank. Let's go gank those mothers!"

Bobby laughed and gave his father a huge smile but said nothing. Dean looked disappointed for a moment but quickly got over it and started to smile again. He could never be too upset for long with Bobby and Mary around.

Dean gently rubbed the top of Mary's head as he walked by her and she looked up at him in confusion as she said, "What?"

"I didn't do anything," Dean said as he tried to act like nothing had happened.

Mary just shook her head at him but smiled despite herself. She loved it when her father showed her affection but still tried to act like he didn't do that kind of thing.

Sam saw this and called him on it immediately as he said, "Dude, you know what she's talking about. You were being completely affectionate with her."

"I was not," Dean protested.

"Yes, you were. You were showing her that you love her," Sam said.

"Shut up! I was not," Dean said.

"Dean, can't you just admit that you have a soft spot when it comes to your kids? You are human you know," Sam said.

"I don't know what you're talking about, Sammy. There's nothing soft about me," Dean said.

Jo rolled her eyes as she said, "Maybe you can give Mary a hug when you're alone together. Mary won't tell anyone that you're a great big softy after all."

"I'm not soft," Dean said.

Mary decided to have some fun with this as she walked up to Dean and gave him a hug instead. Dean smiled at first and enjoyed it until Sam started laughing.

"Yeah, she doesn't have you wrapped around her little finger at all," Sam said.

"Shut up!" Dean said.

Mary laughed. She knew that he wasn't acting like this because he didn't want to show her that he loved her but because he wanted to keep up his macho image in front of Sam. Not that he was fooling Sam for one minute.

"Sam, stop torturing your brother," Jessica said as she wrapped her arms around him.

"I'm just trying to get him to admit that he has feelings like everyone else does. He's just too stubborn to say it," Sam said.

"He's not the only one who's stubborn. Let it go," Jessica whispered in his ear.

Sam smiled and nodded as the two of them kissed. Dean then used this time while Sam was distracted to quietly rub Mary's head again while putting a finger to his lips.

Mary smiled at him and said nothing. She definitely didn't want to get that started up again.

This happy moment was immediately interrupted as all of these times usually were by Jo suddenly looking off into the distance as she listened to an incoming message from the other Angels. Mary sighed as she listened in and knew that trouble was already on its way to ruin what should have been an ordinary day for all of them.

Part of her welcomed the chance to get to crack some heads together, but another part of her had definitely been enjoying spending time with her family. She grimaced as she wondered if maybe she was the one who was going soft.

Dean took Mary into the next room with a serious expression on his face because he knew that Jo was listening to Angel Radio just from the look on her face. The deepening frown that she developed soon afterwards told him that whatever it was that it was something serious.

He also knew that Jo wouldn't discuss it with him while Bobby was around because she wanted to maintain the illusion of a normal life for his sake. It didn't seem to matter that he was only a baby and wouldn't understand them anyway. He was beginning to think that she had taken this wanting to have a normal life thing of hers way too far. Normal was overrated anyway in his book.

"What's it about this time?" Dean asked Mary as soon as they were alone.

"Abaddon has just invaded Hell with an army of new demons that she created from stolen human souls. She's going to try to overthrow Crowley," Mary said.

Dean whistled as he said with a grin, "I'm not sure who to root for. I wonder if there's any way that they could both kill each other and solve all of our problems for us at once."

Abaddon had been causing trouble for the Winchesters ever since Sam and Dean first ran across her when she was chasing their grandfather who had time jumped from 1958 to escape her with a key to the Men of Letters' headquarters. It was the same headquarters that Sam and Dean had already visited thanks to Jo. Their grandfather had died and no one could save him because it would create a paradox since he had never returned home again to see his son John. Jo and Mary both still felt guilty about that because they really wanted to for Sam and Dean's sake. Henry Winchester didn't hold a grudge over it though and seemed to be at peace with the rest of his family at last.

Abaddon however wasn't going away quite so easily. She had recently tried to steal the body of a powerful entity from another universe to use against Jo, but she had been prevented from doing so by the actions of Mary and several new friends that she had made there. Mary had been sure that wasn't the last that she would see of her, and she was unfortunately being proven right here today.

"Since when do we ever get lucky like that, Dad?" Mary asked with a smirk.

"Yeah, you're right. It'll never happen. With our luck, the two of them will probably fall in love and decide to rule Hell together," Dean said chuckling.

"Somehow I don't think so, Dad. Of course that just may be my complete and utter revulsion towards Crowley talking, but I think that Abaddon could do so much better than that lying scumbag," Mary said as she made a face.

"Thank you so much," Crowley said sarcastically as he suddenly appeared in the room with them.

Dean immediately went on the alert as he said, "What are you doing here? No one's supposed to know where we live."

Crowley shook his head as he said, "When are you going to learn, Dean? Nothing's a secret from me for long. It's not me that you have to worry about anyway. It's Abaddon. She's winning! If she takes over Hell, you won't be dealing with cute and cuddly little old me anymore. You haven't seen trouble like she'll cause if she beats me. I'd suggest that your much better half needs to send some help downstairs right away unless she wants to find out just how bad life with a Queen of Hell around can be, and she needs to send it quickly!"

Dean couldn't help but grin as he said, "She's really got you on the run, doesn't she? How's it feel not to be completely and totally in control of everything for once, Crowley? Sucks doesn't it? Now you know how us measly little humans feel every day especially with demons going around wrecking our lives."

"Could you please keep the comments from the Cro-Magnon set down to a minimum, Dean? I need some freakin' help now or you're going to find yourself in a whole new ballgame soon. Abaddon's completely changing the rules. She's not just making deals to get souls like I do. She's outright stealing them and leaving whole groups of soulless people behind for the rest of you to deal with. She's going to create chaos on Earth like you've never seen before if you don't stop her right now," Crowley said in a worried voice.

"You don't care about Earth, Crowley. All you care about is that you don't want her to get her hands on your precious little posterior," Jo said as she suddenly appeared next to the demon.

"Are you going to send any of your winged friends down below to help me or what?" Crowley asked impatiently.

"Yes, unfortunately. I'd really prefer to just let Abaddon play basketball with your head instead, but since she's a whole bucket full of crazy I guess I'll just have to pick the manipulative creep over the psychotic nutcase," Jo said with a sigh.

"I truly appreciate your heartfelt concern for my well-being," Crowley said with a frown.

"Go on back, Crowley. You should already have plenty of help there now to drive Abaddon off. Meanwhile I have some fumigating of this room to do. There's a foul stench in here now that I'll probably never get out," Jo said with a turned up nose.

"Don't worry. I'm more than happy to go. I can't stand the warm and welcoming atmosphere of this place for a minute longer," Crowley said.

Then he turned to smile at Mary as he said, "Unless of course you want me to stay for some reason, my dear."

Mary started to glow with white light as she said, "If you don't leave right now, I'm going to send you back down missing a few vital pieces of your anatomy. Do I make my meaning clear?"

"It's like crystal," Crowley said with a frown.

Jo practically growled as she said, "Crowley, if you ever enter my home uninvited or hit on my daughter again, I'll pop you like a balloon with a snap of my fingers! Do I make MY meaning clear?"

Crowley shuddered as he nodded and immediately left the house without saying anything further.

Dean laughed as he said, "I'm so glad that you're on my side."

Jo wrapped her arms around him as she said in a sad voice, "I don't like it that he knows where we live now. They'll all know if he knows. Now we'll have to put Devil's Traps all through this place and try to make it demon proof. I didn't want this. I wanted Bobby to have a normal place to grow up in. I was so hoping that he would have the kind of life that you and I never got to have."

"He still will if I can help it. There's only so much you can protect him from though when his Dad is a hunter and his Mom is the head of the Angels. We're kind of like walking, talking neon signs attracting demons straight toward us whether we want to be or not," Dean said.

"I know but I guess I just had this fantasy that I could keep Bobby sheltered here from all of that since it had worked for the last couple of months. I don't want anything to happen to him too," Jo said as she looked at Mary with guilt.

Mary smiled as she said, "I'm fine. You don't need to keep feeling guilty about what happened to me. You definitely don't have to worry about protecting Bobby either. I'll do that. I won't let anything happen to him. Ever. He's going to be completely safe as long as I'm around because he's my little brother. Nothing and I mean nothing is going to lay a finger on him without going through me first."

Jo and Dean both looked at her with amused looks on their faces as Mary said, "What?"

"It's just that you're way too much like your Dad," Jo said.

"You say that like it's a bad thing," Dean said smugly.

Suddenly they heard Jessica screaming and everyone ran out of the room and back into the living room where they found her lying on the floor unconscious. Sam was nowhere in sight which automatically made Dean wonder if Crowley had come with some friends.

"He wouldn't dare," Jo said knowing what Dean was thinking.

"Where is Sam then and what happened to Jess?" Dean asked worried.

Jo touched Jessica's forehead and said, "She's fine physically. I don't know why she's just lying here for. I'm searching for Sam right now. He's . . ."

"I'm right here. What happened to Jess?" Sam asked.

"That's what I'd like to know. I'd also like to know why you left her in here alone with Crowley running around," Dean said accusingly.

"Crowley was here? How was I supposed to know that, Dean?" Sam asked as he picked Jessica up and gently laid her on the couch.

"Why did you leave? Where were you?" Dean demanded.

"I had to sign for a delivery of some of your stupid westerns that you special ordered. I didn't know that all of a sudden we were going to have an invasion on our hands," Sam said indignantly.

Jo almost smiled because she knew that Dean was acting this way because he had grown to think of Jessica as a sister and was very concerned about her. This was his way of showing it much to Sam's detriment.

"Dean, you can't blame Sam for this. He never would have left her alone if he had known that she was in danger. I think we're all equally to blame for this really. We kind of became complacent and thought that we were invincible here. We just found out exactly how wrong that we were," Jo said.

"I don't understand. I don't see anything wrong with her. Why is she unconscious?" Sam asked as he carefully checked Jessica over.

Suddenly Jessica woke up and said, "Sam? Why are you all staring at me for?"

"You tell us. We found you passed out on the floor after hearing you scream," Dean said.

"I – I don't remember. No, wait a minute! I do remember now. It was Abaddon. I saw her here and I tried to stop her. I set her on fire to drive her away. Then she began telekinetically squeezing my heart and made me pass out. She must have decided to escape before the rest of you came. I guess she'll know not to mess around with me again, huh?" Jessica asked with a grin on her face.

"I certainly hope so," Jo said as she hugged Jessica tightly and tried to repress any outward signs of the fear that was threatening to overwhelm her.

Abaddon had been here! She had been in the same house with her baby, and she hadn't even known it.

Why hadn't she known it? Why hadn't she been able to detect her? Why was she here for in the first place?

Mary had the same questions in her eyes as well as she looked at her with a troubled look on her face. Neither of them knew what was going on here and they didn't like it.

"We're definitely going to have to demon proof this house and make it more like a Panic Room. I don't want to do it but I have to in order to protect Bobby," Jo said sadly.

"I'm sorry, Jo. It's necessary though. We have to do it in order to keep Abbadon out of here. Who knows what she might do if she gets in here again?" Jessica said.

Jo nodded and went to work immediately to turn her former home into one huge Panic Room. She would never feel the same here again though, and she would make sure that Abaddon paid for that the next time that she saw her.

What she didn't know was that she had been looking at Abaddon the entire time. Abaddon inwardly smiled as she watched Jo from inside of Jessica's body which was now hers. After her forces had been defeated by Jo's army of Angels, she had come here for revenge and quickly found the perfect place to hide from Jo when Jessica had attacked her. Now she could stay hidden right there in plain sight while simultaneously trying to find a way to destroy Jo from within as she learned everything that she possibly could about her.

She knew that Jo would never suspect that her best friend would also be her worst enemy in disguise and thanks to her discovery of a hidden tablet in one of Lucifer's secret hiding places that had given her the ability to pass undetected by Angels she would never even know that she was there. She would also never be able to stop her no matter how many Devil's Traps or other defenses against demons that she put into her home because thanks to the tablet she was now immune to those as well. Being inside of Jessica's body also made her nearly invulnerable. Making herself almost unstoppable wasn't enough though. She still didn't have the power to take on Jo or any other Angels that she might come across, and they could still kill her even in this form if they found out about The First Blade.

She was going to have to remain hidden here inside of Jessica's body until she either came across a new source of power or found a way to kill her. She would never be able to take Hell from Crowley as long as she existed.

Jo Winchester had to die so that the new reign of the Queen of Hell could begin.

Next: Even as Abaddon plots against the Winchesters from within their own home, a seemingly familiar threat appears out of nowhere. It seems that several people have been having all of their wishes come true in a small town and it's caused instant chaos. At first Sam and Dean believe that yet another Coin of Tiamat has been found, but they soon find out just how wrong that they are when the real source of the wishes reveals itself. The Winchesters are going to find themselves becoming really nostalgic for the old days when all that they had to do to solve the problem was to find an evil coin when they find out what they're really up against.
