Desperation

Crowley looked around confused, he knew it was Dean who'd summoned him, but the location was some abandoned building in the Detroit area, and even stranger, there was no devil's trap prepared to contain the King of Hell.

"Took you long enough," the voice came from behind him and Crowley turned to find Dean leaned against the door frame to the room. He looked pale, and more distracting the man was covered in dried blood.

"Why did you-" Crowley started before Dean interrupted.

"-Sam's dead," and just like that Crowley froze in place.

Dean Winchester was downright unpredictable and murderous at the best of times, but when his brother died...well, it was just best not to say anything.

"It was Rowena," Dean scowled down at his hands, "and last time he was dying he made a deal with Death, no coming back this time, no fixing it."

"So what do you want from me?" Crowley frowned even more confused now.

"What I want..." Dean rubbed one hand across the back of his neck and glared at the floor, he was second guessing something, but the uncertainty seemed to pass and his eyes came back up to meet Crowley's, "you're going to buy my soul from me Crowley."

"For what?"

"In return, you're going to give me my blade, then I'm going to jam that thing into my heart, and when I wake up - you're going to send me after Rowena as payment for my soul. After she's dead, you can use me for whatever, just another demon, your own personal assassin, whatever."

Crowley raised an eyebrow before suddenly grinning, Dean even as a demon...especially as a demon really, would be much easier to control if he owned him, and Rowena was a problem he'd been meaning to take care of anyways...

"Well then, you've got yourself a deal."

((So...this just basically flew into my head today...no clue what to do with it, but I had to write it down. If you've got an idea of where to go with it, feel free to steal the idea if you have a continuation...if something does come to me I'll continue it, but I wouldn't count on it, if you have suggestions of where to go, that's good too.))
