AN: I don't know if I like this chapter or not. Everything just seemed to happen too fast O_o Oh well. I enjoyed adding some more characters that have been sorely missed since they disappeared from the show. I'll leave you to deduce who they are before you start reading. I hope you find this chapter better than I found it and are enjoying the "Road So Far" ;)
Chapter 2
Now, two and a half months later, the bunker was still packed with the Winchesters, the fallen angel, the slightly cured demon, the prophet and the geeky chick. Sam slowly began to gain his strength and was soon back to his normal self. Cas had come to terms with his humanity and everyone in the household was beginning to trust Crowley.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door. Sam jumped to his feet and pulled out his gun as he walked up the stairs to the door. Slowly and carefully, he opened the loud, creaking door to find Chuck standing there in a white shirt and faded jeans.
"Chuck?" Sam asked astounded that the prophet that he hadn't seen since before his time in hell was stood before him. "We thought you were dead."
"Well, I'm not," Chuck laughed nervously. "Can I come in because I think I'm being watched?"
Sam stuck his head out of the door and looked around curiously. He then pulled Chuck inside and locked the door behind him. Together, they walked down the steps into the dining room where everyone was sat at the table doing their own thing or talking to one another.
"Chuck," Dean gasped and got to his feet. "Where have you been and what the hell are you doing here?"
Everyone ceased what they were doing and turned towards Chuck as he sat down and poured himself a small glass of whiskey with shaking hands.
"After the apocalypse, I decided to go my own way and I stopped having life threatening visions about the pair of you." He gestured to Sam and Dean. "I mean, I saw everything that happened to you guys but I also saw how it turned out so I wasn't too worried until now."
"Why, what's now?" Sam asked.
"The fallen angels have come together to form a plan to take down Metatron," Chuck informed them. "If they haven't done it already, it may been minutes until they carry it out and put the planet in danger."
"What's the plan?" Cas asked.
"There are only two angels left on the whole planet other than Metatron; Lucifer and Michael. The fallen angels are going to release them from the pit some they can go to heaven and stop what is happening." Chuck told the shocked faces of the people looking at him. "If they do that, the apocalypse will begin again."
"There must be some other way," Sam said fearfully.
"I'm sorry. Maybe if I had gotten here sooner then we would be able to stop it," Chuck apologised and looked at the floor.
"Don't worry Chuck." Dean placed a hand on his shoulder. "You did well even getting here to warn us."
"If only I was still an angel, then maybe I would be able to stop them." Cas mused sadly.
"Well join the club." Dean laughed trying to cheer his friend up.
"Thanks, but I used to belong to a much better club." Cas answered.
Suddenly, it all came back to Dean. Cas had just said the exact same thing that future Cas had said in the year 2014 after Zachariah zapped him forward to see what would happen if he didn't say yes to Michael.
"Chuck, is there any way to shove Michael and Lucifer away again?" Dean asked with fear laced in his voice.
"Other than your last plan with the horseman's rings, no. I'm sorry," Chuck answered.
Chuck then collapsed forward, his head held in his hands. He yelled out in pain as another vision flashed before his eyes. As quickly as it had arrived, it left leaving Chuck feeling shaken and disturbed.
"What did you see?" Cas asked as he helped Chuck into the chair again.
"The archangels are pissed. The angels have told them what has happened and they said they will help. But first, Lucifer is going to take his chosen vessel."
Sam swallowed the lump that was growing in his throat as the door burst open and a very familiar figure walked in.
"No, not again," Sam cried as Lucifer walked towards him in Nick's body with Michael in Adam's close behind. "You're not real."
Sam mindlessly pressed the faded scar on his left palm and tried to make the pair of angels disappear. Sadly, they stayed where they were.
"Sammy, hey," Dean gripped Sam's shoulders and tried to make his fearful eyes meet his. Sadly, Sam's wide, hazel orbs stayed fixed on the angels behind Dean's shoulder. "Sam, you're not imagining. God knows I wish this wasn't real but it is."
Sam took a deep, shaking breath as he calmed himself down.
"Hey Sammy," Lucifer smiled and stepped forward. "Ready for round two, bunk buddy?"
"You lay a hand on him and you will be back in the pit faster than you can blink." Dean shouted angrily.
Sam smiled gratefully at his brother and they both sat back in their seats.
"Is that Crowley?" Lucifer laughed mockingly when he saw the demon/human sitting at the table reading Great Expectations. "My, you have changed. Now your best friends with theses chuckleheads; I expected better."
Crowley smiled politely at the two angels before continuing to read.
"How did you find us?" Sam asked weakly.
"Since your friend Castiel here fell from grace, the sigils on your ribs vanished. You can't escape us boys." Lucifer grinned. "Anyway, I just wanted you to know that I will be back for my vessel and none of you can stop me."
"You need my consent first!" Sam snapped. "As if I will say yes to you,"
"Sammy, Sammy, Sammy," Lucifer stepped up to Sam and crouched in front of him. "You already gave me consent, remember? I rode around in your skin for just under a day and now I can take you whenever I want."
Sam blinked back tears as Lucifer stood and made his way back to the door.
"You'll be hearing from us," Michael warned and followed his brother before they both disappeared.
Sam got to his feet and hurried to his room where he locked the door so nobody could see his tears falling.
"Son of a bitch," Dean yelled and kicked at chair over before he too ran to his room and slammed the door behind him.
Cas, Chuck, Kevin, Charlie and Crowley stared after them not knowing what to say or do. This was going to be the end of the world.
Mwahahaha, cliff hangers are the best. Well, I enjoy them. Make sure to leave your reviews :D
