Here is the second chapter and thank you to my good friend Peri for helping me get this chapter right. Hope you all enjoy it and things are going to start getting real soon.
Chapter 2 – Release me
Dean's mindscape
Castiel and Sam appeared in pure darkness of Dean's mind their footsteps echoing around them and they looked around with frowns.
"You can try and release Dean Winchester, but you will fail and he will be forever trapped" Michael's voice surrounded them before a bright light appeared and they covered their eyes.
"What on Earth was that?" Sam asked as the darkness disappeared to reveal to Sam's shock a place he had not seen in years.
"I have no idea" Castiel watched as Sam walked over to the bar and ran a hand over the bench "what is this place?" Castiel asked confused walking over.
"This..." Sam was shocked "Cas, this is the Roadhouse, Ellen and her daughter ran it before demons burnt it to the ground before I was first killed by Jake Talley" Castiel looked to Sam in shock and then back looking around the bar "but I want to know is, why would this be the entrance to Dean's mind, I would have thought it would be Bobby's home or the Impala" Sam replied and he crossed his arms.
"Was this Roadhouse important to you both?" Castiel asked curious and Sam frowned.
"It was not truly important to me as I did not really connect to Jo or Ellen, but you saw the attraction between Jo and Dean, correct?" Sam asked and Castiel frowned.
"Not fully" Castiel answered and Sam sighed.
"I think my brother and Jo had a connection" Castiel tilted his head confused "Jo I believe wanted romance and Dean saw Jo as a little sister and Ellen as a mum" Sam shook his head "we need to find Dean and get that bridge between him and Michael closed".
The Empty
Lucifer gulped looking at the copy of himself as the entity crossed his arms and glared at him with Nick's ice blue eyes.
"What is with you damn angels and waking up?" the entity growled and Lucifer took a step back as the Empty took a step forward.
"I don't know" Lucifer shrugged with a long blink where he did not see the Entity of the Empty glare with eyes turning inky black before looking back to the blue "as to how I woke" Lucifer replied looking towards the Empty as the entity gave an evil sounding chuckle.
"Well, if you don't want to sleep, then you will bargain with me to release you, just like your little brother had just done and I am looking forward to having him again" the Empty purred making Lucifer frown before his eyes widen.
"Castiel? He bargained? He is still alive and I don't bargain" Lucifer stated and the entity glared making his copied form of Nick gain ink black eyes with tears of ink flowing within.
"Your little Nephilim died and instead of coming to me, he went to Heaven" Lucifer cut off the entity in shock.
"What?" Lucifer took a step back as the entity laughed.
"Oh, you did not know, but due to you taking your son's grace, you little boy was slowly dying and I attacked Heaven to get him to me, but Castiel stood in my way and bargained to take his place and I replied I will kill him myself when he is most happiest" the entity stated with pure glee in it's voice.
"Jack is dead" Lucifer whispered and the entity laughed.
"No, those blasted Winchesters brought him back to life and boy, am I looking forward to having those to forever in my realm" Lucifer looked down thinking on everything before he was stabbed by the other version of Michael and realised he truly did care for his son and felt guilty in taking his grace "even you should forever stay in my realm, however now that you are awake, you will bargain or suffer even worst" Lucifer felt pain run up his back as the entity closed his fist.
"I... WON'T... BARGAIN..." Lucifer yelled in pain before he was thrown deeper into the darkness.
Dean's Mindscape
Sam and Castiel looked around as many doors appeared around them and Sam looked around confused.
"Cas, what are all of these doors?" Sam asked and Castiel looked to Sam.
"Those doors... are doors to Dean's memories" Castiel answered and Sam walked towards a yellow and silver door.
"I wouldn't do that if I were you Sammy" Sam and Castiel turned in shock to the young sounding voice.
There in front of them stood a young version of Dean holding a shot gun and Sam gaped.
"Dean? Did Michael do this to you?" Sam asked and Dean shook his head.
"No, I am the guardian of Dean's childhood memories" Sam looked over to Castiel in shock at what young Dean had said.
"Guardian?" Sam asked Castiel and the angel nodded.
"Everyone has guardians that guard different areas of memory, when Gadreel possessed you, he forced your guardians to sleep and Lucifer would have done the same" Castiel explained and Sam frowned.
"You don't know your guardians nor the areas of memories they protect, it is truly subconscious choice" Young Dean explained and Sam frowned.
"Where is my Dean?" Sam asked softly and young Dean looked down biting his bottom lip.
"He wouldn't know" Castiel heard Sam gasp softly and he sent the tall hunter a look of confusion and watched as Sam turned around and Castiel followed Sam's gaze.
"Pastor Jim?" Sam whispered as the hunter priest took a few steps forward.
"Hello Sam" the man stated and before Sam could speak again, there was clapping and all turned to see Michael standing there with a smirk.
The Bunker (While the Mindscape is going on)
Jack watched as Naomi waved her hand and white light shot out of her hand towards Dean's body.
"Michael was a threat, I knocked him out in hopes of giving time to Sam and Castiel to find Dean before Michael forces their hand" Naomi explained before she looked over to Castiel, Sam and Dean's body.
"Let me out of these cuffs" Jack jumped in fright forgetting that there was another handcuffed to a pole and he looked up to see the yellow eyes of Garth glaring towards Naomi and himself.
"No, you are a danger to yourself as well as your friends here" Naomi told him and Garth growled at her.
"These cuffs will not hold me for long" Garth growled and Naomi smirked towards him.
"Those cuffs are special, no creature or monster can get out of them, not even Michael here" Naomi stated pointing to cuffs on Dean's hands and Garth growled seeing the Archangel now in Dean Winchester.
"So the bastard got back into Dean, I know you" Naomi raised her eyebrows at him "you are that bitch who ordered Samandriel killed" Naomi looked shocked towards the werewolf and she frowned thinking deeply.
"I was not aware that you knew of Samandriel" Naomi stated and Garth scoffed before his eyes returned to their normal green blue and his teeth returned to normal.
"He was what Castiel is to Dean and Sam" Garth revealed and Naomi raised her eyebrows with surprise on her face.
"I was unaware that Samandriel had gotten himself a charge" Naomi looked back to the machine and gave it a look before looking back towards Garth "Jack, could you get some glasses of water?" Naomi asked nicely and Jack looked to Naomi with a tilt of his head.
"Why?" Jack asked with a curious tone and tilt of his head.
"Cause I can sense Sam and Castiel fighting Michael within Dean's mind" Jack's eyes widen and he ran off to the kitchen as Naomi looked towards Garth, however before she could speak to Garth, Duma appeared.
"Sister, the monsters that hold a tiny bit of Michael's grace are on the move, they are coming here" Duma said and both Garth and Naomi were shocked just as Jack entered with a jug of water and glasses.
Elsewhere
A young blonde woman walked up the steps to where a woman and man sat on golden thrones.
"Grandfather, grandmother" the young woman said with a curtsy.
"Raise granddaughter, we summoned you here cause we were alerted to something happening in the universe" the man stated and the young woman rose to her hands with eyes meeting her grandfather.
"In what way?" she asked curious and her grandmother giggled.
"My love, this is a serious matter" the young woman was curious now as her grandmother stopped giggling.
"I am sorry, my love, but our granddaughter looked so much like her father that it took me by surprise" the grandmother replied.
"Our king" the young woman jumped as 3 voices spoke at once and she quickly curtsy to the three.
"Thank you for coming, my dear Fates" the grandfather told them with a bow of his head.
Dean's Mindscape
Unaware and away from his guardians, his brother and angel, the real Dean was sitting on a picnic mat with a woman he loved as he feed her a chocolate covered strawberry and she was laying in his lap.
"Dean, what would you say if we go into the lake?" the woman stated and Dean smiled.
"After you, Lisa" Dean told her and he watched as Lisa got up.
Sorry this chapter is shorter, the next will be the battles for the Bunker, Dean's freedom and the young woman will be revealed. If you can guess who everyone is, I will give you a sneak peak into chapter 3.
