Supernatural: An Unexpected Savior
Chapter Three
Lucifer stilled as he felt the barrel of a shotgun press against his skull.
"Put the knife down and step away from the angel." Lynne said, her voice dead serious.
Lucifer turned his head slightly to see who had dared to interfere. He found himself looking at a pair of very calm but, very pissed off hazel eyes.
"Do you know who I am?" the fallen angel asked.
"I'm told that you're the Devil." Lynne said, keeping the shotgun where it was. "Not my problem. Like I said: 'Put the knife down and move away from the angel.' or I blow your head off."
"You can't kill me with that." Lucifer turned around and faced the shotgun head on.
"Maybe not," Lynne agreed, lowering the shotgun until it pointed at Lucifer's crotch. "but I bet it'll hurt."
"You're risking an awful lot." Lucifer said. "Castiel must mean a lot to you. Perhaps we can make a deal."
"No deals." Lynne said. "Leave. Now."
Lucifer smirked. "I'll be seeing you." he said and vanished.
Lynne breathed a sigh of relief and lowered her shotgun until it pointed at the floor. Then she hustled over to where Castiel lay and pulled the pins that held his shackles in place. "Don't try to move yet." she said, kneeling by the angel's side. "I'll take care of you." Lynne's right hand began to glow as she passed it over the worst of Castiel's wounds.
Castiel felt his muscles relax as a feeling of warmth spread over him. Slowly his wounds began to close. "My wings..." he said weakly.
"It's okay." Lynne said, focusing on her task. "I don't know what I can do about your wings but, I'll try." She stilled as she felt someone watching her. Turning on her knee she saw that Nathaniel stood in the doorway.
"Are you just going to stand there or, are you going to help me?" she demanded.
Nathaniel reluctantly entered the warehouse and walked over to where Lynne continued working on Castiel. "I can't heal him." Nathaniel said.
"I'm not asking you to." Lynne said, focused on her task. "But I'm going to need help getting him to my car."
"You're taking him to your hotel?" Nathaniel asked.
"He'll be safe there." Lynne said.
Nathaniel didn't say anything else as Lynne stopped Castiel's bleeding. He did help her carry the wounded angel to her car and get him inside.
"You coming?" Lynne asked as she got in her car.
"I'm not the one you were sent to collect." Nathaniel shook his head. "You really shouldn't have gotten involved in this."
"Do you really think that I should've just let Lucifer kill Castiel?" Lynne tilted her head.
"He wouldn't have killed Castiel." Nathaniel said.
"Are you sure of that?" Lynne asked. "We're talking about the Devil here."
"Lucifer doesn't have to kill to get what he wants." Nathaniel said. "He prefers to use persuasion."
"Yeah." Lynne looked pointedly at Castiel's bruised and bloody form. "I can see his kind of persuasion." She started her car and drove away.
