Nick glanced around- there was no one there. So he sighed and walked forwards, putting his hood up as he went.
Who knew how they would react to him-?
As he pushed the cafe door open, walked forwards and sat near the bar, the girl there stared at him with wide eyes, scuttling off.
She was scared of him.
Nick was watching the brothers- the Winchester brothers... they must have won the battle against Lucifer, for Sam was there, normal as usual.
Normal seemed overrated nowadays.
'-Dean, I really don't want to know what you do with your chicks... Jeez! Shut up and eat your burger!' Sam was saying with a sigh. Nick heard Dean snort and reply.
'Thats what brothers are for Sammy- those iggly little details.'
Sam groaned.
Nick sat back against the hard chair back- they were so... normal. Brothers.
He sighed, knowing he couldn't put it off any longer; he pulled himself up, sticking his hands in his pockets as he went.
'Sam and Dean Winchester?' he asked, standing in front of the table. He was keeping his face in shadow- they didn't need to know jut yet.
Dean looked up with a frown. 'What do you want? Leftovers?' He smirked at the end.
But Sam was frowning- he had a strange, niggling feeling... like he'd met the guy before.
Nick sighed, pulling up a chair in front of them, making Dean's look of confusement grow.
'Listen mate, we-' he started, but Nick sighed again and removed his hood.
Sam's eyes widened in both horror and shock; but also recognition.
No wonder he'd had that feeling!
Dean snarled, half getting up, but Sam frowned as "Lucifer" flinched.
'Hang on a moment-' he said to his brother, grabbing his arm before he literally throttled Nick.
Dean rounded on him then.
'Hang on? Hang on? You do know who the HELL this is?' He yelled, making the cafe go quiet. Sam groaned, then turned back to him.
'Your-?'
Nick sighed. 'I'm... Nick.' He said, his nervous aqua eyes on Dean, who was... furious was a good word.
'Outside.' He snarled, getting up and stalking off.
Sam frowned at Nick- the guy looked exactly the same as he did before... and that didn't exactly ease the pit in Sam's stomach.
This guy had said Yes to the Devil... to Lucifer.
He got up without a word and followed his brother outside.
A moment later, after a seconds hesitation, Nick followed too.
Outside, Dean was waiting for him.
'You bastard!' He roared, slamming Nick into the cafe wall. Nick groaned, the stone wall wasn't exactly nice smashing into your back.
Dean was glaring at him, his eyes unforgiving.
'How dare you!' He snarled, grabbing him by the throat. Nick scowled. 'Jeez! I only came here for help! Not a damn beating!'
Dean laughed. 'Oh? Well... maybe you should have thought of that before you opened the gates and let the little Cherub in!'
Nick groaned and rolled his eyes- he just wouldn't listen! He glanced at Sam, who was standing in silence, his arms folded. His eye's weren't as harsh as his brothers, but still cold and hard as ice.
'Look! Im sorry!' He yelled at Dean, who just laughed out. Sorry? Do you know how many innocent people died because of you?'
Nick sighed, his blonde-brown hair blowing slightly in the light breeze. 'I know...' He said quietly, looking down.
He knew just how much he was to blame... if he'd have said no, then maybe most of this could have been avoided.
That wasn't right- Lucifer would have just found another vessel to inhabit.
Yes or no, he was still to blame for the suffering of others.
Sam stared at the tears in the mans ice blue eyes with a frown- he wasn't exactly Luci material...
'How did he persuade you?' He asked the man, curious.
Nick's eyes turned to Sam, then he just sighed and said-
'My wife and newborn... they had been-' He couldn't say the word, but Sam understood.
Lucifer had played on the man's grief... he didn't really stand a chance heartbroken.
Nick wasn't evil... he was just a man who'd lost his family.
'Dean let him go.' He said quietly. Dean looked at him incredulously. 'You have gotta be kidding! I'm gonna send this dick's ass to Hell where he belongs!'
Sam saw Dean reach into his back pocket, then pulled him away before he could react.
'Damn it Dean! He's not evil! What would you do if you had lost your family huh!'
Dean was silent, then laughed quietly, incredulously.
'Huh (!) I guess that put me in my place (!) Mom and Dad died of old age, not murdered? Wow! I must be so screwed! "My family dies! Oh, hang on- I'll just say yes to the devil!"'
Nick snapped at that, and he pushed hard at Dean, sending him back a few steps.
'Shut the hell up!' He yelled at the hunter, eyes dark.
Dean grinned. 'Showing your true colors now eh? What next? Come on then-'
He smirked, then added.
'Your just a freak like Lucifer. No wonder he went for a messed up guy too!'
Sam had no choice but to grab Nick as he went for Dean- to be honest, Sam didn't blame him
Dean snorted and turned away.
'When you've stopped playing with Lucifers little lapdog, I'll be in the car-' He met Nick's eye and smirked.
'And if he comes anywhere near... I'll have the guns out for target practice.'
