"My help?"
"Yes"
"Yes otherwise we would have not summoned you." Rowena says.
Michael frowns at the witch.
"Rowena MacLeod" The witch grins at him. Michael raises his eyebrow at Dean "You are working with witches."
"A lot has changed since you been stuck down here. "
"Boy what a time I have had." Michael says sarcastically. Laughing as he said it.
Dean noticed the archangel's hands trembling. His laugh actually sent a shiver down his spine. Michael stops and smiles. A twisted smile.
Deep inside Michael felt broken. The idea of hope started to turn extinct. But now Dean Winchester wanting his help, he couldn't help but feel happy. Finally he has a break from the madness and torture he has experienced from the cage. He finally had his mind to focus on something. That's why he smiled. Although it came out not fully looking like a smile, it is the first time he smiled in ages.
"Listen here" Dean says to him.
Michael went back straight-faced.
"I'm listening"
"Lucifer is out."
" Oh yes...I thought it was a bit quiet no annoying brother singing songs and tormenting you. "
Dean ignores his comment and continues.
"His been an extra boost in power."
Michael raises both of his eyebrows.
"What?"
" Lucifer had a son. His name is Jack... "
"Lucifer had a son." Michael interrupts.
"Yes" Cas answers.
Michael's eyes went wide as saucers.
Shit his gonna freak out Dean thought.
"Michael. Jack his good nothing like his father. He chose us not him." Cas says.
"He had a son." Michael repeats .
He starts pacing up and down the cage repeating the same sentence over and over.
Cas looks at Dean and shakes his head.
"I knew he wasn't going to take this well."
"Michael!" Dean yelled trying to get the archangel's attention again.
Michael spins round. His face pale.
"You should have let me killed him that day."
"Sorry but I couldn't let you do that. "
"But look what happened! Lucifer has had a child."
" I told you his good. His has more good than any of you lot" Cas says raising his voice to the archangel.
Michael steps back with shock.
"You raise your voice to me Castiel"
" I don't follow orders not from you not from anyone. "
"As I was saying." Dean interrupts "Lucifer consumed Jack's grace."
"He consumed a nephilim's grace?"
"Yes"
Michael leans against the cage.
"Do you realize how powerful he is now. "
"Yes we do and his kidnapped Jack. His kidnapped Sam."
"Sam? He has Sam?" Michael shakes his head sadly "Lucifer never left him alone. Called him his toy. "
That comment made Dean want to kill Lucifer even more.
"That's where you come into this. You can fight Lucifer."
Michael's hands increase their grip around the bars .
"I can" he hisses.
"God and Lucifer said you are in no state to fight!" Cas says.
"If it's fighting Lucifer .Insane or not I will do it. He has to die." He bangs the cage with his fists "I AM SUPPOSE TO KILL HIM." He screams .
Dean flinched by the scream.
Am I doing the right thing here? He then shakes his head No going back
The blue glow returns to the archangel's eyes. His face and body looking vicious. Seconds later slow breaths came from the archangel. The blue vanished from his eyes. Michael went back calm again.
He frowns "I don't have a vessel."
"You have me."
Michael looks at him puzzled.
"You are not doing what I think you are doing. "
"You need me. I am your sword. Together we can fight Lucifer down. Is there a chance we beat him? "
"There is a chance but Dean you never wanted to say yes to me. Now you are willing. "
"There isn't much time. You are all I got now."
"I will help. All you got to do is say yes and I'm out of this cage."
Michael grins waiting for those words to come out of the hunter's mouth. Dean wasn't going to let him in that easily.
"If we do this, it's a one time deal. I'm in charge. You're the engine but I'm behind the wheel. Understand ?"
"No Dean we can't do that. I have to be in control."
"No. I'm not letting you take the wheel while I'm at back as a passenger. Not happening."
"Dean I have to kill Lucifer. "
"We are both going to kill Lucifer."
"Dean this is my battle .You are my weapon . I use you .I take charge. That's how it works. "
"No."
Michael glares at him .
"You are being foolish Dean."
"That's the deal I'm not offering another one. "
"IT'S MY FIGHT DEAN. YOU EXPECT ME TO SIT BACK AND WATCH YOU FIGHT MY BROTHER. "
Dean did his best to stay calm.
"But you are doing something other than sitting back .You are gonna be there to give me power."
Michael let's out a groan.
"I have waited so long."
"With me in charge your waiting days will be over .He will be dead."
Michael shakes his head.
"I'm not agreeing to it."
Cas looks at Dean with the I told you so look.
Dean shrugs "Alright. Rowena send him back."
"What!"
"Sorry Mikey but no deal no freedom for you. Have fun back in the cage."
"You wouldn't do that .You said I'm all you got. You need me."
"Rowena. Do what you need to do."
"Should of took the deal." Rowena says to the archangel.
Michael watched as Rowena started preparing for the spell. The images of the cage started flashing across his eyes .
No no I don't wanna go back .
Dean and Cas had their back to him .They were too busy watching Rowena. Michael shakes his head .
I can't go back
Rowena nods to them ."Almost ready"
"No" Michael whispered. As more memories of the cage went past his eyes, his breaths became shallow, his body shaking. His legs turned jelly making him drop to the ground. "NO"
"Okay Rowena." Dean says.
Michael hugs himself trying to block out those horrifying memories but it wouldn't stop.
Cas quickly glances at the troubled archangel. He looks at Dean.
"I think his having a panic attack."
"It's up to him. He didn't agree to the deal. "
Rowena clears her throat .She is ready to start the chanting . Michael's eyes widen. They really are sending him back.
Lucifer is still out there . No I can't stay in here .
"ALRIGHT. ALRIGHT I AGREE." Michael cries out .
Rowena pauses .Dean and Cas turn and look at him .
"Thought you would." Dean says .
Michael quickly gets to his feet feeling embarrassed by that sudden out burst. No way did he like exposing his vulnerability to an angel or his true vessel.
"You promise you will stick to it." Cas says his face stern.
Michael nods. "Yes I promise " his voice still slightly shaky .
"I mean it. Dean is taking a big risk saying yes to you. If you try anything..."
" I get it Castiel. I will honor the deal. You in control. I supply the power.
Dean nods "Good glad you understand. "
Cas still felt uneasy. He really did not want Dean to go through this. Although Michael said he will honor the deal, Cas didn't want Dean to experience this. He thought back to when Lucifer possessed him. That gave him an idea.
As Dean's mouth was opening to say the word that will let Michael in, Cas steps forward.
"Take me instead."
Michael frowns.
"What?"
"My grace combined with yours will be just as strong."
Dean glares at him "No Cas not again."
"My vessel is strong enough to hold both of us. It worked once it can work again."
"No Cas. I'm not losing you again. I have to do this."
Michael nods "Castiel he is my vessel."
"I don't care. I'm sorry Dean but I can't let you do this." he looks at Michael. "I say..."
"Yes it's a yes" Dean quickly interrupts. No way he was letting his friend suffer again.
Cas's eyes widen . " Dean!"
Relief floods through Michael. He is now going to escape this prison.
I'm finally coming out
There was a flare of blinding light causing everyone expect Cas to cover their eyes. The archangel shoots out of the cage and goes straight into the hunter. The power floods into his veins causing Dean's chest to feel like it was going to explode. Dean clutches to his chest and let out a grunt as the grace travels in his blood stream pumping through his body. He stumbles sideways but Cas catches him just in time.
Cas examines Dean's face hoping to see any signs that Dean was in control.
"Dean?"
Dean blinks a few times regaining his eye sight.
"I'm okay"
Actually he felt weird. He can sense Michael's presence in him and his senses were now sharper. The flutter of the wings. Michael's wings. Dean looks over at his back. He couldn't see the wings but he can hear him .He couldn't help but freak out a little.
"Well did it work?" Rowena asks.
"Uh..." Dean is speechless.
This was all too much to process within a short space of time. A voice nearly made him jump.
"Dean Winchester"
Cas immediately grips on to his friend's arm looking concerned.
"Dean what's wrong?"
"It's Michael. He spoke to me."
"What did he say?"
"My name."
Rowena chuckles. "No thank you or anything like that."
Dean heard the archangel sigh in his head.
I'm gonna have to get used to this he thought.
"You will adjust to it. Give it time."
Dean frowns.
Damm he can hear my thoughts as well
"Yes I can"
Dean puts the weirdness to the side and focuses back on the mission.
"Where are they? Can you sense them? "
"I can."
Dean hears Michael muttering to himself. Dean scowls at him.
Can you hurry up he says to him in his mind.
"Dean I have been locked away in a cage. Haven't used my powers for a very long time. So please try to be patient."
I ain't got time to be patient. I need to know where they are now.
"They are in a church."
Okay which one?
While Michael and Dean were having their conversation, Cas and Rowena stare at them eager to know what they were saying to each other. Dean looks at them and nods.
"Okay I know where they are ." He says to them.
"Where are they?" Cas asks.
Dean shakes his head .
"Sorry Cas you're not coming."
"Dean. What are you talking about of course I'm coming."
"No. I'm not putting anymore people in danger. I have to do this alone Cas. "
"No. No Dean that is not a wise idea." Michael's wings flutter ready to go. Cas hears. He looks at Dean "Dean don't even think about it. "
Dean gives him an apologetic look.
"I'm sorry Cas"
Seconds later Dean vanished.
The blade remained on the ground. Jack or Sam have not touched it or had thoughts of using it to kill. Lucifer was at first looking back and forth at them curious to see who would pick it up. Later on He started getting bored.
He yawns "Oh come on. We been standing here for a while now. When is someone going to pick it up."
"I'm not." Jack says with a glare.
Lucifer rolls his eyes "What about you Sam. It's on the ground calling for you .Pick me up Sammy pick me up."
Sam glares at him.
"We are not doing this. We told you and we'll tell you again. No"
Lucifer chuckles "You know I can murder you both and end all life in the universe. Remake it in my image, better than dad ever could. I'm thinking...fire breathing dragons, sassy talking robots. I might give humans another chance if they know their place and worship me. But hey it will probably take a few days to unravel the universe, maybe uh seven, ten days tops . So maybe just maybe one of you could stop me. Maybe let's see."
Lucifer's eyes shift downwards looking at the blade. Sam looks at the blade and looks back at Jack. This has gone on far too long. Sam takes a deep breath and picks up the blade.
Jack looks at Sam feeling shocked. Was Sam really going to kill him? Even after considering him as family?
Lucifer grins at Sam.
That's right Sammy. Now do it.
Sam looks into Jack's defeated, sad eyes.
Jack shakes his head at him.
His not really going to do it is he?
Jack went confused when the blade got placed in his hand. He furrows his eyebrows at Sam. Sam gestures to the blade .
"Kill me" he says.
Jack again shakes his head. Did Sam just say that to him?
"What?"
"Kill me." Sam repeats .
"No"
" You can stop him Jack. You can get your power back ."
"No, I...I c...can't. I can't beat him." Jack takes several steps back "But you can."
Sam furrows his eyebrows. Even Lucifer raises his eyebrow.
"What"
Jack nods "I know you can."
Jack turns the blade towards himself. Sam's eyes widen.
"No, no, no , no. Jack. " Jack starts aiming the blade towards his stomach "Don't Jack. No"
Jack looks at him.
"I love you. I love all you."
Then he pushes the blade in. Blood began pouring out as the blade slowly started making its way in.
"Jack don't...DON'T."
Jack grunts clenching his teeth. He ignored Sam's screams.
It's for the best Sam .You are the one that can fight him not me. I will treasure everything that you all have done for me
A blinding bright light stops the nephilim from continuing .Sam shuts his eyes tight. Jack glances over and shuts his eyes.
Dean appears out of the light. His eyes glowing. Michael's wings appear as two giant shadows spreading out across the walls. The wings were magnificent, beautiful.
The light dims down. Sam opens his eyes and removes his hand. He looks at his brother with his mouth dropped open.
What the hell did Dean do? he then had a thought remembering AU Michael's damaged vessel. Horror appears on his face His gone and said yes to Michael. Shit Dean no. Why did you do that?
"Dean " He calls out.
Dean looks over at his direction. Sam studied his brother's face wondering if it was his brother or Michael. A grin forms on his brother's face.
"Hiya Sammy."
is Michael going to stick to the deal?
Are they going to beat the devil?
Find out in the next chapter :D
