All the lonely people.
Where do they all come from?
All the lonely people,
Where do they all belong?
"Eleanor Rigby," The Beatles, performed by Lise & Gertrude
"The first seal is broken," May said, handing a coffee over to Coulson
"So I heard," Coulson responded, taking a sip.
"Only 65 more and Lucifer will rise."
"I am well aware."
"Your enthusiasm overwhelms me."
"Did you expect a different reaction?"
"I'm not sure. Something at least."
"Tell me what intelligence you've picked up."
"The lower demons are celebrating, and the high ones are making plans to destroy more seals."
"I figured. There's been more activity lately."
"But that's not what really has them up in arms."
"Well? Don't leave me in suspense."
"A garrison of angels attacked Hell and took Dean Winchester's soul with them. My sources have spotted him above ground – alive."
"Huh. That is something. Why are they breaking their vow of observance now?"
"To prevent Lucifer rising?"
"Or to hasten it."
"Hasten? What – Oh. They want – "
"Maybe. Either way, it doesn't bode well for anyone. Lucifer cannot be allowed to rise. They're all fools if they think life will become paradise with his coming."
"Next move?"
"The Winchesters will have too many already watching them for us to do so unobserved. Let's put another set of eyes on Stark. If Dean Winchester is at the heart of what's to come, then we need to have access to the heart of Dean Winchester."
"With lines like that, I'll be buying you sunglasses soon."
"I could use a new pair."
AN: I really wish fanfic dot net would allow more than two fandom options for crossovers. :(
