Rowena stood dumbfounded by what the nephilim said.
"What?"
"I need you to find Mary. I lost her."
"You lost her?"
"I..." Jack anxiously runs his fingers along his hair.. "I...I sent her somewhere don't know where."
"Sent her somewhere?"
"It was an accident. I swear I didn't mean to." Rowena gives the nephilim a concerned look over feeling uneasy about the situation. "Rowena please. I need to find her before Sam and Dean realize she's gone."
"Sam Dean...Jack they don't know!"
"No and they can't know. If they find out what I did they will never trust me to use my powers again. Dean he will..."
Jack didn't even want to think what the older Winchester will do. The Winchester who Jack wanted to impress. Their relationship has grown Dean was one of Jack's fathers. Now it was at risk of falling apart.
Rowena places her hand on the stressed nephilim's shoulder.
"Jack." She says. She leads Jack to the sofa and sits him down. She sits next to him with her hands on her lap. "Jack." She looks at the kid straight in the eyes "I want you to tell me everything. From the start."
"But..."
"If you want me to help you then you need to tell me exactly what happened."
Jack plays with his hands nervously.
"I um me and Mary we went after Nick. Nick was trying to resurrect Lucifer."
Rowena's eyes widen.
"He what!"
"Lucifer didn't get through I sent him back. Nick, I did what I thought was the right thing to do. I made Nick suffer. He deserved it Rowena." Jack looked angrily at the witch. "He hurt people. He hurt my family. He deserved it. Mary disagreed. She thought it was wrong. She told me to stop. I wouldn't listen. She kept yelling at me to stop so I did but it was too late Nick was dead."
Rowena listened and nodded encouraging the nephilim to continue.
"Mary wasn't happy. She said what I was wrong and she was gonna tell Sam and Dean. I couldn't let that happen. Then there was this noise. This ringing in my head. I couldn't get it to stop. Mary...she wouldn't leave me alone I told her to leave me alone but she just wouldn't LISTEN."
Rowena goes back by Jack's sudden change in volume. Jack rubs his fore head, his eyes shut, worry lines appear on his face. The witch moves and leans forward. She eyes Jack up and down with a worried expression.
"Then she was gone." Jack whispered.
Rowena stayed silent unsure what to say. Jack sent Mary somewhere. Was Mary alive? The Winchesters were oblivious to what was going on. Rowena knew she should tell them because Mary is their mom but part of Rowena feared what the consequences would be if she opened her mouth.
Rowena has a soft spot for the kid but when the brothers admitted to using that magic to bring him back, Rowena immediately saw red. It was bad news. Magic that tampers with the soul should not be touched. Rowena knew when someone gets brought back with magic they are usually never the same. Rowena's fears about Jack are starting to come true.
"Can you help me?" Jack asks.
Jack gives Rowena the full puppy eyes look that he picked up from Sam. Rowena wanted to turn away but she couldn't the nephilim was staring right at her. She feared to turn away in case he flipped. If he had his father's temper, Rowena did not want to be in the same room and see that.
"I can't promise you that I will find her but I will try." Rowena answers. She stands up her shoulders tense. "Let me set up then I'll do the spell."
Jack nods.
"Thank you." He says.
Rowena smiles a little. The worry remained.
She goes to get the ingredients.
Mary ran for a while now. Her heart was pounding against her chest, sweat was pouring down her face, her breaths become shallow. She won't stop. She refuses to stop. If she stops the Devil will catch up. Lucifer couldn't get her. Not again.
In the other world Lucifer tried to use Mary as leverage to get home. The plan failed when the other world Michael turned up. Mary wasn't going to let the Devil use her as leverage this time. No way. She was going to make sure Lucifer stays right where he belongs. He was not getting out with her.
Lucifer steps out in front of Mary. The huntress abruptly stops and nearly falls in the process.
"Yeah I really don't know why you bother Mary. This place is a circle. You are going round and round."
Mary clenches her fists. Her eyes focused on to the enemy in front of her. Lucifer tuts and shakes his head.
"Getting old Mary. I'm pretty sure we been through this before. Me and you, stuck together, you run, I find you and you are stuck with me again. I'm having a Deja Vu moment here."
"You are not getting out of here." Mary says.
"Oh but I am. I have unfinished business."
"Like destroying the world."
"I meant with my son."
"Thought you didn't care about him. Thought you only wanted him for his power."
Lucifer sighs.
"Yes and no. Jack. I do care. He was the one who broke what we had. He chose you, Sam, Dean, Castiel. He chose you over me. Over his own dad."
"You were never a dad to him."
"You never gave me the chance to be one." Lucifer snarled.
"He hates you. He doesn't want you back. He made that clear because he sent you back here."
"He sent you here to."
"Jack doesn't know what he is doing. He didn't mean to send me here. Something is wrong with him."
"Yeah. You and your sons are the reason he is messed up."
"I am being serious. He hasn't been the same. Since he..."
Mary stopped herself from spilling out the information.
"Since he killed me and consumed my grace."
Mary's blood turned cold by the sound of that voice. She looks at Lucifer who was now looking over her with a surprised expression. Mary turns round dreading to see the face to that voice.
Facing back at her was her son. Mary knew it wasn't her son. She looks at the polished shoes, the vintage suit and the cap. The clothes her son came back in after He left him. Her son's face smirked. The expression so foreign to Dean's face.
"Michael." Mary says.
Michael grins.
"Hello Mary."
