Chapter 3: John Constantine's Rebirth
Chuck sighed before he walked up as he said, "I've heard that quite a lot. However, if I intervened with humanity much free will would be non-existent for humanity much like it was for the angels in heaven before Castiel changed things. Tell Sam and Dean that I'm sorry about Castiel, but I don't have the time to resurrect him right now." Suddenly a strikingly beautiful woman with the Mark of Cain near her left shoulder appeared and said, "So this is where you are? Why did you enter a human's mind? Wait.. his father was ...a demon. That's disgusting." John finally couldn't take it and yelled, "Oh shut the fuck up! Who are you to look down on me?!" The woman glared at him and prepared to strike but Chuck said, "Amara, don't even think about it. Humans don't like being called disgusting especially if they're being called that because of their parentage. In any case he's not just any human. He is currently at a pivotal point in his life as well as the direction of the universe." John stared in confusion at Chuck and Chuck smiled before he said, "If you choose one of these two choices, the direction of the universe is decided at that point. The choices are you can become an archangel or stay as a man and live life as a hunter. As a Hunter you will have more chances of dying and the Winchesters will more than likely not ever trust you again. You will also be unable to help as much people As an archangel you can travel to any point in time you want, but if you change the past the present will change drastically. You can teleport anywhere in the world as well. You can help more people as an archangel, and the Winchesters will trust you again a lot sooner. What do you choose?" John thought for a few minutes before he asked, "As an archangel would I be allowed free will? For example, live as a human? I'd also like to eat my favorite foods and be able to taste them. There would be a lot of things, I'd miss from my human life."
Chuck stared at John before he said with relief, "You would be able to taste all the foods that you like as well as do all the activities that you like. Just don't kill angels unless they go rogue. I advise you to not advertise it though. It is clear that you have made your choice." Back in the bunker John was twitching about as the Rider was trying to resist the exorcism as Sam yelled, "MONSTRUM SEPARARE HOMINEM ET MITTERE IN GEHENNAM!" John finally stopped twitching as a fiery colored smoke exited his mouth and vanished through the floor as it headed towards hell. However, when John started glowing Sam had to hide his eyes as he widened his eyes in surprise and confusion. When the light faded Sam looked up and saw John snap his fingers causing the demon restraining cuffs to open. "How? What?" said Sam stupidly as John stood up and walked towards him. "The man I was an hour ago was not me. It was Crowley reincarnated. I am now an archangel of the lord, but I'm still the same as we first met. Minus the demonic half of me, of course." said John right before he touched Sam healing all the injuries the demons gave him back at the palace. "As for how I can to be like this, Chuck made me an archangel. I'm still human where it counts though. I can eat my favorite foods and actually taste them, and do other human stuff. I also have my free will. I know I won't have your trust for a while, but I'll do whatever I have to in order to regain it. I also know that I can't replace Cas, and I will never try to." continued John before he healed Dean and vanished. "What do you mean you exorcised the Rider out of him?!" Dean demanded angrily a few hours later after they returned to their usual table. "I exorcised him, because we owed him that much. He killed Abaddon and helped return you to human, or did you forget that!" Sam yelled back with as much anger. Dean swung at Sam, but his punch never connected with Sam's face because John appeared and grabbed his arm.
"Dean. Stop." said John with a serious tone. Dean whirled on him and pulled out the demon killing knife to stab John with it. After Dean stabbed John, he raised an eyebrow and looked down at the knife that Dean stuck in his chest. "What? How?" said Dean with confusion as he watched John pull the knife out of his chest before he healed himself. "You explain it to him, Sam. I'm going to get an extra large cheese pizza with extra cheese from Papa John's. Anyone want anything?" Sam shook his head while Dean glared at John with suspicion before John disappeared in the next second. "What the hell is he now, Sam?" demanded Dean angrily and waited impatiently for Sam to reply. "He's an archangel of the lord. Chuck turned him into one. I don't know why, so don't ask me. Besides who knows why he does anything." Dean made an expression to indicate that he agreed with Sam's last sentence, and a few seconds later John returned with ten boxes of pizza as well as twenty boxes of pie for Dean. "Here's some pie for you Dean. Here's a pizza for you guys as well. I'll be right back." said John after he placed the boxes down and right before he disappeared again. Dean glared at the pies for a few seconds before he grabbed one and sat down to eat it. "No matter how angry you are at him, you can't resist pie can you." said Sam in a calmer amused tone as he smirked. Dean put the forkful of pie down and pushed it away as he said, "You're right. I shouldn't be eating this. It's pie bought with blood." Sam sighed before he whacked Dean in the back of the head as he walked away. "Bitch!" yelled Dean angrily before Sam yelled back with irritation, "Jerk!" Even though neither of them new it they laughed internally as their moods calmed down. Meanwhile, John arrived at his former palace and found that his car was not where he last saw it. Out of the corner of his eye he saw a demon and noticed that it was hideous but he decided to walk towards it.
The demon turned around just in time to be grabbed by the neck by John who demanded, "Where's the Ghost Rider's car!" The demon stared in fear at John as he stammered, "L-l-l-lockdown i-in t-the g-g-g-garage." John placed his palm on the demon's head and killed it leaving a corpse with burned out eyes. Once he found his car demons surrounded him and said, "Do we know you? Wait a minute! It can't be!" John turned towards him and glowed as he stared at them with glowing blue eyes and shadows of wings behind him. "Run! Get out of here!" yelled one of the demons before John raised his hand right before a flare of light surrounded him killing them dead. In the next two seconds he and his car were gone from the garage, and at the bunker's garage. Dean was glaring at the pies when John walked back into the room Dean was in. Dean was quiet as John ate the pizza with a satisfied look on his face. "I missed pizza. The days I was the Rider I was physically unable to taste food." said John after he finished one box of pizza. Dean didn't even look at him for a few minutes before he said, "Look. There's no way I'm going to forgive you from killing two of my friends. Sam seems to be willing to, and that's all fine and dandy. However, after today I'll kill you myself." John looked at him for a few seconds before he said, "When I killed your friends, it wasn't me." which caused Dean to roll his eyes in disbelief before John continued, "It was Crowley. He had reincarnated inside me. When I killed Chuck, he had taken control because Chuck had shot me. He took it personal when I was shot." Dean stared at him before he grunted and said, "Sounds like Crowley. I assume you were a backup copy of him incase he died? Which received a nod from John, and Dean started being nicer to him even though he didn't even mean it completely.
