A New Order

by TimeLordPrime

In this story, the timeline of Supernatural is changed forever as Gabriel survives Lucifer's attack in Hammer of the Gods and returns after Lucifer and Michael are trapped in the cage to guide the universe in a different direction than the one that it would have gone in without him. Gabriel has a plan to make everything better now, and it all seems to center around Jo Harvelle.

4. Meet the New Boss

CHAPTER 4

I do not own Supernatural or Doctor Who and I am making no profit off of this.

MEET THE NEW BOSS. SHE'S DEFINITELY NOT THE SAME AS THE OLD BOSS.

Jo stared off into space with no trace of emotion on her face as Dean watched her in concern. She had been like that for some time now, and he wondered if this was the way that she was going to be from now on. He worried that she would become cold and distant like the other angels that he had come across. He didn't want to lose her again, and he certainly didn't want to lose her by having her become like one of them.

"It's not going to happen. Not if I have anything to say about it," Jo said as her face suddenly lit up in a smile.

"What's not?" Dean asked as he tried to act like he had no idea what she was talking about.

"You're setting over there worrying about me like an old woman, Dean. I'm not becoming one of them. I'm still full of emotions, all of them good and not vengeful. What I was doing was searching for my mother. I've got all of these new senses now that let me find anything. Anything except for her apparently so I don't see what good they are to me right now," Jo said in frustration.

"Anything? So you could find anything that's lost like the Lost Dutchman's Gold Mine, the Holy Grail, the Ark of the Covenant, or Crowley's reputation after you humiliated him?" Dean asked.

"Good one. I see that you still haven't lost that sarcastic attitude of yours. Yeah I can find almost anything including angels who don't want me to know that they're spying on me," Jo said.

She then proceeded to make a sudden grasping movement as she seemed to grab onto something that wasn't there. Dean was beginning to wonder if she was losing it when Castiel suddenly appeared out of nowhere. She had her hand on his shoulder.

"Did you think that I wouldn't see you? I don't appreciate you spying on me, Castiel. If you want to know what I'm up to, just come up to me and ask me like a normal person," Jo said in a furious voice

"You've been spying on us all of this time? What's the matter with you?" Dean asked as he became angry too now.

"I was obeying orders. I was told to watch you in secret and report on your progress," Castiel said.

"Whose orders?" Jo asked.

"Gabriel's," Castiel said.

"Since when do you take orders from the Trickster?" Dean asked in disbelief.

"I'm been taking his orders since I talked to Joshua. He said that Gabriel was acting under orders himself this time. He said that this current plan of Gabriel's came straight from God," Castiel said.

"What?" Jo asked in complete surprise.

"Joshua said that God wants the fighting between the angels to end. He wants a new order to be set up in order to keep Heaven from falling apart. He's using Gabriel to do that. He wants him to lead the resistance against Raphael in secret through me until you're ready for the job. I'm supposed to keep watching you until I'm sure that you're ready and then go tell Gabriel," Castiel explained.

"Well, now you're got new orders. From me. No more spying on me. If you want to hang around, I don't mind that. I kind of want you to be here to be honest. I need someone around to tell me how to do things and what's what. No more doing it in secret though. From now on, you're going to show yourself to me, got it?" Jo said.

"Yes," Castiel said as he kneeled before her.

"Stop that. I don't like that. I may be an angel now, but I don't deserve to be reverenced that way. I'm just Jo, alright? I'm not something holy or profound. I'm just me," Jo said in a very uncomfortable voice.

Castiel got to his feet and began to smile. He liked that answer. It showed that she was worthy of the power that had been given to her. That was one of the tests that Gabriel had told him to give to her.

Dean was smiling as well. That told him all that he needed to know about the possibility of Jo becoming like one of them.

"I won't do that anymore, and I'll be sure to stay visible from now on," Castiel said.

"Good. So you went to see Joshua?" Jo asked.

"Yes," Castiel said.

"Did he say anything about my mother?" Jo asked.

"No. I didn't ask him," Castiel said.

"She's missing and I can't find her! It didn't occur to you to ask him about her? Not once?!" Jo asked as she flew into a rage.

"I'm sorry. I was more focused on the war in heaven at that moment since my brothers and sisters were dying all around me," Castiel said in a cold voice.

Jo's rage was quenched then as she said, "I'm sorry. You have problems of your own I know. I shouldn't have snapped at you like that. I'm just so worried about her."

"It's understandable. I should have asked about her as well," Castiel said.

"I want to talk to him," Jo said.

"That's not a good idea right now," Castiel said in alarm.

"Jo, you can't do that. You're going right into the middle of a war zone. That's just crazy especially with Raphael gunning for you," Dean warned.

"If it were your mother, would you hesitate to do anything that might help you find her no matter how dangerous?" Jo asked him.

"No," Dean admitted.

"Neither will I," Jo said.

"I can go with you if you want," Castiel said.

"No. It will be harder to find me if it's just me. I'll sneak in under the radar, talk to Joshua, and sneak back out before he even knows that I'm there. I'm just as powerful as he is, right? I can hide myself from him and all of the rest of the angels with ease," Jo said confidently.

"You're more powerful than he is according to Gabriel and Joshua," Castiel said.

"It didn't feel like it when I fought him before," Jo said in a scared voice.

"That's because you don't know how to use your powers yet, and you haven't gotten over your fear of death. Once those two things happen, then Raphael won't be able to stand against you. No angel except possibly Michael and Lucifer would stand a chance against you at full power and maybe not even them," Castiel said.

"How am I that powerful and why?" Jo asked.

"You'll need to be in order to run things," Castiel said.

"I don't want to run things. I never asked for that," Jo said.

"It seems to be what God wants you to do," Castiel said.

"I'm going to ask Joshua about that too then. I need to be sure if that's really what God wants or not for myself. I need to hear it from him personally," Jo said.

"I'll tell you how to get there," Castiel said as he put his hand on Jo's head.

"Whoa!" Jo said as all of the information on how to navigate through Heaven to get to Joshua's garden suddenly sprang into her mind at Castiel's touch.

"Who needs maps with you around?" Jo said with a smile.

"Why would you need a map?" Castiel asked in confusion.

"Never mind," Jo said with a smile.

"I think that I should go with you," Dean said.

"You have to be an angel or dead to get into Heaven, Dean," Jo said.

"So? I die all the time and come back. I'm sure I could come up with some way to do it while making sure that I can come back," Dean said.

"Don't even think about it," Jo said.

"What?" Dean asked.

"You know what. Don't even think about going through with that stupid plan in your mind that you're thinking about right now. You're thinking about paying some doctor that you know to kill you and bring you back to life so that you can go with me," Jo said.

"It won't be that bad. He says that he has a 75% success rate at bringing people back. Even if he can't, you can. So what's the problem?" Dean asked.

"The problem is I don't want you to die, you moron. Even if I can just bring you back, it wouldn't feel right to me to have you kill yourself for me. So you're not doing it. Got it?" Jo said.

"Fine. I'll stay alive then. Whatever you want, okay? Since when did you get so bossy anyway?" Dean asked.

"Since always. I'll be fine, okay? I'm supposed to be an uberangel now so you don't have to worry about me," Jo said as she tenderly kissed his cheek.

Dean began to blush and so did Jo. She quickly left before things got anymore awkward and all that Dean heard was a rustling of wings to mark her departure.

"Why did both of you grow silent like that and start blushing just before she left?" Castiel asked.

"I don't know what you're talking about," Dean said as he quickly left.

Anna started laughing nearby surprising even herself. She had been watching all of this the whole time, and Castiel's lack of understanding of human emotion amused her. Still her laughter surprised her. It seemed more like something that Anna Milton would do instead of Anna the angel.

"Do you understand what just happened?" Castiel asked.

"Yes, I do. Maybe if I work at it, you'll finally understand it too someday. Maybe I'll make you more human yet, Castiel," Anna said as she gave him a quick kiss on the lips.

"What was that about?" Castiel asked in surprise.

Anna looked at him in shock and couldn't speak for a moment. Now she knew that something was wrong with her. She was acting like a human. Now that that was a bad thing, but she couldn't understand why she was doing it.

"I don't know. I'm sorry," Anna finally said.

"Sorry for what? I didn't say that I didn't like it. I just wondered why you did it," Castiel said.

"I'm not sure myself. Maybe I should be asking Gabriel or Joshua some questions myself," Anna said as she walked away from him in deep thought.

As Castiel was finally left to himself, he said, "Oh, they like each other. Is that it?"

Sam and Jessica meanwhile were watching all of this with a little surprise on their faces. They weren't surprised at how clueless Castiel was. That was old news. They were surprised at Anna.

"What's up with her? She never acted like this once she became an angel," Sam said.

"I think it's cute. She likes him. More power to her I say," Jessica said happily.

Sam smiled at her and kissed her tenderly. He was so glad to have her back. He still couldn't believe that she was real. He still kept expecting to find out that this was all a dream or a trick somehow. It was his usual luck that whenever something good happened to him that someone or something always came along to try to take it away. He really didn't want that to happen to him this time. He didn't think that he could bear losing her a second time.

"Will you stop looking at me like that?" Jessica said.

"Like what?" Sam asked.

"Like I'm going to fall to pieces at any minute if you don't keep a tight grip on me at all times. I'm okay, Sam. I've found out that I'm pretty tough. Nothing's killed me so far, and I've been attacked by a lot of different demons and monsters. I'm starting to think that nothing can hurt me. I don't know whether to be happy about that or sad. I'd really like to ask Bobby some more about it. I really don't know anything about what I am and I want to. I need to know if I'm evil or not," Jessica said.

"Believe me you're not, Jess. There's not an evil bone in your body. You're the sweetest person that I've ever met," Sam said as he kissed her again.

"Of course you think so, but I'd like to hear from Bobby. He's not in love with me after all. He'll give me a more unbiased answer," Jessica said with a smile.

"He's going to say the same thing. You're a good person, Jess. Jo said so too. She should know," Sam said.

"Maybe you're right. I like Jo. She seems like the perfect match for Dean. She doesn't take any of his lip," Jessica said.

"The only problem is that Dean already has a woman in his life," Sam said.

"I have a feeling that's about to change," Jessica said.

"You think that the two of them will get together?" Sam asked.

"Of course. Right now, they're fighting it because Dean still has feelings for the other woman, and Jo is a decent person who doesn't want to take him away from her. I think that sooner or later though they'll both give in. It's inevitable," Jessica said.

"Since when did you become an expert on love?" Sam asked in amusement as he kissed her again.

"I'm not. I just have a feeling about them. It's like they're meant to be, Sam. Don't you feel it?" Jessica asked.

"Since the day he met her," Sam admitted.

"I had that feeling about you too," Jessica said as she kissed him now.

"You were certainly right about that," Sam said as he kissed her back.

Bobby smiled at the two of them as he walked past them on the way to his library to do that research for Jessica that he had overheard her talking about. He hadn't known what to think when Jessica was revealed as a Phoenix, but he trusted his instincts. He felt like that she was just as in love with Sam as she seemed to be and so far if their constant kissing was any proof of it he had been proven to be right. He had come to trust and like Jessica, and he was very glad to see Sam smiling and happy for once after all of the things that he had gone through lately.

Now if only he could get Dean and Jo together. One idjit at a time though.

Meanwhile in Heaven, Jo slowly made her way through as she journeyed to see Joshua. She saw Heaven as a road just like Dean had. She wondered if his story of it had influenced her own perceptions of it.

Suddenly she was surprised to find herself in the roadhouse. She wondered briefly if she was hallucinating, and then she remembered what Dean had said about Ash's heaven. She smiled as she knew where she was now. It would be good to see Ash again.

"Jo, it's so good to see you again, amiga. Sam and Dean said that you were dead. I was hoping that it wasn't true, but I guess they were right," Ash said.

"Well, about that," Jo said.

"It's a good thing that you came in here when you did. The angels are on the prowl looking for someone. It's someone that they want very badly. If one of them came across you traveling from Heaven to Heaven like this during one of their searches, they might have fried you first and asked questions later if you know what I mean. Those boys aren't exactly the touchy feely type you know," Ash said.

"Believe me I know. They're looking for me, Ash. I didn't know that until just now though. I'm sorry. I think I've gotten you into trouble by coming here," Jo said.

"It doesn't matter. I'd do anything for you. You know that. So why are they so mad at you for? Did you smart off to one of them? Please tell me that you got one of them told off really good and kicked them where the sun don't shine. They certainly deserve it," Ash said.

"It's a lot worse than that actually," Jo said.

"Why don't you tell him, Jo? Tell him the truth and quit dancing around it. Are you afraid that he'll hate you once he finds out what you are now?" a familiar voice asked.

"Excuse me but aren't you dead?" Jo asked.

"I was but like you I got better," Zachariah said.

"Let me guess. Raphael brought you back to life. That just gives me yet another reason that I should gank him," Jo said.

"Listen to yourself. You've only been back around Dean for a few days, and you're already starting to talk like him. He really does corrupt angels on a monumental scale, doesn't he? First Anna, then Castiel, and now you. Not that you're a real angel of course. You're just some mongrel half-breed. You're not one of us, and you never will be. We're certainly not going to let you start giving us orders. This is what's going to happen, Jo. If you don't surrender now, we're going to send your mother to the new ruler of Hell. We'll see how much longer you hold out when they set to work on her," Zachariah said.

"I've really come in at the middle of this movie, haven't I? I don't understand one word that this dude is talking about," Ash said.

"I was brought back to life as an angel, Ash. Apparently I'm meant to lead the angels to some new era of peace, but Raphael and old Zach here don't like that idea. I can't say that I'm too fond of it myself since they've kidnapped my mother and are holding her who knows where until I give in to them. I can't find her anywhere, and I've got all kinds of new senses," Jo said.

"Whoa! My mind just got blown! You're one of them now? Really? That is just so cool. It's unfreaking believable. I finally have an angel I actually like and can get behind," Ash said with a huge smile on his face.

"You're not getting behind anyone, maggot. You have no say in this whatsoever. Why don't you just stay out of this? The big people are talking now," Zachariah said.

He gestured at Ash, and he instantly collapsed in pain on the floor. Zachariah was torturing his very soul.

Jo looked at Zachariah in outrage as she yelled, "Leave him alone!"

Jo's eyes glowed white as she snapped her fingers to fix him back. Ash looked at Jo with gratitude as he got back on his feet.

"I could get to liking this. My own personal guardian angel to kick the butt of anybody that picks on me," Ash said.

"It looks like you missed your calling, Zach. Hell's down that way. They'd love you down there from what I hear not that I have personal experience in that kind of thing. Would you like for me to send you there special delivery?" Jo asked.

"You're not doing anything to me, girl. Not if you want your mother back in one piece," Zachariah said.

"I'm looking on my angel tracker now. The two of you are the only dudes with wings around here, Jo. The rest of them are miles away from here. He's the only one who knows that you're even here," Ash said.

"That's true, isn't it?" Jo asked.

"I want all of the credit for bringing you in. I was only brought back because Raphael is convinced that he needs every angel that he can find to use against you. You've got him running scared after you sent him packing like you did. I got demoted for being killed by Dean and losing him as Michael's vessel, and I want my old job back. I want the respect that I lost back, and I'm going to get it by bringing you in personally. I know you, Jo. You're nothing special. You're just a scared little girl who's stepped into some big shoes that she can't possibly fill. You're in way over your head, and I'm going to be the one to put a stop to this little farce right now. Then things will be back as they should be with me at the top of the food chain once again," Zachariah said.

"What makes you think that you can stop me?" Jo asked.

"I've been doing this since this beginning of time, and you just got your powers less than a week ago. You do the math, kid," Zachariah said.

He began to attack her with Holy White Light from his hands which she easily absorbed as if it was nothing. She smiled at him smugly as he looked at her in shock.

"It tickled. Do it again," Jo joked.

"That's not possible. That should have killed you outright. You're not a real angel. You can't be," Zachariah said in confusion.

"I've got news for you, Zach. I am real, and I'm your new boss. Guess what? You're fired," Jo said.

She touched the top of his head, and he exploded into flames and turned into ash in front of her. She grinned as even the ash disintegrated.

"Literally, I'm afraid," Jo joked.

"Man, that is just amazing! I've been looking to see that guy get his for a long time. Everybody around here is afraid of him, even the other angels. I've gotta say that I'm really liking the new you, Jo. Listen, I'm going to help you find Ellen. I travel all over the place going from one Heaven to another anyway so I'll just put a few feelers out while I'm at it. I'll ask around and get together with some of my compadres to pump them for information. I mean I know all of the big shots around here personally so I should find out where she is in no time," Ash said.

"Thanks. I appreciate that. I'm going to ask Joshua if he knows anything, but somehow I feel more confident with you asking around about her. You always seem to come up with information that no one else can get," Jo said.

"That's right. I do. That's because I'm the best. I can find out anything if I just have enough time. How will I get in touch with you if I do find out? I don't exactly have an angel hotline up here," Ash asked.

"Just think about me and concentrate. Tell me what you want me to know then. I'll hear you," Jo said.

"I'll do that. I'll also tell everyone that I come across from now on to support you and help you out. None of them can stand Raphael either. I'll get you a whole underground resistance movement started in no time. We'll help overthrow that sucker for you before you know it. I'm going to like this place a lot better with you running it," Ash said.

"I don't think that's going to happen, Ash. I don't want that job. All I care about is getting my mother back and smoking Raphael. After that, I'll find someone better to run things here. Someone who actually knows what they're doing because that's certainly not me," Jo said.

"I think you're selling yourself a little short there, girl. You've always been very smart and quick to learn. I think you'd make a good boss for this place. You can kick all of those boys in the rump if they don't do right. You won't let them get away with anything anymore. That's probably why the big guy wants you," Ash said.

"I appreciate the encouragement, Ash. I've missed you. It's so good to see you again," Jo said as she hugged him.

"Are you going to come around again? I've missed you too. You're like family," Ash said.

"Of course I will. I'll be back when I can. Right now I'm off to see what Joshua says about everything. I'll see you later, Ash," Jo said.

"Adios, Jo. I'll see you around. Don't worry. I'll let you know what I find out. I'll call you up right away," Ash said.

"Thanks. See you around," Jo said as she left in the blink of an eye.

"That is so cool. My friend is going to be the new top dog around here. Awesome!" Ash said to himself with a huge grin.

Jo reappeared in a huge garden. She walked around it in amazement. It looked just like she had always imagined that the Garden of Eden would have looked. There were trees everywhere and long flowing strands of grass that rustled in the cool breeze that blew through the air. It was quite different from what Dean had told her about it.

"Everyone sees it differently," Joshua said as he suddenly appeared in front of her.

"Hello, Sir. It's very nice to meet you," Jo said in her most formal voice.

"What's with the Sir?" Joshua said amused.

"I just wanted to be respectful. I don't know the way that you address an angel that you're not trying to defend your life from. Well, there's Castiel and Anna, but they're more like friends. I feel at ease around them because I know them," Jo said.

"You can talk that way to me too then because I would like to be your friend as well, Joanne. You don't ever have to call me Sir. I'm much more informal than a lot of the angels around here. Besides it should probably be me showing respect to you, but I know that you hate all of that kneeling stuff," Joshua said.

"I can't stand it. How about we make a deal? I don't act all formal with you if you don't do all of that bowing and scraping to me. By the way, my friends call me Jo," Jo said as she started to relax around him. She found herself liking him already.

"It's very nice to meet you, Jo. I know why you're here, but you can go ahead and ask me your questions anyway," Joshua said.

"I want to know if you know where my mother is, and I'd like to know what God said about me. Why was I brought back as an angel?" Jo asked.

"I don't know where your mother is. I'm sorry. I'd tell you if I did," Joshua said as he put a sympathetic hand on Jo's shoulder.

"Thank you. I just can't understand. Where could she be that none of us can find her?" Jo asked in an upset voice.

"I don't know. God didn't tell me. He said a few things about you though. He told me everything that I said to Castiel and more," Joshua said.

"So it's true. He does want me to take over. I don't think that I can. I'm not able to do this. What do I know about being the head of the angels?" Jo asked.

"The fact that you don't know anything might be in your favor. You don't have to repeat the same old mistakes that others have made in the past," Joshua said.

"Yeah, I can make all new ones," Jo said.

"You need to listen to your friend, Ash. He was right about you, Jo," Joshua said.

"How do you know about that? Do the others know? Is he in any danger now because of me?" Jo asked with worry.

"No. The others don't know. I only do because God just told me about it. He told me that you were coming and why. He's watching you, Jo. He's been watching you from the beginning of all of this," Joshua said.

"What else did he say about me besides what you told Castiel?" Jo asked.

"He believes in you, Jo. He knows that you can do this even if you don't. He needs you to know that. He wants you to do it. He wants you to fix things here and make this about helping humanity once again like it was in the beginning. We're supposed to be here to take care of the universe and humanity not to destroy them. Somewhere along the way most of us forgot about that," Joshua said.

"If he wants me to win this, why doesn't he tell me where my mother is? I need to find her," Jo said.

"You can find her. All you have to do is look, and I can already tell you where not to look. She's not in Heaven, Hell, or Earth," Joshua said.

"Where else does that leave?" Jo asked in frustration.

"You'll find out soon," Joshua said.

"I'm asking you now. If you really want to be my friend, please help me find her," Jo said as she came close to tears now.

"I can't. I don't know where she is. All God said is that you would find out soon where she was, and then he told me to tell you where she wasn't to give you a little help," Joshua said.

"I understand. You're just telling me what you know. I guess I'll go now. Maybe Ash will come up with something," Jo said sadly.

"Jo, God said that you would come up against many challenges, but that you could overcome all of them. He knows you well enough to know that you can survive what's coming your way. You have to believe that. He also said that soon you would face an even worse enemy than Raphael. One of humanity's deadliest enemies is about to come to Earth, Jo. You have to keep an eye out for her. She wants to give the Earth over to her children and to wipe out everyone else on the planet in the process. She's someone who even the angels fear, Jo. So you'll have to beware of her," Joshua warned.

"Who is she?" Jo asked.

"She's the mother of all monsters. Every monster that you and the other hunters have ever fought comes from her. Her name is Eve. She's coming soon, and we will need you to stop her since Raphael doesn't care about anything but the war here," Joshua said.

"Great. So I've got to battle both Raphael and this new girl. Wonderful! It just keeps getting better," Jo said with a sigh.

"There is another enemy as well that you haven't heard about yet," Joshua said.

"Go ahead, tell me the rest of the good news," Jo said.

"Hell has a new ruler now," Joshua said.

"Yeah, Zach told me about that before I fired him," Jo said with a grin.

Joshua began to chuckle at that, and Jo knew that he knew what she had done to Zachariah as well. Apparently God had told him the whole story.

"Who is it? Is it Meg or Crowley?" Jo asked.

"You'll see," Joshua said with an enigmatic smile.

"You're never going to give me a straight answer on some things, are you?" Jo asked with a smile of her own.

"As a very wise and profound person once said, 'Spoilers!'" Joshua said with a chuckle.

"I have no idea who you're talking about, but I bet that they were probably as annoying as you when it came to telling the future. Thanks for your help anyway, Joshua. I'll see you around," Jo said as she started to leave.

"I'm sorry, Jo. I would help you find her if I could," Joshua said.

"Thank you. Is it okay if I come back here sometimes just to talk? I may need some advice every once in a while," Jo said.

"Of course. You're always welcome to visit anytime, Boss," Joshua said.

"Don't get used to calling me that. I'm not going to be the boss for long even if I do win. It's just not me. I'm a hunter. That's who I am, and who I want to be," Jo said.

"You can help people against the monsters and other dangerous enemies on the Earth so much more in your new position, Jo. You can be the ultimate hunter if you will," Joshua said.

"Maybe. I'll see you later. Good bye, Joshua. It was nice meeting you. It's good to know that Castiel and Anna aren't the exceptions, and that there are some good angels out there," Jo said.

"Oh, I almost forgot. I need to tell you something about Anna as well," Joshua said.

"What?" Jo asked in sudden fear. Was he going to tell her that Dean was right about her?

"No, Dean is wrong. Anna is completely loyal to you. She's been sent to help you. In fact, she's been made more like her human self in order for you to interact with her better. She's been given back the personality and emotions of Anna Milton so that the two of you will get along better and because God knew how sad that she was to leave her human life behind. He wanted to give some of that back to her. You can explain that to her when you see her again. She's going to be very confused right about now about herself. Her emotions are starting to show already," Joshua said.

"I thought that there was something different about her. So it's true that she wasn't to blame for attacking Dean's family?" Jo asked.

"Yes. She was being used by someone else. Someone who wanted the Winchesters out of the way. You'll find that out later as well," Joshua said.

"It's always later with you, isn't it?" Jo asked with a warm smile.

"Good bye, Jo. You should probably head back to Earth now before you're discovered. I can feel them nearby even now," Joshua said.

"Got it. I'll see you later," Jo said as she vanished.

"So what do you think?" Chuck asked as he suddenly appeared beside Joshua.

"I think that she's the right choice. She's very brave and courageous. She's also kind and compassionate," Joshua said.

"I told you so. I put some of my best work into her. She's going to make us all proud. She just has to get over her fears first. That might take a while," Chuck said.

"I'm certainly rooting for her. She'll be much better than Raphael," Joshua said.

"That's true. Raphael has really let me down with how power hungry that he's become. I never wanted that for him. It's disappointing really. Since when did you start quoting River Song anyway?" Chuck asked with a grin.

Joshua only smiled.

Meanwhile in the depths of Hell as there were screams all around them everywhere, two women walked along enjoying the scenery. They were proud of what they had done here. They had truly gotten this place back into perfect shape from the mess that it had been left in before in their opinion by Crowley.

"It's so good to have him out of here. Most of the others turned against him after Jo humiliated him the way that she did. Everyone saw how she had him completely at her mercy and kept making him pop in and out whenever she felt like it. No one respects a boss who gets completely humbled by the competition," Meg said.

"No, they don't. I never liked Crowley anyway. I'm glad that he's headed for the hills. Remind me to send some of our best people out there to hunt him down and kill him. Don't let anyone know that it's me behind things though. I want everyone to think that it's still you calling the shots around her. No one needs to know that I've returned yet," the second woman said.

"I won't say a word. I owe you for bringing my father back even if it was only for a short while. No one sacrificed as much as you did in trying to help him," Meg said.

"It was still all for nothing though. The Apocalypse turned out to be a big disappointment thanks to Sam. I should have known that he'd pull something like that. After all who knows him better than me, right?" the second woman said.

"Don't tell me that you still have feelings for him even after what he did?" Meg asked in disbelief.

"I can't help it. I actually do still have a certain soft spot for him. Not that that's going to keep me from killing him the next time that we meet. Of course I'm going to try one last time to get him on our side again first," the second woman said.

"I can't believe you. You're an incurable romantic, aren't you?" Meg said as she laughed at her.

"You fell for him too, Meg. Don't tell me that you don't know why I'm doing this. He's worth the effort. I promise if he doesn't come around this time though that I'll kill him. I won't give him a second chance to kill me again," the second woman said in an almost sad voice.

"I just hope that you won't regret this, Ruby. I've heard that he has someone else in his life now. I really don't think that you've got a shot," Meg said.

"We'll see about that. As for little Miss Jessica, I'll just have to make him forget all about her all over again just like I did before. Sam Winchester is going to be mine whether she likes it or not," Ruby said with an eager smile on her face.

Next: Jessica might have something to say about that next time as Ruby returns to recruit Sam to her side. The Queen of Hell it seems wants a King, and she's picked Sam to be it. I'm sure that you're really surprised by that, aren't you? Also Jo finds out more about Eve from Bobby as she starts preparing for her return. Bobby also tells Jessica more about the Phoenix side of herself. Where is Ellen anyway? We'll find out next time from Ash. I'm sure that some of you have already guessed.
