"Brother?" Castiel appeared at Gabriels house. Gabe clicked off the T.V quickly and stood up and looked at his brother.
"Cas?" He greeted. Cas glanced from the Tv to his brother and raised his eyebrows. Gabe swallowed. "Ahem, did they get to the taxi alright?" He asked.
"well, they got to Ajay just fine" Cas said.
"Now we just have to wait" Gabe finished. Cas sighed. He hated that he couldn't do anything more for her. He hated just sitting around waiting. HE needed to do something, he should be there with them getting Madi. but he knew he couldn't, hed only be putting them in more danger than they already were. But he couldn't just sit here and hope, he couldn't just sit around and wait while Madison was suffering in Hell. He felt useless.
"I can't just sit here and wait." He said aloud. Gabe looked at him.
"I know, neither can I, but we've done all we could for her and for them. we found them a taxi driver. When we were looking for him, this is what they were doing now its our turn" Gabriel said. Cas sighed and looked down. "Hey," Gabe said softly. Cas looked up at his older brother "They are going to be okay, they are the Winchesters and Bobby Singer. Madison is the luckiest girl in the world to have the three most talented hunters and a pretty famous, powerful, handsome angel and you looking after her" Gabe smiled and walked over to him and pulled him into a hug. "they will be okay" He said again.
"I know, I just feel useless," Cas said. Gabe pulled back from the hug and grabbed Cas's shoulders.
"Don't, you were the one that found Ajay and convinced him to take them into Hell" Gabe said, "wait here for me okay?" Gabe said.
"Can we watch something other than the pizza man?" Cas asked.
"I wasn't- ah, nevermind yes I was. And yeah you don't watch porn with another dude" Gabe said and sat on the arm chair, "Have a seat its gonna be a long day" Gabe said. He was doing everything he could not to admit he was feeling the same way Castiel was.

"YOU CANT DO THIS!" Donovan yelled as he was being dragged into a small room with a heavy door.
"WE really have no other choice son" Lucifer said walking behind the four demons throwing the knight into the room.
"I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING WRONG!" Donovan struggled against them.
"Shut up" one of the demons said as he shut the door and locked it. Donovan ran up to the little vars in a little square in the door.
"Father please" he begged the demons walked away and Lucifer looked at Donovan. "Dad, shes just a five year old " Donovan said. "I'm sorry Donovan" lucifer said.
"Please, Let me out" Donovan begged "ill stay out of your way. I wont talk to Madison or Alec anymore"
"I don't want to do this, believe me, but I have to" Lucifer said
"Why? What could be the advantage to locking your son in a prison in hell after trying to save his little sister" Donovan growled. Lucifer sighed sadly and looked at Donovan once more and turned and walked away.
"FATHER! DON'T WALK AWAY FROM ME! YOU COWARD! FATHER!" Donovan yelled Once Lucifer was around the corner Donovan stopped yelling. "Dad?" He called out quietly. Donovan sighed and turned around and looked at the room. It was damp cold and dark with nothing in it but old blood stains and lumps of mystery things that Donovan didn't want to think about.
"GGGGRRRRRRRRRRR" he screamed and punched the cement wall, leaving a cracked dent.

Dean sprinted down the endless rows of the cells with Sam and Bobby trailing close behind. The three of them desperately searching in each and every one of them. Hoping to see a familiar small blue eyed and blonde face looking back at them. Distant screams and the smell of rotting bodies filled the air surrounding them. As they were coming to a corner, Dean looked around it. A demon was walking towards them, Dean quickly put his arm out stopping sam and bobby. He signaled to run back the other way. Sam ran as fast as he could and quickly turned the first corner he saw, he pulled bobby in with him and Dean ran past at first, but half a second later he dived into the corner Sam turned down. The three of them were silently pressed up against the wall and waited while the demon past. Luckily he walked right past that corner.
"Dean, we should split up it'll be quicker" Sam whispered
"there's no way in Hell that we are splitting up, no pun intended," Dean said strictly.
"He's right, we should stick together. This is Hell" Bobby said.
"which way should we go?" Sam asked
"how much time do we have left?" Dean asked. Sam looked at his watch.
"uh we've still got 15 hours," Sam said
still? more like already" Dean said "we'll go down this way" Dean said and started sprinting down the hallway of rusty bars. Behind each set of rotting bars there was a bloodied soul. A beaten up tortured soul. Some of them were screaming or rambling to themselves. Some of them lay in limp clumps in the darkest corner of their cells, slowly moving unable to die. A few of them just sat with their knees pulled up against them staring into oblivion. Dean looked at each and every one of them. Trying not to think of his time here, same with Sam. They swallowed back the horrific memories and kept running. Dean suddenly recognized the hallway he was in. It was the hallway they kept him in. He recognized some of those poor souls, in worse condition than when he left. Dean wondered how many years its been for them, how many times they were put in the chair, how many times they've offered a chance to switch places, and they were still there dealing with the torturing instead of finally saying yes instead of getting off the rack like Dean had. Dean swallowed and shook his head he glanced at his cell, he could still see a faint outline of the Devils trap he made with his blood.
"D-Dean?" A woman said weakly from that cell. Dean froze he knew that voice. No, it can't be her.
"Jo?" Dean said. Sam and Bobby froze as well.
"I- w-what- why" Jo said weakly.
"Long story. Jo what the hell? why are you here? Is ellen here?" Dean said going to the familiar bars. He remembered every nick of them, every inch of rust. They were all still there, among new ones. Jo looked up at him. "you're getting out of here" Dean said.
"Can we do that? Are we only allowed one soul to bring back?" Bobby asked
"were not even allowed one soul back" Sam said
"good point" Bobby said.
"i dont want to live" Jo said
"We'll get you to heaven" Dean said trying not to choke. "here, quickly hold out your arm" DEan said. Jo stuck her arm through the bars Dean took the knife and cut his inner forearm. He took Jos arm in his hand and made a cut. Blue light escaped from her arm and she faded into the blue light and it went into Deans arm.
"13 hours Dean lets get going" Sam said. The three of them continued sprinting down the hall.

"What do you mean you lost her?" Crowley asked angrily.
"the hell-hound helped her" Len said nervously "that and she bit me"
"DAMMIT LEN! YOU HAD ONE JOB" He yelled
"Im sorry sir, but where exactly did she get a hell hound?" Len asked
"I gave her Kevin, trying to get her on my side for a while to get her secrets and everything"
"Kevin? ou gave her Kevin? Crowley i know that mutt, you knew he was incredibly loyal and he hates you"
"Call him a mutt again and you'll be my replacement for the little girl. Now find her!" Crowley yelled. "but first, get me a coffee" Crowley said
"theres no coffee in hell sir" Len said.
"then go to earth" Crowley whined. "its easy enough for you. or are you going to screw that up as well?"
"Fine" Len snapped "Master" He bowed sarcastically and disappeared.
"What a i going to do with that him?" Crowley asked. Juliet barked once in response.

Crowley was laughing hysterically with a syringe in his hand, Mercy was holding Alec's shoulders as they laughed together. Donovan was holding Madi down in place. Madison screamed in agony.
'how could Alec and Donovan betray me?' she thought. 'they lied' She thought. She did everything she could to get away, to break free from these restraints. Crowley walked up to her smiling.
"Now don't worry Dear, this wont hurt a bit" He smiled and stood over he and injected clear fluid deep into her neck.
"MMMMMMMMMM" She closed her eyes tightly and screamed. The heavy door opened and Dean walked in. "MMMMM" Madi yelled happily. Dean frowned and looked at Crowley. Crowley turned and looked at the hunter. "mmmmmmmmmm"she yelled through the gag in her mouth. Dean ran at Crowley with a knife. Mercy, Alec, and Donovan were suddenly gone. Just Madi, Crowley and Dean were in the room. Everything was in slo-motion. Madi watched as Dean was still running at Crowley. Dean growled as he jumped at him and moved his arm down to stab him. Crowley flicked his hand and Dean flew across the room.
"MMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!" Madi screamed. Dean quickly scrambled up and wiped blood from his lip. He glared at Crowley. Madi whimpered. Dean was scary like this, his eyes were hard and cold, filled with determination. Dean ran at Crowley again, everything wasnt in slomo anymore. It happened so fast. Just as DEan was about to stab crowley deep in his chest, he was flung against the wall again. Dean lay in a crumpled hump for the longest time it felt like to Madi. Dean groaned and slowly stood up. As Dean ran at him again, Crowley pulled out a gun.
"MMMMMMMMMMMMM" Madi screamed. Dean ignored the pistol and kept charging.
"RRAAAG" Dean shouted as he ran at him. Everything was slo-mo agian. Crowley smiled and pointed it at Dean. Crowley pulled the trigger and fired. The bullet came out of the gun with air flowing behind it. Spinning, chopping through the air, it slowly went towards DEan. And Dean kept running towards the bullet.
'no Dee! run away from it! no Dee!' She screamed in her head. She watched in horror as the spiraling bullet sliced through Dean's forehead.
"MMMMMMMMMMMMM" Madi screamed. Dean slowly fell to his knees and dropped face forward to the cold, blood stained ground. Crowley laughed hysterically.
"DEEEEEEEEEEE" Madi bolted upright sweating and crying. Kevin whimpered and nudged his head into her. Madi grabbed around his neck and hugged him. Kevin leaned into her and whimpered. She sobbed as she hugged him. Kevin nudged her neck a bit and licked her cheek. She smiled a bit and let go of him. He whimpered.
"Thanks Kevy" she said still kinda whimpering. Kevin licked her face again. Madi laughed a little bit and sniffed. Kevin whimpered again and laid down resting his front paws and head in her lap. She per his head and laid back down.
VI
Alec put his book down as he heard Hayden crying. He quietly peeked out of his door. No Mercy or Michael. He snuck out of his room and quickly ran to her room. He walked in and went to the side of her crib.
"Haystack? What's wrong?" He asked softly. He sniffed. "Ugh" he said "diaper change" he groaned and picked her up. He brought her over to the table and undid her onesie. "Shhh its okay." He said and got a clean one. He took a deep breath. A few seconds later and he was struggling to get the clean one on.
"Ugh hayden! Stay still!" He groaned. He eventually got it on her.
"See? Better now if you would've stays still that would've been much faster" alec said buttoning her onesie backup. She stopped crying and looked at her brother. Alec smiled at her and her bright green eyes. She giggled and squirmed a bit. "Theres my Haystack" he smirked and picked her up. He spun her around a bit and she giggled more. He laughed a bit as he held her above his head. She squirmed and laughed. Alec laughed and he swooped her down below his legs and back above his head. Hayden shrieked with laughter. Alec got on the ground with her and put her on her back on the blanket from before. She giggled and reached up to him. He made a funny face and started tickling her. She laughed again and squirmed. Alec laughed and picked her up again. The door opened and Michael walled in. Alec stopped laughing and turned to his father with Hayden in his arms. Michael frowned and looked at the two of them.
"What are you doing with her?" He asked
"Dad!?" Alec said and looked up at him.
"Alec, what are you doing?" He asked again.
"She- she was crying and i- and she needed a diaper change so i was changing her diaper" alec explained.
"And the requires an unusual amount if very loud laughter?" He asked
"I was playing with her. She can't just be in her crib all day everyday! She needs attention which neither of you give her!" Alec shouted.
"We give her what she needs and she does not need to be with us 24/7 or you! Go back to your room now!" Michael shouted. Alec walked back over to her crib.
"Sorry Haystack" he whispered and kissed her forehead quickly before he put her down. Hayden made a whining sound.
"Alec", Michael warned. Alec turned around and walked out of the room and walked back to his room. Starting on his book again. He couldn't read though he was red with anger. Hayden cannot be in her crib all day. it wasn't fair to her. She was only a couple months old and she spent her entire life staring at a ceiling. Most babies are coddled and constantly getting attention. But no, mercy and Michael were always busy. But when Alec went in there his parents are suddenly not busy. He just hated it. Hated how he couldn't be there to give her the attention she needs.
VI
They walked down a hallways that had no cages. There was a set of rooms and it seemed quiet. Until they heard faint whimpering.
"Madison", dean said.
"Do you hear her", Sam asked.
"Shhh", Dean placed a finger to his lip. They heard a bit of laughter along with some whimpers. It was Madisons laughter they knew it. Dean cupped his hands around his mouth.
"MADISON", Dean yelled. Then he signaled everyone to be quiet.
"DEE", he heard a yell. Dean ran towards the sound. And Sam and Bobby followed.
"WERE COMING MADS", Dean yelled. He watch a door open and he saw his baby girl. The small little blonde haired girl. Dean didn't even get a good look at her. He just scooped her up in his arms. Madi whimpered. Dean frowned. Dean pulled her back from a hug and looked at her face. It had cuts all over it. Dean choked. Tears welling up and he was trying his best to blink them away. So were Madison's. Dean held her so her head was over his shoulder. Madi looked at Sam and Bobby.
"Madi", Sam said softly walking up behind her. Sam stroked her snarled blond hair. Being careful not to touch the wounds on her face. Bobby gave a soft smiled. Hiding his true feeling inside.
"Its alright Sweetie, we got ya now", bobby said. Sam looked at his watch. We got 8 hours", Sam said. Dean pulled Madi back and kissed her cheek.
"Alright, baby why do ya try to get some sleep", Dean said softly. The heard a growl come from behind the door.
"Dean, is that a hellhound", Sam asked.
"lets get out of here quickly", Bobby said.
"no thats Kevy", Madi yawned resting her head on Dean's shoulder
"Shhh get some sleep", Bobby said. Madi nuzzled her head into Dean's shoulder. They started walking down the hall where the cells were.
"DEAN! SAM! BOBBY!", they heard someone yell. A familiar voice. THat wasn't Clara. No. They all turned around.
"Clara?", Sam said.
"Yes its me you idiot", She snapped. She looked over and frowned. "I fucking swear to god if thats Madison! im going to shoot you three", SHe clenched her teeth. Madi stirred a bit and look behind her rubbing her eyes.
"Clara", Dean paused.
"DEAN", she said.
"Mommy", Madi rubbed her eyes. Clara looked at her.
"you told her about me", Clara smiled. "Hey sweetie', Clara said softly.
"Tired", Madi rubbed her eyes and put her head back into dean's shoulder.
"Hey Clara, we'll get you out...take you to heaven", Sam said. Clara frowned.
"You think I was burned, huh", Clara said.
"What do you mean you weren't burned", Bobby said.
"Well my family didn't seem to let go", Clara paused. "So you take me there and burn my bones, honestly i need to die", Clara looked down. "Its good that i get to see her, bye Madison Annelise", Clara said her eyes filling with water.
"We will", Sam nodded. In reality Sam had a plan to bring her back. He just needed to convince Cas to rebuild her rotting corpse its been five years. Sam held his hand out and he pulled out a knife then cut both arms. A slowly pull light came though clara into Sam arms and it glowed in his arm. They all nodded and they kept going. Down the hall.
"IS she ok", Sam asked. Dean looked at her sleeping figure. He noticed the various scar, bruises, fresh open wounds. Stabs into her one arm.
"No she isn't okay say, they just carved into her", Dean said.
"Bastards", bobby muttered.
"Well we got her now, thats all that matters", Sam said.
"I guess, god she's just a baby. She probably didn't even know what they were doing to her. Just mindless torture", Bobby said.
"And i'm not gonna let her go, i promise her that", Dean said. He felt her trembling through her sleep. The fact that she wasn't heavy to carry at all, she was frail. Dean didn't even have to adjust her while they walked she was just so weak that he felt like if he held her any tight he'd crush her to death. She would on occasion whimper or groan. And it broke deen's heart. he felt so stupid for letting all of this happen to her. He honestly did. But he just wanted her there. Her slight warmth. Just her presence there alone made Dean feel ok. Just his baby girl in his arms. And everything was alright. Even when things truly werent alright.
VI
"Michael", Mercy said walking into the office. Michael was sitting in his swivel chair. Observing files.
"Hello Mercy", Michael put the files down. Mercy walked next to Michael and sat on the edge of desk.
"Im busy", he groaned.
"Your always busy", Mercy whined.
"What do you want", Michael groaned. Looking at Mercy.
"I just miss you that all", Mercy pouted. Michael smirked and stood up getting close to Mercy. He wrapped his arms around her waist pulling her close.
"I guess I have a few more important things to do first", Michael smirked as he lifted her chin and kissed her. She wrapped her arms around him and he deepened the kiss. Then lifted her. Mercy wrapped her legs around him and.
"OH MY GRANDPA", Alec yelled. Michael put Mercy down and quickly pulled away. Mercy wiped her mouth.
"Alec, don't you knock", Mercy snapped.
"I know what you were doing", Alec crossed his arms.
"Really Alec", Michael raised an eyebrow at his son.
"Yeah you were making out", Alec said.
"Who teaches our son these things", Mercy muttered.
"I heard that! And fifty shades of grey", Alec said.
"Ummm" Michael titled his head.
"hun...how did he", Mercy paused then gritted her teeth. "LEN!"
"Well im going to do some reading", Alec left the room.
"Im going to hurt him", Mercy siad.
"Calm down dear", Michael said. Mercy rolled her eyes.
"oh SPEAKING OF LEN, he let Madison Grimm out of his sights and now shes runnning wild with a hellhound", Mercy smiled.
"WHAT!"
"Uh huh, im sure Crowleys got her in a chair poking at her skin with sharp objects", Mercy said fixing Michael bangs.
"Yeah well how far can a carved out five year old run", Michael said smiling a bit. "correction abomination not girl". Mercy laughed.
"Are you flirting", She giggled.
"I might be", he smirked.
"Mercy WE HAVE WINCHESTERS", crowley said through the speaker of the walkie-talkie.
"Oh god damnit, can we ever have a moment", Michael groaned.
"I'll go take care of this, you continue your work I have to Leave", Mercy jumped off the desk and she walked out the room shutting the door and walking down quickly down the hall.
VI
"DAMMIT", Donovan smashed his fist into the stone causing a deep dent the reaveal a hole to the other side. He looked at his bloody first.
"Alright little sister Im gonna get you and Alec and Hayden out. He punched it again. then she kicked the stone and it opened the hole up more. Not enough so he could climb out. He was starting to really enjoy being a knight. He kept hitting and punching the stone. Fragments of stone were stuck in his fists and he didn't care. He was almost out. He ran to the back of the room and ran forwards jumping into his kick the wall came down and he jumped through.
"OWWWWWWWWWWW", he heard a voice. Len climbed out from underneath the rubble. Donovan looked at Len.
"WHY DOES THIS ALWAYS HAPPEN TO ME", Len groaned. Donovan ran down the hall and he almost ran into Alec. He stopped.
"Hey bud, lets find Madison. Kay", Donovan said. Alec frowned.
"I heard the demons were after her family, Winchesters", Alec said.
"They're here?", Donovan tilted his head. Alec shrugged.
"That not important", Donovan grabbed Alecs arm as he ran down the hall and he saw Crowley ordering some demons around. Donovan grabbed Alec and pulled him behind the corner. Donovan peered past the corner. Crowley was rambling about Winchesters and how he cant get a five year old. Donovan laughed to him self. 'Thats so pathetic' Donovan thought. 'shes only five how hard can that be.
"Is he Gone?", Alec asked.
"I don't know maybe hold on", Donovan looked again. "Yeah NO", he whispered.
"Dangit", Alec kicked the wall and it made a loud echo noise. Donovans eyes widened as Crowley came storming towards them.
"ALEC! DONOVAN!", he yelled. Donovan stepped out pulling Alec with him. He held onto Alecs shoulders.
"hello Crowley", Donovan smiled with semblance.
"Were you eavesdropping, boys?", Crowley asked.
"n-no sir", Alec shook his head.
"Lies", Crowley narrowed his eyes at them.
VI
"Dean! Sam! Bobby!", Mercy said smiling. "I believe you have something of ours", Mercy said.
"No you had something of mine", Dean said. Dean nudged Madison to wake up. Madi stirred. Sam stepped forward pointing his knife to mercy just as Bobby did. They stepped closer to her and infront of Dean, Mercy laughed.
"oh this is Comical", she laughed. Dean knelt down and peeled Madi off of him. Madi rubbed her little eyes and looked at him with her blue eyes.
"Alright i need you to stay here ok don't Move!", Dean paused and took off his necklace. HE put it around Madisons neck and he looked into her eyes.
"thats a promise that i will protect you, and i will come back for you becuase i did...its a promise", Dean said. "But dont worry Mads, Deans a badass he'll get you out of here", dean stood up and pulled out his blade stepping next to Sam and Bobby. Sam quickly looked at his watch.
"Dean we have 20 minutes", Sam said.
"Were right there we got this", Dean said.
"Oh running out of time are we", Mercy smiled pulling out a knife. "This could get interesting"
