In Kansas City, Missouri a lady was sleeping in the streets and was awoken by a crash down the alleyway. She got up and began to walk down the alley away from the noise. Her dirty blonde hair was flowing in the wind that started up. She was wearing tattered clothing and had a look of sleepiness and hunger on her face. Suddenly a man was in front of her and grabbed her into the darkness.
A few miles away in the city a young girl was walking around searching for answers. Going to a bar the girl showed a picture of a woman to the bartender." Haven't seen her." He said. "Thanks." The girl said walking away. Passing by a cop car, the police recognized her and took her to a group home. "Now Claire you mustn't runaway." The director of the group home said in a serious tone. "I want to find my mom. Nobody else is out there looking for her and I don't want to be here." Claire said wrathfully. "I don't care. Take her to her room." The director said to the guard.
Escorting her to the room, the guard put Claire inside and locked the door. "God why is this happening to me. I can't take this in anymore. I pray that someone would just listen to me and help find my mom." Clair said with tears in her eyes. Unexpectedly a wind came by and she looked behind her and saw the face of her father looking at her. "Hello Claire." Castiel said. "What are you doing here?" She asked. "I heard you praying. What is this place?" He asked "It's a group home. Now go away." Clair ordered. "Fine I won't help you get out." Castiel said about to leave. "Wait, you'll help me?" She asked. "Yes it's why I came. I'll be back in the morning." Castiel said leaving.
In the morning Castiel returned and went to the director. "Hello my name is James Novak. I'm looking for my daughter Claire." Castiel said politely. "Yes she's here, I'll have her brought in." The director said. A couple of minutes later Claire came in and acted excited to see Castiel. "Dad!" She said hugging him. "I'm so glad you found me." She said. "My I ask where you've been." The director said. "Yes, have been working. Her mother and I separated and I lost touch with them when they moved. Been trying to find her ever since." Castiel stated. "I see. Well everything checks out so I don't see why she can't be released into your custody. I'm glad you two are reunited." The director said shaking his hand. "Thank you." Castiel said.
Leaving Castiel and Claire headed outside and to the car Castiel was driving. "Wow classic car." Claire commented on the Impala. "Yes, it's a friend's." Castiel said thinking of Dean. Getting in the car they drove off. "Where's the last place you saw your mom?" Castiel asked. " A couple of years ago. Haven't seen her since. Can't you sense her or whatever?" Claire asked. "I've been trying something is blocking me. Not many beings can do that." Castiel said. As they were driving down the road, Castiel felt something strange. Looking further he saw the aura of angels. However the aura was different than usual. Pulling out his phone he called Liz for help. Driving to a diner he took Claire to get something to eat.
After a couple of hours Liz, Sam, and Adam arrived at the diner. "Hey there." Liz said greeting Claire. 'HI and you are?" She asked. "I'm Liz." She replied. "Hello Claire." Sam said. "I remember you. You were there when my mom and I were attacked by demons." Claire said. "Yes I was and this is my little brother Adam." He said gesturing to Adam. "Sup." Adam nodded. "Where's the other guy?" Claire asked. "He's gone for now." Sam said. "So what's the case?" Sam asked sitting down. "We may have a big problem." Castiel said. "That being?" Liz asked taking one of his curly fries. "First don't take one of my curly fries. Ever. Second seems like the Grigori are in town." Castiel said. "What's that?" Claire asked. " A type of angel that was supposed to be eradicated by the Seraphim. The order was given by Michael and Zachariah carried it out with his garrison of Seraphs." Castiel informed them all. "How bad are these guys that Michael ordered them to be killed?" Sam asked. "Bad. They were elite but went corrupt and started feeding on human souls. Seems like one is still around." Castiel said. "What about my mom?" Claire asked. "There is a strong possibility that the Grigori have your mother. It would explain why I can't sense her at all." Castiel stated. "Then we start searching the streets and canvassing the area." Sam said. "Good I'll go ask some questions to see if a certain someone knows anything." Castiel said giving Sam the keys to the Impala before disappearing.
Arriving in Heaven Castiel walked towards the dungeon. On his way he was stopped by Gadreel. "Hello there Castiel." Gadreel said greeting his younger brother. "Hi Gadreel. How's everything going here?" He asked. "Good we're finally getting everything running normally again." Gadreel replied with a smile. "That's excellent." Castiel said. "What brings you here?" Gadreel asked. "I need to talk to Metatron. It seems that a Grigori is alive." Castiel stated. "Grigori! I heard on the Host Line that they were exterminated by Zachariah and his men." Gadreel said confused. "Well it seems like one is still walking around. I'm going to Metatron to see if he knows anything as he was on Earth for all these millennia." Castiel stated. "Be careful. He's crafty." Gadreel warned. "Thanks." Castiel responded.
Going to Heaven's Dungeon, Castiel walked to Metatron's cell. "The great Castiel, to what do I owe the displeasure?" Metatron asked. "I've come to ask you about the Grigori." Castiel said cutting to the chase. "Why are you asking about the dead? I'm sure Death can help you with that." Metatron snorted. "There's one still alive." Castiel informed him. "Wait what?" Metatron asked standing up. "Yes on Earth now as we speak." Castiel said. "Hmm I never ran across anyone them, but then again I was staying clear of angels and making myself very hidden. If there is one alive I'd be careful. They are incredibly powerful. Since they were exiled so long ago from Heaven I'm not sure my spell did anything to them." Metatron informed Castiel. "Thanks for the info." Castiel said leaving. "And Castiel I hope you put that Rapier back" Metatron called out. "Don't worry. I did." Castiel responded closing the door to the dungeon.
On Earth it was getting late. Sam and Claire were driving around looking for her mother, Amelia. "So what have you guys been doing?" Claire asked. "Hunting things that go bump in the night. Dealt with Lucifer believe it or not. Even fight primordial monsters called Leviathans." Sam said. "Wait like the great beast of the sea that's two miles long and only fears The Ziz?" Claire asked. "No, that's not what they were like. True form was black ooze and they'd possess people. Hard to kill. If they were like you said we would've just flat out quit and turned it over to the Ziz. If it or anything like it exist." Sam chuckled. "That's understandable." Claire said. After a while they came to an area that had a lot of homeless people. Getting out of the car they asked around to see if anyone had seen Amelia. After an hour they came to a man who had information. "I saw her. She was two blocks down in the old workforce district. It's gloomy over there." He said. Calling Liz, Sam informed her where to meet him and Claire.
Waiting for Liz and Adam, Sam and Claire looked around a bit to see if they could find any clues. "Seems like there was a struggle here in this area." Sam observed. "Looks like the trail leads this way. Claire said. "Don't rush off we need to wait." Sam ordered. A couple of minutes later Liz and Adam showed up. "What do we got?" Liz asked. " A trail. Now can we go?" Claire asked pulling on Liz's leather jacket. "Hey! Don't pull on the jacket. I'll drop kick your ass. You're old enough." Liz said glaring at her. "Ok I'm sorry." Claire said frighten. " Poor girl." Adam said going down the alley following the trail. After a while they came to a building. Going inside they looked around and saw many people on cots in trances. "The hell is this?" Sam wondered. "Some kind of prison. They all look out of it." Adam observed. Looking around Claire saw a man in the next room. He had his hand of one of the people and was feeding off his soul. Gesturing for the others and all came and observed the man. "Shit." Liz muttered. Gazing around the room where the man was Claire spotted her mom. The man then left and walked out and went to the back.
Rushing in Claire went to her mom. "Mom, Mom it's me. Wake up." Claire sobbed. Looking out Adam, made sure the man didn't come back. "Look we're going to have to move her now or never." Liz said. "She's right if he comes back we may be in for a fight." Sam stated. "Too late." Said the man. "You dare come to the lair of Tamiel?" He asked his eyes glowing a sparkling blue. Drawing the Hellsing Dagger, Liz tried to stab him only for the dagger to be blocked by a sword. "Well that's new?" Liz said observing the blade. Pushing back Tamiel sent Liz into the wall. Coming from behind with an angel blade Adam tried to stab him only for his attack to be foiled. "Dammit." Adam muttered. Tamiel raised his hand and sent Adam flying back. "That's not nice." Castiel said teleporting into the room. Drawing his blade he began to fight Tamiel. The two caused the walls to crack from the pressure of their power. Managing to get the sword out of his hand, Castiel began to punch him in various places. Tamiel soon grew angry and didn't notice his sword leave the ground. As he was about to prepare an attack he was impaled from behind by Claire. "That was for my mom you bastard." She hissed. Going to Amelia, Castiel tried to heal her. "I'm sorry Claire. It seems that I can't heal her. Whatever he did is permanent. I can however bring her out of the trance." Castiel said doing so. "Mom, it's me." Claire said with tearing in her eyes. "Hey my beautiful girl." Amelia said weakly. "I love you Mom." Claire said. "I love you too. You're a strong young lady. Stronger than me. I know you'll go far in life." Amelia said passing away.
Entering Heaven, Amelia's soul found its way to Jimmy Novak. "Jimmy. It's you." Amelia said. "I've missed you." Jimmy said. The two embraced each other after a long time. "How's Claire?" Jimmy asked. "She fine. She's a strong young woman." Amelia said. "I'm glad." Jimmy said happily.
On earth they went to bury Amelia. After they were done, Claire went to Castiel. "Why couldn't you heal her?" She asked. "It was something he did. Grigori were elite and knew many things. He did something to all of them. I can't heal a single one. The only one I know for sure that could is long dead." Castiel stated. "Oh great." Claire said with sarcasm. "Can I talk to my dad?" She asked. "No I'm sorry. He went to Heaven when I got smote by Lucifer after Sam said yes." Castiel said bluntly. "Cas!" Sam said over hearing the conversation. "What? Just telling her the truth." Castiel stated. "Thanks. I like being treated like an adult." Claire stated. "Guess that's something we have in common." Claire said looking at Sam. "What's she talking about?" Liz asked. "She was my vessel for a brief moment." Castiel said. "Wow. How'd it feel?" Liz asked Claire. "It was pretty trippy actually. So what happens now?" Claire asked. "Well we have a friend who can look after you for a while." Liz said. "Sure. Long as it is not a group home." Claire added. "It's not." Liz smiled.
Going to the bus station they got Claire a ticket for Sioux Falls, South Dakota. In her luggage she had a large bag that she put the Angel Sword inside. "Seriously?" Castiel asked. "Yep, just in case." Claire said boldly. "Be careful and don't put your eye out." Castiel said. "I won't. Thanks. I'll try to keep touch." Claire said hugging him before boarding the bus. Watching the bus leave they waved goodbye to Claire. "You called Jodie right?" Adam asked Liz. "I texted her." Liz admitted. "Seriously. Wow." Adam said. "I'll call her later." Liz declared. " You better or she'll be pissed." Sam said. "So where are you headed?" Adam asked Castiel. "Out to see if there are any more Grigori. They are dangerous and Raphael isn't around anymore to heal others from their injuries." Castiel informed them. "Be safe out there Cas." Sam said. "Yeah and make sure to call me." Liz said kissing him. "I will." Castiel said vanishing.
Returning to Heaven Castiel went to Gadreel's office. "How'd it go?" Gadreel asked. "Not good. Young girl lost her mom. She's my vessel's daughter and a former vessel of mine as well." Castiel said. "I'm sorry to hear that." Gadreel said. "Seems like the Grigori have a way of injuring people that we can't heal from. The only ones that can are probably Metatron. And that's not a certainty since he's not Raphael. Tell the others to be on the lookout for any surviving Grigori. They must be eliminated." Castiel declared. "I will. We can't have them throw more chaos into our restoration of Heaven." Gadreel said.
In the Fortress of Letters, Liz received a phone call. "Hey Jodie how's it going? Yes I told you'd look after her. You're perfect for the job. She can't stay here we don't know how to deal with teenagers. Well she's old enough that she can go to a local college. Yeah you can help her with that. Plus she and Alex can be sisters they have a couple things in common. Ok Jodie I'll talk you later." Liz said hanging up the phone. "How'd it go?" Sam asked. "Not that bad." Liz smiled. "Hey Liz we're out of orange soda." Adam said walking in to the room drinking some. "You little brat." Liz growled. "Oh chill. I was kidding ." Adam said handing her a can. "You better be or you're grounded." Liz said. "Ugh I swear I'm going to hurt him." Liz sighed sitting down. "Calm down you two." Madison said walking in the room and handing Catherine to Sam. "I swear I'm the parent to three kids and not one sometimes." Madison muttered. "Oh hush." Liz said sticking her tongue out.
