Hey guys! Hope everyone is enjoying this story so far, I know it's not the best. I wanted to let everyone know that I'm not sure when the next chapter will be posted. I'm going to be get surgery done in a couple of days, so I'm not entirely sure when I'll be able to get the next one done and up for you all. I'm hoping it won't be too long. I'm hoping to throw in a few more surprises later on or soon. Thanks again for reading, hope you all are liking it. :)
A few months passed and everything was back to normal, or at least as normal as it could get for the Winchesters. Dean and Cas were happy once again with their beautiful daughter, Bay. Sam and Gabriel were thrilled that they could see their brothers happy again, and had hoped it would stay that way.
Sam was sitting in a coffee shop a few states over with Crowley, discussing Crowley's terms for helping grab Dean out of Purgatory.
"What is it you're wanting, Crowley?" Sam asked, growing irritated with the King of Hell. "Let's hurry up and get this over with."
"What's the rush, moose?" Crowley asked, smirking at the irritation showing on Sam's face. "Anyway, I need you to take care of a problem for me."
"What problem would that be?" Sam was thankful Crowley was finally getting to the point. "If it has something to do with your mother, you can take care of that yourself."
"No, mother isn't involved this time." Crowley was thankful that his mother wasn't giving him trouble for once. "Lucifer broke out of the cage and I want you to find him." Sam looked at Crowley shocked.
"How do you expect me to find Lucifer?" Sam asked, not fully understanding what Crowley was trying to get at. "It's not like I'm his favorite person in the world."
"Well that's where you're wrong, moose." Crowley said, ready to burst Sammy's bubble. "He's quite fond of you."
Sam sat in the war room searching on his laptop for possible locations Lucifer could have gone. He hasn't told the others about Crowley's request. He didn't want to hear their protests, he wanted to just get it done and out of the way. Sam closed his laptop in frustration and sighed. Dean walked in carrying Bay.
"You okay there, Sammy?" Dean asked, stopping and standing next to his brother. He could tell Sam was tired and upset about something. "You're not looking so good."
"I'm fine." Sam said, quickly adjusting in the seat and sitting forward. "Just working on the favor I owe Crowley."
"What is the favor?" Dean leaned against the table, readjusting Bay in his arms to keep her from falling. "You never did tell us."
"It's nothing I can't handle on my own." Sam smiled, hoping to ease any worries his brother was having. "I'm about to head to the store. Do you need anything?"
"You can pick me up some pie." Dean returned the smile, completely forgetting about what Sam was working on. "Plus, I think it's time my little girl tries some pie."
Sam grabbed the keys to the impala and made his way to the car. He drove to the store, got lunch, and made sure to grab Dean's pie. He went to the check out and paid for his things. The cashier flirted with him the whole time, but Sam didn't pay attention to it. He had too much on his mind to worry about some girl flirting with him. He was driving back to the bunker when he decided to pull off on the side of the road. He turned the engine off and leaned back in the seat. Crowley had asked him to do a difficult task, and he wasn't entirely certain he could do this on his own. Sam wanted to tell the others, but he already knew how they would react. He wasn't sure what he was going to do. He felt lost and alone, since him and Gabriel hadn't been on the best of terms lately. Sam wanted to talk to Gabriel about it, but he wasn't sure how the archangel would react anymore. Sam was about to close his eyes and let his thoughts drift through his mind when he heard the flutter of wings. He figured it had to be Gabriel or Castiel.
"I'm not in the mood right now." Sam said, looking over to the passenger seat to find an unlikely suspect. "Lucifer?"
"Hey, Sam." Lucifer said, smiling at the shocked hunter. "Did you miss me?" Sam was no longer trying to relax. He got out of the impala and walked over to the passenger side where Lucifer was waiting, leaning against the car.
"What the hell are you doing here?!" Sam asked, slightly scared as to why the fallen angel could be there. Lucifer had taken his previous vessel, except this time it was rotting away. "If you're here to ask me to be your vessel again, I'm not going to do it."
"Oh, come on, Sam." Lucifer said, still smiling at the aggravated hunter. "Give me some credit. I'm not here to ask that. I came here to see you, I've missed you."
"Why would you come see me?" Sam looked at Lucifer weird, he was confused. Why would the fallen angel come to see him?
"Don't tell me you don't remember." Lucifer lost his smile immediately after Sam's question. "You really don't remember?" Sam could hear the hurt in Lucifer's voice.
"Remember what?" Sam asked, truly confused. He could tell the question only hurt Lucifer more.
Lucifer took a few steps away from Sam before disappearing, leaving Sam even more confused than he already was. He got back in the impala and raced back to the bunker. Dean, Cas, and Gabriel gave Sam strange and confused looks as he ran to his room. Gabriel followed after him and when he reached the room, Sam was pacing back and forth. Gabriel could clearly tell that Sam was freaked out by something.
"Hey, kid-o, you okay?" Gabriel asked, stopping Sam from pacing around the room. He sat with Sam on his bed. "What's got you freaking out like this?"
Sam stayed quiet and thought about how he would explain what just happened to him. The longer he stayed quiet the more he worried Gabriel.
"L-lucifer." Sam said, stuttering slightly and breathing hard. "Lucifer found me. Said weird things. I'm worried. Scared." Sam was shaking while he struggled to say full sentences.
"How did Lucifer get out of the cage?" Gabriel was shocked to hear that his brother was out once again, but how? Then Gabriel had realized what Sam was telling him. "How did he find you? What did he want?" Gabriel watched Sam calm his breathing and stop himself from shaking.
"Me, I guess." Sam looked up at Gabriel, deciding to tell Gabriel everything. "He said he missed me. I was confused and didn't understand why. He wanted me to remember something, but when I didn't he got upset and left. I need to talk to Crowley."
"Why would you have to talk to Crowley about this?" Gabriel asked, he knew Sam owed him a favor but Sam never told him what it was. Every time Gabriel asked, Sam would say he could handle it. "Sam, what aren't you telling me?"
"Crowley asked me to look for Lucifer." Sam admitted, watching Gabriel's expression change from worry to anger. "I didn't want to tell you, Dean, or Cas because I knew how you would react.".
Gabriel was standing in a dim lighted room in front of the King of Hell. Gabriel took the time to look around the room, although it was clean it looked absolutely filthy to the archangel. He had noticed the other demons in the room were nervous and well alarmed to his presence. He finally rested his attention on Crowley sitting in his throne.
"Since when did Hell start looking like a filthy pit?" Gabriel asked, making sure to edge in acid to his voice. He wasn't happy with Crowley, which Crowley could pick up on. "I believe you know why I'm here."
"You're here about the favor moose is currently doing for me." Crowley said, enjoying the archangel's anger. He wouldn't admit that he was scared at what the archangel might do to him, so he used enjoyment to cover up the fear. "Has moose found Lucifer yet, or is he still looking?"
"Lucifer found him." Gabriel inched his way closer to Crowley, glaring furiously at any demon that attempted to stop him. Once Gabriel stood close enough to rip Crowley's smokey form out of the vessel he was possessing, Gabriel grabbed the King of Hell by the collar. "Tell me what Lucifer wants with Sam."
"What makes you think that I know?" Crowley asked, earning an angered expression from the archangel. Gabriel motioned to push his hand through Crowley's chest. "Alright. While Sam's soul was locked in the change with Lucifer, the two fell in love. When moose's soul was returned to his body, Sam lost all the 'good' memories he had with Lucifer. I can only assume that's what he wants with moose."
Gabriel released his hold on Crowley. He was set and ready to fly away to search for his older brother, but Crowley stood up and grabbed onto his shoulder. Gabriel looked from Crowley's hand on his shoulder up to his face, making eye contact.
"There's one more thing you should know." Crowley said, letting a huge grin spread across his face. Gabriel knew that nothing good could come from that evil looking grin. "There's a child."
Lucifer was sitting on the edge of a cliff overlooking a waterfall when Gabriel found him. He casually walked over to his older brother and sat next to him. Gabriel waited to speak, waiting to see if Lucifer would stick around and talk or disappear. After almost a half hour Gabriel figured Lucifer wouldn't vanish on him, and he took the chance to talk.
"I know about what happened in Hell, while Sam's soul was trapped there." Gabriel watched his brother closely, he hadn't seen Lucifer since he stabbed Gabriel and killed him. "I know there's a child, as well."
"No." Lucifer shook his head back and forth, never taking his eyes off the rushing water before him. "There was a child, but there was an accident."
"What happened to the child?" Gabriel asked, trying his best not to hurt Lucifer. "Will you tell me?"
"Angels and demons." Lucifer pried his eyes from the waterfall to meet Gabriel's eyes. "There was a small group of them. They somehow managed to get my son out of the cage. I tried to stop them, but the cage stood between me and my child. They took him away and brought him up to Earth. They tortured him, not for information but for fun. I could hear him screaming for me and begging them to stop. I was finally able to break out of the cage, but by then it was far too late. When I found my son, he was laying in a puddle of his own blood. I couldn't save him, no one could. The worst part is, I can still hear him screaming my name and calling for my help. I can still see everything that happened to him."
"I am so sorry, Luci." Gabriel moved his hand to rest on Lucifer's shoulder as an attempt of comfort. "Do you know who had done that to your son?"
"Only some of them." Lucifer rested his head against Gabriel's hand. He was glad to see his brother alive and well. "A few of Crowley's lackeys and a few angels that I've never seen leave Heaven before. Crowley wasn't aware of any of it, nor was Father."
"What about Sam?" Gabriel asked, turning his attention back to why he found Lucifer to begin with. Gabriel could see the longing in Lucifer's eyes and the mention of the hunter's name. "What did you want from Sam?"
"I had hoped he'd remember everything we went through together in Hell." Lucifer said, answering honestly. "I just wanted to see him again, and tell him about his child."
"Well, let's go find Sammy." Gabriel smiled softly at Lucifer, standing up and holding a hand out for his brother.
