Starts at the end of the Season 5 Finale
Inspired By:
My best friend got me into Supernatural just this year. I watched it before but never enough to really get any of the big picture storyline. After watching Season 6 I was sadly unable to view Season 7 on TV (and am therefore waiting for it to become available for rent) so I began mentally taking apart the plot of Season 6 and decided it could've been done better. My best friend agrees with me so I wrote this
Pairings:
Hints/Implied/Pre-Slash Dean/Castiel (not that the pre-slash isn't practically cannon anyway)
Implied Azul/Amara
Summary:
There were some things they couldn't just stand by and allow to happen: Dean spending the year with Lisa? Hell no. A soulless Sam walking around? Not happening. Allowing Dean to blow up a dragon sword? Yeah, sure, it shouldn't be high on the list of priorities but as long as they were there, why not save that too?
Chapter 7:
Samuel, Sammy and Sam I Am
Dean went to help Samuel with the hunt and had discovered the old man actually captured the big vamp for questioning, something he found highly suspicious and stupid. So he called in Barkiel and Ambriel.
"I'm not sure this is a good idea Dean," Amy said, worried.
He gave her a look.
"I'm not arguing that we shouldn't find out what Samuel is up to; I'm just saying well," she looked at the other angel.
"We know how normal vamps react to us Dean but well," Barky paused. "We've never met an Alpha and honestly, we don't know what this one's reaction to us will be."
Dean sighed. "I know. It's not the best plan ever but if he's questioning the bloodsucker he'll probably be heavily restrained. How about you take me there, I go inside alone, and I'll call you when the coast is clear."
They shared a glance before they nodded.
Samuel asked the vampire that was strapped to a chair inside a cage, "Where is it? Answer the question. Where is it? How do we find it?" The electricity hummed and crackled as he pushed a button to electrocute the Alpha.
He shifted slightly. "Ouch. Stop. That hurts," the vamp said in a sarcastic manner.
Samuel stopped pressing the button as it seemed to be going nowhere. "This - This is club med compared to what we have planned for you. I got - I got all the time in the world."
The Alpha Vampire would've shrugged if he could've, "Well, that makes two of us."
The old hunter dropped the machete and it clattered to the floor, making the bloodsucker laugh as he left.
He turned his attention to the human who'd been hiding for the past two minutes. "Are you going to hide all night? Come on out."
Dean walked out, whispering for Amy and Barky that it was clear and enjoyed how the Alpha's smile disappeared when they appeared beside him.
Barkiel raised an eyebrow as she looked at the cage and gently kicked it. "What a piece of crap." She turned her attention to the one imprisoned. "This thing is holding you?"
He didn't answer, merely watched her as she walked back over to the other one of her kind.
Dean smiled. Well, apparently even an Alpha thought those two were dangerous enough to keep an eye on. "We got some questions for you, skippy, since you're going nowhere fast." He said, pacing in front of the cage. The hunter huffed out a laugh as the vamp ignored him, still watching the two angels.
Ambriel frowned. "And you'll answer him," she said seriously.
The Alpha frowned suspiciously. He wasn't sure what they were but he could feel the power rolling off of them, power that might surpass even The Mother. Having not felt The Mother in so long he couldn't be sure but he knew either of this hunter's companions could kill him without any trouble or effort. Their presence screamed danger, informing him that in this situation he was the prey and they the predators. "I'll tell you whatever you want to know." He had wanted to throw in if those two didn't kill him but had seen the warning glare.
He glanced back at his angel friends as the blonde gave him a thumb's up. Well, who needed torture when you had two people who scared the crap out of the one you wanted answers from? Dean turned back to look at the vamp. "Are you really the first of your kind?"
"The very first."
Hm. Dean cocked his head to the side in thought as he continued pacing in front of the cage. "But if you're the first... who made you?"
"We all have our mothers. Even me."
The hunter frowned, "What does that mean? And what's with the big surge of vamps lately? I mean, it's like –"
"Like we're going to war."
"Why? What's going on? Why did Samuel bring you here?"
The vamp paused. "When we "freaks" die... where do we go? Not heaven, not hell. So?"
Dean gave him a look that said 'I have no freaking clue,' "Legoland?"
"Purgatory." The dark-haired angel answered.
He glanced back at them, "Purgatory? Purgatory's real?"
The Alpha almost laughed, "Of course! And it is filled with the soul of every hungry thing like me that ever walked this earth. Now, where is it? That is the mystery. And that is what your kindhearted granddaddy is trying to beat out of me."
"Samuel brought you here... to find out where purgatory is?" He asked in disbelief.
"I keep telling him - how would I know such a thing? But he refuses to untie me."
Now he was confused, "Why does Samuel care about any of this?"
"He doesn't care. He does as he is told."
Dean turned to face the two angels, "Well, if the old man's kermit... whose hand's up his ass?"
Suddenly both Amy and Barkiel were banished and Dean turned around to see Samuel, his hand off the sigil on the wall and supporting the gun aimed at him.
"Evening, Dean."
He looked away. Oh, well this was just fucking fantastic. "Wow, you know, I have seen some stupid in my time, but you take the crown. Putting jaws in a fishbowl? How do you think that's gonna end? I don't know what kind of game you're running – "
Samuel cut him off, "What, do you think I'm doing this for kicks?"
Dean continued talking as he disarmed himself. He'd be crazy not to. Who knew how many hunters Samuel had working for him, "So whatever you're doing, whatever you're hiding... it's gonna put you and everyone around you in the ground."
Dean drove the impala, still digesting the fact Samuel was working for Crowley and torturing alphas to find the location of purgatory! Was Samuel so stupid as to not think what Crowley would do with purgatory? He heard the flutter of wings and Ambriel and Barkiel appeared in the back seat.
"Samuel's a dick," Amy stated. "I mean we help him save his grandson and he has the nerve to banish us? How'd he even figure out how to do that?"
"Crowley probably told him," Dean grunted.
Barky frowned. "Crowley? Why would Crowley-" Realization hit, "Crowley wants purgatory."
"Suppose that answers the question of who brought Samuel back," Ambriel sighed.
Green eyes narrowed as they stared out at the road. Did those two really not know? They'd known Samuel was back so how had they not known this? There was also still the question of how the two had possibly escaped.
So he decided to listen at their door. Stupid and they'd most likely know he was there but it wasn't like the angels had diaries or anything. He never expected to hear this though.
"Have you checked up on Sam?" Barkiel asked.
The dark-haired woman snorted. "Why bother? He's not coming out of that coma as not even Cas could find him now."
Sam? They couldn't be talking about Samuel could they? Then again, why would Cas ever want to find him? And the two couldn't possibly be talking about Sammy. Sammy was still in hell, stuck in Lucifer's cage.
"You know there's still a chance a demon or something will accidentally run into him," the blonde pointed out.
"Hm, that's not what Raziel said."
"Raziel could lie."
Another snort. "To us? He wouldn't dare. He knows very well we're following the plan. Sure, not to the exact letter but like we told Castiel and Dean, paths can be changed. Destiny can't."
"You don't think we're changing destiny ultimately?"
Amy sighed. "No. I did ask Raziel and he said it didn't have a specific time to happen; only that it would eventually."
Dean pressed his ear against the door harder. Were they talking about his destiny?
"How long do you suppose it'll take Sam I Am to rear a legitimate child?"
The angel laughed. "That dick! All he had to do was raise the children he sired in the first place and he wouldn't have fucked up this world so much. His abandonment made sure they never reached anywhere near their full potential and that their beings were twisted and made them nothing better than most supernatural creatures here."
Barkiel snorted. "Guys and their need to get laid without protection. And to have named himself God is just beyond arrogant. It'd be like if Tom had chosen to be called Wizard or The Wizard."
"Even Tom didn't fuck with everyone like this though," Ambriel pointed out. "Besides, I think it would've been cool if he'd decided to be called The Wizard."
Dean could just see the blonde giving the other angel a look.
"You would."
When the pair started talking about someone named Severus he walked away to digest the information he'd heard.
The next morning as they were getting ready to head out he asked Amy, "How many Sams do you know?"
Ambriel paused, frowning. Well, obviously he meant in this dimension so, "just two, why?" She continued packing.
"Who's the one in a coma?" Dean questioned, eyes narrowing as she froze.
The angel relaxed but didn't turn to look at him. "Ah, so it was you who was eavesdropping."
"Who else would it be?"
She hummed.
"Well, will you at least tell me who comatose Sam is?"
"Your brother," a voice answered from the doorway.
Dean turned around to face Barkiel, angry. "And you didn't think that was something I should know?"
"Well, saying he's your brother is not completely accurate," Ambriel added.
The hunter's mind drew the worst possible conclusion as he looked back at her. "Shit! Lucifer?"
The blonde walked into the room and shook her head. "No." She sighed. "Sammy's actually still in the cage. Well, the important part of him anyway."
"What the hell's that supposed to mean?"
"It means that the body of your brother is alive but his soul is unfortunately absent. That's why we put him in a coma. I mean, can you imagine something soulless walking around? Even demons have souls, albeit corrupt souls but souls nonetheless."
He sat on his bed. It was quite a bit to take in. And he had to admit they had a point. His brother had talked himself into drinking demon blood with his soul. If Sam didn't had a soul to hold him back… Well, he didn't wanna think about it. He sat there a few minutes, letting this sink in. Then he said, "Cas can fix this." He started, hopeful. "I mean, he pulled me out so he could-"
"Sorry Dean but there's a reason it took so much to open Lucifer's cage the first time. Did you forget that Lucifer isn't the only fallen angel in hell? A couple of dick angels and hell had to cooperate to open it last time so I very much doubt Castiel could. Besides, when Cas went to get you he hadn't exactly gone alone." The black-haired angel informed him.
Dean sighed in defeat, running his hand through his hair.
And this week's side story is
Sharing a Shower
Summary:
Between Season 5 & 6, "Dean, are you telling me if you shared a shower with another guy it'd result in sex?"
Also, here's a story I came up with while contemplating how Ambriel and Barkiel would've fit into the End verse
The Ending that Never Came
Summary:
Takes place in The End verse after Dean goes back to his own time. Dean died and Cas was at Death's door. But that's not the end of their story. Far from it. Things are only just beginning. Brief Destiel implications
Next time
Chapter 8:Crowley Go Boom?
Dean isn't sure why but the image of Cas being fucked against the wall makes a slight blush come to his face.
