Sitting before them was Adam Milligan the half-brother of Dean, Liz, and Sam. "Wait Adam…like your half-brother?" Crowley asked. "Yeah but he's supposed to be in the Cage with Michael and Lucifer. How the fuck did he get out?" Dean asked. "I don't know. When I got Sam out they weren't really worried about his body just torturing his soul since it can't be broken. I snuck in grabbed it and once I got noticed sent a blast and narrowly got out." Castiel explained. "Why would Metatron have him? How would he get him? Sam asked. "The Angel Tablet. Maybe he's powering himself up with it and went inside The Cage and retrieved him for some reason. Possibly to use against you." Castiel said. "Ok how about Jodie or Garth. They're people we care about and way easier to get ahold of." Sam said. "We'll just have to wait for him to wake up." Castiel said. "Oh about that. I kinda put him under to make it easier to transport him." Crowley explained snapping his fingers and waking Adam up. Slowly awakening he opened his eyes and saw everyone around him. "The hell." Adam said. "Hey don't worry we're not going to hurt you." Dean said. "How did I get here? Where's that guy?" he asked. "The guy who was keeping you in The Green Room? He's gone you're among family…and Crowley." Dean said as Crowley raised his hand identifying himself. " Can I have something to drink? Water please?" Adam asked. "Sure." Castiel said going to get a glass.
"Where am I?" Adam asked looking around the incredible room he was in. "This is the Fortress of Letters." Dean said. "It is the home of the Men of Letters people who keep an eye on the supernatural and monsters. We're legacies. It's in our bloodline for generations." Dean continued. "Wow so a hunter base." Adam said. "Well the Men of Letters are more the scholars and brains while the hunters are more the warrior and brawn." Crowley said. "Do you know why they were keeping you in that room?" Castiel asked returning with a glass of water. "Something about healing me and making sure I was ready." Adam explained. "Ready for what?" Sam asked. "Ready to be the vessel of some angel named Metatron." Adam replied. "Wait what?" Dean asked. "Yeah some tall guy in a leather jacket said I was his true vessel. I can't believe I got out of one prison and was put in another. Or back in one I should say." Adam said drinking some of his water. "You remember The Cage?" Sam asked. "Mostly. I was just inside watching Michael do things. I remember you burning the hell out of my body." Adam said looking at Castiel. "Sorry about that." Castiel said. "No hard feelings. I remember them torturing you Sam. Or I guess your soul. Michael did it for a while, but stopped he tried to make Lucifer stopped but that annoying bastard kept singing It's a Small World so Michael just left him alone and protected me." Adam said. "Then some guy came in wearing a suit and trench coat put out his hand and Lucifer gave him the soul and then he left." Adam said taking another sip of water. "That would be Death." Dean said. "Death…like the grim reaper." Adam said bluntly. "Yep that guy." Dean replied. "Wow no wonder Lucifer just gave him the soul. After that it was just boring. They would yell at each other sometimes other times just silence. Till a couple of months ago when a sudden blast of power ripped Michael out of me. Some guy grabbed me then he got hit by Michael and Lucifer shot him with all they had which nearly killed the guy. We barely made it out alive." Adam said. "Damn. He must have used the Angel Tablet to power himself up to get you separated then had his ass handed to him. Probably why Metatron didn't come personally to keep us from saving you." Liz said. "Um who are you?" Adam asked. "Um I'm Eliza. Your sister." She said. "I have a little sister. Cool." Adam. "No you have an older sister. You and Sam." Liz said with piercing eyes. "Oh sorry." Adam said. "Yeah you don't want to get on her bad side." Sam said. "Also don't drink her orange soda. You'll die." Dean said. Hearing that Adam laughed. "He was being serious." Liz in a serious tone. "Gotcha." Adam said. "Ok how about some dinner." Dean said.
After eating they all sat around telling Adam of what has been going on lately in the world. "So the angels fell to Earth, you're human now, and you're a partially cured demon who used to be the King of Hell. And you were taken as a toddler by witches who whipped everyone's mind of your existence. Wow this is a lot to take in." Adam said. "So who's running Hell?" Adam asked. " A Knight of Hell by the name of Abaddon. We're working hard on taking her down." Crowley said. "How can a Knight beat a king?" Adam asked . "Easiest way to explain is Knights of Hell are elite demons trained by the Father of Murder and are stronger than normal demons. Only six demons are stronger than them." Crowley explained. "Speaking of demons I remember Cain mentioning Faust. "Who's that?" Dean asked. "He's the original King of the Crossroads. The demon who came up with the ritual of the deal. He pissed off Lilith and she locked him up deep inside Hell. Been there ever since." Crowley explained. " So what now. Where do I go?" Adam wondered. "You stay here." Dean said. "Metatron will be looking for you and this is the safest place on the planet." Dean informed him. "I will be updating the warding around here and strengthening it against angels to make it safer." Castiel stated "Great so now I'm in a third prison." Adam said annoyed. "This isn't a prison. You can leave just make sure one of us is with you." Liz said. "Cool I guess." Adam said. "We'll also give you training just to be on the safe side." Dean said. "I actually know how to fight. Michael would sometimes teach me a bit to pass the time." Adam stated. "Well if you got a couple of lessons from him then you're good to go. He practically invented hand to hand combat." Castiel said.
In Sioux Falls, South Dakota Sheriff Jodie Mills was going home after a long shift when she got a call about an attack. Going to the house she went to the door and knocked. " Larry it's Sherriff Mills." Jodie said from behind the door. Soon the door opened with Larry looking beat up. "What happened?" Jodie asked. "My wife, she went nuts. Come in." Larry said motioning her to walk inside the house. "Walk me through what happened." Jodie instructed as she sat down across from Larry. "Well lately Janet has been acting weird and doing some pretty strange things. Going out in the middle of the night and not coming home till noon. Then today I tried to get to the bottom of all this weirdness and she attacked me. I tried to fight her off and then suddenly her eyes became pitch black and she through me with her finger tips into the wall and ran off." Larry said. "I don't know how she did it or what's going on but I'm scared and worried for her." He said with tears in his eyes. "Well Larry I'm going to do my best and help you out. Now go get some rest." Jodie said as she got up to leave. Inside her car she called Dean Winchester and told him what occurred.
At the Fortress of Letters everyone began packing for the case." Where the hell is Adam?" Dean asked. "I don't know." Liz said. "Sam!" Dean called out. "He's gone." Castiel said walking into the room. "He took Adam to buy some clothes." He explained to Dean and Liz. "Crowley left a while ago to get back to his search for The First Blade." Castiel stated. "Well they better hurry up. We leave in ten minutes." Dean said. After five minutes Sam and Adam returned. "Hurry up you two and back we're going to Sioux Falls. Jodie's got a case." Dean informed them. "Ok I'll get Adam a night bag." Sam called out. After a while they went to the garage to leave. "Ok so are we all pilling up in the Impala?" Sam asked "Nope I'm taking mine." Liz said. " So who you riding with?" Dean asked Adam. "Doesn't matter." Adam said. "Cool get in" Dean said.
Making their way to Jodie's house they all got out and greeted her. "Wow a lot of you showed up for this." Jodie said giving Sam and Dean a hug. "Well demons have a new leader and she's evil as hell." Dean informed her. "So who are the newbies?" she asked. I'm Castiel. " Castiel said shaking Jodie's hand. "Nice to meet you. How do you know Sam and Dean?" Jodie asked. "I'm the one who gripped them both tight and raised them from perdition." He said. "I see. And you are?" Jodie asked Liz. "I'm Liz their sister." She said "Sister? Why the hell have you guys never told me you had a little sister?" Jodie asked Sam and Dean. "Actually I'm Dean's little sister. I'm older than Sam. It's a long story." Liz chuckled. "I'd love to hear it sometimes. And you are?" Jodie asked looking at Adam. "I'm their little brother." He said with a slight smile. "Wow you guys have a lot of lost siblings." Jodie joked. "Actually I was in Lucifer's Cage with Michael and Lucifer." Adam said dryly. Jodie gave a half smile but then noticed Adam's serious look."Oh…wow. Well come on in.
"So what's been going on?" Dean asked sitting down on the couch. "Well from what I know a few people have been going crazy. Asked loved ones and they all said they had black eyes. There's an old factory that's been shut down for a while that has had visitors. I'm thinking they may be operating there at times and doing something evil." Jodie explained. "Must be building something." Dean said. "Probably trying to form a weapon." Castiel suggested. "How? What kind of weapon?" Jodie asked. "When supernatural events occur they leave behind residual energy depending on how powerful or the type event happened." Castiel informed everyone. "What happened here?" Liz asked. " Death happened." Dean said. "About four years ago when Lucifer was walking the Earth, he used a spell to bind Death and had him walk through the cemetery. Doing so he rose the dead and eventually they all became rapid zombies." Dean told Liz. "And since it was an act that was caused by Horseman it will have great residual energy. Whatever they're doing will have gargantuan consequences" Castiel said. "Then let's get started on research. Cas and I will check the place out the rest of you stay here and do some digging." Dean ordered
In Hell Abaddon was gathering her forces for preparation. "Ok as you know we're building a weapon to battle the angels. In Sioux Falls we are building a cannon that can level cities and we'll put a definite hole in their armies. Now we must hurry as we might have company." Abaddon informed her demons. "Whoever gets in our way will fall by our hands and we'll paint that town with their blood." Jezebel said licking her lips. "Hmm I knew you would be a great." Abaddon smiled at her.
Going to the factory Dean and Castiel snuck in to see if they could find anything to go on. "Dean I think I found something." Castiel whispered. Walking towards Castiel Dean saw what he was looking at. Standing before them was a giant orb radiating with power. "Was that inside of it?" Dean asked. "I believe it's some sort of power. That thing is drawing in energy and is most likely going to be used to fire at something." Castiel explained. "Hey, I think we have company." Dean said pointing at five demons walking around. "Then we take them out." Castiel said sneaking around and drawing his angel blade. "Why the hell do we get stuck watching this damn this?" One of the demons asked. "Probably cause you're low level." Castiel said coming out and killing the five of them by stabbing them and slitting their throats. "Damn Cas." Dean said astonished. "What?" Castiel asked. "Just a bit much. Could've used one of one." Dean pointed out. "My apologies." Castiel said. "No biggie. Let's get back to Jodie's." Dean said. "After we get rid of these bodies." He continued.
At Jodie's house the rest of the gang were doing research to find out how long demons could've been operating in the town. "Seems like in different cities around the state there has been weird activity among people. Stealing parts and killing people. Must be using souls to help power this weapon." Sam said. "You can use souls as power?" Jodie asked. "Yep it's why demons want you to sell them." Liz explained. "Yeah Castiel once said sticking your hand inside a person to touch their soul was like putting your hand in a nuclear reactor." Sam said. "Holy shit." Jodie exclaimed. " Yeah it's pretty dangerous operations." Sam said. After a while Dean and Castiel returned to the rest of them. "Hey these demons have some kind of super weapon in that factory." Dean said walking in. "Super weapon?" Sam asked standing up. "Yes Sam a weapon that could cause incredible damage. We couldn't shut it down as we don't' know how it works and could potentially set it off and destroy us all." Castiel informed them. "So what do we do then?" Adam asked. "We gear up and stake the place out. Watch how they use it and then we kill them then disarm it and dismantle it." Dean said with great confidence. "That seems pretty dangerous." Jodie said. "Let's do it." She said getting up to grab her guns and knives. While gearing up Adam picked up the Hellsing Dagger and admired it. "This is sweet." He said. "Adam, I know you're new to all this but there are rules concerning that dagger. It's mine and nobody touches it." Liz said grabbing it from him. "Ok then." Adam said grabbing the angel blade.
Waiting outside in their cars they sat patiently for the demons to arrive. "So how long do you think till Crowley finds The First Blade?" Sam asked Dean. "Who knows, Sammy. Hopefully it's soon. When we get that bitch out of the way we'll be able to focus on Metatron and fixing heaven." Dean replied. "That will be the biggest challenge in front of us." Castiel said pointing out. "How bad is this Metatron guy?" Jodie asked. "He's an Archangel and the Scribe of God so he is incredibly powerful. He could easily destroy us all, but he has a huge ego and thinks he's better than us all so he'll toy with us. That will be his down fall." Castiel explained. "Damn straight." Dean said. In the Charger Liz and Adam were having a conversation. "So how do you like the whole hunting thing?" Adam asked his older sister. "It's life. I mean yeah it's bloody, violent, and sometimes horrifying, but on the bright side I'm helping people and saving lives. That's what makes it worth it." Liz told him. "Guess that is a reason to keep at it." Adam replied. "Hey looks like we got company." Liz said noticing the demons walking up. Getting out of the cars the six snuck into the building after the demons and watched the intently.
Stepping forward out of the crowd was Abaddon. "Now that how goal is almost here we must prepare for the end. In one hour this will fire into Heaven and destroy the army there. Then we'll fire it towards New York and Chicago and put a dent in those armies as well. Once they are weakened we will strike hard and destroy the angels. Afterwards we will rule Earth and Hell and Heaven will become a wasteland." Abaddon said with glee. "Now carefully use this spell and charge it up. When we're done we'll power it down and move to the next target." Abaddon said. "Ok it's show time" Dean said jumping out and drawing his angel blade. "It's the Winchesters! Attack!" Abaddon yelled. "The hell Dean." Sam said as he began to fight. Jodie fired several shots at the demons with bullets with Devil Traps and anti-demon sigils causing them incredible pain. Teaming up with her Adam took out the demons that she incapacitated. Liz and Dean were back to back slaughtering demons. Abaddon looked in anger has her army was losing. Castiel was making his way to weapon, taking out any demon in his way using his advance fighting skills and swordsmen level. Sam was surrounded by many demons and was starting to get pummeled. "What the hell have I been training you for! Take them out!" Abaddon screamed. The demons then to get a second wind and began to pummel Team Free Will. Castiel tried with all his might to get to the weapon, but the demons numbers kept increasing. Dean and Liz started to tire out. Jodie and Adam were pinned down and were about to fall to the demons. Sam was getting the life strangled out of him by Jezebel. "Wow the great Winchesters falling so easily." Jezebel said licking Sam. Her hand was over Sam's mouth and making it harder for him to breathe. Seeing everyone in grave danger Sam made a drastic decision. "Ouch!" Screamed Jezebel. Letting go she saw her hand was bleeding. She was then grabbed by Sam once more and he began sucking on her hand. Suddenly she flew across the room. "The fuck?" Abaddon wondered as she looked towards Sam. Blood was coming from his mouth as he stood up.
"Sammy no." Dean said. "I'm sorry Dean." Sam said raising his hand and causing the demons to stiffen and stagger. He began exorcising them all. Demon after demon had its essence extracted and sent back to the bowels of Hell. The entire room was filled with black swirling smoke like a chaotic storm of smoke. Soon the room was clear and only Abaddon remained. "You rotten bastard!" Abaddon roared causing the thunder to roar. Raising her hand she aimed to send Sam flying but to no avail. Sam lunged his hand forward and sent Abaddon flying. Sam then tried to exorcise her but he wasn't strong enough to even affect her mildly. "Nice try. You win this time but the next will end with your deaths." Abaddon declared as she vanished before them. Rushing towards Sam Dean grabbed him and threw him against the wall. "The fuck were you thinking! Drinking demon blood again and becoming an addict again!" Dean roared. "Dean I feel different." Sam said. "The hell is that supposed to mean" Dean asked. " Normally I feel high but I don't. Guess it's a side effect of The Trials." Sam said. "It better be if you go off the deep in we'll lock you in the dungeon." Dean swore storming off in a rage outside. "Damn he's pissed." Liz said. "Liz go talk to him and calm him down. Jodie and Adam get rid of the bodies or try to find a solution to all this for your town. I'll disarm this weapon. They dropped the spell and I'll be able to do it." Castiel said. "What do you want me to do?" Sam asked. "Rest and clean yourself up Sam. And ride with Liz on the way back home. Dean might hit you and I can't heal you anymore." Castiel said.
After cleaning up the factory and depowering the weapon then dismantling it they headed home. Sam and Liz rode together and Adam rode with Dean and Castiel. "So what's up with Sam and demon blood?" Adam asked. "Don't want to talk about it." Dean hissed. "When Sam was a baby he was fed the blood of Azazel. Now when he drinks demon blood he gets addicted and becomes slightly evil. The power he gains allows him to exorcise demons and if he gets enough in his system he can kill them." Castiel said. Dean gave him a dirty look and Castiel stared right back at him with a look that said "Keep driving and look forward", halfway reading Castiel's mind Dean just that. "I see sounds kinda nasty. Hope he's ok like he said." Adam said. "I do to Adam." Castiel said.
Sitting in silence Liz and Sam followed Dean back to the Fortress of Letters. After a while Liz broke the silence which was becoming unbearable. "Ok tell me, did you see any other way out of that situation besides drinking that demon?" Liz asked. "No I didn't. We were greatly outnumbered and over powered. If I didn't we'd all be dead. It's not like we can take off warding with ease because if we could the only way out would be even more trouble. As we would have to take it off Adam and hope Metatron bust in and saves him as he's his vessel and takes all the demons out. Seeing how that's an incredibly stupid idea I went with the lesser of two evils. I'm sorry ok." Sam said. "It's ok Sam. I'm just glad everyone's
