Melissa, joined with Castiel, Dean and Sam stood outside a motel located outside of Colorado. The team had tracked a vampire nest there. With her arms folded, Melissa took a deep sigh as Alex lay inside on the bed asleep. Castiel, with Melissa's help zapped everyone away from the warehouse to a safer place. Alex hadn't recovered from her blood ritual. Peeking in the window, Sam checked on her as he was worried that she had been out for too long.
"So you're telling me that Lucifer, King of the Demons, wants me and Alex?" She looked at everyone's faces as they had no other option at that moment to give her. Slapping her sides, Melissa placed some distance between herself and the guys. She had no idea how to process this on top of everything else that was thrown to her over the months. Placing her hair into a ponytail, she made her way back over and rejoined the conversation. "What now?" She asked, to no one in particular. "Now, we wait for Alex to recover." Castiel announced. Dean gave the angel a quick eyebrow raise. "You have a problem with that Dean?" Melissa asked.
"Yea I do. We can't sit here with our hands in our pockets when Lucifer, you know the demon that almost wiped out this planet, is searching the globe for you two." He glanced at Sam and Castiel. "We have to move and prepare." Melissa nodded walking into his personal space. "Ok. Prepare. How? You have any idea how they plan on busting him out his cage?" She asked, no one answering her. "Come on Dean! You're smarter than that." "So what's your big plan?" He asked as he matched the intensity in her eyes. "I plan on making sure the last bit of family I have is safe and recovered. Or would you want me to lose her too?" There was only minimal space between the two now.
"Alright you two." Sam pulled the two back to their respective corners. "You both are right, but with Alex down, we aren't at full strength." Sam looked between them as they both nodded. "So before we go any further, we need to research and figure out why they want these two. Alright?" Melissa threw her hands up in defeat and Dean gave a clean nod to Sam. Feeling the need to be by Alex's side, he walked towards the door but quickly turned back. "Cass, you're in charge." Castiel's confused face just gave a confused nod as Sam chuckled lightly before entering the room.
Sam quietly moved by Alex's beside. He watched her stir a bit. "You have to wake up." He told her, as he brushed the hair out her face. Sliding a chair by the bed, he took a seat as he watched her. "I need you to wake up." He wiped the sweat off her brow. "What's going on?" Sam questioned.
Dream:
Finally opening her eyes, Alex took a stretch as she realized she wasn't outside the warehouse anymore. Rising to her feet, she looked around. "Mel? Sam?" She called, as she walked around what seemed like a big park. Noticing the swing set, the slide and the big sand pit, Alex was hit with some major deja vu. "I know this." She called out, as a figure walked up beside her.
"This is where Jim, your Earthly father..." Michael said a bit uneasy. "would take you after school." Alex looked around, as if searching for her father. Instantly she saw herself on the swings and him pushing her. Smiling, she wanted to hug him but stopped. Looking up at Michael, she wondered what she was doing here. "Why am I here? Why are you?" She turned. "You tell me. You brought me here." He answered her. Looking around she knew this was a dream but how did she bring him here? "I'm dreaming. I know I am but how did I bring your here?" For once she wished he'd just answer her straight.
"You did a powerful spell and lost a lot of blood." She glanced down at her hand, noticing the scar. "I know. But it worked. I'm not sure how, but it did." "Like I said, your blood has limitless possibilities. All you have to do is put your mind to it." He tapped the side of her head, which made her blush a bit. "So what? I'm stuck in a dream state or something?" She asked, as she sat on a swing. Michael moved behind her and began pushing her. "Something like that." He answered, as the joy on his face was evident, even though Alex's back was turned.
"You're in a coma." She stopped herself from swinging. "What? A coma!" Michael nodded.
"You spilled too much of your blood, which put you in a deep sleep." She nodded. "So I'm in a Snow White coma?" She turned to him, as his face said he didn't know who that was. "Never mind. How do I get out of it?" He grabbed the chains on the swings and whispered to her. "That's up to you, Mi'ykal." Confused now she wasn't sure what was happening.
Standing to her feet, she faced Michael. "Dad! Can you please tell me what's going on?"
Michael stood frozen as she said the 'D' word. It was like angelic music to his ears.
"You are doing this. You placed yourself in this Snow White coma and brought me. Only you can get yourself out." He explained. "The lost of blood somehow triggered your ability to move through time, but it happened on a subconscious level." She nodded finally getting it somewhat. "I remember thinking about my dad so I understand the park." She looked back to still see her past self on the swing with her dad. "But why are you here?" She asked realizing how insensitive that came out. Clearing his throat, Michael turned his back. "You're my daughter. We are connected by blood and you obviously wanted me here. On some subconscious level." He added as she nodded. She knew she did.
Moving by Michael's side, she placed her arms around him. Hugging him tight, he wrapped his arms around her. Pulling back after a minute, she glanced at him. "Tell me about Lucifer. What does he want from us?" She remembered the last conversation she had before blacking out. "He's my brother and he wants out." "Well, how did you get out? God?" She asked. "I don't know. One moment I was in the cage, the other I was back in Heaven." He honestly had no idea. "But he wants out." "And that has what to do with us?" "Now that the rings can no longer open the cage, prophecy says that when the blood of God's messenger is spilled, it will release Lucifer from his cage. And with his release comes the second apocalypse which will bring Heaven and Hell on Earth.
Eyes wide, Alex gave a nod. What else could she do? "And I'm to protect her...from Lucifer!" She recalled her conversation with Michael and her being Melissa's protector and all. "If the second apocalypse comes, you not me, will face Lucifer in the battlefield." Now that was cause for alarm. "I'm supposed to fight Uncle Lucy!" Alex pushed Michael. "Wasn't this supposed to be your fight?" "It was destined yes. But in the coming of the second, it's the destiny of my heir, not me." He tucked the hair behind her ears and gave her what she could only decipher as a smile. "I can't take him on. I'm not strong enough." "You will be, but you have to prepare yourself and your abilities., You know how to jump through time now, go back and study him and prepare." He kissed her forehead, before turning to walk away.
"Wait? What if I need help again?" "Then you know how to find me. Everything you two need is already inside you. Our knowledge, is in you, you just have to find it." He said as he continued to walk. "Oh, by the way..." He turned back to her. "Sam's soul." He pointed over to a bench, where Sam was sitting. "Seems it's ready now." Sam gave a wave to Alex as she waved back.
Dream Over.
"Come on, Allie. Open your eyes." Sam wiped a cool towel over her face. Moving past her eyes, he was surprised to see them open. "Hey." He squealed a manly squeal, alerting the others outside. "Hey." She smiled, as Melissa, Dean and Castiel gave her a smile as they entered. "Welcome back." Melissa plopped down beside her. Hugging her, Melissa pulled back to see a smile on Alex's face. "Sorry I worried everyone. Seems I placed myself in that Snow White coma." She grinned, her mind going back to her Heavenly dad. "What do you mean?" Shaking her head, she sat up in the bed. "That doesn't matter.
Lucifer does." This caught everyone's attention. "Do you know what he wants?" Melissa asked.
"Yea, he wants you." All eyes went on Melissa. "Me? Why me?" "With spilling the blood of God's Messenger, Lucifer will be released and with his release the second apocalypse will happen, where Lucifer and Michael's heir are to meet in battle." Alex scanned the room at the jaws now on the floor. "But Lucifer's still in his cage..." Sam announced. "Well according to the prophecy...not for long. Unless..." She paused, not wanting to reveal but figured this was the perfect time. "Unless what?" Dean asked. "Unless I'm able to protect her. I'm her Protector." She announced as she placed her hair in a ponytail, mimicking Melissa's.
