Keep Going

"What the hell does that mean, Sam?!" Jo heard Dean yell all the way upstairs. Jo looked around for her mom and saw that she was gone from the house and she didn't see Bobby. Jo didn't know that to do about this situation or where to go from here. Usually the problem came to them and there was a certain time frame to solve it in. Jo had been so worried the last few weeks that she was just tired. She was super over all the life changing things that had been going on. What she wanted is an exotic vacation and Dean in swim trunks. Okay, so maybe she couldn't picture Dean in swim trunks, but she could picture him without trunks. Jo shook her head pushing the thoughts away. Last night they had gotten cleaned up and Jo had silently re-bandaged Dean, it was kind of becoming one of their things.

"Dean just listen!" Sam yelled. Jo heard him slam the door and the raised voices became muffled.

"Still going at it?" Ellen asked from behind Jo. Jo nodded and Ellen put her hand on her shoulder. Jo felt comforted for a few seconds, and then noticed that Cas was in the corner of the room.

"Jo. I need to talk to you privately." Jo was about to protest but instead she nodded and looked at her mom. Ellen nodded slightly and started down the stairs.

"Ellen after I talk to Jo I want to talk to you." Cas said. Ellen heard glass shatter against the wall.

"You'd better give me a few minutes to cool the two hot heads down." Ellen said going down the stairs at a faster pace. Jo headed to her room and went in leaving the door open for Cas. Jo sat on her bed and waited for Cas to start talking.

"I know that this has been a hard road for you, Jo." Cas said sympathetically. Jo just stared at Castiel waiting for him to continue. "Have you seen Joan of Arc lately?"

"No, nothing. I haven't seen her since she warned us." Cas put his head down. Jo started to panic. "What aren't you telling us?" Jo asked.

"Heaven is realizing that Dean is not going to say yes to Michael and they are considering the next steps to take." He looked at Jo and she looked at him.

"What does that mean?" Jo asked.

"It means that soon heaven will cut itself off from the earth and we will be left alone to deal with Lucifer all by ourselves." Cas said in a lower voice than usual. "It means that Joan will not come to you and I will lose all of what's left of my powers."

"What are we supposed to do? I mean there is no upside of this situation." Jo stared off into space. A strange feeling came over her, she looked at Cas accusingly. "You want me to help convince Dean to say yes." With each word her voice kept getting higher. Cas looked at her sharply.

"No. That is not what I want, I want to find God and end this but it is not helping that heaven is pulling away, I feel weaker everyday." Cas said.

"Okay then, because that will never happen, I would not do that to him." Jo slashed her arm through the air. Cas smiled.

"I am glad that you are loyal to him." Jo gave him a 'duh' look and shut her eyes trying to think a way out of the situation. Cas was beginning to feel less optimistic everyday, he sighed heavily and Jo felt sorry for him. Jo got up from the bed and rested her hand on Cas's shoulder. Cas looked up at Jo's face.

"It will be okay, Cas. We will figure something out." Jo smiled at him even though she was worried and scared out of her mind. It reminded Cas of why he was on the side of humanity.

"What if we summoned her and trapped her for questioning?" Sam suggested to Dean in an even voice, he looked over at Ellen she nodded her head in approval. Dean and Sam had been close to blows when Ellen busted down the door to the small room. She had made the boys sit down at the table and start acting like adults instead of two year olds.

"Maybe." Dean said dismissing his question. "Are you sure that is all she said?" Dean asked again.

"Yes of course, Dean. You can trust me you know." Sam said. It was true; Sam had told Dean everything word for word about his asinine conversation with Naga. Sam was over demons trying to pick at his spirit.

"Of course I trust you." Dean said looking at Sam. Dean didn't want to admit that he was a little more than worried about Sam but as far as Dean was concerned the new leaf that they had turned over was more important to him than fighting.

"It looks like we are at a stale mate, boys." Ellen said wondering what to do.

"Hello?" A voice came out of the bar area. Ellen immediately stood up from the table and the boys grabbed the guns and proceeded to look through the swinging doors to the bar area.

"Hello, guys?" Said a shaky voice. Dean recognized the voice and rolled his eyes and put his gun away. Dean slammed open the door with his foot and scared Chuck so much that he jumped.

"Geez! You scared me! What the hell?" Chuck said gaining his composure. Dean and Sam just stared at him not saying anything. Chuck started to get uncomfortable at the boys staring at him. Chuck eyed Ellen in the back ground.

"Umm hi, you must be Ellen." Chuck said looking Ellen up and down. "You look exactly how I wrote you." Ellen looked raised her gun back up.

"Whoa, whoa, Ellen he is harmless, he is Chuck." Sam said.

"I still might shoot him if he keeps eyeballing me." Ellen said not wavering.

"Chuck the prophet." Dean said holding back laughter. Ellen lowered the gun and held out her hand.

"Ellen." She said. Cas and Jo joined the group. Chuck saw Jo and went up to her.

"You have to be Jo. It is so nice to meet you. Believe me, I never saw you coming back but I am sooo glad you are here." Chuck gushed. Jo raised her eyebrow and shook Chuck's hand.

"What are you doing here Chuck?" Sam asked. Chuck laughed a nervous laugh and shifted his feet.

"Is it okay if I can get some whiskey?" Chuck asked. Everybody headed for the bar, Ellen and Jo behind it.

Bellied up to the bar the group looked at Chuck as he took his third shot. He closed his eyes as the liquor burned through his stomach. He motioned for another one and Ellen had a surprised look on her face but poured him the shot anyway. Chuck shot the liquor back and wiped his mouth on his sleeve. Everyone was staring at him.

"Okay, so I had a headache last night and I blocked out most of it, but out of all the dreams I have had this one was different." Chuck's tone got low.

XOXOXOXOXOXOXO

Chuck looked at everyone staring at him with their mouths hanging open. Dean tried to say something but then closed his mouth and tilted his head to the side.

"You are talking about finding the creator of everything we know." Sam said softly, his mind exploding.

"Cas, can God be walking around in human form?" Dean asked.

"Yes, he can be anything he wants too." Cas said. "It is absolutely possible." Cas said looking at Ellen.

"You should know my dream was fuzzy that is all I remember. It's like it was hazy or shut off. Something interfered with my dream, but he was there." Ellen gave Cas a look.

"What was that?" Jo asked catching on to the by-play. Ellen gave her daughter a guilty look.

"Seriously mother." Jo folded her arms.

"It is my fault; do not be angry at your mother." Cas's said. Nobody said anything they just looked at him to drop the other shoe. Ellen sighed.

"I have been doing a side job for Cas. Every miracle that Cas has identified I have investigated."

"So far...?" Dean asked. Ellen looked him in the eye.

"Nothing definitive." Cas said.

"Wow, mom, thanks for telling me." Jo said offended.

"You have your secrets too, Joanna." Ellen said looking at Dean. Dean coughed and took a drink of beer, Jo blushed.

"Point taken." Jo said.

"I can tell you right now that you won't find him." Chuck said slurring a little. Dean felt his temper rising.

"Well then what the hell was the point of you coming here, Chuck?" Dean said.

"I don't think I had a choice. Even though the dream was choppy, I saw me here." Chuck shifted his eyes around. Everybody was silent. Jo got everybody more beers and poured more whiskey.

"So if we can't find God what the hell do we do?" Dean asked.

"We find Naga and go to town." Jo said. Everyone just looked at her. "What?" Jo took out her notebook. "I have been writing down everything that we have gone through and I am sure that there is some sort of pattern." Jo started to doubt herself. "Okay, maybe not but still." Everyone looked half drunk and down. "Look, Sam has a line with her, I say at a dead-end then we don't have another option."

"When Dean was missing we went through the whole process of how to find Naga and we came up with nothing." Ellen said.

"Yes mom, but now Sam can call her to him and when she comes we kick her ass and figure out what we are supposed to do."

"That's crazy." Sam said.

"She's right." Dean said standing up. Ellen wanted to protest but she knew it wouldn't so any good.

"Let's get ready." Ellen said.

"I will prepare as much as possible." Cas said and in an instant he was gone. Jo watched her mom and Sam walked off and looked at Dean.

"Something bad is going to happen, I can feel it." Dean said. He didn't want to think about it but out of all the awful feelings that he had, this one felt the worst. Jo looked at him and nodded. She wasn't feeling the best either especially after talking to Cas. Dean took Jo's hand…. Chuck cleared his throat. Jo rolled her eyes and looked over at him.

They picked a farmhouse close to the Roadhouse, it reminded Dean of when they summoned Cas for the first time. Sam finished the ritual and stepped out of the chalk circle toward Ellen, Dean, and Jo.

"That should do it." Sam said wiping his hands. Nothing happened. All were looking around until the wind picked up and Naga was standing in the circle looking at her nails.

"What a delightful crowd." Naga said. "Sam you could have just called me. You didn't have to go through all of this trouble."

"Apparently we do bitch. Now why are you coming after Sam saying you can help him?" Jo asked.

"Unfortunately, I have been given orders to get Sam over here to Lucifer." Naga said honestly.

"That will never happen." Sam said.

"Something bad is going to happen guys, yes you got the sword, but let me tell you that we can be reasonable." Naga said. "Some things can't be helped, why do you think that you are going to say yes to him soon?" Naga asked.

"I am not going to say yes." Sam said again. Naga rolled her eyes.

"He is going to make it so horrible for you that you are going to sacrifice yourself for him." She nodded to Dean. "I say that Sam, you should do you a solid and say yes." Dean opened his mouth Naga turned to him. "You saw what was going to happen in the future." Was all she said. Jo stepped up with her knife ready.

"You are one cruel bitch and your being nice. You don't add up." Jo said sternly.

"Well bitch, that's how it is." Naga looked around at her trap. "There is a lot you need to catch up on." She grabbed a piece of paper from her jacket and put it on the ground. "I gotta run, cute trap though." Naga clapped her hands and cracked the circle, with that Naga was gone. Jo stepped in the circle looking around.

"How the hell did she do that?" Dean asked.

"I have no idea!" Ellen said checking the markings, they were sound.

"That is certainly disturbing." Cas said. "The other side is getting stronger." Jo leaned over and picked up the piece of paper and unfolded it.

"1014 Spruce Street, Seattle." Jo read.

"Cas, do you know what that means?" Dean asked.

"No. I am sorry."

"Looks like we are making it a trip then." Jo said.

"What if it is a trap?" Sam asked.

"Everything is a trap, which is why we all do this together." Dean said. Jo walked out of the farm house confused. Dean came up behind her and put his hand on her shoulder.

"You ok, Jo?" Jo turned around and looked him.

"I am not sure. I feel like we are not doing well." Jo said biting her lip.

"That's because we aren't. The only thing to do is keep going." Dean said. Sam came up with Ellen behind him.

"We just keep going." Dean said. No one was comforted.
