(Starts shortly after Ruby walks out back into the demon crowd.)
"Wow. I really don't like her," Xander muttered as he and Kasha finally made themselves visible to the remaining people in the room.
They had come in just after Ruby had made her way inside and started spouting off how she could defeat all the demons, including herself, but she needed the heart of a virgin to do so. Thankfully his brothers were better than that and had sent her packing.
"Hi guys." He waved happily at his brothers and the other men that were slowly lowering their weapons.
"Xander, what the hell are you doing here?" Dean did not look happy, of course it could have been from the gunshot would to his shoulder.
"Kasha said you were in trouble and needed help. We can help so here we are." He grinned his typical goofy grin knowing he'd so get it later from his oldest brother. Sam just looked slightly worried about the whole thing, though his eyes kept going to Xander's companion. Xander instead turned to the other people in the room. "Hi, I'm Xander, this is Kasha."
"Oh, uh, I'm Nancy, this is Dan and Agent Henriksen. You seem to know the Winchesters," the young virgin introduced him to the others.
The dark FBI agent studied the boy for a moment. "Xander? As in Xander Harris? The kid Agent Fornell was complaining about?"
Dean and Sam shared a look while Xander grinned bigger. "Toby's talking about me? I didn't know he cared!"
"More like warning everyone to watch out in case they cross paths with you." The agent smirked at the pout that induced. "Is she a demon too?"
"If you are referring to the vermin that surround this building then no," Kasha stated coldly. "I would also warn you not to associate real demons with those miscreants. It will keep you in better health. However I suppose by your terms I would be considered a 'demon'."
"You know humans generally group things they don't understand together," Xander spoke calmly hoping to mollify her.
"I am aware, which is why I did not take any measures to punish for the insult," she replied in kind. Turning to the brothers she continued. "You have drawn Devil Traps at all doorways and laid salt down?"
"Um, yes we did." Sam looked at her somewhat confused.
Kasha simply made a clucking sound with her tongue as she thought over the options.
"If you're done looking like a pretty statue can we get on with our plan," Dean huffed impatiently.
One fine eyebrow lifted in his direction. "Your plan? The one to open the doors, break the salt lines and allow the vermin to enter while one of you says the incantation for the exorcism once they are all inside?"
"Yeah." Dean looked slightly put out by her tone of voice.
"That will get more than a few of the townspeople killed," she stated simply.
"Do you have a better idea?" This time Sam asked the question since Dean looked ready to explode.
"I would do the same, except I will erect a shield around you to keep you safe. Once the vermin are inside I will free their human host and destroy them."
Several looks were passed between those that had been in the station since the beginning.
"You can do that," Nancy asked tentatively.
"Yes." They watched as she moved around the room some, a flick her wrist sending several desks to the sides of the room. A snap of her fingers had an elaborate circle forming in the room, they symbols glowing. "Please step in the circle and I will raise the shield."
Those that didn't understand what was going on turned to the Winchesters who in turn looked to their kid brother. Xander merely shrugged and walked into the circle with no issues. The two older siblings didn't exactly like this but they would trust Xander's judgment in this, so they too walked into the circle, followed quickly by the others.
"Whatever you do, do not leave the circle until I tell you it is safe," Kasha advised. A few soft words had the wards flaring and a shield of power literally grew from the circle up over their heads forming a perfect dome. Another set of whispered words had the doors and windows to the station opening and they could hear the sound of several bodies moving towards them.
"She's gone," Henriksen exclaimed, eyes staring at the space Kasha once stood.
"Calm down, she's just waiting for them all to get here," Xander cautioned him, though internally he hoped he had not misplaced his trust.
It didn't take long for the possessed townsfolk to surround their little dome, but surprisingly it held against the onslaught of the attack. Just when the group started to consider really panicking several of the possessed humans started freezing in place. Like dominos they all started falling one by one, black mist rising into the air above them.
The humans watched in stunned silence as the screaming mass of black swirled in a vortex like formation just below the ceiling. A bright light started streaking through the mass, parts of it dissipating as the light destroyed those it touched, until finally the last 'demon' had been vanquished leaving nothing but a fading ceiling above them.
Silence seemed to linger for sometime before Kasha reappeared before them not looking the least bit bothered by her display of power. The Drackon glanced around, eyes glowing until finally she nodded to herself and turned to the group.
"All clear." A few hand gestures had the shield bleeding back into the symbols on the floor until it faded completely.
"Thanks Kasha." Xander grinned boyishly at the demon.
"So they're all still alive," Nancy asked fearfully as she checked one of the downed people.
"Yes, they are merely unconscious. They will wake up with a bit of a headache and feel like they came out of a bad dream," Kasha explained.
Henriksen looked around him then turned to Dean. "I saw it all and I can barely wrap my head around it."
"That's why there are so few hunters," Dean advised. "It takes a certain kind to do this work."
"I'm still not sure if that's good or bad," the agent joked back.
"Sometimes you go with what you got," Sam added, a slight smirk on his face.
"So are you gonna take us in?" Dean eyed the agent carefully?
Henriksen studied them both for a moment deep in thought. He had spent several months chasing these two and finally had them in his grip. But he also now knew the truth of what was out there and what they really did. Looking back at what he remembered of their file he did note a pattern that the deaths had started prior to the brothers showing up and ended just before they left. He had told Dean the truth when he said that he only took down a few bad guys, and sometimes they managed to get out due to technicalities. These two saved more lives than he could even contemplate and they didn't even get paid for that.
"Nah, I'll come up with something," he assured the relieved brothers.
"Maybe this would help," Kasha interrupted handing a file to the agent. "That is all you will need to clear their names of any past issues. There are those in your government that know of that side of life."
Henriksen looked more than a little put out by that but took the file. The older Winchesters looked a bit surprised at that.
"Now you three need to get out of here. I will stay to make sure things go well here," she pushed Dean and Sam towards Xander. "We will be speaking later."
Soon they found themselves outside with their kid brother and the deputy getting the Impala out of impound.
"Kasha's cool huh?" Xander looked at his brothers with a wide grin, well aware of their irritation.
The two shared a look. "Get in the car Xander. We obviously need to have a family meeting."
Dean missed the surprised look on Xander's face but Sam did not. It bothered him that even after all this time Xander still questioned his position in their family. Maybe after this talk he'd understand he was one of them and they weren't going anywhere.
