"So, how well do you know Astrid?" Dean asked me.

"Like she said we worked a few cases together. Talked about some stuff between but it was mostly just cases."

"Well she said something about a ring on your finger, but I don't see no ring, nor have I heard anything about a spouse." The unasked question was obvious. Using one hand I pulled the chain out from under my shirt to show the simple silver ring with an inscription on the inside.

"I love my wife. We were that couple, we meet in our teenage years and fell in love. Sure, we've had our ups and downs, but we always found are way back to each other. Though things have gotten hard the last little bit. But I doubt you care about that. But what do you think of your sister."

"Look, you may be friends with Astrid, but you aren't mine," he told me.

"Fine, you don't pry into my life then I will leave you alone. Let's just listen to some music and sit in awkward silence." Nothing was said till we found a place and got mister trigger happy tied up. And waited for the others to show.

"You know this isn't going to be pretty. Things may get messy if he doesn't tell us what is going on?" He didn't respond at all. It didn't take to long for the others to show. Nor to get everything set up. I got the feeling that the brothers were thinking it was more for show but I knew that Ravina cared about this Sam. Hurting anyone that she cares about is a bad idea. Over the years she has definitely earned her tittle as the Princess of Hell. Especially with as soul as black as his. Hunter's souls tended to be somewhat darker then most, but this guy was definitely one of the few that use hunting as a way to deal with the fact that they are completely sadistic.

Riva walked over to the man and woke him up.

"So, Gordon was it? As I can see it we can do this one of two ways. You can flat out tell us why you thought you needed to kill Sam, or I can show you what it is like to drown."

"You won't do it. They won't let you," He said.

"And what makes you think I will bend to their will?" Ravina questioned.

"Astrid can I speak to you for a second?" Dean asked, though his tone made it sound as though it was an order.

"Sure," She started walking outside. Dean following her out. They went far enough away to not be heard by Sam or Gordon, but they would have had to go pretty far to be out of my ear shot. Is it still eavesdropping if you can't be helped?

"Can't you just read his mind?" Dean asked.

"It doesn't really work like that. Look when it comes to strong emotions I can follow them back to get to their thoughts or if they open their mind to me, even subconsciously I can read them, but that guy is colder then ice and is on guard. I can't do it. He does have a point though. He won't break on threats alone. If you want to know anything I need you to take Sam and go on a drive. I will call when I am done."

"Astrid I can't do that. This isn't who we are," Dean told her.

"Dean, we need to get answers and that is the only way. It's either that or we skip the questions and just put a bullet in his head."

"We are not killing him." They went back in forth, but I was less focused on them as Sam came over and started talking.

"So, what are your plans for after this is done?" He asked.

"I'll most likely head back home. I'm not really a full-time hunter, if something is close by I will take care of it, but I won't go looking for trouble. I'm only here on request of your sister," I lied.

"Hmm… I was thinking that you would stay longer. Try to talk things out. I get why you are angry, but she has a good reason," he told me. I paused for a minute thinking over what he just said before responding.

"And what do you think happened between the two of us?" I asked.

"I know that you two have a lot more history then you are letting on and she left without much of an explanation. That isn't much, she didn't even tell me your real name. Just hear her out. I doubt the time you spent apart is anything compared to how long you have been together." So, Sam knows. What is Ravina plan? What was going on? It wasn't long till they came back inside.

"Sam, we are going to go get food. We'll be back in twenty."

"Dean…"

"No Sam, we are going." It was a few minutes before Gordan spoke up.

"You think that sending them away will make me believe that you have the power to make me afraid." Ravina looked at him.

"Are we honestly going use your little contraption?" I asked.

"There are a lot of easier ways to get answers," And with that she took out her phone and dialed Azazel.

"Hey, Azazel can you come here? I have a job for you. Just a simple information extraction from a tight-lipped hunter." She then hung up. Less then two minutes later Azazel showed.

"And What exactly do you want to know?" He asked.

"Why this idiot decided to throw some pot-shots at Sam Winchester." And with that he smoked out of his current vessel and into Gordan. I waited a few minutes before speaking up.

"So Sam apparent believes that we should talk out our issues. So you going to tell me the whole story?" She then took out her phone texting someone and waited for a response. Then her phone made a ding.

"Fine but not here, Azazel send me a text when you are done here." And with that she grabbed onto my arm and flew off. When we reappeared, we were in one of her many houses.

"Where are we?"

"L.A. Sadly the house in Central is currently being used by a friend. And before you go off about lending out houses and give out money the kid has enough problems without having to deal with keeping a roof over his head and food in his belly. God knows that the kid is already underweight. As for what is going on let's just be direct and to the point. Sam is Gabriel's son." She paused as though waiting for it to sink in before continuing. "Though Sam Winchester was supposed to exist he was supposed to be Mary and John's son. Dean is Michael's vessel and Sam was supposed to be Dad's. So, as you can tell I kind of have my hands full and with the real Loki being who knows where Gabe can't disappear, he can't help much. I'm just telling you now because the topic of kids with grace is hard for us both and I needed to have no distractions. Also, the less people who knew the better. Easier to just have it be me keeping mine and Sam's heads above water and cutting everyone else out then having to deal with others. I owe Gabe a lot and I won't let him lose a son like we lost ours." She knew is was a beyond low blow, but it was a way to make him understand why she played it the way she did.

"Alright I get the why, but you still should have told me. I need some time to process."

"Take the time, you have my number and I will pick up or call back as soon as possible." They just waited for Azazel to call. Sleipnir taking the body and his car with him. Sam and Dean showed up not long after that.

"Where did pretty boy go?" Dean asked.

"You do know that you are talking about a married man? And you know saying things like that make it really hard to remember that you pretend to be straight." He just rolled his eyes. "Phil have to get back home. And before you ask Walker was dealt with. Before you start getting all bitchy about it, that man was a monster who used hunting to justify his insanity. Let's just get out of here, I sure we could find another hunt somewhere close." And with that the trio got into the impala and left Lafayette, Indiana in their rear view mirror.
