Sorry for any mistakes.

He knew it. He just knew it.

Nick was pretty sure everyone knew that he'd end up losing that challenge. As soon as Metatron said, "Convince Death to spare your partner," he was positive that they were screwed.

He barely liked his Captain. And Death saw right through his bullshit. "He's integral in putting away murderers," Nick had argued.

"But he ordered his own brother's death. I would know, the paperwork went through my office, after all," Death countered with an indifferent continence.

"They were only half brothers, though. That counts for something, right?"

Lance had a hard time convincing Death to save Oliver but he'd managed it. Managed to best him by three minutes.

Now here he is. Purgatory.

Dean- No one is your friend. Understand? It's filled with the souls of monsters.

Rosalee- I don't understand. If there is a heaven and hell then how do souls end up in purgatory?

Sam- See, when an angel falls they have to live on Earth. Once they die on Earth they end up in purgatory.

Dean- Or if you use an angel blade. Instant angel death.

Sam- Once a demon is exorcised or killed with a demon blade they go to purgatory. And once a monster dies, instant purgatory.

Dean said to look for Benny.

Dean- The only guy you can trust there is a Vamp. He probably won't eat you.

Crowley- Probably.

Dean- He's a good guy once you get past the monster part. He's Creole. Scruffy, about this high, (he holds up a hand slightly above his head), um...

Castiel- I can show you if you'll allow me?

Nick- How would you do that?

Castiel- I can use someone else's memory of him to show you through your mind.

Crowley- I know what your all thinking, but being a demon has its benefits too. And free health care. I'll be taking applications all week.

Dean- (rolling his eyes toward Crowley, he then turns to Cas) You can use my memory. Let's get this over with. (He walks over to Castiel but stops short holding up a hand toward the angel) But only Benny. Don't touch anything else in my noggin'.

Castiel- You have my word. Who's first?

Since landing here approximately two hours ago they'd already fought more than twenty mysterious monterous beings.

So far it's become obvious that searching for Benny is like looking for a needle in a stack of needles; inefficient and dangerous.

"Thank god!" Felicity announced as she jumped at Oliver once he was safely back with the others. The hug was returned for a minute until Lance cleared his throat. Quickly she pulled herself away to give Lance the same treatment. "No offense guys but I really thought you'd lose. I mean given your history and the fact that you actually hate Oliver. Plus Death seemed to know all of your dirty little secrets..." She's stopped from her ramble by a comforting hand on her shoulder.

Looking back she turned to see Dean behind her. "I'm just glad that you're both okay," she sighed.

"Unfortunately Nick and Sean aren't," Diggle added while clapping Oliver on the back.

"This just got very real," Felicity shook her head sadly turning to face Monroe holding Rosalee.

"I'm sorry about your friends," Regina said as she approached Rosalee. The latter was grasping her boyfriend's hand so tightly she might've been cutting off blood circulation.

"What do you think this means for us?" Monroe asked looking to his girlfriend as Sam approached from behind him. In a weird way he's gotten closer to Sam in only a few weeks than he's gotten to people he's known for years back home.

"You'll probably have to win the challenge and death round next time around. I don't imagine they'll give you another stand in," Sam said clapping his hand to Monroe's shoulder in comfort.

Sadly Rosalee shook her head easing up her grasp on Monroe's hand. "I just hope Nick stays safe. Who knows what they'll see there."

Nick was walking along the path they'd just wandered down after killing a bunch of things with jagged teeth, bald heads, and blue stripes on its skin. He didn't know what it was but he knew it was damned ugly.

Sean was walking with him side by side. Suddenly both were thankful for their positions in society as Grimm and Wesen. Everything was quiet until Nick heard the faint telltale sound of a twig snapping in the distant. Instantly he pulled up a hand to Sean's chest halting all movement.

His head twisted to the left by a raggedy tree trunk. The tree must have been centuries old. It was broad in width, spanning several feet outward.

Silently he gestured to the Captain with two fingers telling him to take the left while Nick, himself, went right. Without making a sound they jumped the creature on the other side, obviously turning the tables on him.

Sean had him in a headlock as Nick went to take out his legs to pin him to the ground. Once everything head calmed down with Nick and the Captain both restraining him, Nick stared wide eyed at the face that Castiel had mind blasted him with.

"Fuck, your Benny!" He exclaimed.

The vamp underneath him stopped squirming and stared intently into his eyes. "Do I know you?"

"No. But I know Dean Winchester. He needs our help. He told us to find you here" Captain said. "I'm going to let you up now. No biting," Sean pulled his hands away from the vampire and moved his weight off until he was standing a foot away.

Likewise Benny got to his feet. "No promises until you an prove your story,"

"Dean said to tell you that: Andrea was a beautiful girl" Nick stated cautiously optimistic about the situation he found himself in.

"Well, shit" he grinned. "What'd the idiot get into now?"

The next morning Monroe was sitting with Rosalee in their room. She had clung tight to him during the night in fear. He had returned the favour. His strong arms were still wound around her torso as he laid in thought.

How were they to find this woman? To kill her, would they need a special weapon? He'd spoken to Sam the night before about what purgatory was and how to send different 'monsters' there. It was the same as trying to kill different Wesen.

But how do they keep each other safe? He'd die a million times for Rosalee. He still hasn't asked her, though. What if they died before...

His thoughts were cut short by Rosalee's soft voice singing, "Once I rose above the noise and confusion, just to get a glimpse beyond this illusion," Was she singing Kansas? "I was soaring ever higher, but I flew too high. Though my eyes could see, I still was a blind man," Wait.

"Wait. Sing that again," he said pulling his arms back. He rested his weight onto his elbows as he peered down at the woman he loved.

"Though my eyes could see...?" She cautiously sang while narrowing her eyes in confusion.

"Before that," he eagerly stated.

"Once I rose above the noise and confusion, just to get a glimpse beyond this illusion..."

She stopped when Monroe's lips fell to her own. It was over before she knew it was happening.

"You're so amazing and brilliant. Rosalee, will you marry me?" He whispered against her mouth as he gazed into her eyes.

"Yes," she whispered. Their tongues tangled together for a few minutes before Rosalee had to know. "Why did you want to hear the song?"

Suddenly he remembered why he started this. His eyes widened, "I need Sam!" He jumped up searching for his shirt on the floor.

"Wait! Why?!" Rosalee said as she likewise began to get dressed again.

"Because that's how we'll find her. That's how we'll find the Queen," he watched as recognition dawned on her face.

"We'll fly above the illusion..." She whispered.

"Kansas pulls through again," Dean smirks toward his brother as they enter the warded room. Monroe and Rosalee had ambushed them on their way down to town.

"Its a great idea. Dean and I were going to map out the town today, too," Sam begins, "but how will we get up there? We don't have any planes and Cas doesn't have his wings anymore,"

"Hell, we don't even have a trampoline," Dean added sardonically. He sat on the bed facing his visitors.

"But I thought you were an angel?" Rosalee questions turning to Castiel. Her and Monroe have walked to the other aide of the room to sit on Sam's bed.

"An unfortunate side effect of falling from grace. I'd rather not discuss it," he said looking down ashamedly. He had decided to stand even as Sam took a seat next to his brother.

"I understand," Rosalee walked next to him and grabbed his hand in her own. He glanced at their hands confused. She only smiled at him in return.

Sam was shocked to see a small smile creep up the ex-angel's face. He turned to share a look with Dean that said, "holy shit".

"Does anyone else know how we might get a bird's eye view?" Monroe asked. Just as the words left his mouth the door opened to Felicity. She strode in and glanced around the room.

Taking up the spot next to Monroe, smiling at him as she did, she asked what was going on.

"Need an idea for mapping out an aerial view of the town. Got any ideas?" Sam asked wondering why she was staring at the ceiling.

"I do, but Oliver probably has better ones. He did live on an island for five years. He must've had to map it somehow," she began.

"Great," Rosalee cheered looking to the blonde still holding the angel's hand. "Would you mind getting him?"

"I don't have to," everyone looked puzzled. Felicity looked back to the ceiling. "Why don't you come down and tell them already?"

Not a moment later Oliver was dropping down from a beam over head in the corner. It was covered in shadow. Damn, thought Sam, he's one sneaky motherfucker.

"Thank you, Felicity," he sarcastically sneered at her for giving away his hiding space.

"...the fuck?! How long have you been up there? Did you watch me sleep?" Dean looked horrified at the prospect.

Sam snorted next to him. "Its not like we don't all know you snore," he said. "They've probably all heard you in their own rooms"

Dean glared at him, "shut it, bitch. I don't snore, I breathe deep, like a man. Oh, wait. You wouldn't know what that's like"

Sam opened his mouth to retaliate when Monroe spoke over him. "So what is your idea?" he addressed the vigilante.

"I used to survey the island by using trees and hilltops" he began.

"Sort of like a cartographer," Felicity commented.

"Yeah. Kind of. Here we'd have to find the center most building and then canvas around the surrounding buildings to get a good grasp aerially speaking. That's not to say that we shouldn't also have a ground team to map out the footpaths. If we find her we'll need to know the land like we were born here. This way she can't escape because we'll be prepared"

"I really hate heights," Felicity raised her hand as a schoolchild would for attention. "I'll take floor duty. I could take Dig with me. We'll take the east quadrant and I'm sure Captain Swan would take the west..."

She was cut off by Castiel's voicing everyone's question, well everyone but Rosalee who'd been with her when she had the epiphany, "What is this Captain Swan?" His blue eyes were drawn together as his head tilted to the side slightly.

"Oh. Sorry. Captain Swan is the name I came up with for Emma and Hook. It's a fan thing," she grinned.

"I still don't understand. What do rotating blades for comfort have to do with Emma and Hook?" He asked next. Possibly more confused by her explanation than by the actual ship name.

"Let it go, Cas" Sam said shaking his head, but there was a definite smile on his lips.

"Great. Now I'll be singing that sing all day," Felicity grumbled.

"It might rain. And I hear rain is a good thing," Dean smirked toward her. She blushed through her smile remembering the first time that they'd spoken.

"I'm thoroughly lost in this conversation" Castiel grumbled.

"I'll take Sammy and survey the east quadrant from above. Cas and Crowley can take the South on top while you two," he gestures to Rosalee and Monroe, "take the south bottom. The fairytalers can do the whole west and that leaves you to take up the north," Dean looked to Oliver as he wrapped up the assignments.

Oliver surprised everyone by agreeing to the plan. With another nod they were all off to spread the word and set their operation in motion.

*biting nails* So...? I'm sorry it took so long. But thanks to everyone who's stuck by my side. I really love you guys :')
