The Fix Up
Oh geez, holy hell, I am so so so sorry it's been so long for this story. I'm ashamed to say that I sort of actually forgot about it but I'm back now and I promise I won't do that again. This is going to hop between the boys and the girls. Balthazar is going to help the girls understand more about themselves.
Oh and that last episode with the Jefferson Starships (can't stop laughing lol)...some very funny moments there, especially when Dean hurts Castiel's feelings lol. Just wanted to hug the poor Angel, looking so upset and sulking.
"Dude, you married Ruby." Dean muttered.
"It's not Ruby." Sam argued. "Just...some girl that...looks like her. Apparently played her in the...show."
"You have a twisted home life here." Dean observed as they climbed out of the car back at the studio.
"Like yours is any better?" Sam questioned. Dean shrugged, not wanting to talk about how this alter version of himself spent all his money on useless gadgets and hookers. Although he wouldn't say it out loud but he did think the remote control helicopter was pretty cool.
"Hey you're back." 'Mira' called out as she walked over to them. The only thing the boys had managed to find out about her was her first name, Summer.
"Uh...yep...we're back." Dean stated.
"I can see that." Summer replied, smiling. "Well we have to go do a scene. I have no idea where Misha is but knowing him he's on twitter, chatting it up with his 'minions'." She laughed slightly. "And I have to do this fast because I have to run and do filming for another show soon."
"You uh...you've been in another show?" Dean asked.
"I've been in a couple." Summer replied, raising an eyebrow. "You know...Firefly, Terminator, The Cape. Now come on, I'm really pressed on time here Jensen."
"That would be you." Sam whispered. Dean nodded slightly and followed the girl away from his brother. Sam glanced around before heading for a row of trailers.

"How did we get out of there?" Emily asked.
"I don't know but where are Dean and Sam?" Mira asked, dropping her hands from her head and looking around.
"You willed them to safety and I just helped out a bit." Balthazar explained, standing over the girls. They both looked up at him. "They're targeted more than you two are...for now at least. The Angel community doesn't want to stress itself with Fae folk too much."
"We sent the boys away?" Mira asked. Balthazar nodded. "Wow."
"Yep...you two are a pretty strong pair." The Angel mused, walking around them to a chair. "Even if one of you has only been awaken for a short time. But that's to be expecting considering the way she was brought in." Mira and Emily looked at each other as Balthazar sat on the chair.
"How was I brought in?" Emily asked, knowing she was the one being talked about.
"Demons woke you up." Balthazar explained, leaning forward. "You're younger than Miranda but you missed the average age. Or moment. Usually high stress triggers it and I always thought that when your town got destroyed and your family killed then you would have been triggered but nope."
"So if demons...woke her up...what does that mean?" Mira asked.
"That means that she's more demonic than you, which explains her kidnapping Dean." Balthazar replied. "She would have been on a vengeance run. New powers, someone who's caused you pain is nearby, you'd want to get even."
"Sam doesn't remember." Emily spoke up suddenly. "He doesn't remember destroying my town or killing my family. And I don't know the real reason."
"Your town was overrun." Balthazar explained. "It was a demonic hell hole, pit of despair. Your family had been possessed and they probably would have killed you. When someone like Sam is soulless, they do what they know how to do and don't consider the consequences or how it'll make someone feel."
"Because he wouldn't feel." Mira muttered, remembering how Sam was just before they found out he didn't have his soul. Balthazar nodded in agreement. "So, where are Sam and Dean?"
"I'm hoping safe." Balthazar admitted. "You two sent them away, I just made sure it was a place similar but vastly different to our reality." Mira stared at the Angel. "If it happened right, they should return within a few hours...or if their lives become endangered."
"Knowing them...it'll be the second one." Mira mused out loud. Balthazar just smiled in agreement.

Sam off to the side, watching Dean and Summer. He had to admit that now that she wasn't behaving all cheerful, she did have a remarkable resemblance to Mira. Dean was a little awkward, even after getting the script to be able to know what he had to say but he seemed to be doing alright. Sam looked at the director and the other people sitting around the tv screens and raised an eyebrow at them frowning.
"He's going to be here." Summer spoke slowly, her head tilting slightly to the side in such a way that resembled Mira that Dean was a little surprised. "He's coming...you need to get out...the window...gotta find the window."
"What is she doing? Those aren't the lines." The director straightened up in his chair. Sam paused and looked back at the set.
"Mir?" Dean whispered, putting his hands on Summer's arms. "Who's coming?"
"Agent of Raph...DUCK!" Summer suddenly grabbed Dean's arms and yanked him down. Sam instantly dropped to the ground as well without knowing why until a second later. Gun shots rang through the studio and the director and crew members fell off their seats with bullet wounds. Dean pulled Summer up into a crouch and they ran with Sam following right behind them.
"Raphael's sending people to off us now?" Dean muttered, glancing around a corner, listening to the sounds of yelling and gun shots.
"Looks like." Sam replied.
"What is going on?" Summer asked. The brothers looked at her and realized just how scared she was. Whatever had happened back on set seemed to be just a fluke.
"You need to listen very carefully." Dean instructed, putting his hands back on Summer's arms to try and comfort her somehow. "You have to go through that window there and run to get help, you got that?"
"What about you guys?" Summer asked.
"We'll be fine, now go." Dean ordered. Summer looked like she wanted to argue more but then gave a nod of agreement and hurried out through the window. Dean sighed then looked at Sam. "So...any ideas how to survive this?"

Mira became aware of a creeping feeling running up and down her spine that felt like it was trying to tell her something important. When she voiced it to Balthazar, he smiled and laughed slightly. Mira looked at Emily who shrugged.
"That's good, Miranda." Balthazar went on to explain. "Your instincts are getting stronger. Now listen carefully, what's it mean?"
"I don't..." Mira started, then faded off as her head tilted. She blinked several times, her vision blurring, crossing over with seeing Balthazar and seeing Dean. She could hear her own voice, or at least a voice that sounded similar, and wondered if she was speaking out loud where she was. When she saw more then felt herself drop to the ground and heard gun shots, she knew her scream was more out loud then just in this vision scene.
"Mira?" Emily asked, uncertain.
"The boys are in trouble." Mira stated.
"Of course they are." Balthazar sighed and shook his head. "You need to pull them back."
"How?" Emily asked.
"Listen to what your instincts are saying, I can't tell you how." Balthazar explained. Mira and Emily looked at each other, worried.

Sam distracted their would be attacker while Dean snuck up and tackled the man to the ground. They fell through a set wall and Dean had a moment to wonder how and why there was a replica of the hotel room from when Gabriel had sent him and Sam into TV Land. He only wondered it for a moment before he started trading punches with the attacker.
"Dean!" Sam yelled. The older brother barely paid until he heard the ringing in his ears. He clamped his hands over his ears, allowing the attacker to draw back his leg and land a kick to Dean's midsection, sending him crashing back into his brother and both stumbled into a flimsy wall which gave way under their combined weight. They could vaguely hear a male voice screaming in protest before everything went silent and dark.
"Dean? Dean can you hear me? Sammy?" Mira's voice was panicked and worried as she gripped Dean's shoulders and shook him. He groaned and opened his eyes, blinking them a few times before looking around. He was a little surprised to find himself on a bed in a motel room. Looking to the side, he found Emily sitting on the second bed with Sam looking around the room.
"What happened?" Dean asked.
"Raphael was going to do something but me and Emily somehow sent you guys away." Mira explained.
"Then Balthazar took us somewhere to show us things." Emily continued.
"He explained more of what we are and what we can do." Mira picked up the next line.
"And then Mira felt something which led to her realizing you guys were in trouble." Emily rattled out as she picked a piece of styrofoam off Sam's shirt.
"So Balthazar barked orders at us to listen to our instincts until we finally managed it and brought you guys back." Mira finished off as she and Emily looked at the guys, waiting for their reactions.
[Holy shit.] Dean thought.
[That was a little weird how they spoke like that.] Sam thought. Emily laughed slightly and Mira gave her a look.
"So...fake Cas was right?" Dean asked. When the girls tilted their heads, it was the brothers' turn to explain what had happened.
"You were married to Ruby?" Mira asked, looking at Sam who had sat up during the explanations.
"She wasn't actually Ruby." Sam defended with a sigh, rubbing his head.
"Can we just agree to never speak of this incident ever again?" Dean asked.
"Fine." The girls agreed. Sam just nodded, more than happy to never bring up what had happened in the alternate world again.
That sort of felt like a disaster...yikes. But at least I got something and I switched it up from the show. Now like I've said before, I'm not bringing in the Mother of All nonsense but I don't know if I want to include the whole Castiel going dark and working with Crowley. He does sort of have his own story with me (IE. Shattered, go check it out if you're not already reading) so I don't know what to do with him here lol. Don't need to be giving myself two different versions of him and accidentally switch them around...double yikes there.
