*HUGE SEASON 11 SPOILERS THIS CHAPTER*

Damon was beyond the point of desperation to find Emma again. He was willing to join Dean and Sam to investigate a town in Idaho that held a possible case leading to Amara.

I remained at home with the kids. Adena and Serafina were whining constantly to me that I haven't taken them school shopping yet - yes, they are starting kindergarten in a few weeks. Assuming Amara doesn't destroy the universe of course.

Leay starts to wake up from her nap in her bouncer. "Hi, Leay!" Clifton spoke to her. "Ma, can I feed her?"

I've done my hardest to keep the memories of stealing her from another universe at bay in my mind, so Clifton can't find out. He can easily read memories and thoughts by a simple touch. There is no way he would ever understand what I did. "Sure," I get up from the recliner and head into the kitchen, walking around Lucky to prepare a bottle. As I return, I give Cliffy the bottle and get Leay out of her bouncer. As I turned to get my son situated on the couch, I felt a small whiz... and we were no longer at home. We are now in the Bunker. We're in the main room, with the table map of the world.

It's rather dark in here too.

All three of my brothers are here, standing across from my giant family of kids. "Okay, what's going on?" I asked, cradling Leay to prevent her from starting a fuss.

I heard Adena gasp as if she'd watched someone die. "I remember you!" She exclaimed. "When I was a baby!"

My very confused self, along with everyone else, followed Adena's gaze. "Who is that?" Serafina asked. There is a man standing across from my brothers. He's a few inches taller than me, wearing a white shirt with a coat over it. Brown hair, blue eyes, a slightly thick beard...

"...CHUCK?" I squealed. "But-but-! Cas said you were-!"

Two people suddenly appeared behind the prophet Chuck. Another prophet, Kevin Tran. KEVIN! Clifton drops Leay's bottle from shock, screams his name and dashes over, followed by a very happy pair of five year old twins, and Juliet. They were hugging him and overwhelming him while Dean kept asking over and over if he was okay.

The other person was a tall, pale lady. Her eyes were caramel and her hair was dark, very dark. Black, and long. I blinked and finally had the bravery to recognize her.

"Carmen?"

Gabriel's oldest (and dead thanks to Teivel) daughter gave me that stern smirk I remember her giving all too well. "Hello."

I gulped as Leay cooed happily. "Why me?" I asked her. "Why not-"

"I already got to see them," Carmen answered. "You can relax, Lynn. You think I hate you. You blame yourself for what happened. I knew what I was doing. He wanted to find you and I wasn't going to tell him."

I bite my lip. "You don't hate me?"

"Of course not, stupid."

As I laugh, a tear rolls down my cheek. Kevin looked over at me and waved. I force a smile as Chuck says to him, "Kevin. You've been in the Veil long enough. It's time for an upgrade. Carmen, you already know."

"Yep," Carmen grinned as Chuck... Chuck snapped his fingers and Kevin morphed into bright colors of white, blue and purple, and he disappeared. Carmen closed her eyes as the same thing happened to her.

Moments later, Chuck reveals himself as God.

I start laughing. "You were never funny, Chuck."

His response almost made me drop my baby. "I prefer this beard over Zach Galifianakis."

The one and only time I ever spoke to God - he appeared to me as that very actor, Zach Galifianakis. Thing is, I never told anyone this.

Anyone.

"Oh my Grandpa," was all I could muster.

It was amazing how quiet the kids were after that. Clifton finally got to feeding his sister, so that took care of them. Adena was in awe as she sat next to Sam, who would not stop talking to... Chuck. Serafina was standing near Damon, on the other side of the room. Dean was sat on a ledge in the kitchen.

"Sam, you're babbling." He finally said.

"Okay," Sam sputtered, coming to a stop.

I could feel the anger and sadness coming from Dean. He couldn't understand why Chuck had let everything that happened... happen. Thousands of years worth of bad history. "Don't piss him off," I hissed. "He'll turn you into a pillar of salt."

"I actually didn't do that," Chuck admitted.

I nearly face palmed as Chuck went on, saying, "I was so sure if I kept stepping in, teaching, punishing, that these beautiful creatures that I created... would grow up. But it only stayed the same. And I saw that I needed to step away and let them find their way. Being over involved is no longer parenting... it's enabling."

"I don't think it's gotten any better," I spoke up.

"I beg to differ," Chuck countered.


Dean mentions that my father is stuck with Amara, which led to him asking Chuck if he really did help lock her away back in the day. He quickly (and angrily) replied with a no, and expressed how pissed he was that he was sprung out, and probably formed an alliance with Amara.

In other words, God doesn't care.

Damon clenched his fists. "I'll happily deal with Lucifer," he growled. "But damn it, Chuck! Your sister has the Chosen One, too! She's brainwashed her!"

"Yeah, she reprogrammed her in regards to her title as Chosen One," Chuck replied. "If she was able to do that so easily, then it seems I picked someone weak to be my Chosen One."

I leapt over and grabbed Damon's arm to restrain him. Chuck looked unamused, and promptly walked off to go take a shower.

A fucking shower.

God.

Shower.

The next morning, I wake up to just my children. Juliet took herself home, and I let the twins go to Eisheth. Dean bluntly admitted that was a bad idea, considering she used to be obsessed with Lucifer. If she knew he was out, she'd hand my sisters off to him in a heartbeat.

"She absolutely would not," I remarked. "They're the closest to Lucifer she's ever going to have, and she won't risk changing that. She takes care of them like her own."

"Do they have any other family-?" Dean wondered. "I mean, I kind of remember..."

"Their mother, Leah, died having them. Their father... what was his name? Riley-"

"Of course it was." Sam groaned.

"Racquel croaked him I think," I said. "Right in front of me, and she never explained why. Now that I look back, she was willing to do anything to make sure they ended up under my care. She did tell me a few months later that Leah and Riley had a son, so I imagine he's still in Georgia. She said he was a couple years older, so he might be around seven."

"You ever going to let them meet?" Dean asked.

I shrugged. "Maybe one day."

Sam offered to feed and hold Leay while I cooked breakfast, since clearly none of my brothers can cook. I fried up bacon, eggs, and sausage. As I was making plates, I heard Chuck yelling. "Clifton Winchester, give back my donuts!"

"They're mine!"

"No, they're mine!"

Dean let out, "Is Chuck wearing my robe?!"

I heard Leay burp, and then Sam groaned. "She threw up on me."

I walk out of the kitchen with a large round tray, feeling like a waitress. "You made bacon?" Chuck said excitedly.

I laid out five plates and waited for Sam to clean himself up before I offered to take Leay back. "Nah, you sit down and eat." He urged. I nodded and walked around, sat across from Dean and next to my son, who had white powder all over his mouth.

"No more donuts until you eat your food," I decided.

"Okay Ma," he said, reaching for his fork. Everyone seemed to dig in, especially Chuck and that bacon. This amused Dean.

When Sam was finished, he resumed his work on his laptop, finding out that Amara wiped out an entire town in Oklahoma. Except for one person. That was queue to head out there and investigate the person.

"I want to go," Clifton sad sadly.

"No," I snapped. "If I was going, then maybe. But I can't go. I have Leay."

Clifton puffed his cheeks, moments away from throwing a fit. "We could use you." Dean said.

I heavily sighed. "It's not like I have anyone to just up and watch her!"

"Ali!" Cliffy jumped. "Ali can watch her!"

I swallowed. "Alingon-?" I named. "I..."


After an awkward "Haven't seen you since our fight with Diablo" reunion, Alingon seemed more than happy to look after Leay. "It's just this one time," I said. "I promise I won't ever ask again."

"I doubt that," he smirked. "But wherever you are about to go, please be careful." He advised, planting a small kiss on my cheek before carefully taking Leay. I buffered myself up and kissed his cheek back, then kissed the top of my baby's head before I was gone.

I'm so terrified to lose her again, but I know she is safe and healthy. Everything will be fine.

During the drive to Lewis, Oklahoma, Nephros calls me. "Hello?" I answered in a slight shock.

"Hello, Aunt Lynn," he replied. "Father wishes to speak to you or your brothers."

"We're all here, actually." I admitted. When he puts Metatron on the line, I remain quiet so he can speak. He goes on about how he knew we have spoken to Chuck, and he has some information to tell us, but will only tell it in person.

"Typical," I grumbled, relaying the information to Sam and Dean, and then messaging Damon to join us. When we make it to Lewis, we discover that the sole survivor of Amara's attack... became a prophet. He'd seen visions of the Darkness, so it led me to question: is he a prophet of the Lord? Or is he a prophet of the Darkness?

That sounds terrifying.

The prophet, Donatello, was in denial about everything for the entire ride back to the Bunker. Chuck was hanging out, eating Chinese and wearing nothing but a shirt and boxers. Clifton thought this was funny, while Donatello was ready to crap himself when he realized who Chuck was.

While Sam and Dean went to go after Metatron, I wondered why Damon never met up with us. This got answered when they returned with Metatron. Damon was close behind going down the stairs, followed by Nephros, and the silver haired angel, Luna.

Who had a very obvious baby bump.

My first reaction was supposed to be happiness and excitement: Damon and Metatron were going to be grandpas. I was going to be a great aunt. Leay would have a cousin near her age, just like Clifton and the twins, with Phoenix. Instead, this was my reaction:

"I'M NOT THE ONLY FEMALE ANGEL TO HAVE BABIES!"

Luna looked embarrassed. I went into the kitchen to make myself a drink to celebrate when Nephros poked his head in to interrupt. "Aunt Lynn, you are forgetting about Keri, Nephilim of Ciar's Heir. She has two children."

I groaned, mentally hating how Nephros is stuck knowing about every Nephilim in existence. "Neph, she's... a Nephilim. I'm more angel than she is, and Luna is more angel than both of us."

He rolled his green eyes and left the kitchen.


"The plan is to rescue Lucifer and Emma from Amara. Then they teleport us out of Amara's hideout and we convince Chuck to use Lucifer to fight her." Dean explained.

"How are we supposed to keep Amara busy while we attempt this?" Metatron wondered.

Clifton looked up at me with big eyes and a grin. "No," I denied. "You're four years old, you're too old to be talking like-"

"See GG! See Cas! See Lucifer!"

"I don't think 'GG' is gonna cut it anymore," Metatron admitted. "Time to come up with a new nickname."

Cliffy pouts.

Thanks to Donatello, we are able to find where Auntie Amara was keeping Father. Dean promised he'd be able to keep Amara distracted, but it seemed like only Sam knew what he meant by that.

Father is strung up on a railing when he stares us down as we make our way into the hideout. He promptly ignores us all and says to Donatello, "Wow. One of Dad's favorites."

"We're getting you out of here," I announced, as Metatron began starting a chant. "And you're going to help us take Amara down."

"Count me in," Lucifer replied, as Damon growled and clenched his fists. "Can someone keep that bastard under control?"

"GG!" Clifton suddenly yelled out. As if on queue, Emma appeared behind Father.

"I can't let you free him," she spoke.

"We're freeing you too!" I exclaimed. "Damon?!"

My brother forgets about Father, and walks towards Emma. "Damon," she warned. "I'm supposed to kill you!"

"You're supposed to," Damon repeated. "But you're not going to. If you love me, you won't hurt me."

Emma trembled and grit her teeth, and was completely unknown to Clifton sneaking his way over to her. "GG, look!" He yelled as he grabbed her leg and went to work. Emma was now immobile, and her face went very blank.

Damon gulped. "Don't worry," I said. "He's done this before."

Hannah rushed into the cell to stop Gadreel from offing himself, but Clifton grabbed her leg tightly, and Hannah stopped in her tracks. She was no longer in the jail. She was strapped to a table against her will, and she saw Lynn Winchester walking up to her with an angel blade.

"Go Uncle Dreel," Clifton alerted. "Get out."

Gadreel slipped out of the cell, and walked over to ours to open it. "What the hell?!" I snapped.

"It was his idea," Gadreel remarked as he got our cell door open. I raced out and dipped into the other cell, where I saw Clifton holding onto Hannah's leg. I wonder what he was showing her. Regardless, I knocked her out cold.

"Son..." I said quietly. "You..."

"Big trouble?" He said in horror, widening his amber eyes.

"No, you... are the bravest boy I've ever met," I said, lifting him up. "You did a good job."

"We have to go," Donatello said in horror. "She's coming. I can feel it."

Damon dashed over and scrunched down to lift Emma bridal style, and Clifton piled on top so he could keep her immobile with whatever thoughts or memories he was showing her. Nephros and Sam each threw one of Father's arms over their shoulders as we got him freed.

"Metatron, come on," I urged, as we were the last ones to leave.

"You guys go," he replied.

"What-?" Nephros yelped in terror.

"I'm serious. Get out of here, all of you!" Metatron ordered. He didn't have to tell the others twice, except for Nephros and myself.

"I am not leaving you, Father!"

"Son, you do as I say!" Metatron yelled. It startled me because it was so loud. I gulped and grabbed my nephew's wrist and forced him to follow me. "GO!" Metatron screamed.

"Later, Snot!" I managed to yell at him before we bounced. I barely saw him roll his eyes in response.

We fled to the Impala outside. I have no idea how we managed to fit eight of us into Baby. Sam was driving, Father was sprawled over in the passenger seat. Damon sat behind him with Emma and Cliffy in his lap, and Donatello was forced over to the middle when I shoved Nephros in and I crawled over to get comfortable with Lucifer.

As soon as Sam was driving down the road, Amara appeared, causing him to slam the breaks. He tries to put Baby in reverse, but Amara simply didn't let that happen. "None of you are worth sparing." She frowned.

As she raises her hand up to kill us, Lucifer wrapped his arm around me and pulled me towards him away from the car's dash. A second later, we appear in the Bunker as the Impala drops to the floor, causing damage and erupting smoke. Everyone gets out as I say, "Father, you can let go of me now."

He grunts and lets me out of the car. "Occasionally, I do answer a prayer." I heard Chuck say as he opens a bottle of alcohol. "You've changed." He says to Lucifer as he gets out after me.

"You've changed," he remarked back.

"Actually, I'm still pretty much the same." Chuck admitted.

I walked around the Bunker until I heard it - crying. Nephros was sat on the floor against a wall, sobbing. Luna was sat on one side, comforting him. Clifton was on the other side, quietly crying himself.

Metatron was gone. We all knew it.

Damon took a sleeping Emma towards the bedrooms, narrowly avoiding Nephros. "Lynn," I heard Lucifer address me.

"Yes?" I turned around to see that he had completely healed. His vessel - Cas - no longer looked like he was withering away.

"I have to tell you something," he started. "Before I snapped Rowena's neck, she had performed some kind of revival spell on herself that brought her back after she died."

I stared.

"I don't know when she did the spell on him, years ago or whenever you guys met her, but it worked. When you thought he was dead, he wasn't. She took him before you could find out-"

"Find out what-?" I barely let out, completely afraid of his answer.

"Murdock is alive." Father announced. "I'll tell you where he is."
