Over the past six months, life had been hectic for every hunter in the world. Lucifer's second rising opened the floodgates for demons to make their way back to Earth. Luckily, the girls had angels in higher places who joined them in their fight. It definitely balanced the tide but everyone knew that the only way this would stop would be for Alex and Lucifer to duke it out. Melissa felt it was her who should've been fighting Lucifer as it was her emotional decisions that got him out of his cage, but Alex stopped her at every turn telling her that 'this was the way it was supposed to play out'. Still, Melissa knew she had to contribute somehow and decided to commune with the angels on her off time to learn some new tricks. This she kept secret from the rest of her family.
Finding herself in the Singer junkyard, Alex was pacing back and forth. She needed some air and some time to think with so much commotion in the house as of late. Knowing what she had to do to get Lucifer to his strongest and weakest point, Alex knew it was going to take a lot out of her. "Am I doing the right thing?" She said to herself as a voice came from behind her. "You're doing a courageous thing, Deliverer?" Raphael said as he gave a respectful bow. "Your thoughts are quite loud." He said as a brow raised but it finally dawned on Alex what he meant. "You all can hear me in Heaven?" She asked as he gave a nod. "Since your connection with the Messenger has been strained, your intense emotions had to go somewhere." Raphael explained but he wasn't finished yet. "What you are planning to do will most likely kill you." He informed as she turned her back and took a breath. "I know." She turned to him, a look of surprise on his face. "There's no other way. Well none I can think of than this." Alex said as he nodded. "How can we help?" He asked. "If I'm not able to defeat him, if what I'm planning to do doesn't work, I want you to get everyone away. Give me your word that you will do as I ask and not speak of this to anyone." Alex asked as she placed her hand on Raphael's shoulder. Looking down at her hand he gave a nod. "I give you my word." He told her before disappearing. At least that was in place and Alex could feel a bit better about her decision.
The repellent Alex used against Lucifer took its toll on the former angel. His skinned burned and it took weeks for it to wear off. "It's time." He called as his followers all murmured before silencing themselves. "I want you all to get into position. Seems my niece is a clever one. This won't be the quick victory I had imagined." All nodded as they made their way out of the warehouse. Turning towards a wall, Lucifer breathed in deep before he started connecting symbols together to form a triangle. A glow formed before it seemed to enter his abdomen and releasing from his back and out the building. His screams filled the building as the glow stopped and he dropped to his knee. "Finished." He panted while grinning.
Cupping the hair behind her ears, Alex closed her eyes for a brief second before taking a step towards the house. The nephilim tried her best to control her thoughts not wanting to burden her angelic friends with them. Not before she could reach the door, Alex stopped in her tracks and grabbed her stomach with wide eyes. "Ah." She gasped before falling to her knees. "Wha..." Her voice began to fade as her eyes fell shut and she slammed into the ground. Her body laid there flat and unconscious as the same glow covered her body.
Rising, Sam reached over to the other side of the bed noticing Alex wasn't there. Sitting up, he searched the room but still no Alex. Knowing that over the months she liked to walk around the yard, he went towards the window and took a look. Seeing Alex on the ground he immediately called out, "DEAN!" before grabbing his gun and stomping his way down the stairs. "SAM!" The elder Winchester called, as this alerted Melissa and Bobby. "What the hell is going on?" Singer called as all headed in the same direction as Sam. "Al? Allie?" Sam called to the girl as she didn't move. Turning her over, he cradled her and checked her pulse. Sam knew this girl would be the death of him one day. "Is she..?" Dean trailed as he ran up beside his brother, gun pointed out as the sun was beginning to rise. "Still breathing but help me get her inside." Sam looked up as Dean nodded before placing his gun to his side and helping Sam carry Alex in.
"What the hell happened?" Melissa called as she watched the guys bring Alex in. Moving to her sister, she felt for a pulse like Sam had. "She's breathing." Sam informed a little annoyed as Melissa's head snapped back at him. "Barely. Again what happened?" She stood to her feet demanding answers. Feeling her anger, Castiel appeared next to her. "Cass!" Sam called as the angel turned and saw Alex. "What happened?" He turned back for a brief moment before moving to Alex's side. "Well that's the hot button question isn't it?" Bobby finally spoke as all eyes were on Sam. "I don't know. I found her this way. Did you see anything?" Sam asked Dean as he turned to his brother. "Nothing." Dean said his worried gaze never leaving Alex. Dean had grown quite close to the young nephilim, looking at her and Melissa as sisters. "Can you do anything?" Dean asked Castiel as the angel stood to his feet shaking his head. "I cannot." He informed as Sam, not satisfied and extremely on edge, ran his hands angrily through his hair. "That's not good enough! We know who did this!" Sam looked directly at Melissa, as the hybrid had an inkling on what the Winchester was actually saying. "No Sam." She shook her head. "What else is there?" Sam retorted as Dean, Bobby and Castiel tried their best to keep up. "Someone wanna share with the class?" Bobby asked. "Sam's talking about finding the devil!" Melissa said as all eyes turned to him now. "Sam. Come on." Dean said, his voice a tad low. "What else is there? He obviously did this and we don't even know what IT is!" Sam's voice rose a full trembling octave as Alex started to wake.
"Sam...you are no match for him. Trust me!" Melissa, speaking from experience, said while grabbing Sam's arm as he tried walking away. "I'll find a way." The emotions ran high as Sam paced the room. "It's suicide, son." Bobby informed as Dean looked over at Alex not really having the words at the moment. Shocking. "Hey." He whispered, not gaining anyone's attention. Alex's eyes blinked opened slowly as she took in a breath, the arguing around her working its weird but effective magic. Before Dean could make his way over, she began to stir. "What's with the noise?" She called as everyone's head snapped towards her. Dean gave a relieved sigh before touching the top of her head. "Allie!" Sam called and like a flash had his arms around her. "You have got to stop this almost dying thing." He added. Smiling, she looked at everyone's relieved faces as she pulled Sam back. "Was it that bad?" She asked as Sam kissed her forehead. "Yea." Melissa informed her. "It was that bad." She added. "What happened?" Dean asked. "I don't know. One moment I was talking to Raphael and was heading back in, then there's pain and then nothing." Alex recalled. "Pain? Where?" Melissa asked as Alex grabbed her stomach and winced. "What the..." She trailed as she lifted her shirt and saw the marking on her abdomen. "What in the hell is that?" Bobby asked, moving closer for a better look. "No idea." Alex said her eyes wide looking at everyone. "Kinda looks like a root. Like from a tree." Melissa said as everyone agreed.
A Moment in Time
"Kinda looks like a root. Like from a tree." Melissa said as everyone agreed. Before she could utter another word, a veil seemed to drop and she knew she was no longer on the same plane as the others. "Hello?" She called, feeling a familiar presence. "Messenger." Raphael called with a bow as she gave him a smile. "Raphael what's going on and where are we?" Melissa asked. "We are in the Singer home just on another plane. I wanted to speak to you in private as this is only for your ears." Melissa gave a nod understanding that she was not to repeat what was spoken here. "In Heaven, Alex is known as the Deliverer for she will bring us out of the darkness and into a new era. This will happen with her battle with Lucifer." He said as Melissa had a smile on her face. "This means she wins then." She said noticing there wasn't a smile on Raphael's face. "Her fate is to be determined but what she plans to do will mostly likely grant her victory." He told her. "So what's the problem? Lucifer's gone we all win." She threw her hands up. "Yes. But the Deliverer possibly won't survive." He informed and her jaw dropped. "What?" She questioned. "She would not like me telling you this." "Raphael. What is she planning?" Melissa moved towards him. "Tell me." "THAT I cannot do." "What? Raphael tell me now!" Melissa shouted shaking the plane they were in. "I cannot. I was told to not breathe a word of it to anyone." He lowered his head as Melissa, pissed, turned her back and walked a few paces. "Then what's with the smoke and mirrors if you're not supposed to tell me!" A tear stained her face. "Because when the time comes she will need you. Remember what you've learned. You might be able to change her fate." He said. "What time?! Raphael! When!" She called out but without warning she was back in her plane as no one even knew she was gone.
Blinking a few times, Melissa looked around for Raphael as Castiel looked at her in confusion. Appearing next to her, he touched her shoulder. "Are you alright?" He asked as she nodded. "Fine." She smiled as he nodded at her. "What do you think it means?" Dean asked as Alex shrugged. "No idea. But whatever it is we'll be prepared, trust me." Alex gave a reassuring look to everyone in the room as her eyes rested on Melissa who looked at her friend unsure.
A few weeks had passed and Alex felt she was as ready as ever to face Lucifer. She had taken time for herself to do her spells and prepare as had Melissa, unbeknownst to anyone else. The warning Raphael gave lingered in her mind and she was praying she knew the moment Alex would need her. Dean, Sam and Bobby found themselves loading up the car with more weapons and trinkets than ever before. During those weeks Castiel hadn't left Melissa's side. His calming words and lessons from Heaven definitely strengthened her in ways she never imagined. The pure, clean power she felt from being with the angels was far different from the dark energy she once had within her. But no matter how much she grew spiritually, she continued to feel that little piece of Lucifer in her head. It fought against her new found strength and caused a war within. Still, she was ready for whatever and knew this was the time to redeem herself.
Alex appeared next to Melissa and Castiel. "Hey guys." She smiled, as she took a seat on one of the junk cars in the yard. "What's going on?" Melissa straightened up as Castiel noted the change in her. "Before we face Lucifer I wanted to do something for you." Alex smiled. "I've been working on this for some time and I think I have it now." Alex said looking at Melissa. "Me? I don't need anything." She smirked while giving a glance at Castiel and then back at Alex. "Mel..you still have a piece of him in your head." Alex tapped the side of Melissa's head as the brunette nephilim flinched at Alex's touch. "I know. But I've been trying to get him out but..." She trailed as she shook her head in defeat. "My light can. I can remove him." Alex said as Melissa was all too happy. "Why now?" Castiel asked. "Well I wasn't sure. He was deeply rooted in her mind and I wasn't sure if I could without damaging her in the process." "And now you're sure?" Melissa raised an eyebrow as Alex thumped her in the shoulder. "Completely but it's gonna hurt like a bitch though." Alex said while putting her hand up. "Ready?" She asked as Melissa nodded with a big sigh. "Do it." She said while closing her eyes. Pressing her hand to Melissa's temple, Alex began chanting as the light appeared from her hand, streaming into Melissa's mind. Gasping, Melissa grabbed Castiel's hand as a hearty yell roared from her. "Son of a!" Melissa pulled away as Alex finished. "That hurt!" She squealed holding onto Castiel. "Is he gone?" The angel asked and Melissa paused. She could no longer feel him and this placed a smile on her face. "Yes!" She wrapped her arms around Alex thanking her. "No problem. Now I'll leave you two alone." Alex winked before disappearing. Melissa's smile faded as she turned back to Castiel. "Why have you gotten sad?" Castiel asked brushing the hair off Melissa's shoulder. Knowing she shouldn't but the strength of this secret weighing her down, Melissa had to tell him. "There's something you should know." She sighed placing her hair in a high ponytail which signified how bad her nerves were.
Castiel was staring out a window as Melissa took a seat next to him. It had been some hours since she'd told him Alex's supposed fate and the angel continued to say the same thing. "We should tell Dean and Sam." Castiel turned to Melissa who quickly shook her head. "No. I shouldn't have even told you." Melissa sighed as she lowered her head. Castiel gently placed his arm around her. Looking up at her angel, Melissa smiled as she laid against him. What was she to do? How was she supposed to figure it all out and would she be strong enough when it happens?
"Dean!" Alex called as the eldest Winchester turned. "Yea." He called as Alex placed a hand on his shoulder. "Where's that knife?" She asked as Dean gave her a look. "Gotta be more specific there Al. We have a lot of knives." He chuckled taking a quick swig of beer. "The demon one. The one Ruby made." Nodding and handing his beer to her, Dean grabbed the knife from his back pocket. "Can't leave this baby laying just anywhere." Opening her hand ready to receive it, Dean quickly snatched back as he gave her a look. "What? I promise I won't hurt it. I have an idea." Raising his eyebrow, Alex gave him the look she usually gave when wanting something from Dean. He caved every time and this time was no different. "Here. But if there's one scratch..." He trailed with a point as Alex smiled taking the knife. "Thank you!" She bounced while placing a kiss on his cheek and disappearing to Bobby's panic room.
The Time Had Come
Surrounding Dean's car Alex, Melissa and Castiel placed their hands on it. Alex grabbed the passenger side where Sam sat, Melissa was on the driver side with Dean as Castiel brought up the rear. Bobby was watching from the house as Alex made him stay as she didn't want him to be in any danger. As you can imagine there was a lot of protest from the senior hunter but Alex was very persuasive. The Impala and all its inhabitants appeared on the field of Stull Cemetery. Quite fitting. "Everyone alright?" Alex asked peering into the car as Sam and Dean gave a slight nod as they adjusted to the teleporting. "Oh you'll get used to it." Melissa chuckled as Castiel even gave a little smile.
Alex immediately headed to the trunk and popped it opened. Taking a deep breath, Alex reached in and grabbed a cloth that clearly had something in it. "Guys." She called as all came to the back. Looking at each in their eyes, she knew for her this would be the last she saw of them. Little did she know, Melissa noticed the look and got a bit sad herself. "I have something for each of you." She told them as she opened the cloth to reveal 5 blades including Dean's original. "Here ya go." Dean cupped the blade in his palm as he watched Alex pass out the remaining three while keeping the last for herself. "Now I'm sure you're wondering why I'm being all serious about a blade right?" They all nodded. "Well I made replica's of the original." She smiled as they all looked down at them. "I have no use for this. I'm quite effective against demons." Castiel said. "I know Cass. But I made a bit of a modification. Usually you kill the host, but if you stab them in a non fatal part of the body, the blade will only kill the demon inside." Alex said while pushing the blade back towards Castiel as he nodded understanding why he was given a weapon.
"So you're saying we won't kill the possessed humans now?" Sam said as Alex nodded. "Yup. I infused it with my light and added blood from me and Melissa to strengthen it." "Why does this feel like a goodbye?" The always suspicious Dean asked as Alex gave him a smile. She admired that about him, she learned that from him. "I just want to give you guys the best advantage you can have. I know Lucifer will have hordes with him and I want to limit the bloodshed." She smiled while turning back to the trunk. Dean wasn't buying it and Sam could see it on his face. The younger Winchester trusted his brother's instincts and this time he sided with him. "Allie. What is it?" Sam turned the girl towards him as Dean moved over near Castiel and Melissa. "Sam. Let's just get ready ok?" Alex asked as a tear slid down her face. "Alex just tell them." Melissa said as all eyes were on her now. Alex could see that Melissa knew the burden she carried. "How? Raphael?" Alex questioned as Melissa nodded. Michael's daughter should've known. "Al?" Sam called once more as she looked between him and Dean. Lifting her shirt to reveal the marking the boys nodded. "It's a link." She said. "A link to what?" Dean asked as Alex sighed. "To Lucifer. He did a spell and linked us. If I die he dies and vice versa." Sam's mouth dropped as Alex feared to look at his face but overcame the emotion.
"AND YOU WAIT TILL NOW TO TELL US THIS!?" Sam nearly squealed as Alex closed her eyes to the boom of his voice. "Go get Bobby." Dean whispered to Castiel who then nodded and was gone. "We need to leave then. Figure out a way around this before we do anything." Dean said as Alex shook her head. "No. We do this now. We end this now!" She looked at them all including Melissa. "And you!" Sam turned to Gabriel's daughter. "Why didn't you tell us?" "I wanted to but Raphael warned me not to." She told him before looking back at Alex. "Listen. We can fight Lucifer another day. Once we figure out how to undo the link..." She trailed as Alex placed a hand on her shoulder. "There's no time. The longer the demons roam with Lucifer at the helm the worse it is. This was destiny from the beginning and it's time I stop running from it." Alex smiled while wrapping her arms around Melissa. "Take care of them ok?" Melissa nodded as the tears began to fall. Sam and Dean shared a look as Castiel appeared with Bobby.
"Finally! Bobby talk some sense into Al! She's gonna sacrifice herself." Dean filled in the hunter as Alex wiped the tears from her face. There was no time for a discussion, her mind was made up and no one was gonna stop her. Even though if anyone could Bobby might be the prime candidate, he being like a father to her. But before the hunter could get a word in the Earth trembled beneath their feet. "Time's up." Alex said as she handed Bobby her knife. "Fill him in." She told Castiel as he nodded. Reaching in the trunk, Alex grabbed another as Sam moved to her side. "Don't do this. We can figure out another way." Shaking her head, Alex slid her finger across the blade as her blood now lined it. Speaking a few words, her blood seemed frozen on the blade. It was no demon killing blade but it'll work fine on Lucifer. "Sammy, I love you so much. I can't really explain but believe me it's a love I've never felt for anyone in my life. But this is what has to happen. Do I want to die? No, but Lucifer can't stay here and neither can the demons he's released. This battle, this moment, was written before our time and we're on the last page sweetie." Leaning in, Alex placed a kiss on his lips before a pull turned her towards the center of the field.
Lucifer with a nice amount of his demonic friends appeared. Alex stepped from behind the car as Lucifer smiled. "There she is! Enjoying that present, dear niece?" He asked as Alex placed a hand over the link on her abdomen. "Not what I would call a perfect gift but what should I expect from an absentee uncle?" Alex grinned as she gripped the knife in her hand. "This link between us means nothing. You WILL die today." She told him as that smirk on his face dropped. He hadn't expected her to be so nonchalant about ending her own life. But she was Michael's daughter after all. "If I do then you do..." He said. "Then so be it!" Alex lifted her hands as the ground shook. "What is she doing?" Sam said as Melissa watched in a bit of horror. "This is really happening. She's going to die." Melissa thought to herself as Alex turned and looked at her sister. "GET DOWN!" Melissa called to the others as everyone dropped and a wind rushed in that knocked the possessed humans on their asses. "Now!" Alex called as she charged Lucifer and the others were right behind her taking out demons.
Lucifer looked around at the carnage, as his demons were dying and the humans were fleeing. "What did you do!?" He growled as he grabbed Alex by her throat. "A little something called 'evening the playing field'." She smiled while swiping at his face with her blade. Stunned, Lucifer stepped back as the blood flowed down his cheek. "A little modification to that blade one of your followers made. If she wasn't dead I would thank Ruby for her help." Alex said with a smirk as she planted her feet into the ground. Rubbing her thumb across her blade she collected not only her blood but Lucifer's as well. Noticing this he pointed at her. "What are you doing?" They circled each other as Alex began chanting in enochian. Her eyes turned white as she started making symbols in mid air. "I'm ending this!" Slicing her palm, she placed her hand on the symbol as Lucifer cried out.
"Its begun!" Raphael's voice rung out in Melissa's head. "ALEX!" The nephilim called as the hunters looked exhausted from fighting off the hordes of demons. They all turned to see Alex looking back at them before turning back to see Lucifer rising to his feet, more powerful than ever. "What is this?" He asked looking down at his hands. His body seemed to radiate. "You like links so much figure it out!" Alex said as one of Lucifer's followers crept up behind her. "Al!" Dean called as she stretched her hand out and captured the demon. The power Lucifer had she now shared. "Want me to show you?" Lucifer looked up as his eyes had a glint about them. It was like he wasn't alone in his own body. Taking her blade, Alex sliced the arm of the demon as Lucifer flinched slightly. "His wound. Your wound." She smiled before tossing the demon some feet away. "You linked me to these abominations, which in turn made me even more powerful!" He exclaimed before he moved in front of her in a flash. "Why in hell would you do that?" He once again grabbed Alex by her throat. The cracking noises made it painful for her family to look on.
"Because now we're all linked. If I die...you die.." Lucifer looked around as more demons began to appear. "They die!" Alex raised her hand in the air and slowed time one last time as she began to slip from Lucifer's grasp. Noticing this, Melissa realized their connection had indeed returned but why at this moment in time? Melissa tried to move to Alex but she couldn't. The weight of pain she felt radiating from Alex was paralyzing. Fighting through it Melissa tried to make her way over only for time to start back up. "NO!" She called as she watched Alex jam the knife into her chest which sent out a ripple that knocked everyone down. Looking around, all the humans were collapsed on the ground, their demons having been killed and their lives spared. "Mel?" Sam called as Melissa sprinted to Alex whose body laid still on the ground. Sliding to the ground as if stealing home, Melissa grabbed her friend, her sister. "Allie...Al! ALEX!" Her voice echoed in the field as the boys, Bobby and Castiel rushed over to see the last breath released from her lips. "Alli.." Sam trailed as he dropped to his knees. The tears were inevitable as Dean moved down and wrapped a arm around his baby brother. Castiel found himself next to Melissa as she rose to her feet and wrapped her arms around him. He held her as best he could. He couldn't explain this feeling inside. One of anger and sadness wrapped into a ball. Looking around at the faces he knew his matched and understanding took hold. Bobby turned his back not wanting anyone to see his face. That girl was like his kid, as they all are.
Melissa couldn't bear this pain she felt. Closing her eyes as tight as she could she heard a voice in her head. "She will need you. Change her fate. Remember what you've learned." The voice was faint but she heard it clear as day. Snatching back from Castiel's embrace Melissa wiped her face. "Wait." She paced while everyone still in their grief watched her. "Raphael told me! He told me she would need me, that I might be able to change her fate." Melissa ranted as she ran her fingers through her hair. "Mel what are you talking about." Sam asked as Dean helped him to his feet. "Raphael knew! He knew she would die! So he came to me and told me she was going to die. Why would he do that if he didn't think I could save her?! Right?!" She looked at them all with the craziest eyes ever. "I think it's the grief talkin Mels." Dean said as he reached for her. "No!" Pulling away, Melissa looked around before finding the blade Alex used to end the apocalypse. "I'm bringing her back!"
Melissa fell to her knees beside a still Alex. Moving to slice her hand, Dean grabbed her before she could do anything. "Let me go Dean. I have to do this!" "She's gone Melissa! There's no bringing her back!" Dean yelled as Melissa shook her head. "You don't get it!" Pushing Dean back she stood to her feet. "Before she died our connection came back! I felt her die Dean! I felt her pain! Through it all she wasn't afraid because she knew that I was there with her! That I would be with her!" Bending back down she looked at the men before her. "All this time you guys placed your faith in Alex and you've been right to. But I'm asking you now to place that same faith in me. Please." She looked at them all as one by one they gave her a nod of approval. Smiling Melissa brushed the hair off Alex's face before leaning in. "I'm coming Al. I'm coming to get you." Moving to slice her hand again this time Bobby stopped her. "Hey hey! How do you know you won't bring back Lucifer?" Bobby pointed to his hollow shell of a corpse. Sighing, as she was interrupted again, Melissa explained. "Alex said the link was a 'death link' which means the only way to unlink them would be in death. Once they died the link was severed. When I bring her back, I'm only bringing her back." Bobby nodded and Melissa continued.
Slicing her hand, she tossed the blade on the ground. Dipping her finger into her palm, as if it were a feather and her palm a jar of ink, Melissa drew a cross on Alex's forehead and placed her bloody palm over Alex's punctured heart as the blood seeped into the wound. Breathing in deep, Melissa began chanting and chanting. The time passed quickly and the sun was dying down. No one dared speak as they had placed their faith in Melissa. Removing her hand, she sat in disbelief that Alex hadn't breathed or moved in that entire time. Rising to her feet, she didn't want to see the look on their faces. "WHY DIDN'T IT WORK! YOU SAID OUR POWERS, OUR BLOOD WAS UNLIMITED THE POSSIBILITIES! SUCH BULLSHIT!" She screamed to the Heavens, more specifically her father Gabriel. "ALL THAT TRAINING I DID WITH ANGELS! Trying to redeem myself and it was FOR NOTHING! NOTHING!" She screeched before grabbing Alex's hand. "I'm so sorry. I tried, I really did." Her voice cracked as Castiel grabbed her hand. Sam moved over and grabbed Alex's hand. Dean held his brothers hand before placing his other on Melissa's shoulder. Bobby moved over behind the group and placed a kiss on Melissa's forehead.
Without warning, the cross on Alex's head began to fade and the color returned to her face. In unison, Melissa and Sam shared a look. Looking down at their hands, each holding one of Alex's, they could feel warmth. "Alex?!" They called as everyone looked down and noticed the young woman opening her eyes. "Oh my god." Bobby called as Alex took in some air before shooting up. The look on her face was one of being tired. Placing a hand on her heart, Alex let out a smile and a tear before looking at Melissa. "You did this huh?" She smiled, her voice a tad ragged, as Melissa nodded through her tears. Reaching, the two embraced as Alex gripped her sister tightly. "I knew you would save me." She said pulling back with a smile. "But how? I thought it didn't work." Melissa said before Sam damn near pushed the girl away while wrapping his arms around Alex. Pulling back he placed kisses all over her face before Dean snatched him up. "Let her breathe dude." Dean said giving Alex a wink. "Nice to have you back, kid." Bobby said. "Yes. I find my grief nearly gone at your return." Castiel slightly smiled with a nod. "Thanks guys. Can someone?" Alex asked placing her hands in air as everyone helped her off the ground. A tad weak, her knees wobbled before being held by Sam. "Mel. Bringing someone back from the dead is tough work. The power alone is a lot. You did everything right but there wasn't enough power behind it initially." Alex smiled as she looked at everyone. "Wait. You're saying." Melissa smiled looking at everyone as well as Alex nodded. "Yup. When you guys surrounded Melissa and touched her, that love and faith gave her the extra power she needed to bring me back. Our abilities are nothing without love. It's fueled by it, runs on it." Alex added before she and Melissa turned.
"Congratulations you two." Michael and Gabriel appeared. The girls just nodded. "Happy to see you alive, Mi'ykal." Michael smiled as Gabriel nudged his brother. "My girl got skills huh?" Everyone shook their heads as Alex cleared her throat. "What now?" "What do you mean?" Michael seemed confused which was a first. "Lucifer's gone. For good. What happens to us now?" Alex inquired as Melissa turned to the archangels as she wanted to know as well. "Now. Now you live your lives. Be hunters. Be in love. Be family." Gabriel said before he and Michael were gone and the group stood there in silence.
Epilogue
So as you would know, hearing your uncle say that the next chapter of your life is up to you and not in some grand design, was freaky and no one knew how to react. But we did eventually head back to Bobby's to figure out what we would do next. I mean there weren't any looming threats over our heads and of course the demons wouldn't stop coming just because Lucifer was dead, but it was silent for awhile on the demonic front and that was nice. It wouldn't last, cause I'm sure you all know that all the demons didn't disappear when Lucifer did...yea you knew that, but it felt great to breathe for the first time in years. But I'm sure you're wondering what has happened to the lot of us since the big apocalypse that never happened happened. Let's start with Bobby.
Bobby Singer, father to us all, continued living at the Singer Salvage helping out other hunters when need to be. Which wasn't as much as he used to thanks to us. So in his free time, the old hunter took up some hobbies. He fished...yea that's about it fishing was his hobby and tossing back a few brews before dinner. Bobby keeps in contact with me and Melissa and his home continued to be a shelter to his surrogate family.
Having delivered the world from the ultimate evil, I was revered in Heaven as the
Deliverer and all of Heaven was at my command. You could say I was Michael's instrument on Earth. I'm still hunting with Sam and Dean. Sam proposing a year later and I did say yes. Dean was Sam's best man and Melissa my maid of honor. Sam, Dean and I consider ourselves a tight unit and tend to stick together. My destiny having been met, Melissa was starting to fulfill hers.
After Lucifer's defeat, Melissa went through what you would call a metamorphosis. Having truly redeemed herself, in the eyes of her family and the angels by bringing me back, Melissa's connection to God was complete and she became a Prophet of the Lord and was able to ease a person's pain with her touch. Castiel stayed by her side as they traveled around finding people in need. Not being officially married on paper, Castiel and Melissa went through a bonding ceremony that was performed by Chuck, Melissa having a direct line to him now, and everyone was present.
With our connection restored and stronger than ever, me and Melissa can now sense each other over states and more, which comes in handy when either needs some extra hands in a case. Because of our connection to each other and the individual ones we share with Sam, Dean, Castiel and Bobby, the guys are able to call us simply by thinking of us. To sum up, we're good, the Earth is good, demons are bad and all of this was Written Before Our Time.
Bye!
I hope you guys enjoyed.
