A/N: And so this is the end... ENJOY!
Dean sat on the edge of the bed in one of the rooms upstairs in the abandoned house they were currently taking up residence, when something caught his eye under his foot. He moved his foot aside and reached down to pick up a tiny shoe.
"I'm still not sure about this" Dean said following behind Katie who was pushing a cart filled with clothes, toys, diapers and probably everything else they would need before the baby came. She looked over her shoulder to her husband. "There's still demons and probably everything else after you and that kid"
"Which is why I have my big strong husband here to protect me" Katie replied with and smile and Dean couldn't help the smile that came to his face. "Now c'mon, we have this big room in our new house"
"Lacey already bought things for the kid" Dean said looking down at bottles of different shapes and sizes.
"Yeah, well this is my kid and I will have some input" Katie said turning and continuing to push her cart when Adam ran over and dumped some things in her cart. "Hold,it!" Katie yelled before he could run off. She reached down and picked up a jar of baby food. "What is this?"
"Baby food?" Adam replied looking over to Katie confused. "You're having a baby and I thought they would need food, and they have a lot" Adam reached in the cart. "Look, peaches, peas, applesauce, this one says turkey and gravy" he looked back over to Katie. "It's like a full meal in a little jar" Katie and Dean both looked to Adam hoping this was a joke, but he was serious.
"Adam" Katie sighed. "Newborns can't eat baby food, not at least for a couple of months"
"Oh" Adam said looking down in the cart. "Right, I knew that" he picked up the jars and headed back to put them away.
"Wow" Dean said and Katie just laughed and shook her head.
Dean smiled down to the shoe, when a light knock sounded from the door. Dean turned to see Sam standing there looking over at him.
"I know I should at least be relieved that it's Adam who has her" Dean said looking back down to the shoe. "But he's just a kid, who barely knows how to handle a gun" he looked over to Sam. "How will he protect her?"
"Dean you and I both know he'll do anything and everything he has to" Sam replied. "I honestly believe Hope is safe with him"
"I don't understand" Dean replied. "Katie didn't even know Hope was missing, so if the plan was to jog her memory, what is he waiting for?"
"Maybe the right time" Sam said. "I don't know, I do know that whatever happens, it's going to happen tonight"
"The full moon?" Dean asked and Sam nodded.
"So we have to find a way to get to the real Dick, before Katie can lock that door" Sam replied.
"I don't know if she will" Dean said looking at the shoe. "You didn't see her when I told her I didn't know where Hope was" Dean shook his head before turning back to his brother. "I could've sworn she was back, but then she was gone again."
"Right now we can't bank on a sudden change of heart" Sam said and Dean nodded. "We have to find the real Dick and finally end this, and hopefully be able to help get the real Katie back"
"Right" Dean said sitting Hope's shoe down on the table. "Any luck with Cas?" They found out once they returned that Castiel may be able to spot the real Dick Roman if he saw him. The only thing was Castiel was still adamant about not getting into this fight.
"No" Sam replied. "He's still downstairs playing twister" Dean sighed.
"He was in there" Sam said. "The only question is what would the real Dick Roman be doing?" Dean shrugged.
"Is that the best you can do?" Both men turned in surprise to see Bobby. They thought once he left that maid's body, that he was gone. "Idjits"
Jason, Derrick and Meg, stood off to the side watching as Castiel spun the wheel from the twister game.
"This is beyond weird" Derrick whispered over to Jason. When Jason didn't reply Derrick turned to see his friend just staring off into space. "Hey" Derrick lightly elbowed his friend. "What's up?"
"I tried to locate Hope" Jason said. "With a spell, but it didn't work"
"What does that mean?" Derrick asked.
"It means, there's someone shielding her from your magic" Meg commented and both Derrick and Jason turned to him.
"Meg, was it?" Derrick asked. "We-" he pointed between himself and Jason." Want to kill you" he smiled. "So let's not mistake this for more than what it is" Meg rolled her eyes and walked away. "Is what the soulless bitch said true?"
"Yeah" Jason replied.
"Well unless Adam has suddenly come into some powers or—"
"He's with someone who does" Jason says looking over to Castiel before walking over to the angel. "You know where Hope is?" Castiel's eyes looked up to Jason before standing to his feet.
"No" Castiel replied.
"Well then you know who she's with?" Jason asked.
"She's with Adam" Castiel replied matter of factly but Jason's patience was wearing thin.
"No, you know who else she's with" Jason stated this time as a fact rather than a question. This time it was the angel that was silent, and turned his eyes from the man. Jason grabbed Castiel by the shirt and Meg took a step toward them.
"Ah ah" Derrick said and Meg looked over to see his gun pointed right at her. "Don't even think about it"
"Is it one of your brother or sisters?" Jason asked and Castiel remained silent. "Why are you protecting them!" Jason shook Castiel by the collar before being pulled away. He looked over his shoulder to see Dean and Sam.
"What are you doing?" Sam asked looking over to Jason.
"I'm trying to find my niece!" Jason snapped before turning back to Castiel. "There's no way Adam just disappeared out of here without any help" Sam and Dean looked over to Castiel. "Who helped him?"
"Cas?" Dean asked and the angel looked over to his friend.
"Hope is safe" Castiel replied. "Your brother's idea is the best way to get Katie back to where she is needed"
"But it's dangerous!" Jason snapped. "We don't know how far Katie's gone, and we don't know if she wouldn't just kill them all, just tell us who has her?"
"No" Castiel replied firmly. "You have to have faith that everything that has been happening is happening for a reason" Jason growled before taking another step toward the angel but Sam and Dean just pulled him back again.
"Cas!" Dean called. "I need a wingman" Castiel looked over to him confused.
"Dean—"
"You don't want to jump into the jaws of death, that's... fine. How about we run a little errand?" Dean replied.
"An errand?" Jason snapped looking over to Dean. "Seriously, Dean you don't know where your infant daughter is, and he does" Jason pointed to Castiel. "That doesn't bother you just the slightest bit?"
"I'm handling it" Dean said with finality in his voice. "C'mon Cas" and the two left the house without another word.
"I don't get it!" Jason snapped turning to Sam. "My sister is being taken over by an evil bitch, my eight month year old niece has been kidnapped by you dumbass brother and no one seems worried!"
"Right now we need to have clear heads" Sam said. "We're not gonna help anyone blowing up at everyone, we all want to find Hope and we all want to find a way to help Katie and I know we all want Dick dead, so calm down and help us figure out a plan" Jason looked at Sam long and hard before finally giving a nod.
There was a loud screeching sound, like fingernails being dragged over a chalkboard.
"Hello?!" Katie called her voice echoing in the darkness around her. The last thing she remembers is Dick poisoning her and then darkness. Now she doesn't know where she is. "Is someone there!" suddenly a spot light shines right in front of her and there sitting is herself. "What the—" she blinks and opens her eyes, but she still sees her own face. "It's you, isn't it?"
"Well, yeah"
"You're dead!" Katie yelled. "I killed you"
"No, you can't kill me. You know that, I'm like one of those annoying cats that lives even after being hit by a train"
"I will not let you out" Katie growled. "I have never felt so free as I do now and I will now be trapped in your pathetic goodness anymore" she pulled at her arms and for the first time noticed the cuffs that held her to the wall. "I am evil, this is what I was born for and I refused to be pushed in a corner by you"
"You don't have much of a choice. When you wake up Dick's gonna make you lock that door, and then he's going to force you to be bound to him, forever"
"That won't happen" Katie said. "You know what even if it did, it would be a better life than the one you've force on me, a life a misery and pain and disappointments—"
"And love, happiness, joy."
"I know what you're doing and it won't work" Katie spat. "I am here now, and there's nothing you can do to change it."
The real Katie stood to her feet and walked over placing her face so close that it was like looking in a mirror.
"Wanna bet"
Her eyes snapped open to the ceiling of her room. She looked around realizing she doesn't remember even coming to the room. She shot up from the bed looking down at herself and finding herself dressed in pajamas she doesn't remember putting on. Immediately disgusted she jumps from the bed and stalks to the door. She grabs the nob and turns it, but it doesn't move. She can't believe he locked her in here. She banged hard against the door.
"Let me out of here!" Katie screams before banging once more, when suddenly she hears the loud ringing of a telephone. She turns her head to the cordless phone that sits on the bed side table. She walks over and lifts the phone to her ear.
"Aw" a voice purrs from the other end causing her stomach to turn. "You're awake"
"What the hell did you do to me?" Katie growled into the phone. She runs her hand through her hair trying to remember.
"I just gave you a little something to knock you out" Dick replied. "After I found out about your big plans, I had to change mine around a bit, nothing major, you're just gonna be locked in that room until it's time for you to lock the door"
"The hell I am!" Katie snapped. "Open that door, now!"
"Look, just get some beauty rest" Dick says. "Midnight will be here before you know it" and with that he hung up the phone. Katie angrily tossed the phone into the wall smashing it into pieces. She looked over to the door before walking over and trying the nob again. An idea suddenly came to her mind and she stepped back and held out a hand. Focusing as best she could to open the door, but nothing happened.
"Damnit!" Katie snapped.
"That's not yours" a voice said from behind her and Katie turned to see Lux lying back on her bed smiling. "So stop trying to use it"
"You should want out of this room as much as I do" Katie snapped. "Help me get out of here"
"Ok" Lux said. "First crawl back into the hole you came out of" Katie angrily shook her head before turning back to the door. She went back to pounding it with her fists.
Adam paced back and forth in front of the large church. His mind racing with doubt that he was being an idiot. But his gut was steadfast, this was the only thing to do.
"You should really get some sleep" Urim said as she and Balthazar sat watching the young man.
"I'm not tired" Adam muttered as he continued to walk.
"You're exhausted" Urim said standing to her feet. "We can watch her—"
"No" Adam said stopping and turning to the angel. "You wanted me to do this, then fine, but that now means, my eyes are always on her, if anything happens to her it will be on me, got it?" Urim only nodded. Adam turned looking over to Hope who was still asleep in her bassinet. "He's probably worried sick" Adam turned back to the angels. "We need to let him know that she's ok, one of you have a phone?"
"No" Balthazar said standing to his feet. "Look you talk to him and all that big brother control he has over you will send you right back there"
"We have to do something!" Adam snapped his voice echoing.
"Will you keep your voice down" Balthazar said looking around the church before turning back to Adam. "Fine, I'll go, tell him she's alright"
"I don't think that's a good idea" Urim said standing to her feet. "The last thing Dean wants is for his daughter to be away from him, but even more that that he doesn't want to know that she's with you" she turns to Adam. "I'll go" and with that she was gone.
Urim appears surrounded by trees before turning and spotting Dean and Castiel talking.
"Well, according to Crowley, Dick knows we're coming, so we're gonna announce ourselves – big." Dean says and Castiel nods before lifting his head meeting his sister's eyes. Dean turns and sees the angel. "What are you doing here?"
"I came here to talk to you" Urim said taking a couple of steps toward him. "It's about—" she was hesitant. She knew the man in front of her cared for nothing the way he cared for his family, so she expected his reaction would not be pleasant. "It's about Hope" she noticed his eyes darken as he takes a step toward her trying to close the distance, but she backs away. "Dean, she's safe!"
"Where is she!" Dean growls reaching for Urim, but she slips from his grasp. "I should've known you were behind this" he shook his head. "Here I was thinking it was Balthazar, but it was you"
"I understand you're upset, but—"
"You understand!" Dean repeated angrily. "You take my god damn daughter without even a word leaving me scared to death, and you have the nerve to stand there and say you understand?"
"Dean, I—" Urim stumbles over her words, which rarely happens. She knew what they did was right, that it was the right thing to do, but she wanted to avoid was thinking of Dean's feelings. The worry and the fear would've been enough for her to second guess herself. "I'm sorry"
"I don't want your apologies!" Dean snapped. "I want my daughter back, now!" Urim stared at him for a moment, the seriousness so evident in his eyes.
"I can't" she said and he took another step toward her before she was gone. Dean growled angrily before turning back to Castiel.
"Do you know where they've take her?" Dean asked and Castiel only nods. "Is she safe?" And the angel nods again. "Take me to her"
"I'm sorry, I can't" Castiel replies.
"Why the hell not!" Dean snapped. "They kidnapped my daughter and plan on throwing her in the middle of this messed up war" Castiel didn't say anything. "She's just a baby, she's my baby" Castiel looks to Dean for a moment realizing he's never heard Dean say those words about anything or anyone other than his car. A car he had an unusual affection for, in the angel's opinion.
"Dean, believe me when I say your daughter is safe" Castiel replied before placing a hand on Dean's shoulder and walking past him toward the house.
Sam, Derrick, Jason and Meg look up as Castiel walks back into the house. A few moments later Dean storms in after him.
"We're not giving him midnight" Dean says and they all look to him confused. "Pack up, we're heading out"
Urim appeared back into the church to find Balthazar and Adam standing over Hope's bassinet.
"I don't get it" Balthazar said pinching his nose closed as Adam changed the little girl's diaper. "Where did all of that come from?" He took a step back as Adam handed him the diaper. "I don't want that" Adam only glared at him before the angel grudgingly took it and went to toss it in the garbage.
"All clean monkey" Adam said as he finished changing the diaper. He picked her up into his arms before turning and noticing Urim. "How did it go?"
"Not good" Urim said walking over to Adam.
"I knew this was a bad idea" Adam said shaking his head. "Dean's gonna hate me, and I can't blame him"
"Look, this will help us get her back" Urim said. "I know it will, you just have to be patient"
"What are we waiting for?" Adam snapped.
"Our inside man" Balthazar said walking over. Adam looked over confused. "Or inside girl or—" He looked over to Urim. "What would you call her?"
"Our inside Lux" Urim replied and Adam turned to her. "She's gonna let us know the moment Katie gets close enough to the surface, so we can pop over and help her the rest of the way"
The first thing Katie did was shower and change. She didn't even want to think of someone's hands on her, dressing her while she was unconscious. After changing Katie sat in the middle of the bed her knees drawn into her chest as her hands clamped over her ears. She wanted out and without any powers she didn't know how that was even possible.
"It's not" a voice said and Katie lifted her head to see Lux standing there looking at her. "You're stuck, and there's only one way out"
"I'm not giving up" Katie said. "This is where I belong, this is my true nature"
"This is not your true nature" Lux said with a smile. "This is the easy way out, you know how I know you won't beat her?" Lux walked closer to Katie. "Because she was able to choose keeping you locked away when it was against nature"
"If she's so strong, then how am I here right now!" Katie snapped sliding off the bed and standing to her feet. "If she's so strong why doesn't she pull herself out right now and take back her body?" Lux was silent before turning from the witch's eyes. "Oh, now nothing" and then the girl was gone. "Thank you" Katie slid back on the bed, lying back and closing her eyes.
Katie looked over to Dean whose hands were firmly grabbing the stirring wheel of the impala. The sound of honking horns echoed around them as cars passed by them. Katie turned back to see Hope strapped snug in her car seat before turning back to Dean.
"Babe, you do know the speed limit is usually the speed you should drive?" Katie asked. They just left the hospital after Hope was born and now Dean was being overly cautious.
"This speed is nice and safe" Dean said not sparing her a glance.
"Yeah, but someone's grandma just passed us by on her walker" Katie said looking out the window. She looked over to Dean. "Babe, I get you want make sure she's safe, but this is ridiculous, drive the car"
"This speed is nice and safe princess" Dean repeated and Katie only shook her head as the horns continued behind them. She turned and looked back to her daughter. "Plus she's small and she can break easily"
"Aw, sweetie, your daddy's crazy" Katie said laughing before looking over to her husband. She shook her head before just sitting back and enjoying the nice and safe ride.
Katie's eye snap open and she sighed deeply to herself.
"She's not here because she doesn't know how strong she is" Lux says and Katie turns to see the little girl lying beside her.
Dean was tossing his bag in the trunk of the impala. If they were doing this, then they were going to do it right and that meant he was going to have his car. He heard footsteps and turned to see Sam walking over to him.
"Dean" Sam says and Dean sighs.
"I'm fine Sam" Dean remarked slamming the trunk closed.
"But you're not" Sam replied. "Is this about Adam, because Cas told us about Urim" Dean shook his head. "This is about Katie isn't it?"
"I don't want to talk about it" Dean replied before walking around his brother.
"You're wondering what happens if it doesn't work" Sam says and Dean stops, his back still to his brother. "What if you can't get her back, or if she's really gone"
"She's not gone" Dean said his voice quiet. He turns to Sam. "She can't be gone, because if there's one thing I know, it's that our daughter needs her more than I could ever imagine" He runs his hands through his hair. "So we go in there, we kill Dick and then we get my daughter's mother back" Sam only nods as he watches his brother slide into the driver's side of the car. Sam looks over to Jason and Derrick as they get into their truck as well, before climbing into the passenger's.
"Everyone ready?" Dean asks gaining two nods from the demon and angel in the backseat. He looks over to Sam who nods as well before pulling off.
It was the middle of the day and true to his word Dick was keeping Katie locked away in her room. She was lying back on her bed in the middle of Lux latest memory when the door slowly opened. Two men walked in, one with a tray of food.
"I'm still not sure about this" the men with the food said as they peeked over to Katie.
"Look just put the food on the table and let's just get out of here" the other man said. Both walked over to the table and slid the food down. Both letting out deep breaths before turning around and seeing the bed now empty. "Damnit!" they both looked over to the door just in time to see her slip out. "I'm calling the boss" and then both men ran out.
Katie's feet carefully padded the hardwood floors of Sucrocorp as she looked for a way out. She stuck to the walls, peaking around corners. When given the room, Dick told her she'd pretty much have the floor to herself, but she wasn't taking any chance. She spotted the elevator and ran over repeatedly pushing the button for it to open.
"Hey!" she turned to see the men from before, now realizing they were leviathans. She heard the ding of the elevators and turned to see them sliding open. She rushed in pressing buttons to get the doors closed as the leviathans got closer. She thought she was done for when she came face to face with one of them, but the doors simply shut before either of them could do anything.
Katie released a breath of relief as she slouched back against the wall. She looked up to see the numbers of the elevator getting lower and lower until she hears a screeching sound and suddenly the elevator stops. Katie stands off the wall and walks over pressing random buttons to try to get the elevator moving again.
"I hope that wasn't your big escape" a voice says from beside her. Katie turns to see Lux once again. "Because even I saw this coming, you should've taken the stairs"
"Bite me" Katie says pressing the buttons of the elevator again.
"And here I was thinking your room was comfortable enough for your wait" a voice booms from the intercom inside the elevator. Katie lifts her head instantly recognizing Dick's voice. "But if you prefer the elevator, than who am I to object"
"Let me out of here!" Katie yelled looking up to the camera she was sure he was looking at her from.
"I will, when it's time" Dick said. "But for now, enjoy some music" and suddenly music started playing. It was so old boring song that you'd expect to hear on an elevator. Katie snarled before turning and stopping dead in her tracks at the two new faces that appear.
"Hey there witchee pants" Balthazar greets and Katie looks between him and Urim. "Long time no see"
"What are you doing here?" Katie asks taking a step back. She knew this was another ploy to bring back their Katie, and in such small confines there was much she'd be able to do.
"Oh, we got the call" Urim replied. "Apparently its time for you to finally go back to where ever it is you've came from"
"Really?" Katie asked her back finally hitting the doors of the elevator. "Well give it your best shot Urim, but I can promise you, it won't work" Urim and Balthazar shared a look with a smile that only made Katie uneasy. She watched as they parted revealing the two people standing behind them. It was Adam and he was holding Hope securely in his arm, watching Katie warily. They all looked over to Katie, whose eyes seemed to be locked on the little girl in the room.
"Ok little one, there are a couple of things I should tell you before your daddy comes back to take us home" Katie says staring down at the little bundle in her arms. "The first thing you should know is that our lives are not going to be easy. You've been born into quite the exciting family" Katie ran a finger down the girl's cheek. "But don't worry because I can promise you that none of our exciting lives will ever see you, for a couple of years… hopefully." Katie smiled as Hope yawned the tiniest yawn she'd ever seen. "God, how can I love you this much?" she pressed a kiss to the girl's forehead.
"So?" a voice said from the door and Katie turned to see a smiling Dean. "My girls ready?" Katie smiled before looking back down to Hope.
"You ready to go home Hope?" Katie asked before looking over to Dean. "I think we're both ready"
"Well then, let's get the hell out of here" Dean said before walking over to his wife and daughter.
"What's happening?" Adam asks watching an unmoving Katie. "Is it working?"
"I don't know" Urim says her eyes on Katie as well.
"Well something's happening inside that head of hers" Balthazar asks taking a step toward Katie. "Witchee pants, you ok in there" Katie's eyes snap close as she turns her head and slides to the floor. "Hey!" Balthazar goes over crouching down in front of her. "Talk to me" Katie opens her eyes and turns to the angel as he waits for a response, but all he gets is a whack to the head.
"It didn't work" Adam says taking a step back. He looks over to Urim. "Get us out of here, now!"
"Wait" Urim says looking over to Katie.
"You son of a bitch" Katie says still looking over to Balthazar. "You brought my daughter here" Balthazar smiled but Katie only smacked him again. "I'm serious" she slid to her feet and turned to Urim. "This was dangerous"
"But it worked!" Urim said with a big smile. "You're back"
"Wait, she's back?" Adam asked turning to Katie. "How do we know she's really back?" Katie smiled over to him before walking over.
"Good question" Katie says until she's standing right in front of him. He looks at her suspiciously at first but then he can see it in her eyes, it's—it's her.
"Katie?" Adam asks and she nods before holding out her hands. He looks down before slipping the little girl from his hands into her mother's.
"Hey there" Katie hugged her daughter placing kisses wherever she could. "You saved your mommy you know that" Adam smiled as he watched on, still not believing that it actually worked. Katie lifted her head over to Adam. "Where's Dean?"
"Not here" Adam replied. "We sort of did this without him" Katie tilted her head and sighed. "But it worked, that's all that matters right?"
"Not exactly" Katie replied turning and looking over to the camera that hung in the elevator. "Dick's watching so I'm pretty sure he's not happy right now"
"Oh, no" Urim said and Katie and Adam looked over to her, as well as Balthazar. "Castiel is here"
"They're doing this now?" Adam asked realizing that if Cas was here, than his brothers probably were too. Adam turned back to Katie who he could tell was trying to think of what to do next. She looked over to Adam before walking over to him. She placed another kiss on Hope's head before handing her back to her uncle. "What are you doing?"
"You're taking her" Katie said as Adam brought Hope to his chest. She looked over to Urim. "You're taking them some place safe"
"I can help" Adam urged. "Don't leave me out on this" Katie turned back to him and brought a hand to the back of his head bringing her forehead to his.
"You are in this" Katie replied. "You protect my little girl and you remember everything I taught you" she placed a kiss on his forehead before stepping back. She smiled once more at her daughter, who eyes were right on her mother. "Don't worry, I'll come back to you" Katie looked over to Urim and gave her a nod before the angel walked over and placed a hand on Adam's shoulder and they bother were gone.
"So I'm guessing I'm with you on this one?" Balthazar asked and Katie looked over to him.
"You're guessing right" Katie said walking over to the angel who holds out a hand. "Let's finally end this" Katie takes his hand and before she knows it, they're standing in a lab to find Dick's back to them.
"I've been expecting you" Dick said turning around looking between Katie and the angel. "I got word that you were back and I have to say I'm not as disappointed as I thought I would be"
"Thats interesting seeing as your plan to have me lock the door to purgatory just went out the window" Katie said crossing her arms over her chest. "And now you are going to die" she know she should take so much pleasure in this, but she can't help the smile that comes to her face. "And I will no longer have to look at your annoying face anymore" the leviathan chuckled and Katie tilted her head. "What's so funny?"
"You" Dick replied. "Thinking today will end with a happily ever after for you" he took a step toward her. "If today is my last day on earth, you better believe I'm going out with a life crushing bang" and suddenly his hands were wrapped around her throat. Balthazar took a step but was knocked in the head from behind, knocking him to his feet. "You see I've spent this entire time trying to think of ways to attract you to me, but you're just so stubborn" the grip around her neck tightened. "I mean I'm a nice looking guy, I have goals for the future, much more than that husband of yours, and still you choose him over me?" Katie hears commotion from behind her and assumes Balthazar's in the middle of a fight with a leviathan himself.
"Princess?" Dean's voice seemed like sweet song even in the middle of her wind pipe being crushed.
"Speaking of the devil" Dick says looking over to Dean, his hand never releasing Katie's throat. "Hey, Dean, I guess you're here to kill me huh, well you'd have to get in line behind the wifey here"
"Let her go you son of a bitch" Dean growled. Katie wished she could see him, but she was forced to look Dick right in the face.
"Oh, I will once she's stopped breathing" Dick replied turning back to Katie. "You see I don't take rejection well as you've probably guessed" Katie snapped her eyes closed.
Lux, where the hell are you?"
I'm here, but there's nothing I can do.
What do you mean there's nothing you can do?
Without your powers you are nothing but human, I'm not meant to be in a human body.
What are you saying?
I'm saying I'm here, but use me at your own risk.
Katie's eyes snap open to see Dick staring back to her, slight disappointment in his eyes.
"Aw, you got my hopes up" Dick says and with a fast swoop of his arm sends Katie flying hard into the metal walls of the lab. She hits her head hard with a thump and can feel the blood instantly dripping down her head. She blinks a bit, her eyes starting to blur as she witness the fight between Dick, Dean and Cas.
"I think that's our cue to leave witchee pants" Balthazar says before reaching down and lifting Katie to her feet. He brings her arm around his neck and wraps his arm around his waist.
"No" Katie murmurs and the angel looks down to her. "Dean" He turns them just in time to see Dean jam the bone into Dick's chest, and to her surprise nothing happens. The leviathan laughs as he pulls out the bone and snaps it in half.
"Did you really think you could trump me?" Dick ask looking over to Dean. Katie watches as Dick lifts a hand toward Dean and knows what's coming.
Use me at your own risk
She has to save Dean, it's her purpose, it's always been her purpose. Katie lifts a hand fully intending to use whatever is inside of her to finally end Richard Roman. Before she has time to even register what is happening, Dean takes another bone from his jacket as Castiel pulls Dick head back. But she realized how close they are. What they're about to do is open a door that could—. Dean plunges the bone in Dick's neck and the leviathan's scream seem to echo in the metal lab.
"Dean" Katie says trying to get to him, but her brain and body seem to be on different wave lengths because her feet don't move. They all watch as the leviathan's face contorts showing off his massive teeth, and black seems to ooze out of his nose, mouth and even eyes. Katie blinks a bit seeing some kind of energy coming from Dick's body.
"What the hell is that?" she hears Balthazar ask and knows he sees it too.
"Dean" Katie says again but hates that her voice is barely audible. Dean's eyes suddenly turns to hers and she prays that he can see in her eyes what she can't say from her lips. And she knows he has when he takes a step back, but before he can get away Dick explodes, black ooze seeming to go everywhere. Balthazar throws his body over Katie and after a moment of silence they all seem to straighten up to see the entire lab covered in a black ooze. Katie's eyes go to the spot where Dean was standing that is now empty and everything inside of her starts spinning. She closes her eyes, gravity seeming to want to pull her down to the ground. Balthazar's grip tightens around her trying to keep her from hitting the ground.
I know how this ends" Katie tilted her head a bit. "I know who is victorious when all of this is over" he walked closer to her.
"How—" Katie's eyes went wide. "Wait, did he—" the Metatron placed his hands on her shoulders.
"I do not have time, because this will be the last time you will see me" the angel said. "This battle does not end you, remember that?"
"This battle does not end you" Katie's mind seems to repeat as she feels whatever life inside of her fleeting. She can't help but feel that it was all a lie. That this is it. Dean's gone and she has no idea where he is.
"Where's Dean?" Katie hears a voice say and at this point doesn't know or care who said it.
"Hey—" Balthazar lifts Katie up. "Stay with me" she lifts her eyes to meet his for a brief second. And he can actually see the moment she finally gives up. "No" her eyes drift closed and her body falls limp in his arms. "This cannot be happening" Balthazar brings his fingers to Katie's neck and nothing, no pulse. "C'mon Katie, this isn't how it ends!"
