AN: Here's to getting our work out on time! We hope you enjoy this chapter where a phone call with a 'business partner' gives Lilly more information than she bargained for. ;)

Bobby looks down at his coffee cup and rolls his eyes. He'd been here waiting for over an hour, and though he'd spoken to Castiel, it seemed the angel didn't know much more than he did. After the story Sam had given him last night he supposed he should let them all sleep as much as they could, but he wasn't sure that's what they were up to. It was the only thing that kept him from going upstairs and dragging their sorry asses down here to tell him what the fuck had happened.
Sam walks down the stairs looking scarred a few minutes later, followed by a blushing, grumbling Mae. They pause when they see Bobby at the table.
"Hey Bobby." Mae greets with a smile as she walks over to hug him.
"Hey jit." Bobby greets as he hugs her back. "Sam." He adds when he pulls away from Mae.
"Hey Bobby. Sorry if you've been waiting. We woke up late."
Bobby sighs. "I've had Cass keepin' me company." He shrugs as looks over to the angel who was playing with Lilly's phone by the charger.
"Cass." Mae smiles and skips over to greet him as well, glad that he was still in one piece after tangling with Raphael again.
Castiel looks up and gives Mae a small smile. "Good morning Mae. How are you feeling?"
"Better. Still kinda tired." Mae shrugs.
Castiel nods. "Who is Devon?" He asks curiously.
Mae purses her lips to the side and gives Castiel a doe in the headlights look. "Uh…"
Bobby lets out a bark of laughter at the name. "Well, that fills in that blank." He shakes his head as he gets up and walks over to Castiel. "Can I see the phone Cass?" He asks as he hold out his hand.
Mae tilts her head to the side. "What blank?"
Bobby looks at Mae with a raised brow. "Who found ya last night." He tells her, as Castiel hands him the phone.
"Oh. Devon found me?" Mae frowns, wondering if it had been Devon at the door last night.
Bobby opens the phone and starts scrolling through Lilly's messages. "Seems like." He nods after confirming his suspicions before the phone vibrates as it receives yet another message. He texts the boy back, so he'd calm the fuck down; he'd sent Lilly over fifty texts.
"Lilly's drug dealer found you?" Sam asks as he walks over to look over Bobby's shoulder.
Mae shrugs. "I guess?"
"Killian." Sam frowns when he sees the other man's name in a text. "You were with Killian last night."
"Oh noo." Mae's face falls and she backs up, trying to give herself space to explain. "I swear, we- We told them we couldn't do the cupcakes, that Lilly and I didn't want to do them anymore and we didn't leave- We saw Thoth and Maat but we weren't going to leave the house and I don't know what happened but we- Was it Devon at the door?"
Sam sighs as he walks over to Mae and pulls her close. "It's okay." He whispers into her hair. "I'm not mad at you." He assures her before he looks over to Castiel and Bobby. "She doesn't remember anything from last night." He tells them with a frown as he holds Mae to him tightly.
Bobby's eyes narrow at that. He didn't like the sound of that at all. "Nothin'?" He asks with a frown.
Mae frowns as she shakes her head.
"Would you like me to look?" Castiel offers, as he steps past Bobby and walks over to Sam and Mae.
Mae nods. "Please?"
Castiel nods as his hand comes up to her temple and he closes his eyes in concentration. A bright spark cracks as it arcs between him and Mae, and he quickly withdraws his hand and looks down at his burnt fingers in confusion.
Mae jumps at a small static shock discharge. "What was that?" She asks as she reaches up to rub at the slight sting.
"I- Do not know." Castiel frowns as he looks at Mae curiously, before he turns to look at Sam and Bobby. "I cannot access her memories." He frowns.
"Great." Sam frowns. "What the fuck does that mean."
Castiel frowns. "I do not know." He admits with a frown as he heals his fingers. "Are you okay Mae?" He asks her.
Mae nods. "It was like running across the carpet in socks and then touching the door knob."
Bobby frowns at that. "Who the fuck is Killian?" He asks.
Mae grimaces. "He's a DJ that runs pop up nightclubs."
Bobby turns to Castiel. "Can ya go get Dean and Lilly please."
"They are busy." Mae quickly warns them.
"I don't give a rats ass." Bobby grunts. "We have questions needin' answers. Someone messed with yer damn head."
Mae frowns and lowers her head, looking at her toes against the ceramic tile as if they were suddenly fascinating.
Castiel nods and disappears from the room with a flap. A moment later a shriek is heard, and Castiel appears back in the same spot, as if he'd never left. "They are coming down." He informs Bobby.
Mae turns and wraps her arms around Sam to hide her face.
"It's okay baby. There's just a lot of questions right now. And we need to know what's going on." Sam assures her as he hugs her tightly.
"You never said how the archangel hunt went." Mae pulls back to look up at him.
"We trapped Raphael and left him in a ring of fire." Sam informs her with a shrug. "So, not awful... But he doesn't know where God is either…" He admits.
"No, he told me our father is dead." Castiel frowns. "But that just can not be true. Someone brought me back as well as put this family on a plane. My father isn't dead. He's just… Missing"
Bobby curses. "Of fuckin' course he is." He shakes his head. That would have been too fucking simple.
Mae shakes her head and reaches out to place her hand on Castiel's forearm. "I'm sorry he didn't know where God is Cass."
"I have faith that I will find him." Castiel responds, with an awkward shrug.
Mae smiles and squeezes his arm once before she drops her hand away.
Bobby shakes his head as he turns his attention back to Lilly's messages, in hopes of finding new information.
Dean comes barreling down the stairs. "Mornin', sorry bout that, what'd I miss?" He asks sheepishly.
"Mae can't remember anything from last night, Devon is blowing up Lilly's phone, Killian was mentioned and Cass got hurt trying to see Mae's memories." Sam quickly bullet points.
"Heard. I missed a lot." Dean nods as he moves strategically behind Castiel as a red faced Lilly comes down a moment later, her golden eyes shooting daggers at Dean.
"Sorry. I didn't know this was a thing." Lilly hisses as she continues to glare at Dean, before she turns and looks over to her other assembled family members.
"So uh, do you remember what happened last night?" Mae asks with a slight grimace on her lips.
Lilly tilts her head at the question, as she thinks about the question. What night was last night to her?
"With Killian?" Sam prompts.
"Oh." Lilly nods. "Yeah, I mean up to a point anyways. I don't know what happened after I got taken though."
"When did we leave the house?" Mae asks. "Who was at the door?"
Lilly frowns at Mae. "Killian. You don't remember?" She asks with a frown.
Mae shakes her head "Killian knows where we live?"
Lilly shrugs. "Well, probably not at first…" She narrows her eyes, "Devon knows though."
"Speaking of Devon." Bobby holds Lilly's phone up in front of him. "He's been texting you all night apparently."
Lilly looks to Bobby her eyes glancing at her phone. "Why?" She asks as she goes to take the phone.
"He was afraid you'd be mad at him for dropping Mae off at the hospital." Bobby explains.
Lilly's eyes widen in surprise. "Why the fuck was Mae at the hospital?" She demands as she turns to look at Mae.
Mae shrugs. "I don't remember." She quickly holds her hands up defensively.
"Accordin' to Devon, Killian sent him to have her crash, and demanded he not look for you or bring her back home." Bobby grunts as he scrolls through the phone. "But when she was unresponsive he got worried and called Jody, who by the way, also called and texted you several times, before she called me."
Lilly frowns. "Can I see my phone?" She asks as she holds out her hand.
"Please remember he's a sweetheart." Mae urges Lilly.
"He's a drug dealer." Sam scoffs.
"And everyone in this room, besides Mae, has killed someone. So drop the judgement." Lilly scoffs as Bobby hands her the phone. She dials Devon, and isn't surprised when he picks up on the first ring. "What the fuck happened last night man." She hisses into the phone as she turns and walks out of the room.
"Are you seriously just letting her walk outta here with that phone call Dean?" Sam asks in annoyance.
"Sammy, one day you'll understand how scary short women can be." Dean glares. Besides, he knew how to pick his battles, and this particular battle was not worth fighting.
"I did find her waterboarding him earlier." Castiel frowns.
Bobby face palms. "What the fuck?" He groans.
Dean rolls his eyes. "I was trying to get her to soak in the tub because she was covered in bruises and uh… She didn't like a nickname and the next thing I know I'm laughing and she's seething and then I was half drowned."
"She's like a buck Dean." Bobby gruffs in disapproval.
"I couldn't stop laughing." Dean shrugs. "She had total unfair advantage. So angry, so tiny, so adorable. It's not fair."
Mae laughs. She'd thought the same thing about Lilly several times. She just wasn't brave enough to let Lilly know that.
Lilly walks back into the room as she clicks her phone shut. "She danced. That's all. He swears his life on it." She informs as she comes back into the room. "
"But why? And where were you? And why did we leave?" Mae asks in rapid fire frustration.
"Twenty fourteen. And we left cause you were following Killian around like a damn puppy, and he picked me up and dragged me out because I threatened to kill him." Lilly grumbles in annoyance.
"I left the house?" Mae frowns.
"Yes, we both did." Lilly shrugs. "If you would like to see the video of it, Devon gave me the website, you're pretty damn popular Chem. There's apparently a website of your duets with Killian going 'viral' whatever the fuck that means." She sighs, as she goes through her phone and begins texting Jody a lie about 'last' night.
"Oh no! What… Sprinkles... Why?" Mae shakes her head. If she'd danced the way she had the first time she'd been at Killian's club, she was going to be in a lot of trouble with Sam.
Sam's grip tightens around Mae as he glares at Lilly. "Can you be a little bit less nonplussed about your sister's memories being altered?" He demands.
Mae stiffens at the word sister. Her heart races, beating at her ribs. She slowly brings her hands up to cover her mouth. It's just a word It's just a word It's just a word. She holds her breath, trying to stay calm.
Lilly sweeps her eyes up at Sam as she continues texting, her eyes flashing gold before she just turns back to her phone. "Watch yer damn tongue ass hole." She growls as she hits send, before she scrolls through her phone looking for Killian's contact information.
Sam opens his mouth to snap back at her, but suddenly his eyes widen and he looks down at Mae. "Sorry baby. It's okay." He says softly, instantly losing some of his anger at his own mistake.
Lilly hits dial as she rolls her eyes and brings the phone up to her ear. "Give me a minute." She sighs as she steps out of the room again. Her eyes widen slightly in surprise when he actually answers.
"Cupcake! Sup with you. I thought you'd be dead or somethin'."
"Killian." Lilly greets coldly.
"You sound... Not chill."
"What happened to my sister's memories." Lilly hisses.
"What do you mean? Is she okay? I made sure she-"
"I mean the fact that she doesn't remember anything Killian, don't play fuckin' stupid. I know you saw what happened, you asshole. What happened to my fuckin' sister."
"Damn, so fucking touched by an angel cunty."
"Yeah, yeah, I fuckin' am. I don't have time for this shit. What happened to Mae." Lilly growls. Of course he knew about angels. Of fucking course. Gods fuckin' forbid she just go one day without making a gods damn mistake. She shouldn't have invited Mae to that damn club. She didn't have time for whatever this shit was.
"Look Cupcake, your sister is obviously fine-"
"Do you ever want me to bake for you again?" Lilly hisses out.
"Is that even still on the table, I mean apparently you're fucking friends with angels."
Lilly closes her eyes as she groans. "How the fuck do you even know he was a damn angel? Wait- I don't even wanna know. Just tell me what you did to Mae."
"Why's it gotta be something I did. Fucking angels running around pulling cupcakes outta cars. But oh yeah sure, fucking automatically blame me."
Lilly curses "Dude! I don't have fuckin' time to play these games right now. This is fuckin' so above your pay grade it ain't funny. Tell me what you did to my fuckin' sister." She spits into the receiver.
The line is quiet for several seconds. "Look. I knew what she was right away, but you. What the hell are you? What do the angels want with you? Cause it sure isn't for your damned cupcakes."
Lilly take a deep breath as she processes that. He knew Mae was fae? How? Even Thoth, a god of knowledge, and Castiel an angel of the fuckin' lord had been stumped by her presence. What the fuck was she dealing with? They didn't have time to fuck around with this prick. "Damn it Killian, just tell me what you did ta my damn sister. I really don't have time for these fuckin' games. It's like you said, and I just escaped from angel games and I'm ready to rip through a couple more bitches. Do you really wanna be added to that list?"
"Such an adorable, bitchy little cupcake. You really expect me to believe you 'escaped' the angels?"
"Would I be fuckin' talkin' to you if I hadn't?"
"Unless they let you think you escaped…"
"Angel's don't work on me like that you ignorant fuck." Lilly seethes. One more lie. She needed answers.
"Well, I would know that if I knew what the fuck you were."
"A hot fuckin' mess with psychopathic tendancies and a fuckin' grudge streak that makes Liam Neeson look like a bitch." Lilly growls into the phone, "What did you do to my sister?"
"But you already have the baby fae back. Problem solved."
"No. Not problem solved. Do you know how many people are gonna be out for your blood if I don't get these answers."
"No? Why don't you tell me…"
Lilly narrows her eyes and chews her lip. "Winchesters. Angels. Gods."
The line is silent for several long seconds, "What… The… Fuck... Cupcake."
"I told you we had boyfriends ya fuckin' ignorant ass hole."
"What on that fucking god awful list are you two dating?!"
"Just tell me what happened to Mae, I'd hate to see you dead when we have such a lucrative relationship."
"What are you and baby fae dating?"
"What happened to Mae? I'd really hate to see that pretty face of yours fucked up. I don't think you'd be nearly as popular."
Killian groans. "Fine! It's a memory block. Just a memory block. What the fuck is up with you two?"
"Why'd it zap our angel?" Lilly snaps.
"Because it was suppose to? Is she dating a fucking angel? Of course she's dating a fucking angel. That's some dangerous shit for someone like her."
"She's not dating an angel… Wait, how did- No, not important now- Why?" Lilly can't stop herself.
"Oh no. I am not getting into this with you until you start answering my questions too. I can be useful, but you know… I don't like being threatened."
Lilly rolls her eyes. "And I don't like my family being fucked with…" She growls. "But fine. You wanna know shit? Fine. But it's gonna put you more at risk…"
Killian starts laughing. "Oh no. That is so not how the world works. The less you know the more at risk you are."
"I don't have the best track record. A lot of my family doesn't trust my judgement, and in all actuality, you are lucrative, and I don't completely loathe you…So..."
"I'm a big boy. I can handle it. You want what I know about biddy baby Mae? What the fuck are you fucking, and what the hell are you friends with?"
"Winchesters." Lilly sighs. "Gods, a few more veteran hunters, and fallen angels in that order."
"How is a fucking baby fae dating a Winchester? How are you dating a Winchester? What the fuck are they doing not killing you two? Or your friends? It's kinda what they fucking do. What kind of fucking luck do you two have?"
"We're persuasive." Lilly rolls her eyes. "And as for luck, it's a pendulum." She sighs as she drags her hand through her hair.
"Ah, actually that makes sense. Baby fae could probably talk anyone into liking her, if she ever figures out how to use her shit."
"What the fucks that s'posed ta mean?" Lilly hisses. "Are you fuckin' fae?" She asks in disbelief. Shit. Fuck. It didn't matter what she said now, Thoth was gonna sniff him out like a damn dog.
"Well that took you awhile. Yeah. Like, ya know, distantly, distantly related to Mae."
What the fuck was distantly supposed to mean? "You're not like related to her related to her right?" She asks with apprehension her mind instantly flashing to Vincent and how well that had panned out.
"Uh fuck no. One, she's half human. Two she's a Sylph. Good kith. Usually Seelie, rarely ever unseelie, certainly never the plant ones anyways."
Lilly pauses. What the fuck was that? Seelie, unseelie? Shit. He had quickly gone back to having the upper hand here. That wasn't good. At this point any information for Mae about her heritage would only be helpful. She wasn't even sure what Mae could and couldn't do, and that wasn't good either.
"Did her mother never explain this shit to her?"
"How do you know it was her mother?" Lilly asks suspiciously.
"Old legend. Like a fairy tale for Fae."
"What legend?" Lilly demands.
"So was her mother the Sylph?"
"Why does it matter?" Lilly asks suspiciously.
"I wanna know if the legends are true."
"What legends?" Lilly asks again in annoyance.
"Dammit cupcake. I knew I should have fucking looked around while I was in there."
"Fuck. I don't need to hear that." Lilly curses. "We're so off topic. Just tell me what you did to her, so I can come up with something so Sam doesn't slaughter you please."
"Ugh, Sam? Isn't he the tall one?"
"Yeah the tall one."
"So you're the one with good taste."
"You stay the fuck away from Dean." Lilly hisses at his tone. Fucking male monster's and wanting Dean. It was always fucking Dean.
"Jesus fucking christ cupcake! Take a fucking compliment."
"Dammit Killian, just tell me what you did to Mae."
"Look, the memory thing it was just to protect me from angels okay. I thought, correctly apparently, that you two might be too fucking friendly with 'em or something. Which is weird, because us fae don't exactly have the greatest history with those winged lil' brats. It must be because she's a half. She ain't fucking with archangels is she?"
Lilly narrows her eyes. "Not if I can help it, no." She growls her mind instantly flashing to pregnant TFG Mae. Over her dead body was she- Oh wait… She lets out an exasperated sigh.
"Well then she's probably fine. Anyway, the memory loss, I can fix it later. And besides the shock, it's not going to hurt anyone."
Lilly frowns as she pinches the bridge of her nose. "So why the fuck did you send her off with Devon, and why the fuck did she end up in the damn hospital? You know why that ain't good."
"Ah, well. I wanted her to be with someone I trusted that I knew you trusted too, but I didn't tell the kid ta drop her off at the hospital. I told him to keep her at his place till he..." Killian trails off before he chuckles. "Guess we know who Devon is more afraid of… That's impressive Cupcake. You have that poor kid thinkin' you'd actually kill him."
Lilly narrows her eyes. "Psychopathic tendencies." She responds nonchalantly. "So, what'd you do to make her so fuckin' outta it, that he dropped her off there?"
"She was just exhausted from dancing. She's a very spirited baby."
Lilly frowns. "And you did nothing to her?" She asks skeptically. "Because the Winchester's will be the least of your worries if I get caught in a damn lie and Sam fuckin' kills me for protecting you." She warns, pretty confident that Thoth would murder him for making his life more difficult. "So tell me the damn truth now, otherwise it's your head on the choppin' block if you don't spit it out." She growls.
"Fuck, fine. Mae needs certain types of energy right? Like plants or the happy, good feels?"
Lilly frowns. Did she? Fuck. She was navigating completely in the dark. She had not been in the slightest prepared for this conversation to go this way. "Yeah." She finally sighs.
"So that's a no. Wow, she knows nothing." Killian snickers. "Still, she's pretty good at what she does for her age and not knowing jack shit about what she can do. So okay, look. She's really good at drawing in a bunch of energy from a bunch of sources without draining the sources. That's not how I work. I'm a one on one kinda guy and I drain-"
"Did you fuckin' feed off her?!" Lilly hisses between clenched teeth as she pulls at her hair. This wasn't good. "She'll be fine right? You didn't like, mark her or anything permanent right?" She asks unable to keep the worry from her voice.
"No, she's not marked. Neither are you, by the way, since we're being all open and honest about this shit."
Lilly sighs as she begins pacing. "You fed off me that night… You… Gods dammit Killian."
"I've 'fed' off you both twice. What the fuck are you? My shit does not work on you the way it should. You like, kinda go with it, but you have like an iron will or something."
Lilly sighs. "Fuck if I know Killian. I'm a cursed priestess, I wouldn't know why your shit doesn't work…" She trails off. Was it because Ahmes? Is that why Mae and River had been so confused when they had first met… She had so many more questions than answers.
"Weird. Anyway. I needed a boost to my abilities so I could get the fuck outta angel ridden dodge. So I did a set or two, got Chem all pumped up on energy and then siphoned it from her. She'll be fine with sleep. No one got hurt. I even told Devon to keep her with him, to keep those damned winged fucks off your back, which I still haven't gotten a thank you for by the way. You're welcome. I'm not a complete monster." Killian scoffs.
Lilly rolls her eyes. "I'm not saying thank you for you making her pass out... "
"I also didn't want her panicking and trying to go look for you, and I knew you'd get super pissy if she also got lifted. You didn't exactly look happy when your fat faced friend plucked you up."
Lilly curses. She couldn't deny the truth in that. "Fine. Thank you. Are you happy?" She at least had some answers now. She wasn't thrilled about it, but it was something. "That legend. What the fuck did it say, and why do you think she's a part of it?"
"I can't remember the whole legend, but apparently King dick bag and another king decided to experiment with their toys and they created a new breed and something with angels, that's all I got. I didn't pay that much attention in school, and it was a long long long time ago. And really, I mean it's like you're Cinderella or Three Blind Mice fairytales. As for why I think you're baby sis is a part of it... We don't mix. I can't even tell you the number of human bitches I've slept with, not a one ever preggers. It takes a special line to cross like that."
Lilly sighs as she runs her hand through her hair. "Look, we have a shit ton on our plate. And Sam already hates you over the cupcakes and the dancing…" She sighs. "Can you just lay low for a while."
"Heard, already three steps ahead of you. I really do hope we cross paths again Cupcake. Chem too, everyone loves those damned videos. You two are quite the money makers."
"If we live through the end times, I'll hit you up." Lilly sighs. What the fuck else was she going to do? If this prick was fae, he might be willing to trade cupcakes for helping Mae with her abilities. He seemed self motivated enough, and it wasn't like he had done anything completely irreparable. "I'd appreciate you keeping quiet on this then. We have enough people trying to kill us without any of this getting out."
"I don't know a damned thing. Stay safe Cupcake."
"Good. Best of luck Killian." Lilly sighs as she hangs up her phone and walks over to the closest wall and hits her head on it. How was she going to explain this mess to the fucking guys. And his odd legend was worrisome. She groans as she pulls her hands through her hair, picking her head up only to let it fall again. Well at least she didn't have to worry about the future anymore; Sam was going to fucking slaughter her. Why was it always her that found these things? She sighs as she tucks her phone into her bra and pushes off the wall. What a fucking mess.

Dean taps his fist against the surface of the table. Lilly was taking for fucking ever with this phone call. He sighs and looks around the table. Bobby was on his fifth cup of coffee and jotting notes down on a newspaper spread out in front of him. Mae was sitting in Sam's lap and the two were whispering to each other now that she was doing better. Dean shakes his head, forgetting her trigger word was a huge misstep on Sam's part. Castiel was pacing back and forth behind them occasionally making noises of approval, his eyes flicking between the door Lilly had disappeared through to Mae and back with each turn. Apparently he could hear what was happening in the other room.
Lilly walks back into the kitchen, her eyes sweeping the room with apprehension. She frowns as she glances over Sam before she makes her way to Dean out of self preservation. He wouldn't shoot her in front of Dean and Mae right? And then there was Castiel, who wasn't going to be too pleased either, and Bobby, and Dean… This sucked. She had just wanted some extra cash so they could stay at nicer hotels without touching her damn bank account. So how was she going to say this? She could always claim he hadn't answered and she'd spent the last thirty minutes leaving nasty voicemails… But she didn't want them to worry when it didn't seem like they had much to worry about.
Castiel walks up to her and pins her with a stern glare. "Should I search for him? Bring him here? We can get more answers from him."
"I think we're good." Lilly shifts in discomfort.
Castiel turns to look over his shoulder at the rest of the room before his eyes once more land on Mae. "He fed on the two of you."
"What!?" The entire room asks.
"But he didn't kill us." Lilly sighs. So the angel had heard the conversation then. Well he wasn't killing her, yet. "And if you heard then you should understand why leaving him alive would be a good thing."
"I never said I would smite him. I said get answers. If he knows so much about the apocalypse and Mae being a fae-"
"Whoa." Dean stands up with a hand held in front of him. "What? Share with the god damned class you two."
"Killian's a fae." Lilly sighs as she runs a hand through her hair. "He spazzed when he saw dickless take me, and uh- fed on Mae."
"Eww. What does that mean?" Mae's nose scrunches up in disgust.
Lilly looks to Mae and then to the others and shifts with discomfort. "Uh. I wouldn't judge Mae." She sighs as she scratches the back of her head.
"What are you-" Mae looks to Lilly with wide, horrified eyes. "What does that mean?" Her hands in Sam's shirt tighten.
"Accordin' ta him, you do it too… Just differently. His kith is like a cousin to yours or something. Shockingly he wasn't that open..." Lilly admits.
"I'm a monster that can hurt people?" Mae asks sadly, addressing no one in particular as she looks down at her lap, unable to look at anyone in the room. Did she hurt people without even knowing it? Did she feed? She felt sick.
"I mean, no more than the rest of us." Lilly sighs as she pulls her hands through her hair. The last couple of days, hours? Were suddenly catching back up to her as she plopped in her seat. She felt exhausted and the hits seemed to just be coming. She didn't see a point in lying to Mae. "Though, Killian seemed to think you had excellent control over that particular ability, for what that's worth..."
"What the fuck Lilly?" Sam snaps at Lilly, when Mae makes a noise of distress and ducks her face into his shirt. He could already feel her tears, as he cradled her closer.
"Cut it out Sam." Bobby snaps before his tone gentles. "Mae, calm down. You're not a monster. You fuck with plants and get high when people are happy."
Lilly sighs as she looks over at Castiel. Look, Cass, I'm gettin' the feelin' ya heard it all. And I'm not gonna ask you to lie again, but I'm not sure all of that should just be dumped on her right now. I'm not sure how much of it she's going to be able to take, and I'm not sure how the others are going to take it either. If they have a bad reaction it will fuckin' crush her… If you want, you can explain it to the guys and I can talk to her, or vice versa, or we can discuss the matter later in private and decide what to do then… But, I'm not sure this is good for her right now and I don't have the energy for fighting with Sam either.
Castiel closes his eyes and his head nods almost imperceptibly. "I think the point right now is that Mae is going to be okay. She just needs to take it easy for a few days. It also explains Lilly's condition the first night they left the house with this Killian. As for the memory loss, and the shock I received. It was something Killian did to protect himself from angels. He's right, we haven't exactly had the best relationship. Though if you still want to know what happened, Thoth should be able to look at her mind, seeing as he is not an angel."
Lilly folds her arms and lays her head them. "Sounds good to me." She immediately sides with the angel.
All three hunters look between Lilly and Castiel suspiciously.
"Bobby. May I speak to you for a moment?" Castiel asks suddenly.
"Yeah." Bobby grunts as he pushes away from the table and stands.
"Perhaps You should get Mae back in bed. She could use the extra sleep." Castiel points out to Sam.
Sam glares at Castiel, but in the end just sighs. "Wanna get some more sleep baby?" He asks her softly.
Mae just nods against his chest. She was already done with this day. Maybe she was being ridiculous about this, but she couldn't help being afraid of the vast unknowns about herself and her heritage. Why hadn't her mother ever told her what she was? Or that she could hurt people. It seemed stupid to let her run around not knowing how to deal with her… Powers? Magic? Whatever it is, it was reckless to not understand.
Sam stands up and shoots a suspicious look at Lilly. "I'll be back down in a couple of minutes." He states darkly before the two disappear upstairs.
Lilly lets out a deep breath once Sam is gone before she pushes herself up and stands. What a fucking mess. She scratches the back of her head before she sighs and heads over to the fridge. "Wanna beer?" She asks Dean. "Or Vodka?"
"Let's go with beer." Dean shakes his head as he stands up and joins her.
"Your choice" Lilly shrugs as she pulls out a bottle of beer for Dean before she pulls the vodka out of the freezer.
"We should probably move this conversation into another room." Castiel adds before he walks out of the kitchen.
"Heard." Lilly nods as she turns and pulls a tumbler down and uncaps the vodka before she dumps the vodka into the glass, and downs it.
"What's up with him? I thought he wanted to talk to you?" Dean gives Bobby a quizzical look.
Bobby shrugs, shakes his head and follows after the angel.
Dean watches them go with a frown before he turns and looks down at Lilly suspiciously. "What's going on?"
"Didn't you hear the angel?" Lilly asks as she hands him the beer. "Come on, let's go chill in the game room." She sighs as she picks up the bottle and heads out of the kitchen.
Dean rolls his eyes. Of course Lilly had found a way to secretly work with Castiel. He sighs, downs his beer and grabs another. As an afterthought he grabs a pail and loads it up with beers for the room, this seemed like it might take awhile.
"I don't think it's as bad as you think it is." Lilly offers. "It's just... All of it at once."
"That's usually a three drink kinda day." Dean shakes his head as he tosses some ice over the bottles. "Calm down, it ain't just for me."
"I wasn't judging." Lilly shrugs as she shakes the bottle of vodka in her own hand to prove her point. "I just don't want you worrying more than you need ta."
Dean gives her a small smile. "Let's get this over with."
Lilly smiles as she takes another pull from her tumblr and heads out of the kitchen. If that had been Mae's reaction to just that one piece of news… She groans. And she wasn't even sure she knew about their trip to the future yet. She downs the rest of the content of her glass. It was going to be a long fucking day.
