I See You
A door opens and closes. The room is dimly lit, a single-sized bed stand erected in the middle, within a large devil's trap that is drawn on the floor.
A shadow looms over the sleeping man, stopping right beside the bed.
"I can see you..." A flash of blue emits from Dean's eyes, or at the moment - Michael's.
The archangel leans down to hover near the head of the unconscious Nick.
"You hid well," he whispered into his ear. "Shrivelling up in there like the rat that you are. You can fool Castiel and the humans, but you can't fool me... Lucifer," Michael said darkly while Nick remains still on the bed, no signs of having heard him.
Michael has successfully sneaked into the bunker under the disguise of Dean. He was surprised when he first saw Nick among the bunker's many residents because, though weak and diminished, he can still sense the faint swirl of grace that is well-concealed within the vessel. Lucifer is hiding from, and behind, his human host as he recuperates within him. And just like Michael, he has managed to go under Castiel's radar - the perks of being an archangel.
"I would have ended you right here right now but..." Michael trailed off. His 'Dean' cover will be exposed if he kills Lucifer along with his vessel, and that will ruin his perfect plan to get into the bunker in the first place. "Your very presence befouls my air, but I have more important things, so you'll live… for now - you powerless, pathetic piece of crap. You-are-at-my-mercy," he made sure to articulate that last five words clearly and with emphasis.
As evident, the current Lucifer is of no threat to him at all. There is nothing that Lucifer can do or say while being intimidated and humiliated like he just was. In fact, there was no need at all to inform him of his knowledge of his existence, but the chance is too good to miss. He knew Lucifer, both in his world and this. Proud and egoistic, it will be the most condescending thing for Lucifer to be recognised in his current state, having been reduced to such a feeble existence. And this is exactly why Michael decided to enter this room tonight, even going through the trouble of avoiding detection and taking the (minimal) risk of getting caught by people in the bunker – to see Lucifer suffer under his hands (words).
"So, I guess I just want to say – I see you," he threw in a last line before leaving with a smirk on his face.
As the door swings shut, a silent tear slips out of Nick's eye and rolled down onto the sheets…...
