"Iron walls drenched in salt. Demons can't even touch the joint" Dean explained as Ruby and he took Anna to Bobby's bunker. Ruby waited outside. "Which I find racist, by the way. Here. Hex bags - extra-crunchy. They'll hide us from angels, demons, all comers. But I can't stop your bodyguard from telling her owner where we are" Ruby explained referring to Kaylee who was currently with Sam. Dean couldn't help but agree, she had orders to protect Dean, so she wasn't going anywhere but he couldn't trust her not to tell Castiel where they are.
"Thanks, Ruby. Don't lose this. So, Anna, what's playing on angel radio? Anything useful?" Dean asked Anna hopefully. "It's quiet. Dead silence" Anna explained, and Dean sighed, "Good. That's not troubling at all. "We're in trouble, huh? You guys are scared?" Anna asked curiously which Dean denied before Sam called out for him from upstairs indicating that he and Kaylee were back. Dean excused himself to find Sam walking through the front door. No Kaylee. "How's the car?" Dean asked immediately.
"I got her. She's fine. Where's Bobby?" Sam asked curiously as they walked through Bobby's kitchen. "The Dominican. He said we break anything, we buy it" Dean joked as Sam asked if he was working a job. "God, I hope so. Otherwise, he's at hedonism in a banana hammock and a trucker cap" Dean joked making Sam wince at the thought, "Now that's seared in my brain" Sam complained before explaining that Kaylee had disappeared shortly after they had left the old warehouse in the forest. "Great, now we have her to worry about as well. What did you find on Anna?" Dean asked wanting to move on from the topic of Kaylee. "Uh, not much. Her parents were Rich and Amy Milton – a church deacon and a housewife. But there is something here in the report. Turns out this latest psych episode wasn't her first. When she was 2 1/2, she'd get hysterical any time her dad got close. She was convinced that he wasn't her real daddy" Sam explained as he opened the report on the table. "Who was? the plumber, hmm? A little snaking the pipes?" Dean mocked amused while Sam commented that he was confusing reality with porn again. "Look, Anna didn't say. She just kept repeating that this real father of hers was mad. Very mad - like wanted-to-kill-her mad. She saw a kid's shrink, got better, and grew up normal" Sam continued.
"Until now. so, what's she hiding?" Dean asked before they realized that Anna was in the room and she was angry. "Nice job watching her" Dean commented to Ruby, who sarcastically explained that she was watching her. "No, you're right, Anna. Is there anything you want to tell us? The angels said you were guilty of something. Why would they say that?" Sam asked firmly, wanting the truth. "You tell me. Tell me why my life has been levelled... why my parents are dead. I swear. I would give anything to know" Anna said honestly, and Sam suddenly had an idea. He left to go get Pamala, the physic that helped Dean, Bobby and he when Dean returned from hell. The woman who Castiel burned out her eyes.
….
Kaylee disappeared from Sam as soon as they left Dean, Anna and Ruby. She went back to the safehouse to relax for bit. She wanted nothing to do with this. She was supposed to be watching Dean, but they didn't want her around because she was loyal to Castiel and Castiel was after Anna. Castiel would want her to tell him where Anna was but she found herself not wanting to break the trust of Dean and Sam. She would if Castiel asked her to, but she wouldn't enjoy it. "Humans and their stupid emotions. Angels and their stupid protocols. I can't wait to be by myself again" Kaylee muttered to herself before she realized that Castiel was in the room now.
"What do you mean 'you can't wait to be by yourself again?'" Castiel asked curiously walking over and sitting next to Kaylee on the lounge. "After we defeat Lilith and the angels return to heaven, I am going to go spend some time in the forest. Find a nice cabin or something. Really rediscover myself again" Kaylee explained simply making Castiel stare deep into her eyes for several moments. It wasn't unnormal for Castiel to stare at Kaylee while in thought, but this time seemed… different. Castiel snapped out of his thoughts before looking forward, "We can't find Anna or the Winchesters, but I know you know where they are" Castiel started to say and Kaylee tensed up. Castiel hesitated for moment, as if considering his next words carefully. "Do your job and protect Dean" Castiel said firmly and disappeared. Kaylee frowned in confusion about what just happened before disappearing and reappearing at Bobby's house just as Anna told the brothers, Ruby and a psychic what she was.
"Don't be afraid, I'm not like the others" Anna said in the loungeroom of Bobby's house. "I don't find that very reassuring" Ruby said and Pamala the psychic quickly agreed. "so...Castiel, Uriel - they're the ones that came for me?" Anna asked curiously as Kaylee appeared in the room without being noticed. "You know them?" Sam asked curiously and "We were kind of in the same foxhole" Anna explained.
"So, what, they're like your bosses or something?" Dean asked and Kaylee chuckled walking into the room, surprising everyone. "Try the other way around" She said gaining everyone's attention. Anna looked around scared that Castiel and Uriel were about to show up but Kaylee shook her head, "Relax Red, Castiel and Uriel aren't coming" She added confusing everyone in the room. "Why not? I thought you would have told your boss where she was by now" Ruby asked voicing everyone's thoughts. Kaylee glared at her making her shut her mouth immediately before she casually walked over and looked out the window. "My orders are to protect Dean. Unless you prove to be a danger to him… I won't touch you or tell the angels where you are." Kaylee explained confusing everyone even more. "Wait a sec, you work for Castiel? The angel who took my eyes!" Pamala snapped and Kaylee looked over at her emotionlessly, "He regrets that that happened, but he warned you not to look".
"I'm sure I have a death sentence on my head. I disobeyed... which, for us, is about the worst thing you can do. I fell" Anna explained pacing back and forth continuing the conversation from before. "She fell to earth, became human" Pamala explained after sensing Dean and Sam's confusion. "Wait a minute. I don't understand. So, angels can just become human?" Sam asked trying to wrap his head around this information. "It kind of hurts. Try cutting your kidney out with a butter knife. That kind of hurt. I ripped out my grace" Anna explained, and Dean was confused again. "Her grace. It's...energy" Kaylee explained for Dean and the others making them wonder just how much she knew about Angels.
"I hacked it out and fell. My mother, Amy, couldn't get pregnant. Always called me her little miracle. She had no idea how right she was" Anna joked sadly making Kaylee look over at Ruby, who was frozen still in shock about being around an angel and Kaylee. "So, you just forgot that you were god's little power ranger?" Dean asked, and Anna confirmed it was true. "I don't think you all appreciate how completely screwed we are" Ruby snapped angrily breaking her trance she was in moments ago.
"Ruby's right. Heaven wants her dead and Hell just wants her. A flesh-and-blood angel that you can question, torture, that bleeds. Red, you're the Stanley cup and sooner or later, heaven or hell, they're gonna find you" Kaylee explained amused by this whole situation making everyone glare at her. She shrugged and walked into the kitchen to grab a drink. "I know and that's why I'm gonna get it back. My grace" Anna explained shocking everyone and making Kaylee raise an eyebrow. "You can do that?" Dean asked, and Anna explained if she could find it. "So, what, you're just gonna take some divine bong hit, and, shazam, you're Roma Downey?" Dean asked making Kaylee roll her eyes.
"So, where's this grace of yours?" Sam asked as Kaylee listened closely from the kitchen, did this change her orders from Castiel? "Lost track. I was falling about 10,000 miles per hour at the time" Anna explained simply, and Kaylee realized that the angels could probably track her grace. "Wait. you mean falling, like, literally? Like the way a human eye can see? like a comet maybe or a meteor?" Sam asked curiously, and everyone looked over at him confused. "Here. in March '85, a meteorite vanished in the night sky over Northwestern Ohio. It was sighted nine months before Anna was born, and she was born in that part of Ohio. Look, I think it was Anna. And here, same time another meteor over Kentucky" Sam explained, and Ruby concluded it was her grace. "Alright, that just narrows it down to an entire state" Ruby added sarcastically before walking out of the room. Sam looked around at the others before looking over at Kaylee. She looked at him and gave him a lazy smirk. Sam rolled his eyes and followed Ruby into the other room.
"Sam... I'm sorry for bringing you this mess. if I had known, I would have kept my trap shut. You do not want to get between these two armies. it's Godzilla and Mothra. If one side doesn't get us, the other one will" Ruby explained scared and Sam looked over at her, "So, what do you want to do? dump Anna and run? Forget it. Look, I know the angels freak you out" Sam started to say but was interrupted. "Forget the angels. it's Alastair I'm scared of. You met him in the church. Practically the grand inquisitor downstairs. Picasso with a razor. He is the demon that turned Kaylee into what she is, and you should pull him out and throw him back in the pit... if you weren't so out of shape."
"Ruby..." Sam went to argue but Ruby quickly cut him off and told him that his abilities were getting flabby. "yeah, so how do I tone up?" Sam snapped, and Ruby gave him a look that clearly said he knows how. "No, I'm not doing that anymore" Sam said firmly.
"Well, then you better pray that Anna gets her groove back, or we're all dead" Ruby snapped in a heated whisper to Sam before turning around to see Kaylee close behind her. She froze. "Now what are we talking about over here?" Kaylee drawled out slyly. Sam quickly avoided her eyes while Ruby opened her mouth to say something but then quickly closed it. She chuckled to herself in amusement before going to lean against the wall with her arms crossed and her eyes closed.
