"Pamela get home okay?" Anna asked as Dean pulled up out the front of Bobby's where she was sitting and thinking. "Yeah. She said she was sorry. It's just after last time, she, uh... this is just a little too rich for her blood" Dean explained thinking about when she lost her eyes because of Cas.

"I don't blame her. You guys should do the same" Anna said simply still looking out at the night sky wondering what the angels were planning. "Well, we're not that smart. can I ask you something? What do they want me for? Why did they save me?" Dean asked desperate for answers.

"I'm sorry. The angels aren't talking about it and it was after I fell" Anna apologised sincerely, and Dean looked over at her confused, "That's another question. Why would you fall? Why would you want to be one of us? A bunch of miserable bastards... eating, crapping, confused, afraid" Dean asked in disbelief.

"I don't know. There's loyalty... forgiveness... love. I mean it. Every emotion, dean, even the bad ones... it's why I fell. It's why... why I'd give anything not to have to go back. Anything" Anna said sadly, and Dean thought about his feelings for Kaylee, the old Kaylee. "Feelings are overrated, if you ask me" He scoffed, and Anna told him that it was better than being an angel.

"How's that possible? You guys are powerful and perfect. You don't doubt yourselves or god or anything" Dean asked, and Anna glared at him, "Perfect... like a marble statue. Cold... No choice... Only obedience. Dean, do you know how many angels have actually seen god? Seen his face? Four angels. Four and I'm not one of them" Anna explained shocking Dean.

"That's it? Well, then how do you even know that there is a god?" Dean asked curiously, "We have to take it on faith... which we are killed if we don't have. I was stationed on earth 2,000 years. Just...watching... silent... invisible... out on the road... sick for home... waiting on orders from an unknowable father I can't begin to understand. So, don't tell me that…" She ranted before Dean chuckled. "What is so funny? What?"

"Nothing. Sorry. It's just... I can relate" Dean said simply, and they smiled at each other. Kaylee suddenly appeared in front of them making them both jump startled. Kaylee looked between the two with a knowing grin that Dean did not like. "Did you find something?" Dean asked, and Kaylee nodded before leading them inside where Ruby and Sam were leaning over a table talking.

"Union, Kentucky. Found some accounts of a local miracle. In '85, there was an empty field outside of town. Six months later, there was a full-grown oak. They say it looks a century old at least" Sam explained, and Dean wanted to know what Anna thought. "The grace. Where it hit, it could have done something like that, easy" Anna explained before Dean realized that grace wasn't destruction, it was creation.

"Okay boys and uh… angel and demon. This is my time to say goodbye" Kaylee said stepping forward shocking the group.

"Why?" Dean asked firmly, and she looked over at Anna, "Because my loyalties are to Castiel via my vow, but I want to… do what's right by you and Sam. If I am around when Anna goes after her grace I cannot do both" She said almost as if it pained her to say it. She didn't give any of them a chance to speak before disappearing.

…

Kaylee teleported back to her safe house and spent the next 24 hours there in blissful ignorance until Sam Winchester decided to leave her a voicemail.

"Kaylee, the angels are threatening to take Dean back to hell if we don't turn over the angel. I can't let that happen. I'm going to bring both angels and demons together, so they fight each other, and we can escape… I don't know if you are going to tell Castiel this or not… I hope you don't, but we could really use your help in the battle to keep Dean safe"

Kaylee stared at her phone for several moments before being summoned by Castiel. She quickly teleported to his location. Uriel was there. "Hello pet" He said amused and I went to attack but Castiel stopped me. He then flew us all to the location of the Winchesters and Anna.

"Hello, Anna. It's good to see you" Castiel said as he walked through the doors of the barn much to the surprise of Sam. "How? How did you find us?" Sam asked shocked and Castiel looked over at Dean, who was avoiding eye contact but whispered an apology to Anna.

"Dean? Why?" Sam asked shocked, Kaylee was just thankful no one had brought up the fact she was there. She hated being torn between these boys. "Because they gave him a choice. They either kill me... or kill you. I know how their minds work" Anna said before turning to Dean and kissing him. Kaylee noticed that Castiel had chosen that moment to look over at Kaylee with some sort of confusion in his eyes. "You did the best you could. I forgive you. Okay. No more tricks. No more running. I'm ready" Anna said turning to Castiel and Uriel.

"I'm sorry" Castiel said simply but Anna shook her head, "No. You're not. Not really. You don't know the feeling" Anna explained truthfully and Castiel frowned slightly, "Still, we have a history" He added, and Kaylee looked over at Sam. He had mentioned that demons were supposed to be coming.

"Don't you touch a hair on that poor girl's head" Alistair said appearing out of no where with a tortured Ruby and some weaker demons. Kaylee froze at the sight of Alistair and Castiel spared her a quick, concerned glance. "How dare you come in this room... you pussing sore?" Uriel said stepping forward as Sam and Dean quickly pulled Anna out of the way.

"Name-calling. That hurt my feelings... you sanctimonious, fanatical prick" Alistair retorted and Castiel warned them to leave now. "Sure. Just give us the girl. We'll make sure she gets punished good and proper"

"You know who we are and what we will do. I won't say it again. Leave now... or we lay you to waste" Castiel threatened again but Alistair didn't back down. Uriel went after the weaker demons while Castiel went after Alistair, but he couldn't smite him. "Sorry, kiddo. Why don't you go run to daddy?" Alistair said before tossing Castiel across the room. Kaylee growled angrily and changed into her werewolf form before tackling Alistair to the ground. She dug her claws into his shoulder furiously, but Alistair spun them around and pinned Kaylee underneath him. "Hello Daemon Lupus" He grinned before bashing her skull against the ground repeatedly until Dean knocked him off her.

"Dean, dean, dean... I am so disappointed. You had such promise" He said before taking the air out of both his and Sam's lungs. Anna quickly grabbed her grace from Uriel and told Sam, Dean, Ruby and Kaylee to shut their eyes before she exploded into a ball of angel light as she turns back into an angel. During the process, Alistair disappears. Castiel walked over to Kaylee and helps her up, healing her from her wounds before turning to Dean and Sam.

"Well, what are you guys waiting for? Go get Anna... unless, of course, you're scared" Dean taunted, and Uriel threatened that it wasn't over but Castiel pulls him back. "Oh, it looks over to me, junk less" Dean said before Castiel looked at Dean and then his gaze softened as he turned to Kaylee before disappearing with Uriel. Kaylee walked outside, ignoring the conversation about Sam's plan being to bring the angels and demons together.

…

Dean, Sam and Kaylee all sat on the side of the road, Kaylee hadn't spoken since the fight but neither Dean nor Sam had tried to speak to her either. "I know you heard him. Alastair. What he said... about how I had promise" Dean said suddenly shocking Kaylee and Dean. "Dean, I'm damn curious. But you're not talking about hell, and I'm not pushing" Sam said simply as both men took a sip of their beer. Dean looked over at Kaylee who was staring out into the trees in silence. He didn't know how she was going to react to this.

"It wasn't four months, you know. It was four months up here, but down there... I don't know. time's different. It was more like 40 years. They, uh... they sliced and carved and tore at me in ways that you... until there was nothing left. And then, suddenly... I would be whole again... like magic... just so they could start in all over. And Alastair... at the end of every day... everyone... he would come over. and he would make me an offer to take me off the rack... if I put souls on... if I started the torturing. and every day, I told him to stick it where the sun shines. For 30 years, I told him. But then I couldn't do it anymore, Sammy. I couldn't. and I got off that rack. God help me, I got right off it, and I started ripping them apart. I lost count of how many souls. The - The things that I did to them" Dean finally explained, tears sliding down both men's eyes.

"Dean... Dean, look, you held out for 30 years. That's longer than anyone would have" Sam said softly, wiping the tears from his eyes.

"How I feel... this... inside me... I wish I couldn't feel anything, Sammy. I wish I couldn't feel a damn thing" Dean cried, tears streaming down his face now. He turned to Kaylee who was frozen, unmoving. "Kaylee… I didn't know he was the demon who experimented on you… I didn't know… I would never have agreed if I had known… I loved you…" Dean whispered, and Kaylee's eyes widened slightly at this confession by Dean but ultimately she remained stone-faced.
