Chapter 37

As soon as Dean left with Ruth, Sam led the way up to his old house and knocked on the door. "Whatever you're selling, we're not buying," a teenage girl said as she swung open the door. "Wait. I know you. You're the guy who killed the ghosts in my closet. D*mn you got hot in 9 years."

Despite the fact he knew how much had changed Sam was shocked to see the little girl he carried away from his burning mother now a young women. Yet, in a way, it reminded him that they didn't do this job to save kids for a day. They do this job to give people lives they otherwise would have missed out on.

"Hi Sari. It's Sam, Sam Winchester. Is your mother home?" Sam received a quick nod and a wide opened door.

"Jenny?" Sam asked stepping into the kitchen.

"Sam. Sam Winchester. It's so great to see you again! Where's Dean? Is there something wrong?" Jenny greeted turning off the sink faucet and drying her hands.

"Um Dean… Dean will be coming soon. This is my friend, Cas," Sam replied trying to avoid the fact that when Dean's body showed up it wasn't going to be his brother standing in front of them.

"Nice to meet you Cas," Jenny said with a wide smile that quickly disappeared. "This isn't a social call is it? I haven't seen you in 9 years and you show up tonight of any day."

"What's so special about today?" Cas pressed.

"It's nothing," Jenny assured but Sari cut her off.

"It's my friend Morgan. She was found trapped in a pentagram or something. The building was full of dead bodies. Then, she disappeared right from police custody."

"Sari, do you have a picture of Morgan?" Sam asked treating her a bit too much like the child he first met.

"Well dawh," Sari pulled out her I-Phone and unlocked it as she handed it over. "That's me and Morgan there."

Sam's worst fears were confirmed when he saw the girl in the picture, "Charlie," he whispered for Cas's benefit.

Sari didn't hear his words. However, Jenny remembered Sam, and remembered his world. "Sari. Why don't you take Rickie to that movie he wanted to see? I'm sure he'd really appreciate you driving him."

Sari rolled her eyes ready to complain about being a taxi when she remembered the dangers they'd faced last time Sam was around. Shivering at the memory she nodded and called her brother to come down to the car.

Once Jenny knew her kids were safely out of the way she pulled out a bottle of whisky, "So. What's really going on? And who is Morgan really?"

Sam bit his lip not sure what to tell her. However Dean!Michael had yet to show up so they had time.

"Jenny. It's hard to explain. Charlie, Morgan as you know her, is our little sister. Well Dean and mines at least. When did you last see Morgan?"

"Well last weekend. You mean to tell me that that girl practically lived at our house and now not only is she in a cult but she's your sister?"

"The girl you saw last weekend… that's not their sister," Cas told her firmly. "It's Lucifer."

"Lu…Lucifer," Jenny choked on her alcohol. "I knew you guys were mad but… Lucifer?"

"It's a very long story but in short Charlie, our sister, was possessed by Lucifer. The only way to stop Lucifer is for Dean to…. Make a deal with the archangel Michael. We need you and the kids to get far away from here so… well so we can summon Lucifer here and hopefully kill him." Sam told her none too gently.

"Lucifer must have known we'd needed to summon him here so he must have been scouting the area out," Cas finished.

"Angels? I mean ghosts were preposterous enough but angels. I just can't believe that."

"The Winchesters didn't want to believe either, but trust me angels are real," Cas confirmed almost smiling at the inside joke.

"I always knew something was up with Morgan… but I never suspected to find out by daughters best friend was the devil," Jenny was trying but her joke fell short and plummeted to the bottom of the Grand Canyon.

"Jenny. You should leave. Get as far away from here as possible. If things go south… the entire city might very well be destroyed," Sam urged the girl to get going before either Michael or Lucifer showed. To be honest he wasn't sure which would be worse.

"Right right. Of course." Jenny grabbed her keys and made her way to the door. "Sam. Be careful. And I hope your family turns out alright. Morgan and Dean."

"Thanks Jenny. Now go be with your kids. I'm really glad you got this life… it makes the crap that comes with the job worth it to see you three happy," Sam whispered as the women left her house.

"I wonder if she ever regrets buying this house. You've sure caused her plenty of trouble," Cas noted.

"I'm glad it was her though," Sam remarked. "Not many people would twice trust their house to strangers so they can fight monsters."

Castiel set himself to the task of setting up Sam's old room for Michael to do his thing while Sam wandered the house himself. It was funny how different a meaning this place held for him now. This was the place Azazel infected him with demon blood. This was the place his mother died to protect him. This was the place he sat and ate dinner with his parents for the first time. And this was the place that the Winchesters lived. Last time he was here, in present day at least, all Sam wanted was revenge. Now, all he wanted was the days when revenge was an option because life was that simple.

Sam returned to Cas in his old nursery and stood looking out the window when the street lights went out.

"Michael?" Sam asked.

Castiel nodded grimly. "Yes. Our brothers are here."
