"Cas, what are you doing?" Meg asked as she watched Cas. He was standing perfectly still in the middle of the room, arms outstretched in front of him "Sshh! I have to concentrate" he said as he shut his eyes. Meg watched him with confusion and awe. In an instant three hex bags appeared in his hands. He opened his eyes and a small smile crept over his lips "See, I found them" he said proudly as he held his hand out to her to examine. "Ok, yes your amazing, now get rid of them" Meg demanded, with a half smile. Cas nodded as he looked at the bags and they all three burst into flames and vanished. Meg leaned up and kissed his cheek "you are a hero" she said sweetly "now let's go make sure that they are all ok" Cas nodded with a prideful smile as he took Meg's hand and led the way back to the rest of the group. When they got there, they found Jo, Sarah and Charlie all fine. "How are you all feeling?" Cas asked "A little worse for wear but no biggie" Jo said, trying to hide the fear she had felt for herself and her friends. "I was thinking, I am going to go wait in the hallway outside of the room where they are doing the ritual. I want to be close to Dean" Jo said softly. She didn't want to admit it, but the site of coughing up her own blood again made her remember dying and she ached to just be close to Dean. Meg looked at her and seemed to instantly know why she wanted too "Sounds like a good plan, let's all go wait and just camp out. They might need us anyway" she said, flashing Jo an understanding smile. Jo smiled back and took Sarah's hand "I like this plan, I can be close to Sam" Sarah said softly.

Dean grabbed Sam's arm as he started to fall a little "You ok Sammy?" he asked, his face full of worry and exhaustion. "I'm fine, I can finish" Sam said as he gently pushed Dean away and stood up. "You aint got it in you, your weak" Benny said angrily from the chair. He had been flipping from evil to normal Benny for the past few hours. He would jump from Dean to Sam and then Jody. He was especially cruel to Jody. Jody sighed a little from the corner "What do you have to say about it, you whore? You sleep with a man you just met and you think I love you? You gave it away" Benny glared at her. Jody just shook head and turned away from him, a tear fell down her cheek. She wiped it quickly away so he would not see. Dean walked up beside of her "you know that is not him. That is the demon part that he has kept dormant. You know he loves you" he said quietly. "Do you want to stay in here?" he continued. She took a breath and nodded "I am staying" she said as she held her head high. Dean smiled at her, then the smile disappeared when he saw the top of Cas's head walk by the window in the center of the door. "What is going on out there?" he asked as he walked to the door and opened it. He found all of them in the hallway, sitting on the floor up against the wall. "We decided to wait out here. We are all in this together" Jo said with a half smile. Dean smiled back at her. "How is it going in there?" Cas asked. "Sammy is not doing to well, but he is holding strong" he added when he saw Sarah's face fall. "We only have one more session and he will be cured" Dean continued. Jo stood and placed her hand on his shoulder, she leaned in and kissed his cheek. No words had to be spoke, he could see the love in her eyes and she in his. He smiled slightly at her, softly touching her hand as he turned and walked back into the room and shut the door. "This is it" Jo said as she looked at her friends in the hallway. What a ragtag group of people sitting there but she loved them all. "The gates of hell will be closed soon" Garth continued. Meg laid her head on Cas's shoulder. He instinctively wrapped his arm around her and she nuzzled into his embrace. "Are you sad at all Meg?" Jo asked, sitting down across from her. Meg shook her head "Not at all, this is my home and where I belong" Jo smiled "That's so sweet coming from a demon" she said with a giggle. Meg smiled back "And if you repeat it, I will rip your heart out" Jo laughed "that's more like it" They all laughed softly as Jo turned her head to stare at the door where the two bravest men she knew were closing the gates of hell.
