And we even have a Balthazar. Yep, here we are. The darkest turn of the story, even darker than the recap of Lynn's trip to hell. Read at your own risk. 6.22 finale spoilers, with your usual slight AU.


August 23, 2010

After tapping on the door, Jack had his arm around me for support. "Ain't I in switched places with my brother, now." he laughed weakly.

He was right. After the angels brought Nick back to life after the showdown in Detroit, I brought him back. Weak, but alive.

The door opened now. "Jack-?" Nick gasped.

"Bro," Jack grinned. He let go to hug him, so I slipped inside. Adena was lay on her blanket, like usual. Upon seeing me, she began her infamous sapphire eyed-stare.

"Hi baby," I knelt down to pick her up. "Getting so big..." now she smiled. I remembered seeing her in the future. For being evil, she was really pretty, just like Phoenix.

Who had been prettier-? Nah, they were both equally beautiful. Jack and Nick came in then. "Look Addy," I said. "Uncle Jack's here."

She cooed, as if she really did recognize her uncle. "Hi Adena," Jack said, then flopped on the couch, "Oh, damn." he sighed. Before long, he fell and was sprawled on the couch, ready for sleep.

"I'll take Addy for a while, so you can settle back in." I offered, lounging for her diaper bag.

"Okay, thank you." Nick said.

"Yep," Addy and I were gone. Now at grandma's, I spotted Natalie and Juliet in the living room, movie playing. Jackson was at my side instantly.

"Is Jack okay?" he asked.

"Yeah, yeah," I said. "Are you guys watching Harry Potter?"

"You know it," Natalie confirmed.

I rolled my eyes, sitting on the couch, making Adena sit up in my lap. "Is the only guy I like in there?"

"What guy?" Natalie asked, eyes glued to the TV.

"Is it Ron?" Juliet guessed. "I like him. He's funny. So are his brothers."

"Not the ginger," I said. "The boy with the attitude. He has the same hair color as mom." I explained.

"Oh!" Natalie remembered. "Draco," she said. "He's such a snot."

"Is not," I argued. "He's awesome."

That was when suddenly, my head started to hurt like mad. I heard voices, Enochian voices.

I was...being summoned-?

Handing my sister to Jackson, I said, "Be back in a sec." then I was gone.


There was snow on the ground.

Where was I? I saw a bench, in between some trees. I had to be up in some mountains or something. Where else would it snow in August?

"Hello, Lynn."

"Cas?" I recognized the angel standing six feet away. "What's going on?"

"I want to talk to you," Cas said. "You are the only one who will listen."

"...Okay, go ahead. I'm gonna sit down, though." I said, seating myself on the bench.

Cas came over and sat next to me. "You know that I am your friend, right?" he asked.

I tilted my head. "Yeah, of course." I said.

"Do you believe in me?" he asked next.

What the hell was going on? Was it Serious Moments week, or what? "I do. You'll beat Raphael." I assured. "And we'll find Crowley, and kick the crap out of him."

That was when he looked uncomfortable. "I want you to join me."

My emerald eyes were wide. "What-?"

"Lynn, stand by me." Cas said. "Together, we can end the war. You're all I have left."

"End the-? How?" I asked.

"By opening Purgatory," he said. "All of those souls," he continued. "We can end the war with Raphael."

"Purgatory?" I repeated.

"Yes," Cas confirmed. "Crowley and I have found the way to open it."

I gasped, and stood up, backing away. "You're really working with him-?" I got caught in my throat.

He frowned, "Please understand," he begged. "It was the only choice I had. Raphael was too powerful."

My eyes were twitching now. "Why didn't you tell anyone-? Why didn't you tell me-?" I demanded.

"Because I knew you would react like this." Cas explained. "Lynn...please. I'm still Cas. After everything I have done for you, the one time I ask you to help me..." his gaze deepened.

"Are you with me?"

My Eve hair blew slightly from the wind. All I did was stare at Cas. Nothing else could be done, I couldn't speak. Join Cas-? Forget that I even made a plan with Jasper, Jamie, Lyra, and Abby-?

"My name... is Castiel, and I need you to come with me, Lynn."

"This is Lynn Logan. She's...the daughter of Lucifer."

"You're much more powerful than regular angels, even me. Heaven's most terrifying weapon."

"Bobby's right. Tomorrow we hunt the Devil. This is our last night on Earth."

"I don't like this. It's my job to protect you."

My lips curved into a smile. "I'm with you." I declared.

Cas looked as relieved as Edward did when Bella told him yes in Eclipse. "Thank you, Lynn." he said. "Thank you."

"You're welcome." I said, now tense.

"Come with me, now." Cas said. "And you can free your alternate vessel."

"Alternate-? Alice?" I realized.

"Yes." he confirmed.

I stepped forward and gripped his arm, "Take me to her," I ordered. "Please." I said, not knowing at all that I was breaking my promise to Dean.

"Of course," Cas said, touching my forehead with two fingers.


Bootback, Kansas

Now in a...hospital slash warehouse slash something slash I don't know slash kind of large room, Cas sat a little on a table, looking nervous, but also sad.

"Here we are, one Purgatory power shake...what the hell?"

I immediately glared upon seeing the demon in the dark coat. "You mother—" I snarled. "Where's Alice?" I stepped towards him, but Cas grabbed my arm.

"No, Lynn. Stop." he ordered.

His hand firmly gripped on me, I stepped back and growled. "Why did you friggin' bring her here?" Crowley asked, now pissed.

"I'm here to help you open Purgatory," I announced. "So we all have a happy ending."

"Yeah, right," Crowley doubted. "What's to stop you from killing me?" he asked.

I crossed my arms. "Tell you what. Tell me where Alice is, and I won't hurt you." I offered.

The demon processed this. "Fine," he said. "Back there, one of the cells."

Blinking, I went for the door he motioned at. Down the hall of jail cells, I found Alice in one of the last ones on the left. "Alice!" I shrieked. She was laid on her back, eyes closed. "Alice." I said. I checked her pulse.

She was breathing. "Alice, get up. It's Lynn, I'm here." I told her. "Come on, Alice."

Alice didn't budge. "Come on, Alice! Wake up!" I yelled. I opened her eyelids, to see if her pupils were normal.

I shivered now. "Adelina," I said her real name. "Adelina, if you don't get up, I swear—"

"Don't call me that..." her brown eyes opened. "I wanna be American, not Italian."

"Oh, Alice," I gasped. "Are you okay?"

"Yeah, I'm tired. And hungry. And thirsty," she said. "I don't think I've had anything for three days. Crowley is the worst kidnapper ever..." she managed to laugh, then I saw tears form. "I was a mom, Lynn."

I put my hand on her shoulder. "I know."

"He killed them all."

"What?" I asked.

"He, Crowley... used some kind of stuff, to make them age. He asked them if he knew where some girl named Eve was," she started. "And then he killed them. My babies. Right in front of me." She was crying now. "To watch something that came out of you, killed right in front of you—" she sobbed, and I pulled her into a hug.

"I'm sorry. I'm so sorry." I said.

Alice sniffed, "Is, is my dad and the others okay?" she asked.

"Yeah, they're fine. I'll send you home." I helped her up.

"Make him pay," Alice said. "Crowley...rip him a new one."

Not responding, I gave her a sad smile, placed my palm on her forehead, and sent her home. Then I disappeared back to Cas and Crowley.

"You have two options," Cas said. "You can flee, or you die." he threatened.

I couldn't see Crowley's face, since he faced Cas. "We made a pact," he reminded. "Even I don't break contracts like this!"

"You heard him, prick," I said from behind, though I wasn't too sure what just happened. "Flee, or die."

The demon faced me and said sternly, "I knew I should have taken your sister when she was born. You can't trust anyone these days..." then he fled.

Realizing what he said, I took out my phone and sent Natalie a text. 'If Jackson gave Adena back to Nick, make him go there and stay with them. This is urgent.' Putting my phone away, Cas had that look. "What?" I asked.

"We have a traitor." he realized.

"Traitor-?" I repeated. "Who?" I asked, but he didn't say anything.


Cas and I were sat on the table. I was looking at the jar of...blood. The blood would be used to make the Purgatory gate, if I'm correct.

Hearing a whoosh, I didn't look up just yet. "You rang, Cas? Oh, hello Miss Logan."

Balthazar was the traitor-? I looked up at him. Oh no...

"We have a problem," Cas said. "Dean Winchester's on his way here." he announced.

"Really?" Balthazar said. "How'd he know where we were?"

"I don't know," Cas said. He stood up. "We have a Judas in our midst."

"Ah," Balthazar laughed. "Holy hell. It's that bloody cherub, isn't it?" he guessed.

No, it's you, I said to myself, my face twisted. "I don't know," Cas said. "I need you to find out."

"Yes, of course." Balthazar said. "Are you alright, Castiel?"

"...First Sam and Dean, and now this. I'm doing my best in impossible circumstances. It's difficult to understand." Cas explained.

"Well..." Balthazar paused. "You've always got... little old me," he reminded. "And Miss Logan here..." he gestured at me.

That was when I saw Cas disappear, and then reappear behind Balthazar. Oh, no, no, no! If this French ponce was gonna die, it would be at the hands of Jasper. Not Cas.

I stepped forward to maybe prevent it, but someone else beat me to the punch. A fluff of long white hair appeared behind Balthazar, just as Cas rammed in with the Angel Blade.

It was Racquel.

Castiel recognized her. "Racquel-? ...why?"

She managed a smile, "Because that little boy needs his father, whether he knows it or not." she explained. Then she screamed as the pain came, her face flashing.

Lighting up the whole room, I didn't blink as I watched her hit the floor, her black wings imprinted in the ground.

That was when Balthazar fled. All of a sudden, Jade's picture made sense. The one of all the angels. The one with no colored, 3D hair. It meant that the hair was white. Racquel's hair.

She was the mystery angel who'd die. And she just did.

That was one angel down. Would the rest of us die too?


Remember the picture of the odd symbol Jade drew? Yeah, it was what you had to make with the blood for the Purgatory gate. Cas was examining a paper, with the chant to open the gate, while I placed down Jade's picture.

That was when I heard the screaming. Cas and I glanced up to see...black smoke? crack the large window above.

"Never underestimate the King of Hell," turning around, there stood Crowley. "Now, I think it's time to re-renegotiate our deal." he decided.

Cas teleported behind him, and palmed his forehead, to gank him. Nothing happened. "Sweaty hands..." Crowley noted.

"What the hell?" I asked aloud.

"I'm safe and sound under the wing of my new partner." Crowley explained. He nodded behind him, and I heard a whoosh.

"Hello...Castiel. Lynn." it was Aunty-Uncle Raphael.

"Shit," I said. "This is a new low, for both of you." I snorted.

"Desperate times, mate." Crowley said directly to me.

"Working with demons?" Cas asked his older brother-sister. "I thought that wasn't you."

"Heard you were doing it," Raphael reminded. "Sounded like fun."

"You know, Castiel, you've said all sorts of mean things about Raphael." Crowley said. "I've found him...her...to be quite reasonable."

"Fool," Cas said. "Raphael will destroy you at the speed of thought."

Raphael clicked his-her tongue. "Castiel. You really think I would let you two open the door?" he-she glanced at me. "If anyone's going to be the new God, it's me." he-she decided.

"You have two options," Crowley said, then mocked, "Flee, or die." I would of laughed, if not given the circumstances.

I held the jar of blood tightly in my hands. "The blood, Lynn." Raphael ordered.

"Fuck you, auntie," I snarled.

The blood you have is dog blood, Cas said in my mind. I have the real blood.

Huh...? Eyes wide, I tossed the jar to Crowley just as Cas took my shoulder, teleporting us.


Evergreen, Missouri

"Wasn't this Crowley's previous hideout-?" I realized.

"Yes," Cas said. The real jar of blood in hand, he opened it, and began to make the Gate symbol.

Those sons of bitches were gonna get it now. "Are you ready?" Cas asked.

"Yeah, do it." I said.

"Ianua, magna, Purgatorii," Cas started the chant. My mouth fell a little when there was rumbling.

The symbol started to fade, as the chant went on. The rumbling too. When the Gate opened, I grabbed Cas' arm, so I wouldn't get sucked in.

"Ianua, magna, aperta, tandem!" Cas finished, and the hole opened completely. I knew he was smiling now, and I wanted to.

There they all were. The souls. Dear God...all the millions of...I was so drawn.

"Hang on!" Cas yelled through the noise. He shot out his arms, hands extended. "Here they come!"

Seeing the millions and millions and millions of souls burst forward towards us, my grip on his arm tightened.

Then quickly, very quickly, one by one, the millions of souls painfully went inside me, and inside Cas.


..bet you weren't expecting that to happen. And like I'd let Balthazar die! I knew Racquel would serve a purpose in the future when I made her lmao! And theory: don't think Balthy really died in the finale. It didn't show his body/wings, so...fingers crossed.
