"And you're sure it's from today?" Castiel asked.

"Yes," Dean said, on the other end, "We checked five times."

"And this device the girl told you about?" Cas continued.

"She called it a Hyperbolic Pulse Generator." Dean replied, "She's not sure how it works herself, she just knows it does because she's seen it work. " After checking to make sure she wasn't in room he said, "Yeah, I think she might have had a verytraumatic childhood."

Meanwhile in another room, Ida Marie was trying to finagle a generator from her father, without explaining the situation. It was proving easier said than done.

"That's a high-end piece of equipment." He told her, "I can't just give it away without knowing what it's being used for, even for you."

"It's standard issue." Ida Marie argued, "We've got hundreds of them, and I'm not doing anything that's going to break it. I just can't tell you what I'm doing with it."

"Then it can't be that important." Her father replied.

"Look, all I can tell you is that it's for my work with the American Hunters," Ida Marie tried, "But that's really all I can-" Her voice trailed off as she thought she heard screaming in the background, "Are you torturing something while you're on the phone with me?"

"No," Her father denied, "Why would you think that?" Then she heard the scream again.

"You are, aren't you?" Ida Marie demanded, "You're torturing something while I'm trying to have a conversation with you!" She threw up her hand in exasperation, "Or killing it, either one. So, which one is it?"

"Neither." He said, keeping up the act. Ida thought he must have gagged his victim, because she could hear muffled noises.

"Dad, I'm nineteen." Ida Marie responded, "You can't just put a biscuit in my mouth and send me out to play anymore."

"Tell you what, Poppet," The man tried, "If I give you the Generator no questions asked, will you please stop this line of questioning?"

"No questions asked?" Ida Marie asked.

"No questions asked." He confirmed.

"How soon can you get to the states?" Ida Marie replied.

"Actually, I'm already here." He answered, "It seems I have a part to play in this endeavor of ours as well. But it would be better if the Americans didn't know that."

"Alright," Ida Marie conceded, "Wait, if you're here, then who's feeding Algernon?"

Meanwhile, the others -which now consisted of Mary, Andy, Adam, Emma, and Bella-were gathered in the main room, watching the news clip again.

"How did you even find this?" Mary asked.

"We just came across it while surfing the web." Emma answered.

"And what exactly where you looking for?" Bella spoke up.

"She was just helping me catch up on everything I've missed over the past six years." Adam explained.

At that point, both Dean and Ida Marie came back into the room, trying to speak at once.

"I'm sorry." Ida Marie said, "You go first."

Dean took the offer. "Cas wants me to meet him and Crowley in LA, try to figure out where Lucifer is, that oughta be fun. I'll be heading out as soon as we get things set up here."

"I'm going with you." Mary declared, taking a few steps forwards.

"What?" Dean responded, "No. It's too-"

"Dangerous?" Mary asked, "All the more reason for you not to go alone. Emma's too inexperienced, and even if she wasn't you'd be distracted the whole time, Andy has no training whatsoever, neither does Adam, pulse he's got a bum leg, Ida has to get this generator thing, and you don't trust Bella as far as you could throw her-no offense."

"None taken." Bella said, knowing she had earned the distrust.

"Okay, fine." Dean gave in, "You can come."

"I'm coming, too." Bella spoke up, "I knew people in LA back when I was alive. Assuming they're still there, maybe they can help us. And before you say anything about me possibly screwing me over, keep in mind Satan wants me dead, too, because I'm part of humanity."

Dean and Mary looked at each other. She did have a point there. "Alright." Dean agreed, "But only if you do exactly what we tell you." Before Bella could respond, he turned to the Britt in the doorway, "So, Ida, how are we on that generator?"

"My dad said yes," Ida Marie answer, "I just have to meet up with him to get it. I'll call you when it's done."

"Okay then," He pointed Emma and boys, "You three stay here, hold down the fort until we get back, tell if you find any other developments."

"Alright," Emma conceded, knowing there was no way to talk him into bringing her along on this one, "Just...come back."

Dean walked up to Emma and pulled him into an embrace. "Don't worry," He assured her, "I will. We all will, okay?"

Emma nodded, still clinging to him.

Shortly after that, they three lefts for Los Angeles.

"Alright." Dean said, as they drove down the road, "450 miles to L. A, land of gridlock, Botox, overtaxing, underachieving, smell of sweaty depression. I mean, you can't breathe. The beaches are toxic. You got dudes in skinny jeans wearing sunglasses inside." He sighed, "Oh, Image-obsessed narcissus. I do like yoga, pants, thought." Dean chuckled, "You know, the last time me and Sam were there was like, 10 years ago, I think. What started out as a vacation turned into a vengeful spirit job. We had to go undercover as a P. A."

"What's a P. A?" Mary asked.

"I think they're kind a likes slaves." Dean replied, "Food's good, though."

And so, Dean wound up telling them the story of that hunt for most of the trip.

However, when they got to the Bellaqua hotel they sat in silence for the most part as they waited in the lobby for their cohorts. Bella got some cucumber water from the dispenser and started to drink it. Dean gave her a look.

"What?" Bella exclaimed, "I'm thirsty. And it's good."

"It's vegetable water." Dean replied.

Just then Castiel walked in. "Dean." He observed, "Mary. Bella. I didn't expect you two to be here."

"All hands-on deck situation," Mary explained, "And Bella knows people here."

"You consider switching up your duds there?" Dean commented, "Bit stiff for this town."

"He could pass for agent." Mary spoke up.

"Yeah, maybe a third-tier agent." Dean scoffed.

"At least like I don't look a lumberjack." Cas retorted, before turning back to the women, "You two on the other hand look ravishing by the way."

"Thank you." Mary replied, "So, where's this Crowley guy?"

"He said he'd meet us here." Cas answered, "Frankly, I appreciate the break. I know it's only been a couple of days, but he's right there the whole time just talking and talking and talking. It's relentless."

Crowley approached the angel from behind.

"Don't listen to him." He said, "Feathers and I are all but inseparable now."

The look on Cas' face would say otherwise.

"You find anything?" Mary asked, hopping to defuse the situation before things irrupted into bloodshed.

"Yes." Crowley replied, "Vince Vincent is riding with the Devil."

"So, you basically found out what we all already know." Bella spoke up.

"What is she doing here?" Crowley asked, "How is she alive? Last time I was her was-"

"It appears God and/or his sister saw fit to bring her back to life as a reward for Dean bringing them back together." Cas interrupted, "And while we're at it, this is Dean's mother, Mary."

Crowley looked over the blonde, confused. "Well, where was I when all this was happening?"

"Presumably, not containing Lucifer." Cas said, before trying to get the conversation back on track, "Okay, so what now?"

Crowley pulled out a keycard to one of the rooms, presumably the rock stars who Lucifer was currently processing. "I suggest we go check out his room. Vince is scheduled to be in the studio all day, so we've covered."

"How'd you get the card?" Dean asked.

"This is L. A." Crowley offered for an explanation, "I know a lot of people."

The group got the impression he meant he owned a lot of people's souls.

Using the key card, the team entered the room to find that it looked like someone had beat them to ransacking it.

"Well, looks like some kind of a fight." Cas observed.

"Mm." Dean responded, interrupting the evidence in a very different way, "Yeah. Some kind."

Bella went over to a stack of books, looking through them. "Look at this." She said, "Like, all of them, from Aerosmith to ZZ Top. "

"It's like he's studying how to become famous." Mary noted, joining Bella.

Dean joined them both. "Well, so what, Lucifer's a dork? That's good to know."

"Look at this-" Castiel said, beginning to read from a leather booklet, "'The seed of a ripe dragon fruit drizzled with exactly 1 ounce of Acacia honey, prepared in a ceramic bowel-no plastic.' What is this spell?"

Crowley took the booklet from him. "It's breakfast." He answered, "It's Vince's rider. I've seen worse."

"I don't get it." Mary said, "From what you've told me, Lucifer could be taking over Heaven and Hell right now, and instead, he's trying to act out some rock god fantasy?"

"Yeah." Dean replied, spotting a discarded guitar, "Who wouldn't?" He struck the strings.

"I found something." Cas called out, holding up something small and bloody.

"What is that?" Dean asked.

"It appears to be a human tooth pulled out by the root." Cas informed them.

Meanwhile in a room at Death Siren Studio, Lucifer was on the couch next to the owner of the tooth, a young woman named Roseleen, a fan that Vince probably had a restraining order against at some point.

"Can I ask you something?" Roseleen requested, "Why are you spending time with me? You ignored me for years, not that I blamed you."

"I was a fool not to recognize such sweet devotion." Lucifer answered, laying it on tick.

Roseleen hid her smile at his words.

"Talk to me, Roseleen." Lucifer said, "Tell me about...me."

Roseleen sighed. "You're Vince. Vince Vicente. And I knew I was in love with you the moment I saw you. I was sixteen, just a normal kid growing up in Arcadia."

"Arcadia." Lucifer tried the name out, "Sounds beautiful."

"I was watching Headbanger's Ball and the 'Bloody Messiah' video came one. " Roseleen continued, "And I..." She sighed, "Oh. It was your voice. And your hair. And you eyes. It was everything. It was everything. You were everything. And even when people made fun of me-younger girls at work, shredding on my Ladyheart tattoos and saying you're a joke-I never stopped loving you. And I never will."

It was then Lucifer decide to test a theory. "How much do you love me? What would you do to show me?"

"Anything." Roseleen answered.

"Anything?" Lucifer asked, pulling a knife from his pocket, "Would you bleed?"

"Then bleed." Lucifer said, handing her the knife.

Roseleen took the blade and started to crave into her chest. As she began to scream in pain, Lucifer just smiled.
