Chapter 55 I am Balthazar.
Bobby and Sam were sitting at the table, looking over some news articles from Portland, Oregon. Headline read, Couple killed in small plane crash. Dean came out of the shower and smiled as he saw Jade sleeping on the bed. Lexie and Lisa also were taking a nap. Dean walked to the dinning room, pulling his shirt over his head. He looked at the screen. "Is that a job?" he asked as he sat at the table. Bobby sat back in the chair. "Couple goes up in a plane. The wreckage just found in the woods." Dean raised his eyebrows. "Doesn't really sound like News Of The Weird." Sam handed him a piece of paper from the printer. "Pilot was found 17 miles away, flambéed." Dean looked over the article. "Young girl on board, gone. No body, nothing." Bobby added. Dean sat down the paper and raised one eyebrow. "Ok, I'm changing the channel." he said as he looked at Bobby. "Worth checking out." Dean said as he stood. Sam stood. "I'm game." Dean looked at Bobby then back at Sam. "Come on, Sam. You just got vertical." Sam shrugged. "Exactly. I'm up and I'm good." Dean shook his head. "Look, a few more days of cable, fattening food, and maybe some special attention from Lexie, couldn't hurt." Dean said as he wiggled his eyebrows. Sam smirked. "Yeah, right. Because that is what you did when you came back up. I need to do this." Sam looked Dean right in the eyes, not giving an inch. Dean let out a deep breath and shook his head. "Fine, you me and Bobby." Bobby put his hands on the back of his head and leaned back in the chair. "Nah, you two go ahead. Jade is on to something with this Eve thing. I am gonna help her with it. It is defiantly got something to do with Purgatory." Dean looked at Sam and shrugged. "Ok, lets check the supplies." Dean walked out to the Impala with Sam behind him. "What's up with him? Turns down a hunt?" Sam asked. Dean smiled and shrugged. "One part age, three parts whiskey. But I'm fine with it. I feel better if he is here looking after the girls." Dean said as he opened the trunk. Sam smiled. "Yeah, me too."
Jade walked into the dinning room rubbing her eyes. "I didn't mean to fall asleep. Where are the boys?" she asked as Lexie and Lisa joined them. Lexie walked into the kitchen and sat Bentley on the floor as she grabbed a bottle water. Bobby handed Jade the article. She smirked as she read over it and handed it to Lexie as she walked back in. "They are going on a hunt?" Jade asked. Lexie sat the paper on the table. "No, their not." she said as she looked at Bobby. Bobby shrugged. "Sam just woke up from a three day coma." Lisa said. Bobby held up his hands. "He says he is good. Dean is good with it." Bobby said as they all turn to the boys walking back in. Dean clapped his hands and rubbed them together. "We've got a job." he said as he put on that cocky grin. Sam smiled until they both saw the looks on the girls face. All three glaring, jaws clenched. Dean smiled. "Has anyone ever told you that you all look just alike when you do that?" Sam hit his chest. Dean looked at Jade and shook her head. Lexie stood and put her hands on the table. "You've got a what?" she asked. Sam walked to her and grabbed her arm, Lexie jerked here arm away and looked up at him arms crossed. "Look, it is a easy job. I'm am feeling fine. I need to do this. See where I am." he said as he rested his hand on his chest. Lexie stared at him then at Dean. Dean looked away from her. Lisa was looking between all of them. Jade had begun to shake her leg and tap her finger on the table. "Ok then. I am going to pack." Dean said as he rubbed the back of his head and headed to the bedroom. Sam leaned and kissed Lexie head. "Can you help me pack?" he asked. She let her arms fall and rolled her eyes as she walked to the bedroom. Lisa looked at Bobby, he raised his eyebrows and shrugged. Jade got up and followed Dean to the bedroom.
Dean had his duffel on the bed and was in the closet getting out his jeans. Jade sat on the bed watching him. "What are you doing?" she asked. He looked at her and smiled. "I am going on a job. That's what we do, right?" She shook her head. "You can't stop for one minute. Let's talk about this, see what happens with Sam?" she asked as he rolled his cloths. He held his arms out, "Talk about what, Jade. Sam is back. We have a job. This is our life. What am I suppose to do? Go back to work with Josh and Brent? Act like the world isn't fucked up." He looked at her as she hung her head and rubbed her forehead. He let out a deep breath and walked around the bed and sat on the bed facing her. "Look, this is a easy job. We need to know what he can do. What ever this is with Eve, or what ever it is, may be headed our way. I have to know if he can handle it." he said as he lifted her chin and looked at her. "I don't like this." she said as she looked at him. "I don't like it. But it is what it is." He pressed his lips to hers, she closed her eyes and softly kissed him. He moaned as their lips parted. He rubbed his thumb over her cheek and grabbed her hand. "Jade, I need you to stay here. Don't go on no field trips. Bobby is gonna be here with you girls. I can't focus on Sam if I am worried about you." he said as he looked into her eyes. She let out a deep breath. "Fine. But I don't like this." He smiled and kissed her again. She helped him pack the rest of his things.
Lexie was quiet as she packed Sam's things. Sam watched her pace from the closet to the bed. "I know your mad, but I'm fine. I feel great." Sam said as she glared at him. "Your fine? Well, that's good. Let's jump right back in." she said as she walked back toward the closet. He grabbed her shoulders and turned her to face him. She looked up at him, lips tight. He cupped her face and smiled. "I forgot how sexy you were when you were pissed. It is cute." he said as he smiled. She slapped his side. He laid soft kissed on her lips. Then pulled back to look at her. "This is a small job. I need to jump back in with both feet. I will be gone a couple days top. Baby, I am awake. I want my life back. That includes, you, Bentley and hunting." She smiled up at him and laid her head against his chest as he wrapped his arms around her. "You are gonna owe me an amazing date night when you get back." she said as she looked back up at him and smiled. He pressed his lips to hers, "You got it, baby." he whispered across her lips.
Lisa was looking over the details of the job. Bobby looked at her. "Are you and Cas together, or what?" he asked. Lisa shook her head and laughed. "Yeah, I guess. As much as you can be with an angel." Bobby nodded. "Cas is a good guy. I think things will work out." Lisa looked up at him and smiled. "I hope so." she said as she rubbed her belly. Bobby patted her hand, "They always do. Just the way they are suppose to, hun." He gave her a smile.
The boys loaded up and said their goodbyes. Sam was on the phone with the local police department. He hung up the phone and huffed. "So, get this. There were two other disappearances in this town in the last week. One college girl gone from her dorm and another didn't make it home from school." Dean looked at Sam, "Uh, anything in common between them?" he asked. Sam shook his head. "No, just young and female, like the girl from the plane." Dean wrinkled his forehead. "What snatches a girl from the sky, anyway?" Sam shrugged. "Have no idea." They were quiet for a few minutes. Sam looked at Dean. "Did you even try?" he asked. Dean looked at him confused. "Try what?" he asked as he looked at Sam. "You know. Have a real life with Jade?" Dean looked back out the windshield. "Yeah, I did. I got a job with Brent and Josh. Liked it actually. But me and Jade begin to grow apart. It wasn't me. So, I went back to hunting." Dean said. Sam nodded and Dean turned up the radio.
Jade woke up and made her way to the kitchen for coffee. Bobby was sitting at the table, buried in an old book. Lisa met Jade at the counter. "How long has he been up?" she asked Jade. Jade shrugged. "He probably hadn't been to bed. They sat at the table. Bobby looks up at them. "You were onto something with Eve. She can be risen from Purgatory by dragons. The dragons have to sacrifice enough virgins and boom. She is out." Bobby said as Jade looked at the screen. Lisa ran her hand through her hair and looked at Bobby. "I know this is a stupid question. But, are dragons real?" Bobby looked at her and raised his eyebrows. "There is all kinds of lore on it. I haven't seen one. But there is a lot of things I haven't seen, but I know they are real." Lisa smirked. "Ok, so dragons are real." Jade took a drink of her coffee. "Have the boys called?" she asked Bobby. Bobby looked at his watch and stretched. "No, but that is a good sign. That means they have it under control. Now, I am gonna take a nap." he said as he stood. Jade looked at Lisa. "Let's wake Lexie." Lisa smiled and they both headed to Lexie's room. They both bounced on the bed as Lexie jumped. "You jerks." Lexie smiled and rubbed her head. Jade and Lisa laid on the bed on each side of her. "Have the boys called?" Lexie asked. "Not yet." Lisa said. They all three stared at the ceiling. "Are we ever gonna be normal again?" Lisa asked. Jade and Lexie looked at her and laughed. "Those days are long gone." Jade said. "Price you pay for mind blowing sex with heart melting sexy men." Lexie added. "Don't forget, earth saving, badass, red blooded men. Well, almost red blooded." Jade said as they all laughed.
"Three sexy women in one bed. A fallen angel's dream." a voice said They all sat up on the bed and saw a tall, thin nicely dressed man, English accent. They all three tried to use their powers but nothing. He smiled. "That doesn't work on me. I am an angel. A rebellious angel, but an angel. I'm Balthazar. Me and Cas have been friends for a long time. " he said as he held his arms out and walked closer to them. "What do you want? Sam and Dean are not here." Jade said as she watched him. "I know. I came to talk to you. I'm sure you know about the war between Raphael and your precious Castiel." Lisa looked at him, "I didn't think it had come to that yet." "Oh, yeah it has. Castiel has took up with some rather nasty allies." Lisa looked at him concerned. "Who?" she asked. Balthazar shook his head. "I can't tell you that. But this can't end good for any of us. Also, a new angel has joined the fight. She has a little trick up her sleeve. She will stop at nothing to win this war." he explained. Jade looked at him and stood. "What does this have to do with us? And why are you telling us this?" He looked at her and smiled. "I want Cas to win. He paved the way for all of us, with the itch to rebel. And I happen to like Sam and Dean. I mean they did the impossible. They beat both angels and demons and put a halt to the end of the world. And they all have excellent taste in women." he said as he smiled and looked them over. "What are we suppose to do?" Lexie asked. He shook his finger at them. "Nothing yet. But soon it will all make sense. And when it does you have to do what it takes to stop it." He looked around. "Ok, my time is up. I will be in touch." he smiled and disappeared. Before the girls could react, Cas appeared. They watched as Cas walked around the room. "Was some one just here?" he asked as he looked back at the girls. They all looked at each other. Lisa stood and folded her arms over her chest. "Know anyone named, Balthazar?" she asked. She could see the surprise in Cas's eyes. "He was here. I thought he was dead." Jade faked a laugh. "Think again." Jade said as she walked to the kitchen, the other girls followed along with Cas. "What did he want?" Cas asked. The girls got eggs and bacon from the fridge. Lexie walked out and grabbed Bentley. Lisa looked at him. " He is worried about you and this war. He doesn't trust who you have enlist to help you. Which is who, by the way?" she asked hand on her hip. Cas blinked a couple times and looked back at her. "That doesn't matter. Is that all he said?" he asked. Jade looked at him. "Oh, he also said there was another angel involved. Didn't say who. But he is pulling for you." Jade begin to bacon in the pan. "He is not to be trusted. Everything is under control." Cas said. Lisa stepped toward him to ask why, but he disappeared. She stomped her foot. "Damn it! I am gonna find a way to stop him from doing that." Jade and Lexie looked at her and laughed. "Yeah, good lick with that." Lexie said.
Dean was sitting in the motel room. Reading over airplane girls diary. Sam was talking to the families of the other two missing girls. He looked at his watch and grabbed his phone smiling when Jade's voice was on the other end. "Hey." Jade said and he could almost see the smile on her face. He smiled. "Hey, sweetheart. What are you doing up so early?" he asked.
Jade: "Couldn't sleep. Then we had a visit from an angel this morning."
Dean raised his eyebrows. "Who?"
Jade: "Balthazar, you know him?"
Dean rubbed his hand over his face. "Yeah, falling angel, stole a bunch of angel weapons. Met him on a job. What did he want?"
Jade took a bite of bacon. "Worried about Cas, actually. Said that Cas has someone helping him with this war in heaven. He doesn't trust who ever it is. And a new angel has joined the war. She wants to be the Head Bitch In Charge."
Dean raised his eyebrows. "A chick? Uh."
Jade rolled her eyes. "he doesn't trust her, whoever she is. But he said we have to stop it. Cas has to win. We have to do whatever it takes to make sure that happens."
Dean smirked. "And how are we gonna do that, if we don't know who we are suppose to stop?"
Jade: "He said we would know when it is time. He disappeared when he felt Cas coming. Said he would be back."
Dean ran his hand over his face. "Ok, I will talk to him. See what I can find out. Look, don't do anything, please."
Jade smiled. "I'm not. I mean what can I do?" she said as she took another bite of bacon.
Dean smiled, he could hear her eating. "What are you eating?"
Jade smiled. "Bacon. And it is good. You want some?"
Dean smiled and licked his lips. "Smart ass."
Jade smiled. "Ok, be careful. And call me."
Dean smiled. "I will."
Dean smirked as he flipped through the diary. This wasn't like the other times he left her. He could hear in her voice, she was gonna stay put. Made it easier to concentrate on Sam.
