The trip to Detroit took longer than they felt was needed. And Sam was an idiot.
"No." Dean and Emmuel said in unison.
"What you think we're just going to open the portal and he's just going to jump in saying thanks?"
"No. I am going to rip him from his vessel. I made that clear weeks ago."
"I cant let there even be a chance that you could get sucked in there, Em."
"I won't even have to touch him, Sam. Have you forgotten what I am?"
"I haven't forgotten. But I won't let you get hurt for me."
The conversation ended abruptly when Emmuel waved her hand locking his vocal cords in place.
They were stood outside of the building before she returned his speech.
"You're going to follow the original plan, that's final." She said her eyes blazing with light for a moment. He grit his teeth and nodded once.

"So you're the big bad sister that everyone up there has been talking about." Lucifer said. His vessel Nick had nearly disintegrated by now.
Without fanfare, or flair, she raised a hand clenching the air and subsequently his throat. His face showing fear for the first time. Her other hand reached through his chest and gripped tight before slowly pulling, drawing it out to hear him scream. After a few wrenching screams, his vessel collapsed to the floor and a blinding energy floundered in an invisible grasp.
And then it happened again. Not that she wasn't paying attention, she was, and it wasn't for lack of trying on Sam and Deans part, they were fighting their own battles, trying to keep back a group of demons that ran in.
It happened anyway.
She couldn't get a beam on ever demon in the room and they were aiming for her. She kept Lucifer in her grasp and blasted demons back with the other but there were to many for her to really split her focus.
For some reason demons really like slamming things into people's heads. And she hit the ground hard. The second to last demon fell to Deans blade.
The portal was already open, ready for Lucifer. But they could see it pulling things in, and to their horror Em was slowly sliding towards it in her daze.
"I'll do it! Take me, I'll do it!"
"No Sammy!" Dean yelled but it was already too late. Blinding light shot down Sams throat and the internal battle began. Suddenly Sam seemed to take control, his arm shot out and grabbed Meg, who had been the one to slam Emmuel, before throwing her harshly into the open portal. And after that it sealed. The rings dropping to the floor.
Sam walked over and picked them up standing before slowly turning around.
"Dean?" He gasped, breathing hard.
"S-Sam?" He asked. His face breaking into sadness when a cold smile spread on Sams normally gentle face.
"Sorry Dean-o, Sams not home. But feel free to leave a message." He said.
"You know I though it would be harder, killing the two of you. My sister too of course." He said before pacing.
"And now look, I have you trapped here, with no chance of-" he stopped as he turned around to an empty room.
"Dammit."
—————
They appeared at Bobby's seconds later. Emmuel falling to the ground.
"Castiel!" Dean yelled, hauling her into his arms and barging into the house.
"Dean! What happened?" Bobby yelled after him as he rushed to the couch, laying her down gently.
"Dammit, Cas!"
Castiel looked into the room.
"Where the hell did you go?!" He yelled not paying attention to the laceration on Castiel's forehead or the gouges on his arms.
"Dean," she said quietly, "he knew I could get you out. He had to leave before Lucifer kept him there."
She tried to sit up but the room span and fresh blood started to ooze from the wound.
"Castiel..." she groaned. "Please..." her eyes started to flutter. As quickly as possible he moved to her and placed a hand on her face. She sighed as the pain vanished. Then Dean was wiping blood from her face... again.
"We're going to get him back Dean, Sam thought he could over power him but he was wrong. It could be different with Sam. He isn't very far gone. And now that they both have vessels they will fight. We need to get to them."
"Where?" He asked.
"At the place where it all began. Lawrence."
