He roared into the cemetery, blasting music through the open windows. Skidding to a halt in front of the two and hoping out.
"Leave Dean, you had your chance." Michael said.
"Oh I'm not here to fight," he said. "I'm here to watch." He smirked.
Out of nowhere Castiel appeared.
"Hey, Assbutt!" He yelled before hurling a bottle of lit holy oil at Michael who promptly burst into flames and disappeared. Emmuel, who was cloaking her power next to a tree out of sight, knew it wouldn't kill him but he would be gone for a few minutes at most.
"Did you just, Molotov my brother?" He asked in a low voice.
Her eyes widened and she stopped whatever power Lucifer threw at Castiel before it reached him. It would have disintegrated him had she not filtered her power through him a few weeks ago, and while it wouldn't be that strong now it would have definitely caused damage.
Lucifer looked at Castiel in astonishment before really taking a good look at him. He finally saw the pale green tinge to his wings and his eyes widened.
She could feel him stretch out his power looking for her. But she stayed hidden, balling up her power in the depths of her mind.
"Where is she?" He asked. Glancing around the cemetery in a way that was supposed to be nonchalant.
"Not here." Dean said.
They stood there for another precious moment in silence.
"So, Dean. What did you really come for?" He asked with a forced smirk.
"I want to talk to Sam."
"He's not in right now, but you can leave a message." He said with a sneering smile.
"Sam! Come on man, I know you're in there! Fight it!"
It was hard to watch him get beaten. And she diverted more of Lucifers power, pulling punches for him so Dean wouldn't be too badly beaten. They neared the Impala and she winced when she saw how swollen Deans eye had become. She couldn't pull all the punches or Lucifer would know something was wrong.
Suddenly Lucifer stopped at a glint in the mirror of the Impala and she knew Sam had broken through, even just for a moment. She could see it in his eyes. Taking her chance she pulled the rings from his pocket with a wave of her hand.
Too soon Michael was back and Lucifers attention was diverted, Sam getting shoved back in. He left Dean in a slump against the hood of the car and calmly walked to face his brother.
"You're resilient, I'll give you that." Lucifer said as he walked. Michael stood stoically.
She diverted another attack Lucifer tried to shove on Castiel and, with a silent wave, pushed Castiel back to Bobby's. He wasn't needed anymore and she didn't want him hurt.
"It is time to end this boys." She said. They looked around wildly trying to place her.
Suddenly she appeared between her two brothers, her eyes glowing with a fire neither of them had previously witnessed, and all they could do was stare in shock at her wings which glinted in the sun almost as if they were made of metal.
The key of rings flew from her hand and dropped to the ground opening the portal. Before either of them could react she shoved her hands in either direction, gripping tightly, and yanked upwards. Sam and Adam fell to the ground unconscious.
"I warned Heaven and Hell, both went against me. Now you will both rot in the pit." She spat.
The two blinding masses of energy squirmed in her grasp but neither saw a way to break free. The wind of the portal was whipping her hair and her eyes glowed anew. Hurling both her arms to the ground she watched as her brothers were sucked into Hell.
Dean ran to Sam then, grabbing his shoulders and lifting him into his lap while pulling him farther from the open pit.
Emmuel went to Adam. And she could tell before she even lowered to the ground that he was dead.
Adam was gone.
"Dammit!" She yelled. Waving to the rings they separated and returned to her. She then rushed to Sam and was relieved after doing a scan of his mental and physical health, he would be fine.
"I'm so sorry Dean. Adam... I tried to warn him-"
"I know Em, it's ok, we got Sammy... we got Sammy."
—————
They had put Sam on the bed in the guest room at Bobby's and gone downstairs. Emmuel didn't know how long it would be before he woke up, but knew he would.
"So, you saved the world huh?" Bobby asked them.
"That was Em, Bobby."
She raised her eyebrow at him.
"What?" He asked.
She sighed and glanced at Bobby who was looking at her with the same long suffering look before he turned and headed back into the kitchen.
"What," he asked again.
"Dean. You did save the world."
"I started all of this. You saved it."
She sighed again before looking into his eyes. She saw all the years of lost self worth. Damn John Winchester.
"If it hadn't been for you Dean, I would have never been able to help. I would be stuck in Heaven. And no doubt you would have been able to find a way. Maybe even gotten the rings. But you freed me. You. You gave me the chance to keep Sam here, where he belongs, rather than him jump in to save us all. You did this Dean. I just helped."
She could tell by the clench in his jaw that he didn't fully believe her, but he didn't refute her.
And that was a good start
