Dean pulled up to the hospital doors with Anna and Ruby. His hands were gripped tight against the steering wheel and his jaw was clenched. Very rarely did he hunt alone without his brother Sam. He brought whatever weapon he could including some angel blades and Ruby's knife. Plus some holy water. He did bring the supernatural cuffs, the ones that were used to bind Ruby. He hoped they worked against Alistair.

Dean never met Alistair, nor was he looking forward to meeting him, but he was looking forward to killing him. He looked over at Anna who was staring ahead looking grim. He wondered what she was thinking. Ruby was in the backseat humming.

"Would you shut up?"

Ruby smirked from the backseat. "Ohhhh, am I bothering you Squirrel?"

"Go to hell bitch."

"Been there, done that bought home the T-shirt. Plus a mug."

"Would you guys be quiet. I'm trying to think." Anna blurted out. She was starting to get her headache back. She wished she had her angelic body. She had her human body, heck she was born with it, but she ready to return to being an angel again.

She worried what is going to happen to her when she returned to Heaven. Her Creator, God will most likely destroy her. She shuddered. He will most likely get Uriel to do it. Back in the day she was one of Heaven's lieutenants. Now since her voluntary fall from grace, she was nothing. Uriel, smug bastard that he is, resented Anna's position. True, she was younger than Uriel, but she was a better strategist. Now Uriel will most likely be in her old position.

At the moment she couldn't care less. Her human parents were dead, she was stuck being a human for the time being, and she was stuck in this tin can with her ex and a demon. What else could go wrong. Then she heard a scream. It was her old charge Samandriel. Oh my god. That scream. The last time she heard a scream like that it was during the War. It was the demon Alistair. She had to save him. She got out of the car.

"Wait! Anna! You can't just jump in, there's demons there. Your human now remember?" That was Ruby's voice.

"My friend Samandriel is in trouble. The way he is screaming he is being tortured severely. I promised him centuries ago to protect him."

"I hate to say this but Ruby's right. We need a plan. Ruby, you said we need a angel without grace to bypass the security. What do you mean?"

"This magic that is being used is tied to Celestial magic. A creature that was created from its power can enter the barrier so can a human; but, a ordinary human won't be able to see the magic being used. However beings with magic and celestial beings can. Like witches, demons and angels for example. But Alistair is smart. He put up a security system. Any magic or grace being sensed will trigger an alarm. Since Anna is a ex-angel, she can see how the magic is getting used. She can also save the angel being tortured. But a warning. Alistair is waiting for Anna. A former angel that can hear Heaven is a great spying tool. He would love to hear what the other side is doing. Once he gets her, he'll kill both your angel and your witchy friend. He'll most likely kill Phoebe when he sees that her powers were taken away, but not before torturing her for pleasure."

Dean swore. Anna just felt helpless. She heard Samandriel's cries for help. She was more than willing to trade herself for him, but she knew Alistair will most likely kill her friends anyway. Then she had a thought. Dean had angel blades and holy water. She wasn't a hunter, but she was a former lieutenant. She asked Dean for some weapons.

"Are you sure you can fight? The last time we went out you ran away from butterflies and any creatures that went near you. I had to step on front of you to protect you."

"I fought in the front lines of Heaven during the War. I faced Hell's Knights, fell to Earth by cutting of my angelic grace with a rusty dull knife, and survived junior high school. Believe me, a few demons are nothing to me."

"Alright, you win against this argument. Anna where is the psychiatric ward at?"

"The other side. But visiting hours are over. Even with my work pass, I don't have permission to enter after dusk. Only certified staff are allowed in... Wait a minute. Dean, did you ever visit your friend in the hospital?"

Dean's face turned bright red. "No, I was busy hunting. Sam did whenever he saw Piper."

"So Sam made an effort to visit your friend, and you couldn't. You could have went with him."

Dean not looking at her mumbled something. Ruby interrupted their argument.

"You guys are supposed to be heroes. Shouldn't you be saving your friends?"

Both Dean and Anna just looked at each other. They were still feeling the after effects of their breakup, but now is not the time. Dean got out of the car and went to the trunk and got out a bag. He loaded up what he could and armed himself as needed. He gave Anna a blade and a flask of holy water.

"Ruby, you also mentioned the same magic can be used to leave, how does that work?" Dean asked.

"I'm not exactly sure. But listen to the words being chanted. That could be a clue. That's all I know."

Dean was silent.

"Alright. I'm going to take off. I cannot go with you, I'll be a wanted demon for helping you. Plus my magic will be detected." She vanished from the car.

Dean and Anna nodded at each other and walked towards inside the doors. A security guard that was standing there stopped them from going forward.

"Excuse me. Visiting hours are over unless one of you are here to see a doctor?"

Anna spoke up. "I'm here to take my brother to see a psychiatrist. He claims to be stalked by an angel. He claims his name is Castiel and is obsessed with him. Our mom is worried about him. She told me to take him to the ER, so he can be safe."

Dean looks at her sharply. "Seriously?"

Anna hits him in the ribs with her elbow, hard.

Dean blurts out "Yea. Castiel is following me. He said he wants to take me away to his cloud in Heaven, he said I'm his perfect vessel."

The guard looks unconvinced. Then Dean goes down on his knees and screams. "He's here, he's here! He wants to take me away! No stop Castiel!" He gestures with his hands up in the air staring up at something that is not there crawling backwards.

Anna tries not to laugh. But it worked. A bunch of nurses come running and one of them brings a wheelchair. They load up Dean and take him away to the triage area. One of them gestures to Anna.

"Miss. We need his medical info plus insurance. Can you come along to fill in some forms?"

Anna follows her to the desk. How was she going to pull this off? Luckily for her there was a announcement over the loudspeaker.

"CODE YELLOW. PSYCHIATRY UNIT. CODE YELLOW."

Anna knew that was a code for a missing patient. Shit. Anna hoped that wasn't a coincidence. The nurses there plus the security guard ran down the hall. Anna double checking to make sure no one was watching went to find Dean. Dean was already waiting when Anna found him behind a curtain. Together they snuck away from the Emergency department towards the unit where Phoebe was in. Avoiding the staff plus security guards they managed to be in the hallway close by the psychiatry unit. Unfortunately, due to the code in effect, the doors were blocked off by security. Even without the security, the unit was locked at all times. Now what? But Anna could sense the magic. If she got closer to it, it would feel like Home. She looked at Dean for answers.

Dean felt stuck. He could charge in, but it would mean a lot of innocent people could die. He could use his FBI badge, but it would be useless. The demons there would be watching out for him. How was he going to pull this off? He wished Sam and Castiel were here.
