"Not in Kansas?" Jack frowns "Sam. The bunker is in Kansas. We are in the bunker."
Sam shakes his head.
"No we're not. It looks like the bunker but it's not. It's a set. "
"A set?"
" It's complicated. Me and Dean have been in this world before. "
"Balthazar sent you and your brother here." Michael speaks for the first time since they landed.
Sam nods.
"Yes...wait how..."
Michael smirks and taps his head.
Sam sighs.
Oh yeah.
"What is this place?" Jack asks.
"Another universe." Michael answers. "Another one of God's attempts on creating the perfect world" He looks around. "Probably abandoned it like he does with his other failed drafts."
" What do you mean failed drafts? " Cas says.
Michael opens his mouth to give an answer but a crew member steps in.
"Cuffs." He says. "Raise your hands."
Michael smiles and raises his hands.
"Please. I would be very grateful."
" You can't touch those. " Sam says. "They have to stay on him."
" Um no. He don't need to wear them during the break. " The crew member sighs. "Jared we are not doing the kinky thing with the cuffs again. We are on a time schedule. Mr Singer will be pissed if keep we messing about. "
"You really can't touch those."
"If you take those cuffs off we will all be in trouble." Jack says.
The crew member rolls his eyes.
'Okay...Jack." He said with a slight to his voice. He quickly slides the cuffs off. "There you go Jensen."
Michael rubs his wrists and smiles.
"Thanks. I been wanting to get them off." The archangel glares at Sam as he said it.
'Alright. See ya later."
The crew member goes off.
Michael looks and smiles wide.
"Now gentleman. Where were we?"
Cas lunges at Michael. Michael steps to the side causing Cas to fall first face into the ground.
"I thought you knew better Castiel." Michael said with a sigh. He smirks at Sam. "Hey. We still got this one here having false hope. So certain he is going to get his brother back. Poor soul."
Cas stands up feeling uneasy. He checks himself over almost as if he was looking for something.
Something is wrong. He thought.
"That little stunt you did back at Hitomi Plaza, clever but not that clever. I knew you couldn't keep me cuffed for long."
Michael raises his hand.
"I'm thinking of breaking a few bones maybe more. Might even remove a lung like your world Zachariah did."
He flicks his wrist. But nothing happened. Michael frowned and tried again but nobody moved.
The archangel snapped his fingers but the hunter, former nephilim and the angel were all still alive and standing.
Confusion appears on Michael's face as he tried to flap his wings but he couldn't feel his wings.
"What is this?" He questioned out loud.
"We don't have our powers." Cas says.
Sam remembered about the last time they were here.
Magic does not exist in this world.
He then remembered one of Raphael's angels who came over to kill them but he was powerless.
Everything we fight does not exist in this world.
A small smile appears on Sam's face.
"That's right. Angels don't exist in this world. So here, we are all the same."
Michael furrowed his eyebrows and shakes his head.
"Not possible. God does the same thing he does in other universes. Creates Heaven, angels. He would not create a world where we do not exist."
"Well he did. Guess God fancied a change. There is no Michael or Lucifer. It's all just show to entertain viewers. Did you not see that in Dean's memories huh?"
Michael refused to believe it. Why would his father create a universe where everything is fiction. Make a mockery out of his creations. Make the ultimate battle between Michael and Lucifer an absolute joke. None of it made sense.
"So Michael...is human?" Jack says.
"Yeah he is." Sam answers.
"I am not a mortal." Michael spat out the last word in disgust. "I am Michael. The most powerful being in existence."
He looks at a nearby mirror. He expects his eyes glow blue but they remained green. Not even a flash of grace goes through his eyes.
"In our world. Yes. But here you are just an actor who plays as Michael." Sam says.
Part of Sam was enjoying the archangel's reaction but being in this world Dean will never be able to come back. Sam had to find a way to get out of here.
We get Michael, get out of here and come up with a plan to get back to our world and most of all get Dean back.
Then a group of women came over.
"Jared" One of them calls out to him.
"Play along." Sam mutters to the angel and former nephilim. He turns round and smiles. "Yes?" He looks at the tag. "Olivia."
"We gotta refresh your make up. " Olivia says. "Jennifer wash the fake blood off Misha, Debbie your with Alex."
"I might give his hair another brush." Debbie says grinning at Jack as she said. "He needs more powder to his face.
"Pardon?" Jack frowns. "I need make up?"
"Uh yeah for like every scene." Debbie says.
"But...I'm not a girl."
Debbie laughs and puts her arm around the former nephilim's shoulder.
"You make me laugh Alex."
"My name is not Alex. Its Jack."
"Aww he is so cute when he acts." Olivia says. "Jack is a sweetie after all."
Sam didn't even realize Jennifer already took Cas away and Debbie was now walking off with Jack. Jack looks back at Sam with a help me expression.
"Its gonna be okay Ja...I mean Alex." Sam says. "I'll figure something out."
"Lastly Sophie you are doing Jensen." Olivia says.
"Got it." Sophie beams at the archangel. "This way sir."
"Um can't he stay with me." Sam says.
The hunter really did not want Michael out of his sight.
Olivia laughs.
"We won't be long. I promise ya."
Michael frowned but he thought about what Sam said.
Play along.
Michael smiles at the woman.
"Lead the way."
Sophie nods and walks with the archangel following behind.
Sam wanted to run and grab his brother's arm. He didn't want to lose him again.
Michael is human. He won't get far. Olivia said she won't be long. I just hope she keeps to her word and does hurry up.
Sam felt bad for Cas and Jack. They had no idea what was going on.
Hopefully they will listen and play along.
"Okay." Olivia puts Sam into a chair and faces him towards the mirror. "I'm gonna start with my favourite." She holds up a hair brush and hair dryer. "The hair."
Sam gulps but puts on a smile.
"Uh yeah sure. Go ahead."
Olivia giggles like crazy. She loved brushing Jared's hair.
"I love my job sometimes."
Then she brushes the first strand of hair.
"14 years. That's a long time."
Michael sits facing the mirror. Sophie wiped off his foundation and powder. She carefully applies it again to his face.
The archangel couldn't understand why his vessel needed make up. It didn't make much of a difference. Sophie said its good for the lighting and camera. Michael noticed his vessel's face gave off more of a glow. He had to admit it made him more handsome.
He tried to feel for his grace again but there was nothing not even a drop. Which was frustrating.
"Yes. People can't get enough of this show." Sophie replied
"But why? Why would people be interested in Sam and Dean's lives?"
"You tell me Jensen." She says with a wink.
Michael turns his head towards the make up artist.
"Their lives have been nothing but lies, pain, suffering, death. Who would really want to watch that?"
"And family." Sophie adds. "Fans love the brotherhood between Sam and Dean. Team Free Will, everyone adores Castiel and the latest addition Jack. Most of all how you and Jared have developed such a great friendship."
Michael laughs.
"Family." He shakes his head. "Family has always been a weakness of theirs. Family is the cause of pain, suffering and death. Don't the fans know that?"
Sophie frowns at the actor's change of behaviour.
"I know it." He adds. He looks back at the mirror. "Family is never a good thing. You are better off without them."
"Uh...okay." Sophie eyes him up and down. "Is this a moment you are trying to think like your character." Michael hardens his expression. Sophie nods "Yes it is. I get it now you are in Michael mode." She puts her equipment down. "I suggest you better drop it. Your wife is here."
My wife?
Sophie helps the archangel stand up.
"She's waiting for you in your trailer."
Michael nods and puts on a smile.
"Right. Thank you."
Michael pictures the trailer from Dean's memories and goes off looking for it.
You are married in this universe. Michael thought as he turned a corner.
He kept his eyes out for Sam, Cas or Jack. The archangel did not want to bump into them not in his powerless state.
Michael stops at the trailer. Jensen Ackles was on the door. Michael opens the door and walks in.
Inside looked bigger compared to the outside. On the table was a pile of magazines. Michael picks up a magazine and examines it.
On the front cover was the real Jared and Jensen posing with the Impala. Michael looks through the pages seeing more photos of the actors. He sees a photo of Jensen dressed as the archangel looking at the camera with a glint of mischief in his eyes.
Not only God has made my life a fake. He makes me a model on top of it.
Michael drops the magazine and looks angrily at the ceiling.
"You think this funny father. First you abandon me and now I'm not real to you. Just a character in your work. Is this what it has turned into." He scoffs. "When I finally get to you old man you will definitely not be laughing." Rage fills the archangel's voice. "You will be dead. I'll be the one who kills you. You hear me!"
"Honey?"
Michael snaps out of his enraged thoughts and turns round. A woman looks at him with a frown. The woman looked familiar. He has seen an angel use her as a vessel.
His eyes widen.
"Jo."
He looks at the ring on her finger and remembers what Sophie said.
Your wife is here. She is waiting for you in your trailer.
"Jo."
Michael looks at the woman again. A horrifying thought struck him.
"The wife is Jo. I'm married to Jo!"
