"How would you then explain an earthquake, a hurricane, and multiple tornadoes, all at the same time, all around the globe?"
"Two words. Carbon emissions."
"Yeah, right, wavy gravy," Dean scoffed.
Zoe shrugged, "Well they don't exactly know what's causing a massive spike in natural disasters. They have no idea that Lucifer is out of his cage."
A knock on the door cuts off Dean. He pulls out his gun while Sam goes to answer the door. The door opens to reveal a very familiar face.
"Oh Crap."
"You okay, lady?" Sam asked confused.
"Sam...is it really you?" Becky asked.
Sam glanced back at Dean and Zoe and shrugged. Zoe face-palmed, muttering about second hand embarrassment.
Becky took a step closer and placed her hand on Sam's chest, "And you're so firm."
"Uh, do I know you?" Sam asked confused.
Becky pulled back while Sam continued to stare at her bewildered, and replied, "No. But I know you. You're Sam Winchester. And you're…" she frowned as her eyes landed on Zoe and Dean (who hid his gun), "Not what I pictured. And I have no idea who you are." She frowned while Zoe stared back, crossing her arms. "I'm Becky. I read all about you guys. And I've even written a few," she giggled, Zoe muttered Wincest shipper while shaking her head, and composed herself, "Anyway, Mr. Edlund told me where you were."
"Chuck?" Dean asked standing up.
"He's got a message, but he's being watched. Angels," she looked up happily, "Nice change-up to the mythology, by the way. The demon stuff was getting kind of old."
"Get to the point, Wincest," Zoe said beginning to lose her patience.
"Excuse me, but I don't think I was talking to you," Becky said turning to Zoe, "I mean. Who even are you?"
"None of your business," Zoe snapped.
"Hey, hey," Sam said getting between them, "Calm down. What was Chuck's message?"
Becky shot Zoe a glare and turned to Sam, "He had a vision: The Michael sword is on earth. The angels lost it."
"The Michael sword?" Dean asked.
"Becky, does he know where it is?" Sam asked.
"In a castle, on a hill made of forty-two dogs," Becky answered.
Dean frowned, "Forty-two dogs?"
Sam was equally confused, "are...you sure you got that right?"
"It doesn't make sense, but that's what he said," Becky said stepping closer to Sam and placing her hand on his shoulder, "I memorized every word. For you."
"Um, Becky, c—uh, can you...quit touching me?" Sam asked becoming extremely uncomfortable.
Zoe came to his rescue, "Alright Wincest, stop harassing my favorite character. Shoo, your work here is done."
Becky glared, but left. Sam silently thanked Zoe who grinned proudly.
"I was kinda hoping I wouldn't get to meet her," she said, "Becky's….interesting."
"You don't say," Sam said glancing back at the door.

When Bobby arrived, Zoe was ready. The boys opened the door for him, but the demon never got past a foot from the door. A demon trap had been placed on the ceiling, and the demon couldn't escape.
"This is impossible," the demon growled, "There is no way you could have known."
Zoe smiled, proud of herself, "Buddy. Can I just say that you have a face not even a mother could love."
"Fuck you," the demon spat.
.
"What do you mean he's a demon?" Sam asked.
"Trust me on this," Zoe said, "Meg manages to get a demon in Bobby in order to find out where the Michael sword is. I am breaking story canon by telling you this, but it'll hopefully help in the longrun."
"Hopefully?" Dean asked as he spray painted the trap, "Isn't messing with timelines like against the rules of everything?"
"Trust me," Zoe said, "In the show, Bobby stabs himself to kill the demon and the angels threaten to take away his ability to walk. Bobby later regains the ability after he sells his soul to Crowley."
"Bobby would never-"
"The Apocalypse changes people."
.
.
.
"Ya know," Zoe said, "I always figured demons were clever. But in reality, y'all are nothing more than grunts that do whatever a bigger and badder demon says."
"Bitch."
Zoe pressed play on her phone. At first the demon was confused, but as soon as the first lines of the exorcism started, he dropped to the floor in agony. Sam and Dean both tossed holy water.
The demon left Bobby before it burned into the ground. Sam and Dean both rushed to Bobby's side and helped him up.
"Thanks kid," Bobby said to Zoe. "Mind telling me what happened?"
"It's a long story."
.
.
When Zoe finished, Bobby wasted no time in getting to work and try to decipher Chuck's message. First they tried to figure out what the sword of Michael was, and despite pressuring her, the boys couldn't get any information from Zoe.
"You think we're talking about the actual sword from the actual archangel?" Dean asked.
"You better friggin' hope so," Bobby said as he opened a book and flipped to a page with a painting of Michael, "That's Michael. Toughest son of a bitch they got."
"You kidding me? Tough?" Dean asked, "That guy looks like Cate Blanchett."
"Well, I wouldn't want to meet him in a dark alley, believe me. He commands the heavenly host. During the last big dust-up upstairs, he's the one who booted Lucifer's ass to the basement. Did it with that sword. So if we can find it..."
"We can kick the devil's ass all over again," Sam finished, "All right. So, where do we start?"
"Divvy up and start reading," Bobby said waving a hand towards the books, "try and make sense of Chuck's nonsense."
Sam got a book, and stared at it, lost in thought. Bobby frowned.
"Kid?" he asked, snapping Sam out of it, "You all right?"
"No, actually," Sam confessed turning to him, "Bobby, this is all my fault. I'm sorry."
"Sam..." Dean started but Sam cut him off.
"Lilith did not break the final seal. Lilith was the final seal."
"Sam, stop it."
"I killed her, and I set Lucifer free."
Bobby didn't say anything for a while. Zoe watched in silence. It seemed that she had once again been demoted to background character. Oh well.
"It's okay, son," Bobby said, "I know ya didn't mean to."
Sam looked at Bobby in surprise. Bobby stood and enveloped Sam into a tight hug. Sam didn't protest and returned the hug, though tighter.
It was then that Zoe remembered a small little tidbit. Plot had been moving slowly, especially after the earlier demon fiasco. At least Bobby will still be able to walk.
"Castle storage."
Everyone turned to Zoe in confusion. She looked at Dean, "Doesn't your dad have a place, or bunch of places, where he keeps his stuff? One of them is called castle storage. I can't believe I just remembered the name of it."
"And you remembered this how?" Bobby asked.
"Demon was supposed to bring up some crap about John Winchester being right and Dean remembering about castle storage."
Dean rummaged through his wallet and pulled out a business card, "I don't believe it. The kid is right. Castle storage. 42 Rover hill."
"Castle on a hill of 42 dogs," Bobby said.
"You think Dad had the Michael sword all this time?" Sam asked.
"One way to find out." Dean said.
Zoe wondered if she should tell them about another important piece of information. Of course, it would ruin the moment for Castiel's dramatic appearance. She just hoped the boys didn't hold it against her.
