Jamie grabbed unto Sam, pulling herself to her feet as Michael snapped his fingers, Dean's hunting attire gone and replaced with a dark suit. Sam crumbled, Michael's power digging into his stomach. Behind her, Cas also groaned in pain. The tattoo on Jamie's wrist glowed, her husband's sigil lit up like a forcefield in her veins, protecting her. She threw herself over her twin, to keep up appearances, and help Sam grab the bottle of holy oil he had hidden. They needed to time they did not have. The bottle had to be ignited in order for it to do anything to Michael. Sam grabbed for a match only in a split second to remember that his twin had an easier way. Jamie, catching his glace, gripped the neck of the bottle. Cas forced himself back to his feet and attacked Michael in a vain attempt to distract him long enough for the twins to focus. Michael's attention diverted, Jamie's caught the oil on fire using her most dormant of abilities.
"Throw it, Jamie." Sam hissed. Jamie waved her hand and the ignited bottle hit Michael, causing him to burst into flames. Jamie threw her hands out, directing her telekinesis at Michael so that Cas could lock the angel in Enochian handcuffs while he burned. The sigils glowed on the cuffs, Jamie pulled Cas back towards her as Michael looked up in disgust.
"You think these can hold me?"
"I know they can." Jamie retorted, her eyes never leaving Michael's face.
"Dean, can you hear me? Dean, are you in there?" Sam coaxed.
Michael's head came up. Toxic sarcasm filled his voice. "Dean's not home right now. Please leave a message." The sounds of sirens suddenly filled the air. "Oh right. That. Did you forget? My monsters are out there building an army." Jack scrambled to grab their dropped weapons, including Jamie's spear. Sam's phone rang as Jamie walked over to Jack who held the spear, his gaze drifting from it to Michael.
"Jack." Jamie whispered. "Give it to me." He hesitated, but Jamie reached out and grabbed it. "Not this way." She told her nephew. "Not now."
"Okay, what's the plan?" Jamie and Jack turned back to Sam. Jack handed over the angel blade.
"Thanks. Okay, with the angel cuffs on, Michael is under control."
"Keep telling yourself that." Michael smirked.
Sam ignored him. "Get him downstairs, dump him in the trunk of the Impala. Take him back to the bunker."
Jack sighed. "But, Garth is in the trunk."
Jamie glanced at Jack and then to Michael. "It's a big trunk. Come on." She headed for Michael. Just then numerous growls came from the hall. "Monsters!" Jack warned. He rushed for the other side of the room, towards the glass doors. Jamie followed after him.
"More like the calvary. I called them." Sam and Cas turned towards the door. "It's a party." Cas raised his hand, directing his telekinesis towards the door. It held under the angel's strength, but only just.
"Sam, I don't know how long I can hold them."
"Leave them to me." Jamie's eyes flashed blue and she walked towards the door, raising her hands and holding them towards the door. "I have it, Cas."
"Okay, we have to get Dean out of here." Sam urged.
"Well we can't go this way." Cas gestured to the door.
"And it's not like any…Jamie, can you fly?" Jack tilted his head curiously.
Jamie groaned, the timing of the question and it's answers both thoroughly disappointing. "If I could, would we still be here?" She snapped.
"Well, I can." Michael snarked.
"Shut up!" Sam yelled.
"Sam, are we gonna die here?" Jack asked seriously.
"Cas, help!" Jamie groaned, trying to surge her power forward to match the increase in strength from the monsters. Cas put his hand up again towards the door. The combined strength of the psychic and the angel pushed the door back in place.
"Jessica!" Sam looked around, wheeling himself around he searched the empty room. "You said you're always here, right?"
"Sam, what are you doing?" Cas demanded.
"Billie…Death…assigned a reaper to keep an eye on Dean and me. Her name is Jessica and she is always-" Before Sam could finish his sentence the reaper, Violet, appeared behind him. At least, that's what Jamie figured since Sam started to talk to someone she could not see. Oddly enough it seemed her brothers' reaper was not her reaper, and that was beyond unsettling.
"Sam, who are you talking to?" Jack finally asked.
"You can't see her?" He asked. "Jamie?" Even his twin shook her head.
"I can." Michael replied. "You know in my world we locked Death away and enslaved the reapers."
"If I didn't have both hands full…" Jamie muttered to herself, sending another surge of telekinesis towards the door. She groaned, her strength starting to fail. Cas groaned in turn, his own power slipping. Jamie leaned into him, also giving him her shoulder to hold himself up.
"Sam, what is she saying?" Cas gasped.
"She's not saying anything." As soon as the words left Sam's mouth they were suddenly all transported to the bunker.
"What the hell?" Jamie brought her arms down, looking towards Cas and then to her twin.
"How did you do that?" Sam asked the reaper that still he could only see.
Something that sounded like "I didn't." entered Jamie's mind, now that her powers were no longer active.
Sam and Cas chained Michael to the pillar in the main room, keeping him within their sights. Jack stood by, watching, but his curiosity peaked toward his aunt, who was sitting on the stairs beside him. "You can create holy fire?" He asked.
"Yes, Jamie, please do tell the room how you do that." Michael called out. He shrugged, gesturing to his ear.
"It's a gift, from God." Cas monotoned. "To celebrate the birth of Michael's firstborn son."
Michael raised an eyebrow. "What?"
Jamie shot Cas a look, glaring at him as she got up. "At first I could only call it down, to protect my son. God gave me the power to use at will."
"Oh." Jack muttered. He looked back at Michael who seemed to be studying Jamie. "Shouldn't he be in the dungeon?"
Cas nodded. "Yeah, Jack's right, we don't know how long those cuffs are going to hold."
Jamie shook her head. "Bobby has improved them but if the cuffs won't hold him, the dungeon won't either."
"I can hear you." Michael taunted. Sam, Cas, and Jack moved across the room while Jamie moved stand closer to the Michael. "Really?" The archangel rolled his eyes looking up at Jamie. "Hello beautiful. See something you like?" Jamie smirked. "Must be tough for you, having your husband in your brother's body."
"You're nothing like my husband." She deadpanned.
He smirked and then glanced over to her brother and Cas. "Remind me Castiel, we're west of Kansas City now?"
Cas looked up in horror. "You're bringing them here?"
Michael smiled. "You think."
Cas grabbed for Jack. "Jack, let's lock it down. Jamie?" Jamie quickly turned to follow them.
"Yes, uh, put a chair against the door." Michael called after them.
"I'm going to shut him up, one way or another." Jamie muttered to Cas, grabbing the supplies they'd need to tighten the warding. "Jack." She handed him a spray paint can.
"You can't let him get under your skin." Cas insisted, helping Jamie paint several wards.
"Cas! Come here." Sam called.
"Jack, go watch Michael, I'll finish up here." Jamie jumped down a few steps towards the Nephilim and took his spray can. Jack nodded and headed down the stairs. Jamie turned back towards the warding. "I wonder…" She rolled up the sleeve of her black canvas jacket, revealing the tattoo of Michael's sigil. Using her telekinesis she moved paint into the air, shaping into the form of the sigil. She then plastered it over the doorway. "Sancte Michael archangele, defende nos." She muttered. The red paint glowed blue for a moment before fizzling out. She frowned and headed back down the stairs.
"You're a job, a job none of them wanted…" Michael looked up seeing Jamie and Cas coming in from opposite directions.
"Shut up." Jamie hissed towards Michael.
"Jack. Go help Sam." Cas directed. He grabbed unto his nephew's jacket. "Don't believe anything he says. He's lying." Jack frowned but nodded, heading towards the library. Cas looked concerned towards Jamie.
"Jack." Jamie followed after him. "Look. I wanted you to know. I'm so sorry I wasn't here before…when you were…when you were sick."
Jack frowned. "You…"
Jamie put up her hand to stop him. She looked at him with sadness in her eyes. "I haven't been here for a good portion of your life, and I'm sorry. I can't promise I'll be around more, but I can promise that I will always come when you call me. You're my nephew, Jack. You're one of the most important people in my life." He tried to look away but she caught his gaze. "And I love you, okay? We all do." She patted his shoulder. "Go help Sam." Jack hesitated for a moment and then rushed into her arms. She hugged him back.
"Jamie? Jack?" Sam's voice interrupted.
"Coming!" Jamie called as Jack pulled away. They met each other's eyes and then headed to the library where Sam was prepping the machine.
"Oh I remember this thing." Jamie said in distain as Sam and Jack carried it out into the map room. Cas carried electrodes in and sat them on the table. Jamie grabbed one set as Sam sat down across from Michael and Cas grabbed the other. Jamie attached the electrodes to her twin as Cas did the same to Michael.
"Cool science project. I give it a solid B-."
Jack looked on, unsure. Jamie caught his gaze again and gave him a reassuring smile.
"Okay, in theory I should be connected to Dean's mind." Sam explained. "Cas, you should be able to hitch a ride with me."
Michael smirked. "Oh Cas, I believe in you."
"What should I do?" Jack asked.
"Pray." Cas monotoned.
"You and I are going to watch the bunker." Jamie explained. "Make sure nobody kills them."
Michael smiled. "Well, I like this plan. See, out here, I'm all chained up. But in there…you're all mine. So, what are we waiting for?"
Jamie and Cas looked at each other as Cas grabbed into Sam's arm. Jamie nodded and Cas turned on the machine. Instantly Cas and Sam fell into a coma-like state, fortunately so did Michael. Jamie looked across the table to her oldest brother, and then moved towards him. She stood behind him and raised her hands to either side of his head.
"What are you doing?" Jack asked.
Jamie bite her lip, trying to concentrate. "I did this before, with Sam. Like Cas, because I'm psychic, I can project myself into people's minds…or I could…anyway."
Jack looked impressed. "You can? So why didn't you just do that?"
"It was years ago…long before the angels fell and I lost most of my abilities. God…Chuck…gave me most of them back when he restored the line of prophets, but…I haven't tried this one." She closed her eyes and concentrated hard on her brother.
"Jamie?" Jack asked.
Jamie opened her eyes. "They…they can't find Dean. It's all black." She closed her eyes again. "Sam!" She yelled.
Sam looked up around the blackness. "Jamie?"
Jamie opened her eyes. "All the memories, all the memories, trauma, scars…wait." She closed her eyes again. "Sam."
"Jamie? I can hear you, what is it?"
"He has Dean distracted, not drowning, because drowning didn't work."
"Cas, wait a second."
Jamie opened her eyes, breathing heavily. She looked over at Jack. "They're gonna find him." She rubbed her eyes. "In the meantime…" She looked up towards the door. "I'm gonna go call Jody and Donna, in case there is more monster activity we don't know about." She patted Jack's shoulder.
In her bedroom Jamie meditated on the cage. "The sigil is holding." She whispered. "But Michael…I don't know if I can hold him if Sam and Cas fail. I need you."
"Jamie! Jamie, Maggie's here." Jamie looked up towards the door. Just then there was a banging at the door.
"You should've locked the door."
Jamie rushed in and kicked the turned hunter in the head, knocking him to the floor. She looked up seeing the monsters enter. "Protect Sam and Cas!" She yelled at Jack. The other hunters were firing their guns to no effect. Jamie used her telekinesis to send one monster flying, but another hit her from behind. She fell forward and then turned over, kicking it in the stomach.
Jack looked around helplessly, and then saw Maggie curl up beside the wall, afraid. "No!" He yelled, putting his hand out. His Nephilim powers overtook the monsters. Jamie backed away, looking towards him in shock.
"Jack, no! Don't use…" He turned the monsters to dust. "Jack." She rushed towards him, he stumbled breathing heavily. "Jack." She said again, holding his shoulders. "You're okay, you're okay." She helped down to the ground. "Maggie, honey, can you get Jack some water?" Maggie nodded, rushing towards the kitchen. Jamie looked from Jack up towards Sam and Cas. "Hey." She shook Jack's shoulder, seeing her twin and Cas wake up. She and Jack got up and went over to them. Sam pulled the electrodes off of his head as Cas went over to Dean.
"Dean?" Dean opened his eyes and smiled at Cas, who sighed in relief.
"It's him." He confirmed to Sam, Jamie, and Jack.
"Looks like we missed a fight." Sam said, gesturing to the bodies.
Jamie sighed, looking at Jack. "Yeah. Uh…Maggie will fill you in." She looked over at Dean, helped to his feet by Cas.
"Hey uh, I'm gonna take a shower and get some sleep." Dean muttered, trying to smile at Jamie and Jack.
"I'll bring you in some food." Jamie said, nodding. Dean nodded, heading down the hall.
"Jack." Cas gestured to the Nephilim as Jamie headed to the kitchen. "So tell me, what happened?"
While Jack and Cas talk Jamie gets to work heating up some leftovers for Dean. She puts them on a plate and heads down the hall. "Dean?" She calls and then stops hearing voices in his room. "Dean." She opens his door just as Billie disappears. Dean looks up from the book she gave him in shock and horror towards his sister.
