The story takes place right after the season 10 finale, after Dean killed Death, the Mark of Cain was removed and Darkness was released into the world. I mentioned before, new characters will be added and thrown in the story and I will bring back several former characters from the show in the upcoming future.
Chapter 85 The Morning After
Adam couldn't believe his eyes or ears when he woke up that morning. Since Dean and Sam left again for their latest case leaving him once again stuck in the bunker all alone, Adam did what he usually did. Practice his shooting at the shooting range, watched some of Dean's porn DVDs and listened to his CD or cassette tapes on the walkman or read a lot of their books on legends and lore or surf the internet. Just to get out of the bunker, he would sometimes leave the place and with his gun and flashlight and shoot some cans for more practice. The first thing he is going to do when they get back is tell him about the nearby gym that he wants to go to and workout plus wanting to get his own car or motorcycle although he is leaning toward the cycle instead.
He talked to Darcy on his iphone to pass the time, calling her on her lunch break and he even managed to head out to her place after her shift taking two buses in order get to her place since he couldn't ask her to come down there to the bunker and it took would take him a while to get there but it was worth it. He hated lying to her about having to sell his car and that his brothers' car is in the shop to explain why he couldn't just drive down there but he didn't know what else he could tell her as he couldn't tell her the truth. Darcy accepted his explanation and didn't seem to care as she liked him anyway and he liked her. He loved hearing the sound of her voice or seeing her again and when they did, he used the extra cash that his brothers gave him to take her out to a movie or bar or just hang out in her apartment listening to his brother's cassettes that he brought with him as they shared the same interest in music.
Darcy was not only hot but she was cool and fun to be with. He hung out with her again yesterday as they went to a movie then back at her place to have sex. She did ask about his place offering to drive down there but Adam just used the excuse that it was too soon and he wasn't looking for anything serious and she seemed to agree as she wasn't looking for anything serious either so she told him. After their sex romp, they hung out for a while until about 9:30 p.m. when he said his goodbyes to return home. Darcy offered to get him ride back but he covered claiming he already got ride home by a friend who was picking him up at that time, so he just kissed her and promised to call her again and was out the door. Luckily, Darcy lives on the fifth floor so if she looked out her windows, she wouldn't be able to see him leave the area and walk up to the bus stop which isn't too far away as the bus arrived at quarter to ten and he rode that bus which dropped him off, then rode another bus back to the Lebanon.
Once he got back to the bunker he didn't bother turning on the TV because he was tired of hearing and seeing the same thing, chaos and destruction in the cities, blah, blah blah, instead he read a book he was finishing about lore and mythology. After an hour or so, he put the book away went to his bedroom retired for bed and slept quite well. Then the next morning, he got up early as usual ate some breakfast, he cooked some eggs, sausage and bacon drank some orange juice. Then he turned on the TV and that's when he was in for a shock. The news was on almost all the channels about the miracle of daylight finally returned. That last night there some like a hurricane that damaged tries and even some buildings and now daylight has suddenly returned after all this time just like it had suddenly disappeared.
As Adam listened to the news, he never felt any happier than he did right at that moment. "It's over really really over, they did Dean and Sam finally stopped the Darkness" Adam thought to himself. He couldn't be any more proud of his hunter brothers who managed to do what they set out to do and stopped this Darkness that was all over the world. He flipped through more channels and the news was everywhere, Darkness is gone and daylight is back. He was ready to call his brothers to tell them about the news when he heard a ring in his iphone and pulled it out of his pants pocket that he usually keeps it in at all times just in case he gets a call from his brothers and he answered it expecting it to be them only to learn it's Darcy who is calling to tell him the great news.
"Have you turned on your television yet, the news is all over the channels that daylight has returned and they're all claiming it to be a miracle" she cried.
"I know just heard right now" said Adam.
"Oh Adam it's so amazing, no more nighttime all day it daylight is back to what it used to be, although I was getting used to the dark skies I'm so thrilled things are back to normal" she said.
"Yeah, me too" said Adam.
"I still don't understand what happened I mean first there was that sort of hurricane late last night, I mean I it made minor damages hear nothing to serious, though I'm relieved you got home that night rather than stay longer and be out on the road" said Darcy.
Adam sort of swallowed as she still believed he got a ride home from friend that night. However, he must have been back in the bunker when that sort of hurricane started and didn't notice a thing safe inside the bunker.
"Well, the important thing is this is great news and I have to call my brothers and let them know since they are out of town right now" Adam replied.
"Okay, I'll get off right now got, I'm at work anyway just taking a small break but I'll talk to you later okay" she said.
"Right check you later Darcy" said Adam.
"Bye Adam, like I said before this is the best news ever" she said and hung up.
Before Adam decided to do anything else, he went and grabbed the copy of the key to the bunker that Dean and Sam had made as a spare which they left for him and then headed up the stairs and out the door and soon he was outside and what he saw was a beautiful sight. There was daylight and the sun was shining. "Oh, the sun it was so good to see the sun again" he thought. It felt warm now when before it was always a bit cool. Adam's eyes squinted as he just stared at the sky while the sun shined on his face that he had to put his hand over his forehead. This was the best thing ever now he just had to go call Dean and Sam. After standing about looking all over the sky for about five minutes, Adam quickly went back inside the bunker headed downstairs and grabbing his iphone he started dialing right away calling up Dean.
However, when he called there was nothing. So, Adam tried calling again but there was still no answer. He then called Sam but again nothing. So, he called each of them at least two more times but it didn't do any good, it was like the number was disconnected. This was worrying Adam as he didn't understand that moment Darkness is gone he can't reach his brothers, no ringing just nothing. Then he went back to his bedroom and got the piece a paper on his dresser that had Madame Bess's phone home number which Dean left for him to also be able to reach them just in case. He looked at the number and dialed it up but the phone just rang about twenty times before he finally hung up. He tried calling again but again after the repeatedly ringing there was still no answer so he finally gave up. Adam wasn't understanding any of this. "Where the hell is everybody, why aren't they picking up, just what is going on?" he thought to himself.
Adam was getting scared as he had a sudden feeling something was really wrong, that something bad happened and that it might be connected to the Darkness suddenly disappearing. All the joy he felt about Darkness vanishing was gone and only panic and worry, scared that he might lose his brothers too his only family he has left since his mother, grandmother and the father he barely knew are all gone he he'll be alone once again just when he started getting close to them and felt like he truly belonged. Adam starting thinking fast as what to do and then he remembered Castiel as Dean and Sam had instructed him to contact their angel buddy if he hadn't heard from them in a couple of days or if after a day they're still not picking up since they leave their voice mail off working their cases. He had a piece of paper with Castiel's iphone number and he found it inside his dresser and picked it up and quickly after reading it dialed the number. After a few rings, there was an answer.
"Hello Dean, Sam?" said Castiel.
"No Castiel it's me Adam" he said.
"Oh, yes Adam" said Castiel sounding not to thrilled to hear him or not thrilled that it wasn't Dean or Sam.
"Castiel, something's wrong, I've been tying to call Dean and Sam only they're not picking up and I'm getting worried" Adam told him.
There was a brief pause then Castiel responded.
"Yes, I know I'm been trying to contact them to let them know we took care of the Darkness and they don't have work the spell since it's all over but I'm not getting anything" he explained.
"A spell?" asked Adam.
"It's a long story and I don't have time to explain" replied Castiel.
"You mean Dean and Sam didn't have anything do with the lights going back on in the sky sort of speak?" Adam asked.
"No, that was taken care of by us angels with a help with some demons and Lucifer who is now back in his cage" explained Castiel.
Adam was getting getting a bit dizzy upon hearing all of this. Angels and Demons including Lucifer, the devil himself are the ones that made the Darkness disappear and daylight back in the sky again. This was indeed a story he can't wait to get the full details on but right now he only wanted focus on his brothers.
"Look, I think something is wrong, I mean I even called the home of the lady they're staying with this Madame Bess and there is no answer" said Adam.
"I know Adam, I've been there and is appears the place is completely empty" said Castiel.
This worried Adam even more as he knew for sure something happened to them.
"What, I knew it, something bad happened to them, they could be in danger" he said a panicky tone.
"Now don't you worry Adam, I am searching for them right now" Castiel told him calmly although he was worried out of his mind too.
"Too late not to worry, do you have any idea what happened to them?" asked Adam.
"I don't want to worry you even further but just trust me that I say I will find them no matter how long it takes, I'll search the entire country to locate them, and I won't stop until I do" said Castiel.
Adam just sighed a bit and was now pacing back in forth in the middle of his bedroom.
"Well, I wish that could reassure me but it doesn't" Adam told him.
"Adam, you just have to take my word on it, I swear to God himself I will not give up finding them, they're family to me too" said Castiel.
Adam stopped pacing and just stood there in the middle of the floor pausing a few seconds.
"That's what worries me just how long. You know it would be easier if I could to talk to you in person" he said.
"That can be possible right now" said Castiel and within second Adam heard Castiel voice but not on the phone but coming from outside his bedroom nearby.
Adam rushed out of his bedroom and was out in the library area where he saw Castiel standing with his iphone in his hand. Adam just walked up to him looking quite shocked.
"Castiel, I mean how I thought your wings were broken or something like that?" he asked anxiously.
"Let's say God gave me new wings" said Castiel.
"Well that's great, I think but what about Dean and Sam, how are you going to find them I mean what do you think happened to or do you have a clue where they are please tell me!" cried out Adam all at once.
"Slow down Adam, I have a hunch who is responsible for their disappearance and I'm been trying locate her" said Castiel.
"Her?" asked Adam.
"Correct" Castiel answered.
"Well who is she?" asked Adam who was getting a bit impatient with Castiel vagueness.
"I suspect a witch called Rowena is behind their disappearance" said Castiel quite calmly.
Adam just gave "wtf" look on his face.
"Rowena, who the hell is this Rowena?" he cried out anxiously.
"Like I said, she's a witch that Dean and Sam had captured in had her locked away at Madame Bess's house where they were staying in order to force her to make spell that would lead to Darkness vanishing forever" explained Castiel.
Adam just shook his head in disbelief as neither Dean and Sam told him any of these details, then again they never tell him much about their cases when they call him not and he is now realizing just how out of the dark he is about what's going on.
"Wait a minute I thought you said the angels stopped this Darkness" Adam replied.
"We did with the help from the demons and it was Lucifer himself who showed up and was truly responsible for locking the Darkness away as we decided not to wait for Dean and Sam to perform the spell afterall" Castiel explained.
"Lucifer!" cried out Adam.
Then Castiel went on unphased.
"So after Lucifer decided to bear the Mark of Cain again and Darkness was locked away, he was sent back to the cage so he is too no longer a threat on earth and when it was finally over I tried to call up Dean and Sam but couldn't get anything and I knew something was wrong and when I arrived at the house, it was empty including Rowena. My suspicion was confirmed that Rowena is behind to whatever happened to them as she had escaped before in their captivity and I am doing whatever I can to find her" Castiel finished.
Adam was just taking all of this in angels, demons, Lucifer and now some witch named Rowena may have done something to his brothers. Of course, he should be use to all of this by now knowing what his brothers do and knowing what is out there so he got over the shock in a few seconds and then just turned to Castiel again.
"Well, you're an angel why can't find her!" he cried out.
"Because in order to find her I have to know just exactly where she is, she could be anywhere by now of course she's still human and can't have gotten too far as she has to travel just like the other humans but where exactly she is I just don't know" Castiel told him.
"Why don't you ask your angel friends like Hannah to help you?" asked Adam.
"Because they are all gone, after Darkness vanished from the earth, God ordered all the angels back to heaven" said Casitel.
"How come he let you stay?" asked Adam.
"He allowed me to stay behind until I finish my work here that is what he told me" said Castiel.
"Your work here?" asked Adam.
"Yes, I don't know what exactly what he meant I will figure it all out later but right now I want to focus on locating your brothers" Castiel said.
"This is too much, the Darkness is finally gone and now so are my brothers" said Adam shaking his head anxiously still bugged out by all of this.
Castiel just turned to Adam.
"I understand Adam, as I said before Dean and Sam are like family to me and I will not stop trying to find them and get them back" said Castiel.
"That's all good Castiel but I wish there is a way to make that easier" said Adam.
Castiel just sighed and glared at Adam again.
"Well, in fact there is as I realize I may need some extra help in finding your brothers, I know just who to summon to help in this mission" said Castiel.
"Who?" cried out Adam.
"Someone who helped me before, just trust me on this although I will require your assistance on summoning him" said Castiel.
"Oh anything, I'll do anything to help find my brothers" said Adam eagerly.
Castiel then set to work straight away as he had Adam help him clear off a desk and find some chalk and then set to work drawing sigils on it as Adam just watched curiously still eager to know who is Castiel summoning, but Castiel still wouldn't tell him but just insist he wait patiently and just help do what he has to do. Adam just relented and followed his lead as he directed him to fetch some candles which Adam did. Then Castiel placed the candles in their proper place then he got Adam to find a pot and Adam fetched it, he placed it in the center. Next Castiel with Adam's help, he got the ingredients that was needed and placed them in the pot and Adam figured Castiel was planning some kind of ritual and was growing impatient as to what Castiel was doing but Castiel insisted he just wait and see. After the ingredients are all placed in the pot, Castiel lit the candles and then he threw the lit matchstick into the pot as Adam just stood by watching curiously.
Within moments, Crowley just appeared in front of them spooking Adam a bit that he slightly jumped.
"Well hello again, long time no see since we well help you kick ass to defeat Darkness, which was I believe yesterday of course" said Crowley with a gin on his face.
Castiel wasn't in the mood for sarcasm right now while Adam just looked confused.
"Crowley, I need you help again" he told him.
"Again already, I thought working together to beat the Darkness last night was enough but seems like we lowly demons are proven we are great allies to you angel folks afterall, I say I'm flattered" Crowley replied with still a smirk on his face.
"Wait who is this guy is he really a demon?" asked Adam who was still confused by all of this.
Then Crowley turned to Adam finally acknowledging him for the first time.
"Oh, you must be the newest baby Winchester Adam as they call you? Well, I'm Crowley the King of Hell please to make your acquaintance, last time I remember you were trapped with Lucifer in the cage with old Mike in your meatsuit for years until the folks upstairs sprang you and dear Lucy too. But hey, it's all good now as your lodging with your big brothers. I happen to be tight with your brothers and all so I guess that's makes us family I might say" Crowley said in a sarcastic tone.
Adam just gave a "Oh please" look at Crowley.
"You're no family of mine if you really the King of Hell" he fired back.
Crowley just smirked again in amusement.
"Oh, feisty is he reminds me of his big brother Dean already, I dear say your will fit in young fellow" Crowley responded.
Adam just turned to Castiel.
"Seriously man, you had me help you summon up that" he replied pointing at Crowley.
"Hey hey now laddie, no way to talk in the presence of company" Crowley replied sarcastically.
Castiel just turned to Adam.
"Look, he is the only one right now who could help me find your brothers" Castiel explained.
"What about Sam and Dean, I mean where are the Hardy boys anyway?" Crowley asked now looking curiously.
Castiel turned to Crowley and swallowed.
"That's the problem, I don't know where they are as they are missing and I spent last night today and trying to locate them but ended up with nothing" explained Castiel.
Crowley just looked unphased.
"So what else is new with those boys, they'll probably show up sooner or later they always do" he replied.
"You don't get it, they were at the home of a woman and her granddaughter they have encountered in the past a medium known as Madame Bess and her granddaughter Gwen. They were staying there to on a mission and when I got there, they were all gone, I mean everybody and I tried calling them but there is literally no answer from their phones and I know something has happened to them" Castiel explained.
Crowley just rolled his eyes a bit still unconcerned.
"Like I said before, they're likely turned up eventually like always, I'm sure they're fine" said Crowley.
"No, I don't believe they are fine, this is strange and I'm need your help to find them Crowley" replied Castiel getting a bit frustrated.
"Hey, not my problem there, angel buddy, I got more important things to attend to then always be dragged in the middle of the Winchesters latest adventures, Sam and Dean have been through hell and back and always end up landing straight on their feet, so I'm not worried and neither should you so if you don't mind" said Crowley.
Adam was getting annoyed by all of this.
"Come on we're wasting time, I mean why in the hell did you summon this demon or the king of hell for anyway I mean what is it to him?" asked Adam anxiously.
Crowley just smirked again, "well like I said before me and your brothers have a history together we sort of tight right now and I'm been a useful ally in the past just ask their little angel lackey here" he told Adam.
Castiel then chided in.
"It's true Crowley has helped us in certain situations in the past, let's just say he's proof of the what you humans say 'keep your enemies close' sort of a necessary evil we tolerate" he told Adam.
"Oh, now I thought we were way beyond the trust issues old buddy seeing how I've come through for you guys in the past, I say we were just getting to be old friends" said Crowley sarcastically.
"Besides, like I said before, he's the only one I can turn to right now for help Adam" Castiel explained ignoring Crowley's comments.
"Like I told you before old angel pal, I'm done being dragged into any mess they've gotten themselves into and bailing them out, find yourself another flunky mate" Crowley replied.
"What if I told you your mother is involved in all of this" said Castiel.
Crowley's eyes lit up.
"What about my mother?" he asked.
"It so happens Dean and Sam were tracking down Rowena and found her in Minnesota and had her stashed in Madame Bess's basement where they were using her to perform a spell from the Book of Damned that would have locked Darkness away again. But when I got to her place, she was missing too, I assumed she escaped and fled and I'm convinced she had something to do in their disappearance and I'm been searching for her since last night but haven't come up with anything" explained. Castiel.
Crowley smirked again.
"Is that so, well I'll be damned sort of speak" he said.
Adam still wasn't understanding anything of this.
"What so this witch Rowena is the mother of this demon the king of hell, what the heck?" he cried out.
"And now you're asking for her son for help, this is way too heavy" he continued.
"It's a long story Adam, but I'll explain all of this once I get a chance" said Castiel.
"Yeah, stay out this laddie, this is way too much your little mind to comprehend" explained.
"I know you've been wanting revenge on her for what she did to you the last time and now if you help me find her you'll have your chance" explained Castiel.
Crowley just paused for a moment thinking it over.
"I'll admit I have sent my demons out looking for her ever since she tried to have you gank me with that spell, and I have every intention on paying my bitch mother back" he said.
"Then we can work together?" asked Castiel.
Crowley paused for a moment again.
"Okay you got yourself a deal then" said Crowley.
Castiel smiled in relief but his smile faded again.
"But you have to give me your word that you'll capture her alive and not doing any thing to her until I get her to help me find Dean and Sam, then after they are brought back safe, you are free to do whatever you whatever you want with her" Castiel told him.
Crowley just gave a Cheshire grin.
"Oh Cassie, you know me better than that" he replied.
"Yes, I do Crowley, so do I have your word that you keep Rowena alive long enough for me to get Dean and Sam back?" he asked.
Crowley just nodded his head with that same grin.
"Okay deal but afterwards, her ass is mine" said Crowley.
Adam still wanted to understand more about what is going on.
"Okay now that that has been settled will somebody please clue me in!" he cried out.
"What, big brothers kept youin all in the dark there Sonny, well maybe uncle Cas will fill in the dots" said Crowley smirking.
"It's a long story Adam and quite complicated" said Castiel.
"So is my life" said Adam.
Castiel then just set about to fill Adam in about everything his brothers and his relationship with Crowley, Rowena, the Book of Damned, the Mark of Cain, the history of Darkness and just anything that he didn't know before.
