"Home?" Sam frowned.
"Home?" Dean repeated.
"Home." Michael says.
"You wanna go back to that place?" Sam says.
"Yes." Kaia nodded.
"Why?" Sam asks "Why do you wanna go back?"
"I came here to escape a life of running from monsters. But here, it's no different, not for me. The other Michael's monsters haven't stopped hunting me. At least over there, I understood things. The world, my place in it. The magic I used to get here, magic from my home it doesn't work here."
"You are stuck." Michael says.
Again Kaia nods.
"Yes." Kaia looks at the spear. "I would give up my spear for it." She shakes her head. "I don't belong here. I just wanna go back."
"I can help you." Michael says.
Kaia scoffs.
"How can I trust you?"
"You can." He ensured her. "You want to go back so be it. But..." He increases his grip around the spear. "Can I trust you?"
Kaia looks at him with a small smile.
You have people you feel bound to protect, to save." She says. "Well so do I."
"That's why I felt regret from you." Michael says.
"I left them behind." Kaia admits "To come here. I didn't just come here for myself, I wanted to see if this was a better world for them. It's not. Its worse. My loved ones should not have to go through it."
It's not so much about feeling belonged, you want to go home to your loved ones." Michael says.
"That spear is what kept us all alive." Kaia says.
"That's why its important to you." Sam says.
"Yes." Kaia nodded "Me and that spear, we been through a lot together."
Jody becomes puzzled.
"I still don't understand. Kaia...Claire."
"That's another story." Kaia says. " Claire destroying my bond with your Kaia, that's true. That's not to do with my people. It was a personal struggle of mine. I have no desire to kill the blonde now. All I want is to go back."
Michael smiles at her.
"We can do that. My other me will never go after you again"
The archangel sees hope in the girl's eyes.
"The boy. The special boy. The one that used Kaia to open up the door? He can do it again, for me." Kaia says.
"You mean Jack?" Sam says.
"Yes. The boy with powers. Him." Kaia answers. "Can he do it again?"
"No." Sam answers. "Jack...um...he just can't...not anymore."
Hope fades from the girl's eyes.
"Oh." She frowns "Then how can you help me?"
"There is a spell." Michael explains. "That opens rifts to other worlds. We can use the spell to send you to your world."
"Really?" Kaia says with disbelief.
"I'm one of the key ingredients." Michael says. "You want to take my offer?"
Kaia looks at her beloved weapon again. It will be tough going back without it. She is a survivor she will find other ways to defend herself and her loved ones.
The dream walker nods.
"Yes."
Michael smiles.
"Good. Now the ingredients are somewhere safe. Sam..." He looks at the hunter. Sam flinched every time the archangel looked at him. The sense of calm coming from Michael freaked Sam out. "Sam." Michael repeats.
"Uh yeah. We can take her with us in the car."
"Sam I can..."
"I'm good."
No way I'm doing fast travel with him Sam thought.
Michael nods in understanding. Sam was not ready. The trust wasn't there yet.
"So that's it." Dean says "You are gonna just bring her back to the bunker."
"I'm giving the girl what she wants."
"I don't trust her."
"I don't trust as well but I'm more interested in the spear staying in our custody. We got an advantage.
"Hang on." Jody folds her arms "You are gonna send her back. Just like that?"
"Yes." Michael answers.
"Um...hello remember what happened last time when you guys went jumping universes me and the girls had to come and save your ass."
"We are taking precautions." Michael says.
"And she..." Jody gestures to the girl "You are gonna let her go."
"Yes. Is that a problem?"
"No its just..." Jody sighs "Claire has been looking for her since the day Kaia died and if I tell Claire that Kaia's killer is back home, she ain't gonna take the news well. Hell Claire would try to get to her world. She won't stop until she has her revenge."
"Killing her is not gonna bring Kaia back." Sam says.
"I know. I do tell her but...Claire won't stop blaming herself."
It was her fault. Kaia thought but she remained silent as she saw the stress on the Sheriff's face.
"I don't know what to do." Jody says.
"You need assistance?" Michael asks.
Jody scoffs.
"Oh yeah you stroll in and say I'm the archangel Michael and I command you to stop hunting this girl."
Sam looks at Jody eye wide. Michael didn't look offended. Instead he smiled.
"Funny. Very funny." He says starting to understand the sass and humor from Dean's memories.
"Seriously what the hell can you do?" Jody frowned.
"Support you."Michael answers "I know how it feels to want someone dead so badly."
"You talking about Lucifer." Jody says. Michael frowns. Jody shrugs "It was obvious. Everyone knows you and him wanted to tear each other part."
"Yes but after I killed him, I thought I would be relieved because I finally obeyed a long term order but..." He frowns "I felt...sad. I loved my brother. Actually I still love him. I had to kill him to save the world."
"Your point is?"
"Killing him didn't make me feel any better. Claire killing the other world Kaia, it won't make a difference Claire will still blame herself. The pain, the grief, it doesn't go away. Claire has to forgive herself and move on."
"I know." Jody says "But she is so stubborn she doesn't listen. I told you that girl has been through a lot of pain and grief. She couldn't do nothing when Castiel took her father and when her mother died. For Kaia she feels like she can do something."
"She's gonna get herself hurt." Sam says.
Michael again gives a guilty expression when Claire's past gets mentioned.
"Let me make this right for you." Michael says "At least let me try. I was the one who ruined her life, I put her on a path full of pain and upset. Let me put her on a different path. Please I want to try."
Jody looks at the green eyes that stared at her. Begging her. The Sheriff looks at Sam who was speechless by the archangel's words.
"I uh..."
Jody didn't know what to do. She barely knew Michael. If Dean trusted him maybe he could help.
Jody's thoughts get interrupted by a sudden bang from the door.
"What was that?" Sam asks.
There was growls outside followed by another bang that shook the cabin.
"Its them." Kaia answers. "Its Michael's monsters."
