SkyHighFan: Thank you for the review.

Guest: I do accept criticism but I can't just focus on Michael Dean I have to involve other characters as well. How Dean being possessed by Michael is affecting the others.

vrskaandrea: Thank you for the review.

When Michael blacked out Dean woke up and immediately gains control. He kicks Freddy in the face and gets to his feet.

"You're okay." Dirk sighed with relief.

Dean walks but a wave of emotions sends him stumbling into the wall. He can feel Michael's pain, his cries Freddy has put the archangel through the memories of the cage again. No matter how many times Michael fought against it, it will forever be a weakness against him.

The hunter looks at the patients with an anxious expression. He had to break the link between the patients and Freddy. Dean has used Michael's powers in the past but with Michael being there to support him. This time Dean is in it alone with powers that Dean still couldn't adjust to.

Without Michael Dean is the Archangel. He has taken center stage.

Dean for once felt afraid to be on a hunt. He needed Michael by his side. Michael has been on side since Dean said the three-letter word.

Michael snap out of it. Dean grits his teeth as he felt a wave of nausea hit him in the chest.

He couldn't sense Michael's presence. The archangel must be too deep into his nightmares

Michael! Dean sounded desperate.

Dirk's worry increased as he saw his 'guardian angel' going pale in the face. Freddy's grin widens and he let out a low dangerous chuckle.

Freddy swipes and claws Dean across the face. Dean winced and blood drips down his face. Dirk gasps at the three, long cuts across the hunter's face. It should heal but Dean's panicked state was causing a blockage preventing Michael's powers from coming through.

"Dude come on you can do this." Dirk says.

Dean cries out as Freddy slashes across his arm. Michael's scream pounded in his skull. It was so loud his head could have exploded.

Freddy craved the fear, the stress. It made him stronger. He could do so much more but the internal battle inside Dean's body was enough. It was amusing to watch.

"Michael God damm it it's not real." Dean spat out.

The hunter flies backwards and crashes into the empty beds. Wings curl around him hugging him, shielding him.

Dean shakes his head.

"Damm it."

Dean pushes the wings away and stands up. His stress combined with Michael's stress brought the stress levels way over the limit. Most people would be having a breakdown by now.

Dirk pushes a bed into Freddy and crushes him into the wall.

"Michael!" Dirk couldn't understand what was going on? Michael is an archangel this should be a walk in the park for him. Dean winced and moves to the next patient. His mind goes blank as he looks at the patient. "Michael!" Dean looks at Dirk. "You are an archangel do your angel stuff."

"I can't." Dean shakes his head. "Not an archangel."

Freddy giggles causing Dirk to shove the bed into him again.

"What do you mean?" Dirk frowned.

"I am but I'm not uh..." Dean clutches his head. "Its complicated...I...I don't know what to do."

"Yeah you do."

"I don't know. I can't think."

"Don't think." Dirk smiled. "Just do it."

Dean looks at the patient. The hunter never liked using powers. He always feared he would hurt someone. What if he messed up and accidentally kills the patient instead of saving them.

Don't think. Just do it."

Dirk's words echoed in Dean's head. Dean thought back in the other world he used Michael's powers to fight the angels and heal Eileen. Although Michael was there as a guide Dean just did it without thinking it was like it came naturally to him.

Dean takes a deep breath and focuses on the patient. He cleared his mind and erased the negative thoughts.

Don't think. Just do it.

Dean places his hand on the patient's head before he could change his mind. His hand glows. The patient's struggling stops and they go still. Freddy cries as another link drops.

Dean smiles. He did it.

Freddy sends the bed flying and charges at Dirk. Dirk picks up his ax and swings it at Freddy's arm. The ax gets stuck but Dirk still held on. The human and the monster spin round in circles until Dirk pulls out the ax and Freddy slams into the wall.

This little distraction gave Dean an opportunity to break two more links. Dirk goes for another swing but Freddy stops it and breaks the weapon in half. Dirk didn't back down. Dirk would have originally ran but after finding out curses and angels are real it has given him the strength he never knew he had.

Dean hears the snap of the ax. Fearing Dirk's life is in danger Dean turns and blasts at the villain. Freddy hits the ceiling and crashes face first into the floor.

"Ha ha take that Freddy." Dirk grinned.

Dean finally reaches the last patient ready to break the link. A gasp causes Dean to freeze.

Freddy had his arm around Dirk's throat. The tip of his claw against the skin.

"You do that your friend dies." Freddy says.

"Do it don't worry about me." Dirk says.

Dean stands up and raises his hands.

"Alright. Now let him go."

"Hmm." Freddy trails his razor blade fingers along the man's neck. Dirk cringed at the touch of the cold metal. Freddy shakes his head. "No."

As Freddy goes to make the move, powerful winds causes him to go sliding across the room. Dirk falls over but a hand reaches out and grabs him. Dirk looks and faces the pair of green eyes with waves of blue in them.

The flapping stop and Dean curls his wings back in. He smirked at the fallen Freddy.

"Was that your wings?" Dirk asked looking awestruck.

Dean places his hand on the final patient's head. The patient like the other ones goes still and returns to their normal breathing.

"NOOOOO!"

Freddy starts to get to his feet. The sudden loss of energy causes him to drop back down.

"Yes." Dean walks up to the iconic villain. He looks down at Freddy and smirks. "Sweet dreams Freddy."

Dean pulls the glove off. Freddy screams and slowly transforms back into the man who put the glove on.

Once the transformation was complete Dirk kneels down his expression worried.

"Stu."

He presses his fingers to Stuart's neck.

"He's alive." Dean confirms.

Dirk's shoulders slump down with relief.

"D...Dean."

Dean's smiles at the sound of the Archangel's voice. It was weak but it was him.

You missed all the fun Mikey.

"Huh? Where's Freddy? The patients?"

Freddy is gone I removed the glove and patients are fine.

"It's over." Michael had a thought. "Wait the patients, did you use my powers?"

Yeah I did.

"On your own?"

Yes and I even saved Dirk with your powers.

"Dean." Warmth came from his voice. "That is so good to hear. That is progress. Well done."

Dean beams feeling touched by the praise. He knew Michael would be happy. Remembering why the Archangel wasn't there causes Dean to frown.

Hey, you okay?

"Yes and no." Michael admits with a sigh.

"You wanna talk about it?

"I would rather not talk about it if that's okay.

Dean nods in understanding.

Sure.

I suppose they didn't need to talk about it Dean has visually seen Michael's time in the cage. Dean wanted to be there if Michael wanted to talk about it. The hunter found himself feeling protective over Michael.

Dean leans forward and places his hand on Dirk's shoulder.

"Lets get out of here."
