Celebrating the Life of Asa Fox Part 2

Elvis attacked Dean with the knife, but Dean easily evaded him.

"You're kinda slow for a demon, aren't you?" Dean sassed.

"Careful, now," Jael warned. "You'll hurt my feelings, and I might lash out."

Dean easily dodged another attack. "How about you go to Hell?"

"Please," Jael scoffed. "It's a complete train wreck down there. No Lucifer, no Crowley. It's messy."

"No, I mean really. Go to Hell." Dean retorted before he started reciting an exorcism.

"An exorcism? Unh-unh. Elvis is leaving the building."

Jael snapped Elvis's neck and then smoked out of the stairs while Lorraine screamed. Dean grabbed her and helped her get away.

"Come on. Come on. Come on." He urged. "Sammy! Angie!"

Mary, Robert, Sam, and Angela found Dean and Lorraine in the living room.

"Hey." Dean greeted.

"Unca Dean!" Grace exclaimed.

"Dean," Mary's eyes widened. "We thought you were outside."

"Yeah, I got back in."

"How?" Sam frowned.

"It was a one-time deal. Won't happen again," Dean looked around at the assembled crowd. "Is this everybody?"

"Except for Elvis," Jody replied.

"Yeah, demon got him," Dean muttered.

Suddenly, the lights went out and everyone reached for flashlights and lighters, except for Dean, who pulled out the demon blade.

"Well, at least we're all prepared," Alicia commented.

"Yep." Dean nodded.

"Mm, impressive." Alicia looked down at the demon blade.

"Demon blade. Kills 'em dead."

"Nice." Max and Alicia praised simultaneously.

"We gotta light some candles," Bucky interjected.

"A devil's trap," Dean added.

Angela sprang into action and Dean was right behind her.

"On it," she said.

"Yep."

They cleared away the furniture and began lighting candles.

"All right, uh, but how are we gonna lure it inside?" Robert questioned.

"We're not," Dean replied. "We get in. Everybody's in, everybody's clean. If someone won't get in…"

"They're the demon." Mary finished.

"That's right." Dean nodded.

"Smart," she complimented her son.

Dean paused for a moment, slightly shocked. "Thanks."

~/~\~

Angela held Grace as Sam drew out the devil's trap in ashes on the floor.

"What kind of devil's trap?" Max asked.

"Standard pentagram," Sam shrugged. "Nothing fancy."

"I like a Fifth Pentacle of Mars," Max mused. "It's got more character."

Alicia rolled her eyes. "Because character is really what matters now."

~/~\~

Jody saw Mary returning to the living room and crouched down beside Sam.

"Sam…" she whispered. "This is awkward, I'm owning that. But the demon… I think it's in your mom."

Sam frowned and looked at Mary. "She looks okay to me."

"I may not know much, but I know people don't 'look' possessed," Jody muttered. "No, I saw her sneak out of the room when you started talking about the devil's trap. Where did she go? I mean, I know she's family, but, Sam…"

Dean and Angela noticed them talking quietly, and they walked toward Sam and Jody.

"What's going on?" Dean questioned.

"Jody thinks that Mom—

"No, I don't think, I know!" Jody exclaimed. "I know she's a demon."

Bucky stepped away from Mary and went for his knife.

"Hey." Mary frowned before turning to Angela's dad. "Robert—

"Kill her!" Jody yelled. "Use the knife! Kill her now!"

"Whoa, whoa, whoa. Wait," Sam frowned deeply. "Hold on a second, Jody, you… You don't sound like yourself."

"That's because she's not herself." Angela narrowed her eyes. "Are you?"

Jody's eyes flashed red and she laughed shrilly. "Can't blame a girl for tryin'."

~/~\~

Jael groaned in annoyance. "I had so hoped you'd kill your mom! Wouldn't that be a riot?"

"Yeah, super fun," Dean replied sarcastically.

"No," Sam tried to tackle Jael, who threw him across the room.

Dean tried to tackle Jael as well but was also thrown across the room.

"Anybody else?" Jael asked. "Nope? Fine."

Mary drew the angel blade and charged at Jody. She cut Jody's arm before Sam wrestled her away.

"No! Mom!"

"What are you doing?!" Mary demanded. "She's a demon. We kill demons."

"No, but she's Jody," Sam argued.

"Boring!" Jael exclaimed.

She clapped her hands and everyone fell to the ground, immobilized, and she kicked the angel blade away.

"Oh, I have heard so many stories about you Winchesters," she gushed. "And I desperately want the Lucifer thing to be true." She climbed carefully around the devil's trap to stand over Sam. "The idea that he left a meatsuit alive is just so deliciously weak." Jael stood up and looked around at the rest of the people on the floor. "As for the rest of you, I have been inside your heads. I know all about you. For example, the twins. Too frightened to tell anyone that they actually came to say goodbye to their daddy."

Lorraine looked up from the floor in shock, realizing that the twins were actually her grandchildren.

"Or the grieving mother who hated the fact that her son was a hunter so much she'd hide his gear," Jael continued. "She'd sabotage his Jeep, anything to keep him from hunting. Not that it worked. Could've tried harder. And this meatsuit you all seem to care so much about," she gestured to her face. "She actually fantasized about a life with Asa! Can you believe that? Like that worthless man—

Bucky got off the ground and snuck up behind Jael. "Shut your filthy mouth."

Jael grabbed Bucky by the neck and forced him to his knees. "And you. Bucky. Brave, brave Bucky. I was there that night. Tell these nice, stupid people what you did. Tell them what you took from me. Asa was mine."

Angela managed to get to her feet and started chanting the exorcism.

"No!" Jael threw Angela back across the room.

Dean picked up the exorcism where Angela left off, but Jael threw him through a glass door.

"Tell them!" Jael yelled at Bucky.

Max, Alicia, and Sam continued the exorcism and were pinned to the wall.

"Aah!" Bucky screamed. "I killed him! I killed him. I killed Asa."

Jael threw Bucky to the floor, but Mary and Robert completed the exorcism, sending Jael to Hell.

Angela ran over and picked up her daughter, making sure she was okay.

"Mommy," Grace sniffled, wrapping her arms around Angela's neck.

"Jody. Jody, are you okay?" Sam asked worriedly.

"That… sucked." Jody groaned.

"Bucky, what did you do?" Lorraine glared icily.

~/~\~

"Asa," Bucky's voice wavered. "He was just all—he was just always so stubborn. Look, we were in the woods. Jael, he… he was taunting him. Asa wanted to chase him, but didn't have the angel blade. I said, 'Let's go back.' He called me a coward and he shoved me, so I shoved him back and he fell. He hit his head." He explained. "I didn't mean to do it. But it was a mistake. An accident. I'm sorry. I didn't know what to do. Asa hated that damn demon so much that I just…"

"Oh, you thought people would buy that Jael killed him?" Angela scoffed in disgust. "So, you hung your best friend to cover your own ass."

"What are you gonna do to me?" Bucky swallowed nervously.

"Tell everyone, every hunter we meet," Alicia replied. "They're gonna know your name, Bucky. Know what you did."

"You like stories," Max added. "This is the story everyone's gonna tell about you. Forever."

~/~\~

Sam, Dean, Angela, and Grace came over to Mary and Robert's side.

"Mom," Dean greeted.

"Dad," Angela smiled softly.

"You guys okay?" Sam asked gently.

Billie appeared through the smoke on the other side of the pyre. "They're really not."

Sam frowned. "Billie."

"Who's…" Mary trailed off.

"She's a reaper. She's the one that got me back inside." Dean explained.

"And now you owe me one." Billie turned her gaze to Mary and Robert. "These two. These two right here."

"What?" Mary and Robert demanded.

"See, I'm a big believer in what dies, stays dead. Laws of the universe and all that, so…"

"We didn't ask to come back here," Robert argued.

"No, you didn't." Billie agreed. "And you hate it. The look in your eyes, I've seen it before. It's a dead man's look—eyes that say no matter where you go or what you do, it feels like this world doesn't fit anymore. Like you're alone."

"Well, they're not alone." Dean glared.

"Tell me I'm wrong. I'm not here to hurt either of you." Billie told the older hunters. "I'm here to offer you mercy. A one-way ticket upstairs, away from all of this."

"How would it work?" Mary asked quietly.

"Mom." Sam shook his head.

"You just kill us again?" Robert demanded.

"Reapers don't kill people. Rules."

"Well… then…" Robert looked at Mary, and then they both looked at their children. "Then I guess you're gonna have to wait."

"Hunters." Billie sneered. "If you change your mind—if any of you change your minds—you know my name," she added before disappearing.

"Does this mean you two are coming home?" Angela asked hopefully.

"Yeah." Mary nodded. "Not quite yet."

"We just need a little more time, Pumpkin," Robert added.

"Can we buy you guys breakfast at least?" Dean offered.

"Bacon?" Mary smiled.

"All the bacon," Dean promised.

"We would love that." Robert nodded.
