Dean woke up to one big blur. He can see a mixture of colors moving around but he couldn't recognize what it was. He catches the familiar long shaggy hair of his brother throwing punches. Dean didn't recognize the other guy. He was smaller compared to Sam but seemed just as tough.

This must be a hunt. Dean must have got knocked out while Sam was having all the fun.

Not fair. He pouted.

But wait hang on!

Did fire just come out of Sam's hands?

Fire blew out towards the other guy causing him to stumble back. Sam's eyes blazed red and anger flashed across his face. Dean's eyes widen at the sight.

"Sammy!" He yelled.

He then held his breath when he heard his voice. Then something clicked and the memories from earlier start to pour in.

Lucifer!

"Lucifer!"

Dean tried to move but found himself locked into place. Panic rose inside him. Even though Dean is cursed and hurt he still had to protect Sam. He couldn't sit back and let the Devil ride in his brother's body.

"Dean."

Dean's wide eyes turn towards the familiar voice.

"Mom?"

Mary smiles.

"I'm here baby."

Mary was updated by the witch that her son's memories are back. She was scared and grief took over. She lost her little boy again and part of her grieved because of it. She was also scared because she feared if he remembers what Bobby did, what she did by taking him away from his own brother and lying to him she feared he will hate her because of it. Her and Dean have fallen out so many times in the past. She didn't want to argue with him again not like this.

She looks at his face. He is still in the form of a child but Mary can see the years of loss, hurt and battle through his eyes. The innocence was gone.

The huntress is so lost in her thoughts she didn't realize she started unwrapping the chains and scooping her oldest in her arms.

"Mom!" He swings his legs and fidgets in her arms. "Put me down!"

"I'm getting you out of here." She replied her voice full of determination.

"Can't leave Sammy."

"Staying here is not going to help him either."

"Lucifer has Sam." Despite the change in age Mary can still see the familiar anger in his green eyes. "I'm not going anywhere until I get him back."

"You are vulnerable now."

Dean stiffened by those words. If there is one thing he hates being called its vulnerable. Mary frowned. She knew she hurt him but he had to open his eyes and see he was the weakest player here and the biggest liability.

"I'm sorry Dean." Mary pulls him close. "I nearly lost you once I can't lose you again."

The image of Dean's lifeless body on the bed caused her to wince.

Dean's eyes lower. He looks at his little body in disgust. His mom is right he is vulnerable he can't help Sam like this.

"We have a plan." Mary quickly assured him. "We will get Sam back. Michael just needs to weakened Lucifer then..."

"Michael!" Dean's eyes widen. He looks at the other guy. "That's...That's Michael?"

"He's not possessing you anymore."

Dean looked far from relieved. He instead felt angry. The anger is directed at himself. He failed to keep Michael locked away. He should have stuck to his plan and took the trip into the ocean.

Now that monster is out and hurting his brother.

Dean thought about what his mom said. His eyes widen.

"You're working with Michael?"

"Dean, we need him." His mom explained.

Dean shakes his head. Michael is not pulling that move again. The archangel is only helping because Lucifer is alive. If Lucifer loses and Michael wins, Michael will turn on them and take off just like the first time.

He could go back into Dean once the curse wears off.

"He's not doing it again. " Dean says. "He hurt us." He hurt me. "He is not going to hurt Sam. I won't let him. "

"Dean you don't understand..."

Dean managed to wiggle out his mom's arms and lands on the ground. Mary can see tears forming in the corner of his eyes.

"You betrayed me." His wet eyes look up at her. "Again. You first worked with the British Men of the Letters who hurt Sammy and now you are working with the archangel who took my body for a damm ride and killed people innocent people with my bare hands."

"Dean."

"NO! "

He turns to run but she grabs his arm and glares at him.

"Don't you dare raise your voice to me young man!"

Mary immediately regretted those words when his face goes from anger to shock. She kicked herself forgetting that this is not her boy Dean is a man now. However that motherly part of her refused to go. She didn't know if it was the grief of losing her boy or it's turned into a habit now to treat Dean as a kid.

Her hand slips off Dean's arm.

Before Mary could react, Dean turns and runs off.


When Patrick's eyes turned blue Rowena thought she was seeing things. No surely it couldn't be him it couldn't be Michael. As Patrick and Lucifer walked towards each other Rowena can tell just by looking at Patrick's body language that it's not him. His walking, his voice, his facial expressions everything about him was different. It was weird seeing Michael possessing Dean but this is worst. The archangel is now wearing the face of the man she's grown attached to.

Patrick what the bloody Hell did you do? Rowena thought with worry.

For one Rowena thought Michael couldn't leave Dean. Patrick must have performed a spell that somehow set Michael free. However Patrick letting Michael possess him, Rowena thought that was a step too far.

The witches have witnessed Michael's change in behavior. Rowena has seen the archangel has become gentle, softer and his views on humanity is gradually changing as well. That didn't mean the change could be permanent. Once Michael is in a new body he could go back to being the big bad again.

Two, Rowena couldn't imagine Patrick just stepping back and allowing Michael to use his body. Patrick likes to have control. When he plays games he is always the one in control. Now he hands Michael the controls and let's him play the game on his behalf. This game is a life and death situation. The He-witch against the Devil Rowena thought he was crazy.

Fire blew out of Lucifer's hands which sends Michael stumbling back. Rowena held her breath as Lucifer charged at his alternative brother. A ball of light appears in Michael's hand. He throws it. Lucifer raises his hand and the ball stops. Michael's eyes widen as the Devil plays with the ball and turns it round. He grins and throws it back twice as hard. Michael dodges and hears the blast leaving a big hole in the wall.

The archangel lands on his side. His eyes meet Rowena's. Boy did it feel wrong to Rowena. Those eyes, Patrick's eyes looking straight at her. It wasn't Patrick it was Michael. She can see just by looking in those eyes that the familiar spark and mischief was not there. It was painful to see.

The staring contest is cut off when Lucifer grabs Michael by the leg and drags him away. Rowena stands up and slams her arms in the wall. It was a stupid thing to do but she was desperate to get these cuffs off.

"Hey."

Rowena turns and faces Cas. The angel raises a key and puts it in her cuffs. She hears the click then the cuffs slide off.

"How did you get the key?" She asks.

Cas's eyes go on his older brothers.

"Michael." He replied .

Rowena looks at the archangel who punched Lucifer in the gut followed by a swing to a jaw. Lucifer spits out blood and glares at his alternative brother. Michael smirked at his little victory but that smirk was soon wiped off when Lucifer swept in and lifts Michael off his feet and starts to beat the Hell out of him.

"Help us trap Lucifer." Another voice says.

Rowena looks over and notices Jack standing behind the angel. Cas obviously set him free while the archangels were busy trying to kill each other.

"Please. " Jack begged.

That was a demand that the witch couldn't turn down. As she helps the angel and the former nephilim, she notices tension between Mary and Dean. Mary's hand on Dean's arm said it all. Then she saw Mary letting go and the next thing Rowena saw was Dean running.

Towards the fight.


It was supposed to be a simple fight. Michael had fought Lucifer many times this should be a piece of cake. However the previous times didn't include the Devil being in his true vessel. Lucifer is stronger Michael can see that the Devil has access to unlimited power now.

Michael can feel his grace and his power is gradually growing. He has been shut out from his powers for a while and Michael figured he wouldn't be at full power straight away.

The archangel felt a wall. It wasn't a surprise he experienced this in his other vessel from the other world. Patrick is not his true vessel he is not his Sword so that prevented Michael from accessing his full power. Michael is not the all mighty being his monsters once looked up to he is not as strong as he used to be however he is still the archangel Michael the first and oldest archangel in history. This fight was not ordered by God. Michael chose to do this fight. He is doing this to save the world.

The archangel Michael saves the world... yeah Michael liked that. Had a nice ring to it. Made him sound like a hero. Michael scoffed. He is a warrior of Heaven so hero would be the perfect word to describe him in this situation.

At first it was hand to hand combat this is what Michael would class as the warm up. While Lucifer was stunned for a few seconds Michael manages to grab the key from Lucifer's pocket and throws it at Cas. Relief goes through him when Cas caught the key and started making his way round the room.

Then Lucifer decided to up his game and blast fire at him.

Okay brother so we're doing this now.

Michael formed a ball and throws at it at his alternative brother. The archangel turned shocked when Lucifer caught the ball.

Was that suppose to happen? He heard Patrick's voice express concern.

"No." Michael admitted. "He's more powerful than I thought."

Michael dodged the ball and winced when he heard it blast through the wall. He lands with a loud thud. His eyes go up and stop. Rowena is facing him. Her expression is worried. Michael stared at her with a guilty expression. He knew she loved Patrick and it must be hard for her to see the man she loved being possessed by the same being who took Dean Winchester away from them.

Michael can feel Patrick's worry echoing through him. The archangel wanted to reach out and grab Rowena. Protect her. Patrick wanted to protect her and the feeling of being protective is overpowering Michael.

Then Michael felt someone touch his leg. His eyes widen as he gets dragged across the ground and forced back into the battle.

"We're not done yet." Lucifer growled.

Lucifer swings his fist. Michael blocks it and punches Lucifer in the gut followed by a swing to the jaw.

Michael smirks when Lucifer spat out blood.

In your face. Michael thought.

The archangel is suddenly swept off the ground and receives punch after punch after punch. Lucifer looks down at his alternative brother.

"You're pathetic."

Punch

"Weak."

Punch

"You're nothing compared to me."

Punch

The witch's form slumped in the archangel's grip. Lucifer scoffed at his opponent.

"You're out of touch brother." He laughed. "I guess being a child did that to you. We gotta go back to basics. Crawl, walk. I can teach ya if you want." Lucifer puts his brother down. "Walk for me." Michael glares at him. "Let me give you a head start."

The Devil kicks and causes Michael to fall over. Lucifer turns his brother over and pins him down.

"Seems you are a bit more backward than we thought." He smirked. "Even an actual kid can do better than you. I'm sure big, strong brother can take care off that."

A pack of cards gets stuffed in the Devil's mouth. Lucifer drops the blade and looks down at the cards.

"Uh you talk too much." Patrick sighed.

The witch kicks the Devil in the neck. Lucifer choked and falls on the ground.

Patrick stands up and picks up the blade. He looks down at the fallen cards and nods.

"Straight not bad." He bends down so he was eye level with the other archangel. "But..." He holds up his cards. "Flush."

Lucifer certainty received a flush. A blast of water shoots out of the witch's hand and splashes Lucifer in the face.

The Devil slides back on his ass and crashes into a pillar. His face is blank and water drips down from his soaked hair. He cranes his neck up and frowns at the Irish witch.

"That's not funny."

"You used fire earlier so I thought I'll use water. Elements of nature." He smirked.

Lucifer laughs.

"Aww little witch. Did my brother back off." He looks through the witch into Michael's true form. "Coward." He spat out.

Lucifer then yelped when the blade is driven into his shoulder.

Patrick shakes his head.

"Like I said talk too much."

He removes the blade.

Lucifer groans and looks at the blood pouring from his wound. Patrick turns and gives the crowd a thumbs up. Rowena mimes "You crazy bastard" to him which only made him laugh.

"I know I'm brilliant Ro." He replied.

"Stop showing me up." Michael warned but Patrick heard the slight tease in his voice.

You want to go all in. Patrick teased back.

"Continue the game? Sure."

Then a flash of blue goes across the witch's eyes. His posture straightened and the humor fades from his face.

As Lucifer stands up, Dean runs in between the archangels.

"STOP!"

Dean turns and glares at Michael.

"Stay the Hell away from my brother."

Michael turns towards the others.

What happened to getting Dean out of here?

Michael sighs. Mary has messed up yet again.

Dean's expression goes from anger to surprise. He eyes Michael's new vessel up and down.

"Hey I know him." He points. "The He-witch. Patrick right?" The anger returns. The hunter folds his arms and glares. "So this is what you are doing now huh? Jumping into witches."

"You will be surprised by the amount of knowledge they hold. They can be very useful." Michael looks down at his former vessel. "Hello Dean it's nice to see you back but I really can't talk right now because as you can see I am in the middle of a family discussion. Things are certainly heating up."

"It kinda already did." Lucifer replied remembering the fire from earlier.

"Dean be a good boy and go with your mother."

"You think I'm gonna take orders from you."

Michael sighs.

"No."

"Dean." Cas yelled.

"I'm not going anywhere Cas." Dean growled.

He takes a step forward and looks at Michael. Dean is tired of running, drowning, suffering. He has lived with a damm migraine because of this bastard. So no, no more. Dean thought enough is enough it's time he stood up to his abuser.

"I said yes to you." Dean says. "You broke the deal and took control."

"Dean don't go there."

"You shut the Hell up. It's my turn to talk. "

"Dean now is really not a good time if you do not move out of the way I will..."

"Hurt me. Sure go ahead I already drowned I already been shoved in a dream I even been a damm cage so go on do your worst. But you lay a hand on Sam. " His face darkens "I will kill you myself. "

Lucifer snorted while Michael pinched the bridge of his nose. Dean blushes with embarrassment. A threat from a kid is not going to scare the archangel.

"Wow what a speech kiddo." Lucifer says. "Very scary I'm sure Michael is terrified."

Patrick noticed Lucifer slowly reaching out towards the hunter. The witch takes control and chants. Lucifer froze. Patrick grits his teeth as he tried to keep Lucifer still.

"Someone get the kid out of here." He groaned. "Now."

Jack runs out and scoops Dean up in his arms.

"Trap...Trap him now." Patrick yelled.

But the Devil already started to show movement. He breaks through and slams into the witch. Patrick flies across the room.

Patrick stops halfway and hovers in mid-air. He looks down at his legs dangling in the air.

"Oh..." He laughed nervously. "Well would you look at that I'm flying." He grins. "I don't even need a broom."

"PATRICK!" Everyone yelled.

Patrick rolls his eyes.

"Okay back to the mission."

He focuses on the Devil. Patrick allows Michael to take control because he is more experienced in the flying than he is. Michael knew how to perform the perfect dive. One that could send his alternative brother straight on his ass. Once Lucifer is down on the ground with Michael pinning him down Cas can trap them with holy oil.

The archangel flies up towards the ceiling. He looks down and flaps his wings. His expression goes smug.

"The wee one can fly." Rowena smiled. Cas frowns at her. Rowena frowns back. "My baby has grown up let me have this moment. "

"Umm okay."

Michael goes forward and dives. He dives head first going as fast as a bullet.

Lucifer panics. He knew this move Michael is about to pull off. Lucifer hated this move. It's one of Michael's special moves. The Devil quickly raises his hand.

Jack suddenly flies and lands in his dad's arms. The former nephilim held on to Dean tight as Lucifer caught him.

Seconds away from touching the ground, Michael's eyes widen as Lucifer caught Jack and Dean. The Devil's eyes glow red and Michael heard the flap of his alternative brother's wings.

Oh no you don't.

Michael reaches out like a predator catching its prey. When he made contact, he vanished.

All four of them vanished.


Where are the two sets of brothers? Where are Patrick and Jack? You will find out in the next chapter. :)
