"Ruby murdered me. Again."
River had woken up without a scream or jerk. She'd disconnected enough to realize it was Rachel's death, not hers.
Crowley glanced at her as Dean and Vera argued in the next room. Castiel was trying to mediate. The Demon spoke to River though.
"Sorry I failed ye again Lass."
"Why are they fighting?"
"They were discussing prepping a viewing of Raziel. The thing is you and your soul may have different goals." Crowley stated warily and River realized he'd been drinking.
"To save Sam." River stated.
"Your goal is to save Sam. Raziel's goal is to make sure Sammael's soul survives the ordeal."
"The difference?"
"Raziel might not care if my brother lives or dies as long as his soul exists."
River gasped as Dean entered, saying this. Vera glares and said something River couldn't understand, but she heard the though: Have sex with the mouth of a goat.
"Vera!" Castiel exclaimed, having understood it.
Vera stuck out her tongue as River faced Dean.
"Maybe so, but you forget something." River stated.
"What's that?" Dean hissed. "I'll see him in the next life?"
"Raziel may be my soul, but I am River Tam. I control my actions. Sammael is not my priority. Sam Winchester is. I will save your brother."
"Why?" Dean glanced at her. River just smiled and laid back for a nap.
"I'll tell you after him."
