Sorry I didn't post yesterday. I was busy last night. Back to hopefully a daily schedule of updates again.
Episode Twenty Eight - I Believe The Children Are Our Future
Ella had made her way to the couch almost instantly to slump down and stretch her arms above her head. "Luce, let your wings out. I wanna lay on one of them while watching this episode."
He raised an eyebrow at her after her request was given. "Really? Why?"
She rolled her eyes. "I'm sore and tired and grumpy. I hate being female sometimes. Your wings are pretty and I need pretty things right now."
He grasped what she was trying to say and winced. "Ah. Okay. Just don't muck them up, please. It's a bitch to groom on your own."
She smiled and nodded her agreement to that and watched as he pulled them out for her to see. Well, at least one thing she got right. They really are pretty. He just wished the damned things would stay gone when he cut them off, but no luck there.
Ella settled back, leaning against his right wing and wriggled around slightly to get comfortable. Thankfully she wasn't leaning on the primaries, but his underwing coverts. His secondaries were getting a bit squashed from her sitting on them, but he could live with that.
"Do you need anything else?" he asked her, as she ran a finger down one of his secondaries.
She looked up at him thoughtfully, before shaking her head. "Nope, I'm good. I took some pain killers before I came, they're beginning to kick in now. So, come on. Push play and let's watch the episode."
Nodding and with a small smile of his own, feeling good about giving Ella some peace when she was in pain, he pushed play.
He immediately cringed when the child, a child, hit on his babysitter and said he'd go to bed only if she let him touch her boobs. That is so not happening. And thankfully the girl didn't fall for it, got pissed off and told him to go to bed.
Ella giggled. "I felt that through your wings. And yeah, the kid hitting on his babysitter is gross."
He paused it to look at Ella and grimaced. "It could be worse, she could have let him touch her boobs. Way underage sex right there. Children should not be having sex. Or thinking about it at that age. How old ids he anyway? I think around ten, but I am really bad a guessing ages in humans."
She shrugged in response and he felt the shift through his wings. "I can't remember how old he is, so I have no idea."
He sighed and pushed play again, wondering how this scene was going to get one of these kids killed.
His eyebrows shot up in surprise at half her scalp being missing and some of her skull too. "Wow. That's just wrong. A dog didn't do that and no one was outside."
Ella shushed him and pointed at the screen as the title sequence played. He nodded. He was already interested in this episode. It already had him intrigued.
He grinned when Sam and Dean began scratching after the coroner said phantom itches happened when people talked about or thought about being itchy. That was a nice little follow through there, though very predictable.
He paused it once the brothers found out it was just ordinary itching powder that made poor Amber scratch her brains out. "Oh. Oh wow, this is messed up. That poor kid is likely set to go to Hell for feeling guilty over inadvertently killing his babysitter when he was just a young boy. That...that sucks. And there's not a damn thing I can do about it either. The system sucks, by the way."
It was Ella's time to wince at hearing that. "Ouch. I really didn't need to hear that Lucifer. Now I'm going to be paranoid."
He raised a brow at her again and grinned. "Anything you feel guilty about? Caused any deaths?"
"Not really and no. So, I'm safe then?"
He shrugged. "Unless you moonlight as a serial killer who gets off on killing people at nights."
She laughed at that. "Catch them by day, copy them by night. Nah, I am one more for partying than killing."
He nodded. "Then you've got nothing to worry about."
She nodded her head, and patted his feathers. She then pointed at the screen. "On."
He put the show back on.
He smiled when they found out it was likely cursed weapons from a joke store. Also that ham looked nice and he was now hungry for pig. He paused it. "You hungry? I'm hungry. Ham?"
Ella stared at him for a second before shaking her head. "Nope. I'll have some of the cheese slices if you have any left though." He untangled himself from Ella and stood up.
He nodded and stretched out the wing Ella had been lying on, before giving it a few flaps to ease out any kinks before he groomed them later on that night. He went to the fridge and got out two slices of cheese for Ella and two slices of cut ham for himself.
He flopped down on the couch, wings up so they didn't get squashed and handed his friend the cheese. "There we are. Cheese for you, ham for me and a great episode of Supernatural for the both of us."
"Amen to that," she replied, before digging into her snack, as he pushed play while munching on a bit of ham.
He paused it again at the tooth fairy part to grin. "Aww, look, apart from the size, they actually got tooth fairies right! That's nice to see. And thankfully that little girl was not falling for the trick, hah!"
Ella frowned at him and lifted an eyebrow at him. "Shush. Trying to watch. And later on there's a hunter they meet that used to be a dentist. He got his introduction into hunting due to a tooth fairy, so yeah."
He grinned at that. It was always nice to see beings everyone has heard of in the show. Especially if people think they're fake.
He pushed play again because he was seriously really liking this episode.
He grinned when the boys figured it was either a kid or a trickster with the humour of a kid. He bumped his wing against Ella and smiled widely at her. "Trickster?"
She made him sad when she shook her head. "Soon, but not now. And holy shit the implications of THAT episode are beginning to worry me. Oh shit, even worse, Hammer of the Gods..."
"Hammer of the Gods?"
"It's a later episode near the end of the series, which also involves the Trickster. He gets 2 this season technically."
He smiled widely at that, because Trickster episodes have always been his favourites. "Ooh, I look forward to them then."
She winced and shook her head. "One of them is fun, the other is not."
He frowned. How could an episode with the Trickster not be fun. "What, is it boring?"
She shook her head. "Not boring no, it's a good episode. It's just not what you would expect from a Trickster episode. Now shush. Too many later spoilers. Shut up and push play."
He shutted up and pushed the play button.
They both laughed at the masturbation joke. And Lucifer just knew Sam was going to throw away his razor and get a new one, as there was no way Dean would be using his own.
When the Winchesters found the boy, Jesse's actual birth mother and found out the boy was half demon, he winced. That poor woman went through absolute Hell her entire pregnancy, and hadn't even had sex before then. He paused it after the conversation with the mother and fluffed up the feathers on his unoccupied wing. "Well, this lady's life sucks. No wonder she's paranoid of anyone at her door. I would be too. And I'm the bloody Devil."
Ella patted his wing and sighed. "Yep, agreed."
They drifted off into silence for a minute, before he sighed and pushed play again. He had no idea what else to even think of this anymore. But he was sure Dean was right. So far, Jesse had proven himself to be a good kid, he just had powers he didn't realise he had.
He snorted and laughed when Castiel sat on the whoopee cushion, while Ella grinned at the screen by his side. He liked it when they felt the same things for the jokes or what was going on.
He paused it again when Castiel got all up in Sam's face and HE blamed Sam for the apocalypse and for choosing wrong. Never mind that he didn't even know his choice would destroy everything. "Ugh, not you too Cassie. Stop doing things to please Dean, it's bad and gross and you can do so much better. Go to Bobby for instance, he'd teach you right. Because Bobby is great."
Ella hit his shoulder. "Stop being mean to Cass. He thought Sam knew. Dean was taken to him to tell, remember?"
He thought back to the end of season 4 and realised she was right. Castiel had taken Dean to Sam so that Dean could tell Sam the truth about killing Lilith. "Wait. No one has bothered telling him?! Well, this is a mess of non communication at its worst, right here."
Ella nodded and ruffled up the feathers of his wing. He jerked it slightly out of her grasp.
She winced at him and laid down to try and not muck them up any further. "Oops, sorry. Your wings are just so shiny..."
He rolled his eyes and put them away. "And now it's a mess and I will be spending half the night trying to straighten them. Now, episode." He pushed play again, just to stop the conversation they were having.
He winced and shook his head as the mother was once again possessed by the demon who was with her before.
He laughed at the Castiel action figure standing on the ground. Serves him right for trying to destroy a life, especially one as young as Jesse. The kid did have a clean soul after all, therefore he was classed as mainly human.
The fight with the demon, which wasn't much of a fight at all really was something he found himself fascinated by. Jesse was a good kids, regardless of his demonic half. And he ran away in the end because he hated the idea of fighting so much, he would prefer to be somewhere far away from where shit was going down.
"He likely ran off to Australia to keep everyone safe from himself and to keep demons off his trail. He was a good, smart kid with a good heart. I hope we see him again, though if he doesn't want to be found, I doubt we will. That's a shame."
Ella nodded and patted his shoulder. "Yep, I agree with all you just said. And now the episode is over and I am in the mood to party. Lux?"
He grinned. "Sure, Lux sounds good."
Together they walked to the lift and waited for it to open and deposit them in his club.
A good episode, good company, even if he did end up with ruffled feathers, and a good night full of fun with a friend.
Things were beginning to look up.
He hoped the good times didn't end too soon, though he didn't hold up much hope of that with the fictional apocalypse coming on hard and fast.
Note - I loved how they actually used a Castiel action figure in the episode and it was an actual plot point. That was hilarious!
Headcanon - Jesse so ran off to Australia. I think it was Brisbane he went to, if I remember. The Gold Coast? Anyone actually remember what the poster on his wardrobe was? As an Aussie I immediately really liked the thought of him running away to one of the last countries affected by the Apocalypse. Well, the Croatoan part of it anyway.
Headcanon - Ella wants pretty and/or cute things to up her mood when it's that time of month :P
