My Bloody Valentine tomorrow :P

Until then have some in the past shenanigans.

Episode Thirty Five - The Song Remains The Same

Sighing loudly, Lucifer slumped himself onto his couch and stared at the tv, as the disc booted up and began to play the intro music for Supernatural's menu page.

He stared at the numbers once he had gotten them onto the episode screen and wished that this season was like the others and had the titles up on the screen instead of having to read them from a book with, as Ella told him, spoilers galore.

"Well, what's this one called then?" he asked her.

She grinned at him. "The Song Remains the Same. Spoiler, this one introduces the show's Michael. Be warned, he is huge bag of dicks."

He winced at that. "Yeah, I don't doubt that at all."

Now he was less likely to watch this episode, but he did admit the title was interesting.

He pushed the start button and begun the episode with a sinking feeling that he didn't want to meet yet another fictional brother of his.

He laughed and pushed pause almost instantly at Dean's sexy dance dream which he had no doubt would have been a wet one in the end if Anna hadn't crashed his dream and come to talk to him there. Of course the angels couldn't find him in the waking world because of the sigils Castiel seared onto the Winchester's ribs, so dreams was the only way to meet them.

Fictional him had been dropping by to visit Sam after all.

"Huh, why hasn't Michael tried to contact Dean through dreams? It works with lesser angels, like Anna here and with fictional me too."

Ella shrugged. "I think because he prefers to let others do the work for him, and he is a traditionalist and apparently doing that would be cheating? I don't remember."

He nodded and pushed play again.

He paused it and threw his hands in the air at Anna's "Sam Winchester has to die." line.

"Well, of course he does. He's the bad guy after all, simply because he was born to be a vessel to fictional me. That doesn't make him bad for Dad's sake. Also it's already been established that killing them won't do anything, because Lucifer would just bring Sam back and Michael would bring Dean back. This plan is madness and stupid."

Ella patted his arm and nods. "Yeah. Remember she's been tortured for the past year or so. In Heaven. By bad angels."

He frowned but nodded. "True. She broke and when she did they let her go and she thinks she escaped. Just so she could go kill Sam to stop this apocalypse from happening?

Ella nodded. "Something like that, dude."

He raised an eyebrow and stared at the splash screen. "Wow," he said, before he pushed play again, because regardless of Michael being introduced properly in this episode, he was actually enjoying where this was going, since he knew there was no true danger to Sam.

He giggled at the joke where Castiel doesn't understand pop culture references. Or much of any reference really. He paused it after he calmed down. "Okay, I take it back. Killing the parents would destroy Sam But also Dean and their parents. Making the entire show obsolete, so it won't happen but I do like time travel episodes."

Ella nodded. "Yeah, so do I. Also I remember how much you enjoyed the last one. And this time, Sam gets to meet his mom."

Lucifer leaned back and sighed. "That's going to hurt. He has no memory of Mary at all, does he?"

Ella shook her head. "Not that I'm aware of, no."

He winced and pushed play again, hoping the past trip that was about to happen made him smile and not feel like crying. Also that it would happen very soon, because he was enjoying this episode so far.

He paused it again not too soon after to stare at the screen as Castiel started throwing up blood.

"Ahh, no. Cassie, what did the trip do to your vessel's insides. And your own form for that matter? He's coughing up blood."

Ella leaned against him and patted his arm. "Yep. He did warn it would be hard for him with a passenger, let alone two of them, and cut off from Heaven."

He nodded at that one. "True. I just don't like seeing him hurt like this."

"Either do I, Luce. Either do I."

He pushed play again just to see how things go.

He paused it again to stare at the utter longing on Sam's face as he just sat staring at Mary. "Oh, Sam, you're breaking my heart. And I'm the actual bloody devil. You're not supposed to break my heart."

A gentle rub to his arm followed that, as Ella nodded. "Yeah. He meets his mom for the first time and he isn't even a thought in their minds yet. It's sad."

He nodded and pushed play again. He was done seeing that look on Sam's face and wanted them to go back to the future so he no longer had to look at it.

Lucifer paused it and raised his eyebrows at John in the garage. "Wait. Anna killed the guy who owns the store, just so she could mimic his voice and get John there? What? Why did she have to kill the guy?"

Ella shook her head. "I have no idea, Lucifer. No idea at all."

He hummed at that, and frowned at the screen as Anna snuck up on John. "You know, I don't even like John, but Anna has gone way off the rails here killing innocents for no reason. What even is the plan?"

"Kill him then Mary and Sam and Dean are never born."

He nodded. "Yeah but I just remembered something pretty big. Like, say, angels can bring the dead back to life, especially if they are these family members. What does it matter? Haven't the angels been cultivating this family for centuries? Michael wouldn't allow it."

Ella snorted and bumped into him slightly. "Shut up and just watch what happens. Push play."

He rolled his eyes but did push the play button again.

He paused it again after the fight with Anna. "Wait...what? How does John know about monsters and stuff? Isn't he ignorant of it when Mary dies and that's how he actually found out about this kind of stuff? I am confused."

Rolling her eyes at him, Ella frowned. "Dude you're forgetting they can muck with people's minds. And they're angels."

He blinks and grins. "Oh, forget and they will?"

"Yep!"

He grinned wider. "Nice."

He pushed play again, actually really getting into this episode now.

He paused it again when Anna tells Uriel that the Winchesters will kill him, when it was in fact her that did. "Ha! Oh, you sneaky little thing, you. Also this must be how the Heaven of then finds out about Anna's mental break with reality. Angels want the apocalypse, does she not remember that?"

Ella shrugged. "I have no idea, my dude. But I do know that she totally doesn't care about what Heaven wants any longer and just wants to kill some humans. Obviously. She already has."

He nodded at that one. "Yep, can't argue with that. Dean Winchester though is bad for the Heavenly Plan."

She nodded back. "Yep. Push play. This is a great episode and you keep stopping it to chat."

He grinned. "Hah. I know. Okay." He pushed play again, as was requested of him.

He paused it again when Mary admitted she can't leave John so the boys were never born because she was already pregnant. The first thing he did was laugh. "Awww, apart from having the biggest dick of a father raising them as soldiers, Dean is also an arsehole because he was damaged in the womb from mother dearest fighting angels."

Ella blinked at that one. "What?"

"The fight earlier at the garage. She was slammed into a car hard by Anna and it would have hurt the baby she is carrying, which is Dean, unless she miscarried and is no longer pregnant."

She stared at him and the let out a small "Huh. I never even thought of it like that."

He nodded, grinned and pushed play again.

He paused it again at a black screen just after Michael had sent Sam and Dean back to their own time. "Wow. You're not wrong, fictional Michael is a bigger dick than real Michael. And that's saying something."

Ella patted him on the shoulder again. "Brothers, huh? Can't live with them, can't live without them and half the time you plot their deaths."

"But you never actually kill them. Unless it is self defence and the only way to stop them killing you or others. Then you kill them."

Ella rubbed his arm and leaned against him again to give him a side arm hug. "Aww, Uriel. Yeah, I remember that mess and what you did from the first time he showed up on the show. No wonder you are thinking of that now. Don't worry, Luce. I know it was self defence."

He nodded and looked down at his feet for a few seconds, before taking in a deep breath and letting it out slowly. "Let's finish this. It's almost over now..."

She nodded and let him go and leaned back in her own seat on the couch. "Yep, lets."

He pushed play, wanting to see how the brothers do now they have saved their family and know they were designed to become vessels.

He turned it off with a frown once it had finished. "Okay, I liked the part where Team Free Will was truly formed. Sam, Dean and Castiel make up the team and they are fighting with all they're worth and with all they've got. I like that. Very good. But that bit after with Mary coining the phrase Angels watch over you after the episode I just watched just...wow that hurts. A lot more than it should."

Ella rubbed his arm again and nodded. "Yep, that it does. SO! Drinks?"

He grinned and turned to her fully. "Sure. Drinking sounds good. Lux or in here?"

She frowned for a second, before shrugging. "Let's go join the throngs of humanity downstairs and try to forget about your fictional brothers and sister killing each other."

He sighed at that and nodded. "Amen to that. Lux it is!"

With that the two of them had decided on their night. He really needed a drink to wash the episode out of his mind, though he knew it wouldn't work.

He enjoyed the episode greatly, but it left him a lot to think about.

He hoped tomorrow night's episode is just as good.

Note - I am sure Michael would have resurrected or healed any damage done to Mary's still unborn baby Dean from where she was slammed into a car's bonnet by a rampaging Angel trying to kill her. Nothing but a perfect vessel for this Michael.

Headcanon - Sam learned so little about his mother here that she is still like a blank slate for him until season 12.

Headcanon - I am going to end up making these two Queerplatonic with the ways things are going. Any one for Lucifer&Ella QPP?
