Sean left the room, anything to get away from that demon. Crowley was infuriating and kept asking questions about Syd, which put Sean on edge. Why was that demon so curious about Syd if he was on their side? Even Sam had seemed hesitant to let the demon help them. The sound of talking came from the library as he got closer; Sean had figured that he could hide out there until someone needed him. Syd was talking to Cas, and Sean felt his heart lurch as he stopped walking closer.

Syd had turned down his offer to take her to Avalon, pretty brutally in his opinion, but as Sean had given it more thought, he'd realized that he really hadn't done much to gain her trust. Their first meeting certainly hadn't been under friendly circumstances. Sean had bewitched one of her friends for his own amusement and had tried to do the same to Syd. She had rewarded him with a fistful of salt for his efforts, but that didn't really make them even, especially since Syd had helped him save his mother. Finding his mother bleeding out on her bedroom floor had been a huge blow. Sean doubted that he would have snapped out of his shock in time to save his mother had Syd not been there.

His act of breaking the mirror had saved the soul of a human girl, but it had also doomed Syd to Lucifer's whims. If Sean could find a way to put it back together, Syd might be able to get away from Lucifer at least in her dreams. Sean still couldn't believe that Lucifer might be his rival for Syd's affections. Now Sean was even more determined to find a way to fix the mirror. It likely wouldn't stop Lucifer from hunting her down, but it might buy enough time for the Winchesters to find a way to seal him away. Then Sean would only have Cas to worry about, and Sean wasn't entirely sure how Cas felt about her.

"Cas!" Dean's voice resounded through the hallway as he came barreling towards the library.

"Yes, Dean?" Cas asked with a worried look.

"Ranger Dan… is out," Dean said, trying to gain some air. "Sam got trapped in the dungeon. I can't get him out, or Dan might escape. The lockdown closes off both the exits and access to the dungeon."

"I'll stay with Syd. We can barricade ourselves in her room until you guys find him," Sean volunteered.

"Okay, but don't come out until Sam calls you. He can't come out until we take the bunker out of lockdown," Dean told them.

"Aye, aye, Captain," Syd replied, but her face looked worried.

Sean glanced at Cas to see him staring at Sean with slight suspicion, but he seemed to regard the ranger as the bigger threat. Cas and Dean split up to get Crowley and find Daniel as Sean and Syd walked quickly towards the hallway. Sean snuck a peek at Syd. She looked worried, and he briefly though about holding her hand but dismissed the thought. He could really only handle the one rejection of today.

Syd pulled out in front of him as they neared her room, and Sean checked behind them to make sure they weren't being followed. Suddenly one of the empty room doors flew open, and Sean felt something hit him as he was thrown back into the wall. Cuffs were clasped around his wrists before he could stand. Sean gasped in pain as they manacles stung his arms; they were made of iron.

Syd took a step back but stood her ground. Her eyes searched for a weapon, and she braced herself.

"Just give me what Lucifer wants, and I'll free your friend here," Daniel said and held up the key.

"Don't you think I would if I could?!" Syd snapped back furiously.

Sean gathered himself and slammed into Daniel, but he was too weak to do much damage. Daniel quickly regained his balance and slammed him back onto the floor. Sean looked up to see Daniel hovering over him as though deciding Sean's fate. Suddenly Daniel flew back like he was hit by a gust of wind. Sean had felt the magic and looked at Syd to see her with her hand outstretched and eyes wide open. Clearly she hadn't known that she could do that either.

Quickly scooping up the key that Daniel had dropped, Sean got up and ran towards Syd. She still seemed to be in shock, so Sean grabbed her hand and pulled her behind him as he ran for her room. They barely looked the door before they heard someone slam into it. Luckily the bunker doors were firm and didn't even budge under the weight. Sean used the key on his restraints and sighed in relief as they slid off.

Now able to use a little magic, he moved a dresser in front of the door. They could hear Daniel pleading with them from outside the door. As he must have realized that they were out of his grasp, Daniel muttered a short curse. Sean saw that Syd had regained some of her composure and had pulled out her phone to text someone. The chains had taken a lot out of Sean. He collapsed on the floor on by Syd's bed and struggled to catch his breath.

"Are you alright, Sean?" Syd asked, getting on her knees beside him. "Oh, ouch!"

His wrists had turned a bright red from contact with the consecrated iron chains. It wasn't as painful as Sean expected it to be, but he figured that had something to do with all of the testosterone still coursing through him. Syd stood up quickly, surprising him, and ran to her nightstand. She came back with an aloe vera ointment.

"Will this help any?" Syd asked with worried eyes.

"Yeah, thanks," Sean said with a smile. Sean hoped that they could catch Daniel before he caused any more trouble, and Sean hoped that sadist Crowley would be the one to catch him.
