So, another chapter here. I might have made the Sins more… good than they were in the show but well, I doubt that they would be who they were in this case. If that made any sort of sense to you…

I'd appreciate some more Reviews from you guys but I also understand if you're too lazy to write them. As long as you could give me at least one per chapter? That would be awesome.

Prfh – Sorry that it took me so long with the last chapter. I honestly forgot that I already had something written up… Anyway, hope you'll like this chapter as well. As for Elena. She might be alright in the beginning but endgame won't be very Elena friendly.

Lyryenn – Then it's up to her brothers and friends to change that, right? I'm honestly looking forward to what Lucifer and the others will do to Zachariah and Uriel along with some of the unnamed Angels who hurt Ray. I really hope you'll like this chapter. It turned out a bit too sappy considering the people in it but oh well xD

Enjoy,

Nick

I more or less spent the next few months with Gabriel, only really leaving for some smaller hunts. It was nice to be around my brother again and we both made it our mission to talk as much as possible about our adventures the last few millennia.

Our lives were pretty quiet until we got word about the Wyoming Devil's Gate opening and the news that Azazel was shot with the Colt. Well, Sam and Dean were busy… The only problem was that the Gate released hundreds of demons along with who knows what else.

"Gabe," I called when I heard the door open "I'm going to check out some things in Lincoln. Not sure when I'll be back."

My brother appeared, munching on a chocolate bar "Do you have to?"

"Have? No. But I want to," I told him and got up, packing my bags with a snap of my fingers "Also I feel like I need to be there for some reason."

"Fine, but be careful," he huffed.

I grinned and ruffled his hair "We'll see. It's not like anything can kill me anyway." With my duffel bag I trudged through some light rain to my car that was parked in front of the house Gabriel owned just outside of Kansas City. If traffic was right I could arrive within three hours.

After I arrived and parked my car, I strolled through the main street. As I walked past a shoe store I bumped into a blonde woman who was pursuing another woman.

"Excuse me," the blonde called out to the brunette "I want those shoes."

The brunette frowned "What, are you crazy? No."

Blondie went off the rails and grabbed the other woman, slamming her head against the windshield of a car violently. What the…? The brunette's eye socket burst open and blood gushed out. Her body dropped to the floor while her attacker grabbed the shopping bag and walked off, unconcerned.

Half an hour later, policemen were taking forensic evidence at the murder scene and I saw someone very familiar walking towards where I was standing next to the door of the store.

"Hey, Sammy," I greeted the other Hunter.

He startled and blinked down at me "Ray? What are you doing here?"

"Gee, what do you think?" I deadpanned, raising a sarcastic eyebrow at him "So, what have you got so far? You've been here longer than me, right?"

Sam nodded and held the door open for me "Well, there was a family that died. They basically sat down and never got up…"

I frowned "So we have someone killing a woman over shoes and people dying because of laziness?" I had a hunch on what was going on but I wasn't sure how to mention it to Sam.

"Pretty much, yeah," Sam nodded and walked up to Dean, clearing his throat.

Dean rolled his eyes at the interruption "Excuse me a minute, would you?"

"Sure," the woman nodded and left the three of us.

"Dean, what are you doing?" Sam sighed in exasperation.

The older brother shrugged "I'm comforting the bereaved. What are you doing?" Then he seemed to notice me "Ray? Why are you here?"

"I'm working, Dean. Why else would I be here?" I asked. Seriously, what was it with them and questioning me?

Sam cut in "Working. Dead body, possible demon attack – that kind of stuff."

Dean started coughing pathetically "Sam, I'm sorry. It's just, I don't have much time left, and, uh…" He coughed more theatrical "Got to make every second count."

I froze "What? What do you mean? Dean?" He couldn't mean what I think he meant, did he? Please tell me that he didn't make a deal. Even though I only met the two boys not too long ago, they were already close friends of mine. Maybe I should visit them more often from now on.

"I made a deal," he told me, confirming my fears "They gave me a year."

"Why would you make a deal?" I murmured.

Sam shifted uncomfortably "I died. Another one of the yellow-eyed demon's special kids stabbed me in the back. Dean sold his soul to save my life."

I looked up at the older brother, my eyes showing admiration "I can appreciate that," I murmured "Don't get me wrong. I don't like that you sold your soul but it was for the right reason."

"Thank you."

Bobby entered, wearing a suit with his hair slicked back. I blinked at the man in shock. In all the years I have known him, he never wore a suit. At least not that I know off.

"Whoa," Dean whistled "Looking spiffy, Bobby. What were you, a G-man?"

Bobby rolled his eyes at the boy "Attorney for the DA's office. I just spoke to the suspect."

Sam perked up "Yeah? So, what do you think? Is she possessed or what?"

"Don't think so," Bobby shrugged "There's none of the usual signs – no blackouts, no loss of control. Totally lucid. Just, she really wanted those shoes." I coughed back a laugh. It sounded so ridiculous when he said that but on the other hand, it cemented my thoughts about who we're dealing "Spilled a glass of holy water on her just to be sure; Nothing."

Dean made a disbelieving face "Maybe she's just some random whack job."

"If it had been an isolated incident, maybe, but first the family, now this?" Bobby pointed out "I believe in a lot of things. Coincidence ain't one of them. Did you boys find anything around here?"

Sam shook his head "No sulfur, nothing."

"Well, maybe something," Dean smirked and nodded up to a security camera in the ceiling "See? I'm working."

We quickly gained access to the room where we could watch the security footage in peace. Sam sat down in front of the monitors while Bobby, Dean and I hovered behind him.

"Anything interesting?" Dean questioned.

Sam sighed in annoyance "I don't know yet. Might just be a guy…" On the monitor there was a redheaded man who approached the blonde from earlier "Or it might be our guy."

I leaned over the other Hunter's shoulder and snorted "That is definitely our guy and I know just who it is."

"How?" Bobby frowned.

"Well, when you think about it it's pretty obvious, right?" The looks I got were pretty much blank, so I blinked in surprise "Okay… Not so obvious." Maybe it was just so obvious to me because I knew them inside out. Heck, I created them for dad's sake "Sammy told me about the family. They died because they just sat down, right? Laziness or in this case Sloth killed them. This one is a bit different. You see, the woman wanted the shoes so much that she murdered the other woman. I would say the green-eyed monster strikes again."

"Envy," Sam murmured.

I grinned at him "Exactly. If you'll excuse me now, I have some idiots to deal with."

When I walked by, Dean stopped me with a hand "You aren't going alone. Who knows what they could do to you."

"Dean, I'm honoured that you want to protect me but this has nothing to do… Okay, it might have something to do with the fact that Sam over there was supposed to lead Azazel's army… But this is between me and them. They won't hurt me. I promise."

Bobby cut in then "There are two other Hunters here," he told me "I trust that you know what you're doing, Ray but Isaac and Tamara don't."

"I'll try to get them out if they come near. You know that I have and always will help humans as long as they deserve it," I rolled my eyes "Can I go now, please. There's still the problem of trying to find them."

"You'll come to the motel after you're done," Dean demanded.

I snorted at the young man "Who died and made you king? Why?"

"Because you owe us an explanation from – what? Four months ago? The thing with Loki."

Right… I forgot about that "Fine," I agreed "I'll see you later." With that, I left them in the shop and walked back to my car. As to finding them, I'd have to concentrate pretty much on who they were and what they were to me. If the connection hadn't dulled over the last centuries then I could find them with time.

It was getting dark when I finally uncovered the connection between us enough that I could follow it Deciding that the car would take too long, I simply flashed close to the Sins' location. A bar? How stereotypical.

I strode up to the doors, flinging them open without so much as a thought. Inside there were two humans with Wrath towering over them, black-eyed.

"Who are you?" Pride demanded, flashing his eyes at me.

I rolled my eyes at all of them "I know it's been a while since we last saw each other but you should at least remember who created you."

Gluttony gasped and fell to his knees, bowing his head "Lady Samael."

"I see that at lest one of you isn't as stupid as they look," I smirked "Wrath, let the Hunters go. Now!"

"They want to kill us," he gestured.

I shrugged "So what? Be the bigger man and move on. You have killed people and they hunt anything that kills. Are you honestly telling me that you're surprised?"

Lust walked forward and once she was within arms reach she flung herself at me "I missed you, my Lady."

I laughed and hugged her back "Now, how about we talk while those two go on their way?"

Envy came over to me and bowed his head "My Lady. They know about us. What makes you so sure that they won't come after us again?"

"Am I or am I not powerful?" I stated rhetorically. I tapped Isaac and Tamara on the forehead, making them forget what happened here and modified their memories. They now thought that they killed the demons responsible easily "There, done." As soon as we were alone, I jumped to sit on the bar's counter "So, what have I missed?"

"We thought you were dead, Sama," Greed whispered.

I took a deep breath "I'm sorry. I really am but you were drawing the attention of my siblings and my father decided that I had to leave. There was nothing I could have done… I'm really sorry that you were locked away for this long but what's done is done. All we can do now is move on."

"So you won't kill us?" Wrath blinked.

I reared back "Why would I? I would appreciate it if you could keep casualties to a minimum and maybe separate but other than that you're free to do as you please. I created you to spend your time around humans. You're their instincts. Do something good, hm?"

Lust grinned at me happily "We can still cause mayhem?"

"As long as you don't draw unwanted attention. Why not?" I laughed "It's not like I'm totally innocent in that aspect."

"Thank you, my Lady," they chorused, bowing to me again.

I groaned "Stop with the bowing already. I'm not as stuck up as most of my younger siblings and you know it. Yes, you should respect me, you'd be stupid if you didn't but that doesn't mean that I'm better than you."

"You are," Envy pointed out "You're Death's child and you deserve the respect we're giving you."

"I can't win here, can I?" I asked, a tint of amusement colouring my voice. The Seven Sins shook their heads with small grins and I threw up my hands jokingly "Fine. I see how it is." I scribbled down my phone number on a small piece of napkin "If you need anything, call that number. It was nice to see you again."

"We won't disappoint you, Lady Samael."

One last long look at my creations and I nodded sharply "See that you don't."
