Hours later, Jack was in his bed, sleeping. Sam was by his side with a worried look on his face. Dean comes in "How is he?" he says whispering. He too was worried about the kid.

Sam answers "He's still asleep... I wonder if we did the right thing. What if something happens to Jack?"

Dean shared his doubts, but still tried to reassure him "He wanted to help. Besides Jack will be alright. He 's a tough kid."

Sam looks up at his brother "But what if it was all for nothing? What if..."

Dean shakes his head, interrupting Sam "We don't know that. It took Cass a while to come back, remember? We'll just have to wait."

Dean then sits next to his brother and tries to get his mind of Jack "Hey, Sam? I was wondering. What if we too went to a different world when Lucifer pulled mom in the rift? Like Sam and Deanna? And what if someone erased our memories too?"


MJ wakes up again. It was still pitch black all around her. She listens around but there was not a single sound out there. Complete silence.

How the hell am I going to get out of here?

She tries to remember Cass, her Cass telling her about the empty, but she couldn't remember it all. And Cass was stiff with information on how he got out.

She didn't want to bring the voice out again. She was afraid it would send her back to sleep and she wouldn't wake up again. She starts crawling around again, as slowly and as stealthy as she could, feeling the ground before her. Suddenly she feels something with her hand. A cloth. She reaches forward and feels a leg. Someone's leg.

She wasn't sure what to do. She knew only demons and angels end in here mostly. Angels?

Greeny? Greeny, you there? But for the first time in a long time there was no response. Was the angel inside of her gone? Or just asleep?

She decides to try and wake up the person/thing in front of her. She didn't want to be alone. Maybe, just maybe, this person could help her get out. It's not as if it could kill her, she's already dead.

Maybe we can make a deal, and both try to get out of here?

She shakes the person, whispering "Hey? Hey? Wake up."

She could feel the movement under her. As if the person knew where they were, he also whispers "Who's there? What are you, a demon?"

"No, I'm human."

"Human? How? Only demons and supposedly angels end up here. He told me that."

MJ could feel the man getting up in a sitting position, quietly and carefully.

"He? The empty?"

"Is that what it's called?" The man replies

"What are you? Are you a demon? Since you weren't sure if the angels end up here too."

"I said that because I have never met an angel. Didn't even think they're real. I'm still not convinced. And no, I'm not a demon. Killed my fare share of those bastards."

"So a hunter, a human hunter, huh? I'm a hunter too. I'm MJ"

The man felt reluctant to answer. Like he said he killed a lot of demons. And this place was their final resting place. She might be lying. "Call me Jay."

"Ok, Jay. Have any idea how we get out of here?"

"Who's awake? I can feel you awake you know?"

MJ felt sleepy again and so did Jay. They both came crashing down next to each other.


Sam and Dean were still by Jack's side when he opened his eyes, jumps into a sitting position grasping for air.

"Jack, it's ok! You're safe." Sam says jumping out of his chair.

Jack turns to the boys, his eyes widen and with a heavy breath he says "I felt her!"

"Felt her? MJ?"

"Yes! It was too dark, I couldn't see anything, but I felt her. I could almost hear her speak, but couldn't make out the words. She was whispering."

"So she's awake?"

Jack nods with a smile on his face. Sam and Dean sigh in relief. Cass who stood in the doorpost says "How the rest is up to her."


"Hey? Hey, wake up!"

MJ felt being nudged. She opens her eyes but it made no difference. It was still dark.

"Jay?" she whispers.

"Yes, it's me. Listen we don't have a lot of time before the thing realizes we're awake and puts us to sleep again."

"How do we keep waking up?" MJ asks.

"The what-you called-it told me once it is because I'm a human. Humans weren't supposed to be here. We tent to wake up and bug it. It doesn't like us."

"How long have you been waking up? How long are you here?"

"I lost track of time a long way back. When did you die?" Jay asks.

"2018. You?"

Then there was silence. MJ could hear the man next to her breathe, but he didn't reply.

"Hey, you there?"

"I'm here. It has been a long time." She could hear the sadness in his voice. He must have left someone behind, someone he worried about.

Jay continues "You're the first human I met here. Been alone ever since I... never mind that, now. Do you know a way out?"

"No, sorry. But if we work together, maybe we could find a way. Tell me more about this place, about what the Empty told you."

"Next to the things I already told you, all I know it hates when we awake. It wants to sleep and it can't when we are awake."

What did Cass do? How did he get out?

How long was I asleep?

Suddenly MJ starts shouting "HEY! You dumb cosmic entity! Get your ass over here!"

"What are you doing?" Jay asks.

"Trying to find out more."

Jay was impressed a bit. He never thought about calling out to that thing. He thought all it would do is put him to sleep again.

"Hey, assbutt!" MJ shouts smiling, remembering Cass. "You let an angel slip out of here, I'll be damned if I don't do the same!"

This got the Empty's attention

"Castiel! He didn't slip out. I let him go!"

"Let him go? Why? What could he possibly offer you?"

The Empty laughs "There was nothing he could offer! Now sleep!"

MJ and Jay felt tired and sleepy again. Just before MJ hit the ground she remembered Cass's words "I annoyed an ancient cosmic being so much that it sent me back..."
