VegasGranny: Oh yes ;)
Divineoverseer: You will find out
"You're looking to make a deal?"
"I'm a demon. That's how we do. Please." Kipling taps the stool next to him. "Sit." Sam stays put. The demon raises his eyebrow. "No? Suit yourself, barbarian."
"What do you want?"
"That is a very good question. What do I want? You know, I don't know if you're aware or not, Sam, but Hell is in a bit of a pickle, you know, with Crowley dead and Asmodeus Kentucky fried, which means..."
"I don't care."
"Yes, you do. Or you will. You see, for the first time in a very long time, Hell is without a King. And that...that's just not right."
"So, you volunteer?"
"Exactly."
"Why are you telling me all this?"
"Because I want to work with you, Sam, not against you."
"And is that why you took me hostage?" Cas says.
"It's exactly why you're still breathing. It gives me a chance to show Sam and friends that I can hurt them but choose not to. You see, I want the Crowley Deal. I give you information, a spot of help every now and again, and in return, you choose to turn a blind eye to the crossroads deals, the demon-on-demon violence, etc."
'We never gave Crowley that deal." Sam says.
"How exciting. Then I would be breaking new ground."
"All right. You got some good lines, I'll give you that much, but you're no Crowley. I know that. And so do they."
"Ouch!" Kip laughs. "Owie! I know that I'm not that poncey son of a bitch. You see, in life, I rode with Genghis Khan, and I burned half the world. So, please, do you think that I like prancing around like this? Please." He starts to approach the hunter making himself look menacing. "If I had it my way, I would eat your heart. But a King has an image to maintain. And I'm not afraid of you. But, they are." Kip glances at the other demons showing who he meant. "So, take the deal, Sam, before I stop trying to be Crowley and I show you who I really am. So, what do you say, darling?"
Sam shakes his head.
"No"
"Are you sure, because I know things...all sorts of things."
"Yeah. So do I."
"Such as? "
The doors break down. Mary and Bobby walk in and start shooting.
"Sam"
Mary throws the demon knife towards her son. Sam catches it and raises Kipling ready to fight.
"How smart." Kip says .
They both start fighting. Mary stabs a demon with an angel blade in the head. She turns and stabs another demon. Jack and Maggie hide behind the counter.
"Hey. Stay low." Jack tells her. Maggie nods and keeps her head down. Two demons send Bobby to the ground and start beating him up. Jack comes out of his hiding spot and glares at the demons. "Hey! Get away from him."
The demons look at the ex nephilim with an amused expression.
"What you gonna do kiddo?"
Jack raises his fists into a boxer position. Bobby looks at Jack and sighs.
"Aw, balls. "
The demons chuckle and punch Jack. Jack tries to fight back but the demons overpower him and send him to the ground. Maggie watches with horror as she hears Jack's cries .
Mary goes to Maggie.
"Take this." Mary hands her the blade. "You know how to use it?
"Uh, stab them with the pointy end?" Maggie answers looking unsure.
"Pretty much. Okay."
"Okay."
A demon comes from behind and pins Mary to the counter. Mary grabs a bottle and hits the demon on the head. The demon laughs despite the glass sticking out of its skin. He wraps his arms around the huntress's neck and starts strangling her . Mary tries to push the demon off her but he was stronger. He grinned with satisfaction as Mary struggled to breathe.
Maggie comes out and stabs the demon in the back. The demon's head snaps back its eyes glowing then drops to the ground. Mary rubs her neck and coughs. She nods at Maggie as to say good job.
Kipling and Sam continue fighting. The demon flicks his wrist and sends the younger Winchester into the wall. Sam hits the wall and falls into the table. The table breaks and collapses on to the ground. Sam winced as he stands up. Kipling pins the hunter to the wall.
"I'm brilliant. Ain't I darling." He takes the demon knife and examines it. "Cool."
While Kipling was fascinated by the weapon, Sam grabs the knife and stabs Kip. The demon screams and glows bright. He falls back on the ground.
The demon is dead.
That's when everyone stopped. The demons look down at their master eye wide. Sam takes a step forward and glares at the demons.
"There will be no new King of Hell. Not today. Not ever. And if anybody wants the job, you can come through me. Understood? So, what's it gonna be?"
All of the demons heads go back and thick black smoke shoots out of each one and travels into the air vents and windows. The meat suits collapse on the ground. Sam puts his knife away and looks round.
"That's what I thought."
Michael and Eileen appear in the woods, miles away from where the angels and werewolves are.
"That's as far as I can go." Michael says. "It has brought us time." Eileen points the angel blade at Michael's face. The archangel sighs. "That has no effect on me." Eileen doesn't lower the weapon. "I just saved your life."
"Why did you save me? " she asks .
"I...had to. I couldn't leave you to die."
"Why? Since when did you angels ever care about us. You are ones who started this war. The apocalypse."
Okay Michael couldn't argue back because the woman has a point. The angels did want the apocalypse to happen. Michael wanted to fight his brother. It was destiny. Thinking about it, the archangel didn't think about his father's creations. The danger and harm they were put in, all he thought about was ending Lucifer.
"Yes we did want it to happen. " He admits. There was no point lying if you had a Winchester in your mind . "But..." He looks round at the wasted land. "It would have never gone this far. "
"It did."
Michael sighs.
"Listen. I am not one of them .Yes I am an archangel Michael yes but not from this world."
Eileen furrows her eyebrows .
" You are the other Michael? "
"Yes"
Eileen thought back to conversations the angels had outside her cell, she focused on their lips. She didn't get every word but she remembered a paradise, another world . They were brought a lot. Other words she was sure she read was other Michael, dangerous and captured.
"I heard of you. You are wanted by the angels. "
"Yes. For not good reasons. They see me as a threat because I am from another universe. I'm Michael but not their Michael. Not the one they follow.
"How do I know you are not as bad as him?"
"I may have made mistakes but I am definitely not like him. Your Michael. I am the opposite of him. He wants to destroy humanity. I want to save it."
Eileen scoffs.
"So we have an Yin and Yang thing going on here .You are the good one, he is the bad one."
Guess that is way of summarizing it. Dean thought.
The hunter studies the woman. Eileen looked the same as his Eileen. Only difference was she looked more tough, stronger, she didn't show any fear towards the archangel. She was like the alternative Charlie.
That's what war does to you, it changes you. Dean thought.
"I suppose you could say that. " Michael says with a smile.
" This other world, it has been the hot topic. They have been discussing it a lot." She sighs. "I thought they already had you at first because an archangel was taken in. "
Michael frowns.
"Archangel?"
"Yes"
"Who? "
"I don't know but I know he is from your world."
"How? They are dead? Michael is the only surviving one. " Dean says .
The archangel goes up to the woman's face looking curious.
"May I?" Eileen takes a step back immediately becoming alarmed. "I am not going to hurt you. I am only having a peak. "
"That's what they all say."
" I promise you. I will be very quick. " Eileen didn't look convinced. Michael wanted to grab the woman and look but he couldn't. If he did, she will not trust him. He decides to use a more calm approach. "My vessel, he told me to save you. He didn't want you to die."
"I don't understand. "
"My vessel knew you well the other you."
"Other me?"
"Different worlds. Different versions of people. Just like me and your Michael. There was a version you but...She died. " Eileen stares at him looking shocked. "My vessel, he didn't want to see you die. Yes you may of not known each other in this world but from his perspective you are Eileen and he knows you can be trusted and you do not deserve to meet the same fate his Eileen did. "
"What is he name? The vessel?"
"Dean Winchester."
"What was I to him?"
" A friend. Just friends. "
Eileen frowns .
"How do I know you are telling the truth."
" I am. I swear to you. I am your side. "
Part of Eileen wanted to retreat, run as far as she can. The other part of her felt drawn to him, she felt she can trust him. He seemed different compared to get Michael, she didn't sense any negative vibes. Instead she sensed hope. Hope is something she has not felt in ages since the war started.
"Okay." She lowers her hand but keeps the blade by her side in case the archangel changes his mind.
Michael gives a silent thank you before placing his hands on Eileen's head.
A flash of images go past of humans screaming, angels marching up and down the base. One image shows through Eileen's eyes. She gets dragged by the guards after being interrogated, they go past a man who is in a cage on his own.
He was wearing a muzzle on his mouth, a straight jacket and his feet are chained up. The man lies on the ground looking lost, damaged and hopeless. As Michael focused on the imagery, he sees something through the man.
The archangel's eyes widen.
It can't be.
The man muffled a cry as the chains burn his skin. More images of torture flash across Michael's eyes. It becomes too much for the archangel. He had no choice but to let go.
Eileen gasps and touches her head feeling a headache coming on. Michael stumbles back shocked by what he saw.
"What did you see?" Dean asks.
Michael shakes his head with disbelief.
"Gabriel. I saw Gabriel."
Okay you are probably wondering how the hell is Gabriel back. It will be explained later.
I was pissed off when Gabriel got killed. We only just had him back. I had to bring him back in my story.
Next chapter coming soon. :)
