Sam, Mary and Bobby are walking through the church Lydia told them about.
"You think vamp-girl was lying about Michael hanging out here?" Bobby says.
"Not sure why she would. I mean she has every reason to want him dead." Sam says.
"She wasn't lying about the slaughter happening here...whole lot of dried blood on the floor." Mary points out.
"Why was he killing them? And what does she mean by experimenting?" Sam says.
The three of them stop. Bobby looks round.
" Don't look like he's here." He says.
"You were saying Bobby."
The three of them turn around. AU Michael smiles.
"Bobby, Mary...Samuel." His eyes set on the younger hunter. "How has life been without big brother Dean."
"Shut up." Sam says. Anger in his eyes.
His hand goes into his bag ready to get out the holy oil to trap the archangel.
"Uh uh." AU Michael raises his finger. "I don't think so. I know what you got in there. I know what your little plan is. Trap me, take my grace, open the rift. I know Sam."
The archangel appears behind the hunter and snatches the bag off him. He peers in.
"My my Sam you been busy. I'm impressed. You really are a determined boy." His eyes go on to the other two hunters. "Care to drop yours."
"Don't know what you're talking about." Bobby says.
"You think I'm stupid. I know you got more. Hunters always have back up plans." Bobby was close to getting out his gun and shooting the archangel in the face. AU Michael grips his hand on Sam's shoulder. "Drop your stuff or he receives a little something from me."
Sam turns and swings a punch. AU Michael blocks it and twists Sam's arm. Sam cries out in agony.
"Might go for the leg next."
The archangel's eyes go down at the hunter's leg.
"Okay. You win." Mary says. She drops all her weapons and bags. Bobby still kept hold of his. "Bobby." Mary looks at him to say drop it and surrender. Bobby stares at the archangel. AU Michael stares back looking amused. "Bobby!" Mary repeats.
Bobby wanted this son of a bitch to suffer. Now was a oppountrinty to do that. Although Sam's life is in balance, losing one life is better than losing millions. Bobby hasn't known the young hunter for long. But Sam was Mary's son.
Mary has meant a lot to Bobby these last few weeks.
The older hunter drops his stuff. He remains silent. He looks away not wanting to show how pissed off he was.
"See that wasn't so hard." AU Michael pushes Sam away and clasps his hands. "Now we can talk. Lets start with the bodies you found. The vampires. It gave you a lead. Surely you must think I would be covering my tracks, not carelessly dumping corpses where people can find them. Did not you think it was too easy. Three weeks struggling to find me then suddenly a lead just pops up."
Sam's eyes widen.
"You...you wanted us to find those bodies."
"Bingo."
"Lydia."
"Lydia was bait. She thought she escaped." The archangel shakes his head. "No. I let her go. I knew you hunters would track her down. Force her to reveal my whereabouts. The little vampire didn't have it in her to stay quiet for long."
"You wanted us to find you." Bobby says.
"Correct Mr Singer."
"But why? Why now?" Sam asks.
"I want to show you what I been up to since we last set eyes on each other."
"Your experiment."
"The future Sam. My vision of the world."
Suddenly the windows smash and three werewolves leap in. They land on all fours. The werewolves growl their claws out ready to attack.
"Meet my army Sam."
Sam frowns.
"Werewolves really?"
"They are more than your average werewolf. Let me show you." His face darkens. "Get them."
The werewolves charge at the hunters. One sends Sam down to the ground. The werewolf pins Sam down. Sam struggles in the monster's grip.
Werewolves have never been this strong. Sam thought with horror.
Mary comes behind and stabs the werewolf with a silver knife. The werewolf straightened up. His hands wrap around the knife. The werewolf pulls it out and lets it drop to the ground.
Mary goes back eye wide.
Impossible. Silver is supposed to hurt them.
"Silver has no effect on them Mary." AU Michael says with a smirk.
"What!" Bobby pushes the second werewolf away and shoots at it.
The silver bullets hit the werewolf. Again it had no effect.
"Yes. I dealt with the silver. Werewolves are now immune to it. All thanks to me."
The third werewolf grabs Mary by the throat and tosses her across the room. She hits the wall and rolls down.
"MOM."
Sam stands up and pounces on to the third werewolf. They both go down on the ground. The two of them roll around throwing punches at each other. The werewolf slashes its claw through the fabric on to the skin. Sam screams and kicks the werewolf away. He goes to stand up but gets dragged back down and punched across the face.
"Mary." Bobby rushes to Mary's side.
The first werewolf growls and spins the older hunter around. The werewolf slams Bobby into the ground. Bobby's head goes up. Blood pours out of his nose. The werewolf presses down on to Bobby's hand causing the hunter to cry out in pain.
AU Michael stood observing the scene. He smiled looking proud of his work.
The hunters are struggling with three werewolves. What are they going to do when it is an army of them.
The archangel grins imagining it. The monsters running the streets taking out every last human on this earth. It will become the perfect world. His eyes go on to the younger Winchester. His grin widens.
No one will able to stop me.
Alan Smith decided to take his dog out for an evening walk. Alan liked the night walks. It is peaceful. Streets are clear, no people, no noise, it kept his dog relaxed.
As the man and his dog turned into the park, The dog suddenly starts barking like mad.
"Hey. Hey what is it Baxter?" Alan asked.
The dog was barking. Barking at something. Alan frowned. He and Baxter are the only ones here.
"What is it boy?"
There was suddenly gold sparks. Alan's frown deepens.
Someone doing fireworks?
There was a flash causing the man to cover his eyes. The light dims down leaving a long, golden, thin line. Alan removes his hand. He squints trying to make out what he is seeing.
"What the hell?"
A leg comes out followed by an arm. Baxter was jumping around barking like crazy clearly distressed. Alan didn't run, he stood and stared in shock.
A man comes out. His face dirty, clothes ripped. He eyes Alan and his dog up and down.
"What you looking at." The older man snaps.
Alan blinks. Puzzled by how this man came out of mid-air. Another one this time a woman steps out of the golden line.
"Rufus." She says. She stops and looks at Alan. "Oh..." She laughs a little. "Uh hi. We were just um...passing by."
Rufus scoffs.
"Passing by? Jo you think he is going to believe that."
"Um."
More people start stepping out. All with the same dirty, muddy features. Alan looks at each person with a WTF expression. Baxter hides behind his owner terrified by these group of strangers.
A man wearing a leather jacket steps out who looked the cleanest out of them followed by another one who reminded Alan of a lumberjack.
"Ah." The leather jacket man says. "Home sweet home." He breathes in. "Can you smell that? Fresh air. No bombs, fire, smoke. Just natural fresh air." His eyes set on to Alan. "Oh baseballs."
"Yeah. He saw everything." Jo says.
The lumberjack sighs heavily.
"That's just great."
"Don't worry Dean. I got this." Leather jacket man says with a wink. He walks up to Alan. "Hey man and doggie."
Baxter winced and remained hidden.
"This is not helping Gabriel." Dean says.
"Wait." Gabriel's eyes glow. He touches Alan's head. "You didn't see anything." Gabriel says his voice slow. "We are a couple of guys...okay more than a couple of guys who have just come back from a party. It was an awesome party. There was music, food, booze, women..."
"Gabriel."
"What?" Gabriel looks at Dean. He could have sworn he saw a Michael expression on his face. "Just making it believable." He looks back at Alan. "So yeah brilliant party. We greeted each other and now you are gonna take your dog back home...and feed him some doggie treats and..."
"Gab..."
"And put your feet up and watch a movie of your choice." The archangel quickly finishes.
He let's go of Alan and his eyes return normal. Alan shakes his head becoming puzzled for a few moments. Then he smiles.
"Sounds like you had a lot of fun."
"We did. It was out of this world."
Dean rolls his eyes at Gabriel's comment. He could hear Michael letting out a sigh.
"Where you off to?" Gabriel asks.
"Gonna take the dog home, give him his favorite treat and maybe watch a movie. Chill out."
"Nice." Gabriel nods. "Enjoy the rest of your night sir."
"Thank you. You to." Alan gives his a dog slight tug "Come on Baxter. Time to go home."
Baxter looks up at the archangel.
"Thanks for convincing him to give me a treat."
Gabriel does a thumbs up as Alan takes his dog away.
"Something is wrong." Dean says.
"What do you mean? Gabriel asks.
"Michael, he's near."
"The other one?"
"Your brother can sense him."
"Are you sure he is not sensing himself."
'No I'm not." Michael says.
"No he said the other Michael is near. A church."
Dean sighs.
Why is it always a church.
"Sam is there." Michael says.
"Sam is there with Michael!"
"He is." Gabriel says eyebrows raised.
"I gotta go. You take the hunters to the bunker."
"You have a bunker?" Jo says.
"Dean shouldn't we think this through."
Dean was already off before the archangel could finish
Gabriel sighs.
"Right okay. Leave me here while you go on a suicide mission."
Gabriel could have followed but he couldn't leave the hunters. They didn't know their way around this world.
"How am I suppose to take everyone to the bunker?" The archangel questioned. "I got one pair of hands you know."
He frowns.
"Since when did Dean learn how to use my brother's wings."
"Give up Sam." AU Michael says. "You are not going to win."
Sam glances over at his mom and Bobby struggling against the werewolves strength. Sam was struggling to get one wolf off him. Hearing AU Michael's laughter infuriated Sam so much he couldn't focus. He was angry, he hated AU Michael for what he did to Dean.
Sam gets rolled forward. He stops under Michael's polished shoes.
"Poor Samuel." The archangel looks down at him. "You have zero chance on winning this war." AU Michael puts pressure on Sam's chest. "You know why I didn't kill you Sam, I wanted you to suffer, I wanted you to break. " He grins. "I can see the hope vanishing in your eyes. You are starting to give up on your brother."
"Shut..."
"Up." He scoffs. "Probably my other me has lost the plot and got him and your brother both killed." Sam wraps his hands around AU Michael's leg. "Don't bother Sam." The archangel scoops the hunter off the ground and raises him up in the air. "You got a great view." He turns Sam around and smirks. "To watch your loved ones die."
Sam swings his legs and kicks the archangel. AU Michael stumbles back slighty but doesn't lose his grip.
"Pathetic attempt Sam." AU Michael chuckles "Embarrassing I say." The archangel moves to Sam's throat. Sam's face screws up as he feels the archangel's fingers digging into his neck."No big brother to help you now."
The doors burst open. Dean walks in. His eyes glowing with rage.
"PUT HIM DOWN."
The werewolves pause. AU Michael stops and looks around. His eyes widen.
"You."
Sam looks at the new arrival in disbelief.
Dean raises his hand. AU Michael suddenly goes flying across the room. He hits the wall causing cracks to form. He falls into the table smashing it into pieces.
Sam drops to the ground gasping for air.
The werewolf was so distracted he didn't see Mary grabbing a machete. She chops his head off sending the head flying. The headless werewolf drops to the ground.
She stands up and blocks the attacks. She went in for the kill chopping another werewolf's head off. The werewolf who was attacking Bobby stops and charges at Mary. She dodges his fists and kicks him. The werewolf swipes the machete out of her hands and grabs her by the throat.
Bobby picks up the machete and chops the final werewolf's head off. Mary coughs.
"You alright?" Bobby asks.
"I'm...fine." She answered with a cough.
Sam quickly scrambles to his feet ignoring the pain he was in. He watched his brother charge straight at the alternative archangel.
It can't be. Sam thought. It can't be Dean.
He notices Mary and Bobby's shocked expressions. The hunter realized he wasn't seeing things. Dean was here. In their world.
Dean yanks the archangel off his feet.
"Missed me." Dean says his face looking murderous.
"How are you back?" AU Michael says his eyes wider than ever.
Dean punches the archangel across the jaw.
"You can't get rid of me that easily."
Michael wished he was the one beating the crap out of the alternative archangel. Damm he would find it so satisfying.
It's just as fun seeing he is the not so tough one now. Michael thought.
AU Michael eyes the hunter up and down. He sensed Michael's grace was back up to full level. Combined with his sword Michael is stronger than ever.
I can't fight him. Not without a plan. I need to get out of here. The alternative archangel thought.
AU Michael's shock vanishes. He puts on a smile.
"Until we meet again."
Then he vanished.
"Damm it." Dean mutters.
Sam takes several steps forward. He stares at the back of his brother. He didn't know who was in control. He didn't know if Dean was alive. This could just be Michael.
The name that meant so much to the Sam slips out of his mouth.
"Dean."
Dean's shoulders relax. Become less tense. He turns around. His face softens as his eyes set on the younger Winchester.
Then he smiled.
A Dean smile.
"Hey Sammy." His smile widens, his eyes light up, relief spreads across his face. "Its me."
The next chapter is the last one. Thank you all who followed and reviewed this story. :D
