Help Us

Kali stood in the center of a crossroad in Missouri. Around her were monsters of all kinds. There were werewolves, shape shifters, vampires, djinn, and plenty more. They all had something in common though other than being supernatural beings. They had all received notes throughout the week. Kali pulled the note from her pocket and glanced over it casually. How the Winchesters were able to send every monster they ever met a note was beyond her. It was probably just some form of magic they had picked up over the years.

"Hey." Kali, flicked her eyes over her shoulder when she heard the southern accent directed towards her. A vampire stood right behind her with a worried expression on his face. Kali turned completely around and the vampire pulled the letter he had received from his back pocket.

"You wouldn't happen to know what this is all about do you, sister?" the vamp questioned. Kali forced herself to keep from wrinkling her nose. Sister? Keeping her face placid, Kali glanced without interest before meeting the vampire.

"Why would I? What the Winchesters want is nothing I care about," she stated simply. The vampire's eyes widened at that and he lowered the hand currently holding the Winchesters' letter.

"Wait…why not? Aren't you their friend?" Kali laughed. She tried not to, but she couldn't help it. Friends? Her and those hunters? Sure she'd helped them out once, but not because they were friends. "Are any of you friends with them or…"

"It's more of a 'we spared your ass so now you owe us' relationship," Kali explained. She looked the vampire up and down again. "I'm guessing that's not you, vampire?" The vampire stood up straighter then, looking rather proud as he spoke.

"Name's Benny, not vampire," he huffed. "And I ran with Dean and Cas in purgatory and helped them get out. They took me with them in return," the vampire…Benny stated. Kali frowned, but didn't question about purgatory or Castiel.

Instead she asked, "Then why are you here with the rest of us?" Benny looked back to the letter in his hand then, shaking his head solemnly.

"No clue," he admitted. "Actually, I haven't talked to Dean in over a year.

The rumbling of a Chevy Impala stopped him short and both he and Kali watched as the familiar car rolled into view. Several of the other monsters stepped back, looking ready to bolt if things went ugly. Kali and Benny stayed in place, watching the car come to a stop right in front of them.

Both Sam and Dean Winchester stepped out of the car. In Dean's hand was a tan coat covered in blood. Benny's mouth dropped at the sight and he took a step forward to rush to his old friend's side, but Kali held him back with a hand. He glared at her, but she didn't meet his gaze. Instead, she watched the Winchesters, taking in the look of grief that seemed to be radiating off of them. Benny looked around at the other monsters, seeing that they were stepping farther back and all eyes were on the trench coat. Apparently he wasn't the only one that knew a Winchester with a bloody, tan trench coat was not good.

"Suppose you're all wondering why we asked you all here?" Dean began, his voice sounded like ice. Dean held up the trench coat, knuckles white against the tan and red splattered fabric. "Gabriel, Balthazar, and C…Castiel were taken by a demon the other day." Kali and Benny both stiffened. Whispers were passed back and forth at the Winchester's words. Dean turned his head and nodded at Sam. The hunter nodded back and pulled a shovel from the trunk of the impala. He began digging in the center of the crossroad then and tossed in a few things before covering the hole again. "CROWLEY!" Dean shouted, causing Benny and several other monsters to jump (not Kali of course). "Get your ass up here!" There was silence for a moment before a man in a suit finally appeared. Before the man had a moment to comment on the Winchester's rudeness, Sam had a pair of special cuffs clapped against his wrists. Crowley frowned, glaring at the Winchesters.

"As much as I enjoy being chained up, boys, I do like giving my consent first…" Dean's fist collided with Crowley's jaw and the demon quieted while the monsters and pagan gods watched on in confusion and fear. Benny had seen this kind of Dean once before. 'Where's the angel?!' Benny shoved the memory back and watched as Dean pushed Castiel's trench coat in front of Crowley's face, eyes burning as he sneered at the demon.

"Our angels were taken from a grocery store the other day. Tell us where they are Crowley or I'll kill you right here and now," Dean growled. Crowley scrunched up his nose, glaring right back.

"Kidnapping? I didn't order any kidnapping of your…" Crowley paused, realization darkening his eyes. "Bugger," he groaned. Dean pulled back from Crowley.

"Not going to tell us where you're keeping the angels?" he questioned. Crowley remained silent. If he did then he lost all of them. He couldn't afford to do that. When he didn't get an answer, Dean turned to the monsters and pagan gods watching silently.

"This is why we called you all here," Dean began, pointing a shaking finger and Crowley. "If I go anywhere near him his head will be rolling on the floor. Same goes for Sam and the others living with us. You guys though..."

"You want us to torture him for information?" A vampire questioned. Dean shrugged.

"You all have been spared by us in the past," Dean stated. "It's the least you can do in return." The monsters were all silent for a moment, glancing between each other worriedly. Did they really have a choice? Crowley snickered then.

"Really, Winchester?" They won't do a thing! They –"

"Don't speak for us retch!" Kali shouted suddenly, stepping forward and slapping the demon. Dean and Sam recognized her instantly, eyes growing wide with shock. She turned back around to the monsters and her fellow gods.

"Brothers, sisters, the Winchesters are correct. Unfortunately many of us do owe these hunters our lives and a few of us owe some certain angels our live as well." Kali paused, a sad expression suddenly crossing her face. Benny's eyes were on her. She's changed, but when? She looked up again, directing her gaze to a select few. "Also, I know that many of you have children or had children too like these hunters. Would you not want help to save them?" There were a few murmurs of agreement. "What say you? Will you join me in helping these men retrieve their angels?" There was silence for a moment, but then Benny pushed forward.

"Benny?" Dean breathed. He hadn't seen the vampire for a long time. He'd thought about giving the vampire a call, but he'd never gotten to it with three angels to chase after. The vampire nodded at the human.

"Dean, I helped you find your angel once. I'll do it again in a heartbeat," Benny stated before looking to Kali. "I'm with you, Sister." Kali nodded back and Benny turned around to face the others with her. When the rest stepped forward as well Kali looked back around, stepping up to Crowley.

"Do you hear that, King of Hell? We stand with these hunters and even if you don't tell us where to find the three angels you stole we will scour the Earth ourselves and rip hell to pieces to find them." Crowley swallowed and lowered his head in defeat.

"Fine. Let me go and I'll retrieve them for you," Crowley stated. Dean shook his head, marching up to stand beside Kali.

"No," Dean hissed. "You tell us where they are," he growled. Crowley met Dean's deadly gaze.

"You let me go. I retrieve them," Crowely repeated. "Whoever stole them went against my orders and I intend to punish them myself. Don't need your grubby mitts getting them first." Dean's eyes blazed and he lifted his fist again.

"TELL ME WHERE THEY ARE!" Dean's fist was caught by Sam's large hand before it could hit Crowley.

"Dean, just make the deal. It doesn't matter. As long as we get them back okay it doesn't matter," Sam stated, trying to get through to his brother. Dean dropped his fist and glared at Sam. The stare down lasted only minutes though before Dean gave in and turned his hate filled gaze back onto Crowley.

"If you don't bring them back alive…"

"I'm dead. I get it," Crowley huffed. "Let's get this over with. Sign the deal." Dean grabbed Crowley by the lapels of his suit and pulled the demon in for a fierce kiss. Sam quickly snapped off the handcuffs at the same time and the demon disappeared. Dean spat in disgust at the ground and Sam stepped up to Kali and the others that had borne witness.

"Thank you," he said kindly. Kali and the others nodded.

"Let us know when they are returned or if we are needed," Kali stated. She reached out a hand and gripped the Winchester's shoulder tightly. "We will assist you in anyway." She vanished then, most of the monster and gods following her quickly after. Benny was among the last. The vampire stepped forward, pulling Dean into a tight embrace. Dean clung on, shaking in the vamp's hold.

"We'll get them back, Brother," Benny whispered. "We'll get them back."
