When the light faded, they saw Castiel holding Plutus by his throat in the air. His voice was feral when he spoke. "Stay away from my daughter."
Plutus' eyes burned out of his head and Castiel dropped his body to the ground. The rest of the various monsters had either disappeared or died when the angel showed up. Castiel wiped his hand on his trenchcoat before checking on Seraphina. After he was satisfied with her well being, Castiel turned his attention to Alex.
"What do you think you're doing?" Castiel said in Enochain. His voice was angry, deadly, and he had never used this tone with her before.
"We had no choice." Alex defended. She replied in the angel language. "She bid her grace and I couldn't do anything about it, not without putting Levi and Madison in danger too."
"You should have called for me."
Alex didn't answer, instead she held Castiel's glare. Sam and Dean exchanged a look before Sam cleared his throat and spoke. "We have the tablet and Kevin. Don't you guys think we should get out of here?"
Castiel and Alex took the group somewhere safe before finding a safehouse for Kevin. Alex called in a favor with Garth and took the prophet to his houseboat. While Sam and Dean were making sure Kevin had everything he needed, Castiel pulled Alex aside.
"Why are they even here?" Castiel kept his voice low.
"They went after the tablet." Alex said with a sigh. "Madison found John's journal and found the signs for the tablet. By the way, it turns out a shtriga was the one who put Levi and Sera in the comas."
"You killed it, right?" Castiel asked.
"No. Madison did." Alex said.
"What?" Castiel said. He couldn't help but feel a bit proud of her and chuckled softly. "She's a Winchester after all."
Alex laughed with him. "Samandriel was looking for you. He said that you haven't been seen in Heaven."
"Yes. I can't tell you everything but I am in Heaven." Castiel said. "I have to return now. Call for me if you need me."
Then he was gone. Alex, Sam, and Dean took the children back to Alex's home. Alex checked her voicemail and had several worried ones from Ellen. She called Ellen back and assured her that the children were safe and with the Winchesters. Levi, Madison, and Seraphina walked into the living room and waited for Alex.
"Are we in trouble?" Madison asked.
"Sam and I need some time to talk about this but you three need to realize how dangerous what you did was." Alex knelt in front of her children. "Everything in this world is dangerous, even I'm dangerous, and there are things out there that would kill you without a second thought. Go get cleaned up and I'll get you something to eat."
The children quietly went to their rooms and Alex stood, running a hand through her hair. Sam had joined her for the last part of her warning.
"I'm still proud of them." Sam said, his hands in his pockets.
"Sam..." Alex sighed.
"They found signs, found the tablet, and got it somewhere safe." Sam said. "Say what you want but they are 5 and 3 and they did that faster than we did."
"Yeah, how did they manage that by the way?" Dean interjected, having followed Sam in the room. "How are they so smart?"
"It's part of the demon and angel parts of them. They are ahead of where they're supposed to be by several years." Alex explained. "Levi likes and knows weapons, any weapons, Madison reads almost on a high school level, and Seraphina can track almost anything she wants."
"We have our own Avengers." Dean chuckled.
"This is not okay, Dean." Alex snapped. "They are children. I didn't want this life for them."
"I don't see how we have a choice." Sam said. When Alex glared at him he spoke quickly. "At least right now we don't. If they want to do this, then they're going to find a way. But if we train them, at least they're prepared."
"For what? When they're being attacked from a ghost or demon and they're terrified out of their minds, do you really think they can remember an exorcism or salt or iron?" Alex said angrily. "Don't ask me to bury my children, Sam."
"They're mine too, you know." Sam said. "I think I should have some say in this."
"We've lost enough family, Sam." Alex softened her voice.
"Mom! I can't find my blue t shirt." Levi shouted. Alex cleared her throat and went to help her son.
Alex killed the last of the demons and stopped to catch her breath. Her eyes glowed yellow as she looked around.
"You think you can stop with the yellow eyes?" Anthony asked. He was panting when he spoke.
"Could. But I won't." Alex said.
"Thanks, Jack." Anthony said as they walked outside. "I owe you one."
"You owe me more than one." Alex chuckled. She put her knife back in her jacket. "You get any line on the Winchesters?"
"Not yet. Sorry." Anthony said with an apologetic shrug.
"Call me if you find anything out." Alex said. She checked her phone and saw a text from the Alpha Vampire. He wanted to make sure that she would deliver Crowley. "I got places to be. Keep out of trouble, Tony."
