CHAPTER FIFTEEN: The Dynamic Duo

"Meg, Dean's not going to trust you." Castiel argued. They had been going over different tactics on how exactly they were going to get through to Sam and save both of the brother's from themselves.

So far they had only had one idea and to the angel it was a pretty fucking stupid idea.

Meg crossed her arms, putting on a fake hurt expression as her eyes followed the now pacing Cas. "Why do you say that? Everything I did was to help Dean. And would you sit still!" She snapped, losing patience. "It's our only plan-"

"A truly moronic plan." The angel corrected, stopping in front of her with a disapproving glare.

"Our only plan." She insisted, pausing briefly to meet his blue gaze. "I'm willing to take a stab at it for Dean-o. If you come up with something better, give me a call."

Before Cas could argue further, Meg was gone to go sit on her throne.

…

Dean chuckled darkly as he watched his brother drink greedily from the demon the Knight had just killed not even ten seconds ago.

A cruel smile crossed Dean's face as he tapped Sam on the shoulder, offering him the bloodied First Blade. The youngest Winchester held up one finger as if to say 'hold on' and continued with his snack.

The Knight crossed his arms as he watched with one eyebrow raised in awe. He has never seen someone use such strength and urgency when ingesting something.

But then again, Dean's never seen anyone be this addicted to demon blood before. He had never seen his brother relish the taste of copper as much as he had been the past few hours. The kid was practically sweating crimson.

The body crumpled to the gravel as Sam stood up, glancing down the dark alley in case any onlookers had wandered down. Moving from his spot propped against the wall, Dean approached him. "Think you've had enough?" He asked with a mischievous glint in his eyes.

Sam's eyes flashed black for barely a millisecond, but it was sufficient to make the Knight start to hope.

"I'm good. What now?" The youngest Winchester asked, excitement lacing his words.

With a sly grin, Dean patted Sam's shoulder roughly before leading him down farther into the alley. "Let's go practice some of those abilities of yours."

The Knight sauntered over to the fuming demon that was trapped inside of a devil's trap at the very end of the alley. Wickedness dancing in his eyes, Dean shoved his little brother forward.

Sam looked back at the elder of the two with confusion in his gaze, eyebrows furrowed. "What do you want me to do?" The hunter watched as a smirk crept across his brother's face.

"Kill him." The Knight said flatly. Nodding, Sam turned to face his target, but returning his eager eyes back once his brother cleared his throat. "Slowly." Dean added with raw pleasure in his tone.

The taller of the two smirked, facing his body towards the agitated demon. Sam eyed him carefully, not impressed by what he saw. He noted how this demon didn't radiate power like his brother did. Sam could feel power coming off of Dean in waves like nothing he has ever felt before. Whatever happened after Dean killed Crowley, it was nothing good.

Sam could tell he was losing his grip on reality. He even began to doubt if their plan was going to work. Maybe Meg was wrong, he thought as he raised his hand, palm facing the trapped man.

This whole thing had started with Sam thinking he could outsmart his brother.

Now he was thinking his brother had outsmarted him.

Something in the hunter's gut told him that Dean knew what Sam had been planning and was now testing him. But, Sam also knew that what was good and bad was now all muddled together.

"Come on you dick, do it." The demon spat, nostrils flaring.

Sam's lips tilted up at the corners as he began clenching his fist, twisting it slightly. "Only because you asked so nicely." The hunter said sarcastically, his voice barely audible over the demon's screaming.

The Knight glanced down the alleyway, taking his eyes off his brother for a second to make sure no one was planning on coming to the rescue.

Dean saw a quick flash of tan duck behind a dumpster. Before he could go and investigate, he heard a slight gush of wind come from behind him.

Whirling around quickly, he was greeted with Meg's smug face, staring at him with amusement.

"Hey, Dean-o. Great to see ya." Winking at the clearly pissed off Knight, the brunette eyed Sam with pity. "You're not a very good influence on that brother of yours." She commented, returning her attention to the former hunter.

"What do you want, Meg?" Dean questioned, crossing his arms casually. By his posture, Meg could tell the Knight didn't feel threatened by her whatsoever.

The brunette lazily lifted one shoulder as she took a step towards the eldest Winchester. "I just wanted to let you know that I'm taking my rightful position as Queen of Hell. Has a nice ring to it doesn't it?" Meg walked around Dean to where she was behind him; stopping a couple feet away from the dumpster the Knight had studied seconds before she appeared.

The former hunter spun around to face her, only faintly registering the soft sucking sound and few grunts of enjoyment coming from behind him. "You're up to something." He reasoned, looking at her with suspicion.

Meg frowned slightly, realizing that Dean wasn't going to buy her shit. "I wanted to turn over a new leaf." Noticing the eldest Winchester's skeptical look, she sighed heavily. "I'm Team Dean now. I kicked Cas to the curb and here I am." The demon took a step towards the Knight, halting a mere inches from him. "You don't trust me, Dean?" Meg's voice dropped to pure seductiveness as she leaned in and brushed her lips across the Knight's, hesitating for only a moment before she disappeared.

Sam coughed awkwardly, causing his brother to turn around sharply, shaking his head to clear the awful memory.

Wiping his mouth clear of blood, the taller of the two raised an eyebrow. "Where to?"

Dean's lips twisted darkly as he looked at his brother with a purpose. "We give Meg a nice, warm welcome."
