EPILOGUE

Way-Thru bar, outskirts of New Palz, Upstate New York, next day, 11:00 PM

The Winchesters and Castiel sit with Jace, Clary, Isabelle, Luke and Simon at a set of three tables grouped together, inside the Way-Thru bar on the main road entering New Palz. They all cheer and clink beer mugs and glasses with whisky or vodka. Castiel and Isabelle remain seated with their sights set elsewhere, with the latter launching quick peeks at Sam from time to time.

"By the way," Dean smiles and drinks a zip from his beer. "Where did Alec and Magnus go?"

"They couldn't make it," Jace sighs. "Alec's tending to the damages at the Institute and Magnus said he had something important to do. He babbled about energy purification. Don't know what that means."

"Their loss, then."

Dean and Jace make sudden eye contact with two women sitting at the benches near the bar. They notice that both are blonde, blue-eyed, with doll-like faces and voluptuously hot bodies. Dean reciprocates their smiling gesture.

"What do you say, Jace? Care to be my wingman?"

"Only if you don't screw this up," Jace smiles and finishes his whiskey.

"Sam, I have something urgent to tend to," Dean stands up. "Don't wait up for me."

After enduring everyone's eye rolls and weary sighs, Dean and Jace stand up and slowly walk towards the two women. The rest of the crew orders more drinks and keep celebrating. The night continues.

Hours later and nearing the bar's morning closure, Jace and Dean walk towards the Impala, which had waited for them parked near the bar. Both smile and complain while staggering towards the car's comfortable classic seats. They stare at the still blackened and starless sky.

"Are we really gonna' sleep here?" Jace complains.

"Well, my brother and I have done it plenty of times," Dean leans against the back of the driver's seat and shuts his eyes. "It's never killed us before."

"We sure screwed up back there," Jace imitates his actions.

"It's official", Dean smiles. "You suck as a wingman."

"You too."

"Guys, do you mind?"

Jace and Dean are startled by a familiar female voice coming from the back seat. Jace looks, turns around and then looks again. It can't be. Dean doesn't even bother.

"Izzy?!" Jace covers his eyes with his hands. "Oh my GOD!"

"Man, you should put a sign or something," Dean scolds his brother. "I didn't know you guys were back there..."

"Dude!" Sam covers Isabelle's naked body with his shirt. "Give us some space!"

"All right, all right," Dean smiles and pats Jace's shoulder. "C'mon, tough guy. Let the kids play..."

Jace wrinkles his face before leaving the Impala and walking away with Dean, leaving Sam and Isabelle alone laughing at the events that had just transpired. Way to go, dude, Dean smiles.

Outside the Shadowhunter Institute, Manhattan, New York, 4:00 AM

A man walks in the darkness surrounding the New York Shadowhunter Institute, strongly holding a metal box. His black combat boots leave blood stains as he leaves the beheaded and stabbed corpse of a man behind. The latter's numerous black tattoos shine under the moonlight.

The man stands under a street lamp and searches his pocket He takes a vibrating cellphone out and answers it.

"Arthur Ketch speaking," he talks on the phone. "Yes, madam, I have it with me. I had to go against protocol and kill a Shadowhunter who was very uncooperative. He was unwilling to hand me the item."

A silence follows his phone speech, after which he pronounces a last sentence before hanging up.

"Yes, I understand. Right away, madam."

Ketch opens the metal box and checks his content under the light. He gazes and smiles at the Colt before he closes it back. The Englishman then takes a final look at the old Cathedral before disappearing into the dark.

"We'll be seeing you again... Shadowhunters..."

The end...?
