A/N: Hi there! This chapter is "99 problems", in my own way. And please don't think Dean's got a bipolar dissorder, he's just messed up and has to handle an Apocalypse, so, give him a break, they'll make it through anyway.

At the end of the chapter there're a few line in Italics. In the next few chapters, that will be the last ones, since this story is coming to an end, the parts where Juliet and Olivia talk will be always in Italics, actually, all Heaven's parts will be, just in case. I hope this will make sense further on.

So, enjoy, and don't think I made Dean and idiot because I wanted to, it's jsut tough for him sometimes.

Songs:

-Highway to Hell- AC DC

-The God that failed- Metallica

Last request, please review, let me know what you think

Love, Maggie

"Actually, he's got a message for you…Back off"

-Dean?- Danielle's voice was strained.

Dean jumped from the bed and headed to the bathroom, without even a glance back. It was the hundredth time (lie, she actually lost count) she watched him toss and sweat in his sleep. Ever since they came back from "Heaven". And damn it, if it was heaven it wouldn't be torturing him after weeks. They told Emma and her all about it, and while the girls were looking for the spell to kill Lucifer, the boys died, and went to Paradise.

And in Paradise, they met Joshua, an angel who communicated with God. She was starting to really hate angels besides Cass, and he wasn't his favorite person either. The son of a bitch angel told them to back off, God had already done enough and the Apocalypse was not his problem. "Well, I say that if you create a damn planet, you look after it" she thought bitterly. But all her rage and hatred together could not change the reality.

And the reality was that Dean was in pain, in agony, and it ran worse than mere deception. He looked like he really lost his will, his faith. And that could only mean one thing. "Michael". Danielle heard the water running on the bathroom and knew Dean was avoiding her. He had promised to wait for them to find the spell, but he was already quitting. And that only fueled her anger. Damn archangel, damn devil and damn fucking world. They had given enough already, why would they keep going? "Because there's no other way" she answered her own question. She watched Dean struggle for weeks, fucking weeks, and there was nothing she could do about it. He didn't want to talk about it, he didn't want to tell her what he was thinking, and he didn't want to admit he was actually considering saying "yes" to Michael.

Worse than that was, they couldn't find the spell to kill Lucifer. Emma and Danielle traveled the country from San Francisco to Maine looking to the right spell, but nothing yet. And she hated to say it, but they were losing hope. If they couldn't kill Lucifer, they'd have to send him back to hell, and that was even harder than kill him. Sometimes she really wondered what she was living for. If fate was for them to fail, then why try? If things were never going to get better, why bother?

"''Cause we can make it" she told herself "we can save this planet and free it from the devil". And after that? "We'll cross that bridge when we get to it". They were all silly answers, of course, but it was the best she'd got.

She didn't know for how long she sat there, the sheets wrapped around her body, letting her mind wander. But she was startled by Dean coming out of his shower, wet hair and all. "At least he wasn't fakin' it" she thought.

-Babe…- she had tried to give him space, she really had, but he was adamant about the whole not talking thing, it was getting annoying. Dean didn't answer, and when she was about to push, his cell phone rang. "Saved by the bell".

-Hi Bobby- he said into the phone. "Nice, Godfather calling now, can't be a good thing"

-How many did you say?- he frowned and Danielle sighed, tired- ten to twenty? In one town alone or…?- he waited for a few seconds and groaned- Minnesota, got it. Yeah, yeah, we'll be there- he threw a suspicious look at Danielle, who nodded-the four of us. Yeah, talk you later, bye- he hung up and picked up a white T shit and one of his flannel shirts.

-Demon trouble?- she asked, getting up and heading to the bathroom too

-Yeah, few towns in Minnesota are having more demonic possessions than usual, he thinks we should go check it out-

-And if Bobby said so we should- she agreed-Em and I need to pick some things from Bobby's, but we'll be right behind ya-

-No need to hurry- he murmured as she closed the bathroom door

-I heard that- she called from the inside and heard him sigh. Man, she missed his smile, she missed his laugh, his smirk. Hell, anything right now would be nice.

-I'll go get Sam. We'll leave right away, call me when you're close-he said through the door

-Okay!- she yelled back. She waited for an "I love you", "be careful", "bye baby" anything. But of course, they were just too fucked up.

"When are we ever gonna catch a break?" she wondered, but nobody answered.

...

-Mmmm, that feels nice, Dexter- Emma moaned, appreciating Sam's actions. He smiled sweetly at her, dimples and all and she thought he couldn't get any cuter than that. His lips traveled down her stomach and when she knew he was about to do what she wanted the most, there was a knock on the door.

-Fuck!- Emma hissed in frustration- I'm gonna kill your fuckin' brother- Sam sighed and got out of bed

-You and me both…- he said under his breath. He threw on some jeans and opened the door. And, it was Dean, the one and only.

-Hi, what's up?- he asked, not inviting him in. By then, Dean knew why and was happy to stay away from his brother's and his girlfriend's affair.

-Bobby called- he told him nonchalantly- said there're some demonic omens up Minnesota, Blue Earth, most in Blue Earth, anyway, we should go check it out-

Sam sighed, and looked at Emma, who was now fully dressed and combing her hair. She nodded once at him.

-Okay, I'm in-

-See you in ten- he said and walked away. Sam closed the door and leaned against it, tired.

-We're probably gonna stop by Bobby's, we need to grab some things, but that might take us a few hours, we'll be right behind ya- Emma turned away from the mirror and faced him. Her hair was combed in a ponytail and a few strands were hanging loosely. And damn him if she didn't look just about perfect.

-Okay, we'll keep in touch- he said, walking towards her and wrapping his arms around her waist- If Bobby's right we'll need the back-up-

-I'll find you first hand info, Dexter- she kissed him, deep and slow, showing him she wasn't over their last encounter and that she was probably going to get payback as soon as she could.

-I've gotta pack- he murmured as she let him go- Dean's gonna be on my ass if I don't hurry-

-Yeah, what's his deal, anyway? If he's messin' with my girl I'm gonna gank him-

-I wish that was it- Sam sighed, again while he packed- it's more complicated than that actually-

-He's fucked up 'cause all the heaven thing, right?- she guessed, packing her own bag- the whole "God's not there darlin'" got him pretty bad, uh?-

-It's hard, Em- he paused and looked at her for a few seconds- I don't know how to explain it, but he's losing hope-

-'Cause we haven't find that spell yet- she sounded somehow guilty

-No, that's not it- he rushed to explain-It's more like, even if you do, things look pretty bad, you know? Who says we're not gonna lose in the end?-

-Dexter, listen to me- she grabbed his face I her hands and look into his eyes. Today they were a darker blue-green than usual-We can make it- she said fiercely- We're gonna find the spell, get the sword, and kick that son of bitch's ass- she seemed to reconsider something- those two sons of bitches' asses-Sam grinned sadly and kissed her one more time

-I trust you, Em- he told her after they broke apart. He gripped the handle of his bag hard-but, sometimes I wonder, I really do…- he kind of grimaced, and opened the door just as the sound of the Impala's honk rang through the parking lot. Emma rolled her eyes and walked out after him, doing one last view of the room in case she forgot something. She never did.

...

-So, Dani, we're headin' to Bobby's, then to Minnesota, right?- Emma inquired once they were in the Camaro. Danielle didn't answer. She looked unfocused, and that was dangerous while driving.

-Dani, darlin', you want me to drive?- she offered, knowing her cousin was going through a rough time.

-What?- she turned to stare at her, then back at the road- No, I'm fine-

-Yeah, you sure look like it-Emma murmured –

-I'm sorry, Em, it's just…-

-Dean, I know- she interrupted-I get it, I do, but maybe you need some therapy, darlin', and you know I'm the best listener in the history of forever- That got a smile from Danielle but that was it.

-Yes, it's Dean- she admitted-he's really fucked, Em. I mean, he looks like he doesn't care, and he always cares. Every day since they came back from that thing in Heaven, he's been havin' nightmares and he doesn't sleep much-

-It must be hard. I think, there's only one solution, Dani. Find the spell. We find the spell, we gank Lex, we gank Lucifer, and we save the world-

-Yeah, just like any other day in the office, uh?- Danielle shook her head-he really believes we're doomed, Em, he doesn't talk to me, he doesn't talk to Sam. He just hunts, and hunts and hunts, and then hunts some more- she sighed- it's exhaustin'-

-We'll talk to Bobby, see if we can get somethin' out of those demons in Minnesota-

-Like what? Try some spells, see what kills them and what doesn't?-

-Yeah…-

-That makes sense, I guess-

-We'll find somethin', Dani, we will- she caressed Danielle's cheek and then dropped her hand- hit the gas, darlin', we're in a deadline-

...

-Girls! Long time no see- Bobby greeted them with a tired smile and a glass of whisky, "hunter's helper" as Dean called it.

-So, you think those omens are the real deal?- Danielle was sitting on the couch in Bobby's study while Emma gathered the things they needed.

-Yeah, the whole state is lit up like a Christmas tree- He showed her lots of papers with weather reports. Electric storms all around Blue Earth, Minnesota.

-You there's somethin' in Blue Earth worth join forces for?-her logic was clean and quick, like always. He shrugged his shoulders

-Don't know, that's why I sent those two idjits to find out-

-We're goin' too- Emma said as she came down the stairs, a few gems, stones and other items on her hands-And, I've got everythin' we need, plus some more- she smirked- I've got my mom's book and yours, I think there's gotta be somethin' against demons in there-

-Yeah, there is- Bobby told them. Emma took a seat next to Danielle and grabbed the books-Juliet helped me with some demons back in the day, she had one hell of a spell to get 'em-

-Get 'em? Like in exorcisin' them or…?-

-Yeah, she couldn't kill 'em, but she was close…- he was thoughtful for a moment- maybe you can continue her work- It was a good advice, actually.

-I never knew she could do that- Danielle exclaimed, irritated- damn it, Bobby! You should've told me earlier!-

-Sorry, kid- he shrugged again- It slipped my mind. You know, it's been a few tough months-

-I know…- she sighed- I'm sorry. Dean's thing is gettin' to me, I think-

-What Dean thing?-

-The whole Michael and save the world deal, he's not doin' too well lately-

-I don't know what to say. I think he's gonna get over it, eventually-

-I really hope so-

-Me too, but now, shouldn't we eat somethin' before we hit the road?- Emma asked, smiling like a child about to have ice cream for dinner.

-Yeah, Em, we should- Danielle couldn't help but smile at her, it was ridiculous, but she sure as hell knew how to lighten the mood.

-Then come, I've got some beers and burgers waiting- he rolled himself to the kitchen and they followed.

...

When they actually hit the road, they guys had already got to Blue Earth and they indeed, needed help. Danielle pushed her Camaro's engine to its limit and made it to Minnesota in four hours.

What they weren't expecting was being ambushed by demons. Emma had learnt Juliet's spell on the way there and used it successfully on the five, (yes, five) demons as Danielle fought fist to fist with some of them.

-You've gotta teach me that- Danielle said as she started the car.

-As soon as we find the guys- Emma called Sam's cell but he didn't pick up.

-Fuck, somethin's wrong, he's not answerin'-

-Try Dean's-

-Okay…- she did, and, again, no answer-No, Dani. Here, hand me that Blue Earth's map-

-You're gonna do a trackin' spell?-

-What else can I do?-

-Alright, hurry up-

-Yes, ma'am-

And she hurried. Three minutes later, they had the exact spot Sam and Dean were. And in another ten, the made it there.

-There's the Impala- Emma pointed out- and what the hell is a firemen's truck doin' here?-

-They're not alone-

-Indeed-

-No, there's a demon here, I can feel it-

-How?-

-Clairvoyance, remember? Is under Dean's car, c'mon- she drove closer as the firemen's truck drove off. Danielle and the driver shared a look, but they didn't stop.

But they didn't have much time. They parked the Camaro and jumped out as they boys looked at them, forgetting for a second the boy that was with them. The boy the demon was going to get.

-Look out!-Danielle yelled, running, Emma on her flank, to the Impala.

-What?- She could heard Dean's confused voice but didn't care. She threw herself at the boy, tackling him to the ground while Emma dragged the demon from under the car. She said the spell, or better called exorcism quickly and black smoke came out of the woman's mouth.

Danielle helped the boy up, smiling in apologize and checking Emma.

-You alright?- she asked her cousin

-Terrific- she answered- and you two, better be careful next time. He was gonna be demon chew toy-

Danielle walked to Sam and Dean's side, the boy tagging along, and Emma too. She kissed Sam once and smirked.

-It's nice to save your ass once in a while- she told him, wrapping an arm around him

-Wait, what the hell was that? How did you..?-

-Clairvoyant, remember?- Danielle repeated for the second time in less than five minutes- and well, that was my mom's home-made exorcism. Nice, uh?- she kissed Dean and took a look at him- you don't look good-

-Yeah, tough hunt-

-A-ham- she nodded-okay, so, if we're done here, I say we get the hell out and to wherever the hell those fire fightin' guys were goin'-

-They're goin' to the Church, to talk to Leah- The boy said

-And what's your name darlin'? I tackled you but didn't get your name- Danielle smiled charmingly at him and the boy blushed, making Dean roll his eyes

-Dylan-

-Well, nice to meet you, Dylan- she shook his hand-I'm Danielle, you can call me Dani, and she's Emma, my cousin-

-Hi- Emma waved, arm still around Sam

-Hey-

-Okay, greetings over? We should leave- Dean was in a snappy mood, but not so shitty as always, and that was something.

-Yes, Captain- she mocked- C'mon, Em, let's go to Church-

-Yay! It'd been a while since I took my last confession…- Sam scoffed and she slapped his arm-Hey! Like you were such a devoted man-

-Guys!- Dean got their attention- Let's go- He turned to Danielle as Emma and Sam kissed. That was something he didn't like to see. But when his eyes met hers, his mood changed a tiny fraction of a bit. He was glad she was there, he liked hunting with her.

-Thanks for coming, babe- he told her and kissed her lips softly. She was somehow shocked, and it made him feel bad for being such a dick those last few weeks.

-C'mon, we'll follow you-

-Yeah, let's go- he kissed her one last time and they parted ways. Emma and Danielle left the three boys and got in the Camaro. Soon, the Impala passed them and hit the road, while they followed close behind.

...

-What the hell is this?- Danielle asked as they entered the church. People were reunited for what seemed like a wedding.

-A wedding? What the fuck are they thinkin'?- Emma inquired, honestly confused.

-Just, leave it alone, it's just the way it is- Sam told her, putting a possessive hand over her hip and pulling her closer to him- and watch your language, we're in God's house-he added and she rolled her eyes

-Oh, please! You wanna know where you can shove your God, Dexter? Right up your…-

-Okay, okay, I get it, shh...- he put a hand over her mouth to shut her up. People looked at them strangely, but it was better if they didn't hear her.

-That's the prophet- Dean pointed to a girl sitting on the first round of seats. Danielle studied her clinically. From what she could see the girl was young, maybe even younger than her. She had auburn hair, in waves, and seemed to have a pretty decent body, she sure wasn't ugly.

-She is the prophet? Wow, angels are really showin' off, uh?- Emma murmured, ignoring Sam's glare. The girls shared a look. "So that was what demons were after". It made sense; they would not like a prophet in the game.

The four of them were standing on the back of the church, near the exit, and it gave them a perfect view of the entire place. Hunters' habit, hard to fight. And the first class position they had helped to see how the prophet, Leah, fell, no, more like dropped to the floor, convulsing, it appeared.

-She's havin' a vision- Emma whispered, stating the obvious. The priest helped her sit up, but she was upset.

-Is Eva, dad- the girl said and they all looked like they knew that name-she's coming back- Emma and Danielle narrowed their eyes, not trusting the prophet at all.

Leah finally recovered and took the main role in preaching. She spoke to two people in particular, they must've been this Eva person's relatives.

-Is going to be okay, Al, Silvia, you're going to see Eva again. When the final day comes, Judgment day, she'll be resurrected and you'll be together again- she smiled a sweet, nerves-breaking grin that gave Danielle the chills. There was something wrong there. The older couple joined hands and cried softly, relief with Leah's words.

-We're all going to be together, with our loved ones. We've been chosen, the angels have chosen us- Emma saw a guy shaking his head in denial. She might not be a psychologist, but that guy didn't look like a believer.

-And we will be given Paradise on Earth- she continued her chattering with all those people nodding and sighing in relief with her. It was weird, but it seemed people who were doomed behaved that way, who knew?-All we have to do, is follow the angels' commandments-

Again, Emma and Danielle looked at each other. Leah had that expression, like the cat that ate the bird, it was suspicious. The next twenty minutes, Leah gave them the "message" from the angels.

-No drinkin', no gamblin', no premarital sex?- Danielle asked as they walked out- what the fuck? That's what's good in life, man!-

-Amen, sister- Emma agreed

-Watch it, girls- Dean warned them

-No, are you okay with this? Dean, they practically forbid 90 percent of your personality- Danielle didn't like how he was reacting.

-I'm not okay with it- he replied- I'm not not-okay with it either- the three of them looked at him confused- Look, Dani, I'm not a prophet, okay? We're not locals… It's not my call-

Danielle stared at him like he was possessed. The Dean she knew wouldn't have said that. He would've dig into the matter until he found answers. And she'd be damned is that wasn't exactly what she planned to do.

-I'll catch up with you guys later- Dean said and walked away. Sam sighed, so did Emma, but Danielle wasn't giving up that easily.

-Like hell you will- she turned to Emma and Sam- Em, keep an eye on things, alright? I'll follow him, and see if I can knock some sense into him-

-Yeah, I've got your back, go- Emma nodded and Danielle smiled in thanks. She silently followed Dean back to the church. Thank goodness there was still people in there, people she could use to hide. He went to the back room, where Leah was resting. It took Danielle a minute to get there, and she stood outside, eavesdropping.

"I feel like a fuckin' idiot" she thought but sucked it up.

-But Dean- she heard Leah's voice- you are chosen-

-Yeah…- was Dean's reply- more like cursed- Danielle sensed him moving but didn't leave her spot

-It must be hard- Leah spoke again-being Heaven's chosen one and have no hope- Danielle's mouth fell open, but she quickly recovered. "Well, when you put it that way… "

But Danielle had heard enough. She went outside and called Emma.

-We're in the local bar, two blocks from the church, to your left- her cousin told her

-Great, I'll be right there-

Two minutes later, she walked through the bar's door. Sam and Emma were sitting by the bar, talking with the owner

-Yeah, I've notices you're not the prayin' type- Emma was saying, and it made Danielle smiled. That was her Emmanuelle, always to the point. She sat next to her and the owner nodded her way

-Well, between us friends, neither half of those guys- he scoffed- couple months ago, they were all in here, getting wasted, banging the nanny- he poured four glasses of whisky and put the bottle down

-And now they're all warriorS of God- Danielle finished for him. He grinned sadly, acknowledging her. He held up his glass and the three of them took theirs

-Cheers-

-Cheers- they repeated and drowned their shots. And man, did it feel good.

-Look, there's sure as hell demons- the owner, Paul se remembered, said- and maybe there is a God- Danielle and Emma rolled their eyes- don't know, fine. But I'm not a hypocrite, I've never prayed before, and I ain't starting now- he locked eyes with Danielle- if I'm going to hell, I'm going honest- Danielle nodded, she respected the guy, he was a good person.

-What about you?- he asked-You are not a true believer-

-I believe- Danielle answered- I do, but I just think God stopped carin' a long time ago- Emma scoffed at that, so did Danielle, Sam and the owner. The rest of the evening went down okay. Again, Danielle thought Paul was a good guy, and she was starting to like him. It shocked them when a siren went off, announcing the curfew.

-Are you fuckin' serious?- Emma complained- I wasn't even by my third drink yet!- Danielle chuckled and Sam shook his head in awe.

-C'mon, we'll see ya tomorrow, Paul, have a good night-

-G'night guys-

-Okay, where to now?- Danielle inquired. Sam wrapped an arm around Emma since it had gotten pretty cold outside

-Out motel room, I think Dean must be there already-

-Yeah, let's go with Mr. Good Samaritan- Okay, maybe the alcohol was making her say things, but it was partially true. She didn't even want to know why Dean was acting like that. It was annoying, and at the same time it worried her. And damn him for being him, he was hard to deal with.

-We'll catch our own room for the night, had me my bag and we're even- Sam told her when they reached the motel.

-You got it- she opened the door to Dean's room while they waited outside, got Sam's bag, handed it to him, said good night and went back in.

-Where you've been?- Dean asked. He was laying on one of the beds, resting

-Drinkin'-she replied simply. She had gotten her back from the Camaro and was now looking for something to wear to sleep

- You rebel-Dean commented, mocking

-I would've drink more, but it was curfew- she told him, picking out a Scorpions T shirt to wear

-Right…

-You heard they shut down the cell towers?- she inquired, taking off her jacket and putting her gun and knife on the table. Dean sighed, tired.

-No, that's news to me-

-Yeah- she took off her boots and jeans, standing there in only her underwear and shirt- no cable, internet. Total cut off from the "corruption of the outside world"- she said with quoting fingers. She turned around and took off her shirt, leaving it over her bag.

-Uh…- Was all Dean said. She faced him, without even putting her T shirt on

-Don't you get it? They're turnin' this place in some kind of fundamentalist compound-

-No, I get it-

-And all you've got's a "uh"?- she stared at him- what's wrong with you?-

-I get it- he got up from the bed- I just don't care-

-What?- Dean was now sitting on the edge of the bed

-What difference does it make?-

-It's make a hell of a…- she cut herself off, glaring at him. She threw her T shirt away and walked to him, not caring about her lack of clothing-At what point this became too far for you?- she sat on the other bed-stooling, poisoned Kool-aid… The angels are toyin' with this people!-

-Angels' world, angels' rules, babe-

-And since when is that okay with you?-

-Since the angels have the only life-boats in the Titanic- he answered and stood up, walking away from her- I mean, who's supposed to come and save these people? It was supposed to be us, and we can't do it!-

-You don't know that!- she snapped- and so what? You wanna stop fightin'? Give up?- he poured a mug of coffee and leaned against the table

-I don't know, maybe- Danielle looked away from him. Those words hurt her.

-Don't say that- she murmured

-Why not?-

-'Cause you can't do this-

-Actually I can- he replied

-No, you can't- she stood up, facing him in all her splendor, watering eyes, pained expression- you can't do this… to me- Dean watched her, now saying anything- I've got one thing, one thing that keeps me goin'- she scoffed- you think you're the only one losin' hope here, Dean? If I don't find a way, we're dead. And I can't do this without you-

She waited, for what felt like centuries, for a reply. He put down his coffee and grabbed his jacket, walking towards the door

-Dean…-

-I've gotta clear my head- he told her and opened the door

-Is past curfew- she called back, now angry at him. She wanted to yell at something, but instead settled for putting back her clothes and do some research if she could.

...

-I'm gonna call Dani- Emma said all of the sudden. She and Sam were discussing the recent events, but something in the pit of her stomach was twirling. Danielle wasn't okay.

-Alright…- he watched her dialed Danielle's number, wondering what the hell was she thinking. But he didn't have time to worry much. Castiel showed up in the room.

-I've got your message- he told Sam, not really looking at him-it was long…your message. And I find the sound of your voice grating-

Emma hung up the phone then and walked over to them. Castiel stumbled and caught the wall to still himself.

-What's wrong with you?- Sam asked- are you drunk?-

-No!- he replied fiercely, and Emma raised an eyebrow-yes!-

-Ha! Your angel's wasted, Dexter!- Emma joked, but caught Castiel when he stumbled again

-What the hell happened to you?- Sam inquired

-I found a liquor store he answered, leaning against the wall

-And?- Emma pushed

-And I drank it!- he snapped and moved towards Sam- why you called me?-

-Hey, easy- Emma caught Castiel, one more time, but she learnt her lesson and stood right beside him now.

-Are you okay?- Emma glared at Sam, telling him it was a stupid question. Castiel got free of her hand and walked to him, He motioned for Sam to lean over

-Don't ask stupid questions- he told him and Emma smirked. The angel was fun to be around after all- Tell me what you need- he said as he sat on the bed

-There've been this demons attacks, massive, around the edge of town, and we can't figure out why…-

-Any sign of the angels?-

-Sorta- Emma replied- they've been speakin' to this "prophet"-Castiel didn't seem to notice her tone

-Who?-

-This girl, Leah Guideon- Sam answered

-She's not a prophet- he said simply

-I told you so!- Emma jumped, glad to be right. Sam glared at her but otherwise ignored her

-I'm pretty sure she is- he insisted- visions, headache, the whole package-

-The names of all the prophets are seared into my brain- Castiel was looking up at the ceiling, and it made Emma look too, he seemed pretty entertained. But after a few seconds he turned to Sam and so did she-Leah Guideon is not one of them-

-Then what the hell is she?- Emma stated the million dollar question.

-Dani, you better come here- Her cousin told her on the phone

-Why?-

-There's somethin' about the girl prophet you should know-

-Alright, I'll leave a note, be right there- she hung up and wrote a short letter for Dean.

Dean, I'm with Sam and Em next door, come after your little "walk".

Dani.

Yeah, maybe he could tell she was pissed, but that was okay with her. More than okay actually.

...

The sun was setting when Dean walked into Sam and Emma's room.

-Dean? What the hell happened to you?- Danielle hurried to his side, seeing the blood on his hands and his expression, not a good combo- Are you alright, babe?-

-Yeah, it's not…- he paused and looked at his hands- it's not my blood- he faced the other three people in the room-Paul's dead-

-What?- Sam, Emma and Danielle exclaimed

-Silvia shot him-

-It's starting- Castiel said from his spot on the couch.

-What's starting? Where the hell have you been?- Dean asked

-On a bender- Castiel replied, defying.

-He said…?- he looked at the others then back at the angel- you said "on a bender"?-

-Yeah- Sam answered- he's still pretty smashed-

-It's not of important- Castiel oscillating from left to right, he was really wrong- we need to talk about what is happening here-

-Well, I'm all ears- Dean said and walked to the sink to wash his hands

-Well, for starters, Leah is not a real prophet- Danielle dropped the bomb on him, and she was one sadistic bitch, but it felt kind of nice.

-Well, what is she exactly?- he asked cautious

-The whore- Castiel spoke without any type of brain filter

-Damn, Cass, tell us what you're really thinking- Dean told him sarcastically

-"She raises when Lucifer walks the Earth"- Danielle recited-" and she shall come, baring false prophecies"- she pointed to the Bible lying on the coffee table

-This creature- Castiel continued- has the power to adopt any human form, read minds. The Book of Revelation calls her "The whore of Babylon"-

-That's catchy- Dean commented

-The real Leah was probably killed months ago- Sam added

-And what about the demons attacking town?-

-They're under her control-

-And the enoquian exorcism?-

-Fake- Castiel smiled as he explained- it actually means "You, breed with the mouth of a goat"- he seemed to think it was the best joke in the world. The four of them stared at him- It's funnier in Enoquian-he excused

-So the demons smoking out, is just a con?- Dean asked

-Why? What's the end game?- Danielle joined in

-What you just saw- Castiel has his eyes on Dean as he spoke- innocent blood spilt in God's name-

-You've heard all that heaven talk- Sam said to his brother-she manipulates people-

-Into slather and kill and sing happy little hymns- Dean got up from his chair, trying to deal with all the new information

-Her goal is to condemn as many souls to Hell as possible- Castiel kept on explaining- and it's, just beginning- he met Dean's eye- she's well on her way to dragging this whole town into the pit-

-Alright- Danielle walked over to him, seeing in her mind what he was about to say- then how do we go all "pimp of Babylon" all over this bitch?-

-The whore can be killed with that- Castiel said after smoking off the room for two seconds. He put a piece of wood in stake shape over the table-It's a stake made from a cypress tree in Babylon-

-Perfect, let's get that bitch- Danielle took the stake and studied it, trying some moves with it

-Is not that easy- Castiel warned and she sighed

-Of course not…-

-The Whore can only be killed by a true servant of Heaven-

-A servant like…?- Dean began but didn't finish

-Not you- Castiel stepped in- or me- he took a swing of his whisky and kept going- Sam of course is an abomination-

-Hey!- Emma complained in Sam's defense, but the angel ignored her

-We have to find someone else- it was kind of funny how he didn't even consider Danielle or Emma. But honestly, who could blame him? They were far from Heaven's servants and everybody knew that.

-I know someone- Dean offered. Danielle smiled, for the first time in days sincerely, and nodded to herself, they could do this after all.

...

-Pastor David Guideon- Castiel told the man when he walked outside the church

-And who are you?-

-I'm and Angel of the Lord-

-Yeah, sure- the pastor was honestly right to doubt, but Castiel decided to show him instead of talking. A blast of wind rampaged the pages of the Bible Sam and Emma were reading and Castiel appeared, with a plus one to th party

-What the hell was that?- Pastor Guideon asked, obviously confused

-Yeah, he wasn't lying about the angel thing- Dean replied- have a seat, Padre, we've gotta have a chat-

Carefully and in the most caring way they could, Sam and Dean explained the situation to Pastor Guideon.

-No, she's my daughter- he denied

-I'm sorry, but she's not- Danielle wasn't usually bad with people, but that town was messing with her, and she wanted it over- She's the thing that killed your daughter-

-That's impossible-

-But is true- Sam argued- and deep down, you know it-

-Look, we get it- Emma spoke for the first time since Pastor Guideon arrived-it's too much, but if you don't do this, she's goin' to kill a lot of people. And damn the rest to Hell- she grabbed the stake and handed it to him.

-It's just that…why does it have to be me?-

-You're a servant of Heaven- Castiel answered

-And you're an angel- he shot back

-A poor example of one- he was right, it only took one look at Castiel to see he was messed up. Poor guy, couldn't catch a break either.

At the end of it though, they convinced him. Emma and Sam were helping Pastor Guideon with the stake, making sure he could handle it. Dean was loading the Impala, while Danielle finished packing and Castiel sat on a bench outside, suffering from a terrible hang-over, no doubt.

-Hey, catch it- Dean threw him a bottle of aspirin and the angel got them

-How many should I take?-

-You? Probably the whole bottle-

-Thanks-

-Yeah, don't mention it- Dean took a breath and continued, Danielle waited by the door, not being spotted but listening. She knew it was wrong, but she needed to understand Dean better to help him-Yeah, I've been there. I'm a big expert on dead beat dads, so…- again, he paused- yeah, I get it. I know how you feel-

-How do you manage it?- Castiel asked him sincerely

-In a good day you get to kill a whore- he replied and Danielle smiled. He was strong, and believe it or not, they were stronger together.

-Okay, I'm ready- Danielle announced, loading her own car

-Let's bag ourselves a whore, shall we?- Emma said and Danielle grinned. Trust her cousin to always find a way to lighten things up.

...

-Okay, you guys wait for our sign, we break in, and open the back door for you- Danielle told them once they were near the church

-Keep an eye on him- Emma warned Sam and kissed him briefly- see ya later, Dexter- She winked and both girls were swallowed by the shadows fast. They were good at hiding, and they were good at breaking and entering too.

-Unlock spell?- Danielle inquired when they got to the back office door

-Be my guest- Emma motioned for her to do it and Danielle focused, repeating the words she heard her cousin say lots of times.

-It worked!- she cheered when she opened the door- damn, I'm good!- Emma chuckled and slapped her arm, pulling her inside

-C'mon, we need to let the boys in-

-That was fast- Sam commented when Emma reappeared in front of him by the back door

-Fast is my second name, Dexter- she joked- get into positions, we've got your backs- Sam nodded and kissed her quickly, then they walked in. Castiel was waiting outside to appear in the right moment, when Leah would walk in the room and the rest of them were all around the room. Sam and Dean were closer to Pastor Guideon while the girls guarded the exits.

After 5 long minutes standing on the dark, Leah finally entered the room. She looked herself in the mirror and any doubts they had dissipated. Her face became demonic and ugly for a few seconds, and it angered Danielle and Emma even more. She closed the closet door and in that instant, Castiel got his arms around her, keeping her from running. Pastor Guideon moved forward, stake in hand

-Daddy, don't hurt me!- Leah begged.

-Guideon, now!- Sam pushed him. But the Pastor hesitated and that gave Leah the break she needed. She said some words in Enoquian and Castiel dropped to the floor. The boys were thrown backwards to the wall and Guideon too. That was when the girls jumped in.

-You fuckin'bitch…- Emma growled and kicked her in the gut. But the whore was tough, she could tell. She smirked and with a slight movement of her hand, Emma landed 5 feet away and hit her head with the wall, which knocked her unconscious.

-Emma, fuck no!- Danielle hissed but she couldn't let Leah run-You're stayin'here, darlin'- she spoke through clenched teeth. Again, Leah smiled diabolically and in what looked like her favorite move, threw Danielle against the furthest wall of the room. And then she ran, followed by Pastor Guideon.

-Guideon, no!- Sam was the first one to get up, but Danielle and Dean were far behind. She didn't want to let Emma alone, but she had to.

-Help me, he's a demon!- Leah claimed and Danielle groaned. Things were getting pretty ugly pretty fast. The people in the church fought against Pastor Guideon and the stake fell to the floor. Danielle, Sam and Dean got there to help Pastor Guideon, but not before Leah commanded Silvia and Al to 2light the kerosene". "What the hell!" Danielle thought and left the boys' side. She heard loud thumps on a door. "People are caged in there" she realized and ran to stop Al from burning them alive. She pushed him against the wall and got the lighter from him, but was surprised by Silvia attacking her.

-Jesus fuckin' Christ!- she fought, and luckily, Sam came to her rescue, taking Silvia off her.

-Please- the heard and while the woman struggled against Sam's arms, Dean was pinned under the whore-like you were a servant of Heaven- she had her hands around Dean's neck and Danielle couldn't move. She was frozen in place, because if she took even one step, Leah would snap and kill Dean- This is why my side is gonna win- Leah told Dean- you're the great vessel? You're pathetic, auto destructive and faithless- Danielle watched as Dean's hand moved closer to the stake-it's the end of the world, and you're just gonna sit back and watch it happen- "Oh, wrong thing to say" Danielle thought in the same moment Dean staked Leah right in the middle of her chest.

-Don't be so sure, whore- he replied and Silvia stopped struggling against Sam to watch Leah die. Dean got up, the stake still in her chest, and they all stared at her. Black smoke came off her, and the stake began to burn. Her face contorted into that evil mask again and she tossed on the floor, but couldn't fight the end result. The stake consumed inside her and she died.

Danielle's eyes were wide with fear, shock and wonder. And so were Sam's.

-But I, don't understand- Silvia said- How are we supposed to get to Paradise now?- She was devastated

-I'm sorry- Dean told her- But I'm pretty sure you were heading in a different direction-

The next few minutes were a blur. She saw Sam helping Pastor Guideon, she felt herself being dragged back to the office. She indeed saw Sam holding a unconscious Emma in his arms, and Dean helping Castiel to his feet. She didn't know how she made it outside, but there she was.

Sam got Emma on the backseat of the Camaro and Castiel and Pastor Guideon on the Impala.

-Are you gonna do something stupid?- she heard him ask and looked at Dean

-Like what?-

-Like Michael stupid-

-C'mon, Sam, give me a break- Dean got into the car and Sam met Danielle's eyes

-Can you drive?- he inquired

-Yeah, I'll follow- she walked to her car and got in, like she was on a trance. But when she got to the motel, she snapped back into reality. She had an unconscious cousin to take care of. Danielle cuddled Emma in her arms and put her on a bed. Castiel was on the other one, and Sam was nursing Pastor Guideon's wounds.

-Okay, let's see what we've got here…- she murmured, getting into doctor mode. She checked Emma's head wound, it was bleeding, but not deathly, a bandage show do the trick. She wished she had some mojo to put on her to help her heal.

After putting the bandage on her head, Danielle grabbed a glass of water with some painkillers and tried to get Emma to take them. But she wasn't waking up. And she started to worry.

-What you're doing?- Sam asked her, watching her go through her magic book like a maniac.

-I've gotta find somethin' to heal Em, she's not wakin' up, it's not normal- besides being totally freaked out, she felt guilty for not helping her cousin sooner.

-Dani, calm down, she's gonna be okay-

-You don't know that!- she snapped and went back to searching.

-Danielle…- but all attempts to stop her were useless. After a few minutes, she found what she was looking for.

-Yes, thank you, mom, thank you- she muttered while she positioned next to Emma, a hand over her head, and the other one over the book. Sam watched in awe as she began chanting in Latin, and slowly, Emma's wounds began to heal. It took Danielle a few more tries to heal it completely, but she did it. Afterwards, she was exhausted.

-What's goin' on?- Emma inquired as she woke up. Her cousin was laying on the bed, apparently sleeping, and she immediately freaked

-Sam, what happened?- Sam left Dean with Pastor Guideon and went to Emma's side.

-She healed you, and it seemed like it took a lot from her-

-What spell did she use?- Sam pointed it in the book and Emma relaxed-It's okay, it's just gonna take a few minutes for her to recover- she let out a breath and hugged her cousin- thanks, Dani…- she murmured

-You need me? I've gotta finish bandaging him up-

-Just give me those pain killers and I'll be alright- she swallowed two Vicodins with a bottle of water and waited for Danielle to wake up. She laid in bed with her, expectant.

-You'll be okay- Dean's voice took her out of her bubble and she noticed the way he was acting. "Not good" she told herself. She wished Danielle would wake up already.

-No- the Pastor replied, honestly. Dean stood quietly for a few seconds

-Where you're going?- Sam asked, fearing he might leave

-To get some clean bandages out of the trunk- Dean answered- Relax- Emma sat up as Sam let go of Pastor Guideon's arm. They heard the Impala roar to life, and ran out.

-Dean!- Sam's yell woke Danielle up. She saw Pastor Guideon staring at the door and decided to go check it out. She walked out as the Impala's lights began to camouflage with the dark road. She didn't know what was going on, but she could guess. And it broke her heart.

-Damn it! Damn him!- Emma hissed, turning around to see Danielle standing there- Oh, shit, Dani, come here- she wrapped an arm around her cousin and helped her inside.

-He left, didn't he?- Danielle asked, her tone neutral and emotionless

-Yeah…- It was Sam who answered her question. He was pissed at his brother, but not just for leaving him, but for leaving Danielle. And worse part was, he thought he had a pretty good idea where he could be.

-I'm gonna go lay down- she said, getting up and walking to the bed. Emma and Sam stared after her, Emma thinking she was going to kill Dean and Sam thinking it was going to be hard for his brother to fix this one mess.

Danielle ignored her surroundings. She laid there, staring at the wall, and she wondered. After all they'd been through, he left. He fucking left. Say it hurt her was cutting it short. It made her fucking homicidal. She had worked to find a way to stop the damn Apocalypse for months, and he just thought the angels had the answers, uh? He just thought Michael was going to fix this? He was dead wrong, and was about to find out. She knew how to find him, and she knew what to do next. She was going to get him and figure out a way to stop Lucifer before it was too late.

...

If only she knew there was a way, waiting for her to discover it.

-My girl- Juliet murmured- my beautiful, sensitive girl-

-We're gonna help her- Olivia told her sister- she's stronger now, a better witch. We can get the message to her-

-Yeah, I hope so- Juliet sighed and leaned her head against her sister's shoulder

-When she's ready, she'll hear us- Olivia said and caressed her sister's hair, wishing they could be down there, fighting too.
