Robin0203: Thanks so much! I'm so happy that it did, I hope I can keep it up! :D

Broken Twisted Lullabies: LOL right! I find the entire thing hilarious and his many reactions he could have to it! I thought so too,she should have gotten a bit more screen time, she ahd so much potential, but a lot of characters did... LOL! I picture them being like good friends but neither admitting it unless the other does, just because they can be lol! I hope Sam's plan made sense, for taking care of the wandering souls anyway before they can even begin to address the Leviathan problem! Az will, eventually, not telling when tho! Angst is sure to come, once he finally wakes up!

Thank you so much everyone, your amazing!

Comments, reviews, and critiques welcome, flames can cause burns though!

"You'll have time to rest when your Dead"

~~Robert De Niro

Sheriff Jody Mills was up bright and early the next morning, or later that morning anyway, and headed down stairs as fast as she could. She did not expect anyone else to be up briefly wondering if angels even needed to sleep (well besides Azrael but that didn't really count either). She crept into the kitchen and froze at what she saw.

Wide awake and ready to begin whatever it was that he did during his days, Lucifer was standing beside the stove top flipping what she assumed were pancakes. On the counter was a steaming cup of coffee and a pair of car keys.

"Don't think too much of it, idle hands are the devils playthings afterall"

She made no comment as she moved forward. Reaching for the cup of coffee as if waiting for some sort of monster to come out and grab at her. She eye balled the dark drink for a long moment. Poison, maybe?

There was a snort by the stove top, "Please, if I wanted you dead I would have done it by now, and besides, that would leave that girl in there all alone"

She had almost forgotten about Alex. She didn't remember her ever coming up stairs last night. She spun around, her eyes hard as she glared at the back of Satan's head. He either didn't notice or didn't feel threatened enough to turn around for he simply flipped another cake in the pan and watched it sizzle away.

"She's in there," A hand jet out pointing towards the living room, "Sleeping on the couch so do keep down"

She nodded slowly, heading towards the fridge, imagine her surprise at the fruit salad she found there. She pulled out the bowl, not remembering buying all these fruits especially the passion fruit or star fruit. She turned in inquisitive eye towards the blonde man at the stove. Without turning around he knew exactly what she had found.

"The kid likes fruit"

As if that was the explanation for it. Raising an eyebrow slightly she grabbed herself a bowl and sat at the spare table that had magically appeared in her kitchen. Azrael was still out for the count, his Hound laying sleeping in his shadow, but his breathing sounded more relaxed then it had when he had first come to her home.

She sat in silence, watching him work at the stove top, and ate her bowl of fruit. How would he know that Alex liked fruit? There was foot steps stomping down the stairs and she grimaced at it. Alex was a light sleeper and-

"Gee who broke the elephants out of the zoo!"

Alex appeared in the doorway between the kitchen and living room, blanket still wrapped around her shoulders. She glared at anything that moved clearly not in the morning mood yet. Dean paused and choked on laughter as he took in her bedhead and she had to restrain herself from flipping him the bird (the looks she was getting for Jody...And Lucifer? really helped).

"God kid, the rats called, wanna know when they can have their nest back?"

She smiled at him with as much venom as she could muster. Saturdays were her sleep in days and it was obvious as to why it was best to let her do such things, seeing her now.

"Oh wow, good one gramps! Willy Wonka called, wants to know when his Oompa Loompa is coming home"

Jody glared at her until she sat down, took the fruit salad without so much as a word about it and poured herself a heaping portion into a bowl that was slid underneath her. Lucifer placed a large plate of bacon and hotcakes in the center of the table to which Sam and Dean eyed suspiciously. He rolled his eyes as he leaned back against the opposing counter.

"Honestly, I'm not that bad! It was one town guys! One town!"

"One town too many."

He threw his hands up in mock defeat, clearly not remorseful about whatever it was he had done to that town. Neither Jody nor Alex asked. Neither wanted to know to be completely honest. Sam cleared his throat before the awkward silence could take over the room, his eyes locked on the fallen angel casually munching on a piece of bacon leaning against the counter.

"Ok, so, you here to help, thats all, the only reason we haven't kicked you out is because we need you and Azrael needs you"

Lucifer nodded, clearly not disagreeing with that statement in the slightest.

"Speaking of which, we need your help"

"Oh do tell!"

Lucifer leaned forward clearly interested now, Alex snorted around a piece of pineapple and merely shrugged when everyone looked at her, Sam took a deep calming breath before continuing.

"Azrael guides the souls? Right?"

"Yes, it is one of his many jobs, he guides them to where they are meant to go, preparing them for afterlife, and absorbing the ones that have no final destination and are headed to the Empty, why?"

Sam shared a look with Dean, having clearly talked this over already amongst the two of them, and now seeking for a second opinion.

"Well, we have enough on our plates with the Leviathan running around everywhere-"

"And who's to blame for that?" (Dean bristled at the comment clearly aimed at Castiel)

Sam continued as if he wasn't interrupted, "And now we have souls just gathering in places, wandering around, no where to go and no way to get there, but I was thinking, there are other death deities out there, right? Why couldn't we gather them, tell them what's going on, and get them to do the job that was left open when Azrael was taken out of the field?"

Lucifer actually looked surprised for a moment by his suggestion, thinking it over as he stared at the younger hunter. Alex had finished her fruit and leaned back in her chair, the creaking of the legs drawing him out of his reverie.

"Looks like we got to go grocery shopping kid"

Dean jumped up, hand itching for a weapon he could point at the fallen angel, his face red.

"No way! Your not taking her anywhere!"

Alex jumped up at his shout, "Hey! I can make my own decisions! Your not my dad and I'm not a kid!"

She was glaring at Dean as she said this, clearly shooting eye daggers at him.

"Alex"

Jody and Lucifer looked at each other for a moment, both having said her name at the same time. Jody nodded at her, clearly indicating that she trusted her to be able to handle herself and that Lucifer had given her no reason to pop a cap up his ass and he best keep it that way. May not kill him but it would hurt like hell.

The teenager looked at her in thanks before turning her gaze to the fallen Morning Star.

"So what are we looking for?"

Lucifer flew them to an undisclosed location.

Jody had gone to work as planned and The Winchesters had promised to stay with Azrael, and to contact them if anything happened whilst they were gone. She stared in amazement as he had unsheathed his wings in the back yard, large shining white, they were gorgeous. He caught her staring and she turned away blushing, he smiled in amusement.

"Normally they would burn your eyes out, but I'm dimming them. Its faster to travel with them tangible like this"

He opened them wide, beating them against the air, before taking off like a bullet. She tried to watch, looking up at the sky as she tried to spot him, but he was too fast for her to catch. Her scream of surprise was an honest one when arms wrapped around her chest and the ground fell out from below her. She screamed as she was pulled up into the air, her hands grasping at his arms until her knuckles were white.

His laughter was like music in her ears.

"Calm down, I'm not going to drop you"

It took all of maybe five-ten minutes for her to get used to the feeling and settled back into his chest, watching the rolling hills flying passed them as he beat his wings and glided them through the air. His arms tightening just a fraction when she shivered, out of fear or coldness he didn't know. Eventually they landed in a jungle somewhere she had never seen before. He set her down, his hands never leaving her shoulders as Lucifer spread his wings out, threatening any beast who was watching them in the shadows.

Making sure they knew exactly who he was, and that the girl was with him, in his protection.

She stood still, silent, watching as he cast glances to the shadows surrounding them. He let go of her shoulders after another few minutes, but caught her attention a moment later.

"Stay beside me, if you can't hear my breathing then you're too far"

She nodded, moving forward to look around. She could feel his eyes on her as she moved, occasionally checking in as he looked for whatever plant it was they had come for.

They walked for a while, left unbothered by the creatures of the forest, but he knew it was too good to last. About three miles in one decided it was best to try its luck and tested his threat, appearing in the shadows right next to where Alex was standing. She released a scream of fear that had him spinning around so fast that had he not been who he was he would have given himself whiplash. The girl went from being across the clearing to popping up right next to him in a moment, clutching at his arm tightly as he looked around the shadows by where she had been standing.

Wrapping an arm around her shoulder's he walked them both over, a wing draped around her protectively, he hissed out at whatever it was that was watching them.

It hissed back, and she moved in closer.

Glaring at the direction of the hiss, his eyes flashed a bright brilliant red and it whined lowly as its footsteps backtracked, his hand rubbing at her outside shoulder lightly, fingers scratching.

"Your alright kiddo, it won't touch you"

Be that as it may, she had refused to leave his proximity for the next few hours they were there.

They returned about three hours later, took an extra hour to mix the concoctions, and fifteen minutes to light another round of candles.

First they summoned the Egyptians, Anubis and Osiris. Green flames shot up from the candles, Azrael's body illuminated by the light show. Beside him appeared two figures. Alex gasped from behind Lucifer, her eyes wide as the figures cleared into actual people.

An older man with long braided hair stood beside a younger man, maybe appearing around her age, a little older. The other had the head of a dog, that's all that she could focus on at the moment. The large man turned towards his companion, patting him on the shoulder lightly.

"Human form Anubis"

The dog boy nodded, his head flashing gold before changing completely. He was tan, lighter then the other man at his side, and his eyes were the most darkest black she had ever seen. He smiled at her from the mans side, canine teeth glistening at her. She wasn't sure if it was a friendly gesture but she took it as one and returned it with one of her own.

Lucifer raised his head, gaining the attention of Anubis and Osiris as he did, greeting them formally. They bowed their head at him in formal greeting.

"Morning Star, it has been a long time"

Lucifer nodded, the last time he had seen or heard from either of them was back when Father had unleashed the plagues on Egypt. Nero growled at Anubis and he growled back, both baring their teeth at one another, in a gesture that seemed almost playful. Lucifer's lips twitched at the sight; he should have known that Anubis and Azrael would have met at some point.

"Too long, come, sit"

Sam was watching Lucifer carefully, his eyes wide, this was a side of him he hadn't known existed. He was commanding, but not mean about it, demanding the same respect he was willing to give (to certain deities of course, one just doesn't mess with Death's handy men).

"He was once Yahweh's most trusted Lieutenant, well next to The Prince of course"

Sam was startled out of his thoughts as the teenager appeared at his side, long dark hair cascading smoothly over thin shoulders. He looked down at the kid who smiled up at him, his canines flashing. From in front of them someone called his name and his head shot around.

"Anubis, come."

The teen groaned and griped about not actually being a dog, but still walked across the room after the man he had arrived with, taking a seat to his left. The large man placed a hand on the kids head, turning it gently so he was facing Lucifer.

"Say your greeting"

"Sup?"

The man, Osiris by elimination, rolled his eyes in exasperation. Lucifer waved him off, greeting the boy all the same.

"How's it going pup?"

"You know, death's death"

Next the summoned The Aztec's and Incan's; Supay and Mictlantecuhtli, Lucifer pulled Alex further behind him this time. The flames glowing a deep amber as they shot into the air, in their place, as the smoke rolled through the air, two figures appeared. Not as young as Anubis but not as old as Osiris, a happy medium. Both a deep tan, long dark hair braided down their backs, bright color full clothes wrapped around their waists. Nero glared but remained silent.

The old ones deserved respect.

Supay stepped forward, "Greetings Great Star"

Lucifer bowed his head this time, the other two following suit. He motioned them towards the table and they both sat to Anubis's left.

Next was the Greeks', appearing from the shadows stepped a man and another teenager. Both with skin so pale it was almost sickly and dark midnight black hair. The man was in an ancient Greek toga, dark rubies adorning the embroidery. The boy next to him was in a dark pair of skinny jeans, a t-shirt, and a black bomber jacket. Lucifer raised an eye brow at the pair, but Hades elaborated quickly.

"My son has requested to join us, Nico, say your greetings"

"Hi"

The fallen angel nodded his head, he'd thought that Azrael would have known some of the demigods. Welcoming them with a greeting of his own, he motioned towards the table where the others were seated, Nico and Anubis bumped fists while their elders glared at one another. There was a long standing rivalry there.

"And Lastly, Norse, Hel of Helheim, your presence is requested."

There was a bright flash of green and gold lights, a women taking form amidst the light show, long slowing hair cascading over her shoulders and down her back. She wore a magnificent green silk dress, a slit coming up to her right knee, a golden circlet adorning her light brown hair. She was beautiful. The lights faded and she looked around the room carefully.

"Prince of Morning"

"Queen of Helheim"

They nodded at each other as she took the empty seat to Osiris's right. Lucifer clapped his hands together, gaining all their attention. Alex was still hovering somewhere behind him, not having actually released her from his side yet. Sam and Dean were coming up on his left, some of the deities eyeing them dangerously, clearly having met before this time and not parting on good terms.

"Now that we are all here, I will turn the floor over to my main man Sam"

Motioning for the younger Winchester to step forward, Sam cleared his throat, he hadn't actually thought this far, now that he thinks their plan over.

Now they actually had to get down to business.

So? Sam's plan involves the other Death Deities? Anubis and Azrael as friends, honestly who else is surprised? Why hasn't Azrael awoken yet? Is he healing, or getting silently worse? Where's Dante with his target? Where's Castiel? What's going to happen now? Who doesn't like Alex and Lucifer's forming relationship? Stay tuned!
