A.J. quickly looked down at her hands and began fiddling with her fingers, "What do you mean I was the key?" A.J. asked still looking down. She felt a finger lift her chin and she was met by her mother's blue eyes.

"Don't look so sad, Lex, you are a very important girl." She tucked A.J.'s curly brown hair behind her ears and smiled at her. A.J. began to shake her head.

"Because of you and your sacrifice all these angels are able to come home. They are able to take back what is rightfully theirs." Her mother said as she pointed out into the vast fields of angels returning.

A.J. sighed and looked out into the fields of returning angels; thinking about what she left behind made her sad. She would miss the new found friendships she had made with Sam, Dean, Cas and Kevin. She blinked her eyes as tears began to escape onto her pale face.

Her mother looked down and put an arm around A.J. and smiled at her. A.J. snugged into her mom's shoulder as they watched the angel's returning.

A.J.'s mother sighed and looked down at A.J., "We need to talk about very important things." A.J.'s mother suddenly blurted out. A.J. raised an eyebrow and turned her head to meet her mother's gaze.

"Like what?" A.J. asked. Her mother gave her a sweet smile.

"Alexandria, this isn't your final resting place, not now anyway." A.J. cocked her head to the side.

"What do you mean?" A.J. asked as her mother turned her body toward hers and held A.J.'s hands in hers.

"Do you know what your name means, Alexandria?" Her mother asked as A.J. shook her head back and forth.

"Defender of mankind; you were born to protect mankind from evil." A.J. gave a confused face as her mother continued,

"You were one of God's special projects." Her mother said as A.J. continued to listen.

"I gave birth to you because God requested it. You are his biggest weapon against the demons and other supernatural beings."

"What the hell?" Is all A.J. could manage to say. Her mom let out a small laugh and patted her daughter's hands.

"It's very confusing I know, but you have to understand. Your work on earth is far from over." A.J. tilted her head again as her mother let go of her hands.

"I took the liberty of getting this back for your friend Castiel." A.J. watched as her mother lifted a necklace over her head and handed it to A.J.

A.J. looked down into her hands and saw a small vile glowing a radiant white.

"Castiel's?" A.J. asked as she looked up at her mother. Her mother shook her head up and down with a smile,

"That is Castiel's grace, Alexandria, which will make him a full-fledged angel again." A.J.'s eyes widened as her thumb began to stroke the vile of light.

"But how am I going to give it back to him?" A.J. asked as her mother stood up from the bench and took A.J.'s free hand. They began walking away from the bench.

A.J.'s mom stopped their walking abruptly and faced her, "Alexandria, I am taking your soul back to your body."

"What?" A.J. was in shock she didn't really understand what was going on.

"Alexandria, you are going to live again, but we have to hurry." A.J.'s mother bent down so she was eye level with A.J.

"I can get you back to your body, but you must have Castiel heal you within 5 minutes of getting back." She shifted her eyes back and forth and continued,

"If you do not make it within 5 minutes, you might die again and Crowley has his feelers out looking for your soul." A.J. took in a deep breath and looked down at the vile of grace she was holding. She carefully lifted it up and pulled it over her head; letting it hang around her neck.

"Why can't you heal me?" She asked her mother while still looking down. She felt her chin being pulled up and looked directly into her mother's eyes.

"That's not important," Her mother said as her grip started getting tighter on A.J.'s shoulders.

"Alexandria, do you understand what you're supposed to do?" A.J. shook her head up and down and fondled the vile the lay on her chest.

"Then go, Defender of Mankind, go and fight." Her mother said as she kissed A.J. on the head. A.J. began to feel a little dizzy and swiftly shut her eyes.

The next sensation A.J. felt was her head lurching forward off the cold floor and a deep gasp escaped her lips. She quickly threw her eyelids opened and looked at a very familiar ceiling.

Her fingers eagerly twitched as she rolled her very weak body onto her stomach. She took in several labored breaths as she slowly pushed herself onto her knees; feeling very weak.

She looked down at her blood soaked body and shook her head. She was appalled that her body looked so torn and bloodied. She brought her hands up and examined the blood caked in every crevice of her palms.

She sighed as she ran her fingers over the vile hanging around her neck and knew she had to get up now. She pushed herself up onto her feet and could tell how weak and wobbly she was. She tripped forward and caught herself on the door frame. She took in several more labored breaths and heard a loud clank coming from down the hallway.

"To Alexandria!" She heard as she finally limped her way into the hallway.

"Castiel!" She hoarsely yelled while using the wall to hold up her weight. She heard her voice echo and again called for Castiel. She felt her body starting to let go and she was becoming frantic. She couldn't let Crowley take her soul.

"Did you hear that?" Castiel asked as he looked at Sam and Dean. Sam and Dean stopped mid drink as a familiar female voice was heard weakly shouting in the hallway.
