A/N: Sorry for taking forever to update. I've been busy with midterms, writers block, and honestly, laziness. I'm going to try and put up another chapter this weekend since we have Monday but to make it up to you guys!
Chapter 13
Heads or Tails
Jinx stared in awe at the beautiful sight before her. The great Niagara Fall's was right in front of her, practically in reach, and she wondered why she had never asked Balthazar to take her there.
"So, the Water Tablet is here?" Balthazar asked.
"Yes, somewhere in this area," Oro answered.
"Somewhere in this area? That's pretty broad," Gabriel said, crossing his arms angrily. Jinx never really understood how he could be so happy at one time but then be so angry at another.
"Well, we'll just have to search. I'm fairly positive that the Tablet isn't physically in the water fall so that means we should check shops and rock walls," Luna said. Jinx had always thought of Luna as uptight but she can sure be useful at times.
"This is going to take forever," Jinx complained and clung to the wooden railing in front of her that protected everyone from falling off the side. She raised an eyebrow when she saw something etched into the wood. She took a look to see that the words were Thou shalt not kill. Wait, she's seen that before. Megan had pointed it out at Mount Everest and Jinx saw her looking at a car that had the words painted on it back in Hollywood. She made a mental note to herself to tell Megan that she saw the words here too.
"Why don't we check out that sketchy boat house first?" Gabriel said, pointing over the railing to an old, almost cryptic looking boat house resting beside the water fall. Compared to the fall the boat house looked ill placed and like a fault that most people didn't pay attention to because their minds only focused on the perfections, not he imperfections of the beautiful sight. Seemed like Gabe kept his mind on the imperfections.
"Sounds like a good idea," Jinx said and, making sure no one was watching, jumped over the wooden railing and starting sliding down the slope towards the old boat house. By the time she got down there the Angels were already waiting. "You could've told me you were going to poof down here! Look at my jeans!" Jinx yelled, pointing to her now mud stained jeans. The Angels just shook their heads then turned towards the blemish of a boat house.
"Energies strong over here. The Tablet might actually be in here," Luna said.
"Looks like I'm lucky," Gabriel said smugly.
"I wouldn't say that…," Balthazar said and Gabriel elbowed his younger brother.
"You think I should shift now?" Jinx asked.
"No, not yet, people could still see you," Balthazar said, sticking close to her. Jinx liked it when he got protective of her.
The five of them then slowly entered the boat house. It was dark and smelled of decay, mossing growing in places where Jinx thought was impossible for moss to even get to. Jinx straightened when she smelled something other than…gross stuff. Evil. Rylie evil.
"You snooze you lose!" Jinx growled as she saw Rylie standing in the middle of the boat house with what looked like the Water Tablet in his hands.
"I told you the bank robbery was a diversion," Oro scowled back at the group. "We lost time arguing about it."
"What did you do with the others?" Jinx asked, snarling.
"Let's just say they're…a little locked up right now," Rylie grinned and flipped the Tablet in his hand. Jinx saw Luna flinch at the action.
"God, why are you so corny?" Jinx said, crossing her arms with a sigh. "Can I shift now?" Jinx asked, looking at Balthazar. You see, the thing about being a Skin Walker is that you get a…itch sometimes to change. It's like the animal inside of you is clawing and roaring, just waiting to come out. And you had no idea how much Jinx wanted to rip Rylie and his little Demon pals to shreds. Being a Skin Walker also comes with a temper.
She smiled when Balthazar nodded and Jinx took a second to think about what she would actually change into. Then, in one swift movement (it didn't actually hurt to change, it was like her bones and muscles could easily slide into a new shape like molding play-dough), she turned into a snow white wolf with piercing golden eyes.
"Neat magic trick you got there, sweetheart," Rylie grinned but didn't move. Jinx knew that the Demon couldn't resist a good fight. But then Rylie did something unexpected. He sighed, looked at the group and said, "You know, I would really love to do this whole fighting thing again. But I don't think I wanna risk this one," he said then disappeared.
Shit, Jinx thought, growling. She got all wolfed up for nothing.
-B-
Emma had fallen asleep on Megan's lap as they all sat in the vault.
"Emma, such a nice name, don't you think?" Lucifer, still present, said as he paced around the small room. Megan didn't say anything. "Maybe I could get one of those cell phones…that way we could text each other, like, what do you kids say nowadays? BFF's?" Megan was really tempted to throw something at him now.
But that made her remember something. Maybe she could call the others, see if they could spare an Angel to come and get them. She shifted Emma a bit so she could check her pockets. No, she didn't have her phone; the only thing in her pocket was the Air Tablet. Wait…the Air Tablet! How could she have been so stupid! She could use the Tablet to get out! And she bet that Dean still had the Earth Tablet with him too.
"Took you long enough," scuffed Lucifer.
Megan shot a glare at the Devil then elbowed Exarp who looked at her expectantly. She tapped her pocket, a piece of the Air Tablet showing. Exarp nodded, understanding. Megan then leaned over to look at Dean. "Psst! Dean!" she whispered, though everyone in the vault could probably hear her.
"What?" he whispered back.
Dammit, she couldn't just say 'Do you have the Earth Tablet' because then Tiny guarding the door would know what they were planning. She needed to think of a code name. "Uh, Toph!"
"What?" Dean asked back. Oh yeah, Megan forgot that he didn't watch Avatar.
"Geodude!"
"What?"
Okay, she could rule out Pokémon now.
"Earthquake!"
"Megan, what the hell are you trying to say?"
Megan rolled her eyes then tapped her pocket. Dean looked at her, confused for a second, and then seemed to realize something. He checked his pocket then nodded at her.
"Hulk smash?" Dean asked and Megan nodded with a smile. He then got up and walked over to Tiny who eyed him suspiciously. He then stomped as hard as he could; making the ground below them shake. Then a giant wall of rock rose from the ground and hurled itself at Tiny, making him fall back against the wall, unconscious. Now there was a giant whole in the ground, which meant that the sigil underneath them was broken and that Megan could use her powers again.
Everyone that was trapped in the vault quickly got up, startled at what they just saw. They all shouted panicked things at once, making the Megan want to get out of the vault quicker. Emma had now woken up, staring in awe at Dean with a giant smile on her face.
"Okay, everyone please calm down. Let us get out of here before anyone asks anymore questions, got it?" Dean said then looked over at Megan. She nodded and shot out her hand, opening the giant door of the vault. Everyone ran out of the vault quickly, happy to be free of their prison. Sam helped Cas up and Exarp took Emma from Megan, holding her tiny hand in his. Megan got up then walked out of the vault with Exarp and Emma at her side.
The group of people clustered together in the lobby of the bank, still terrified out of their minds. Sam and Dean nodded Megan and the Angels before going over to the group to give them a script about what to say to the cops and to try and get them to calm down.
"I guess that Tablet was your 'Get out of Jail Free' card," Lucifer said then yawned. "You're boring me now. Catch you later," he said with a smile then disappeared. Megan sighed with relief.
A second later Megan felt someone tugging on her shirt. She looked down to see little Emma, still holding onto Exarp's hand. "Can we find my Mommy now?" she asked. Megan gulped. What was she supposed to do? She couldn't just tell this little girl that her Mother is dead. Not with those big puppy dog eyes staring at her. That's when she got an idea.
"I'll be right back with your Mommy, okay sweetie?" She said then headed behind the desk to where Emma's dead Mother laid.
Megan crouched down beside her then took a deep breath. She could do this, she knew other Angels could do it, so why not her? She then placed two fingers on the Mother's forehead and a second later her eyes opened wide and she took a big gasp of air.
"What-What happened? Emma?" The Mother panicked, looking around for her child.
"Shh, shh, she's okay, I promise. There was a bank robbery and you got knocked out, okay?" Megan lied.
The Mother nodded and then slowly got up with the help of Megan and ran over to her daughter and hugged her tightly.
Megan slowly followed, feeling worse for wear. Man that made her really tired. She was totally drained. She stumbled and held onto Exarp for balance.
"Hey, you okay? And what was that all about?" he asked.
"Yeah, I'm fine. Just tripped. And it was nothing," Megan lied but still held onto Exarp.
"Bye Superhero's!" Megan turned around to see Emma wave good-bye to them as her Mother dragged her out of the bank. Her and Exarp waved back and smiled. Superhero's, Megan thought. I like that.
Sam and Dean walked back over to them after the group of people left to go and talk to the police. "Time to clear out before the police investigates," Sam said.
Megan nodded. "I wonder how the others are doing," she said before they all disappeared back to the safe house.
