Ally. Night.
"I still can't get used to you at eye level again."
Bobby nodded.
"So, was I right?"
"As always, Yoda. Two demons inside, just like you said."
"Did you get it?" Bobby asked him.
"Yep. Hopefully it's enough for him." Dean said, referring to the jugs of demon blood. It made his stomach churn.
"You okay?"
"Not really. I mean, either Sam dies with Lucifer and I lose my brother, Sam dies with Lucifer and we go down with him therefore I leave behind Bela and our child, or Lucifer wins and we all die. Just tell me what you got."
"Not much. These look like omens to you? Cyclone in Florida, temperature drop in Detroit, wildfires in L.A..."
"Wait. What about Detroit?"
"Temp's dropped about 20 degrees, but only in a five-block radius of downtown Motown."
"That's it. Detroit."
"You sure? "
"I'm sure."
"Okay."
lllllllllllllll
Impala
Dean was in the driver seat of his car again, with Sam next to him and Cas in the backseat. He'd sent a text to Bela telling her they were headed to detroit. He didn't want to just take off without talking to her again, even if she had asked him to focus on the job tonight.
Dean gave a brief smirk at Castiel sleeping in that back seat.
"Wow, he's out."
"Angels don't sleep...it's weird."
"I know...I remember it, from the future. He's basically human right now. Sam, I really don't have a good feeling about this. Everything just keeps playing right into all that destiny bullshit we've been fighting.
"Well, you'd be nuts to have a good feeling about it."
"Detroit. He always said he'd jump your bones in Detroit. Here we are. Maybe this is him rolling out the red carpet, you know? Maybe he knows something that we don't."
"Yeah Dean, I'm sure he does, let's just hope not about the horseman rings."
"Yeah."
"Dean listen...if things do go our way, you understand that I'm not coming back right?"
"Yeah, I got it Sam."
"Alright, then promise me something."
"Okay." Dean agreed.
"Don't try to bring me back."
"What? Sam no, don't ask me that."
"Dean." Sam warned.
"No Sam, you're trip to hell is gonna make mine look like disney world here."
"Once it's over and that cage is shut, you can't mess with it Dean. It's too much risk, you'll have too much to lose, not to mention Lucifer coming back."
"You tried to save me. I can't just let you rot in there."
"Yeah, you will. I'm sorry Dean, you have to. You don't have a choice."
"What am I supposed to do then?"
"Go home."
"Sam."
"Seriously, I want nothing more then to be here and meet my niece, but that ain't gonna happen. So you go home with Bela, you guys go live some normal life. Take your kid to birthday parties and dance...anything but try to rescue me. Promise me."
Dean sighed.
"Dean, promise me."
"Okay. Okay I promise."
lllllllllllllllllllllllllll
Detroit, MI. Outside.
They arrived to where Lucifer was and got ready to go inside. Bobby and Cas were going to stay outside, they'd only let Lucifer know there was some other plan going on.
"Alright then kid...listen here, once Lucifer's in, you fight. Don't give an inch." Bobby told Sam.
"Yes sir." Sam replied.
Sam said goodbye to Cas as well. He then walked around the car away from the others to drink the demon blood.
"Alright let's go." Sam said.
"Okay." Dean agreed. He nodded at Bobby and Cas and followed Sam towards the building.
lllllllllllllllllllllll
Bobby's House. Same time.
Bela was seated on the couch, her feet were hurting and she was still stressing.
"Okay don't take offense, I don't have a great sensor here...but you like like crap."
Bela sighed. "Yeah I'm aware. I feel worse. I just...want to know already how things are going to play out here. If we're going to all die I'd like to know, or if this works and Dean isn't coming back I'd like to know now."
"I get it. But...none of us are the type to be optimistic here but maybe if you believe Dean's coming back he will. I know it wasn't good enough for mom, but for 10 years of my life it did work. She never once doubted dad would come home, and he did every time until that final hunt. Sure, he still passed away but thinking he isn't coming home won't help make you stronger."
Bela nodded. "I know. And I know you care too. You've known them longer."
"Maybe, but you know them better. I think I should've been less stubborn about hunting alone. Having help doesn't get you killed, it helps you not be lonely in this life."
"Don't feel guilty you know, I spent most of my life on my own, never counting on anyone. You had your mom at least."
"Yeah, and I wish I'd spent less time fighting her and more time just asking her to come with me."
"You didn't know."
Jo nodded. "I heard you guys had a name picked out."
Bela smiled. "Yeah. Delia."
"Suiting."
Bela nodded. "You're right you know. I'm gonna pretend like everything's fine until we know otherwise."
"Good. Besides it'll be better for your health."
"Oh please, I'm fine."
"For now."
End Chapter.
