Continued from last chapter.

"Dean. Even for you, This is a whole new level of stupid." Lucifer, in Sam, said.

"See, I'm not talking to you. I'm talking to Sam."

"You're no longer the vessel, Dean. You got no right to be here." Michael said from Adam's body.

"Sorry Adam, if you can here me. You didn't deserve this."

"Oh just give it up." Michael said.

"No. I'll deal with you later, but right now I need five minutes with him." Dean told Michael.

"No way. You are no longer a part of this story!"

Suddenly Castiel was there and got Michael's attention. "Hey, ass-butt!"

"Ass-butt?" Dean asked. Cas shrugged.

"He'll be back and angry, but you got your five minutes."

"Castiel!" Lucifer greeted. "Did you just use holy fire on my brother?"

"Uh..No." Cas tried.

Lucifer frowned. He then snapped his fingers, blowing Cas apart. Dean froze and turned to Lucifer.

Lucifer stepped forwards towards Dean, but was met with a few rounds in the chest. Dean turned to see Bobby behind him.

"Really?" Lucifer scoffed. He suddenly flicked his wrist, and Bobby's neck snapped.

"No!" Dean yelled out.

"Yes."

"Sammy..."

"You know I tried to be nice for your brother, but I'm done. You are such a pain in my ass." Lucifer stated, and stalked towards Dean. He threw Dean a few feet and into the hood of the impala.

"Come on Sam."

"Oh, he's in here. And he's gonna feel the snap of your bones."

Lucifer punched Dean hard, with one hit causing his nose to bleed heavily.

"Sam, it's okay. I'm here. I'm not gonna leave. Come on Sammy."

Lucifer continued to beat on Dean as Dean refused to fight him. This wasn't a fight he could win. He had to get Sam to do it.

Dean was bloody and beaten, and Lucifer raised his hand to deliver a few final blows...but suddenly he paused. His eyes on Dean and then the Impala.

Suddenly there was Sam in there, internally remembering everything he and Dean had ever been through together. Mostly the past several years, but also when they were kids. They weren't typical in any way. Not just because of all this destiny crap, but because of what they meant to each other.

Suddenly he puts his fist down, Dean can see him through the swollen eyes. It's Sam again.

"It's okay, Dean. I've got him now." Sam told him.

Dean could only watch and lean back against the car as Sam threw the rings on the ground and said the chant to open up the cage.

Michael then appeared again. "Sam! It's not gonna end this way. Stop it."

"No. You're gonna have to make me!"

Michael tried to grab at Sam, but Sam took hold of him and pulled them both into the hole. Dean was on the ground at this point, and barely picked himself up. He fell to his knees in front of where the hole had been, the rings the only thing left. Dean picked them up and shoved them in his jacket pocket. He couldn't move, his insides were on fire, and he'd just lost the majority of his friends. But it was over. He just didn't know if he'd make it back either. Bela would survive though. No more Apocalypse.

Dean suddenly felt someone touch his head, and then physically he felt fine. He looked up to see Castiel.

"Cas, you're alive?"

"Better" the angel replied.

"Wha...you're not God are you?"

Castiel smiled. "That's a nice compliment but no. I do believe he brought me back, new and improved.
Cas then walked over and healed Bobby. Bobby looked up at him, and then to Dean.

Bobby didn't have to ask. There was no Lucifer around, or Sam...or even Michael. Somehow it was all done. Sam had done it. Dean didn't say much to him though. Castiel disappeared and Dean walked over to his car. He gave Bobby a ride to his own vehicle and the two made their way back to Bobby's. Dean didn't bother calling Bela on the way. He'd see her soon enough and he just didn't know what to say without coming off pathetic.

llllllilllllllll

Bobby's.

Bela and Jo were waiting around in the house. Jo cleaning guns and Bela biting at her nails, which was not something she liked to do really. The both heard cars hit the driveway.

"You think?"

"I haven't heard from them." Bela said, shrugging. Jo grabbed a gun just in case and headed for the door. Bela pulled herself up and walked behind her. Jo opened it to see Bobby, and then Dean, getting out of their vehicles.

"Oh God." Bela whispered.

She could see Dean looked defeated. What was going on? Dean kept walking and Jo moved back and into the house. Bobby came in first, gave a brief smile just to say he was okay and walked all the way to the living room.

Dean made his way to the door and stopped in front of her. "Dean."

He shook his head, he just couldn't find words at that moment. Bela didn't know what to do either...he was here alive, but did that mean he'd given up and Lucifer was ready to end the world or was he finally gone? Bela looked straight into his eyes, and she knew then. Sam was gone, and only the kind of gone you couldn't come back from.

She nodded and put her hands on Dean's face.

"He did it." She stated.

Dean nodded back. "Sammy...he's gone too."

Dean leaned into her touch and pulled her as close as he could without squishing her. He felt broken in so many ways. Yet here she was, and they were okay. They were all okay...except his brother. Bela could tell Dean had tears in his eyes...she didn't blame him. From the moment she met them nearly three years before it had been Dean and Sam. That's all. She knew the stories, and then she grew to know them. They'd all done things they couldn't take back, but underneath everything they were closer than any two siblings could be. Sometimes it was downright scary what those two had, but it was them.

She didn't say a thing though, there wasn't anything she could say to make this better for him.

Bobby filled in Jo and Dean and Bela finally made their way inside the house.
