As we sail away, moonstruck and astray
We're fallen angels
We're the scary tale to scare your mind away
From fallen angels

Jesse Speaks

It was hard to think of another time I was this afraid.

I could feel the power that was surging through Zeno; there was no way I could ever be as strong as that, there was no way.
I hardened my stance as Zeno straightened himself, smiling at me with a bloody smile.
'Good to see you walking around, little help from your buddies hmm?' he teased but I didnt take the bait; Zeno sighing.
'Your a disgrace to our kind, working with humans and angels over me? We could easily have control of everything!' he growled but I kept my mouth shut, ignoring the pull I could feel to snap back at him; he wasnt worth my breath.

Taking a step forward, I felt stronger than ever and my fear vanished like the demons in the room as I clenched my fist. They screamed, trying to remain in their fleshy suits but I was too quick and they disappeared like black smoke through the floor.
Zeno hesitated, his foot sliding back as I continued slowly towards him; not actually sure what I was going to do. Nervous eyes looked at me, and I smirked, glancing over my shoulder to the others, making sure that they were alive.
'You make it look easy,' Zeno chuckled, thrusting his hand at me. I paused, unsure what was going to happen, 'I make this look easy.'

There was a shout and I spun around despite Zeno being arms length away from me. Demons appeared to replace those I sent back to Hell, fighting with even more determination. Dean was forced back to Ben and Claire, Castiel doing his best to vapourise them on his own. I was about to exorcise this bunch as well, closing my eyes and concentrating on the demons only.

I was knocked off my feet suddenly, falling to the ground.
Looking up, I felt my mouth fall open, not expecting to see Tatiana standing over me.
Spinning to my feet, I grabbed her as she fell into me, a good old fashioned sword protruding from her lower chest. It was ripped out, Zeno giving a disapointed sigh and I glared up at him, sending him to the other side of the room, crashing into the wall.
'Thats a bitch.' Tatiana moaned and I lowered us both onto the ground, not hearing any of the fighting or screaming as I concentrated on the shape shifter in my arms.
As much as I wanted to drop her, leave her to die alone for everything she had done, I couldn't do it.
'Just, just stay still.'

My hand hovered over the wound, which was sizziling like hot oil had been poured onto her bare flesh. She groaned, biting her lip and I inched back as her body shimmered, her form wavering in front of me before it settled. Green eyes looked up at me; she still looked like the Tatiana that I had met and hated but I couldnt bring myself to hate her.
'Why did you do that...?'
'Your kidding right?' she moaned, rolling her eyes and sitting herself up on the wall, pushing my hands away.
'I'm sorry,' her breath faultered and I went to try and heal her; I didnt know how it would turn out, I could barely heal humans let alone a shape shifter but this power that was running through me was giving me the confidence to try.
Tatiana slapped at my hand, pulling her jacket around to cover her wound from me.
'You have to believe me that I, I,' her throat tightened and I brushed her hair from her eyes, Tatiana catching her breath before she smiled at me. She lifted a hand, curling her finger for me to come closer; her mouth open and ready to whisper to me. I leant in, my ear to her mouth but she grabbed my chin, bringing my lips to hers.

I wanted to pull away, suprised that I was even thinking about it rather than doing it. Tatiana giggled when she pulled away, her hand still holding my chin tightly.
'Just go stop that bastard, I'll be fine.'
She covered her mouth, coughing as blood spilled into her hand.
I forced myself to not lick my lips, wanting more than ever to help her, but instead I nodded, knowing she was lying and I couldnt help but feel... sad as I stood, leaving her bleeding against the wall. Her eyes remained on me until I turned away, my anger like painful blisters as I managed to find Zeno amongst the others fighting.

I moved quickly, appearing before Zeno and throwing a punch at him, superising him. Like a coward he ran and I went to follow but Castiel stopped me.
'Your friends need you,' sharp blue eyes looked passed me and I followed them to Ben and Dean who were struggling to fend off the demons.
With a swipe of my hand the demons collapsed, empty shells of people scattered all over the hospital room and Ben flicked his head at me. Claire was covered in blood and my worry spiked until she stood straight, frowning at Zeno who managed to drop Castiel to the floor. I risked a quick glance to Tatiana, who had her eyes closed and was impossibly still against the wall.

'I had better leave, thank you for this... entertaining show, but no one can stop me.'
He smiled, and I growled almost like an animal as he disappeared. My hand reached out a split second later, grabbing onto whatever Zeno had left in his wake.
'Close your eyes!' I bellowed, preparing myself for what could only be described as a leap. With a heave I teleported all five of us along with Zeno, not knowing where or when we would end up landing.
A moment later my feet hit solid ground.

'Fucking hate that,' Dean groaned behind me and I unclenched my muscle.
'Sorry,' I said softly but Dean just flapped a hand to me as in no worries, poiting to Castiel.
'At least you give warning, this guy would just charge up to me at three in the morning.'
Castiel sighed, going to explain himself but Claire, or Claires body moved forward to interupt them.
'We do not have time for this. We must stop Zeno now.'

All in agreement we turned to figure out where we were and more importantly where Zeno was but my muscles locked with fear at the sight.
A large bay was off to the side, the water lapping at the shore fiercly as dark clouds began to build over the city; or what was left of it.
People were screaming from the destroyed city; smoke billowing from whatever buildings were left standing. Had a bomb gone off? Where were they?
'This is, we are still in the currect time.' Castiel said, confused. It was good to know we werent in the past or the present; even if I didnt feel weak from the teleportation, I wouldnt know how to bend time to get us back.

There was an enourmous crack and we all spun around, just in time to see the statue of Liberty fall to the earth.
'What the-' Ben started, unable to finish when the ground shook from Liberties impact on earth. New York was under attack from every creature they had ever hunted, I could feel it. People were dying, slaughtered to death by teeth and nails but there was something else, something that felt strange as I tried to scan over everything.
Some people were still alive, but there was something odd about them, something unnatural and I could only think of the poor people Zeno had turned into his angel proof army.
The sky was glowing in the pre dawn light and I spun around angrily when I picked up Zeno; Claire doing the same.

Zeno was hip deep in the water, shouting something in a different language which made the water around him bubble and surge.
I used my power to grab him, ripping him from the water and forcing him into the dirt in front of us, Ben and Dean aiming their guns at him as Zeno roared, snapping my control and lunging at me angrily.
'Look out!' Castiel yelled and I could sense the demons and creatures charge from the surrounding park lands. The water seemed to moan, taking a life of its own as it surged onto land, heading in every direction. Rain began to drip from the clouds that were getting bigger and darker and it made me fight even harder against Zeno.
It wasnt clean, cheap shots being made everywhere in an attempt to put each other down; I could feel my rib break and my skin sting as Zeno used whatever "gifts" he had been given as an anti christ, just like I was.

Zeno flew back from me, charging at me the instant his feet were back on the ground but instead of a high attack like I was expecting, Zeno dropped and kicked my feet out from under me, and I dropped heavily onto my back; Zeno on me before I could vanish or even realise I was on my back.
'What makes you think you can win?' he hissed, beating me with his fists so I couldnt answer.
'Your friends will die, and so will you.'
Pain exploded through my chest; my throat opening into a shout as Zeno plunged his hand into my chest, wrapping around my heart. I was motionless, I couldnt do anything and Zeno smiled, hair dishiveled and eyes wide; he looked crazy.

Forcing myself to not give in, I grabbed his head with both my hands, hoping to win by using the powers I tried not to use.
I could see everything in Zenos mind; his plan to infect people by the rain, to make peace in the world and watch over it; the hatred in peoples eyes when they looked at him...
'Gareth, come inside or you'll catch a cold.'
'You think you can be normal? You think people will accept a freak like you?'
'Best to kill yourself now, get it over with.'
'You can be so powerful, thats what your demon father wanted.'
'I love you Gareth, we can be together forever.'
'She died because of you!'

Zeno screamed and I managed to breath in as he was ripped away from me, my head splitting in half with the flood of memories from him. I was filled with his anger, his pain, I couldnt get rid of it. It didnt stop and I groaned, trying to force him from my mind, the images flooding and destroying my own; he had planned for this, and now he was smothering me with his own mind. I could feel everything I held close slip away; replaced with everything Zeno had.

What he was doing wasn't wrong; it was going to make the world a better place. God did nothing for the human race, but Zeno would, he would make sure there were no more wars, make sure that no one died and left people with heartache, he would be a better God...

Something almost like an electric shock surged through me and I jolted up right, staring into Claires face who stared back.
'Claire...' I sighed, feeling myself again.
'I am not Claire. My name is Nisroc.'
I nodded, allowing Nisroc to help me to my feet. It was strange to think that an angel was helping me, but the enemy of my enemy is my friend, or however it goes.
'I have an idea,' I said and Nisroc glanced at me carefully, face filthy with blood and dirt and hair messy around her shoulder, still stunning but I shook my head, sharing my idea with the angel telepathicly, finding it hard to explain.
Nisroc nodded, vanishing in a blink of an eye and after scanning over Ben and Dean, making sure they were still alive and kicking, I targeted Zeno.

Everything I had; my power, my soul my everything I forced it to bend to my control, using it to make Zeno remain still.
He groaned, unable to move at all as I kept him in place while Nisroc appeared behind him, quickly wounding him however angels injured someone with their hands. I kept my control over Zeno, feeling my skin chill from the rain and my limbs shake with the effort as Zeno challanged my control over him. I edge closer to him, feeling my strength drain slowly, Zeno weakening himself from whatever Nisroc had done to him.

She stood by the water, arms wide as she managed to manipulate the water back into the bay, settling back to normal but as I released Zeno and Nisroc turned around; the water and rain stopped somehow, I knew that this was far from over.
