After we got the hell out of dodge and got to some back road motel. Getting a single two person room and blowing up an air mattress both of the boys looked at me for an explanation.
"Look I know that I may have lost all faith you have in me but that kid was bad news and I'm not going to hate on you guys for not listen to me. Though that wasn't the only reason I drifted into the shadows was because I was sure that it would be only a matter of time before you realized the truth," I explained.
"Truth? Truth about what?" Dean asked.
"What can you do?" Sam questioned before I could answer.
"At first I just got feelings. I could read people better then I had ever. I could feel other emotions in a way that was overwhelming but with some work I was able to block it out. Figure out what was my feeling and what were others. Then it got worst. I started hearing people's thoughts. Great for poker bad for just about everything else. Now before you ask I can feel the other's emotions but not their thoughts. Though it seems I can read any other humans just fine. And Dean no, I will not guess what you are thinking." What I told them was basically the truth. Having any ability takes time and will likely blow up in your face at least once.
"Why the hell are you only tell us this now?" Dean questioned anger clear in his voice.
"Because I didn't want to be seen as a freak. I was scared that not only that Dad would wash his has of me even more then he already had and I didn't want to lose you two. You two are family to me and ya we argue, we fight, we even stop talking to each other but we are still family and that has nothing to do with DNA. I should have told you but I didn't. There is nothing I can do can change that. So I guess the question now is am I still welcome or not?" I knew that I would be sticking around no matter what and as much as I would hate to go back to the boredom that is watching I cared about both of them. John I had no problem with his soul being dragged to hell. And that was when the idea struck me. Maybe I could break John to the point that he would break the first seal. Then putting a stop to this stupid battle royal. They made a plan with me on the back burner. I didn't know who to be more pissed with Azazel or Dad. I would train Sam. But to do so properly I would have to a get Gabriel on board, b I would have to find a way to hide Sam's grace, and c I would have to get him away from Dean. My thoughts were cut off by Sam.
"Astrid I get that you were afraid but we are in this together," he reassured ne.
"Alright let's get some shut eye before we hit the road tomorrow." Once they were both asleep I made sure they would stay as such. Then I went back to Gabriel's house. He was sitting the black leather couch reading some book.
"What's happen now?" he asked not looking up from the book.
"You make it sound like I only show up for business or when something go terribly wrong. Can't a girl just appear randomly at her favorite uncle's place no questions ask?" I asked after sitting in the matching chair sideways, legs over the armrest.
"With you in recent years? No way in hell."
"True, true. I have a plan. It will make sure Sam doesn't end up accidently getting exposed or killed by demons. But you ain't gonna like it." I paused for a second to see if he would respond but all I gout was him looking up from his book. "Sam is an adult. It's time to give him the choice. He has the right to know what he is, who you are. Look we can hook him up with one of those bracelets that make him look human. But if you allow me to do this then I will be able to work towards releasing my Dad. I know that we should be trying to hold off the apocalypse for as long as we can but we can't hold it off forever. I say it is better that it happens on are terms then on Michael's. I truly believe I can break John so he will break the first seal. Sam needs to know before that first seal is broken."
"I know." He mumbled.
"So how do you want to play this? I can see two possible options that would have the least likely chance to back fire. Both involve me getting him away from Dean then telling him. Dean can't know at least not yet if ever. Thought the question after that is when do you want to get involved?"
"You know that we both can't just drop off the face of the earth. People just assume you are in Hel but I can't just disappear like that. Someone would see it as odd." He was right of course. I can do the whole disappearing act because there have been times that I spent years with not a word. Loki was different. He would go to the parties, would almost constantly be up to something. I was well know and to a lot of deities recognizable I was known to barely show up when my pretense was needed. There was truly a small group that could deal with me but most of those people were just as hard to deal with.
"Alright how much do you want me to tell him about you cause he will want answers."
"Just tell him the truth. Though you may want to leave out who your Dad is out of it," he suggested.
"I was planning on it. I'm going to have him distrusting and angry of me enough without mentioning that Lucifer is my dad. But if you agree with that I would like to ask one question before I leave to talk to bitch one and bitch two. Why are you all of the sudden agreeing with me that Sam needs to know? Less then two weeks ago you were fully against the thought so what changed your mind?" I questioned.
"Cause I know how much an angel can throw logic to the wind when it comes to their kids." I knew what he wasn't saying. The war that lead to Dad being locked away lasted a lot longer then most people think. Things were pretty much the same till the point of Cain. My Dad just wanted the mark gone but then Michael came for him. He was able to hide for a time but then me and my twin came along. No mother, it was just the three of us and uncle Gabe. We stayed safe for fourteen years. Then well Dad was out Michael broke the wards. He went into a fight blind in a hopes to save us. It didn't work.
"Alright then I will text you once I know more and if I'm successful in getting these demons to fall to my plans and don't worry I have no intention of telling them the truth." I then left to talk to Azazel at my penthouse in LA.
"Riva you wished to speak with me." He said. I then sat down and snapped up a glass of red wine and putting my boots on the table. I signaled for him to sit.
"Yes. I know that most of this plan was mostly you and Lilith. Sam is the one we need and I know that you were just following orders and keeping me out of it because I wanted some time off. But I'm back in the game now and I have looked at the file and the whole plan. It is a good plan but now that you have someone that is not just a non-demon but has the trust of the vessel. I can open that gate and close it whenever we need to but before we even think about that we need to break John and drive a wedge between the brothers. The Croatoan virus could work if he is immune as you say but if you are wrong it could destroy everything so make absolutely sure that this is the case. When we do drive that wedge in I will slowly get him hooked on demon blood meaning I will need some but we can get a low level loyalist to drain some traitor. Then I will work on John after that as I feel like it would be best to have Sam somewhat hooked before we break the first seal. So what are your take on my plan? And please give me your honest opinion." I told him.
"It does sound like it would be quicker but what do we do with the others?" He questioned.
"Most of them I say we keep topside, let them cause chaos. I will take out the ones that could mess with are plans but I see no reason to get rid of them. So once you are sure that it won't kill Sam then send me a message and I will set it up. Doing something like this in the real world could draw unwanted attention. I know a guy that set us up a pocket demission. Plus it would be way easier to clean up. We don't want pure chaos, not yet anyway." I had absolutely no intent to use the virus but that was not something he need to know. Then I was back in the hotel and got a few hours of sleep before waking the boys.
