Heaven and Hell Part 1

"You want Anna?" Sam asked. "Why?"

"Out of the way." Uriel said.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa." Angela cut in. "Okay, I know she's wiretapping your angel chats or whatever, but it's no reason to gank her."

"Don't worry." Uriel snarked. "I'll kill her gentle."

"You're some heartless sons of bitches, you know that?" Angela glared.

"As a matter of fact, we are." Castiel replied. "And?"

"And?" Sam asked. "Anna's an innocent girl."

"She is far from innocent." Castiel replied.

"What's that supposed to mean?" Sam asked.

"It means she's worse than this abomination you've been screwing." Uriel replied. "Now give us the girl."

"Sorry." Dean said. "Get yourself another one. Try JDate."

"Who's gonna stop us? You three? Or this demon whore?" Uriel asked. He threw Ruby against the wall and Dean attacked him.

"Cas, stop… please." Sam pleaded.

Castiel touched Sam's forehead and he fell to the ground. Uriel punched Dean.

Angela looked at Cas, eyes narrowed. "Oh, you son of a—

Cas touched her forehead and she fell to the ground also.

"I've been waiting for this." Uriel said.

Suddenly a bright light engulfed Castiel and Uriel and they disappeared.

"What the…" Dean muttered. He helped Ruby to her feet. "Come on."

Ruby knelt by Sam and Dean knelt by Angela. They started stirring. Once Dean knew they were okay, he got into a back room and found Anna with her hands and arms covered in her own blood.

"Anna. Anna!" Dean said.

Anna had used her blood to draw sigils on a mirror.

"Are they, are they gone?" she asked.

"Did you kill them?" Dean questioned.

"No. I sent them away… far away."

"You want to tell me how?" Dean asked.

"That just popped in my head." She shrugged. "I don't know how I did it. I just did it."

~/~\~

"So, what do you think?" Dean asked.

"I think Anna's getting more interesting by the second." Angela replied.

"Yeah, I agree." Dean nodded. "And what did they mean by 'she's not innocent'?"

"It seems like they want her bad, and not just 'cause of the angel radio thing." Sam said. "I mean, that blood spell, some serious crap, man."

"Something's going on with her." Dean said. "See what you can find out."

"What are you two gonna do?" Sam asked.

"Anna may have sent the angels to the outfield, but, sooner or later, they're gonna be back. We got to get ourselves safe now." Angela said.

~/~\~

Anna was sitting in a chair in the panic room.

"Iron walls drenched in salt. Demons can't even touch the joint." Dean said.

Ruby was waiting outside the open door. "Which I find racist, by the way."

"Write your congressman." Dean replied.

"Here." Ruby said.

"Hex bags?" Angela asked.

"Extra-crunchy." Ruby nodded. "They'll hide us from angels, demons, all corners."

"Thanks, Ruby." Angela replied. She looked at Anna. "Don't lose this. So, Anna, what's playing on angel radio? Anything useful?"

"It's quiet. Dead silence."

"Good. That's not troubling at all." Dean said.

"We're in trouble, huh? You guys scared?" Anna asked.

"Nah." Dean said.

"Hey, Dean, Angie!" Sam called.

"Just stay here, okay?" Angela said. "Keep an eye on her." She told Ruby.

~/~\~

"How's the car?" Dean asked.

"I got her. She's fine." Sam replied. "Where's Bobby?"

"Uh, the Dominican." Angela replied. "He said we break anything, we buy it."

"He's working a job?" Sam asked.

"God, I hope so." Dean said. "Otherwise, he's at hedonism in a banana hammock and a trucker cap."

"Now that's seared in my brain." Sam muttered.

"All right, what did you find on Anna?" Dean asked.

"Uh, not much." Sam answered. "Her parents were, uh, Rich and Amy Milton, a church deacon and a housewife."

"Riveting." Angela said.

"Yeah." Sam nodded. "But there is something here in the report. Turns out this latest psych episode wasn't her first."

"No?" Dean raised a brow.

"When she was 2 ½, she'd get hysterical any time her dad got close." Sam replied. "She was convinced that he wasn't her real daddy."

"Who was?" Dean asked. "The plumber, hmm? A little snaking in the pipes?"

"Dude, you're confusing reality with porn again." Sam replied. "Look, Anna didn't say. She just kept repeating this real father of hers was mad. Very man, like wanted-to-kill-her mad."

"Kind of heavy for a 2-year-old." Angela said.

"Well, she saw a kid's shrink, got better, and grew up normal." Sam shrugged.

"Until now." Dean said. "So, what's she hiding?"

"Why don't you just ask me to my face?" Anna asked.

"Nice job watching her." Dean said.

"I'm watching her." Ruby defended.

"No, you're right, Anna." Sam said. "IS there anything you want to tell us?"

"About what?"

"The angels said you were guilty of something." He continued. "Why would they say that?"

"You tell me." She shrugged. "Tell me why my life has been leveled… why my parents are dead. I don't know. I swear. I would give anything to know."

"Okay. Then let's find out." Sam said.

"How?" Anna asked.

~/~\~

Dean was leading Pamela down the stairs.

"We're here!" Dean said.

Angela walked over and smiled. "Hey, Pam."

"Angie!" she exclaimed, hugging her.

Angie pulled away a few moments later.

"Pamela, hey!" Sam greeted.

"Sam?"

"It's me. It's Sam."

"Sam?"

"Yeah."

"Sam, is that you?"

"I'm right here."

"Oh. Know how I can tell?" she grabbed Sam's ass. "That perky little ass of yours. You could bounce a nickel off that thing. Of course I know it's you, grumpy. Same way I know that's a demon, and that poor girl's Anna, and that you've been eyeing my rack, and Angie is rolling her eyes."

"Uh… uh… uh…" Sam stammered.

"Don't sweat it, kiddo. I still got more senses than most."

"Got it."

"Hey, Anna." Pamela said. "How are you? I'm Pamela."

"Hi."

"Dean told me what's been going on. I'm excited to help."

"Oh. That's nice of you."

"Oh, well, not really. Any chance I can dick over an angel, I'm taking it."

"Why?" Anna asked.

"They stole something from me." She took off her sunglasses, revealing white eyes. "Demon-y, I know. But they're just plastic. Good for business. Makes me look extra-psychic, don't you think?" she laughed. "Now… how about you tell me what your deal is? Hmm? Don't you worry."

~/~\~

"Nice and relaxed." Pamela said. "Now, I'm going to count down from five to zero. When we're at zero, you'll be in a deep state of hypnosis. As I count down, just go deeper and deeper, okay? 5… 4… 3… 2… 1. Deep sleep. Deep sleep. Every muscle calm and relaxed. Can you hear me?"

"I can hear you."

"Now, Anna, tell me… how can you hear the angels? How did you work that spell?"

"I don't know. I just did."

"Your father… what's his name?"

"Rich Milton."

"All right. But I want you to look further back… when you were very young… just a couple of years old."

"I don't want to."

"It'll be okay." Anna assured. "Anna, just one look, that's all we need."

"No." Anna said.

"What's your dad's name? Your real dad. Why is he angry at you?"

"No, No! No." she screamed. "No!"

"Calm down."

She screamed. "He's gonna kill me!"

"Anna, you're safe." Pamela said.

She screamed. "No!" Anna yelled. The lights exploded and glass shattered.

"Calm down."

Anna screamed. "He's gonna kill me!"

"It's all right, Anna."

"Anna?" Dean asked, walking towards her.

"Dean, don't." Pamela warned.

Anna threw Dean across the room.

"Wake in 1, 2, 3, 4, 5." Pamela said. "Anna… Anna? Are you all right?"

"Thank you, Pamela. That helps a lot. I remember now."

"Remember what?" Sam asked.

"Who I am."

"I'll bite." Angela said. "Who are you?"

"I'm an angel."

~/~\~

"Don't be afraid, I'm not like the others." Anna said.

"I don't find that very reassuring." Ruby replied.

"Neither do I." Pamela agreed.

"So… Castiel, Uriel, they're the ones that came for me?"

"You know them?" Sam asked.

"We were kind of in the same foxhole."

"So, what, were they like your bosses or something?" Dean asked.

"Try the other way around."

"Look at you." Dean said.

"But now they want to kill you?" Pamela asked.

"Orders are orders." Anna shrugged. "I'm sure I have a death sentence on my head."

"Why?" Angela asked.

"I disobeyed… which, for is, is about the worst thing you can do. I fell."

"Meaning?" Dean asked.

"She fell to earth, became human." Pamela said.

"Wait a minute." Sam said. "I don't understand. So, angels can just become human?"

"It kind of hurts." Anna shrugged. "Try cutting your kidney out with a butter knife. That kind of hurt. I ripped out my grace."

"Come again?" Dean asked.

"My grace." Anna replied. "It's… energy. Hacked it out and fell. My mother, Amy, couldn't get pregnant. Always called me her little miracle. She had no idea how right she was."

"So, you just forgot that you were God's little Power Ranger?" Dean asked.

"The older I got, the long I was human, yeah."

"I don't think you all appreciate how completely screwed we are." Ruby said.

"Ruby's right." Anna agreed. "Heaven wants me dead."

"And Hell just wants her." Ruby replied. "A flesh and blood angel that you can question, torture, that bleeds. Sister, you're the Stanley Cup. And sooner or later, Heaven or Hell, they're gonna find you."

"I know. And that's why I'm gonna get it back."

"What?" Angela asked.

"My grace."

"You can do that?" Dean asked.

"If I can find it."

"So, what, you're just gonna take some divine bong hit, and shazam, you're Roma Downey?"

"Something like that."

"All right." Dean nodded. "I like this plan. So, where's this grace of yours?"

"Lost track. I was falling about 10,000 miles per hour at the time."

"Wait." Sam cut in. "You mean falling, like, literally?"

"Yes." Anna nodded.

"Like the way a human eye can see?" Sam asked. "Like a comet, maybe, or a meteor?"

"Why do you ask?" Anna asked.

~/~\~

Sam was surrounded by books and old magazines.

"Here." Sam said. "In March '85, a meteorite vanished in the night sky over northwestern Ohio. It was sighted nine months before Anna was born in that part of Ohio."

"You're pretty buff for a nerd." Ruby commented.

"Look, I think it was Anna and here, same time, another meteor over Kentucky." Sam said.

"And that's her grace?" Ruby asked.

"Might be."

"All right. That just narrows it down to an entire state."

"Look, it's a start."

"Sam… I'm sorry." Ruby said.

"For what?"

"For bringing you this mess. If I had known, I would have kept my trap shut."

"Yeah, well, we'll muddle through."

"Not this time. You do not want to get between these two armies. It's Godzilla and Mothra. If one side doesn't get us, the other one will."

"So, what do you want to do?" Sam asked. "Dump Anna and run? Forget it. Look, I know the angels freak you out."

"Forget the angels." Ruby replied. "It's Alastair I'm scared of."

"Alastair?"

"You met him in the church. Practically the grand inquisitor downstairs. Picasso with a razor."

"And?" Sam asked.

"And you should pull him out and throw him back in the pit… if you weren't so out of shape."

"Ruby…"

"No, your abilities, you're getting flabby."

"Yeah, so how do I tone up?"

"You know how." Ruby said. "You know what you got to do."

"No, I'm not doing that anymore." Sam replied.

"Sam…"

"I said no."

"Well, then you better pray that Anna gets her groove back, or we're all dead."

~/~\~

"Pamela get home okay?" Anna asked.

"Yeah." Angela nodded. "She said she was sorry. It's just after last time, she, uh… this is just a little too rich for her blood."

"I don't blame her. You guys should do the same."

"Well, we're not that smart." Dean replied. "Can I ask you something? What do they want me for? Why did they save me?"

"I'm sorry. The angels aren't talking about it. And it was after I fell."

"That's another question." Angela commented. "Why would you fall?"

"Yeah, why would you want to be one of us?" Dean asked.

"You don't mean that." Anna said.

"We don't?" Angela asked. "A bunch of, of miserable bastards… eating, crapping, confused, afraid."

"I don't know." Anna shrugged. "There's loyalty…. Forgiveness… love."

"Pain." Dean said.

"Chocolate cake." Anna countered.

"Guilt." Angela replied.

"Sex." Anna said.

Dean looked at Angela and sighed. "Yeah, she's got us there."

"I mean it." Anna said. "Every emotion, guys, even the bad ones… it's why I fell. It's why… why I'd give anything not to have to go back. Anything."

"Feelings are overrated, if you as me." Angela muttered.

"Beats being an angel."

"How's that possible?" Dean asked. "You guys are powerful and perfect. You don't doubt yourselves or God or anything."

"Perfect… like a marble statue." Anna said. "Cold… no choice… only obedience. Do you know how many angels have actually seen God? Seen his face?"

"All of you?" Dean asked.

"Four angels. Four. And I'm not one of them."

"That's it?" Angela asked. "Well, then how do you even know that there is a God?"

"We have to take it on faith… which we're killed if we don't have."

"Huh." Dean said.

"I was stationed on earth 2,000 years. Just… watching… silent… invisible… out on the road… sick for home… waiting on orders from an unknowable father I can't begin to understand. So don't tell me that—

Dean laughed.

"What is so funny? What?"

"Nothing. Sorry." Dean replied. "It's just… I can relate."

"Hey." Sam said.

"Did you find something?" Angela asked.

"I think so."

~/~\~

"Union, Kentucky." Sam said. "Found some accounts of a local miracle."

"Yeah?" Angela asked.

"Yeah. In '85, there was an empty field outside of town. Six months later, there was a full-grown oak. They say it looks a century old at least."

"Anna, what do you think?" Dean asked.

"The grace. Where it hit, it could have done something like that, easy."

"So grace ground zero, it's not destruction." Dean replied. "It's…

"Pure creation."

~/~\~

Dean was driving. Sam was beside him, and Anna, Ruby and Angela were at the backseat. Dean looked in the review mirror and laughed.

"What?" Ruby asked.

"Nothing." Dean said. "It's just an angel, a demon and a hunter riding in the backseat. It's like the setup to a bad joke… or a Penthouse Forum Letter."

"Dude… reality… porn." Sam said.

"You call this reality?" Dean asked.

~/~\~

"It's beautiful." Angela murmured.

"It's where the grace touched down. I can feel it."

"You ready to do this?" Dean asked.

"Not really."

"Anna, what are we even looking for?" Sam asked.

Anna put her hand on the tree trunk. "It doesn't matter. It's not here. Not anymore. Someone took it."

A/N: Hey guys, sorry I didn't post last night! I had theater camp for 7 hours and then soccer for 2 hours and then I had dinner and just passed out asleep. I won't be posting Saturday because I'm going on a family camping trip. Anyway, hope you liked the chapter!

I do want to do something with Cas/Angie because that's something that has interested me for a while, so I am trying to figure something out. ;)

Don't forget to review, review, review! Love you guys!
