The Rapture Part 2

Jimmy pushed Amelia and Claire into a utility room and began searching the shelves.

"Where is it?" Jimmy asked.

"Roger was your best friend." Amelia said.

"Roger was a demon, dammit." Jimmy replied. Jimmy found a bag of salt and poured it in a line across the doorway. "Don't cross this line!"

"Jimmy, you thought you were better, but you are so sick."

"Look, I am not crazy."

"You stay the hell away from us!" Amelia yelled.

"This is all very, very real." Jimmy assured.

"Stay the hell away from us!"

"Claire, sweetie—Jimmy started.

"No! Run. Leave her alone, I said." Amelia said.

While Jimmy and Amelia struggled, Claire ran out of the utility room. Jimmy broke free and went after her.

"Stay here." Jimmy said.

"Stay away from her." Amelia said.

"Claire!" Jimmy yelled.

Jimmy and Amelia ran out of the dining room, where Roger had Claire. He had a knife against her neck.

"Dammit." Jimmy said.

"Hey, pal. Told you I'd gut the bitch." Roger smirked.

"Roger." Amelia breathed.

"Daddy?" Claire asked.

"Just let her go, okay?" Jimmy asked.

"Now, me, I would, hut the missus, she has other ideas."

"No!" Amelia yelled.

"Daddy!" Claire yelled.

Mrs. Roger grabbed Jimmy and threw him to the ground. She punched him and then looked over her shoulder. Amelia saw that her eyes were black.

"Oh, my God." Amelia breathed. "No!"

Amelia jumped on Mrs. Roger, but was thrown back. Suddenly Dean appeared behind Roger and cut his throat with Ruby's knife, killing him. Mrs. Roger got up, but was quickly caught by Sam, who stretched out his hand and used his psychic abilities to begin exorcising her. Dean and Angela looked back at Sam.

"Go." Sam said. "Get the out of here."

"Go, go." Angela said.

Jimmy and Claire fled. Sam tried to exorcise Mrs. Roger, but was unsuccessful. Mrs. Roger smiled and approached him.

"Aw. Can't get it up, can you, Sam?"

Angela took Ruby's knife from Dean. "No, but I can."

Before Angela could stab her with Ruby's knife, the demon fled its host body. Dean grabbed Sam and Angela and they ran out to the Impala.

"Come on, come on, come on." Dean said.

~/~\~

Sam, Dean and Angela ran out to the Impala, where Jimmy and Claire waited.

"Thank god." Jimmy said.

"Where's your wife?" Dean asked.

"Right here." Amelia said.

"Let's go." Dean said.

They all crammed into the Impala, Claire having to sit on her mother's lap. They drove off.

~/~\~

Jimmy, Dean, Sam and Angela stood outside the Impala. Amelia and Claire sat together in the back seat of the Impala.

"You were right." Jimmy said.

"I'm sorry we were." Angela replied.

"I'm telling you, I don't know anything."

"I don't think they're inclined to believe you." Dean said.

"And even if they did, you're a vessel. They're still gonna wanna know what makes you tick." Sam added.

"Which means vivisection, if they're feeling generous." Dean said.

"I'm gonna tell you once again, you're putting you family in danger." Sam said. "You have to come with us."

"How long?" Jimmy asked. "And don't give me that 'cross that bridge when we get to it' crap."

"Don't you get it?" Sam asked. "Forever. The demons will never stop. You can never be with your family. So you either get as far away from them as possible or you put a bullet in your head. And that's how you keep your family safe. But there's no getting out and there's no going home."

"Well, don't sugarcoat it, Sam." Angela said.

"I'm just telling him the truth, Angie. Someone has to."

Jimmy opened the back door of the Impala and spoke to Amelia. Claire was asleep next to her.

"Hey. So I pretty much owe you the biggest apology ever." Amelia said.

"No, you don't."

"Yes, I do. I'm so sorry, Jimmy. And I will never, ever forgive myself for letting you walk out that door."

"Well, you did what any rational person would have done. I mean, hell, I thought I was crazy half the time."

"So demons, huh?" Amelia asked.

"Yeah." Jimmy nodded.

"Can we…? Can we ever go home, or…? What are we gonna do?"

"These three are gonna get you a car, don't ask me how, and you're gonna take Claire to Carl and Sally's as fast as you can." Jimmy said.

"Wait. What about you? No, I'm not going anywhere without you, Jimmy."

"Listen to me. Every moment that I'm with you, you and Claire are in danger."

"I don't care. We are not splitting up again."

"We don't have a choice."

"For how long?" Amelia asked.

"We'll cross that bridge when we get to it."

"We're a family."

"They will kill you, Amelia, and they'll kill Claire. You just have to get as far away from me as you can."

Jimmy and Amelia embraced while Dean and Angela watched. Sam hotwired a car while Amelia waited. Jimmy and Claire stood next to each other.

"Okay, so, uh, here's your car." Sam said.

"Hey. Take care of your mom, okay, bub?" Jimmy said to Claire.

"Okay." Claire nodded.

Jimmy got in the back of the Impala with Angela. Dean and Sam got in the front. They drove away while Amelia and Claire watched.

~/~\~

It was raining as Dean drove. Jimmy and Angela were asleep in the back, her head on Jimmy's shoulder.

"What the hell happened back there?" Dean asked.

"What?" Sam asked.

"You practically fainted trying to gank a demon."

"Okay, I didn't faint. I got a little dizzy."

"Well, you can call it whatever you want. Point is, you used to be strong enough to kill Alastair. Now you can't even kill a stunt demon number three?"

"What do you want me to say about it, Dean?"

"Well for starters, what's going on with your mojo? I mean, it's yo-yoing all over the place. I'm not trying to pick a fight here, okay? I just, you're scaring me, man."

"I'm scaring myself." Sam muttered.

Sam's cellphone rang and he answered it.

"Hello? Who is this?" he asked. "Hey it's your wife." He held the phone out to Jimmy.

Jimmy woke up, glanced at Angela who was still asleep on his shoulder and took the phone from Sam.

"Amelia?" Jimmy asked. "Oh, my God."

~/~\~

Jimmy, Dean, Sam and Angela got out the Impala.

"Alright, they're expecting you to come alone." Angela said. "That's exactly what you're gonna do."

"We'll work our way through the catwalks. We'll be right behind you."

"All you gotta do is stay calm and stall. Let us do our job." Angela said.

"You want me to stay calm?" Jimmy asked her. "This is my family we're talking about."

"Listen to me, this will work." Dean said. "You understand? Nobody's gonna get hurt."

"Yeah, whatever. Give me a minute, okay?"

Jimmy walked away from the three hunters, towards the warehouse.

"There's no way they're expecting him to come alone, guys. You know this is probably a trap." Sam said.

"Yeah, I know. That's why I have a plan." Dean said.

~/~\~

Jimmy walked towards the warehouse, shouting at the sky.

"Castiel, you son of a bitch!" he yelled. "You promised me my family would be okay. You promised you were gonna take care of them. I have you everything you asked me to give. I gave you more. This is the thanks I get? This is what you do? This is your heaven? Help me, please. You promised, Cas. Just help me."

Nobody answered and Jimmy shook his head.

"Typical." He scoffed.

Jimmy entered the warehouse. Amelia stood next to Claire, who was tied to a chair and unconscious.

"Hi, honey." Amelia smiled. "You're home."

"Listen, I'm, I'm begging you here. You do whatever you want with me, but my wife and daughter, they're just, they're not part of this."

"Oh, they're a big part of this, Jimmy. And P.S. You should've come alone."

"I am alone." Jimmy lied.

"Oh, you're such a liar. Like I didn't think you'd bring Heckle, Jeckle and their little bitch, hmm?"

Sam, Dean and Angela were led into the room by three demons that held them prisoner.

"Nice plan, Dean." Sam scoffed.

"Yeah, well, nobody bats 1,000." Dean replied.

"Got the knife?" Amelia asked.

The demon hold Sam held up Ruby's knife to show her.

"And you know what's funny?"

"You wearing a soccer mom?" Angela asked.

"Is I was actually bummed to get this detail, picking up an empty vessel. Sort of like a milk run. Now look who landed in my lap."

"Yeah, well, you got us, okay? Let these people go." Sam said.

"Oh, Sam." Amelia said. "It's easy to act chivalrous when your Wonder Girl powers aren't working, huh? Now for the punch line. Everybody dies."

Amelia held up a gun and shot Jimmy in the gut. He fell to his knees. Amelia turned to the demon holding Sam.

"Waste Little Orphan Annie." Amelia said.

Amelia left the room and the demon holding Angela also grabbed Sam. The demon that had been holding Sam before walked around Jimmy and towards Claire, who was still tied to a chair and unconscious. The demon picked up a pipe and swung it towards Claire, but she suddenly grabbed the pipe in one hand and placed the other hand on the demon's forehead. The demon screamed and he was exorcised in a bright light. Using the distraction, Sam, Dean and Angela turned on the demons holding them. While they struggled, Claire, who was now possessed by Castiel, burned away the ropes holding her. Jimmy lied on the ground, bleeding, and looked at her in horror.

"Castiel." Jimmy said.

Sam, Dean and Angela continued to fight the demons. Sam got Ruby's knife back from the female demon and held her down, staring at her neck. Dean and Angela were getting pummeled by the male demon, when Castiel placed her hand on his head, exorcising him. Sam cut the neck of the female demon and drank her blood. He turned, mouth still bloody, to see Dean, Castiel (still in Claire's body) and Angela watching him in horror. Sam turned back and stabbed the demon through the heart with Ruby's knife, killing her, and then turned back towards Dean, Castiel and Angela again. HE stood and held out his hand, just in time to catch Amelia and exorcise her with his recharged psychic powers. Dean held Amelia up and Castiel and Angela went over to Jimmy, who was dying from his gunshot wound. Angela knelt next to him.

"Of course we keep our promises." Castiel told Jimmy. "Of course you have our gratitude. You served us well. Your work is done. It's time to go home now. Your real home. You'll rest forever in the fields of the Lord. Rest now, Jimmy."

"No." he struggled. "Claire?"

"She's with me now. She's chosen. It's in her blood, as it was in yours."

"Please, Castiel. Me, just take me. Take me, please."

Dean, Sam and Amelia approached. Angela stood up and walked over to the three. They watched Castiel and Jimmy talk.

"I wanna make sure you understand. You won't die or age. If this last year was painful for you, picture 100, 1,000 more like it." Castiel said.

"It doesn't matter." Jimmy said. "You take me. Just take me."

"As you wish."

Castiel touched Jimmy's face and a bright light emanated from his eyes and mouth. Claire dropped to her hands and knees, and Castiel, now in Jimmy's body, stood up. He walked past Amelia and stood next to Sam, Dean and Angela. Amelia ran to Claire and embraced her. Amelia and Castiel's eyes met, and then he turned to go.

Angela turned and followed him. "Wait, Cas, hold up." She stopped him. "What were you gonna tell us?"

"I learned my lesson while I was away, Angela." Castiel turned to face her. "I serve heaven, I don't serve man, and I most certainly don't serve you."

Angela blinked a few times, hurt evident on her face.

Castiel turned his back to her and closed his eyes, sighing slightly. He immediately regretted saying that to her... He walked off, Dean, Sam and Angela watching.

~/~\~

Dean drove through the rain in silence.

"All right, let's hear it." Sam said.

"What?" Dean and Angela asked.

"Drop the bomb, guys. You saw what I did. Come on, stop the car, take a swing."

"I'm not gonna take a swing." Dean said.

"Then scream, chew me out." Sam replied.

"I'm not mad, Sam." Dean shrugged.

"Come on. You're not mad?"

"Nope."

Sam looked back at Angela.

She sighed. "Sure, I'm pissed at you, but whatever." She shrugged. "That's nothing new, Sam."

"Right. Look, at least let me explain myself." Sam said.

"Don't. I don't care." Dean said.

"You don't care?" Sam asked.

"What do you want Angie and I to say, that we're disappointed?" Dean asked. "Yeah, we are. But, mostly, I'm just tired, man. I'm done. I am just done."

Sam's cellphone rang. He answered it.

"Hey, Bobby." Sam said.

Bobby was leaving the panic room, a bed set up behind him.

"Hey, you, your brother and Angie better shag ass to my place ASAP."

"What's going on?" Sam asked.

"The apocalypse, genius. Now get your asses over here."

Sam hung up his phone.

"What'd he say?" Angela asked.

~/~\~

Bobby, Sam, Dean and Angela approached the door to the panic room.

"Well, thanks for shaking a tail." Bobby said.

"Yeah, you got it." Dean nodded.

Sam opened the door.

"Go inside. I wanna show you something." Bobby said.

Sam walked into the panic room while Dean, Bobby and Angela hung back.

"All right. So, uh, what's the big demon problem?" Sam asked.

"You are." Angela whispered. "This is for your own good."

Dean, Bobby and Angela closed and locked the door, and Sam walked to the barred window.

"Guys? Hey, hey. What?" Sam called.

Bobby closed and latched the window.

"This isn't funny. Guys! Hey! Guys?" Sam yelled.
