Hai!
Alright let me just quickly say: sorry for taking forever, but I kind of got bored of this story so I kind of left it alone. But lately my interest in it has been sparked again and now I`m pumped and ready to get through it, so expect chapters on a weekly basis. (Hopefully I`ll be able to do weekly updates x3)
Anyways, onto the chapter itself. There is seriously a lot of plot development in there, and some of you will be able to figure it out, and some of you won`t... but keep your eyes open; maybe you`ll see it? Unfortunately though, everyone may be a little out of character in this chapter, and that`s mostly because it`s been a while since I`ve touched this story so it will take me a while to get into their characters again.
Anyways be sure to review because I swear they really motivate me to update faster, and I just love hearing what you guys have to say. So please leave me one, they`re super encouraging!
Disclaimer: I don`t own Supernatural... yeah that`s all I have to say this time.
Enjoy my darlings C:

Quinn
"Is that natural?" Dean asked, his eyes glued to the TV screen as Sam folded his arms, his posture rigid and his expression worried.
"It doesn`t look natural." Sam concluded, glancing at me and Castiel; who were seated beside Dean "What do you think Cas?"
"I`m not sure..." the angel shrugged, his attention returning to the screen. Quietly, I grabbed the remote and turned the volume up.
'Strange weather phenomena's have appeared all over the states' the news reporter explained 'from tsunamis in Oregon to multiple tornadoes in Ohio. There`s even been reports of acidic rain in New York, and earthquakes along the south coast. With hell breaking loose among the streets, this news reporter can`t help but wonder if the end is truly near. Back to you Judy.'
Dean quickly grabbed the remote and turned it off before throwing it across the room. With a firm scowl on his face, he stood up and kicked at the wall.
"Dammit!" he growled "I knew we shouldn`t have just left him alone. Look what he`s doing!"
"He?" I repeated.
"Freaking Satan of course." Dean replied as Sam got up to calm him down "We should have been more focused on taking him out, look what he`s done now!"
"We can`t be sure it`s him?" I muttered, trying to defend Ella more then Lucifer.
"Who else do we know that`s capable of this?" Dean grumbled "That son of a bitch."
"He`s right Quinn, this has Lucifer written all over it." Sam sighed.
I got up right then and walked out of the room and into the hallway without another word. I felt so frustrated, what was I supposed to do? What was I supposed to say? They were right; this did have the devil written all over it. Besides, who else did we know that`s capable of that?
It`s just that the last time we went after him, I ended up hurting my most dearest friend. I don`t want to do that again.
"Quinn?"
I glanced back to see Castiel exiting the room too before walking down the hall towards me.
"Are you alright?" he asked, and I rolled my eyes.
"No Cas." I stated matter-of-factly "I am not alright."
"I don`t understand why." he furrowed his eyebrows "Are you worried about the civilians?"
"No it`s not that..." I shook my head "I don`t want the guys to go after Lucifer again. Remember the last time they did that? Ella was so hurt."
"Well, we can`t do nothing." the angel sighed sympathetically "She should understand our reasoning, we can`t stand by while he destroys the states."
"But that`s the thing, Ella would never let him do that; she`s supposed to be keeping him in check. Just give me a little time, let me go see her and figure this out. Something must be wrong, because I know she wouldn`t let him do this."
"I don`t think it`s wise to go see her, not in this weather."
"Then come with."
"Alright... where is it?"
"Oh... uh... well-"
Ella
Okay I won`t lie; Metatron knows how to treat a prisoner.
I had a nice lounge-like room all to myself, there was a huge flat screen, posh bean-bags, a fridge full of food and the best part; WI-FI! I was actually on a laptop at the moment, having internet connection didn`t bother him since I had no idea where I was and there really was no way for me to communicate with Lucifer using WI-FI. So obviously I did the smart thing in this situation; went on Youtube and killed a few hours.
Hey, if I`m going to be a prisoner; why bore myself to death?
"You seem comfortable..." Gadreel muttered as he entered the room, exchanging glances with the guard at the door before peering down at my laptop screen "Must say I expected more resistance."
"Don`t worry Gad, I hate you with a burning passion." I replied absent-mindedly, too focused on the computer screen.
"Gad..." he raised an eyebrow "Metatron insists I continue to check up on you, he`s concerned that you`ll somehow manage to escape. Personally I think he gives you too much credit, but then again a human so close to the devil must be dangerous."
"Yeah I`m terrifying." I mutter nonchalantly.
"But do not underestimate me! I will not fall victim to the devils tricks again, he may have fooled me once in heaven, but not this time! I have grown wiser and stronger, I am now a follower of justice and all things good. And unlike him, my fall from heaven will only be temporary! You will never be able to fool me! NEVER!"
"Cool, cool." I turned up the volume on the video.
"I`m glad you understand." he smiled triumphantly, adjusting his jacket before glancing back at the doors which were suddenly opening. Curiously, I placed my laptop down to see Metatron walking in with a smug smile.
"I admit I was uncertain if you were the right person." he began to speak "After a few hours of holding you up in here, I expected Lucifer to react; but nothing happened. Finally it seems he has realized his situation." the scribe grabbed the television remote, which was lying on the bean bag opposite to me, and turned on the TV.
Instantly the news channel popped up, and a weather woman began to talk about natural disasters. There was video footage behind her displaying quakes to hurricanes to blizzards. Well at least he managed to hold back for a while, but I guess in the end he gave in to his temper.
"If I were you, I`d be pretty terrified." I scoffed, shooting Metatron a glare.
"There`s no need for that." the scribe smiled proudly "He wouldn`t hurt me, not if I have you."
"Nah, I`m pretty sure he`ll still hurt you." I challenged "Do you really think you`ll be able to blackmail him? Once he knows what you`ve done, he`ll kill you, zap over here, kill all your associates, and then take me for ice cream; all under six seconds."
"Please, have a little faith in my capabilities." Metatron turned off the TV before turning his attention back to me "Love is such a disadvantage, no? It seems this will be the second time the devil will fall because of loving something too much."
"Go to hell." I muttered.
"On the bright side." he ignored me "If everything goes according to plan, you won`t have to worry about your relationship. Once you see what I make him do, there`s no way you`ll be able to love him. It would be a rather tragic twist to such a fascinating love story. Hmm... I`ll have to keep this in mind if I ever decide to write a romance novel."
As he walked away, I glanced up at Gadreel who looked just as worried as me.
"Seems like Metatron wants to work with the devil." I sat up straighter "That doesn`t sound very noble and just."
"Silence." Gadreel clenched his fist "He knows what he`s doing, this is all for the greater good."
"What greater good." I mumbled, turning back to my laptop. I could feel Gadreels eyes following me as I laid back on the beanbag with the laptop in my lap as I quickly typed into the search bar.
"You don`t seem at all worried about this." he noted.
"As ironic as it is: I`ve got faith." I managed a smirk "As I said before, once Lucifer finds out, and he will; then Metatron has six seconds."
"Well then, it`s good that I have faith too."
Lucifer C:
"LUCY PLEASE CALM DOWN!" Gadreel yelled from where he was lying on the floor. Kayel was by his side, trying to help the archangel onto his feet, not that it mattered. I`d just knock them down again. Well that is what we`ve been doing for the past hour. I couldn`t help myself. My rage had me bursting with limitless power, and oh lord was it hard to keep in. There was a dark aura all around me, and my eyes were an intense glowing black. I could probably crack the world in half with a flick of my wrist, and it was becoming difficult not too.
"I`m so sick of this!" I complained and my voice came out like a demonic roar "All I wanted was a somewhat nice, fairly normal life with a somewhat nice, fairly normal girl! But noooooooo! Something like this always has to happen. What did I do to deserve this!?"
"Well-" Kayel began to speak but I shot him a challenging glare. The angel went quiet immediately, his eyes sinking to the ground as Gabriel finally managed to get onto his feet.
I snapped my fingers and he was thrown back onto the ground with a loud yelp.
"I don`t wanna hear what you have to say!" I concluded.
Suddenly the door bell rang.
Everyone froze as the atmosphere grew awkward. Should I answer that? Well probably... but look at me. I look pretty damn demonic right now... but what if it`s Ella?! No, I would`ve sensed her. Hmm, maybe I should just answer anyways? Or I could- the door suddenly flew open.
A little confused I glanced back to see two fairly familiar angels walk in.
"Ah, there you are."
"You`re Metatron." I noted.
"Yes, I am. Is this a bad time though? You seem... upset. Perhaps I should come back later?"
Well at least now I have something to pin all my rage against. Coyly I glanced at Gabriel and Kayel who both had nervous looks on their face, before turning back to Metatron and whoever that other angel behind him was.
"So would you prefer burning in hell fire or maybe I could turn your blood to ice?" I offered him the choice.
"Neither, I don`t think you`d want to hurt me." he smiled smugly and I decided right then that I hated his smile.
"Trust me I`d happily hurt anything right now." I growled, not holding back the power that as leaking through my aura.
"Well in that case I can`t guarantee the safety of your little human friend."
Well, this doesn`t surprise me.
"Where is she?" I asked, noting how my powers spiked.
"Hmm, I can`t seem to remember." Metatron scratched his head before glancing at the other angel. The two of them exchanged knowing glances before the angel zapped away. "My friend just went to check on her, he`ll make sure she stays safe."
"She better stay safe." I took a step forward "And you better take me to her. Now."
"No, I don`t think I will, and if I were you I wouldn`t risk her safety." the scribe smiled again "I`ve been around her for a rather short time, but I did notice something. There was a strange aura emanating from her, no doubt of that, but it wasn`t yours. Well I did sense you, but there was something else too. Something very, very new."
"What are you trying to say?"
"I`m saying, if you make a bad decision right now, you`ll be risking more then just her life."
"That`s impossible." Gabriel finally spoke "You`re not trying to say that she`s-"
"Yes I am." Metatron cut in "I`m as confused as you are though, she didn`t seem that powerful to me, but I definitely sensed something. But what`s a story without a few good plot twists, hmm?"
"You`re lying." Gabriel stated, and Metatron shrugged.
"Maybe I`m lying, maybe I`m telling the truth. Either way, it`s up to you to decide. Are you going to play it safe and do as I say, or are you going to be stupid and risk it?"
"What do you want..." I sighed.
"Let`s start by putting a lid on the apocalyptic weather. For now, at least."
It took me a moment, but I forced myself to calm down. My eyes regained their usual colour, and the atmosphere began to grow quiet as everything settled.
"Thank you." he said slyly "Now then, here`s how this is going to work, you help me out with my little plans and you`ll be reunited with your human in no time. Oh and don`t worry too much about her, she`s being well cared for her."
"I want to see her now." I spoke fairly calmly.
"So you can just grab her and zap away?"
"No, no I`d never do that." I retorted "So I can grab her, kill you slowly, then zap away."
"Ah, I see." he glanced at the door way for a moment before turning back to me "Well unfortunately I don`t think I can arrange that." he reached into his pocket and pulled out a piece of paper "Here`s your first assignment." he dropped the paper "I`ll come back around to give you your next one." and on that note he disappeared.
"You`re not actually going to do what he says?!" Gabriel asked as I walked over and picked up the paper, quickly reading over it.
"What choice do I have." I muttered.
"Well any choice would have been better then obeying him so mindlessly." Gabriel scoffed "Since when are you so obedient anyways?!"
"You heard what he said Gabe." I toyed with the paper for a moment "I can`t be sure about anything anymore."
"Metatrons lying to you!" he argued "What he was saying is impossible, there`s no way Ella could be-"
"It doesn`t matter." I snapped, I didn`t wanna hear him say it.
"Yes it does. You can`t go around doing whatever he says. What the hell does that paper say anyways?"
"It`s just a name." I muttered, handing it over to him.
He read it over once before his eyes widened: "You`re not actually going to follow his orders are you?"
"I have too."
Gabriel dropped the paper, and I didn`t blame him. Now it was lying face-up on the ground, the two words on it clearly visible: Kill Gabriel.
