After All

Keara clung to her mother's side, safely between Clara and Nikolai, staring at the creepy old angel in the circle of Hell fire. He spoke of another Cambion, one believed to have been the only one in existence. Keara looked up at her mom, analyzing that dark smile. She looked up at Nikolai, analyzing that fixed stern expression.

There was no way this creepy old angel was getting out of the circle of Hell fire.

"He was just a boy; but a boy that could make a drawing come to life by simply thinking about it. He grew powerful during the rise of the infamous fallen angel, the Prince of Hell." Metatron said and approached Clara as much as he could without being scorched by Hell fire. "If closing Heaven with me doesn't entice you enough, then why don't I tell you all about this Cambion boy? I think you'll find the information surprising." He concluded and the corner of his lips twisted up, making his grin resembled like that of the Cheshire Cat.

As Clara's dark eyes lingered on him, she couldn't help but wonder about Crowley's theory that the rebellious demons wanted Lucifer to take back the throne of Hell. Now, Metatron wanted her to make a deal so badly, he was spilling teasing details about a Cambion boy related to the rising of Lucifer, many years ago.

Clara smiled darkly, adding a spark in her eyes.

"You know, your daughter is a spitting image of you." Metatron said, looking at Keara with a twinkle in his eyes. Clara's smile diminished, not liking that he stared at her child.

"What about this Cambion boy?" she asked him and he looked up at her and his smile turned sinister.

"Only if you agree to my deal." He said and the expression in his eyes told her all she needed to know. This mention was very important and Clara knew why he brought it up. Although he was withholding information, she could sense something very devious.

"No one forces me into a deal." Clara said, just then thinking of how Crowley persisted she be his Queen. However, that was a different matter. "I will not close Heaven only because I don't care; angels pose no threat to me." she said and then smiled sweetly. "And if you're going to withhold information, do a better job." She said and the fire danced in her dark eyes once more.

"You won't get another peep out of me, no matter your strategy." He said as he grinned, putting his hands into his pockets. He seemed so proud and sure, but this is where Clara was about to prove him wrong.

"Some believe that in order to keep a secret, they must withhold the most important details, the ones that give it all away. It would appear that is true, but withholding details from a demon just isn't the same." Clara said as she approached the fire. Keara released her mother and clung onto Nikolai, watching with anticipation. "What you're not telling me is what I'm getting. I might not get all the details, but enough to know that this Cambion boy and Lucifer are in fact important to me, or else you wouldn't have confirmed it by mentioning it." she added and Metatron was losing confidence, despite maintaining his smile.

"I could help you." He said and she grinned.

"And how would you do that?" she asked and now he was beginning to look desperate.

"I could tell you everything." he said and Clara let out a dark chuckle.

"If I agree to close Heaven, which my answer is still no, Metatron." she said and lost all kindness in her face. "You are not useful to me." she said and he frowned, now seeming insulted.

"I have all the knowledge of God and I'm of no use?" he shouted and she grinned. "If everyone knew the knowledge I had, they'd do anything to get it. All come running to me when they know I have answers." He added and she yawned, which irritated him.

"And I have power. Others want it and run from me when they see it." she said and when she met his eyes, she blinked her eyes black; a dark void that seemed to suck Metatron in, realizing his fate was sealed. "I know you have failed in keeping Heaven closed. What makes you think it'll work again?" she asked him and his expression didn't change.

"You have no idea what you're in for." He replied dryly, as if trying to appear fearsome.

"I do, actually, but you don't." she said and turned to Nikolai with a wicked smile. "Care to do the honor?" she asked and when Nikolai smiled, Metatron seemed stricken with fear.

"I have a better idea." Said a familiar voice and when they all turned, Gabriel stood off to the side with a slightly trembling Micah. He grinned and winked at Keara.

"The last Archangel aiding Hell?" Metatron asked. "You would make your brother proud and shame your father." He added and Gabriel simply smiled at him. He nudged Micah to approach the demons and then tapped his shoulder when he was close enough. Gabriel closed the gap and whispered to Clara his plan.

Her lips curled into a wicked smile and she nodded in approval, meeting Nikolai's eyes with a sinister glimmer. Gabriel turned with that mischievous grin, looking at Micah, and then snapped his fingers.

At that moment, Metatron gasped and looked at Gabriel with disapproval and disgust.

"Just what do you think you can accomplish with this?" he asked and looked back at Micah. The trembling angel was confused, but when he glanced down at his feet, he was startled. He began touching his face and Gabriel conjured a compact mirror and gave it to him with a smirk. When Micah lifted it up, he froze as he stared at the reflection. Gabriel had transformed him into Metatron and whatever spell he used, it was powerful.

When he looked up, the demons smiled at him.

"Take Keara back home." Clara said and she tapped Gabriel on the shoulder. "We'll take it from here." She added with a dark smile.

Keara walked up to Gabriel, grabbed his hand and smiled up at him. Just before he could snap his fingers, she looked at Metatron and stuck out her tongue. When they vanished, Clara looked at Nikolai and he approached the circle of Hell fire, taking the First Blade out from his back.

He crossed the fire and Metatron tried to do something that could save him, but his powers were useless in this trap of Hell. He looked up with a saddened expression and closed his eyes.

"Oh Father, where art thou in Heaven?" he asked and Nikolai grinned.

"Didn't get the memo?" He asked and struck the First Blade with such speed that it pierced through Metatron so quickly that his body convulsed with shock. His grace flashed and flickered, then faded. Nikolai pulled out the First Blade and dropped his body without any remorse.

When he stepped out of the circle of Hell fire, it began to move inward towards Metatron's empty vessel and began to feed upon it. It grew larger and roared as it consumed the body, and when nothing remained, it vanished.

Clara glanced at the fear stricken Micah and glanced up at the cloudy sky with a smile. As Metatron's body burnt to a crisp in the Hell fire, she sensed that she was capable of seeing the information he wanted to keep from her. There was a link between Jesse Turner, Lucifer and the rebellion in Hell. The worst of all, was that Metatron was aiding Jesse. There was a plan about rebellious demons and angels attacking her and Keara, while Jesse frees Lucifer.

This angered her, but it pleased her as well, now that she knew everything.

"Oh angels, I have something that belongs to you. Come get him and consider it a peace offering, if you will." She said and she waited a few seconds while Nikolai pointed the First Blade at Micah, now disguised as Metatron. Finally, some angels hesitantly arrived in their clean suits and stone faces. Clara smiled sweetly at them and gestured to Micah who they saw as Metatron.

Nikolai placed the First Blade in his back once more, but kept his eyes on Micah.

"I believe this cockroach is yours." Clara said and turned to glance at Micah with a wicked grin. Nikolai nudged him forward and as he approached Clara, her lips curled back as she whispered. "This is better than killing you." She said and watched him as he approached his fellow angels.

As soon as they slapped some cuffs on his wrists, he tried to reason with them. Panic began to set in and he tried to convince them that he wasn't Metatron, but Micah.

Clara and Nikolai vanished as soon as the angels took possession of Micah to attend to more important things, such as Crowley's emergency meeting. He had sent everyone a text message telling them to join him in the office.
