How Soon is Now
Rowena found a way out of Hell, using a sigil she thought would do the trick. It didn't exactly open a portal to the location of her choice, and she wasn't even sure where she was, but it was good enough.
Her son was a fool to think that he could tell her to leave and there would be no consequences. He was ungrateful to everything she had done for him and there was nothing she could give him that was good enough. After a while, she just wanted him to vanish from her life and it was perfect, until he crowned himself King of Hell and made her his prisoner.
All she needed now was a confirmation that he was dead and life would be perfect again.
Rowena found refuge in a small cabin that hadn't been used in months. It was quiet and deep in the woods.
She had gathered all the ingredients she needed for the "Wings of Titania" spell. She had dirt, foreign herbs and bones all in a bowl. She had to erect the bones to create a structure that could withhold an object. She had a small piece of paper that contained Clara's signature, which wasn't quite an object belonging to her, but it was close enough. Rowena placed the piece of paper on the bones and once everything was set up perfectly, she tilted her head back and softly spoke the incantation.
"Wings of Titania, bear mine eyes aloft as I bid thee." She said, her eyes morphing into a smoky white as she could see Clara through a bird's blurry eye of view, so it would seem.
She could see Clara in an empty stretch of dirt road with open fields, holding a soul near to her with Nikolai not too far behind her. He seemed well, as if her spell had broken. Then, with frustration, she saw Crowley step up and grin at a man in a trench coat.
"What happened, Crowley? There was something that even the angels felt. What happened to Micah?" the man asked and Rowena watched as her son arched an eyebrow at him.
"Is that how you greet me?" he asked and then narrowed his eyes. "No wonder you don't have much friends. One question only and a 'How do you do?' wouldn't kill you." He said with a hint of sarcasm. The man didn't seem to care and glanced at Nikolai, Clara, then the shimmering soul with them.
"What –?" he began, but Crowley cut him off.
"I believe you've met Adam Milligan." He said and the man seemed shocked. "Clara will resurrect him, but you Castiel, need to heal him." he said and Castiel seemed shocked. He glanced at Crowley with a hard expression.
"I couldn't do that very well for Sam. What makes you think I can for Adam?" he asked and Crowley narrowed his eyes as if he didn't want questions, he wanted obedience.
"You'll do it." Crowley said and Castiel frowned, not appreciating that authoritative tone.
"If you can't, I'm sure Anne can." Clara said and the angel seemed somewhat shocked again.
"She's pregnant. This could harm her and the baby." Castiel said and Clara mocked his shocked expression.
"Really? I didn't notice from the last time I saw her." she said and then frowned. "Thank you, Captain Obliviously Simple, but Anne has a magic touch that you just don't have." She added and Castiel frowned at her. "She's my family; we help each other out. Now, are you helping or not?" she asked him and he didn't seem sure, but he looked at Adam with a hint of sadness.
"I'll do what I can." He replied and Crowley grinned.
"Good boy." He said and they all glanced at Clara as she held onto Adam, closing her eyes. The ground under them shook and began to open up. Something was rising to the surface and, at that moment, Adam's soul was sucked into the ground; it erupted ferociously and she bent down, grabbing someone's hand and pulling them up to the surface.
Adam in his physical form gasped for air. Castiel came to help him out of the ground and held him up as he processed the shock of being alive again. He glanced around and looked at Clara with wide eyes.
There was a distant look in his eyes and he seemed afraid.
"Is Anne still at the Men of Letters?" Clara asked and Castiel nodded his head. "Good. Race you." She said and they were gone, leaving Castiel to be the last to leave.
As Rowena was following Clara, the scenery changed and it was the interior of some war-time place with a flash of tile floors and furniture to fit an expensive library. Crowley and Nikolai stood next to Clara as a man walked into the room. He was rugged, but good-looking. He glared and advanced, looking more annoyed than afraid or angry. He obviously knew Clara and Crowley.
"What the Hell do you want, Crowley?" the man asked and Rowena watched as her son smirked.
"Hello, Squirrel." He said and the man flared his nostrils. "It's been too long." He added and the man balled his hands into fists.
"Not long enough, you mean." He replied and then another man walked into the room. This one was tall with longer hair. His jaw clenched and before he could say anything, Crowley greeted him.
"Moose." He said and the man narrowed his eyes.
"How many times are you going to show up?" he asked and Crowley gave a dark smile.
"I never pegged you as the type to tire of my visits." He said and the tall man just scowled. "I've actually come to return something of yours." He replied and both men exchanges glances. They didn't trust Crowley. It seems they have dealt with Rowena's son quite often.
"Like what?" the shorter one asked. "Heartburn?" he added. "Peace and quiet?" he added just before Crowley narrowed his eyes with a hint of annoyance.
At that moment, Castiel stepped in with Adam who seemed too traumatized to notice what was going on around him. When both men saw Adam, they were frozen in shock, but they quickly overcame it and rushed over to him.
"Adam?" the shorter one said. It was then that Rowena knew the two men were Sam and Dean, although she wasn't sure who was who.
"How…?" the taller one began as he glanced over at Crowley. Both brothers checked their youngest brother over, talking to him and asking him questions, but they realized that he was too distant. The two brothers glanced back at Crowley for some answers, but it was Clara who stood out with her smiling kindly at them.
At that moment, two women and another man stepped into the room, looking puzzled at the commotion. The youngest was pregnant and, although she didn't seem like a witch, she did radiate some power. So this was Clara's family… how interesting.
"I'll give you a 'Hell exclusive' to better explain." Clara began and told them all about the rebellion and Jesse Turner trying to free Lucifer. She even told them about Rowena, without mentioning she was Crowley's mother, and while giving very little detail. The only thing Clara really said was that Rowena worked with Jesse and she was highly untrustworthy. She went on to say that she noticed Adam's soul and knew he didn't deserve to stay in there.
While listening, it didn't seem that the brothers really cared for details. They just wanted to know how Clara got their brother out of the cage. It was at that moment that the anger in their eyes vanished.
Everyone stared at Adam in a saddened silence. They could see that he suffered greatly in Lucifer's cage and they began to wonder how he could ever be normal again.
"I can't get into his memories without him freaking out." Clara began and the Winchester brothers glared at her with anger. Was his trauma an inconvenience to her? "I need someone to calm him while I see what I can do. Then he'll need to heal." She concluded and Anne stepped up with a light smile of her glowing face.
"I could do that." She said and approached Adam with compassion in her eyes. "Hi Adam. I'm Anne and I'm going to help you." She said and it was only then that Adam lifted his eyes up to hers, actually looking at someone.
"This is an illusion." He said with fear in his voice, but when she touched his hands, he looked at her as if a nightmare had just been chased away.
"You're safe." She replied so softly that there seemed to be magic in her touch and her voice.
At that moment, Rowena was pulled from her out of body experience as the howls of Hellhounds ripped through the air. They weren't close, but they have found her. She had to act quickly or they could drag her back down to Hell.
And over her dead body she was going back.
Rowena quickly began preparing ingredients to a spell that could hide and protect her from the Hellhounds. She soon realized that her refuge could possibly be her prison. As well as it was out of Hell, she was fine with that.
And yes, I brought Adam back because Supernatural didn't. All love to Supernatural and the writers, but did they forget that they left a character in Lucifer's cage? I'm a little disappointed that in the mid-season 11 finale, we got so close, seeing Lucifer, but no Adam.
