Sam was in the Mustang looking for 'Dean.' He was gone. 'Dammit!' He had Dean exactly where he wanted. Now he's gone. Last place he checked, P3, Bela and the staff denied seeing him. He even checked the security footage, there was no Dean. Now what?
Paige aka Ivy and Dean aka Diana were currently on a hunt. The Underworld of all places. This was the Underworld? It was beautiful. Wow. Everything up on Earth was normal, but this place. It was something else.
Healthy green grass, clear sparkling water. If this was Eden, Dean would live here. There was even a fake sun. The air here was crisp and healthy. Dean asked Paige why this place was the way it was, Paige just says the Princes of Hell, have a certain aesthetic. Demons that cared about nature.
"Who are we looking for." Diana asks.
"A Knight of Hell. She hides here, guarding her masters, Lilith and Cain." Ivy answers back in a snarky tone.
"Why doesn't Michael kill her himself?"
"He needs her. Don't know why, her fellow Knight is stronger and more effective. But he's hard to find."
"Who?"
Before Ivy can answer, they were thrown across the fake field. They saw a beautiful red haired woman wearing a old fashioned grey gown, clearly from the 50s. She was glaring at the warlock and hunter.
"Well, well. Look who we have here. A warlock, and her friend. Looks like things just got interesting."
Diana wanted nothing more than to stab the demon, but she couldn't move. Lucky for her, Ivy orbed away and stabbed the demon in the back with her angel blade.
"Dean! Run!"
Paige grabs Dean and runs. She could orb, but was afraid Michael would track her down easily. Leaving the demon behind, they ran into a portal and went to the surface.
"The hell?"
"What the fuck was that?"
"Abaddon. One of the cruelest creatures that exists. Not just an ordinary demon, angel blades, and Ruby's Knife won't destroy her."
"What will?" Dean asks.
"I don't know. If we shoot her with a certain bullet, we can contain her. But we need her."
"Why?"
"So we can kill Michael. Her, Cain and Lilith. All three combined will weaken Michael. Than Grace can use her powers to kill him."
"Doubt that Grace can or want to kill her dad." Dean knew she wouldn't. Besides he couldn't help but wonder what Bela said. Michael is creating a bomb to kill God. Dean knew little about God, except what what is said in the Bible. Why God is destroying Creation, Dean had no clue. But if killing God can save the world, Dean will gladly help. That probably why his counterpart said yes.
"Dean. Michael is evil. I'm glad Lucifer is gone, hopefully dead, but once he's gone too, the world will return to normal."
"What about God. You know He's destroying Creation. My world, your world. It's on a ticking clock. I hate to say this, but you should wait. The archangels in my world is teaming up with Heaven and Hell to kill God."
Paige scoffs. But says nothing. They leave in a stolen car.
A day later they arrive in Lebanon, Kansas.
"Why are we here?"
"Men of Letters."
"FUCK NO." Dean shudders.
"Got a better suggestion?"
Dean says nothing.
"Beggers can't be choosers. Henry Winchester was the only living survivor of the American Branch. Before he died, he was training his son John to take over. But before John could take his final vows, Henry was murdered. The Men of Letters base is now abandoned. There is one member left, Cuthbert Sinclair. He is a skilled magician. Probably the best witch practitioner that ever lived. He disappeared sometime in 1956. There has been sightings though. Dean, if you need power, we need him."
"Cuthbert? What kind of names did my grandpa's generation pick? Anyways how do we know this guys legit?"
"I don't know. But he is in the Book. He may have changed his look since then. Dean, be careful."
Dean follows Paige as she takes them to a bunker. Paige swears when she realized the door was locked.
"Dammit. I don't have a key."
"Because the doors locked, sweetheart."
When Dean and Paige turn around they seen a young guy dressed in old fashioned clothes probably from the 50s. He was holding a gold pocket watch. Checking the time, he looked startled when he saw Dean, but quickly went back to his amused look.
"Paige Matthews, good to see you again." He says looking at Paige in a lustful way.
Paige rolls her eyes. "Nice try, Cuthbert. Our relationship is finito."
"Can't blame a guy for trying. Dean Winchester. Wow, you grew since the last time I saw you. A snot faced four year old. Last I heard you gave your consent to Michael."
Dean scoffs at him. Already he hated this guy. Being a skilled magician, he most likely could see right through their magical disguises, but when he looked down on himself, he was relieved to see her was in his male body again. Thankfully, he was in his old clothes. The last outfit he wore, it was pretty tight.
"Cuthbert, we need your help."
"Paige, you don't need to ask. Come in. He gestures to thin air.
Dean looked at him like a crazy person. 'Huh?'
Paige follows Cuthbert, the both disappear in thin air.
'What the..' Before Dean could react, Paige yanks him inside.
Dean was blinking at his surroundings. Where were they? Cuthbert must have read his mind, he answered.
"The safest place on Earth. Sinclair manor."
"Yeah yeah. You got lucky Cuthbert. You only cast this spell to avoid paying taxes."
"At first. But being here is the best place to be. Here, time stops. I can leave a raw steak here and it will still be fresh as the day I bought it - two years later."
Dean couldn't help but gag at the mental image. Cuthbert smirks at Dean. "You live on the surface world too much. You would think Michael taught you a spell or too."
"Who gives a shit. Yo, we need help."
"So impatient. Paige. Never change."
Paige rolls her eyes. Why did she ever go out with him? She dumped Henry for him. Ugh.
"Well, how can I help you?"
"Cuthbert. We need to free some people. A lot. An archangel is holding them hostage."
"Raphael. Hmph. Never liked her. Dean, you have Michael inside of you, why can't you command him to force Raphael to free them? Or is it because you are not the Dean of this world, but another. Yes. I know. We been waiting for you."
"We? Cuthbert. The hell are you talking about?" Paige demanded. When she saw who orbed in, she couldn't believe it.
"Well, well. Look it is my beloved. Paige. So glad you came to your senses and dumped that classless boor, Henry."
Dean couldn't help but feel sorry for the guy. The Paige he knew was a badass, but this Paige was ready to kill him. Dean had to stop her, a bow appeared in her hand. He yanked her arms away, luckily the guy orbed away in time.
"Still playing hard to get. Paige, once we are wed, our children will be legacies of the Men of Letters."
"Excuse me who are you?" Dean demanded. He thought Cuthbert was a douche, but this guy was worse.
"Oh where are my manners. Simon Marks. Proud member of the Men of Letters, British Division. Only Dark Lighter/Warlock agent. And you are..." He bowed.
Paige walks up to Dean and wraps her arms around him. Dean stiffened, but understood what Paige was doing.
"Dean Winchester. My boyfriend." She says squeezing Dean while holding him closer.
Simon immediately went pale. "I'm...excuse me. Sir. Ahem. Forgive me." Thinking Dean was Michael. Dean smirked and held Paige closer. Simon made up a excuse that his water for his tea was boiling over.
Cuthbert was watching with an amused expression. He knew of Simon's crush on Paige. He still didn't know that he and Paige were sleeping together. The rules of the Code. Every man for himself. He knew why they were here and it wasn't because of those passengers.
"Now. Would you like some tea and biscuits?" Cuthbert says gesturing to a plate of snacks that appeared in front of them.
Dean and Paige shook their heads. Even if Dean was hungry, those cookies may be over sixty years old.
"Down to business then. Those people, they are safe. The angels, they want them gone. Despite what you think about Michael, he actually cares about this world. Yeah, hard to believe isn't it?" Seeing Paige's and Dean's expressions. ''He saw what God is doing. He told me. Your sister, Phoebe Halliwell, she has the gift. Premonition. Too bad all of you refused to be in the Order. Can't say I blame you, I quit myself."
''You mean expelled." Paige deadpans.
"Anyway, after Michael took care of Lucifer, ending his rule, he waited for God's instructions. You know what happened? Nothing. Of course Michael was crushed, heartbroken that his Father abandoned him. When he dug deeper, oh boy. His destiny, our existence. We are nothing but characters in a book. Not just any book, but a series. God, He is nothing but a Writer. Us, mere words in a blank page of paper." Seeing Dean's and Paige's expression, and by extension, Simon, who already knew, was speechless. Cuthbert's face softened. "I'm sorry. You read Revelations. 'When the Beast Falls, is when Paradise begins, All will be One. Angels, humans, demons, we will all be One with God.' Empty promises."
Characters in a story? Is that why God is ending everything? His Worlds, His Drafts? Why? If their world is nothing but Drafts, then there has to be a First Draft. Before Dean could say anything, his thoughts were interrupted by Simon.
"Sir, the crystal is done."
"Thank you Simon. Dean, I'm sorry for this. Paige. If you will.''
Paige looks apologetic. 'I'm sorry.' She mouthed. Then her, Cuthbert, and Simon disappear. Dean then realized, this was a trap. Fuck! He should have never trusted a warlock.
The monsters came a few seconds later. Dean was fending off countless vampires, werewolves and other nasty things. He was given a weapon, thank god. But after a few minutes, realized he needed help. Thankfully, help came.
Ellen.
Castiel, Hannah and Anael were currently on the road, looking for the escaped citizen of Purgatory. They already had Anael's blood, plus the blood of a virgin. Sister Mahias was glad to give her blood, especially after they burnt the painting of the vengeful spirit of Isabella, who unfairly blamed Castiel for forcing Jimmy Novak to walk out on his marriage, not caring he was an angel. Even though she had no clue how to kill a angel. Even with Anael showing off her wings, she didn't relent. Sister Mathias bowed down to the three angels, with Hannah reminding her no one bows down to anyone but God.
Sister Mathias felt sorry for Isabella, but she was no longer human. She was a ghostly serial killer. She killed innocent men, including a priest. The men for having affairs, and the priest forgiving the men. Once the painting, and the treasures from Italy was destroyed, the ghost of Isabella went up in flames.
Sister Mathias prayed for her soul. Afterwards, she thanked the angels for putting her soul at rest. Anael offered to drive her fellow angels home, even though as an angel, she could fly. But she and Hannah got close, and liked having human friends, without the annoying humans. Both Castiel and Hannah changed a lot since they willingly ripped of their graces.
Hannah talked about nothing but her adopted foster kids, how much she missed Jack and Claire. Her and Castiel were discussing possibly having foster children later down the road, once the upcoming war ended. Castiel guessed it would be worse than any war the planet ever saw. No one will be spared, either being angel, demon, human, monster or god. None of them knew how their Creator is going to end this world.
Anael guessed it would be a great war. Castiel had hope that God will change His mind, Hannah was thinking it would be quick and painless. But whatever happened, all three vowed to stick together.
They were on their way to see fellow ex angel Anna. She said she had some news to share. When pressed, she said she needed to see Castiel in person. Castiel wasn't sure what she wanted, neither him or Hannah knew what Anna wanted to say. Neither did Anael. Even with them being friends, Anna changed a lot since she became human. Anael was worried. She hoped she wasn't in trouble with Uriel.
"You Wichesters, never stay out of trouble. Dean! Behind you!'' Dean moved out of the way just in time to see a changeling about to bite him. Guessing on how thin it was, its keeper starved it. Dean moved out of the way to see Ellen set it on fire. Dean killed a shapeshifter, it was about to turn into Dean. Nice try, Michael would kill it if it tried to impersonate him. A few minutes later, Dean and Ellen were breathing hard.
They heard applauding, Dean was ready to kill Cuthbert. Ellen looked pissed as well.
"Bravo, bravo! Dean, you passed my test. Now your prize. Simon if you please."
Dean and Ellen stiffened. Paige wasn't there, Dean assumed she took off when the fight started.
"Here you go. Don't be shy open it." Simon says putting down a wooden box.
Dean didn't trust him. What is in this thing? Seeing Dean didn't move, Cuthbert spoke up.
"Dean. I promise you no tricks. What's in this box will help you on your journey. What's in here was lost before time began. Archangels Lucifer and Michael spent centuries searching for it. Obtaining it wasn't easy. I had to kill most of the Styne Family to get it when they refused to sell it to me. I lost a kidney to those freaks. Thankfully before they can harvest the rest of me, Paige and her sisters slaughtered everyone in the operating room. Come on don't be shy."
Dean cautiously walked toward the box and slowly opened it. The treasure inside was wrapped in a linen shroud. What is this thing?
"A treasure. The most coveted treasure that exists in all of Creation. The lost Tablet of God. Well, a piece of it anyway. It was destroyed by the First War. Darkness vs Light."
The First War? The Tablet of God? Holy shit. What did Dean stumble on to?
Dr Visyak was currently hiding in Tibet. Paige Matthews warped her here. It wasn't easy, she knew the angels could easily track her down. Even with a Glamouring spell the angels could see right through her disguise. Thankfully she wasn't alone, former lover Bobby Singer was there with her.
"Eleanor, why hide who you were all this time. I would have protected you.'' Bobby says. He had a wife, but never found love for a second time till he met Eleanor in 1989. They started off as rivals. Eleanor and Bobby usually clashed about their lifestyles. Eleanor knew about Bobby's life as a hunter. When his wife died from a demon's hands, she gave him info about monsters, and how to kill them.
Bobby already knew what she was, after he caught her easily ripping apart a nest of vampires. These vampires were strong. Way stronger than any monster John, Rufus and him came across. They lost many hunters to these vampires. These vampires were enhanced. None of them knew why, not until they captured Dr Visyak.
After those vampires were killed, and after she freely surrendered, explained that they escaped from a alchemist's laboratory. Before they turned, they were former students of a doctor named Doctor Benton back in 1816. The doctor was kicked out if his residency the year before for torturing and harvesting organs from his patients. He didn't work alone, he was working with his partner, Wilhelm Styne, head of the hospital Dr Benton was working at back in Germany. The authorities there were getting suspicious of the numerous deaths, and while investigating, discovered Dr Benton was selling his patients healthy organs to the black market. He was immediately fired and when they discovered he wasn't alone, they couldn't find Wilhelm. He disappeared sometime in the night, leaving Dr Benton to pick up his mess.
While sitting in jail, the Styne Family pulled some strings. They freed Dr Benton and replaced him with a double. He was already dead, his organs taken away by the Styles the night before. The coroner concluded it was a suicide since the body was found hanging in his cell. Dr Benton ran away to America and discovered the Styne's secret.
Their secret to being almost immortal, was their stealing organs from healthy people. The methods were too "barbaric," harvesting too many organs from innocent people. They were stronger, but still aged. Dr Benton was intrigued by their methods and researched how to obtain immortality.
There was creatures that existed that never aged. Most of the world didn't believe in them, like werewolves, vampires, ghouls. But where did they come from? The old fable - what came first, the chicken or the egg? It was an old riddle, but one of the earliest riddles.
These monsters, they weren't created by nature, or God, if He existed. There had to be a Beginning. A "Mother." Dr Benton needed research. Plus time he knew he didn't have. One thing he knew about himself. He was dying. He found the lump. Despite the surgeries he got, it was too late. His colleagues gave him a year. Two years at most in the new country.
He resigned from the hospital, but not before practicing harvesting organs from healthy people. He was smart this time around. He hired a helper, a young man. He recently turned, from a bite from a young woman he was seeing. He felt incredibly guilty for what transpired from his courtship of the young woman. He was going to take his final vows at the priesthood, but he needed to make sure he was doing the right thing. While out, he was enamored with a beautiful dark haired woman. She paid him tons of attention, and he was flattered. He was born with a club foot and was often ostracized by his family and townsfolk. While growing up, he had a lonely childhood. The church was the only place he felt accepted.
When he turned of age, his parents threw him out. They found him a burden since he couldn't work on the farm or do any household chores. If that wasn't bad enough he was verbally and physically abused as well by his siblings. Luckily he was taken in by a kind priest. Father Davis suggested he join their parish as a messenger of God. They needed young blood to replace the rapidly aging older members. The unnamed man gladly accepted.
Even though he found peace in the church, he was incredibly lonely. He wondered what it would be like to have company with a young woman. The night before he took his final vows, he snuck out one last time to say goodbye to the "sinful life." He wanted one last drink at the local pub, a game of poker, and a company of a woman. He had cash. He made a living part time making horseshoes for the local businesses.
He played his game, lost some cash, and had his last drink. He wasn't sure he had enough for a prostitute, but he hoped trading his father's prized watch was payment enough. That was the only gift he ever got from his father.
When he saw the woman, he immediately fell in love. She smiled at him and gestured for him to follow her outside. She refused his money and gift, saying his company was enough. The she asked him for his gift. He immediately agreed, not knowing exactly what she meant.
He woke up in his bed. When he saw himself. He thought he was cured. His club foot was gone. He could walk, run and dance. His lips tasted metallic, but he thought it was because of his drink. But then the hunger came. He craved blood.
When the priest came to wake him up to to get him ready to take his vows, he attacked the priest. He almost bit him, but realized what he was about to do. He asked for forgiveness, and ran out. He resisted for days, till the hunger got to be too much. He drank from a traveling salesman. He didn't know he drank too much and the man almost died. He was horrified. But the taste of human blood was too addictive.
It was when Dr Benton captured him is when the alchemist found out what he was. The young man begged for forgiveness, thinking he was a bounty hunter sent by God to punish him. The Doctor couldn't use his organs or flesh, he was too corrupted. But realized this man was a vampire. He offered him a deal. Help him find people, but only ones society won't miss. Criminals, prostitutes and the homeless. The vampire agreed.
The young vampire brought him victims. The Doctor took what he needed and set them free, but not before letting the young man take his drink. If the Doctor needed vital organs, such as the heart or spine, he allowed the man to drink the dying person's blood.
He hired more students and trained them with his medical knowledge. He then researched monsters. The students ended up turning as well from his research. But not before enhancing their abilities. Those students were faster, stronger and can go for weeks without eating. It was about the time Dr Benton discovered immortality. It wasn't exact, but it worked.
He let his students go, telling them they were free. But explicitly told them they must stick together to stay strong. His first student was killed by a hunter, Samuel Colt. He was killed by a bullet from his gun. Dr Benton was devastated when he found out. He was like a son. After giving him a proper burial, he left his students behind and crossed across country to discover the vampires origins.
He discovered they all came from one entity. "Eve." The Mother of All. She created the First. The Alphas. He also found out angels and demons existed as well. But he always wondered who created the Mother? Wasn't the Fallen Angel, Lucifer. He cannot create life from his own hands. He can turn, but cannot create like his Creator.
All the Alphas were sealed away. They were locked away by the First Witch and the First Hunter. Neena. The First Hunter's name was lost over time, but according to the legends, he was believed to be her husband. Neena and her husband created the first line of witches and warlocks. Their bloodline stretched over centuries, till the Flood came and wiped away most of their offspring. The one survivor of the bloodline was a witch named Warren. He or she is unknown if they were a male or female witch.
This person was married to one of the shipbuilder's children. After the waters receded, they started a family. The magical bloodline continued, but the ones with the strongest magic stayed with the Warren bloodline, always female.
Dr Benton didn't care about witches, he cared only about immortality. At first he cared, but quickly lost interest when he discovered that witches and warlocks eventually died of old age, even those that lived for hundreds of years.
The place the Alphas were imprisoned was called Purgatory. Sealed away by God. Dr Benton wondered if God created the witch and hunter. When he was sealed away by Sam and Dean Winchester, years later he begged for mercy. He knew he was going to live forever in a place worse than Hell. A old fridge.
When the hunters captured the woman, they demanded to know what she was. All she said she was a freed prisoner. They thanked her for killing the vampires, then captured her, knowing it may be a moot point, she was stronger than them. She told them everything she knew, plus tips on killing other monsters they never knew about.
She escaped, but not before bedding Bobby. Before she left, she called Bobby "The best lay I ever had." Then she left. Bobby ran into her a few times on his travels, always with them sleeping together. Bobby and her felt themselves falling in love.
She broke things off for good. She knew Bobby was mortal and was afraid he would get attached to her. She told him goodbye, saying even though she was strong, there are others that can easily kill her. When Bobby vowed to protect her, she declined, saying he would be killed easily by something stronger than monsters or demons.
Bobby knew what she really was, but at that point didn't care. She was kind. Refusing to kill people or monsters. If there was a rogue monster, she contacted hunters, only eliminating ones that came too close to her.
"There are creatures out there, even I cannot defeat. Angels, especially Seraphs and Archangels. They can put you to sleep without setting a foot on Earth. Bobby, I don't want you hurt."
"I can hide you. I know spells and charms."
They only work on humans. Bobby. I know I won't live for very long."
"Don't say that Eleanor. I can protect you. I have angel blades, plus sigils to keep them away."
"That's sweet. But I can't hide forever. Bobby, if I die, promise me. Destroy my body. The Door must never be opened. The Mother and her Children cannot escape. The world will end, not by God, but by monsters. My blood. It is one of the keys. Bobby. You must kill me. Burn my bones."
Dean couldn't help but stare at the contents of the box, but before he can unwrap the contents, Cuthbert's head was cut off. Then his assistant was taken away by a unknown force. He was then tasered by someone.
Before Dean blacked out he saw Sam holding a taser tasering Dean. Then after Dean was subdued, he saw Sam handing the box to his alternative self.
Michael.
