Andy was up late. She had just rolled in an alpha, which was starting to feel a bit redundant because Crowley didn't seem to be doing much with them anymore. Suddenly her phone started vibrating. She looked at the call display. "Bobby" is what it told her. Her heart gave a sickening thump as she answered.

Bobby? What's going on?

I just wanted to let you know we found the Mother also known as Eve.

Well that's good.

Not so much, she's still out there.

Shit.

Yea, we had quite a time with it. Sam ended up putting a bullet between Samuel's eyes.

…beg pardon?

Like I said, quite a time.

Bobby, you just said Sam…put a bullet in someone…Sam's dead…isn't he?

…Balls, I'm sorry Andy, I…I thought…balls! I thought you had heard.

That Sam Is Back From The Dead? When the hell did that happen?!

'Bout a year and a half ago…

What?! Ok, Bobby, you have to tell me everything.

"Crowley you damn Bastard!" Andy was furious.

"Darling, language." Crowley said nonchalantly.

"Why didn't you say anything about using Sam and Dean to find your alphas?"

"It was a strictly need to know arrangement."

"Bullshit!"

"Believe what you want darling, but you didn't need to know. Anyway, they weaseled their way out of that arrangement, with some help from your friendly neighbourhood angel."

"You knew about this?" Andy said turning to Castiel. Cas said nothing and looked away from her. Andy stared. "Well that's awesome. Just great. First I find out Sam came back a few hours after he left, without a soul. Next, that you pulled Samuel down from heaven, great move there Cas, now the boys have added grand-patricide to their list of sins and have been working for Crowley!?" Cas still said nothing. "How is this a good thing?"

"It was the only way to start getting to Purgatory faster."

"Really, and how's that working out for you? Because from where I'm standing all we have are several pissed off hunters the Mother of all monsters roaming around wreaking havoc, and nothing on how to get to Purgatory."

"For the record, your little boy-toys blew me off over a month ago Andy stared at them, fuming.

"Well, this has been a lovely chat. Really, we must do it again, but for now I have some pressing work to attend to. Tah," Crowley said, and promptly vanished. Andy growled deep in her throat. When she turned to confront Cas again, he was gone too. I swear this is the last time I ever work with angels or demons.

Two Months Later

There was something going very wrong in Cas's head. She had learned a few months ago that he had brought Sam back to life almost the same day he jumped in the pit. Only he came back soulless. Only now he had it back, with a wall Death had put up in his head. Cas seemed to think that it had been a bad idea. But Cas seemed to think everything except his own ideas were bad at the moment. She also knew, that Cas had not told the boys he was working with Crowley, and in fact had faked burning Crowley's bones at one point. He was narrow mindedly focused on beating Raphael. To the point that he let Crowley kidnap Lisa and Ben. To the point where, once she had confirmed with Balthazar, Cas had no intention of letting the door stay open long enough to let a soul escape his grasp. He had no intention of letting Dyson out. That was too much for Andy. So, like Balthazar, she defected.

"Drinking your feelings Sam?" Always with the dramatic entrance Balthazar. He had dropped Andy out of sight. She didn't want to be seen right away. She had to get her head straight. "Thought that was your brothers bag."

"Stressful times," Sam said.

"Well we need to talk. I know I'm going to live to regret this, but I am officially on your team. You bastards." She was ready.

"And he didn't come empty handed." She walked into the kitchen. The theatrics were almost worth it just for Sam's reaction. He jumped, almost dropped his glass, and then went perfectly still.

"Andy?"

"Hey Sam. Long time."

The four of them were standing in the kitchen staring at each other. Dean with is arms crossed against his chest defensively.

"Why should we trust you?" he said looking at both of them. That was Dean's equivalent of a sucker punch to Andy.

"I do have a shred of decency." Balthazar said. Sam scoffed. "Ok you're right it's survival. Cas has gone off his rocker. He's ready to swallow a thousand nuclear reactors." Looked at Andy.

"And you?" She hesitated.

"I was on your side long before angels were even in the picture. That should count for something." Dean just rolled his eyes and looked away from Andy. She knew that this would not be easy, but she hadn't quite expected this level of callousness." But if you want particulars, Cas made me a promise that I have come to understand he doesn't plan to deliver on."

"So voila. Consider us your double agents. Oh I also took the liberty of searching out your friends."

"You know where they are?"

"Yes, but the entire building is warded against angels." Andy said. "So, Balthazar will get us close, then we go in."

They split up when they were in. It was a demon blood bath. Andy blasted her way through a bunch of demons, but there wasn't much to find. She rounded back the way she had come when it became obvious that Lisa and Ben were not in the area. On her way back, Andy ran into Dean as he was carrying Lisa out. She stopped short.

"What happened?"

"Possessed. Demon made her stabbed herself." Dean grunted. Andy saw the trickle of blood seeping out of Lisa's mouth.

"Ok, Ok. Let's get out, I can heal her when we're safe."

"Ben, give her the gun." Andy took the shot gun and pushed Ben ahead of her. They found Sam locked in a cellar of some kind. He had been knocked over the head soon after getting into the building, but he was more or less ok.

"Sam, we need a ride!" Dean said urgently. Sam nodded and sprinted away. Dean laid Lisa down and Andy went to work. The stab was deep, and had severed an artery. She closed it up as best she could. Dean watched her work, his face pale and etched with fear. Andy was starting to lose focus. She knew Lisa would still need a hospital, but she would live so she came out of it, , but she left the wound open to avoid complications.

"She'll be ok Dean, but we still need to get her to a hospital." He nodded silently. Sam pulled up in a large SUV. They all piled in and Sam sped away.

Lisa pulled through. Ben hugged Andy when he found out.

"Thanks for saving my mom." he said quietly.

"No problem Ben. I'm glad I could help." She glanced up at Dean, who gave her a sad smile and looked back at Lisa. Andy told Ben to be with his mom and she quietly left. She was just coming out the front door when the vision came. It was soft, but sad. Dean asking Castiel a favour. To wipe Ben and Lisa's memories. They would forget him. Andy sighed, throat closing with tears. In a deep dark corner of her mind, she was glad. She waited with Sam at the Impala. Sam kept glancing at Andy. Finally she turned to him.

"Get it out Sam."

"What?"

"You're itching to ask me something. Get it out." He hesitated for a moment.

"What happened to you? I know I lost a year, but we haven't heard anything from you. Dean was with Lisa not you so…what happened?" Andy sighed.

"I couldn't just sit back and not go looking for Dyson."

"So you abandon Dean?" Andy winced.

"I guess that's what I did. At the time I didn't see it like that. I knew he had another option lined up with Lisa. I figured, rightly so, that he would go to her if I wasn't around." Sam shook his head and looked away from her.

"How could you do that to him?" Andy bristled. She knew the next words out of her mouth were going to hurt Sam, but at the moment she didn't care.

"You did it to me." Sam opened his mouth, closed it, and sighed heavily.

"That was different."

"Not really. You were my connection to him. Dyson promised to look after you, so who was there for me?"

"Ellen and Jo-"

"Ellen and Jo put me in a nut house. I loved them dearly, not to speak ill of the dead, but that was not so supportive." They were quiet until Dean came out. He looked rough. Sam was unimpressed with his decision to wipe their memories. Dean just looked at him, tears in his eyes.

"If you mention Lisa or Ben to me again, I will break your nose." Andy swallowed around a lump in her throat. Dean didn't look at her as they pulled away. That was when Cas appeared.

"I'm sorry. I know he meant a great deal to you. It must have been difficult for you."

"He still means a lot to me." Andy was nervous. Cas was unpredictable at the moment. She wasn't sure if she was about to be congratulated or killed. Cas looked at her appraisingly.

"Perhaps you should go with them. You may be able to convince Dean to stop fighting against me." Andy hesitated. She knew that would never happen. Mainly because there was no way she would ever try. But Cas was giving her an out. An excuse to be with them. She decided to take it.

"Maybe. I'll head to Bobby's."

"Good. I may ask for a report." Andy nodded slowly. Cas whisked her away to her bike then vanished. She got on, and pointed her way to South Dakota.

She beat the boys to Bobby's. She told Bobby about what Cas had asked her to do. She assured him she had no intention of going through with it. When the boys finally made it she was waiting for them. Sam gave her a small smile, Dean just walked right by her. She sighed. It was going to take a lot for Dean to forgive her. She knew that. She only wished she knew how to start. She spent the night on the couch in Bobby's office. The spare rooms were taken, and there was no way she was crawling into bed with Dean. She woke early. Too uncomfortable and wound up to sleep anymore. She wandered around the quiet house not sure what to do with herself. Finally she settled with making breakfast. Bobby was up a few hours later. He leaned on the door frame and watched her cooking.

"Thought I'd never see that again." Bobby said with a chuckle.

"What's that?"

"Woman in my kitchen." Andy rolled her eyes at the old man. Andy kept cooking while Bobby sat at the table. Andy felt tense. She wasn't sure if it was just her, or Bobby as well. She couldn't look at him. Couldn't bear the judgment in his eyes. She still didn't know how to make it right.

"You could just talk to him you know." Bobby finally said. Andy looked around at her old friend. She shrugged.

"I wouldn't know what to say. Sorry I abandoned you when your brother died. Sorry I was helping the people that almost murdered your girlfriend. Not the best lines for apology Bobby."

"Well, I for one am glad you're back. Wasn't the same 'round here without you." Andy looked over her shoulder at Bobby stunned. "What? Just because I called you an idjit for leaving doesn't mean I can't see why you did." Andy said nothing but she hugged the old hunter hard.

"Thanks Bobby."

"You're welcome girly." When Dean came down he didn't say anything to Bobby or Andy. He quietly filled a plate with breakfast and went back upstairs. Andy's shoulders sagged. She couldn't help the tears that filled her eyes. She put her head in her hand.

"I really fucked it up this time," she said quietly. Bobby was silent. Andy stood, put her dishes in the sink, and went outside to work on her bike.
