"Sam said that the spell is under the floor board in Bobby's panic room," Lucifer informed Dean and Cas.
"We're on it," Cas stated and then he touched Dean's shoulder. They were gone for a few minutes and then they appeared back in the room.
Dean handed Rowena the crumpled paper that they had brought back.
She unfolded the paper, "Of course," she muttered under her breath. Then she began to chant the words to counter the spell.
A blue light emerged and then it was vanquished.
Lucifer placed Sam's soul back in his body with a wave of his hand.
"We should be able to heal him now," she said as she looked into Gabriel's eyes. They placed their hands on Sam, chanted some words in Enochian and then Sam opened his eyes. Dean and Lucifer sprinted to his side, each one taking his hand in theirs.
"Just one more minute kiddo and I'll take care of that ventilator," Gabriel stated and then waved his hand and the medical machines disappeared.
"Dean, I'm…" Sam started to say.
"It's over Sammy, I got you back…that's all that matters," Dean stated as he pulled his brother into a hug.
"Can I spend some time alone with Sam?" Lucifer asked as he looked at Dean.
"Didn't you spend enough time alone with him when he was in your mind?" Dean asked.
"I just want a little more time before we go back to being enemies," Lucifer explained.
"He's not going to hurt your brother. I think that Lucifer has at least proved that," Gabriel stated as he looked at Dean.
"Dean…" Cas and Sam said at the same time.
"24 hours, but if he's not back in this room in that amount of time, I'll find a way to kill you," Dean stated.
"Thank you," Lucifer stated.
"Wait, I know the rest of you, but who are you?" Sam asked as he laid eyes on Rowena. Sam knew that he had never met her, but there was something about her that felt familiar to him.
"My name is Rowena. I am a powerful witch and you and I are going to be best friends despite the fact that you have terrible taste in mates," Rowena stated as she came forward. She bent down and kissed his cheek.
"Thank you for your help," he whispered.
"You are most welcome Samuel."
Lucifer waved his hand and then they were standing on the top of a mountain.
XOXOXO
"Where are we?" Sam asked as he looked over the peak. He was high up, he knew that, he couldn't even see the ground beneath him.
"Top of Mt Everest. It's my favorite place on Earth. It's beautiful up here and solitary for the most part. It's a great place for me to think. I've been coming here a lot lately since you freed me from the cage and I wanted to share it with you at least once," Lucifer explained.
"It is beautiful up here and quiet. I can see why you would love it up here," Sam stated.
"I like it up here a lot, but love…I'm not capable of loving anything or anybody except for you. I love you Sam. I'll always love you, whether you throw us in the cage or not," Lucifer stated as he wrapped his arms around him.
"I love you too Luci," Sam whispered and then kissed him.
"Where is your favorite place on Earth?" Lucifer asked.
"Joshua Tree National Park in California. Dean and I go there anytime that we're on the West Coast and just sit on top of Baby and look at the Milky Way. We spend all night just drinking and looking at the stars. Sometimes we talk, but mostly we're quiet. It's our favorite place to feel peace, to think," Sam answered.
"We can go there tonight and I can show you some of the stars that I've made."
"You helped create the universe?" Sam asked.
"I didn't create the whole universe, it was a team effort, but the Milky Way and Andromeda were my babies," Lucifer explained.
"When you were in my mind, did you look through the memories that I had of you?" Lucifer asked.
"I saw them, I couldn't help that, they were everywhere, but I only looked at the surface. I didn't look at the details," Sam explained.
"Why not?"
"I didn't want to invade your personal thoughts and memories, besides I wasn't alone for long."
Lucifer chuckled. "I'll give you the time thing, but privacy…we are the same Sam. There is no privacy between us, nor should there be," Lucifer stated. "Can I show you something?" he asked.
"Anything," Sam whispered.
Lucifer placed his hands to the side of Sam's face and his eyes glowed a bright blue and then Sam's vision shifted to a memory.
Lucifer was in his cage and he was screaming, "no…not again," tears were in his eyes. The pain and regret was overwhelming and then it stopped with the sound of a baby's crying. "You can't hurt me anymore, he has arrived and brought peace with him," Lucifer shouted into the darkness surrounding the cage.
Lucifer was traveling through astro projection out of his cage, out of Hell and into a hospital nursery. There were several crying babies in the room, but for Lucifer, the other sounds muted and only one remained. He followed the sound until he was looking down at the baby. Sam could see the name tag Sam W next to the bassinet.
"You have given me peace, let me return the favor little one," Lucifer whispered as the baby's cry's slowed to a whimper at the sound of his Angel. Lucifer placed a finger against the baby's forehead and then he was sleeping.
The memory faded, another memory taking it's place. Dean was holding him tightly against his chest. He was crying, they both were. His father John's hands were wrapped around them as they looked at their house burning down.
Lucifer walked towards Dean and Sam, his father gave no reaction to the presence. "Peace," Lucifer whispered as he touched first Dean and then Sam's forehead. Their cry's came to a stop. The image faded into ashes as it was replaced by another memory.
This time, they were in a motel room. "I have to go to school Sammy, watch your cartoons and I'll be home before you know it. Don't open the door for anybody," Dean whispered and then he left the toddler to be on his own.
Sam remembered this, it was one of his first memories, but it looked different seeing it through Lucifer's eyes. Sam had left the bowl of cereal to the side. He pulled out a chair next to the stove and poured the contents of Macaroni and Cheese into the pot on the stove and he turned the dial. He went back to watching cartooons, quickly forgetting the pot. The contents was smoking and then fire burst out of the pot. The toddler went back to the stove and burned his hand as he removed the burning pot from the stove. There was a feeling of rage coming from his Angel as he grabbed the fire extinguisher and put out the fire. He grabbed the toddler and took him out on the deck as the smoke in the room cleared out. "It's okay Sammy, you're not alone anymore," Lucifer whispered as he placed his hand to his forehead. Sam remembered that the pain in his hand had disappeared.
The memory faded away and blended into another memory. Memory after memory of Lucifer appearing in different forms at the times when Sam was at his lowest. Each time three Angel provided comfort, peace, and love.
"You've been with me all along. Every time I needed you, you were there," Sam stated as the memories ended and they were back on the mountain.
"You ended my Hell when you were born. You became my personal Heaven. I just wanted to do the same for you. I love you…I've always loved you since the first time that your cry's broke through the hold that the cage had over me."
"Thank you for showing me your memories. Thank you for being my Angel," Sam stated and then kissed him.
