*THE* mean-girl-dean-girl's Supernatural reboot MEGAPOST!
I'm gonna stick a little "keeping reading" here because hoooooo boy, this is a very long post.
Let's start with
Plot
Season 1
Dean kills John while they are out on a hunt in a crime of passion, but Dean doesn't remember because he blacked out. Cue Dean going to Stanford to get Sam and tell him "Dad's on a hunting trip... and he hasn't been home in a couple days."
The audience doesn't know what happened to John, but slowly figures it out with Dean and Sam as Dean slowly remembers what happened that night.
The entire first season, the boys are following the trail John left and fighting monsters as well. They find out Dean was with John, Sam realizes Dean has an unreliable memory, they have heart to hearts about their childhood and the fire, they find John's body, "how could you kill Dad?" but maybe Dean didn't kill dad, whooaaaaaa, misdirection.
It was actually good ole yeller eyes (Azazel) and he made it look like Dean killed John.
Okay, now let's move on to the first episode
Not sure how the opening would work, I would like the story of the fire to be revealed over the course of the first season, but maybe the opening scene could be a little bit of an establishing character relationships and backstory, idk, I haven't thought that far yet.
I'm thinking maybe it's like, Dean gets back to a motel room covered in blood and he listens to a voicemail on his phone from John saying he was on a hunt or something, I don't really know lol.
HOWEVER
I do know that after the intro rolls, we get a scene of Sam waking up to his alarm and "Nine to Five" by Dolly Parton starts playing.
Y'all know where this is going.
Cue a montage of Sam's normal Stanford college life (him sitting through lectures, walking through the campus with friends) spliced with scenes of Dean absolutely slaughtering a nest of vampires (or some other monsters, whatever works best.)
But
Now onto
Characters!!! (And descriptions)
Dean Winchester
Some lovely person on this site made edits of Dean with platinum blond hair and it made me feel some kind of way so we're doing that, homie's gonna have platinum blond hair
Side note about the hair, later when the brothers are running from the FBI he dyes it a dirty blond/light brown (insert jackles hair color controversy here) as a disguise.
He also gets tattoos because we were robbed.
Speaking of tattoos, concept: when Dean comes back from Hell, all of his tattoos are gone. His body is a clean slate, devoid of tattoos, scars, etc. So he gets his tattoos done all over again, which he doesn't mind because he made some bad, drunk tattoo decisions in his youth.
(And before you ask, yes, he does get one for Cas, either a bee or Cas's name in enochian, something cute.)
Dean goes to therapy after Sam gets sent to the Cage.
It's actually court mandated because he got in trouble, lol, he would never go to therapy on his own.
Along with the hair, Dean gets to be the grade A twunk we all know he is.
Sam Winchester
His hair gets longer in every scene he's in
No jk, but imagine
King of Microaggressions
Sam starts off like the sweetheart he is in season 1 but in later seasons he starts enjoying killing a little too much...
It's that demon blood, ba-by!!!
He brings up issues of morality to Dean, i.e. killing monsters who aren't hurting anyone. (Yes I know this is contradictory to my previous statement, but these two facets of Sam can and will coexist.)
Sam and Jess's relationship is explored further, meaning we'll need to start with a different inciting incident, but that's fine, I think everyone can agree fridgings are *(thumbs down)*
Sam doesn't truly know what happened the night of the fire until later, and then he understands why Dean is so protective of him.
Jess
She gets to live beyond the first episode
She is also trans
No, I don't feel like I have to explain myself and I won't 💜
She urges Sam to join Dean in a search for their brother, kind of gets pulled into the hunter lifestyle by association lol.
She dies on a rusty nail after fighting vampires on a routine hunt with Sam
No jk!!!
But imagine....
She's amazing and I love her and Lucifer also uses her as leverage against Sam and possesses her because I think that'd be cool.
She supports Sam 100% and also she and Dean are buddies, pals if you will.
She meets Cas Thee El and immediately she Knows, that is a homosexual.
She dies still so that we can have a Saileen Endgame but she's not dying the first episode or in a fridging. Not on my watch.
Castiel
He gets to keep his raw, light-fixture-exploding power.
I want more of that "I pulled you out of hell, I can throw you back in" energy except over dumb shit like Dean not cleaning up after himself.
He looks like a Dilf in every scene he's in, yeah, that's right, dilf with a capital D for *(GUNSHOTS)* *(gets sent to horny jail)*
Claire
She gets pink hair
And more time with Cas
And maybe a nose piercing
Feel like she should be able to kill a couple angels onscreen, punch a couple homophobes
She gets to meet Jack and teaches him swears and fun slang words.
She deserves it.
Jack
I says "that's my baby and I'm proud."
Jack starts off as a baby, but like Amara he grows up super quickly.
Like, baby to 11 year old in a couple days or less.
This is because Jack's emotional age on the show is on par with that of a 5th grader.
It's at this point when he's a young kid that he runs away from the Bunker and shenanigans ensue.
It's also at this point that Dean threatens to k*ll him.
(Still not sure if I want that in my Supernatural (threatened infanticide? In my Supernatural? It's more likely than you think) but we'll see. We'll see.)
Throughout a majority of season 13, Jack is like an 11 y.o. kid
Season 14 he's like a 16 y.o. teenager
Season 15 he's 21, you get the picture.
Listen, I love Alex Calvert a lot. He's great.
But Jack is a child and should be a child.
Kelly Kline
Kelly, baby, stay right where you are, you're perfect.
Eileen
SHE DOESN'T DIE
SHE GETS TO BE IN THE FINALE BECAUSE SHE'S AMAZING AND I LOVE HER.
BLURRY WIFE WHO? I ONLY KNOW SAILEEN ENDGAME!
She teaches Claire and Jack swears in sign-language. Castiel is not impressed.
John
J*hn W*nchester stans, DNI.
He's dead.
We only see him in flashbacks and only sometimes hear his voice in voice overs.
He's not "down the road" from Dean in Heaven, in fact he instead gets to wander around in some Purgatory like Hell for the rest of his time :)
People who get to say "fuck" on the show:
Cas (but only Once)
Jody
Bobby
Now onto other things
I want more of
Ghostfacers
(they need more screentime because I love them)
Dean/Benny
We know they had a thing.
They definitely had a thing.
Demon Dean
Again, I feel like more should've been done with this. All that build up for what, 2 episodes? was not utilized well at all.
Dean's Bisexuality
Straight Dean truthers DNI, my Supernatural is a show about love and being true to yourself
You think Supernatural is a show about 2 straight brothers fighting monsters?
Naw bitch, this is a show about the Gay Experience
He will get to have relations with men on this show.
Of course, only after John dies does he, y'know, display it. Maybe he kisses Cas on his dad's grave just to fuck John over, make him roll in grave.
We all agree John would be/is a homophobe piece of shit, right?
Okay, glad we're on the same page.
Dads
3 men and a baby with Jack is what I'm saying.
I love it when the Trio are father-figures to younger troubled characters they see themselves in, even better if it's like reluctant-but-loving father figure, oh, that trope gets me every time :'^)
Dadstiel and DadDean are my favorites, but I like it when Sam plays "Uncle Sam" to kids too lol.
"Fellas, is it gay to want a tight knit family with your husband, his son, his vessel's daughter, your brother, his wife, your cop mother figure and her wife and their adopted daughters? Asking for a friend."
Garth
Biggest flaw of Supernatural was underutilizing Garth.
I will never not be bitter that Garth was only in like, 7 episodes out of the whole 15 season series.
Every episode with Garth gets immediately 5 times better.
I love Garth.
Follow ups on characters who had entire episodes featured around them and then just... vanished???
This is mostly about Jesse, the magic kid whose imagination ruled an entire town like, his daddy was a demon and nothing came of that kid??? Only one episode about him?? No follow up???
KID CAN MANIPULATE REALITY AND WE'RE NOT GONNA GET A FOLLOW UP ON THAT?????
Uh, there was that one episode with Ennis the guy whose girlfriend was killed by a monster? I think?? Who we never see again, that was weird.
Tamara from season 3, episode 1.
And of course-
Cassie
She was so cool, and then we never saw her again :////
She gets to be a badass.
Religious imagery
As a former Catholic school student who has become for the most part, disillusioned with religion, religious imagery in TV shows like Supernatural make my brain go "brrrrrr."
Fun episodes!!!
Like, after season 6 or so, there's a drop in funny episodes
I'm talking Changing Channels, The French Mistake type stuff. (Scoobynatural is an outlier and should not be counted.)
So anyway
In my version we would have more fun episodes
I'm thinking
GENDER-SWAP EPISODE, BABY!!
(why they didn't do that in the original, we'll never know.)
An episode where Dean gets to wear eyeliner
That's it, end of post.
I want less
Racism
Yeah I feel like this is self explanatory, nearly every reoccurring character in SPN is white, and black side characters normally die in the episode they first appear in, or they'll be featured as a villain (Uriel, Raphael, Billie, etc)
Also there's a lot of... uh... asian fetishism featured in the show (what with "Busty Asian Beauties) that's really gross, also Kevin was a bit of a stereotype...
Also also it's super yucky how they kill the gods from other religions like???? Uh??? That's super disrespectful, let's not do that????
I know Supernatural is like, inherently racist because monsters are a separate race that are seen as some dangerous "other" that must be eradicated by hunters in a form of genocide-
Okay we won't get into that but
Still
Stop killing all your POC
Fridgings/Unecessary murders of female characters
I know Supernatural starts with a fridging, so this will be a hard thing to remedy, but
One death that really pissed me off was the death of Charlie
Yeah, that was pointless and we're not doing that. Charlie gets to live and be an awesome aunt to Jack.
And also Claire
Charlie Bradbury Superiority
Charlie and Garth get to meet because they're nerd/geek solidarity.
British Men of Letters
I fucking hate these guys
They're "litcherally" the worst.
The worst part is that the actors they have playing the British AREN'T. EVEN. BRITISH.
And you can tell
Uh, and that's all for now, I'll add more later.

Heaven and Hell
“Excuse me?” Chase demands, breaking through the silence.
“You want Anna? Why?” Sam asks.
“Out of the way,” Uriel commands, taking a step forward.
“Whoa, whoa, whoa. Okay, I know she's wiretapping your angel chats or whatever, but it's no reason to gank her.”
“Don’t worry,” Uriel smiles cruelly. “I’ll kill her gently.”
“Like hell you will!” Chase says.
“You’re some heartless sons of bitches, you know that?” Dean asks.
“As a matter of fact, we are. And?” Cas says.
Chase frowns at him, brows creasing in disappointment. “What?” She whispers softly.
“And? Anna's an innocent girl,” Sam states.
“She is far from innocent,” Cas says.
“What’s that supposed to mean?”
“It means she's worse than this abomination you've been screwing. Now give us the girl.”
“Uriel, you absolute motherfucker, I am so close to-”
“Chase, enough!” Castiel says. Chase doesn’t respond, just choosing to glare at him. Cas shifts uncomfortably and looks away.
“Give her to us,” Uriel repeats.
“Sorry. Get yourself another one. Try JDate,” Dean says.
“What’s JDate?” Harley asks.
“A Jewish dating site,” Dean responds.
“Huh,” Harley hums, before turning serious again.
“Who's gonna stop us? You three?” Uriel questions. “How about the halfbreed? Or this demon whore?”
Uriel throws Ruby against the wall, punctuating his statement. Dean, alongside Harley, goes to attack him as Cas approaches Sam and Chase.
“Cas, please,” Chase says. Cas places three fingers on Sam’s forehead, making him collapse to the floor.
Just as Cas is about to touch Chase’s forehead, her hair falling into her face, as she stands shaking her head, a bright white light fills the room.
The three conscious hunters and Ruby squint their eyes, before slowly opening them to see Uriel and Cas gone.
Chase helps Sam to his feet, and they all hear Dean in the backroom.
“Anna! Anna!” he shouts.
They all rush to the door of the backroom to see Anna, arms bloodied, with a drawn symbol on the mirror behind her. She looks at them with wide eyes, pale face displaying fear.
“Are they- are they gone?”
“Did you kill them?” Chase asks, fear evident in her voice.
“No, I sent them away. Far away.”
Chase sighs in relief.
“You want to tell us how?” Harley asks, intrigued. She sends a smirk to Chase, who shakes her head, mouthing, ‘Not now’.
Anna gestures to the symbol. “That just popped in my head. I don’t know how I did it. I just...did it.”
Harley snaps a picture of the symbol on her phone so they can memorise it later.
***
The four hunters stand away from Ruby and Anna discussing what to do next.
“So, what do we think?” Dean asks.
“I think Anna's getting more interesting by the second,” Sam says.
“Yeah, I agree. And what did they mean by ‘she's not innocent’?”
“What was that spell too? I mean that’s some serious shit,” Harley says.
“Something's going on with her. See what you can find out,” Dean says.
“What’re you gonna do?” Chase asks.
“Anna may have sent the angels to the outfield, but, sooner or later, they're gonna be back. We got to get ourselves safe now.”
“Bobby’s,” Harley and Chase chorus.
“And Ruby’s riding with us.” Harley says sternly.
***
Chase, Harley, Dean, and Anna sit in Bobby’s panic room with Ruby standing in the doorway.
“Iron walls drenched in salt. Demons can't even touch the joint.” Dean says.
“Which I find racist, by the way.” Ruby mentions.
“Write your congressman.”
“Pretty sure you mean speciesist.”
“Harley,” Chase starts. “You totally just made that up.”
“I didn’t! It is a word.”
“If you insist.”
“It is! Look it up.”
“Sure.”
“I give up.”
Ruby rolls her eyes, throwing them all hex bags.
“Hex bags?” Dean questions.
“Extra-crunchy. They'll hide us from angels, demons, all comers,” Ruby replies.
“Thanks, Ruby,” Dean says quietly before turning to Anna, “Don't lose that. So, Anna, what's playing on angel radio? Anything useful?”
“It's quiet. Dead silence,” Anna answers.
“That’s totally not worrying at all,” Harley says sarcastically.
“I don’t even know what the word worry means,” Chase adds.
“We're in trouble, huh? You guys are scared?” Anna asks.
“Psht, scared?” Chase comments.
“What’s scared?” Harley asks.
“Hey, guys!” They heard Sam yell from the other room.
“Just stay here, okay?” Dean says to Anna before addressing Ruby, “Keep an eye on her.”
***
“How’s the car?” Dean asks Sam.
“I got her. She’s fine. Where’s Bobby?”
“Uh, Dominican,” Chase answers. “He said if we break anything, we buy it.”
“He’s working a job?” Sam assumes.
“God, I sure hope so,” Dean says. “Otherwise, he's at hedonism in a banana hammock and a trucker cap.”
“And now that’s seared into my brain,” Harley sighs.
“All right. What did you find about Anna?” Chase asks.
Sam shrugs. “Nothing much. Her parents were, uh, Rich and Amy Milton -- a church deacon and a housewife.”
“Riveting,” Dean interrupts.
Chase silences him with a look.
“Yeah. But there is something here in the report. Turns out this latest psych episode wasn't her first.”
Chase tilts her head. “It’s not?”
“When she was 2 1/2, she'd get hysterical any time her dad got close. She was convinced that he wasn't her real daddy.”
“Who was?” Dean asks. “The plumber, hmm? A little snaking the pipes?”
“Dude, you’re confusing reality with porn again,” Sam says. Both Harley and Chase have to stifle laughter. Sam continues, “Look, Anna didn't say. She just kept repeating that this real father of hers was mad. Very mad -- like wanted-to-kill-her mad.”
“That’s a little heavy for a two year old,” Harley says.
“Well, she saw a kid's shrink, got better, and grew up normal.”
“Until now,” Harley adds.
“So what’s she hiding?” Dean asks.
“Why don’t you just ask me to my face?” Anna asks from behind the group. They all jump and turn to see Anna appearing from a doorway, Ruby watching from behind her in amusement.
“Aren’t you supposed to be watching her?” Chase asks.
“I am watching her.”
“Touche.”
“Anna’s right. Is there anything you want to tell us?” Sam asks Anna.
Anna shakes her head. “About what?”
“The angels said you were guilty of something. Why would they say that?”
“You tell me,” Anna demands. “You tell me why my life has been leveled,” she pauses, emotion bubbling up in her voice. She forces it down. “Why my parents are dead. I don’t know. I swear, I would give anything to know.”
“Okay, so let’s find out,” Chase says, a thoughtful, serious look on her face.
“How?” Dean and Harley chorus, glancing at Chase.
Chase smiles at them knowingly.
***
“We’re here,” Chase announces, entering the room. A familiar figure walks in after her. Chase goes to stand behind Sam and Dean, closest to Harley.
“Pamela!” Sam says in surprise.
“Sam?” Pamela asks, feigning confusion.
“Yeah, it’s me.”
“Sam?” Pamela asks once more, a hand out, moving forward tentatively. “Is that you?”
“I’m right here.”
Sam approaches Pamela and goes to give her a hug. “Oh,” she says. “You wanna know how I knew it was you?” Sam pulls back from the hug, slightly confused. Pamela grabs a handful of his ass, causing him to jump slightly. “That perky little ass of yours. You could bounce a nickel off that thing.”
“Of course I know it's you, grumpy. I know the other three Winchesters are behind you. Same way I know that's a demon, and that poor girl's Anna and that you've been eyeing my rack.”
“I’m not a Winchester,” Harley says.
“Yet,” coughs Chase from beside her. Harley seems to be the only one to hear, leading her to nudge Chase in the ribcage; hard.
Pamela shrugs. “You might as well be.”
“Uh, uh,” Sam stutters, looking up and away from Pamela’s chest, a pink tinge on his cheeks from embarrassment.
“Don't sweat it, kiddo. I still got more senses than most.”
“Got it,” Sam nods.
“Hey, Anna. How are you? I'm Pamela.”
Anna looks at the others, confused, before looking back at Pamela. “Hi.”
“Chase told me what's been going on. I'm excited to help,” Pamela says with a smile.
“Oh, that’s nice of you.”
“Not really. Any chance I can dick over an angel, I’m taking it.”
“Why?” Anna asks hesitantly.
“They stole something from me,” Pamela responds eerily. She takes off her sunglasses, revealing white eyes. Pamela smiles as though sensing Anna’s sudden shock of fear. “Demon-y, I know. But they're just plastic. Good for business. Makes me look extra-psychic, don't you think? Now...how about you tell me what your deal is? Hmm? Don't you worry.”
Pamela begins to explain the process of what she’ll be doing to Anna to her and the group. “Nice and relaxed. Now, I'm going to count down from five to zero. When we're at zero, you'll be in a deep state of hypnosis. As I count down, just go deeper and deeper, okay? 5... 4... 3... 2... 1. Deep sleep. Deep sleep. Every muscle calm and relaxed. Can you hear me?”
“I can hear you,” Anna responds calmly. Her eyes are shut and she seems more at peace than she has since the Winchesters, plus Harley and Ruby, had found her.
“Now, Anna, tell me... How can you hear the angels? How did you work that spell?”
“I don't know. I just did.”
“Your father... What's his name?”
“Rich Milton.”
“All right. But I want you to look further back... When you were very young... Just a couple of years old.”
“I don't want to.”
“It'll be okay. Anna, just one look - that's all we need.”
“No.”
“What's your dad's name? Your real dad. Why is he angry at you?”
“No. No! No,” Anna screams, “No!”
“Calm down.”
Anna screams again, “He's gonna kill me!”
“Anna, you're safe.”
“No!” She screams. The lights burst and glass explodes everywhere.
“Calm down.”
Again she screamed, “He’s gonna kill me!”
“It's all right, Anna.”
“Anna?” Dean calls out, walking toward her.
“Dean, don’t.” Pamela says just before he gets thrown across the room. “Wake in 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. Anna... Anna? You all right?”
“Thank you, Pamela. That helps a lot. I remember now.” Anna’s entire demeanor has changed. While before, she seemed timid, confused, and shy, yet sweet as honey and fiery too, she now is stoic. Her face stays blank as she peers at Pamela, no emotion on her face or in her eyes. Her voice doesn’t waver.
“Remember what?” Chase asks.
“Who I am.”
Chase raises a brow. “Well, ain’t that vague.”
“And you are?” Harley prods.
“I’m an angel. Don't be afraid, I'm not like the others.” Anna says, trying to reassure the hunters, psychic, and demon. It must be extremely easy to sense that many people immediately going on guard, a couple of hands reaching for weapons just in case.
“I don't find that very reassuring,” Ruby discloses.
“Neither do I,” Pamela agrees.
“So...Castiel, Uriel - they're the ones that came for me?” Anna asks.
“You know them?” Sam inquires.
“We were kind of in the same foxhole,” Anna says mildly.
“So, what? They were like your bosses or something?” Chase asks.
“Try the other way around.”
“Look at you,” Dean says combatively.
“So now they want to kill you?” Harley asks, hoping for some clarification.
“Orders are orders. I'm sure I have a death sentence on my head,” Anna responds smoothly, as though the thought was equal to saying she was sure the sky was blue.
“Why?” Pamela asks, suspicious.
“I disobeyed... which, for us, is about the worst thing you can do. I fell.”
“Meaning?” Dean asks.
“She fell to earth, became human,” Chase says.
“Wait a minute. I don't understand. So, angels can just become human?” Sam asks.
“It kind of hurts. Try cutting your kidney out with a butter knife. That kind of hurt. I ripped out my grace.”
“Come again?” Dean asks.
“My grace. It's... energy. Hacked it out and fell. My mother, Amy, couldn't get pregnant. Always called me her little miracle. She had no idea how right she was.”
“So, you just forgot that you were God's little Power Ranger?” Dean asks jokingly.
“The older I got, the longer I was human, yeah.”
“I don't think you all appreciate how completely screwed we are,” Ruby chimes in.
Anna nods to her. “Ruby’s right. Heaven wants me dead.”
“And Hell just wants her. A flesh-and-blood angel that you can question, torture, that bleeds. Sister, you're the Stanley Cup. And sooner or later, Heaven or Hell, they're gonna find you.”
“I know,” Anna responds. “That’s why I’m going to get it back.”
“Get what back?”
“My grace.”
“You can do that?” Dean asks.
“If I can find it.”
“So, what, you're just gonna take some divine bong hit, and, shazam, you're Roma Downey?” Dean asks.
“Something like that,” Anna responds, meeting Dean’s eyes. She doesn’t seem amused by all his jokes and side comments.
“Where might it be?” Chase asks. “If we can get it back, that’s the best option we got.”
“Lost track. I was falling about 10,000 miles per hour at the time.”
“Wait, you mean falling literally,” Harley realizes. “Lovely.”
“Like the way a human eye can see? Like a comet, maybe, or a meteor?” Sam asks suddenly.
“Why do you ask?” Anna asks.
***
Harley, Chase, Sam and Ruby find themselves to be surrounded by old books and magazines. Dean just left to drop Pamela off at home, while Anna is doing who knows what. She’d claimed she wanted alone time, so they let her be.
Sam’s flipping through the pages of one, before he finally lands on one. “Here. In march '85, a meteorite vanished in the night sky over northwestern Ohio. It was sighted nine months before Anna was born, and she was born in that part of Ohio.”
Ruby looks Sam up and down, “You're pretty buff for a nerd.” Chase rolls her eyes at Ruby’s comment.
“Look, I think it was Anna and here, same time - another meteor over Kentucky.” Sam says ignoring Ruby.
“And that’s her grace?”
“Might be.”
“All right. That just narrows it down to an entire state.”
“At least it narrows it down,” Chase sighs.
Ruby rolls her eyes, “Sam...I’m sorry.”
“For what?” Sam asks.
“For bringing you this mess. If I had known, I would have kept my trap shut.”
“Yeah, well, we'll muddle through.”
“Not this time. You do not want to get between these two armies. It's Godzilla and Mothra. If one side doesn't get us, the other one will.”
“So, what do you want to do? Dump Anna and run? Forget it. Look, I know the angels freak you out.”
“Forget the angels. It's Alastair I'm scared of.”
“Then vamoose your caboose and let us handle it,” Harley points out, earning an eye roll to match her best friend’s.
“Alastair?” Sam questions.
“You met him in the church. Practically the grand inquisitor downstairs. Picasso with a razor,” Ruby answers.
“And?” Harley asks.
“And he should pull him out and throw him back in the pit... if he weren't so out of shape.”
“Ruby…” Sam says, it’s almost a plea.
“No, your abilities - you're getting flabby.”
“Yeah, so how do I tone up?”
“You know how. You know what you got to do.”
“No, I'm not doing that anymore.”
“Sam…”
“I said no.”
“Well, then you better pray that Anna gets her groove back, or we're all dead.”
***
Sam leads Dean and Anna to the table Harley and Chase occupy. Sam is pointing at a newspaper article from several years before.
“Union, Kentucky. Found some accounts of a local miracle.”
“Yeah?” Dean asks, interested.
“What kind of miracle?” Chase asks.
“I’m assuming the miracle kind,” Harley notes.
“Yeah. In '85, there was an empty field outside of town. Six months later, there was a full-grown oak. They say it looks a century old at least,” Sam says, animatedly explaining what he’d read.
“Anna, what do you think?” Dean asks, turning to the red haired girl.
“The grace. Where it hit, it could have done something like that, easy.”
“So grace ground zero -- it's not destruction. It's…” Dean trails off.
“Pure creation,” Anna confirms.
***
“So,” Chase breaks the silence as they drive along the dark road. “How long do you think before Ruby says something she isn’t supposed to?”
“I don’t even want to think about it,” Harley sighs.
“What would be worse though? Dean finding out you have a crush on him or me having a crush on Cas?” Chase blanks, freezing.
“Oh my God,” Harley says.
“No-no that isn’t what I meant and you know it! Shut up, shut up right now!”
“I can’t believe you just admitted it!”
“No, that isn’t what I meant. I meant it like, it would be bad if Dean thinks I have a crush on him and like “finds out” I do,” Chase tries to defend, putting air quotes around the words ‘finds out’. “Not that I actually have a crush on Cas, because I don’t. You know?”
“Sure you don’t.”
“I don’t!”
Harley simply hums as they continue behind the Impala, the darkness around them growing thicker as they head to Kentucky, a short twelve hour drive.
***
“It’s beautiful,” Dean and Chase chorus, staring at the wondrous oak tree, gigantic in size.
“It’s where the grace touched down. I can feel it,” Anna says.
Chase shivers, immediately knowing what Anna’s referring to. The power resonating from the area is dull, probably from how many years it lay dormant, but still there nonetheless. It felt surreal.
“You ready to do this?” Harley asks.
Anna smiles slightly, shaking her head. “Not really.”
They all approach the tree, looking around for a sign of what and where the grace might be.
“What are we looking for?” Sam says after a few moments.
Anna, placing a hand on the tree, frowns. “It doesn’t matter.”
“Why not?” Chase asks, mimicking Anna, as though she could tell what was going through her head.
Anna makes eye contact with them, slowly sweeping her gaze from one to the other, before landing on Chase, whose question still lays unanswered in the still air. “Because it’s no longer here.”
***
“We still got the hex bags. I say we head back to the panic room,” Dean says hurriedly.
“What, forever?” Ruby demands.
“I’m just thinking out loud here!”
“Oh, you call that thinking?”
“Ruby, can it!” Chase snaps.
“Oh, whatever you say, angel-lover.”
“At least I know to stay away from trash!”
“Chase, cool it,” Harley says, not bothering to hide the smile on her face.
“No! No, go on! Got anything else to say?” Ruby asks, approaching Chase. Sam grabs Ruby by the arm as Dean puts himself in front of Chase. Harley just watches in amusement.
“Hey! Hey, hey, hey. Stop it,” Sam says.
“Anna's grace is gone. You understand? She can't angel up. She can't protect us. We can't fight Heaven and Hell. One side maybe, but not both. Not at once. And your favorite angel is fighting against us as much as everyone else is, so get over it.”
“Um, guys?” Anna interrupts softly. “The angels are talking again.”
“What are they saying?” Sam asks.
“It's weird... Like a recording... a loop. It says, "Dean Winchester gives us Anna by midnight, or..."
“Or what?” Dean demands.
Anna looks up, discomfort plainly displaying itself. “Or we hurl him back into damnation.”
“Who is it?” Chase asks suddenly.
“What?” Anna asks, tilting her head.
“Who is it? Saying that. Who the hell is threatening my family?”
Anna stays silent for a moment. “Chase,” she begins.
“Tell me.”
“It’s Castiel’s voice.”
Chase takes a step back, betrayal, then anger crossing over her features. “I am going to kill that feathery, flighty, stupid, son of a bitch.” Her voice is slow and controlled - Murderous. Harley puts a comforting hand on Chase’s shoulder, but Chase shrugs her off. “Whatever, it doesn’t matter. We knew they would stoop low to get Anna back.”
Sam’s eyes light up. “Chase, you’re brilliant!”
“I am. What’s your point?”
“Anna.. Do you know of any weapon that works on an angel? To what? To kill them?”
Anna sighs. “Nothing we could get to. Not right now.”
“Okay, wait, wait. I say we call Bobby. We get him back from hedonism.”
“Dean, what's he gonna tell us that we don't already know?” Sam asks.
“I don’t know,” Dean cries out. “But we’ve got to think of something!”
***
“Don't talk like that,” Dean says softly. Chase slows her footsteps. She’d been following Anna out to ask if she was okay, but “accidentally” overheard part of their conversation. She on purpose stays to hear the rest.
“I disobeyed. Lucifer disobeyed. It's our murder one, and I knew it. Maybe I got to pay.”
“Yeah, well, we've all done things we got to pay for.”
“I got to tell you something. You're not gonna like it,” Anna says.
A pause ensues. Chase curses herself for being short, because now she is awkwardly hiding behind a car, and now can’t see what is happening. “Okay,” Dean says slowly. “What?”
“About a week ago, I heard the angels talking... About you... What you did in Hell. Dean, I know. It wasn't your fault. You should forgive yourself.”
Chase frowns. ‘Excuse me?’
“Anna, I don't w-want to, uh... I don't want to... I can't talk about that.” Dean’s voice is flighty, causing Chase to frown deeper.
“I know. But when you can, you have people that want to help. You are not alone. That's all I'm trying to say.”
Another pause, longer than the previous one interrupts their conversation. “What was that for?” Dean finally asks.
‘Did Anna just kiss Dean?!’
“You know. Our last night on earth. All of that.”
“You’re stealing my best line,” Dean says jokingly. “But…”
“But?”
A short pause. Again, Chase curses her inconvenient hiding spot.
“Ah,” Anna continues. “I see.”
‘See what?’ Chase asks herself. ‘I can’t see anything!’
“Yeah,” Dean says awkwardly. “But not how you think.”
“You can’t keep running from everything, Dean.”
“I can sure as Hell try,” Dean says. He’s obviously intending for it to come across as a joke, but Chase can hear the underlying seriousness.
“She’s lucky.”
‘She?’
Dean laughs. “Not likely.”
“Give yourself more credit than that. I’m sure you’re not as alone in your intentions as you believe.”
‘Intentions? Like what? Who the hell are they talking about?’
“She could never feel the same.”
‘OH MY GOD,’ Chase thinks to herself, trying to keep from squealing. A hand is clapped over her mouth tightly, as she frantically puts the pieces together. ‘They’re talking about Harley!!! I fucking knew it!’
“Don’t be so sure,” Anna says knowingly.
“We should get inside,” Dean says. “It’s a bit cold out here.”
Chase balks, before rushing up towards the house again.
“Did you hear something?” Anna asks.
Dean’s voice fades to nothing as Chase closes the door. “Probably just an animal.”
Chase grins widely to herself, before rushing off to relay the events to Harley.
***
“I don't know, man. Where's Ruby?” Sam asks. Chase and Harley shrug.
“Hey, she's your Hell buddy,” Dean says, taking a long drink from his flask.
“Little early for that, isn't it?” Anna asks him. Dean gives her a lopsided smile.
“It’s 2 a.m. somewhere.”
“You okay?” Anna asks, eyebrows furrowing together.
“Yeah, of course.”
The doors rattle, distracting everyone, before they burst open. Castiel and Uriel enter. Chase subconsciously steps in front of Dean, glaring harshly at Castiel.
“Hello, Anna. It's good to see you,” Castiel says, inclining his head towards her.
“Bullshit,” Chase says, “Why are you here?”
Castiel glances at Chase with confusion in his eyes, before ignoring her, which just seems to rub salt into an unknown wound.
“How? How did you find us?” Cas and Uriel glance at Dean. Sam and everyone else looks to him in shock. “Dean?”
“I'm sorry,” Dean says to Anna.
“Why?” Harley asks.
“Because they gave him a choice. They either kill me... or kill all of you. I know how their minds work.”
Anna gives Dean a tight hug, pecking him on the cheek. “You did the best you could. I forgive you. Okay. No more tricks. No more running. I'm ready.”
Harley stiffens at Anna’s actions, but Chase just sends her a knowing smile, which confuses her enough to distract her.
“I’m sorry,” Castiel says.
“No, you’re really not,” Anna replies. “You don’t know the feeling.”
“Still, we have a history. It’s just-”
“I get it. Orders are orders.” Anna sighs. “I know. Just make it quick.”
Suddenly, the barn gets colder. Alastair, Ruby, and another demon appear in the barn. Ruby is covered in blood, causing everyone to look at her in shock, some looking at her with concern.
“How dare you come in this room... you pussing sore?” Uriel asks, spitting the words to Alastair.
“That is literally the first fucking thing that you’ve said that I don’t find absolutely vile. Good job. Progress,” Chase says.
“Shut up, you repulsive-”
“Aaand, you’re back to square one,” Chase tsks.
“Turn around and walk away now,” Castiel says to Alastair and his demon cronies.
“Think I’ll take my chances,” Alastair replies.
The angels and demons begin fighting, Castiel trying to exorcise Alastair. Harley wondered why he wasn’t trying to smite him.
“Sorry, kiddo. Why don't you go run to daddy?” Alastair taunts as one of his cronies collapses because Uriel exorcises him. “Potestas inferna, me confirma. Potestas inferna, me confirma. Potestas inferna, me confirma!”
Dean hits Alastair on the back of the head with a crowbar.
Alastair turns to Dean, “Dean, Dean, Dean... I am so disappointed. You had such promise.” He goes to attack the four hunters.
While Uriel was dealing with the other cronie Anna steals his necklace and smashes it on the ground. A glowing white light escapes and flows into Anna’s mouth.
“Shut your eyes. Shut your eyes! Shut your eyes!” Anna yells. The Winchesters and Co. do as she says, opening them after a flash of light dissipates. Alastair was gone leaving the knife. Anna poofed away, finally having gotten her grace back.
“Well, what are you guys waiting for? Go get Anna. Unless, of course, you're scared,” Dean taunts.
“This isn't over,” Uriel says almost threateningly.
“Oh, is it? Because you don’t seem to have any more moves to make,” Harley points out.
“Silence halfbreed.”
“Don’t call her that, you dick!” defends Dean.
“And why not? It’s what the abomination is.”
“She’s not an abomination. She’s my best friend.”
“It’s fine, Dean. I don’t give a shit about his opinion anyway,” Harley says, “It’s not worth it. He’s not worth it.”
Castiel and Uriel poof off to God knows where.
“But you are,” Dean says softly.
Chase and Sam seeing a potential moment make themselves scarce and head to the other side of the barn.
“I am what?” Harley asks, confusion evident in her voice.
“Worth it,” Dean says, “I know you don’t think you are, but-”
“Excuse you? I’m amazingly fabulous.”
“Don’t give me that crap. I know you. Maybe not as well as Chase, but I know you.”
“I’m not giving you crap.”
“Harley for someone who wanted to act, you're a terrible liar. I know all your bravado is bullshit. We all do.”
“So what?”
“So I want you to know you’re worth it.”
“I’m not though Dean. I’m just another monster.”
Dean begins walking toward her stopping when they’re inches away. He pulls her into a hug, and she gladly accepts.
“You’re not a monster.” Dean softly says into her ear.
“How do you know that?”
“Because I...you try to do the right thing, even if you don’t know what it is.”
“Can we just stay here for a while?”
“We can do anything you want sweetheart,” Dean says with a suggestive undertone.
Harley laughs it off thinking it’s just Dean being his flirty self. They just stand there in each other’s arms for what feels like forever and no time at all.
***
“What took you so long to get here?” Deans asks Ruby upon entering the room where she had been talking with Sam and Chase. She rolls her eyes at him.
“Sorry I'm late with the demon delivery. I was only being tortured,” she replies sarcastically.
“I got to hand it to you, Sammy. Bringing them all together all at once -- angels and demons. It was a damn good plan.”
“Yeah, well, when you got Godzilla and Mothra on your ass, best to get out of their way and let them fight.”
“Now you’re just bragging,” Chase says.
“What’s wrong with bragging?” Harley asks jokingly. “You do it all the time.”
Chase shrugs. “I’m not bragging. At that point, I’m simply stating facts.”
“That is bragging. You are literally bragging right now,” Sam laughs.
Chase waves him off. “I’m just glad Anna’s okay.”
“So, I guess she's some big-time angel now, huh? She must be happy... Wherever she is,” Sam says.
“I doubt it,” Dean adds.
They all frown at his words, letting them sink in.
***
Chase all but squeals as she starts the car. Harley shoots her an odd look, but Chase just smiles widely at her. “Oh my God, I have so much to tell you!”
“Okay? What do you have to tell me?” Harley asks, paranoid.
“Dean likes you!”
“Not this again. Every time we’re in the car.”
“Oh, hush!” Chase frowns. “That’s only cause I can’t say this in front of other people. I mean I can. I just thought you’d appreciate me being a bit more discreet about it. Anyhoo, I overheard Anna and Dean talking about it.”
“Did he actually say he likes me?”
“Well, no, but-” “So you have no proof. That what you’re telling me?”
“Wellll.” Chase sighs. “Okay, so here’s what happened. I was hiding because I overheard Anna and Dean talking and they were talking about Dean’s time in Hell. All very vague, and I’m not sure what it was about. Then Anna kisses Dean-”
“So?” Harley asks curtly.
Chase rolls her eyes. “‘So?’” she says mockingly. “Soooo. Dean is all ‘what was that for’ and Anna is all ‘last night on earth’ and Dean’s all ‘you’re stealing my best line but-’ and then Anna is like ‘But?’ and there’s this pause. I’m pretty sure Dean looked over at where we were, because Anna just goes ‘oh, I see’ and then is like ‘she’s lucky’ after telling him he can’t run from everything.”
“Did you actually see where he was looking?”
“Well, no, but- Don’t interrupt me, I’m not finished!” Chase huffs. “Anyway, as I was saying. Dean says he can certainly try and then Anna tells him that his intentions are not one sided, meaning there are intentions there and that she has noticed it being reciprocated, which mean she had to have been talking about you and Dean, and you like Dean, which means he likes you! Get it?”
“So you’re crazy. I don’t even know if I like him yet. I mean I think I might, but I’m not really sure. Besides I thought Dean was all in love with Cassie?”
“That was a fling and was years ago. Why would you think of her of all people?”
“I don’t know maybe because that’s the longest relationship Dean’s ever had?”
“Okay, fair, but like, again. Years ago. And this is something Anna has evidence of and she has no clue who Cassie is so,” Chase says in a ‘duh’ tone of voice.
“She could’ve just picked up on him liking someone and was trying to be nice.”
“Anna. Right. She was just trying to be nice. That makes complete sense,” Chase says in a heavily sarcastic tone. “You’re just being stubborn!”
“I’m always stubborn, besides she was trying to get in his pants right before that.”
“See, that’s true! Which means she simply didn’t know that Dean reciprocated feelings, but she did say she previously saw evidence of them being reciprocated. Ruby hates him, and I’m his sister so that’s an obvious “ew”, so you’re the only one left, and let’s not fool anyone here. Our argument earlier did not go unnoticed by our surrounding companions. She totally knows you got the hots for my brother.”
“I do not have the hots for him! I said I might like him that’s all. Anyway I’m not the kind of person that gets to fall in love.”
“That’s bullshit,” Chase deadpans, suddenly deadly serious. “You’re an amazing, wonderful, kind, loving, hilarious, beautiful person and I’ll be damned before I see you never get a happy ending simply because you believe it when certain dickheads tell you you don’t deserve one. Even if that dickhead is yourself.”
“Okay, that’s very sweet, but I just don’t want to risk falling in love and outliving that person by some vampire superpower.”
“Ummmm. Okay, I don’t have anything to combat that other than, we’re all gonna die one day. I can fall in love with a very humany human person and they could die the next day easily. Just because it will eventually end, you ending up immortal or not, doesn’t mean it isn’t worth the time you do have. Don’t let your fear of losing Dean- or anyone, don’t look at me like that- keep you from pursuing something that’ll make you happy now. All I’m saying.”
***
Jack and Baby are parked side by side along the mostly deserted highway, a lookoff point behind them, showcasing scenery that would leave most breathless. However, the four hunters and friends who sit on the hoods of their respective cars don’t look much at scenery. Two hold beers, the boys of the group, while the girls hold water bottles, making faces at Sam and Dean to tease them. Chase and Harley clink their water bottles, mocking Sam and Dean, who’d clinked their beer bottles.
“I can’t believe we made it out of there,” Chase sighs.
“Again,” Sam adds.
Dean and Harley laugh slightly, but note the seriousness of the situation.
“I know you guys heard him,” Dean says.
The other three cast cautious glances at each other before looking to Dean. “Heard who?” Sam asks, feigning ignorance in case Dean would rather shove the topic back under the rug.
“Alastair. What he said about me. About how I have promise.”
“We heard him,” Chase confirms.
“You’re not curious?” Dean asks in surprise.
“Dean, all of us are damn curious, but we’re not gonna pry.”
“You said you didn’t want to talk about Hell,” Harley gently reminds. “So why would we ask? It’d only make you upset.”
“It wasn’t four months, you know,” Dean says.
“What?” Sam asks.
“I think I know how long my brother was gone,” Chase notes.
Dean meets her eyes briefly, before looking away. “I mean, yeah, it was four months up here but. I don’t know. Down there time is different.”
“How long was it?” Harley asks cautiously.
“More like forty years.”
Chase makes a noise of hurt in her throat, and Sam lets out a small, “My God.”, but silence falls on all of them as they gaze at Dean in shock, mingled with horror. Tears shine in Dean’s eyes, further causing the three to be pained- Dean doesn’t often open himself up to vulnerability, so this is obviously difficult, traumatic, and painful for him.
Dean’s voice cracks as he tries to explain to them just a fraction of what he’d gone through. “They, uh... They sliced and carved and tore at me in ways that you... Until there was nothing left. And then, suddenly... I would be whole again... like magic... just so they could start in all over. And Alastair... at the end of every day... every one... he would come over. And he would make me an offer. To take me off the rack... if I put souls on... if I started the torturing.
“And every day, I told him to stick it where the sun shines. For 30 years, I told him. But then I couldn't do it anymore, Sammy.” Dean meets Sam’s eyes, before glancing over at the two girls. “Guys, I just couldn't. And I got off that rack. God help me, I got right off it, and I started ripping them apart. I lost count of how many souls.” A tear escapes, falling down Dean’s face. “The -- the things that I did to them.”
“Dean, you held out for thirty years,” Sam points out.
“That’s longer than most anyone!” Harley adds.
Chase gets up and puts a tentative, but supportive, arm around her brother, who leans in slightly to accept the comfort. “It’s okay, Dean. You did good. You held out longer than I would have, than anyone I know probably could have. You’re gonna be okay.”
“How I feel... This... inside me... I wish I couldn't feel anything. I wish I couldn't feel a damn thing.” Dean finally breaks down further, more tears escaping as he begins to cry. Harley and Chase’s eyes meet over his shoulder as Chase fully hugs him. Tears are shining in both girls’ eyes.
The four hunters stay there in silence as Dean lets out a portion of his pain to let them carry. Chase, Harley, and Sam can’t help the feeling of helplessness they feel. They couldn’t truly help Dean or ever begin to understand what he went through. They could only hold him, let him speak if he wishes to speak, be silent when he wishes to be silent, and constantly remind him they were there.

On the Side of the Angels Chapter 9
TITLE: On the Side of the Angels Chapter 9 PAIRING: (Castiel/Celeste) RATING: T CHAPTER: 9/? SUMMARY: Celeste, the daughter of a fallen angel and mortal. Ever since she was born, the angels were given orders to protect her, specifically Castiel and Gabriel. When she was 16, she was in a horrific car accident, which Castiel saved her from. When Castiel comes back to Earth, she’s in his thoughts 24/7. This poses a problem for him. How can he love her and still follow orders?
[A/N - Buckle up, fledglings. This one is a long one!]
The next day, Celeste got a call from Dean. “I can’t locate you”, she told him. She teleported a couple of miles down the road, where Dean picked her up in the Impala.
“You know your angel is really starting to piss me off”, Dean told her.
“Whatever Cas is doing has nothing to do with me. He’s just following his orders”.
Dean scoffed. “Right. Orders”.
They arrived at Bobby’s house and Dean led her down into the basement.
“You again”, Anna said.
“I don’t even know why I’m here”, Celeste said, “I know I have a connection with Castiel and all, but I don’t see how that’s going to help”.
Anna sat in a chair in the panic room.
“Would you just sit down and stop running your mouth?” Dean told her, “God, you’re like the little sister I never wanted”.
Celeste sat on the floor. “What is this place, anyway?” Celeste asked, looking around at the different sigils. Some she recognized, others she didn’t.
“It’s a panic room. Iron walls drenched in salt. Demons can't even touch the joint”, Dean said patting the wall.
The demon, whose name Celeste learned was Ruby, stood outside the door.
“Which I find racist, by the way”, Ruby snapped.
“Write your congressman”.
Ruby tossed Dean a couple of bags. “Here”.
“Hex bags?”
“Extra-crunchy. They'll hide us from angels, demons, all comers”.
“Which explains why I couldn’t find you guys”, Celeste said taking one from Dean’s hands.
“Thanks, Ruby”, he said. He turned to Anna. “Don't lose this”, he said, handing her one, “So, Anna, what's playing on angel radio? Anything useful?”
“It's quiet. Dead silence”.
“What about you?” Dean asked Celeste.
“I got nothing. Which is weird. They’re always talking about something”.
Dean sighed. “Good. That's not troubling at all”.
“We're in trouble, huh? You guys are scared?” Anna asked.
Dean shared a look with Celeste before saying, “Nah”.
“Hey, Dean!” they heard Sam yell.
“Just stay here, okay?” Dean said to Anna, “Celeste”.
Celeste stood up and followed him out of the panic room.
He turned to Ruby and said, “Keep an eye on her”.
Celeste and Dean went back upstairs into the dining room.
“Where's Bobby?” Sam said.
“Uh, The Dominican. He said we break anything, we buy it”, Dean joked.
Celeste rolled her eyes.
“He's working a job?” Sam asked.
“God, I hope so. Otherwise, he's at hedonism in a banana hammock and a trucker cap”, Dean told him.
Celeste laughed.
“Now that's seared in my brain”, Sam said.
“All right, what did you find on Anna?” Dean asked.
“Uh, not much. Her parents were, uh, Rich and Amy Milton -- a church deacon and a housewife”, Sam said.
“Riveting”, Dean said sarcastically. He turned to Celeste. “What about you? Do you know anything about her?”
“Like I told you, there used to be an angel named Anna who was above Castiel on the angel food chain, but it’s probably not possible that they’re the same person. I mean, Anna’s a pretty popular name for a girl”.
“But there is something else here in the report. Turns out this latest psych episode wasn't her first”, Sam said.
“No?” Dean asked surprised.
“When she was 2 1/2, she'd get hysterical any time her dad got close. She was convinced that he wasn't her real daddy”.
“Who was? The plumber, hmm? A little snaking the pipes?”
Celeste rolled her eyes.
“Dude, you're confusing reality with porn again. Look, Anna didn't say. She just kept repeating that this real father of hers was mad. Very mad -- like wanted-to-kill-her mad”, Sam told them.
“Kind of heavy for a 2-year-old”, Dean said.
“Well, she saw a kid's shrink, got better, and grew up normal”.
“Until now. So, what's she hiding?”
“Why don't you just ask me to my face?” Anna asked showing up out of nowhere.
“Nice job watching her”, Dean said to Ruby.
“I'm watching her”, Ruby told him.
“No, you're right, Anna. Is there anything you want to tell us?” Sam asked.
“About what?”
“The angels said you were guilty of something. Why would they say that?”
Tears were gathering in Anna’s eyes. “You tell me. Tell me why my life has been leveled... Why my parents are dead. I don't know. I swear. I would give anything to know”.
“Okay. Then let's find out”.
“How?”
Dean returned later with a woman. “We're here!” Dean called.
“Pamela, hey!” Sam said.
“Sam?” the woman named Pamela asked.
“It's me. It's Sam”.
“Sam?”
“Yeah”.
“Sam, is that you?”
“I'm right here”.
Celeste realized that the woman was blind.
“Oh. Know how I can tell?” Pamela asked. She grabbed Sam’s behind. “That perky little ass of yours. You could bounce a nickel off that thing. Of course I know it's you, grumpy. Same way I know that's a demon, the other girl is part angel and that poor girl's Anna and that you've been eyeing my rack”.
Sam stammered, embarrassed.
Celeste giggled and felt bad for Sam.
“Don't sweat it, kiddo. I still got more senses than most”, Pamela said laughing.
“Got it”, Sam said.
“Hey, Anna. How are you? I'm Pamela”, she said walking over to Anna.
“Hi”.
“Dean told me what's been going on. I'm excited to help”.
“Oh. That's nice of you”.
“Oh, well, not really. Any chance I can screw over an angel, I'm taking it”.
“Why?”
“They stole something from me”. Pamela took off her glasses, revealing white eyes. “Demon-y, I know. But they're just plastic. Good for business. Makes me look extra-psychic, don't you think? Now...how about you tell me what your deal is? Hmm? Don't you worry”, Pamela reassured Anna and led her into the panic room.
Dean walked over to Celeste.
“How did she go blind?” Celeste
asked. Dean sighed and said, “I really don’t think you want to know”.
“Just…tell me”.
“She tried to see Cas’ true form and it burned her eyes out”.
Anna was lying on the cot and Pamela was seated next to the bed.
Sam sat on a bed stand next to the door and Dean sat on the work bench.
Celeste sat in the chair next to Dean.
“Nice and relaxed. Now, I'm going to count down from five to zero. When we're at zero, you'll be in a deep state of hypnosis. As I count down, just go deeper and deeper, okay? 5... 4... 3... 2... 1. Deep sleep. Deep sleep. Every muscle calm and relaxed. Can you hear me?” Pamela asked.
“I can hear you”, Anna said in a dreamy voice.
“Now, Anna, tell me... How can you hear the angels? How did you work that spell?”
“I don't know. I just did”.
Celeste turned to Dean. “What spell?” she asked.
“I don’t know. It was a bunch of weird symbols. She drew it when Cas and Uriel came to kill her”.
Celeste got up and grabbed a piece of paper and scribbled something down. She handed the paper to Dean.
“Yeah. It looked exactly like this”, he said.
“Dean, that’s an angel banishing sigil. It has to be done in blood and not many people know about that. Mostly angels and people who know about angels”.
“Your father... What's his name?” Pamela asked Anna.
“Rich Milton”.
“All right. But I want you to look further back... When you were very young... Just a couple of years old”.
“I don't want to”.
“It'll be okay. Anna, just one look -- that's all we need”.
“No”. Anna started to thrash around on the bed.
“What's your dad's name? Your real dad. Why is he angry at you?” Pamela asked Anna.
“No. No! No. No!”
“Calm down”.
“He's gonna kill me!” The lights started to flicker.
“Anna, you're safe”, Pamela said.
“No!” Anna screamed.
The door to the panic room slammed shut as the lights exploded and glass shattered.
“Calm down”, Pamela said again.
“He's gonna kill me!”
“It's all right, Anna”, Pamela said, staying calm.
“Anna?” Dean asked. Dean walked toward Anna.
“Dean, don't”, Pamela said.
Anna threw Dean across the room and Celeste rushed to his side.
“Wake in 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. Anna... Anna? You all right?” Pamela asked.
Sam and Celeste helped Dean up.
Anna opened her eyes and looked around. “Thank you, Pamela. That helps a lot. I remember now”, Anna said sitting up.
“Remember what?” Sam asked.
“Who I am”, Anna said.
“I'll bite. Who are you?” Dean asked.
“I'm an angel”.
They all went upstairs.
“Don't be afraid, I'm not like the others”, Anna said.
“I don't find that very reassuring”, Ruby told her.
“Neither do I”, Pamela added.
“So...Castiel, Uriel -- they're the ones that came for me?” Anna asked.
“You know them?” Sam asked her.
“We were kind of in the same foxhole”.
“So, what, were they like your bosses or something?” Dean asked.
“Try the other way around”, Anna said.
“I knew it. Castiel’s mentioned you a couple of times”, Celeste said.
“And he’s told me about you. In fact, his thoughts were never very far away from you. He’s fond of you, even though he doesn’t show it”.
“But now they want to kill you?” Pamela asked, getting back on subject.
“Orders are orders. I'm sure I have a death sentence on my head”.
“Why?”
“I disobeyed... which, for us, is about the worst thing you can do”.
“Oh my god. You fell”, Celeste said realizing.
“Meaning?” Dean asked.
“She fell to earth, became human”, Celeste explained.
“Wait a minute. I don't understand. So, angels can just become human? Then how was she born?” Sam asked pointing at Celeste.
“Because her father took a vessel and impregnated her mother. He didn’t completely fall. He didn’t rip out his grace”, Anna explained, “It kind of hurts. Try cutting your kidney out with a butter knife”.
“Come again?” Dean asked.
“My grace. It's... energy. Hacked it out and fell. My mother, Amy, couldn't get pregnant. Always called me her little miracle. She had no idea how right she was”, Anna said.
“So, you just forgot that you were God's little Power Ranger?”
“The older I got, the longer I was human, yeah”.
That was the one thing Celeste hoped Castiel never did. Fall.
“I don't think you all appreciate how completely screwed we are”, Ruby said chipping in.
“Ruby's right. Heaven wants me dead”, Anna said.
“And Hell just wants her. A flesh-and-blood angel that you can question, torture, that bleeds. Sister, you're the Stanley Cup. And sooner or later, Heaven or Hell, they're gonna find you”.
“I know. And that's why I'm gonna get it back”.
“Do you know how hard that is?” Celeste asked Anna, “I’m not a full angel, but I do know that’s very difficult”.
“What?” Sam asked.
“My grace”, Anna said.
“You can do that?” Dean asked.
“If I can find it”.
“Which is close to impossible”, Celeste said.
“So, what, you're just gonna take some divine bong hit, and, shazam, you're Roma Downey?” Dean asked.
“Something like that”, Anna said.
“All right. I like this plan. So, where's this grace of yours?”
“Lost track. I was falling about 10,000 miles per hour at the time”.
“Which is why it’s so impossible to find a lost grace”, Celeste said.
“Wait. You mean falling, like, literally?” Sam asked.
“Yes”.
“Like the way a human eye can see? Like a comet, maybe, or a meteor?”
“Why do you ask?”
“Okay”, Celeste said standing up, “I’ve had enough of this angelic business”. She left the house and went outside.
Dean found her later sitting on the hood of a beat up car. “What’s going on?” he asked.
“I’m thinking”.
“About?”
“Castiel. I don’t want him to fall”.
“Why would he fall?”
“For me. I haven’t seen him in person since he rescued me from the car wreck”.
“I was gonna go look for Anna, if you wanted to come with”.
Celeste kissed him on the cheek and said, “Thank you Dean. But I’ll be fine”.
After finding out Anna’s grace wasn’t where it was supposed to be, they took shelter in a nearby barn.
“We still got the hex bags. I say we head back to the panic room”, Dean said.
“What, forever?” Ruby asked.
“I'm just thinking out loud!”
As they started arguing, Celeste and Anna started hearing the whispers of the angels.
“Um... guys? The angels are talking again”, Anna said.
“What are they saying?” Sam asked.
“It's weird... Like a recording... a loop. It says, "Dean Winchester gives us Anna by midnight, or...”
“Or what?” Dean asked.
“…or we hurl him back to damnation”, Celeste finished.
Sam stepped in front of the fallen angel and the Nephilim. “Anna, Celeste, do you know of any weapon that works on an angel?” Sam asked them.
“To what? To kill them?” Anna asked.
Sam nodded.
“Nothing we could get to... Not right now”, Anna said, “Unless…” Anna looked at Celeste.
“What?” she asked.
“Do you not know?”
“Know what?”
“What happens when a Nephilim grows into their full powers?”
“Well what does happen?” Dean asked.
“Whole worlds die”, Anna told them.
“Woah. I don’t have that kind of juice”, Celeste said.
“No, but you could. And you will. It’s just a matter of time”.
The next morning, the doors of the barn blasted open and Castiel and Uriel entered.
“Hello, Anna. It's good to see you”, Castiel said. His eyes fell on Celeste. What was she doing here?
“How? How did you find us? Dean?” Sam asked.
Everyone looked at Dean, who had a guilty expression on his face. Dean turned to Anna and said, “I'm sorry”.
“Why?” Sam asked.
“Because they gave him a choice. They either kill me... or kill you. I know how their minds work”, Anna explained. Anna turned to Dean and kissed him goodbye.
Castiel stared at Celeste, wanting nothing more than to grab her and disappear.
They both knew that wouldn’t be possible.
“You did the best you could. I forgive you”, Anna told Dean, “Okay. No more tricks. No more running. I'm ready”.
“I'm sorry”, Castiel told her.
“No. You're not. Not really. You don't know the feeling”.
“Still, we have a history”.
Celeste could see the guilt and sadness in her angel’s eyes. She knew that
Castiel was fond of Anna, even if she didn’t think so.
“Orders are orders. Just make it quick”, Anna told him.
Demons appeared in the barn, along with a bleeding Ruby. They threw Ruby to the ground as Dean, Sam, Anna, and Celeste moved out of Uriel’s path.
Celeste was so close to Castiel, he could reach out and grab her wrist. Celeste watched as her angel went into soldier mode.
“Turn around and walk away now”, Castiel said.
Celeste moved closer to Castiel.
“Sure. Just give us the girl. We'll make sure she gets punished good and proper”, the demon said.
“You know who we are and what we will do”, Castiel told him, joining Uriel in front of him, “I won't say it again. Leave now... or we lay you to waste”.
“Think I'll take my chances”.
The angels and demons began fighting. Castiel tried to exorcise the demon, but nothing happened.
“Sorry, kiddo. Why don't you go run to daddy?” he said, knocking Castiel off his feet.
“No one fucks with my angel!” Celeste yelled, jumping on the demon’s back.
The demon cried out and slammed her into a wooden pillar.
“Stupid Nephilim”, he scoffed. He grabbed Castiel and started to exorcise him. “Potestas inferna, me confirma. Potestas inferna, me confirma. Potestas inferma, me confirma!”
“No!” Celeste yelled, scrambling to her feet. Dean hit the demon in the head with a crowbar. The demon rounded on Dean as Celeste rushed to Castiel’s side.
“Hey, hey, you okay?” she asked him.
“What are you doing here?”
“Same as you, idiot. Helping the Winchester’s”.
Anna grabbed her grace from around Uriel’s neck and smashed it. “Shut your eyes. Shut your eyes! Shut your eyes!” she yelled. Anna vanished, along with the demons.
Celeste helped Castiel up.
“Well, what are you guys waiting for? Go get Anna. Unless, of course, you're scared”, Dean said.
“This isn’t over”, Uriel told him.
Castiel put a hand on his shoulder, holding him back.
“Oh, it looks over to me, junkless”, Dean said.
Uriel disappeared, leaving Castiel.
“Go”, Celeste told him, “I’ll see you later”.
“Where the hell have you been?” Gabriel asked her as she arrived home.
“Gabe, it’s been a long couple of days. Can we not do this now?”
“You’ve been gone for three days Celeste!”
“Look, we can talk later. I’m tired and I’d like to take a shower”.
Gabriel rolled his eyes. “Fine. But you better believe that we are talking about this later”.
Celeste went upstairs and locked her bedroom door.
“I see you haven’t redecorated”, Castiel said.
“Shit. Don’t do that!”
“I…I’m sorry”.
Celeste walked up to him and wrapped her arms around him.
Castiel returned the gesture.
“I’ve missed you”, Celeste told him.
“As have I”.
“You know, Anna said I was never far from your mind…”
“I meant what I said when I told you I cared for you”.
Celeste pulled away from him. “But…?” she asked.
“But you know the rules of heaven”.
“Oh, fuck the rules! I love you Castiel!”
The two were silent.
“I know you’re going to argue that I can’t love you, but I do. I may be 18, but you’re it for me Cas. And I don’t care who knows it. Heaven can go fuck themselves”. Celeste put her hand on Castiel’s cheek and leaned up, pressing her lips to his.
