Chapter Text
Rowena looks through the window and sees the Impala parking up outside her house. Dean is the first one out. His anxious expression made the witch feel uneasy. Dean has always been the hot headed one. She didn't want him throwing his weight around her house. Sam well Rowena hoped he be more understanding. She didn't want to die because she kept their mom's whereabouts a secret.
She hears pounding on the door. The witch didn't need to work which brother that was. She opens the door.
Dean brushes past her and walks into her living room.
"Where is she? Where's mom?"
Rowena lets the other hunter in and closes the door.
"I think it is best if you both sit down."
Dean stayed put. He folds his arms.
"I'm fine where I am."
"I'm sitting down."
Rowena sits behind her desk. She tried to relax but two big, tall hunters towering over her...yeah she couldn't relax.
"Tell us." Dean says sounding desperate.
Rowena sighs.
"Best if I go straight to the point...your mother is gone."
"Gone? Where did she go?" Sam frowned.
"I mean she's not on earth."
"What you saying?" Dean asks. He had a feeling that he knew the answer.
The witch sadly looks at the older hunter.
"I'm sorry."
Sam closes his eyes. He felt like he received a punch to the gut.
Dean shakes his head.
"No."
"Dean."
"No. She can't be gone. I was on the phone to her not long ago. Jack said..."
"Jack was lying. He and your mother got into an argument. He lost control and..."
"Stop." Dean cuts her off his voice cracking.
"Dean."
The elder Winchester paces up and down the room. His emotions in a turmoil. He didn't know how to react. One minute his mom is here the next minute she's gone.
On Jack's watch.
"Dean your mother is..."
"HE KILLED HER!" Dean yells. He throws Rowena's stuff off the table. "THE SON OF A BITCH KILLED HER."
I knew he was going to do that. Rowena sighed.
Rowena shakes her head.
"No Dean."
Sam was still in shock to say anything.
"He killed her and he lied." Dean repeats over and over.
"Your mother is..."
"WHAT THE HELL WAS JACK DOING WITH YOU? WHAT THE HELL WERE YOU UP TO? HUH?"
Rowena stands up and bangs the table with her fists
"YOUR MOTHER IS NOT DEAD!"
Dean goes quiet while Sam steps back by the unexpected yell. Rowena takes a deep breath and calms herself down.
"What I meant was your mother and Jack had an argument. He lost control and sent her somewhere that is not on earth."
"Another universe? He sent her to another universe?" Dean says angrily.
"No. She is in this universe."
"Where is she Rowena?" Sam asks.
Rowena looks at the younger hunter.
"Your mother is in the Empty."
Jack rose from the chair and checks the Prophet again. Its been a few hours since Jack made contact to the Empty and he really need to make contact again. Time is running out. The Winchesters will start to get suspicious.
Donatello was still out cold. The impact of the nephilim's grace has got to the Prophet. It drained him.
"Why can't you just wake up!" Jack yells with frustration.
Several bulbs burst causing the room to go dim. Jack glares at the shattered bulbs. He looks back at the Prophet with a panicked expression.
"I'm sorry Donatello but I have to do this."
His eyes go gold and he approaches the Prophet. He puts his hands by the sides of Donatello's head. Jack hesitates. He hoped he would find the spell somewhere in Donatello's head but last time this happened Donatello ended up in hospital on a life support machine. That was Cas's doing what the hell could Jack do? Jack is stronger he could kill the man.
Jack is desperate. He needed to get Mary back.
I'm sure Sam and Dean will understand. He thought.
He goes to put his hands on the Prophet.
Suddenly there was a knock on the door.
Jack turns round with an annoyed expression. Then he becomes worried.
Crap have the Winchesters found out? Have they found him?
The door knocks again. This made Jack anxious. Whoever it is they are not leaving. The nephilim creeps towards the window and pulls the curtain.
Outside stood a woman with long brown hair that went down to her shoulders. Her head turns towards the window. Her eyes lock on to Jack. Her smile widens.
Jack knew her. She's an angel. She is the one was possessed by the Shadow. Jack thought back to Cas's deal. The worry he once had about the deal is now gone. Jack didn't feel nothing about the possibility of losing the angel who he looks up to as a father figure
Jack looks at the mirror. He saw a small smile spreading across his lips.
What the hell?
Jack quickly drops the smile. He was smiling about losing Cas? He shouldn't be happy about that.
Jack shakes his head. Stress is getting to him.
While he is distracted Dumah appears outside the window. She taps on the glass. Jack jumps and turns again meeting the angel's eyes.
The nephilim opens the window.
Dumah smiles at the kid.
"Hello Jack, remember me?"
The Entity moves around the group. It's presence hits the two archangels hard. They felt like they are being pulled down. The Ruler of the Empty had no effect on Mary. Being human gave Mary an advantage.
"The nephilim did this?" The Shadow spat out.
Mary looks at the being who wore her face.
"You already know the answer." She answered.
Her reflection laughs. A laugh that sounded so foreign.
"Indeed I do. That little Devil has disturbed my slumber many times now. I was going to let Lucifer go, with him gone I can go back to sleep. Then Jack threw him back in, Michael woke up and you human came stumbling in shortly afterwards. Does that kid want to make my life a living Hell."
" Hell is my area of expertise. " Lucifer tried to joke.
The Entity turns and punches the Devil across the face. Lucifer holds his jaw and moans. He looks at the Mary lookalike.
"What is with mama Winchester wanting to hit me all the time."
Michael straightened up. His smug expression returns.
"I plan on returning to earth. You let me go , you will have less pain." He says.
"Do not let him go." Mary quickly says.
"I agree. Let me go. Like you said you were going to let me leave. " Lucifer nodded.
Michael shakes his head.
"And let the evil back on to the world." He scoffs "He wouldn't last he will be killed and he will be back to annoy you again."
"You shouldn't release that evil on to the world." Lucifer points at Michael. "He is beyond evil. He is a monster. He will get killed instantly the Winchesters will not let him destroy the world. Then he will be back here and he will annoy you."
"Don't let either of them out." Mary argues. "Let me go and I will find Jack. I'll get him to leave you alone."
"He will not leave it alone he is connected to me." Michael smirked. He looks at the Entity. "If you do not bring me back Jack will keep trying to get through to the Empty and he will continue to disturb you. "
"I can get Jack back on my side. I can get the kid to forgive me." Lucifer says "I can't if I'm stuck down here."
"Both of you have hurt Jack. It is for the best you both stayed away from him. " Mary says.
"He saved your life. He killed Nick." Michael argued. "You put him down telling him he did a bad thing. You hurt him Mary that's why he sent you away."
"At least I never took his grace." She glares at Lucifer as she said it. "Or had him as a prisoner." She growled at Michael.
The Shadow looks back and forth at the two archangels and the huntress. All three demanded to be let out. The Entity winced in pain. Too many awake, too many voices. The Cosmic Entity screams with rage and knocks the archangels and Mary down to the ground like bowling pins.
"I AM THE RULER OF THIS PLACE. I DECIDE WHO STAYS AND WHO GOES! THE KID HAS NO RIGHT TO INTERFERE WITH HOW I WORK. IT HAS TO STOP. IT WILL STOP RIGHT NOW."
"I really need to go." Lucifer begged.
"NO. NO ONE IS LEAVING."
"I don't belong here." Mary says.
"You do now." The Shadow sneered. "All of you belong here. When you go to the Empty you never return. I will make sure of it."
"Then we'll just keep bothering you." Lucifer says.
"No you won't."The Entity towers over the three of them. "You will go to sleep. You will stay asleep."
"That's not gonna happen." Lucifer glared.
Even Michael is shaking his head.
A smirk spreads across the Entity's lips.
"We'll see about that."
