Mika's heart seemed to continue to break even in death as she watched Dean break and cry and beg for her help to get him through this process of living without her. She wished she could help, but until she could convince Castiel or another angel to let her be seen by Dean, it was hopeless. Yet it was clear he was sensing her in some way, so she knew she needed to keep pestering the angels for help.

She watched him turn in circles before going to the whiskey bottle and the edge of his bed where he stared exactly where she was standing, making her smile softly seeing that even though he couldn't see her, he was still so intune with her presence, he could somehow unknowingly pinpoint her location. Though the smile didn't last long as she watched him finish the whiskey bottle off, never wanting him to drown his sorrows in alcohol.

"I'm trying to do what I can to help you Dean, I just need Cas to agree in making you see me" she said, even though she knew he couldn't hear her either. She walked forward, her footsteps not even making a sound as she sat down beside him, her hand resting on his shoulder. "I'm always with you Dean, even when I'm not. You once told me I'm your flame when we found out who was my guardian, that I'm your strength, I'm still those things" she spoke, even though it was pointless.

The strigoi quickly launched herself at Lexi and Sam, with unnatural strength she threw Sam to the side and into the brick wall. The biggest impact happening on his back, making him groan as he dropped to the ground. "Sam!" Lexi called out, turning her head to the strigoi and daggering her eyes as she ran toward it, swiping her silver blade toward them, but it dodged easily enough, swinging it's arm round and down, a loud crunch sounding through as Lexi's shoulder dislocated and made her scream in pain.

Sam clambered up onto his feet and pulled his gun from his waist and, aiming it to fire off a couple of rounds, but he wasn't quick enough and he missed. The strigoi ran to him and punched him square in the jaw, her focus dropping from Lexi who grabbed her blade once more after dropping it, awkwardly holding it in her right hand as she was normally left handed. Running for the strigoi, she lunged forward managing to get a cut in its back to get it away from Sam. With a screech in pain it turned again to Lexi and threw her into the industrial bin, her body flying upward, crashing into the above escape ladder then down onto the bin and rolled off the ground. Her blade dropping by Sam.

"you bloody bitch!" the strigoi cursed at Lexi, walking toward her and lifting her up off the ground, punching her in the face and cutting her lip in the process. "that all you got?" Lexi coughed out with a smirk, even though she was hurting a lot more than she was prepared to let on. Sam grabbed the blade and crept onto his feet once more, creeping toward the strigoi and with a swift seemless lunge, plunged it into the strigoi's heart from behind, making it drop Lexi again. To play safe, Sam chopped the head off as well and threw it in the trash, panting.

"you alright?" he asked Lexi, helping her up onto her feet. "I've had worse, but also had better, you?" she replied, looking up at him. "same" Sam smirked, helping her back to the impala so they could head back to the bunker.

The drive back was slower than when they left as both of them hurt greatly, Lexi lifted her shirt up and saw bruising already appearing on her rib area of her abdomen and sighed in annoyance. But they did eventually reach the bunker. Sam managed to bring the bag in as Lexi walked with discomfort to the door, inside and down the stairs. "Dean! We're back!" Sam called out.
