Supernatural - Hell On The Horizon

NATALIA

The torture and attacks felt like they were going on forever. It wasn't the same as last time, this felt so much more brutal than before. Natalia almost couldn't take anymore and was ready to give up fighting, but she knew somewhere in the back of her mind that her family wouldn't want her to give up. She had to keep fighting to survive, even if it seemed no one was coming for her. Soon enough the growls and howls of hellhounds seemed to disappear, strangely giving Nat a deeper feeling of dread as it meant one of two things, the demons had killed the hounds and we're more powerful than she could ever imagine, or the demons were defeated and the hounds have just gone. Then came another attack making her scream loudly. "I'm begging...stop" she finally started to say, not being able to play the tough guy any longer. "I do love it when they beg!" Her torturer boasted proudly.

He gave her a moment, pretending to give her some solace but in actuality he was just thinking up what to do next. He had so much around him to use, it was a tough call to make. "Now....what should we do next? I gotta admit, didn't think we'd have all this time together. Clearly your family don't love you that nyuch if they're taking their time. Everyone in Hell knows how much Dean never wanted a sister, he resents you being in his life. You're a weak link....a liability" he rambled on, going for more psychological games. "No...he loves me! He does!" She cried, trying to focus on him saying as such at the car. "wrong! Dean doesn't care about anyone other than himself and Sam!" He snapped at her, rushing to her bed and slamming his hand on her broken shoulder, making her scream once again.

He had enough, she was being too difficult to break even more, so with his patience lost, he pushed her bed into the bath that was in built into the floor. "No..no....Plea--!" She begged before water splashed right over her and she began to get pulled under the water, the demon using his power to keep her down. She tried to get free from her restraints but every move hurt too much, she couldn't scream for fear of loosing breath. Eventually she couldn't fight anymore.....her eyes wanted to close so much, the water now stinging her eyes. She truly thought she was going to die alone with none of her family coming for her. Her whole life felt like her family was ripped from her. Her mother, her father, for 4 months she lost Dean which in turn made her feel like she lost Mika due to her grief. She was alone yet again, "no one has ever cared enough to save me...." she thought to herself, when in her blurred watery vision she caught an almost silhouette figure taking out the demon before her eyes closed and she decided to just welcome death....

SAM

Waiting in the truck, using all of his strength to not go after Anna, Sam kept his head on the backs of his hands that were resting on the steering wheel. He felt like every single time he tried to get Anna back and safe, something or someone came along and ripped her away from him. He knew deep down she was very warranted in hating him for leaving Cason but he was too concerned about getting as many people out as he physically could whilst not disobeying Dean. Yet again his need to keep on Dean's goodside won out over his instincts in at least trying to help Cason reach the door of the barn. His thoughts raced through all the possibilities that could be happening to the man and it just made him feel even more guilty. He couldn't deny that Cason hadn't exactly betrayed them yet, even if Cupid did make him sleep with Mika to get back at Dean's old feelings towards Esme and how it seemed Cason had become incredibly close to Natalia. Oh god...Nat. his mind raced a million miles an minute at what Nat could be going through in that blasted place. Another promise broken. He promised Anna to never let her get hurt again and that's exactly what happened- she got hurt to the point the nurse thought he hurt her, and now the promise of never letting anyone take Nat back to the asylum was also broken.

Tears finally got the better of him and he began crying into his hands, knocking his forehead against the backs of his hands a couple of times out of frustration. "Why do I keep messing up?!" He scolded himself, not even realising that Anna was coming back out and had been stopped by Dean. He was so tempted to just take Duke's truck and go after Nat but he couldn't bring himself to actually make the motions of doing so.

When Anna eventually did make it back to the truck, he quickly lifted his head up and wiped his tears away with the sleeve of his shirt. Sighing to try and gather himself so he didn't start bawling once more, glancing towards the passenger side door waiting for her to get back inside. "You okay? Medically I mean...I know emotionally you're not" he quietly spoke to her.

MIKA

The moment Dean clung onto her for dead life, she knew he needed this more than she did and he was so close to breaking point. She knew him too well. His words only confirmed what she assumed, "we're not gonna lose anyone else and we're definitely not losing Nat. We're not out of luck yet" she told him just as his phone buzzed with the update about Duke. She sighed with relief that he was seemingly still kicking and fighting to survive, it meant that although he may not be out of the woods just yet, his survival rate was getting higher than Nat's. "Okay...that's good...he's still got fight in him and okay, we'll go together and get our girl. We can't let her think she's been abandoned again" she told him, looking towards the impala before back at Dean again and subsequently Anna as she came back out.

She let Dean grab Anna to ask her to keep Sam here. Mika knew that if Sam came along he'd be a liability. He could barely keep his head together from tonight's situation and he needed to talk things through with Anna. She couldn't blame Anna for being hostile towards Dean, it was his word that made them all leave Cason behind after all. She kept quiet as she let Dean beg Anna to just do this one thing for them both. "Thank you Anna" she spoke, in the hopes the girl heard her as she walked off back to the truck and to Sam. Turning her head back to Dean, she gave a firm nod in agreement, taking his hand and walking to his car with him, getting in the passenger side with no other words spoken.

Closing the door once in, she kept her head forward, me tally going through all the scenarios they could be getting into but she had quickly shake them off her mind because every one was trying to prepare her for finding Natalia dead somewhere in that damn place. She couldn't think like that, she had to believe Nat was still kicking and screaming and making it as difficult as she could for the demons that had her. She also had to force herself not to put some blame on Esme for Nat being taken as the message was for Esme on the pamphlet. They took Nat to get her to go back and that didn't sit well with Mika in the slightest. She was trying so hard to like Esme and get passed her past with Dean, but this current situation wasn't helping. She just couldn't express that thought to Dean.

"No matter what....we get her out and alive. She has to know we didn't abandon her" she remarked as she waited for Dean to start the engine and drive off.

----

It took a good while to reach that dreaded sight before them that was the asylum. The hour it nearly took to get there felt like an eternity to Mika. The longer they were on the road, the more anxious she got. She felt like every minute that went by it was a minute closer to loosing Natalia. But then the decrepit building came into view. A view she thought she had erased from her mind, but the moment she saw it again, she remembered that night like it was yesterday. Her waiting by the impala as lookout whilst Sam and Dean went inside, fought demon after demon before she saw them running out with Sam carrying Natalia out in his arms. Nat looked like a skeleton in comparison to what she looked like now. The building looked even more worn down than before if that was even possible. More vines and weeds had grown up the walls and through broken windows that were badly boarded up. The staircase to the entrance was even more broken up and didn't look safe to step in the slightest. Even a lot of the roof seemed to have caved in so ce they were last here. "I don't like this Dean...." She said, worried about what they were about run into.

After a few deep breaths, she opened the door and got out of the car, walking round to the trunk and cranking it open to grab whatever she could carry to arm herself. If the last time they were here was anything to go by, the demons in there were not going to make life easy for them. She waited for Dean to get out and kitted up, before she then headed to the building, gripping her gun tightly in her hand, flashlight above it. As they reached the door she quickly went on guard and stopped in her tracks as demons came out from all angles, surrounding them both. "You think we didn't plan for you to come for her when we specifically told the blonde to come alone?" A brunette female demon spoke, all arrogance in tone and body language. "Get 'em!" She ordered before demons started charging them all all around.

NATALIA

With a signal, the water stopped pouring on her head and the cloth got removed. Natalia started coughing as she felt air reach her lungs once more. "now let's start again shall we? Why is Cason obsessed with you?!" Davos asked once more, "he isn't!" She said back, still determined to protect Cason and herself, even if it meant this torture continued. Davos again didn't approve of her answer, "lies. We all know that's pure lies. You think we don't know he betrayed us by keeping you alive here last time? Oh we knew he was taking pity on you!" Davos retorted, deciding to play dirty with his words sooner than he originally planned. Natalia's eyes went wide when he told her they knew the whole time. She was certain all that time ago Cason got away with not being found out. Her memory was foggy at best, but being reunited with Cason did open up memories enough for her to know what was real and what was false. Seeing her reaction brought glee to Davos, he knew in that instance he was getting somewhere, despite Natalia's insistence on lying. "if I died you'd have never gotten any information about my brother's or dad. You'd have never found a link to get close to them!" Nat quickly started to concoct an idea in her head to try and spin a theory of Cason not actually betraying them, but playing her instead. It seemed to be enough as she saw Davos' eyes twitch as he thought about her words.

"Think about it. Playing good cop with me means he'd get close. If he's betrayed anyone it's me!" She continued, of course she didn't believe any single word she was spinning but she was desperate and now thinking 'what would Dean do?' in this situation. Mind games. She had to try and mind games. This however didn't seem to go down well as Davos quickly punched her in the side of her face. "You may have a point but you know why I'm not believing it fully? Of course you don't, you're a mere human and a cocky Winchester at that. The reason why is because he's still hanging around your little group! Word has it he's gone soft for you. But here's the thing....we got word he's dead. Alastair didn't like his games and got bored, so we just killed Cason. No more demon lap dog for you!" Davos spoke, smirking finally feeling smug once again as his words clearly had the desired effect. Nat thrashed her arm against her restraints, desperately trying to break free to attack him before beginning to cry at the thought of Cason dead. He can't be dead, he just can't be. He was her solace to recovery, her reason to keep fighting and living. She loved him even if he couldn't ever feel the same toward her back, even if he was never able to tap into his old human feelings, she still loved him.

Davos and his lackie started laughing, finally. They were wetting somewhere with the most stubborn hunter they've had to deal with in a short while. "I knew it! You do have feelings for him!" He chuckled. "It's not like that!" Nat cried, trying to convince them of something she couldn't lie about. "as if we'd ever believe anything you'd say! You do realise even if he WAS alive, he's a demon! He'd never love you!" Davos said with malice and conviction, really twisting the verbal knife into her heart. She shook her head, being in denial that Cason didn't feel ANYTHING for her, tears streaming down her now rapidly swollen cheeks. Davos then looked to his lackie and have the signal to have his fun with the Winchester. "have at her. After tonight's ambush, the boys won't be able to stand much more, so if this one dies, she dies and it all goes in our favour" he explained, turning on his heel to leave. But before he exited the room, he paused by the door frame and looked over his shoulder, "try not to die too quickly for him pet. Keep that false hope that your demon bodyguard will come save you. If youre lucky, maybe you'll see each other again back in Hell" he smirked, then left the room.

Natalia's screams echoed through the building, she couldn't take much more, the seering pain coursing through her a hammer came down on her shoulder, breaking it. A knife carving through the skin on her abdomen. She didn't know how much more she could take, the pain from the broken shoulder just overtaking everything else. Tears streaming down her face as she tried to ignore the pain and come to terms with the news that Cason was gone. He wasn't coming to save her like last time, no one was coming for her. For all she knew they were all dead or if any were alive then they were too focused on themselves. She wouldn't blame them if they chose to ignore her and leave her for dead. She was the ticking time bomb emotion wise, she was the one Dean considered a liability in her eyes. Maybe it would be better if she did just die here in the place that started it all.

In the distance, she heard screams and growls of hellhounds. 'whats one more new torture to add to the list?' she thought to herself, thinking the hounds were here for her.

SAM

Anna's cries and begging was tearing Sam apart. He did want to go back for Cason, he really did but he knew if he did it would just get them all killed. He saw how the barn lights began to flicker, a sign he knew all too well when it came to demons. "Anna we can't....I'm so sorry...to you and him...." He told her, trying to his hardest to not let his voice crack.

When she stopped screaming as they got half way up the hill he felt equally relieved and terrified of her silence. He just somehow knew she was beginning to resent him and not have faith in his decision making. He didn't like he was following Dean's decision so blindly but he didn't know what else he could have done. He couldn't have carried Anna and Cason and he knew as strong Mika was, she couldn't have carried Cason by herself. He continued to walk up to the cars, deciding that as Dean and Esme were choosing the impala to take Duke to the hospital, he would take Duke's truck. He saw Mika picking up something off the floor after plucking something out of the impala's window. It was weird and highly suspicious to him, he knew they had all doors closed when they left Natalia in there, but why wasn't Natalia in the car? "What's going on?" He asked but wasn't expecting anyone to answer him as Mika soon answered his burning question by talking to Dean.

His blood ran cold, he felt like all colour drained from his face when he heard those dreaded words: 'They've taken Nat'. It felt like the world was crumbling away from under his feet and he was ready to brace himself for the neverending fall. He couldn't speak, the very basic skill knowledge to do so just vanishing out of his brain. He barely heard Dean ask Mika to say again what she just stated, all their voices sounding like far away echoes. He only mentally came back into the scene when Dean screamed his frustration and fear. He knew Dean wouldn't be able to take much more, that his brother on the edge of just throwing it all in and declaring he was out. His own hands balling up into fists to try and stop them from shaking. He watched as Mika's hands shook as she held onto the three things. Two of which he recognised instantly, the old photo Nat had on her from the day they saved her and her asylum wristband. The third he didn't recognise. That was until Esme came round from the other side of the impala and took it from Mika's hands.

Seeing Esme react the way she did told him that she knew more about whatever was on that pamphlet than she had ever let on in the past. But he couldn't even be suspicious of why Esme was reacting this way because he was too scared he was about to lose their only sister. He vowed from the first day they discovered Nat was a Winchester that he would protect her and would never let her get taken back to the asylum, but here Esme was suddenly saying that's exactly where Nat was. He wanted to punch something...anything but there was nothing to punch. He stepped round in a restless and hopeless circle, holding his head with his hands as he tried to not cry. He listened to Esme read the message out loud, analysing the words she had spoken, "you were there too....that's why you know where she is" he said in disbelief. Lowering his hands once more he felt more antsy and like a complete failure to Natalia.

MIKA

She never thought she would be telling Dean those words, especially on an already tightly strung chaotic and emotional night, but here Mika was saying exactly those words: Natalia has been taken. She looked at everything in her hands, the pamphlet in one hand and the photo with wristband in the other. Her hands were shaking as she stared at the items, tears pricking the edges of her eyes. Over time she had begun to feel so responsible and maternal towards Natalia even though she would be more like a sister to her, she still felt like it was her job to be a mixture of a sister and morher like influence on the girl.

She let Esme come round the car and take the pamphlet from her hands, unable to stop Esme. She really didn't want to say the words a second time so when Anna said them for her as Esme took the item, she just stood there. She looked up at Dean as he grappled with thoughts in his head and the new bit of information. Hear him scream into the night sky about this situation made her wince slightly and finally let the tears fall. She didnt know whether to comfort Dean or keep her distance as he tried to compute everything going on. "Dean.... we'll get her back" she said before Esme read the note out loud, making her look to the woman. "You're not going alone...no frigging way. Nat is our family we're getting back" she said. She couldn't just sit back letting Esme do a rescue mission alone. Looking around at their group, she saw how Sam was also struggling with everything, she knew what Sam had always promised Nat and knew this must be absolutely tearing him apart thinking he had failed Nat.

After a few seconds of compressing their dire situation, she finally spoke up. "Okay...we all get Duke to the hospital and then we decide what to do to get our girl back. I'll take Nat's car, Sam you and Anna take Duke's truck and Esme you go with Dean in Baby." She instructed, not even thinking about what she was telling Esme to do. Only Nat mattered right now.

AT THE HOSPITAL

Mika stood and leaned on Nat's car as she waited outside with Sam and Anna whilst Dean and Esme helped the doctors and nurses put Duke onto a gurney and rushed him into the hospital. Her arms folded across her chest, left foot over her right, dwelling on the little information they knew about where Natalia was. It was either think about the rescue mission or continue getting worried sick about Duke and hoping he survived this injury. She loved Duke like another brother. He always had her back even when he was off hunting with Dean and Esme, and she always could talk with him via a burner phone in secret to find out how Dean was doing during their long break. He was the only one other than Bobby who actually had any kind of empathy or sympathy for her. She couldn't bare loosing him, she just took scared to admit that to either Dean or Esme incase they thought she had no right to feel this way.

"Please survive this brother" she mumbles under her breath as a silent prayer to Duke. Her thoughts got interrupted when Sam came over and hugged her, "I get it Meeko...they both need to come back to us in their own way" Sam told her, making Mika just break and clung tightly to him. "I'm scared we won't come back this if Duke dies and we don't get Nat back. I'm more terrified Dean won't come back from this....I can only be his anchor to such a limit. If we lose them, I'll lose him, I can't go through that again" she admitted to him, burying her head in his chest to try and stop her crying. "We'll get them both back, I'm determined to fight til my dying breath to make it happen. I swore to Nat I'd never let her get taken back there, I have to make this right" he told her, before sighing and pulling away, wiping her tears from her cheek and stepping back to Anna.

Seeing her still in the truck, he got back in in the driver's side and sat there in silence. "I need you to forgive me Anna" he quietly said before a nurse came out and started talking to Anna about her own injuries, then giving him a suspicious look. Even though it didn't make him look any more innocent, he looked down at the steering wheel, his hands firmly on it as his brain told him exactly what this nurse was thinking. "They're right Anna...go get checked out, I'll be here" he mumbled.

He let Anna go into the hospital with the nurse before lowering his head onto his hands. "This is such a mess" he sighed to himself. Outside, Mika saw Dean come back outside to them all, still looking as worried as ever. Hesitantly at first, she walked over to him and just hugged him. "He's a fighter Dean...he's too stubborn to die on us" she told him, refusing to let him go. "so for now, let's get a plan together to get our girl back" she suggested, pulling away just enough to look him in the eyes, stroking his cheek with her thumb. She only pulled away more when his phone off with a text from Esme.

"From out of Nowhere" - SPN

SAM

Seeing Anya smile brightly at his explanation on how to win Dean over. The way her whole face seems to light up when she genuinely smiled like that was so sweet and refreshing to see. She seemed like a totally different person when she smiled that brightly, like there was an air of confidence ins her just dying to come out more often. With the movie playing again, he settled back into a comfortable position and watched the rest of the film.

When the film finished, he ejected the dvd and put it back in its case before turning the TV off as Anya got up off the bed and stretched. Getting up himself, he took did a stretch before walking round to the other side of the room. He smiled at her words, glad that he could be a part of her feeling truly relaxed. "I'm glad. I know how hard it is to feel properly relaxed some days" he replied to her. "So...kitchen?" He suggested with a shrug and smile, pointing in the direction of his door. He had to admit, now they they had finished watching the film, he was feeling peckish and could do with heading to the kitchen to grab something.

LEXI

Lexi had no idea that Dean was fighting the same urge as she was, but seeing his raised eyebrows at her words, turn into a proud smirk made her smile all the more. There really was something about that damn smile of his that just made her heart do skips and flips in her chest. She hadn't felt that since the very first day she met her except. She didn't even think anyone could make her feel that anymore, but here Dean was proving her completely wrong.

She smiled more at his reply of being happy to be of service. A light chuckle escaping her lips at his remark. "why are you making it so hard to not reach across to you?" she thought to herself, glancing back at him when he brought the conversation back to work. She had to admit, he had a point. Guys like who they're about to see, usually did bolt if another guy showed up but the moment a woman turned up? They instantly felt they were on an advantage. "Makes sense, if it is a kid like I think then chances are he'll feel more comfortable if it's just me that appears. But I know you got my back" she replied to him, looking right at him whilst he continued to drive. "I'll get what we need our of him and just walk back to the car. If I need you I'll give some kind of signal behind my back" she suggested. In her eyes, discreet signals always worked a charm, but she was also very much aware that there could be a time when they don't.

Kay couldn't help but watch John as he stood up. "Okay, so where do we start to research the myth? I wanna help John, I wanna know more about my birth right and ancestry as much everyone else. If not more so, if that history has answers then even better" she replied.

The Lux Bar

Chas, Josh and Fia all watched on as Lucifer stood up from the grand piano and walked over in his theatrical manner before hugging Serena then shaking Chas' hand. Chas shook it back to be civil, "this is Fia, Josh and Drake." He introduced them, keeping it brief. "John has other plans to work through, helping a friend in need, which is also partly why we're here" he explained. He really didn't want to give permission for Lucifer to use his power on the kids but he knew there was no other option.

When John looked at her, she looked at him back, taking in his words and not knowing how to react to that partial theory. "I guess it's possible...I mean, it wasn't long ago when I didn't even think any of this was real and I was descendant of an original phoenix. But here we are" she replied. "it's as good a theory as any" she added.

The Lux Bar

"We'll get it in check, we're on a job" Chas told Drake as they all followed them up and i to the lift. Maze smirked when Serena asked what she did, "well let's see....he's smitten with the detective still, and still got issues with his brothers, so best not ask about family." She advised her before the lift bell pinged to let them know they made it to the penthouse. The doors opened and Maze led them through, "luci! Guests!" She called through.

Supernatural - Hell On The Horizon

NATALIA

Her eyes began to scrunch tightly as she came to with just as a big headache as she did earlier. Still dazed, she thought for a moment she was in the Impala but somehow was laying down across the seat. So when she opened her eyes and got blinded by a piercing white light, she started to panic. Desperately, she went to sit up but couldn't move, looking down seeing exactly where she was. "no....no no no...not here...not again" she whimpered, trying so hard not to cry as everything she had partially shut off in the back of her mind came flooding to the front. "I can't be here....I can't...." She continued to whimper and cry. Not only was she back here but she was back here without Cason to free her. She was alone, the others no where in sight, only the grime and mold on the tiled walls to be her company.

"About time you woke up" the gruff demon from the barn area spoke up, walking over to her and leaning over her, his black eyes staring into her own hazel brown eyes. She wanted to say something snarky but no matter how much she tried, she couldn't open her mouth. "Cat got your tongue all of a sudden?" He laughed, "well that's just fine.. we can make you speak and we know you know that all too well" he toyed with her, pulling out a surgical blade from his pocket. Nat found herself shaking her head in an attempt to beg him not to do this, even though it was useless. He was right, she did know what they were capable of and making her speak or scream. Lowering the knife down, the demon pressed down on her arm, twisting the knife as if playing with her like she was a doll. Nat started whimpering and whining from the pain. That wasn't enough for her torturer however as he lifted the knife and slammed it into her shoulder hard and fast, leaving it to protrude. This did make Nat scream and sob uncontrollably, the hot seering pain her shoulder felt blinstsbtly unbearable.

"More like it!! What other noise can we get out of you! Let's play shall we?!" He grinned sadistically, waving his arm to his comrade Davos to bring in the equipment. Nat shaking on the gurney as blood seeped out of her shoulder and down her arm. "But let's give you a chance to earn a break, I feel generous" he commented, "I'm not telling you anything" she said with anger, despite the tears falling down her cheeks. "Oh yes you will...why does Cason keep you as his?!" He demanded to know. "he doesn't!" She cried back. Wrong answer. A wet towel got pressed against her face whilst a lot of water got chucked on top of it- waterboarding her. Struggling to breath, she frantically thrashed against her restraints.

[b]SAM AND MIKA[\b]

Sam used his entire arm strength to keep Anna upright, wanting to just scoop her up into his arms bridal style to carry her out, but she was hot and sweating from the demon blood consumption. It broke his heart knowing she was probably forced to do it to try and stay alive and try to escape before they got there. He felt guilty for leaving her in that position even though he didn't deliberately do such a thing. He glanced around him at everyone in an heightened emotional state. Seeing his brother clearly distressed at seeing how bad Duke was whilst Mika was desperately trying to break Cason free with her bare hands due to not seeing the crow at nearby. He kept Anna out of the way beside him, ready to just scoop her up and get her out of the barn before it was too late when Mika's call to Dean to help her free Cason made him snap his head towards her. He saw her shaking her hands and assumed she just hurt them trying to find a way to open the neck restraint. He didn't even notice the tiny bit of smoke coming off her palms as she hid it instantly, but not so quickly that Cason wouldn't have noticed it.

He watched on as Dean stormed over, seeing his anger boil over, Sam knew it was quite possibly game over for Cason. He tried to shield Anna's face from whatever Dean was about to do as he didn't want her to see it. Anna was too close to Cason and she was already distressed enough as it was. He couldn't hear what Dean was saying to the man, not could Mika but they couldn't stop themselves from watching anyway, both wincing as Dean stabbed Cason to make his point, whatever it was, perfectly clear. Mika found herself using one hand to cover her mouth as she watched Dean just be brutal to Cason before freeing him from the wall. Neither of them could see how Natalia would ever forgive Dean for this if she had witnessed what they just did. Watching Dean step away, chucking the bar on the floor and walking back to Duke.

Sam forced himself to focus solely on Anna again, whilst Mika remained close to Sam and Anna to help him if he needed it. They saw Dean get help from Esme to hoist Duke off the ground and begin to vary him out of the barn, when Mika couldn't take it anymore, she HAD to help Cason. Yet as she stepped closer to him, Dean gave her the look and head shake to say 'leave him'. Her heart shattered when she got that silent command, putting her head down and started to follow them towards the barn doors. Then came the desperate pleas from Anna, begging them not to leave Cason, making Mika and Sam both close their eyes briefly to force themselves to not cry and give in. "....I'm sorry Anna .." Sam said sadly to Anna, opening his eyes and looking at her, sadness and sympathy in his eyes as he grabbed Anna, hoisted her up off the ground and carried her out the barn behind Dean, Duke, Esme and Mika.

------

Making it to the cars, something was off. Mika saw the impala door open and something bellowing in the breeze in the window. "Oh no...." She sighed, thinking Nat made a run for it. So she jogged ahead of everyone and ripped the paper out of the window. It was a pamphlet for the asylum Nat was once at. Then her eyes glanced downward and saw what she never wanted to see on the ground. Slowly bending down, she picked the items up before turning the others. "they took Nat" she simply stated with fear in her voice.

I am the fire - Constantine RP

As John replied to her, Kay continue to listen. But her ears picked up when John seem to have some kind of idea beginning to form in his mind. At his question about the links between Nyx and Hades, she thought back to all her teenage days of studying. "I think so yeah? Last time I read mythology anyway" she replied to him. "It's not as well known though compared Hades and Persephone as far as I'm aware. Why? What's your theory?" She said back, curious to what was going through his mind.

THE LUX BAR

When Drake elbowed her, Fia scowled at him, rubbing the area where he did it. She hated it when people did that and the fact Drake has knowing it meant she really had truly hurt him with her discovery and theory. "fine...sorry" she whispered back to him, clearly annoyed still. Chas sighed when the kids seemed to still bicker between themselves, "cut it out both of you" he scolded in a hushed tone, showing he wasn't in the mood for teenage tantrums. After scolding the kids, he looked back at Serena going up to Maze and hugging her, explaining why they were all here. 'at least someone can stay professional' he thought to himself.

Maze hugged her back before pulling away when she heard Serena say she was with John Constantine now. Raising an eyebrow, she glanced passed Serena at the kids and at Chas. "Chas.." she simply greeted, "Maze" he greeted back. Maze then looked back at Serena, "to answer your question Lucy is here, he's just upstairs, let me take you all up. He's gonna be so happy to see you. Surprised, but happy" she told her, leading them up the stairs to the private elevator that took them all to Lucifer penthouse suite.

Supernatural - Hell On The Horizon

NATALIA

Nat did truly mean her promise of trying to stay awake while the others were gone. She also was hoping she wouldn't be throwing up anytime soon again. She just wanted to get out of here with the others and more impeotywith Cason. She found herself slumping against the seat, remembering how comfortable Dean's car actually was. Then Dean finally came over after talking and comforting Esme, signalling for her to wind the window which she did, she forced herself to look at him as he leaned in. She listened to his explanation and plea for her to stay out, making her sigh back at him. Yet the one thing that surprises her was him telling her he did actually love her. She couldn't remember Dean ever telling her that before, but maybe that was due to her head absolutely hurting like hell. "...I love you too Dean....I'll stay here, I promise" she told him, wanting him to see she truly meant her words, even if they were slightly slurred. "I don't plan on going anywhere, just trying to stay awake" she added, before letting him lead the group back to the barn.

The silence was unbearable as she rolled the window back up, so she put on one of Dean's cassettes in the hopes that the music would keep her awake. She hated being on her own, she wanted nothing more than to find Cason but she knew she was in no fit state to do so and it tore her apart. "please come back Cason...." She begged into the air, a tear falling down her face. Lifting her hand up, she wiped the tear with the back of her hand before out of habit, running that same hand over her face and through her hair, catching the bloody spot at the back which made her wince and hiss from the pain. "Ow dammit!" She cursed to herself before deciding to lean forward and check Dean's glovebox for anything she could use to put pressure on the head wound. "lease Dean have something in this car" she muttered to herself as she rifled through it.

Initially she found nothing then she found a relatively clean napkin which she grabbed, closed the glovebox and placed the napkin on the back of her head. Leaning back in the seat, her eyes felt incredibly heavy and she knew she had to fight to stay awake until the others got back. She just hoped when they did one of them would drive her car for her as she was clearly in no fit state to drive herself. "How did this go so wrong?" She asked herself but thinking just made her head swim even more.

A short while later when it was clear she was utterly on her own, two figures approached the car. Leaning down and looking into the window they could see Natalia was failing at staying awake, her eyes in a battle of opening and closing. Smirking to themselves, one reached for the handle and tried it, seeing she wasn't smart enough to lock it. "Idiot, didn't even lock the door" the second younger one commented. Cranking the door open, Nat opened her eyes and looked up, "Dean?" She questioned in a foggy manner, not catching that it wasn't her family coming back already. "not this time pet" the broader male replied, making Nat open her eyes a bit wider, "shit!" She slurred, swinging around to try and kick them back but all she accomplished was falling out the car in a daze. "oh this is going to be easy. Davos did a number on her throwing her off the roof" he laughed, squatting down and rummaging through her pockets, pickpocketing her childhood photo, chucking it on the floor beside them.

"Add the wristband and let's get going" the broader, gruffer demon instructed to his comrade as he lifted Nat over his shoulder in an undignified manner. With Nat on his shoulder, her belongings on the floor in front of the impala, they left in the dark.

SAM AND MIKA

Fully equipped, both Sam and Mika followed Dean and Esme back across to the barn. Mika was still mentally fighting off the intrusive jealous thoughts over how close Dean and Esme were being, reminding herself it was just because of Duke and nothing more. She had to keep her mind on the job at hand. Ontop of that, she was also worried about Nat being on her own in the car, a horrible sinking feeling in the pit of her stomach about her as well as the others. She also didn't know how she could have promised Nat she wouldn't let Dean kill Cason if he saw him and would bring him back to her. "you okay?" Sam quietly asked her, "yeah...just worried about what we'll find in the barn and worried about Nat. I don't like leaving her alone" she replied back just as quietly. Sam gave a nod, he hated leaving his little sister alone as well but they all knew it was for the best. He also was worried out of his mind about Anna and he was terrified about what the demons could have her doing if they were in the barn. If she was rabid on demon blood it would make their lives so much harder to get her to focus. He couldn't lift his hand off of his gun, too afraid of not being able to grab it quickly enough if they got ambushed.

Reaching the barn, he stopped as did Mika, seeing the signals they both knew all too well from Dean. Two demons. Okay this shouldn't be too difficult they thought, even if it felt a bit too easy. They let Dean lead the way before following behind Esme to see the second demon smoke out after seeing the other one get killed by Dean. He agreed with his brother that having one smoke out wasn't strictly a good sign. Walking round to the front of the barn doors, Sam was ready to help Dean open them but it seemed Dean had it covered before he could help. "Let's get this over with" he told the group, letting Dean go in first as Sam and Mika tried to judge the situation by his reaction. It wasn't looking good. The moment Sam got let in from behind Dean, he rushed in and saw the state of Anna and Cason bolted to the side wall. "Anna!" He exclaimed, running over to her and kneeling down, checking how she was chained to the wall before rapidly figuring out a way to feed her. "you okay? Stupid question...you're not. I'm gonna get you out" he told her, glancing over at how bad Cason was looking. Nat wasn't going to be happy about this.

Following the others in after Esme ignored Dean's order to stay back and rushed in to find Duke, Mika walked in and gasped at what she saw. Looking down she saw Duke's bloody hat on the ground near herself and Dean, before spotting where Esme ran to. "Oh god..." She whispered in shock. She tried to hold her emotions together, knowing how hard Dean and Esme are taking this. A single tear fell down her face, hoping that Duke was still alive. She couldn't handle anymore grieving for people she held dear to her. Forcing herself to remain focused, she went over to Anna and Cason to help Sam free the two of them. "I can't get the chains free" Sam told Mika, his panic overriding his thoughts. "you can do this Sam" she reminded him before he nodded and took a couple of deep breaths. More focused now, he managed to break the chain and feed Anna first. "I got her, you get Cason" he told Mika, something that Mika was hoping he wouldn't have said.

"Right" she simply replied, gulping slightly as she recognised the chain around Cason's neck was made of iron. She stepped back enough to let Sam lift Anna up onto her feet and carry her out of the way before she stepped forward again to Cason. "Cason, you better not be dead or we're gonna have one very volatile Natalia on our hands. Come on man...she needs you right now" she told him, hoping her words would encourage him to respond to her. He was in such a bad way, she didn't have hope he would survive this. She saw how badly he had been wounded and not just by the neck restraint. "Don't make me slap you you son of a bitch...you cannot die on Nat, do you hear me?" She told him sternly, but it was clear she was barely holding it together.

Lifting her hands up finally, she shakily checked how his restraint was bolted to the wall before reluctantly reaching out to touch the iron. She tried to fight through the burning on her hands to unlock it but it was too much, she pulled her hands back quickly, giving them a shake as if she was shaking the trembling away and not the real reason of shaking the burning sensation out. "Dean! I can't get this damn lock! You gotta help!" She called out to him. She didn't want to ask Dean for the help but he was the only one available to help.

I am the fire - Constantine RP

Kay listened to what John was telling her. She couldn't help but get the sense that when he said emotional hold over John, there was more to it and the two men certainly had some kind history that wasn't strictly business. Though it didn't bother her in the slightest if that was the case. She forced the thoughts out of her head when he brought up about working on what Drake thought was the case. "it's possible I guess? I wouldn't even know where to begin figuring out that theory." She replied to him, stepping over and sitting opposite him. "Could Bane really be linked to whatever is coming for me?" She asked.

LA, THE LUX BAR

The group noticed how Serena seemed to know what to do when they all got inside, which didn't help Fia's suspicions that Serena was involved somehow in her mother's corruption. If she kept just how well she knew Lucifer and Maze from them, then what else was she keeping them? She didn't want to think ill of Serena, she was like a aunt to her, but she also couldn't let her emotions get in the way of how important it was to her to save her mother.

As they all looked around at the empty bar, they all tried to see anyone who would greet them in any manner. Fia and Chas prepared for an ambush deep down even though they were outwardly seeming relaxed. "I'm here!" Maze called out as she appeared out a side door up the top of the stairs above them. "Lucifer is on his way down. What brings you guys here?" She asked, walking down the stairs, acknowledging Chas with a simple nod but had raised eyebrows at the sight of Drake, Josh and Fia.

"And who are these people?" She asked. "Doesn't matter who we are" Fia said before she couldn't stop herself. "ooh..she's a firey one" Maze smirked. "you have no idea" Fia retorted. "Fia cut the sass" Chas whispered to her.

"From out of Nowhere" - SPN

SAM

The moment Anya smiled softly after he said he would like to get to know her better, he felt relieved that she didn't feel like running off and he wasn't coming across as a bad guy. He wanted to see the good in Anya, as he did with most people. He trusted his gut with Lexi and that proved to be right, considering she was now out on the road with Dean, and he was trusting his gut instincts with Anya. He knew out of both he and Dean, he was the more optimistic one and more trusting one, and it didn't always go in his favour but he wasn't going to stop because of a few bad people.

Hearing her express that she would also like to see where this friendship could go made him smile a bit more. It felt like a weight had been lifted off his chest now that it seemed the awkwardness was lifting from the room. "Okay, we can finish the film first" he replied initially to her wish of wanting to continue watching Dirty Dancing. He went to go press play again on the movie, not fully remembering when he could have even pressed pause, when Anya expressed how she wanted to express her own thanks by cooking.

He chuckled, feeling a sense of deja vu. Lexi made the same offer when she first got brought to the bunker and it made him see that maybe there was similarities between the two women, even if it seemed Anya was probably younger than Lexi. "I would say I can't have a guest cooking but I've learned my lesson from that." He laughed, causing a strand of his hair to fall in front of his face which he quickly tucked behind his ear.

"Lexi made the same offer and it definitely won't Dean over. So if you really want to get him on your side? I say after the film, I'll take you to the kitchen so you can see what we got and let you go wild in there" he smiled.

LEXI

Brushing off his advanced wasn't her objective, but it seemed that Lexi was still learning how to properly flirt all over again. She didn't know why she was being like this after they had already shared a kissing moment in this very car much earlier on in the day. She did really like Dean, he brought her out of herself more than anyone had since her own fiancé got murdered. She just didn't want to mess up whatever it was they had growing between them.

Seeing him grin and smirk excitedly was infectious. Yet again, she couldn't help but smile back, even her eyes seemed to smile and light up as she did so when she saw him smile. After hearing how much he had moped around in the bunker for a few months from Sam, seeing him be like this was a joy to see. Frowning and moping didn't seem to suit him in her opinion. She listened to him express his feelings about what it felt like being in the bunker for so long and it felt like such a change to the Dean she first met who wanted nothing more than to hide in his room, eat junk food and drink copious amounts of alcohol.

When he mentioned about feeling like something was still lingering around in the bunker, she rose an eyebrow and stopped smiling. It was curious to say the least. She remembered Sam explaining how extra proofed the bunker was so how could anything be lingering around? The only thing she could possibly think of was maybe the energy that his ex left behind and coupled with his grief, it did leave that tense vibe. Then he smiled again and co to ued talking, making her smile again.

"I can agree with that. I've been out on the road or in motel rooms on my own. Having you is a breath of fresh air" she replied honestly. She tried so hard not to let her intrusive thoughts win out and put her hand on his leg as he drove, placing a hand partially under her chin and in front of her mouth before glancing back out the passenger side window for a moment.

She definitely could get used to being on the road, kicking asses and taking names with Dean Winchester. He made her feel alive once again.
