Summary: Kat Sadler was a regular girl who was into Supernatural. When she gets into a car crash, an angel shows up giving her the option to either help save the Winchesters or die in her universe. Knowing the Winchesters, things aren't going to be easy.

Authors Note: I started this thing FOREVER ago on a plot bunny because it's hard to find a good Sam fic. It's also taken a while for this thing to get ahold of it's footing. This starts in season 6 which is a light read and pretty CW, at chapter 15 it goes into season 7 which is where the writing improves and has longer chapters; season 8 will start at 41, technically. Hope you enjoy this, and make sure to leave a review please.

"That cold black cloud is comin' down, feels like I'm knockin' on heaven's door"
-Bob Dylan

Time travel and alternate universes were the things of science fiction to the average hairless ape. To angels, time travel was nothing. It was the inability to cross universes that was impossible to them. If the thought had ever crossed their minds. To the modern human, the supernatural was fantasy novel stuff. Nothing but a money maker. They could not have been more wrong.


May 15th, 2015

A harsh rain was beating down as Kat ran to her car. She had just gotten out of the nearby cafè and was on her way to a job interview. The advice column she'd had at the small town paper was hardly anything of substance. Another week and it would be the season 10 finale of Supernatural, which was perhaps the only thing she enjoyed at the moment. As she started up her car her phone rang.

"Hello?" She said.

"Katrina you're stopping by for Candices birthday right?" her mother asked.

"Yes, and it isn't for another week."

"Don't use that tone with me!"

"Yes ma'am."

Her mom hung up leaving the phone ringing as it disconnected. She put the phone back into the cupholder and started the car. The relationship she and her mother had was strained. At twenty four she was still trying to pursue becoming a journalist to the disapproval of her mother who wanted her to settle down and be less... driven. An apple pie life that Kat found relatively dull. It was slick on the roads but it wasn't too horrible. There was a green light and she kept driving, then the semi on her right was dangerously close. Her eyes were blinded at the headlights of the truck.

Then she was lying down in a forest. The greens were bright and the sun was out. There was the lack of sound, no birds,no wind. She picked herself up confused. How had she ended up in a forest of all places? She had been in a car crash...

"Hello Miss Sadler," a voice called out.

She turned around to see a man with chestnut brown hair with a rather large nose. There was something mischievous and youthful about him... but also powerful. He reminded her of someone but she couldn't place her finger on whom exactly.

"Am I dead?" She asked. "Or am I dreaming?"

"How about both?" He shrugged. He pulled a candy bar out of his coat pocket and promptly began to eat it.

"Who are you?"

"I am an archangel of The Lord."

Kat gave out a laugh. Perhaps she was just dreaming.

"This is crazy, I've been watching too much Supernatural," she forced out.

"And that is exactly why I'm here," he said.

"Wait, what?"

He gave a slight swagger walking towards her.

"Here's the thing Sadler, most angels wouldn't think about crossing universes. The likely hood of even surviving the crossing is unlikely. Thankfully, you have me. Then again you're nearly dead," he said.

"The car crash," Kat mumbled.

"Bingo! Now, you can either hop realities, help my brother and the Winchesters here and there, possibly delay some stuff, or you can... die."

"But the Winchesters! They're fictional!"

"In your world, yes."

"Oh great."

"So what do you say?"

"Wait... the arch angel thing... the candy... Gabriel!"

Kat nearly jumped in glee upon recognizing the man. Her face fell upon the realization that she was also nearly dead.

"Of all people, why me?" She asked.

"Answers later. Are you in or not?" Gabriel responded.

Kat looked around the forest like landscape. She could accept death. But the Winchesters... It seemed crazy. An ordinary mundane girl being given a chance to ride across the US with a pair of brothers and fight monsters. The thought was a far fetched dream. It was also a nightmare, having to see the death and destruction that followed. But it seemed like a better option to being dead. She wasn't afraid of death per say, but rather what followed after it. The unknown.

"I'm in," she said firmly.

"Fan-tast-ic. You might be able to pass off being a Seer for a while, but do not, under any condition, tell anyone that I sent you. I'm supposed to be dead," Gabriel said."So how do you feel about the beginning of two thousand and eleven?"

She looked at the ground in thought.

"That's when Castiel planned on trying to open Purgatory," she said.

"Bingo!" Gabriel beamed.

"And what am I supposed to do?"

Then a hole appeared at the base of a large tree. A harsh wind could be heard. Looking into it was a void of darkness with stray leaves being sucked into it.

"Play your role," Gabriel said.

The two walked to the hole and Kat jumped in. It was pitch black and it felt like someone was crushing her chest. This continued for what felt like years until a dim light filled her vision.
