Chapter 11

Your skin, yeah your skin and bones

Turn into something beautiful

You know, you know I love you so

You know I love you so

Yellow-Coldplay

When Dean was inside the circle of salt with Claudette, the two saw a strong light and then Castiel appeared with Jack, Ingrid and Nathaniel and Castiel approached Dean.

"Is it done?"

"The Archangels Raphael and Gabriel were bought back to life with some other angels like Hannah, Balthazar, Anna, Elijah, Esther, Ezekiel, Rebecca and others and are in Heaven, putting everything in order, Jack's grace was removed, he can now live a normal life here."

"Good..."

"We'll stay here and give assistance if you need." Ingrid told Claudette and Dean and they were surprised, but smiled, nodding and then Castiel and Dean lay side by side hand in hand in the circle and raised their blades toward their hearts.

Michael wasn't a sympathetic Archangel, contrasting with Sam's friendly personality, but he was helping Rowena to be safe from Lucifer and she was grateful for it.

Lucifer had used his mental powers in her after she had atacked him, driving the witch crazy, reliving her last moments alive when he'd tortured her violently until Michael grabbed her to run from Lucifer.

The two were in a city full of skyscrapers and were running from Lucifer who had already been 'killed' twice by Michael and killed him once, making Rowena use several spells at once to buy Michael time to resurrect.

"Your spells here barely can scratch me."

"So try this one!" And Rowena lifted her hands, hitting him with a spell that made his face melt for a moment, as if in he was in the holy fire, while Michael recovered with full force and they both ran into the alley to get ready.

"Come here!" And Lucifer appeared across the street, seeing them in the alley and then pulled Michael forward, who fell to the ground at Lucifer's feet.

Michael got up, making Lucifer fly toward a glass-covered building that broke with the impact, making thousands of pieces to fall over Lucifer and the ground in a shower of shrapnel, but the Archangel laughed, getting up.

"I'm glad you're here with me brother."

"I wouldn't have it any other way, you are the brother I hate and loved most at the same time." Michael admitted, standing face to face with his brother and facing him seriously, determined but also sad and for the first time, since the meeting with the Father, the other Archangel showed a look of sadness that lasted only a few seconds:

"My feelings are mutual brother." Lucifer then smirked, lifting the shrapnel and tossing them toward Michael, who stopped them in the air.

It was then that they heard footsteps and saw Dean and Castiel approaching.

"It's over Lucifer." Dean said earnestly and then threw his blade at Rowena, who pulled out her necklace and crushed the pendant with the knife.

Everything around them began to tremble as Rowena's body glowed in blue and countless souls passed through her and as Lucifer began to be sucked in as well, Michael stared at him for a moment, raising his sword and saying with regret:

"Our fight is over for now, but we'll meet again at the Last Judgment, and hopefully there, you will find redemption."

And when the sword lowered troward him, Lucifer's last words were:

"We'll see brother, we'll see. Take care of my son and... Prepare to fight in the Last Judgment."

And all around them was gone, and Rowena, Michael, Sam, Dean and Castiel reappeared in the witch's house and then, Rowena stopped shining, ressurecting in her charred body that healed then and her body began to fall back, but Sam ran and took her in his arms, seeing that she had passed out.

"Rowena?" He murmured worriedly, running his hand over the witch's pale face and Miguel approached, taking Adam's appearance again:

"She's fine, she used a lot of magic today and that's why her body is resting." And he touched her forehead with two fingers and then, her eyes opened, seeing that she was in Sam's arms and she smiled, seeing his expression of relief and stroked his face.

"We survived?"

"We survived and won this one, you were incredible there..."

And he pressed his forehead to hers, looking at her eyes for a moment, feeling her alive in his arms and then, she pressed her lips to his in a short but passionate kiss before he lowered her to the ground, reluctant, but knowing they would have plenty of time together later.

The witch rolled her eyes, seeing Dean's face at the kiss and then, Rowena approached Claudette, who looked surprised and excited to see the powerful witch in front of her.

"Claudette, I have to admit, you turned out to be a witch with a lot of courage and talent and so it would be interesting to have you as my right-hand man in my Mega Coven."

"Really? But I've always been like nobody's third cousin who doesn't even get invited to dinner and-" Rowena interrupted her, waving her hand.

"Consider yourself a cousin of the mighty Rowena Macleod."

And Claudette agreed, shaking her head, excited as Sam and Dean hugged each other.

"Dude, we did it!" Dean said, hugging his brother tightly, feeling the fear of losing him go, seeing that it had worked and Michael had kept his word.

"I know Dean..." Sam said excitedly. "Thank you for being by my side."

"Always Sammy, whatever happens, we'll always be brothers."

And Sam nodded, patting Dean's back and then, a strong light appeared, revealing the Archangels Raphael and Gabriel right beside Jack, Ingrid and Nathaniel. Sam frowned, his body tense as he held Rowena's hand, but Dean put a hand on his shoulder.

"They're not here to complicate things."

Michael approached his two brothers and they nodded in approval and Castiel, who approached Jack and put a hand over his shoulder said:

"Jack is now a normal boy, his grace was removed after he helped to raise some of our fallen brothers to avoid Heaven's ruin."

"And for all the help and collaboration, we have a surprise." Gabirel smiled. "With the realities back to normal, Mary Winchester, as well as everyone who had gone to other realities, are back. She's waiting for you in the bunker, but she's not alone."

"Who...?" Dean asked confused and Gabriel's smile grew larger.

"The surprise is that not only did we bring Kelly Kline back and some hunters like Bobby, Rufus, Ash, Ellen and Jo, but also Adam and someone very special to the Winchester family." There was a silence, Sam and Dean were shocked and looked at each other.

"Dad?" Sam smiled excitedly as Dean ran a hand through his hair before laughing, touched that they'd be seeing all of them, but tespecially their father and the two brothers hugged each other again.

"I can't believe..."

"And that's not all." Gabriel said. "God and his sister are still out, but they have left a message, they continue to trust you and that you never forget that He writes straight with crooked lines, and that He is with everyone."

"This is not the end of the fight." Raphael finally spoke and the two brothers nodded, knowing that they would fight until the end, and Dean murmured British Men of Letters, who were still planing to dominate the American hunters.

"There will always be supernatural beings, monsters and demons in favor of Lucifer to fight and who may find a way to bring him out of the 'nothing,' as it was done to me and my brothers." He then paused and opened the first smile for the brothers. "Thank you for what you have done for us and now we will take care of reestablishing Heaven, but there are angels that will stil be here working."

And he looked at Castiel, the Seraphim, who nodded and went with Jack to Dean's side, who took his hand and the two exchanged a smile.

"Thank you for the opportunity to let me complete this mission given to me." Michael said, putting his hands over Dean and Sam's shoulders, who nodded and Sam said:

"And thank you for trusting us and fighting at our side."

"Until the next time."

And Michael, Gabriel, Raphael, Ingrid and Nathaniel disappeared, and Dean turned to Sam:

"Come on, let's take Jack to see his mother and find our parents and the others, rest for a few days. We still have lots of demons on the loose to kick their asses."

"Let's go." Sam nodded, hitting his brother's shoulder with his own, knowing deep down that he felt good about continuing to hunt and save lives and then took Rowena's hand, walking to the car as Castiel and Dean let Jack go ahead and they stopped behind and dor an instant Dean stared at him, looking doubtful:

"So... Will you stay on Earth?" If he lost the angel again, he didn't know if he would be able to bear the pain.

"I'll Dean, you heard the Archangels, many angels will continue on missions here. And I'll stay, but for you, because of you Dean." Castiel said earnestly and his eyes shone with affection for the human.

"My guardian angel?" Dean asked, feeling relieved and then smirking.

"Seraphim Dean, I'm a Seraphim now."

Dean rolled his eyes, but his heart warmed and then he pulled Castiel to him, wrapping the angel in a hug and felt Castiel rest his face at the junction of his neck and shoulder, his breathing tickling Dean, who stroked his back.

The hunter then raised his hands to hold Castiel's face and met his blue eyes, thinking how much he loved him:

"I love you Castiel."

"I know Dean, I love you too." The angel said, opening a small smile, and then the two exchanged a quick kiss, before finding the others outside.

Near the car, Sam was standing in front of Rowena, and he smiled:

"Mega Coven, huh?"

"With the Coven extinct along with its creators, the remaining witches and those who are about to become witch need to be guided, and here I am." Rowena said, smiling and tilting her head to the side.

Sam noddee, putting his hands in his pockets, feeling stupid for not knowing how to ask what he wanted, but Rowena then stared at Sam, her eyes shining with passion and affection:

"I still want you Samuel and I'll always want, more than I need you." She said honestly, repeating the words she had said in the cabin, reinforcing her feelings for him.

Sam then looked at her, feeling great joy in his heart and took her face with both hands, brushing away the hair from her face and said, with a passionate smile:

"You have me, Rowena Macleod." He brushed his lips over hers and whispered in a way that made her shiver: "And the hunter caught the witch..."

"Or the witch bewitched the hunter..." She replied, blinking sensuously.

Rowena smiled passionately, her hands on his belt and then she kissed him, closing her eyes and feeling Sam take control of the kiss, his tongue making her art her lips for him, while their bodies felt the attraction, the love and the adrenaline by the contact with the other.

And what they felt for the other had not only brought them together, but guided them to the battle they had just won and saved lives and recovered others.
