Warning: OOC-ness

In This Life

Dean is starting to be annoyed at his sister who stubbornly refused to pick up his call and talk to him. He had contacted Sam and they agreed to meet and stay hunting together while figuring their mutual vessel problem. They both started to take up a case caused by a Pagan God, Leshii, in a nearby town.

Ever since Lily left her brothers behind, she has been taking up small cases of haunting and poltergeist. She met Justine during one of the cases and they ended up working together. Lily is pleased to know Justine's study toward the supernatural with Jim going well. Lily is impressed with Justine's skill as a new hunter, his extensive library of the supernatural knowledge and his shiny brand new weapons. Lily is sure that Bobby would be jealous to see Justine's private library as it has rare collections of books about supernatural, Sam would probably loves the books here too and Dean would be ecstatic to see Justine's collection of weapons. She let out a fond smile at the thought.

Lily received a few phone calls from both Dean and Sam but she decided to ignore them as she is still mad at them. Justine asked curiously about her brothers but didn't push any further when he noticed her dampened mood at the mention of it. However Justine is quite pushy about wanting to meet Castiel. He said he has important questions to ask the Angel. Lily mentioned Castiel is off looking for God. She is surprised to know that Justine is aware of the Apocalypse. Apparently Bobby had spoken to Jim who in turn told his student, Justine, about it. Justine has a plan but he's very vague about it as he's hesitant to tell Lily about it, something about safe haven. Lily promised to try to call Castiel to get him to meet Justine and her.

Castiel didn't pick up when she called him by cellphone so she left a voice mail telling him to come to Justine's mansion as soon as he received the message. And Castiel did appeared so suddenly in fact…in Justine's bedroom while Lily and Justine are feeling up on each other on the bed, thankfully with the clothes fully intact since the said angel didn't come alone. Dean and Sam are with him and they quickly yelled about having to burn their eyes or something when they saw the sight before them. It was very embarrassing and awkward.

Castiel innocently said, "You did tell me to come to you as soon as I received the message."

"Why did you bring my brothers with you?" Lily asked grudgingly.

"Hey!" Dean protested but he's being ignored.

"I didn't know how to use the voicemail so I came to Dean so he can tell me how. He and Sam heard the message and demanded to come with me to see you since you refused to receive their calls." Castiel explained.

Lily felt a headache forming already. The angel then asked Lily why she called him and Justine stepped up and told him he wanted to ask some questions. Justine led Castiel and the others to his private library. Sam is amazed with the rare books in the library while Dean only rolled his eyes. When Dean noticed Justine's weapon collection, it's his turn to be amazed. He's much like a child with presents. He kept asking questions to Justine about the brand new weapon. Lily couldn't help but smile at the sight.

Justine approached Castiel and they proceed to talk seriously in private. Dean and Sam then approached their sister to talk. Lily is annoyed when Dean said he wanted them to stick together again when he and Sam earlier that week are so eager to be apart from each other. Sam told Lily about Lucifer visiting his dream and the revelation that he's apparently Lucifer's vessel. Lily is immediately concerned for Sam's wellbeing but he assured he's fine. Dean insisted they stick together because he believes things will turn worse if they are separated from each other.

Lily refused to leave Justine. She said she will help them about their vessels' problem and the Apocalypse but she will remain with Justine. She said she's tired of them pushing her away when thing went south. Dean and Sam looked shocked at that and felt a tad bit of guilty because they had unintentionally hurt their sister's feeling so badly.

After enough talking and arguing, Dean and Sam, mostly Sam, decided to respect Lily's decision. They left after Justine finished talking with Castiel. Justine let Dean take some of his brand new weapon as presents and Dean is quite happy about it despite the sadness he felt having to leave his baby sister behind. Dean then proceeds to threaten Justine to keep his sister safe and happy and that if he ever find out he's hurting her, he will have a lot to answer to. Lily glared at Dean's protective-brother mode. Justine solemnly swears that he will take a good care of Lily as long as they are together. Dean looked pleased at that.

Before they left, Justine said he is willing to help them anyway he can. Every resource, books and weapon alike, in his disposal is for the siblings to be used as well. He basically willing to give them access to his resource. Sam is very thankful at Justine's offer. Castiel zapped the brothers back to the motel they stayed in. Lily stared at the spot where the angel and her brothers had vanished and suddenly feeling so lost.

Justine seemed happy after his discussion with Castiel but he noticed Lily's feeling down. A few days later, Justine noticed that Lily is restless and unhappy even when they are together. They talked about her brothers for a bit. Justine told Lily she should forgive her brothers and go with them to save the world. Lily looked hurt that Justine wanted her to go away. Justine quickly explained that he knew family is important to her and that she will surely regret her decision to stay apart from her brothers in the future. He didn't want her to end up unhappy and filled with regret.

Lily asked what Justine is going to do if she left. Justine smiled confidently and said he had plan and he wanted to put it in motion. Lily becomes a tad bit curious about Justine's plan of safe haven. Justine says he's providing a plan B if Castiel and the brothers failed to stop the Apocalypse. He's working on to built up personal armies to fight against the force of darkness as well as providing safe haven for people. Lily laughed when Justine said 'force of darkness' as it sounded like they were talking about comic. Justine realized that it does sound corny and laughed with her. Lily stayed silent for a while and then she kissed the side of his lips and whispered a thank you. Justine smiled and pulled her into a hug.

They spent the night sleeping in each other's arms. Come morning, Lily bid a goodbye to her almost-lover then left to join her brothers. Lily called her brothers to pick her up at Bobby's house. They met there and exchanged a relief hug with each other.

"Now that we are over the chick-flick moment, can we leave?" Dean asked.

Lily and Sam laughed at that.

Bobby watched the siblings and shook his head. "Idjits…" he muttered fondly.

Prue only chuckled. Prue has been staying with Bobby to help nurse him much to Bobby's dismay as well as helping Bobby maintain cover for other hunters.

The siblings take up hunting together again and this time they are faced with a boy who is apparently an Anti-Christ. Castiel said they needed to get rid of the boy before he becomes Lucifer's ultimate weapon. He vanished to kill Jesse, the Anti-Christ boy, despite the siblings' protest. Castiel is turned into a figurine by Jesse. Its obvious Jesse is powerful and could be a real threat but the siblings believed that Jesse will not turn evil if they help him to make the right decision. Sam managed to convince Jesse and win him over. However Jesse refused to come with them and vanished without a trace after which Castiel is freed from his figurine state.

Dean, Sam and Lily are in a pinch when they take up a case caused by an evil witch. The witch cursed them with a beam of light before escaping. The said beam light caused the siblings to switch bodies with each other. Dean is stuck in Lily's body; Sam is stuck in Dean's while Lily is stuck with Sam's.

Hilarity and awkwardness ensues. Dean has Lily's menstruation period which freaked him out and he has a massive stomach pain because of it which made him even more uncomfortable. Sam has trouble to fend off a pair of kinky twin sisters Dean has seduced the day before this madness ensue which resulted in him got 'kidnap' by them into having 'awesome hot sex again' much to Sam's terror. Lily is having trouble to act and speak manly in Sam's body causing people to think Sam's gay which result in some guy who have problem with her not-so-masculine behavior to pick a fight with her and then being rescued by a man who then proceed to hit on her much to Lily's dismay.

They enlisted Bobby's help to deal with the curse. Bobby researched into the curse as best as he can while the siblings decided to try to track down the witch, hoping they could threaten her enough to put them back to their normal state. However the witch proves to be harder to find this time much to the siblings' dismay.

Things turn worse when demons attacked Lily and kidnapped her. They wanted to bring Sam to the Devil in order to please him. They didn't know about the siblings' current predicament. However the Devil takes one look at her and recognized that she is not Sam. He's not upset, he's actually looked amused.

"Lily…" Lucifer replied. Amusement colored his tone. "It's nice to finally meet you…though you're not yourself…"

"Couldn't say the same for you." Lily said bravely.

Lucifer chuckled at Lily's cold words, doesn't look like he's offended at all. He motioned for his minion to leave them alone. He stared almost curiously at her and then said, "I'm really grateful for your help in releasing me… I'm glad you survived the ordeal, Lily and I'd like to reward you."

Lily glared at him hatefully. "Oh you meant when Lilith bleed me dry all over your cage? No thanks to you and I don't want anything from you."

The Devil stared at Lily and shook his head almost sadly. "Such hatred…"

Despite her brave front, inside she's actually trembling in fear. She feared she might faint from the overpowering presence of the Devil.

"How did you ended up in Sam's body?" The Devil asked.

"It's none of your business!" Lily spat angrily.

Lucifer ignored her outburst and stared at her intently. "Ah, I see, it's a curse…by a witch no less…" He sounded amused. "If you're in Sam's body, then Sam must have ended up in Dean's while Dean has yours, right?"

Lily's body stiffened at that.

"Interesting…" The Devil mused.

"I'm not going to say 'yes' to you." Lily said flatly.

"Is that what you think? I took you to force you to say 'yes'?"

"I wouldn't put it past you. You're evil after all."

"You're wrong, Lily. I'm not evil. I'm just…misunderstood."

Lily sneered. "Oh and I suppose it's just a misunderstanding that your demons decided to capture me and take me to you?"

Lucifer shrugged innocently. "Well it's not my idea. They were acting on their own."

"Fine. If you are not evil, why don't you just let me go?"

"You're free to go, Lily."

"Yeah, right…what?"

"I said you're free to go."

"Are you serious?"

"I am."

"Why? Your demons have worked hard to get Sam's body for you and you are going to let me go? For real?" Lily asked in disbelief. "You're not going to use this advantage to torture me to say 'yes' to you in place of Sam?"

"I do need a 'yes' but from Sam, not from you, even if you are currently in his body."

"So if I say 'yes' to you, it won't work because I'm not Sam even if I'm in his body?"

"It could probably work but why would I do that? I have no need to cheat or use coercion to get consent. Sooner or later Sam will eventually say 'yes' to me."

"He will never say 'yes' to you!" Lily shouted angrily.

Lucifer only smiled solemnly. "I'm sorry, Lily, but he will…"

Lily glared at the Devil unhappily.

Lucifer sighed. "You're free to go, Lily. No one will stop you to leave here."

"Right, and led you and your minions to my brothers' location? No way. Nice try." Lily said with a snort.

The Devil smiled at her as if she's a five-years-old child and said, "I have no need to pursue Sam because eventually he will come to me himself and he will say 'yes' to me."

"Then why did you have been invading Sam's dreams every time he sleeps?"

"I just want him to understand what he and I have to do here…"

"Oh, we get it. You want to get even with your brother. Well, get some therapy! Don't take it out on the planet!"

"You're wrong. Michael betrayed me but still…I don't want this anymore than Sam would want to kill Dean. You know, my brother…he practically raised me. We have take care each other in a way people could never understand. And I still love him. But we are going to have to fight each other and…kill each other in order to maintain what's right according to each of our belief…"

"Well, it doesn't have to be like that!"

"You're right; it doesn't have to be like that. Michael and I will fight each other and I…I will defeat him, I will make him see things my way even if I have to use force and when he did finally see thing my way, everything would be alright again."

Lily knew there is no use to argue with the Devil. She couldn't even believe that she's still talking with him. She should just go since he's already told her that she's free to leave.

"You should leave. Your brothers must have worried sick about you right about now."

Lily glared at him. "Am I supposed to believe that this is not a trick?"

"No trick, I promise." Lucifer said with a small smile. "I give you my words none of my demons will follow you." He snapped his finger causing Lily to flinch in fear and the door suddenly opened up.

Lily stared at him for a while and then back down slowly. As she's about to reach the door, Lucifer suddenly called her out and then threw her a book and she managed to catch it. "What's this?"

"It contained the spell you need to lift up the curse on you and your brothers. It is much easier than trying to hunt a witch that is probably already away half the state…" The Devil explained.

Lily stared at the book suspiciously.

Lucifer shrugged. "If you don't believe me, you can have your angel to check it out."

Lily nodded and then left. The demons made way for her. She felt a little uneasy by the whole thing. She ran as fast as she could and didn't stop until she is out of breath then she took the cellphone in her pocket to call Castiel who then appeared and zapped them to Bobby's house where Dean and Sam had been panicking over her sudden disappearance.

Lily explained what happened to her and what Lucifer said. "He didn't even try to make me say 'yes'. It seemed he really wanted Sam, all of Sam, to be the one who say it to him."

"The Devil has the hot for you, Sammy…" Dean jokingly said which earned him a glare for Sam.

Bobby and Castiel are suspicious that Lucifer let her go just like that but is relieved that she doesn't appear to be harmed or under the Devil's spell or something. To be sure, Castiel stared at her so intently as he checked for any sign that might indicate something Lucifer might have done to her but found none.

Lily then showed Castiel and Bobby the book Lucifer snapped out of nowhere and gave her. They studied the spell mentioned and agreed that is indeed the spell they needed to switch their body back to original.

The siblings are quite relieved that they are back into their own respective bodies.

While Sam, Dean and Bobby investigated mysterious deaths caused by inexplicable aging, Lily got together again with Jo on a ghoul case in a town. There, they met a former military man turned hunter called Jeremy who happened to be pursuing the same case as them. He revealed he knew about the supernatural through Justine. Lily is surprised when Jeremy told her that Justine ordered him to recruit people with the right background, skill and knowledge to form armies of hunters to fight against the supernatural.

Jo is impressed with the weapons Jeremy has but felt suspicious of the new guy forming his own personal army. Later, she asked Lily about Justine and his motive. Lily couldn't tell her much since Justine revealed little of his plan. Jo thought Justine is just a bored rich man who decided he wanted to play hero but Lily assured her he's a good hunter.

Lily got a call from Sam about Bobby's and Dean's situation on their recent case against a warlock called Patrick. Upon hearing about Dean turned into an old man, Jo said she wanted to come and see it for herself. She laughed herself silly when she saw Dean's state. Despite worrying about Dean's situation, both Lily and Sam found it sort of hilarious as well. Dean himself is not pleased with his situation because he found he is no longer able to charm women and he's embarrassed to have Jo see his current predicament. At least, he thought, Jo didn't know about the time he spent in Lily's body. The siblings have agreed to never mention it to other people.

Sam managed to beat Patrick in the poker game and Dean is returned to his former state. After that, Dean and Jo went to a nearby bar to have a drink and caught up with each other. They started talking and flirting with each other. Lily secretly relieved that those two finally started to do something about their mutual attraction. However it was short-lived as Jo returned very upset with Dean and left. Apparently Dean is being a dick and actually flirted with other women while with Jo.

Lily is annoyed at Dean as she realized Dean is still in denial about his feeling for Jo. Lily tried her best to comfort her friend before they parted way. After Jo left, without much word, she knocked Dean's head for hurting Jo's feeling. When Dean complained about it, Lily simply glared at him which promptly shut him up.

That night, Lily couldn't help but think about Justine. She sighed as she laid her head on the pillow. She wondered if she had chosen to stay with him, would their feeling or relationship turn into something more? She shook her head and reminded herself that she shouldn't be selfish thinking of her own happiness while her brothers are still suffering.

While investigating a homicide apparently executed by the Incredible Hulk, the siblings suspect the Trickster is at it again. Lily's heart skipped a beat at the mention of Trickster which reminded her of Gabe, her former lover. Sam thought this might be Gabe's doing. While he said that, he stared at Lily a little apologetically since he knew about Lily's past relationship with Gabe. Dean still doesn't know about that.

Dean wanted to kill the Trickster as revenge for what happened in Mystery Spot. Lily flinched when Dean mentioned about killing Gabe and couldn't help but feared for him. Sam has different idea regarding how to deal with the Trickster. He wanted to enlist the Trickster's help fighting the Apocalypse. Dean doesn't really like Sam's idea. He thought it is wrong working with a monster like the Trickster. Lily has no idea how she felt about meeting and working side by side with her former lover. Sam managed to convince his siblings that it is worth a shot. So they proceed to keep their eyes and ears open for a trickery incident.

The siblings went to the abandoned warehouse following a lead they heard on their police scanner. While there, Sam took his sister away from Dean for a bit and asked if she will be alright. Lily smiled nervously and said to ask her again later. They proceed to enter the building but suddenly found themselves in a corridor of a hospital from Dean's favorite series, "Dr. Sexy. MD". Dean and Sam are in Doctor's uniforms while Lily is in a nurse's uniform.

Dean looked excited when he recognized some of the people from the series. He's busy telling his siblings about the series. Lily and Sam couldn't help but teased him about it. Then the main character of the series, Dr. Sexy himself appeared and Dean is very ecstatic. Lily rolled her eyes when Dean started to say how he admired the said doctor.

Dr. Sexy approached them and talked to them about some stuff when Dean suddenly realized that he's not really Dr. Sexy. The Trickster's disguise is apparently not too perfect as Dr. Sexy because Dean happened to know the detail about the said character. Dean pushed Dr. Sexy against a wall and proceeds to tell him his flaw. Sam chuckled at Dean's reasoning much to Dean's embarrassment. Dean threatened Dr. Sexy then suddenly time froze.

Lily remained silent as she stared at Dr. Sexy who transformed into the Trickster.

"Get us the hell out of here." Dean demanded.

"Or what?" The Trickster asked playfully. "Don't see your wooden stakes here, big guy." He said as pushed Dean's arm away from him with a force.

Dean winced in pain.

Sam glared at the Trickster. "That was you on the police scanner, right? This is a trick."

"Helo-o-o?" Gabe rolled his eyes and made a face. "Trickster?" He stared at the siblings with a mischievous smile. "Come on! I heard you guys were in town. How could I resist?" His smile is a little faltered as he saw Lily.

"Where the hell are we?" Dean asked.

Gabe seemed to be proud of his handiwork as he explained where they are.

"How do we get out?" Dean asked.

Gabe grinned. "That, my friend, is the $64 question."

"Whatever. Look, we need to talk to you. We need your help." Sam said.

"Hmm." The Trickster mused. "Let me guess. You two muttonheads broke the world, and you want me to sweep up your mess?"

"Please." Sam said.

"Will you help us or not?" Lily, who stood behind her brothers, asked in annoyance.

Gabe stared at Lily, not knowing what to respond.

"Hear us out. Just five minutes." Sam said.

Gabe turned his attention at Sam. His mischievous smile is back. "Sure. Tell you what. Survive the next 24 hours, we'll talk."

"Survive what?"Dean asked as he stepped forward.

Gabe chuckled. "The game, of course."

Lily looked displeased. "What game?"

The Trickster stared at her again with unreadable expression and then turned his attention toward Dean and Sam. "You're in it."

Dean sighed. "How do we play?"

"You're playing it." Gabe said innocently.

"What are the rules?" Dean asked. It's obvious he's annoyed with the Trickster's cryptic.

Gabe grinned as he waggled his eyebrows before vanished suddenly.

"Son of a bitch!" Dean cursed in frustration.

"Where's Lily?" Sam asked suddenly as he noticed their sister missing.

The brothers exchanged a look and they are both pissed at the thought the Trickster might have done something to her.

777

Lily was with her brothers confronting the Trickster in that fake hospital and then suddenly she was standing in a middle of field. She looked around in alarm. Suddenly a Golden Retriever, an American bulldog and a Himalayan cat appeared out of nowhere and came to her. She recognized them as the animals which played in her favorite movie "Homeward Bound" when she was a child. She kneeled before them and happily patted them.

The Trickster suddenly appeared and watched Lily's interaction with the animals with a fond smile. "I'm glad you like them… I remembered that you wanted to meet them."

Lily looked up at him. Her smile faltered. She stood up and brushed her jean. She looked a little embarrassed. "You actually remembered that…"

"That this is your favorite movie? Yeah, I do. I do pay attention when you're talking, you know?" Gabe said with a friendly smile. He patted one of the dogs who approached him fondly.

Lily is trying not to look impressed. She bit her lips nervously. "Where are my brothers?"

"Your brothers are safe. You don't have to worry."

"Am I supposed to trust you?"

"I'm hurt, Lily." The Trickster pouted dramatically as he put his hands over his heart as if actually he was offended. "When did I ever give you any reason not to trust me?"

"You tried to kill my brothers." Lily pointed as she crossed her arms in front of her body. She looked annoyed.

"I tried to kill Dean and I wasn't planning to really kill him. I did bring him back, didn't I?" Gabe said innocently.

Lily sighed in annoyance. "Whatever. What game are you trying to play with us?"

"Your brothers are playing it right now."

"What about me? What am I doing here?"

"Well, you're going to play a different game from your brothers." The Trickster said with a grin.

Lily glared at him. "What game?"

"Hide and seek."

"What?"

"You're in TV land right now. You will stumble upon movie and you will have to play your role while trying to find me. If you do find me, I will listen to what you have to say."

"We don't have time for this."

"Make time." The Trickster said simply. "Catch me if you can…" He said dramatically with mischievous grin before snapping his fingers and vanished.

Lily groaned unhappily. The next few hours are spent in one movie after another, though she happened to be inside some of her favorite movies where she will be playing as her favorite character and being submitted to use modified but sexy clothing. She couldn't really enjoy the fact that she is inside her favorite movies because she's worried about her brothers despite the Trickster's reassurance that they were alright. The girl is pissed at her former lover because he used his knowledge of her favorite movies to play her with the stupid costume. The movies remained strictly harmless and playful but she couldn't help but frustrated because she's unable to locate the Trickster until it was too late and the scenery changed into another one.

This time she was in a scene of some movie where she is attending a ball. She found herself wearing a pretty but simple blue dress. She sighed in annoyance as the Trickster continuously playing with her appearances on each movie. She tried to remember what movie she is in right now but she felt unfamiliar with this one so she had to depend on her somewhat detective skill to track down the Trickster. She ended up frustrated and she walked toward the balcony for some fresh air.

"Care to dance with me, pretty lady?" Gabe playfully asked from behind her. He bowed at her rather mockingly.

Lily turned around to face him. She's surprised that he's wearing tuxedo since it's her first time seeing him in formal suit. She couldn't help but smile. "I thought this is a hide and seek catch-me-if-you-can game? So why did you show yourself to me?"

Gabe grinned. "I notice you might need a little break." He said as he stepped forward to stand beside her. "So will you dance with me?" he asked as he offered a hand toward her.

Lily's heart suddenly pounded madly at his sudden presence near her. She tried to calm herself down. She smiled nervously but took his hand and they started dancing. "Didn't know you can dance…"

"I'm full of surprise…" Gabe said playfully.

Lily chuckled. "You sure do…"

"How have you been, Lily?" The Trickster asked suddenly.

"You meant since we broke up? Peachy." Lily asked sarcastically.

"You're upset…"

"A little. But it doesn't matter anymore."

"I see."

Silent.

"You…saved my life." Lily suddenly said. "Sam told me about it. You came and helped us getting rid of Illyria when you don't even have to. I'm grateful for that."

"It's nothing." Gabe said softly.

Lily shook her head and said, "It matter to me. Thank you."

The Trickster chuckled. "You're welcome, Lil."

Lily smiled. She realized then how much she missed him and how much she still loves him. Her heart ached at the realization. Gabe must have noticed her painful expression because they stopped dancing and he's touching her cheek while putting aside a lock of her hair behind her ear. Lily felt dazed as he kissed her softly and gently.

Somehow the two ended up in bed together after that. They are both naked under the blanket and felt sated after their love-making. They snuggled on each other. He made a good joke and they laughed about it…just like old time. They shared a kiss once in a while.

She started babbling about some stuff and he stared at her fondly until she realized he's staring. When he looked at her with that gentle eyes and affectionate smile, Lily always felt weird albeit a good weird. Gabe snuggled closer to her as he once again put aside another lock of her hair behind her ear and kissed her. As they broke apart after the kissing, Lily opened her eyes with a small sigh and said, "I think I never stop loving you."

Apparently that's the wrong thing to say because Gabe's smile faltered and his eyes became sad and guarded. Lily noticed it and she looked hurt. She pulled away from him before he can say anything. "I'm sorry. I shouldn't have said that." She said with a weak sad smile.

Gabe grabbed her hand to prevent her from leaving the bed. "Stay." He said.

Lily stared at him in confusion.

"Stay with me." The Trickster repeated solemnly. "Screw the Apocalypse. We can stay here together forever."

Lily's face darkened at that.

The Trickster gripped her hand a little tight. "The Apocalypse will end bloody but I can keep you safe. You don't have to live in fear and constant danger. You will be safe…"

Lily pulled her hand away from him. "I can't do that." She said firmly. "You know I can't do that. I need to be with my brothers."

Gabe looked frustrated. "Why? It's not like there is anything you can do to stop the Apocalypse."

Lily flinched at his words. "Even so, I can't. I won't. I won't leave my brothers behind. We need to stick together. We need each other."

Gabe sighed sadly. "And that's the Winchesters' most famous weakness…"

Lily didn't say anything at that. "Will you help us?" she asked in small whisper.

The Trickster has a pained expression at that. "Oh, Lily…"

"Why? Why did you do that? Whenever I need you the most, why do you have to retreat?" Lily asked sadly.

The Trickster stared at Lily sadly. "I told you…I can't watch you break yourself…"

"Then stay with me. Help us. Maybe then you can prevent me from breaking…" Lily begged.

"It's useless. Your brothers can't stop the Apocalypse. They will have to play their role as destined."

"You don't know that!"

"I know it. I have seen how it ends."

"How did you…?"

Gabe didn't answer. His face darkened in his seriousness. "They will say yes to them, Lily. You will lose your brothers and there is nothing you can do to stop it or to bring them back to you. You will have to live with it. You have to accept it."

Lily shook her head. "No. They would never say yes to Michael and Lucifer. I know they won't because if they do, the world is doomed."

Gabe laughed dryly. "The world is already doomed, Lily. It would only be a matter of time before all this…burned…"

"I don't believe that. God will stop this. Castiel is trying to search for Him and he will find Him and he will help us." Lily said in almost desperate belief.

The Trickster snorted. "God had left the building long time ago. He doesn't care. He will not help. Your Angel won't be able to find Him unless He wanted to be found. And I know that He doesn't want to be found."

Lily looked like she wanted to cry having her hope crushed by him like that. "Then we find another way. There has to be another way."

"Oh, Lily!" Gabe groaned unhappily. "It's like talking to a brick wall…again…"

Lily grabbed the blanket and wrapped it around her body as she stood up and face him. "Why are you so insisting that we can't stop it? Do you want the world to end or something? Why won't you fight with us?"

Gabe stared at Lily and shook his head. "I'm not suicidal. This fight…it's a lost cause."

Lily felt despair at that. "So you won't help us…"

"I'm sorry."

"Then why am I still here? Why holding my brothers and I like this? Why played game with us at all?"

Gabe got silent for a while. "I just want it to end, Lily." He said in pained expression. "Your brothers must understand that they have to play their role…"

Lily's eyes widened at the implication. "You want them to say yes to Michael and Lucifer…" She looked horrified.

Gabe looked up at her from the bed. He looked apologetic.

Lily felt hot tears on her eyelids. She bit her lips to prevent herself from crying or lashing out at the Trickster. "Take me to my brothers."

Gabe shook his head. "Can't. Not until they agreed."

"You can't keep us here!" Lily yelled.

"Yes, I can." The Trickster said now emotionless. He snapped his fingers and they were both clothed again. He stared at his lover. "I'm sorry, Lily. This has to happen." Before Lily could respond, he snapped his fingers again and vanished much to Lily's frustration.

777

Dean and Sam stared at the Trickster, no, an Angel.

Gabe is trapped inside the holy fire and he doesn't look pleased.

"Where is Lily?" Dean yelled. "Bring her back here!"

Gabe snapped his finger and Lily appeared next to her brothers. She looked confused but happy to see her brothers.

"Are you alright, Lil?" Sam asked.

"Did this bastard do something to you? Dean asked. "Cuz if he did, I'm going to fry him with holy oil extra crispy!"

Gabe rolled his eyes at that.

Lily finally noticed that Gabe is inside the holy fire. "Why is he…?" she asked in confusion as she stared at Sam. "Is he…?"

Sam nodded in affirmative. "His name is Gabriel…"

Lily's face paled in dread. "Gabriel? The Archangel?"

Gabriel flinched hearing his name from Lily's mouth. He stared at Lily silently.

Lily stared at Gabe in disbelief. She had been having relationship with an Archangel? She had been having sex with an Archangel? Oh, dear… Her mind short-circuited at the thought.

"I guess we know now why he's so desperate wanting us to 'play our role'. Cuz he's a fucking Angel and a dick!" Dean yelled.

Gabriel glared at him.

They started talking about how an Archangel became a Trickster but Lily hardly listening to the conversation because she's still in shock finding out that her former lover is actually a different being than what he said he is.

Lily couldn't help but felt betrayed and she was angry at Gabriel for lying to her the whole time but she didn't say anything.

Gabriel told them why he left Heaven, about how he can't stand the fight between his brothers, about how he is tired and want everything to be over.

Sam is still trying to convince him to help them stop the Apocalypse.

Gabriel insisted there is no way to stop it. He told them about how this is not about the war but about brothers who loved and betrayed each other and that their situation is the exact replica of the Winchester brothers. He revealed that it's why he has always been interested in the Winchester. He knew that it would end with them, that one brother will have to kill the other.

The Winchesters' siblings exchanged a look at each other at the grim revelation.

Dean insisted that it won't happen.

Gabe stared at the siblings somewhat sadly. "I'm sorry. But it is." He sighed. "Guys, I wish this were a TV show. Easy answers, endings wrapped up in a bow. But this is real. And it's going to end bloody for all of us." He emphasized the last line as he stared at Lily almost pleadingly.

Lily looked away.

Silent filled the abandoned warehouse.

"So, now what? Stare each other for the rest of eternity?" Gabriel asked.

"Well, you can bring Cas back from wherever you stashed him." Dean said.

"Oh, am I?" Gabriel asked challengingly.

"Yeah. Or we're going to dunk you in some holy oil and deep-fry ourselves an Archangel." Dean said seriously.

Gabriel rolled his eyes again but snapped his fingers.

Castiel appeared behind the siblings. He looked beaten but otherwise is fine. He stared unhappily at the Archangel. "Gabriel…"

"Hey, bro. How is the search for Daddy going?" Gabriel asked mockingly. "Let me guess… Awful." He stared at Lily again as if he's trying to prove his earlier point about God doesn't want to be found.

"Okay, we are out of here…" Dean said. "Come on, Cas."

"Wow, wait! You're not going to leave me here forever, would you?" Gabriel asked.

Dean stared at him. "No, we're not. Cuz we don't screw with people the way you do. And for the record, this is not some prizefight between your brothers or some destiny that can't be stopped! This is about you being too afraid to stand up to your family!" he said. He then break the fire alarm and water sloshed out from the ceiling in the warehouse.

Gabriel looked shattered and it made Lily want to comfort him to make him feel better but she didn't. She stared at Gabriel sadly.

"Lily?" Sam called out.

Lily turned to Sam with pleading eyes. "Go ahead. I will catch up later."

Sam stared at Lily then at Gabriel and then at Lily again. He sighed and nodded.

"What else you want to talk with him about, Lil?" Dean asked in confusion and curiosity.

Sam dragged Dean away out of the warehouse. "Come on, Dean. Give them some time."

"Give them some time? Why?" Dean asked. A realization flashed on his face and he groaned unhappily. "Oh, hell, no…" Dean looked furious but Sam managed to drag him away and closed the door to the warehouse.

Lily winced when she heard Dean yelled at Sam when he realized Sam had known all along about her relationship with the Trickster/Archangel.

Gabriel didn't say anything as he remained standing on the spot. He was drenched in water but he didn't care. He didn't even seem to acknowledge Lily's presence.

"Gabriel…" Lily called out her former lover's real name.

Gabriel flinched again. He stared at Lily grim and tired.

"Were you ever going to tell me the truth that you are actually an Archangel?" Lily asked.

Gabriel sighed. "Why does it matter? I left Heaven behind so that I can be not an Archangel…" He laughed dryly. "But you guys found me. I guess the cat is out of the bag, huh?"

Lily exhaled. "You said you have taken interest in us because you know about what's going to happen to Dean and Sam…so what am I to you? Was I a mere distraction?" she asked brokenly. "Do you even care for me at all? What we had together…was it just a pretense? Was it all a lie?"

Gabriel looked down on the ground. He felt uncomfortable. "I…I never meant for something to happen between us. It just sort of happened." He said. He looked up at Lily. "I really like you, Lily. I tried to make myself stay away from you but I just…can't. Somehow I just can't resist you. I never thought that it would be anything serious…but it does. I do care for you, Lily. It wasn't a game to me."

Lily looked speechless.

"And I do mean every word earlier… I wanted to protect you…to keep you safe…but I can't help your brothers or the world… I'm sorry." Gabriel said.

Lily looked away as she could felt tears threaten to fall from her eyes. She looked at him after she calmed down. "I can't be with you, Gabriel. I can't stay with you knowing the whole world burns and my brothers are in constant danger. I would never be happy. You won't be happy either with the aftermath of the Apocalypse. You know that."

Gabriel didn't say anything.

Lily sighed. "Goodbye, Gabriel…"

Gabriel stiffened but didn't say anything.

Lily turned around to leave.

Gabriel watched her leave but didn't make a move to stop her.

On the way out of the town, in the Impala, Dean is busy yapping about how he is disappointed in both Lily and Sam. Dean is still upset about the secret they kept from him and asked them if there is anymore secret he need to know. Both Lily and Sam said no. Dean still doesn't look pleased. He noticed Lily looked down and he was itching to ask what happened back in the warehouse with Gabriel but Sam made a motion to leave the subject alone for the time being. Lily stared blankly out of the window.

777

An urgent message from Chuck made the siblings rushed to a hotel where supposedly they should meet only to find out the said urgent message is not from Chuck but from Becky. In the hotel, a Supernatural convention is to be held where all supernatural fans will gather. They were forced to deal with the haunting at the hotel. With the help of a pair of imposter Winchester brothers, the siblings managed to save the day again. Becky revealed about the colt's whereabouts based from Chuck's book about the siblings.

777

The siblings are devastated with the death of Ellen and Jo. The colt, the gun Crowley gave them, doesn't work against Lucifer which made their death seemed meaningless. Dean took it harder because he regretted never telling Jo about his feeling for her and the fact Jo died protecting him

777

While Dean and Sam dealing with a Wraith in a mental hospital, Lily helped Prue who take over the Roadhouse. After the explosion of the first Roadhouse, apparently Ellen and Jo had reopened the Roadhouse again. Prue decided someone must run the Roadhouse now Ellen had passed away and since she has nothing better to do ever since the fight she had with Bobby, she decided she would like to run the Roadhouse. It shouldn't be difficult since she used to own a bar too once. She wanted to organize hunters' gathering just like Ellen did.

Prue thought it's time they involved the other hunters to deal with the Apocalypse. Prue realized that some of the hunters dislike and blame the Winchesters' siblings for the Apocalypse but she felt they must put aside their differences and unite against Lucifer's army as best as they can.

Lily met a hunter called Max Donning who actually the man she once met at a random bar and had a one night stand in which she woke up the next morning and ran away from to avoid awkward situation. Actually now that she met Max again she realized the situation is way more awkward than she previously thought because Max here used to be Dean's best friend. Apparently when Dean was a teenager, he hang around with Max a lot and they went hunting together before growing apart and lost contact with each other.

Max didn't know that Lily is Dean's sister until today when she introduced herself as a Winchester. Max half-jokingly said that Dean is going to kill him if he found out that they had sex because apparently friend doesn't sleep with another friend's sister. Lily scoffed at that and said that Dean has no say with whom she was dating or having sex with. Max laughed at that.

Prue gave Max a case file of possible supernatural incident in nearby town. Max asked if Lily want to come along. Lily agreed. They went hunting together. After finished the case, they went back to the Roadhouse to celebrate. Max teased her about the time they first met. Lily is so embarrassed.

Dean and Sam returned from their latest case. Dean is quite happy to meet Max again and they decided to catch up on each other and swap stories after the last time they have been together. Dean didn't tell him some of the crappy angst stuff that happened in his life because he hates chick-flick moment. He also didn't mention about Angels or that he's Michael's vessel. However it seemed Max aware something big is going on from the sudden spike in supernatural activities and he wanted to help out if he can.

777

The siblings ended up in the past after Anna turned Terminator on them and decided to eliminate their parents before the siblings can be born. With the help of Castiel, they managed to travel to the past to warn their young parents.

Young Mary is not too happy to see Dean again and just wanted them to leave her alone. Lily and Sam are stunned to see their young parents, especially Sam since he never met their mother. Young John remarked about how Lily has Mary's features and Dean quickly used that similarity to introduce themselves as Mary's distant relatives.

Anna finally made her move to attack John and Mary. The siblings did their best to fend her off and managed to banish her using angel-banishing sigils. John is freaked out to learn about things in the dark. They drove in Impala toward Mary's parents' old cabin. It was a very awkward family road trip.

In the cabin, they started to prepared for Anna's next attack while Anna herself enlisted Uriel's help to kill the Winchesters.

Dean is forced to reveal the truth about them to Mary. Mary is heartbroken when she realized that her children have ended up living a hunter's life. While Dean and Sam trying to convince her to leave John, Lily is having a very weird talk with John. John is upset; he couldn't believe that anyone would want to raise their children to live a dangerous life. Lily tried to explain as best as she could that their father has no choice but to raise them in a hunter life.

Lily realized that something is wrong, that every angel traps they made suddenly seemed to…malfunction and told John to warn the others. Suddenly Anna and Uriel appeared before the entire family. Dean started to attack Uriel while Sam attacked Anna. They both don't stand a chance.

Lily remained standing in front of John and Mary protectively as Anna regarded them coldly. "Anna, please don't do this." Lily begged her.

"I'm sorry." Anna said as she stared at Lily solemnly.

Lily gasped as she suddenly couldn't breathe. She fell on the floor gasping for breath.

John noticed the knife on the floor and tried to pick it up to protect his wife and attack Anna. Anna noticed him and used telekinesis to throw her across the window. Anna turned toward Mary but Sam stepped in to protect his mother. Anna stabbed Sam with a piece of wooden stick before Sam could pick up the knife.

Lily screamed in terror as she saw Sam lying on the floor, dying. She tried to stand but Anna simply waved her hand sending her flying across the room. Lily crashed against a wall and fainted. Once again, Anna regarded Mary and said that she was sorry. Mary looked terrified. Dean couldn't do anything as he was being manhandled by Uriel.

John suddenly appeared before Anna but he was different. He's Michael. Anna looked surprised to see Michael. Michael in John's body literally burned Anna alive on the spot with a chilly smile. Mary stared at Michael in wary. Michael simply made her unconscious then snapped his fingers to banish Uriel.

Dean demanded Michael heal Sam but Michael agreed if he will listen to him first. Michael is trying to make Dean understand their so-called duty. He told Dean that free will is only an illusion and that everything is set in stone. He's confidence that Dean will eventually say yes to him.

After enough talking, Michael healed Sam and sends him back to the future. "He's home. Safe and sound. Your turn." Michael said calmly to Dean. "I'll see you soon, Dean."

"But Lil…" Dean never got to finish his words as Michael touched his forehead and he felt himself pulled back to the future.

Lily woke up and noticed her brothers are gone. John is standing over her. He kneeled before her with a kind smile. "We need to talk." He said.

#

Dean and Sam are pressing Lily to tell them if Michael say something to her when she finally returned but Lily refused to say anything, said it was nothing important. Dean doesn't like it and said they shouldn't keep secret from each other. Lily still insisted that what Michael said does not matter because they will stop the Apocalypse.

Castiel appeared before them suddenly but shortly after loses his consciousness. Dean chuckled and made a joke about their "Team Free Will".

777

Dean finally found out that Lily has been seeing Max a few times now and keep in touch with him. Dean is not pleased and threatens to kill Max. Lily and Sam managed to calm him down. Dean decided to back off after Lily's outburst.

"Look! I know it's a freaking Apocalypse and that I should have focused more on this but that doesn't mean that we couldn't have a little life outside hunting. I mean it's the end of the world! Why can't we just have a little fun once in a while with our miserable life? We don't even know if we could survive this thing or not." Lily said. "And Dean, I like Max. I don't know if this will be anything serious but I would like to find out. Besides that friend rule of not dating your friend's family member thing is stupid."

Dean got silent at that. Yeah, they deserved a little break once in a while in their miserable life. If Max could really make his sister happy, why should he stand in the way of their happiness? Of course as her big brother, he's entitled to do that I-will-kill-you-if-you-hurt-my-sister speech to his old friend. "What is it with you chick and trying to find connection?" he said in annoyance.

A few days before Valentine day, Lily has arranged a date with Max who decided to come to the town she was in to have a little time together that night. But before that she has to go with her brothers to investigate a bizarre case of couple eating each other to death.

Valentine day is actually Dean's favorite day as he likes to go to a bar and hook up with lonely women but this year Dean actually refused to go and Sam is quite concerned with him but Dean dismissed his concern. Lily didn't notice because she was too excited about meeting Max today.

The siblings went to the morgue to examine the victims' bodies where Sam realized there is an Enochian marking on the victims' heart. Dean called Castiel for information and the Angel told them they have a possible evil Cupid on their hand. Dean told Lily to cancel the date with Max as he worried that they would start eating each other. Lily is annoyed but called Max anyway to cancel.

The siblings then proceed to have Castiel summon the said Cupid. The siblings are horrified when they finally meet Cupid, a fat naked guy who loves hugging them as oppose to handshake. It appeared that the Cupid himself does not realize what happened to the couple he marked as he usually go his merry way to 'bring happiness to other potential couple'.

Lily suddenly curious and asked if her match with Gabriel was Cupid's doing but he revealed that the match was their own doing.

Cupid revealed he's only following orders from Heaven to match couples with certain bloodline and certain destinies. Dean is upset when the Cupid mentioned about their parents who apparently Heaven's top priority arrangement and punched him. Cupid is upset and left.

Later, it's revealed that they were dealing with Famines. Everyone else including Lily and Sam became slave of their latest addiction, except Dean, who apparently remained immune to Famine. Lily tried to go after Max because she suddenly became obsessed with him and she wanted to kill him so that they can be in afterlife together forever. Castiel managed to incapacitate Lily before she does anything stupid. He knocked her unconscious for the time being. Sam is also under lockdown because his addiction to demon blood returned full force.

Dean and Castiel confronted Famine together but Castiel fall victim to Famine's magic. Sam came in time to rescue them using the demon blood he drank when Famine's demon attacked him and threaten Lily's life.

After killing Famine, Dean and Castiel put Sam on lockdown on the basement at Bobby's home. Lily continuously flinched as Sam yelling like crazy in the room. Dean looked sad and tired while Castiel looked helpless. Dean is off to the junkyard and started praying for someone, anyone, to help his brother.

Gabriel suddenly appeared as if answering Dean's prayer. He claimed he can help Sam. Dean doesn't trust him at first but eventually agreed to let him help as he no longer able to stand Sam's painful screaming. Gabriel gave Sam his blood to burn out the demon blood in him. The process is even more painful for Sam but once it's over, Sam felt cleansed.

Lily is surprised to see Gabriel and doesn't know what to make of it especially when Gabriel offered his help. He didn't want to fight his brothers but he agreed to help them figure out another way since God obviously won't help. Castiel still believe that God will help them much to Gabriel's dismay. However, Castiel's unwavering belief in God is contagious to which Gabriel agreed to help Castiel's search for God.

777

Lily point blankly said to Gabriel that she was seeing someone else and Gabriel joining their team won't change anything between them. Gabriel didn't say anything at that but he doesn't look surprise, if anything he looked way too nonchalant about it. Lily couldn't help but being upset when during the occasion she saw him, Gabriel is flirting with other women. She denied being jealous though when Dean teases her about it as he noticed that she's in bad mood during and after which they Saw Gabriel with other women. Lily glared at Dean for even suggesting it and asked if he would rather see her be with Gabriel rather than Max. That shut Dean up completely.

Gabriel spent his time to help Castiel's search for God but once in a while he likes to check in on the siblings, mainly Lily. He still flirted shamelessly at her but Lily just ignored him. The Archangel won't stop plastering her of when he gets to meet Max.

Gabriel finally met Max and he didn't like him. Lily is forced to introduce them and she told Max that Gabriel is a hunter just like them. When Gabriel is with her, he pointed that Lily doesn't trust Max because she didn't tell him the whole truth about her brothers and herself. Lily is annoyed and told him that it was none of his business.

Gabriel is wary around Max. He had a bad feeling about him and he told Sam about it. Sam told him that he was just jealous. Gabriel found that notion ridiculous, however Sam pointed that Gabriel looked cranky the other day when he saw Max danced with Lily at the bar. Gabriel once again denied being jealous.

Eventually it's proved that Gabriel is right about Max. Apparently Max belongs to a group of hunters who hates the Winchester for starting the Apocalypse in the first place. Max hated them because his family member got killed during one of the Apocalypse incident. Through a demon he interrogate, he found out about the Apoclaypse and the people who responsible for it. Ever since he has been plotting to get revenge on the Winchester, it's why he got close to Lily. However his first meeting with Lily and the one night stand they shared at the time was truly purely coincidental.

Two guys broke into the siblings' motel room, caught them off by guard. Max restrained Lily out of the way while his two other fellow hunters shot them to death. Lily screamed in anger at them but she couldn't do anything. The other two wanted to kill Lily but Max didn't let them, saying she's not the guilty one. Max left Lily alone with her brothers' dead bodies.

Lily called out to Gabriel and Castiel to help her brothers. Castiel's grace is weak so he can't go to Heaven especially since it would alarmed the other angels because he's already branded traitor and would be killed on the spot if seen. Gabriel's still an Archangel and not a fallen one like Castiel so he can actually sneaked into Heaven to steal back Dean's and Sam's soul.

In Heaven, Dean and Sam are hunted by Zachariah but are saved by Gabriel at the last minute. They went to the Garden and meet Joshua, the only Angel who still in contact with God. Joshua revealed what Gabriel had known all along that God doesn't want to be found and that He won't help stopping the Apocalypse. He also warned Gabriel that he can't defeat Lucifer and if he tries, he will die. Dean and Sam looked angry at Joshua's revelation but they can't do anything about it. Gabriel hauled their souls back to their bodies on Earth before Michael caught wind of him in Heaven and that he's helping the Winchesters.

Gabriel and the brothers break the news about God to Lily and Castiel. Lily's just too happy to see her brothers back alive and well and she hugged them to let the news really sink in. Castiel, however, looked devastated. For the first time in his long life, he cursed God and vanished before the others can say anything.

Gabriel actually is worried about his little brother and off to go after him. He found the angel at a bar later on, drunken as hell and still grumpy about the whole thing. Gabriel tried to comfort him as best as he can in his own way. He actually tried to get him laid with a woman but Castiel refused as he's more interested in getting drunk so he can forgot the pain.

Meanwhile, Lily noticed that Dean is in despair after Joshua's revelation despite putting on a brave front. Sam insisted that they will find another way to stop the Apocalypse. Lily really hoped that Sam is right.

777

A few days later, Lily is off into a bar, drinking alone with a solemn expression on her face as she reflect about things that happened these past few day. She remembered bitterly about Max's betrayal and drank some more.

Gabriel approached her and sat with her, deciding that she needs the company. He is concerned with her. Lily told him to go ahead say 'I told you so' about Max since he's been suspecting Max the whole time and everyone has been brushing his concern off. Surprisingly, he didn't say it as he just stared at her almost like he felt sorry for her. Lily is annoyed at his expression but didn't make comment on it as she choose to drank some more.

Lily, in her drunken state, started to ramble about how stupid she is and how she's done with love for good. She said she should have known that the Winchesters are cursed and doomed. Everything about them will never be normal. She rambled about her brothers' and her not-so-good track record in relationship. She talked about Dean's being right that she's an idiot for trying to seek connection with someone special and that now she know better. She actually forced Gabriel to have a toast with her about being done with love for good.

Gabriel sighed and helped her out of the bar and back to the motel where her brothers are. If Dean is being himself, he would have glare at the Archangel/Trickster for even being seen with his sister but right now he's just distracted. Sam helped Lily to bed and scolded her. Sam turned to Gabriel and said thanks for bringing Lily home and making sure she's safe. Gabriel snapped his fingers and vanished after take one last look at Lily.

The siblings are on a case. A mythological creature started to appear all over the world with the alarming rise of supernatural activity. The siblings are involved in a case with one of the said creatures. Gabriel appeared and decided to help out since Castiel is still off somewhere and won't come when called.

Dean is still distracted even Gabriel noticed that and surprisingly felt concern for him. He mentioned it to Lily when they ended up in a bar together with Sam. Dean preferred to be alone instead of being in the bar with them to hit on girls or drinking beer is a cause of alarm in itself.

After they finished the case, Gabriel vanished leaving the siblings and re-appeared later on. He suddenly asked Lily to go with him somewhere. Lily reluctantly went with him and surprised when he brought her into an abandoned factory where she saw Max all tied up in a chair and looking bruised. Max looked frightened as he saw Gabriel. He saw what he could do and what he had done to his friends, the two who shot the Winchester brothers.

Lily whirled around to face the Archangel in fury. "What did you do to him?"

"What he deserved." Gabriel said nonchalantly.

"Just let him go." Lily sighed and said.

"I will but first you go talk to him."

"Why the hell would I do that?"

"Don't you want to find out about why he did what he did?"

"I already know. He hates us."

"He hates your brothers, not you."

"Is that supposed to make me feel better?"

"Just…talk to him, alright? After that I will let him go."

"Wait, what did you do to the other two?"

Gabriel smirked. "I gave them their just dessert."

Lily glared at him. "You didn't!"

"Oh I so did."

"You promised when you joined us that you would stop your deadly prank!"

"It's not a prank. Think of it more like...judgment. I'm an Angel of Judgment, after all. Before I became a Trickster, I did do the occasional smiting of the bad people. Only this time, the judgment came with style." Gabriel said with an innocent grin. "And I didn't say I promise. I said I will cut down on it."

Lily rolled her eyes. "You…you're impossible!"

Gabriel shrugged innocently.

Lily reluctantly goes and talks to Max. Max revealed that at first he got close at her in order to get back at her brothers but eventually he really has feeling for her but he can't just simply give up on his grudge against her brothers. Max said he's sorry but Lily didn't believe him that he's truly sorry and that is what she said to him. Lily unties him and told him to leave. She also warned her to never show himself in front of her and her brothers or else she will make sure he will be truly sorry. Max left hurriedly.

Lily sighed and turned around as she called Gabriel out. The Archangel/Trickster immediately appeared before her. She asked him the real reason why he took her here. Gabriel reluctantly said that he was worried with her with that talk about being done with love.

"Why would you care about that?" Lily asked in annoyance.

"Because you are turning into Phoebe!" Gabriel blurted out.

"Who's Phoebe?"

"She was betrayed and hurt by Cole to the point she decided to give up on love, much like you are right now."

Lily blinked in shock. "Wait, are you talking about Phoebe from the series Charmed?" She laughed so hard she nearly fell into the floor. "You actually watched Charmed?"

Gabriel doesn't look amused. "It was a good series." He said defensively. "And there are hot chicks in it."

Lily is still laughing. "Oh this is… Wait until Dean heard this..."

"Oh come on! What's so weird about me watching Charmed?" Gabriel asked with a cute pout.

That only made Lily laughed some more. After she calmed down, she looked confused now. "Wait, what made you think my situation is like Phoebe?"

"Aside from you telling me yourself that you're done with love? Come on, Lily, that guy back there is checking you out and giving you signal but you don't even care or notice."

"What guy?"

"My point exactly…"

Lily snorted. "So what? If I'm like Phoebe, what are you? Are you like my personal Cupid or something?"

Gabriel looked disgusted at the idea of him being Cupid. "God, no! I'm not one of those." He shuddered.

Lily scrunched her face as she remembered about the Cupid they meet before. "Oh, right…"

"I take it you have meet one of the Cupid then?"

"Actually, yeah…and eww…"

"You got the dreaded handshake?"

"We all got the dreaded handshake…"

The two shared laughter.

777

The siblings arrived at a small town where a female prophet called Leah warned and prepared the town people with the knowledge about Apocalypse and how to fight demons. Soon the siblings realized something is off about the prophet. Lily and Sam called Castiel to ask for information. Actually they also called Gabriel but he didn't answer. Apparently he's off somewhere following an important lead that he can't ignore. In the end, it was Castiel who appeared later that night, still drunken as hell. Lily and Sam are concerned about their Angel friend.

Castiel revealed that Leah is not a prophet. She's the Whore of Babylon, a creature from Hell that emerges during the Apocalypse and tries to condemn as many people as possible to eternal punishment in Hell by tricking them into committing Deadly Sins. Apparently only true servant of Heaven would be able to kill the Whore and none of them are a servant of Heaven, not even the two Angels on their side. They figured out Leah's father, a priest, can do it. However in the end it was Dean who managed to kill the Whore.

Sam is concerned about how Dean is able to kill Leah and asked him point blank if he actually considering to say yes to Michael. Dean denied it. However later on he takes off with the Impala leaving his siblings behind.

Lily and Sam are worried that Dean will really say yes to Michael and frantically trying to find a way to stop him but first they have to find him. Castiel can't really help because he had put that sigil on Dean's rib which effectively hidden Dean from them.

Gabriel appeared before them with very good news about how to defeat Lucifer but find out that Dean is missing. Lily begged him to help them find Dean. Sam has an idea as to where Dean might have gone. They went to Lisa Braeden's house. It appeared that Dean has indeed visited her for a while. He told her things that made her fear for him and tried to get him to stay but he had refused and left immediately.

To track Dean down, they separated for a while in their search for Dean. Gabriel is with Lily (obviously) while Sam is with Castiel. Sam and Castiel managed to find Dean but they were too late.

Dean has said yes to Michael.
