THEN

From 12.04 "American Nightmare", on the road, Sam, Dean and Catty were driving, while on the phone with Ness, Octavia and Amara, who were in the Bunker with the babies.

"Cas, Levi, and Sow are chumming it up with Crowley," Catty told them.

From 12.03 "The Foundry", in the hotel, Crowley appeared behind Castiel, Levi and Sabrina. Castiel, Levi and Sabrina exchanged an annoyed look.

Catty: (voice over from 12.04 American Nightmare) "They're hunting Lucifer together."

From 12.03 "The Foundry", in the parking lot, Sabrina was trying to teleport her, Levi and Castiel away, when Crowley kept stopping her. Sabrina held her hand toward Crowley in annoyance, using magic to push him into the truck behind him, pinning him.

Catty: (voice over from 12.04 American Nightmare) "That's right, two are Angels, one's a Demon, one's a Hybrid..."

From 12.03 "The Foundry", outside Wendy's house, Castiel, Sabrina, Levi and Crowley walked outside.

Catty: (voice over from 12.04 American Nightmare) "And apparently, they solve crimes."

From 12.02 "Mamma Mia", in Hell's throne room, Vince/Lucifer started to illuminate with bright white light. His fallen Angel wings appeared in shadows over the wall behind him, larger than any other angel's. 

Catty: (voice over from 12.04 American Nightmare) "So, Lucifer is now the Master of Butt Rock. He jumped into Vince Vincente."

From 12.02 "Mamma Mia", at their concert, Vince and Tommy's band had just finished their concert.

Ness: (voice over from 12.04 American Nightmare) "The rock star?"

From 12.04 "American Nightmare", on the road, Sam, Dean and Catty were driving, while on the phone with Ness, Octavia and Amara, who were in the Bunker with the babies.

"The douchebag," Dean told them. "Guy used to roll with purple hair down to his butt and a spiked codpiece."

Sam chuckled. "Uh, it was the 80's."

"What, are you defending him?" Dean asked.

Sam sighed. "No, I'm not. I mean, his third album was kind of... not horrible."

Dean shook his head. "I hate you so much right now."

From 12.03 "The Foundry", in the hotel, Castiel was questioning Tommy.

"I've been around all stripes of Vince, all right?" Tommy asked. "Drunk Vince, depressed Vince, megalomaniacal, 'I'm a Golden God' Vince."

From 12.02 "Mamma Mia", in the hotel room, Vince/Lucifer looked at Tommy, letting his eyes glow red, backhand punching him in the face hard enough to make him fly through the door and break it down.

Tommy: (voice over from 12.03 The Foundry) "The Vince who threw me through that door... it wasn't him."

From 12.03 "The Foundry", in the hotel, Castiel was questioning Tommy. "If you hear from him, don't hesitate to call."

Tommy looked at his card. "Okay, Agent... Beyonce."

Castiel nodded, walking away toward Sabrina and Levi. Sabrina smiled smugly. Levi smiled in amusement.

From 12.03 "The Foundry", in the cabin, Vince/Lucifer looked at a chained up Rowena. "This vessel hopping's getting old. Just as I get used to the limitations of one meatsack, I gotta cut bait and jump to the next flawed lump."

"Then you want to make this vessel permanent?" Rowena asked.

Later, Rowena was putting spell markings on Vince/Lucifer's chest.

Rowena: (voice over from 12.03 The Foundry) "Strong enough to hold you?"

Rowena placed her hand on his chest over the glyph she had drawn, looking up at him, chanting. "Fes ti na."

Vince/Lucifer seemed to realize that the spell was not what he had thought it was. "Red, what did you do?"

"Sped up the decaying process, my Lord," Rowena answered.

Vince/Lucifer yelled in pain. "You can't destroy me."

"Not yet, but I can send you far, far away," Rowena told him. "Try finding a new vessel at the bottom of the bloody ocean. Abi!"

Vince/Lucifer disappeared in a flash of purple light.

NOW

§

A Week Ago 

Night - Adam's House - Basement 

Two boys, Adam and Gordy, were in Adam's basement, attempting to summon Lucifer. 

"Dark Lord," Adam chanted.

Gordy chuckled. "Apollyon."

"Beelzebub," Adam went on. "As your humble servants, we beseech thee. We say your names as summonings. Show thyself! Serpent."

"Devil," Gordy said.

"Lucifer, show thyself," Adam told him. "Rain your splendor upon me. Let me bathe in your unholy wrath." Gordy stifled a laugh. "Drench me, Lucifer." Gordy was trying to hide that he was laughing at Adam. "Cut it out, Gordy." Gordy bluntly laughed at Adam. "Dude, it's not funny."

"Dude, you asked Lucifer to drench you," Gordy told him.

"I didn't write it, okay?" Adam asked in defense. "It's a Satanist Society of America-approved summoning. I found it online."

"Yeah, like you found that 'artifact'," Gordy told him, pointing to a feather. "Face it, Adam. Your 'Satan feather' is faker than my stepmom's Chinatown Fendi."

"It's real," Adam told him.

"It's a rock," Gordy told him.

"Well, it's fossilized," Adam replied. "A feather from Lucifer's wing. The seller excavated it from one of his crypts."

"Lucifer has 'crypts'?" Gordy asked. "Lucifer has 'wings'? You're so freaking dumb."

Vince/Lucifer appeared, his vessel rotted and wet from being in the ocean for too long. "Actually, I've been looking for that."

Gordy was in shock. "No way. No freaking--"

Vince/Lucifer used magic to snap Gordy's neck, looking at Adam. "Hiya."

Adam backed away. "You're... i--it worked. My summoning actually--"

"The only thing that 'summoned' me was this," Vince/Lucifer told him, taking the fossilized feather from Adam. "This vessel was already wearing out, and my trip under the sea did not help. With a little power up..." He put the fossilized feather to his chest, using the feather from his wings to make himself glow and healing himself. Adam used his cape to cover his face because of the sudden glow of light. "Hey, won't last long, but it'll do. So, uh, you and your pal, are you typical of my following on Earth these days? 'Cause... oof."

"No, no, no, no, no, no," Adam told him. "You can't be Lucifer. You're Vince Vincente. My mom loves you. You're... kinda famous."

Vince/Lucifer used magic to snap Adam's neck, watching him fall. "Huh. Kinda famous."

§ Worlds Colliding (Supernatural) §

Now

Day One

Morning - The Bunker - Ariel and Faith's Nursery 

Sam and Octavia were looking at how much bigger Ariel and Faith were already getting, having grown into toddlers by now.

"All right, Ava, you're gonna have to keep explaining about Ariel and Faith's whole age growing thing, because I'm just gonna forget, and I know you hate repeating yourself, so..." Sam trailed off.

Octavia chuckled in amusement. "No, it's okay, Sam. A few months, like two, is maybe four years for them. Ariel and Faith would be growing faster if I hadn't been possessed by the Devil and being tortured by the Darkness while being pregnant with them."

"I'm guessing that their powerful torture is what slowed Ariel and Faith's aging process down?" Sam asked.

"Yeah," Octavia answered. "Lucifer and the Darkness's power, it was dark, and twisted, and going through all that while pregnant... with Nephilims like Ariel and Faith... not good."

Sam sighed. "Wished that I could've stopped that from happening, Ava, but..."

"Sam," Octavia told him. "I did what I did to save you, Dean, Catty. For all of you, obviously, and for Ness, Cas, Sabrina, Amara and Aiden. And yeah, being Human can suck, but at least I can have a Human life with you, them, Ariel and Faith."

"You promised that you would take your Grace back once Ariel and Faith are old enough to need someone to teach them their powers," Sam reminded her.

Octavia nodded. "Yeah. Sabrina, Cas and Levi can help with that. I mean, we didn't ask Levi to help with any of this, but Levi volunteered. Being Human with you, Ariel and Faith has been amazing, Sam."

"But we need to give Ariel and Faith their best chance, which you will need your Grace for," Sam finished. "And I get it, Ava. I'm with you for whatever you do. All the way."

Octavia smiled. They kissed slowly, building up passionately, pulling away, smiling, walking out of the room.

§

Library

Dean, Ness, and Amara were in the library with Aiden. Dean was feeding Aiden. Ness and Amara were playing Scrabble. Catty was laying out food for all of them.

Amara smiled, finishing a word. "Twerking. Booyah."

"Is that even a word?" Dean asked.

"Yeah," Amara answered. "Check the dictionary. The Darkness made me read a lot of old timey and new timey books and stuff."

"Books and stuff," Dean repeated in amusement. He looked at Ness, smirking. "Amara can be a genius like you and still say things like me. Perfect."

Ness smiled, chuckling. "Seriously." 

Catty smiled.

Sam and Octavia walked in.

"Hey," Catty told them. "Ness and I've been trying to dig up info on the British Men of Letters, keeping an eye out for cases, and Ness has been playing games with Dean, Amara and Aiden. Ness might spend most of her time at home, but she is still busy as a bee, especially working at the local bar for a little extra cash while Amara stays home and babysits Aiden."

"Thanks, Catty," Ness told her. "I mean, Milton is no TJz, but hey."

"And I've been saying for years that you would eventually turn into a dangerous housewife, Ness," Sam told her. "Finally came true."

"Shut up, Sam," Ness told him. Dean, Amara and Catty laughed. Sam and Octavia chuckled. "Stop mocking for a moment."

"How you doing, Amara?" Dean asked.

"I'm good," Amara answered. "Bored out of my mind and dealing. I need to do something."

Ness chuckled. "Me, too, Amara. Me, too."

Catty's phone rang. She answered, putting her phone on speaker. "Hey, Cas."

(Song:) Bad Dog Blues - The Rob Donnelly Band 

The song was playing in the diner that Castiel and Sabrina were calling from. Levi and Crowley sat with them.

"Hello, Catty," Castiel told her.

"You, Levi and Sabrina still living out an '80s buddy comedy with Crowley?" Catty asked.

"Unfortunately," Castiel answered. "Sabrina had to convince Levi to stay here to help her resist the urge to smite Crowley because he won't leave us alone and is constantly annoying, me, Sow and Levi."

Catty chuckled in amusement. "That sounds like Sow. That's my girl."

Sabrina smiled. Levi chuckled.

"Any news on Lucifer?" Sam asked.

"Actually, yes," Sabrina answered. "Look at the news."

Ness pulled up the news on her laptop. "One sec." On a Lords of Darkness: Heavy Metal News site, a headline came up saying Ladyheart: Hair Metal Lives? With a picture of Vince Vincente and Tommy underneath. "No way." Ness turned the laptop to face Dean, Amara, Catty, Sam and Octavia to show them. "So, this is from today."

Ness played a video of a female reporter questioning Vince/Lucifer.

Reporter: (on video) "We're here in front of Death Siren records with Vince Vincente."

"Oh, no freaking way," Amara told them.

Vince/Lucifer: (on video) "Yes, it's, uh, it's great having the band back together again. In the studio, feeling pumped. Haven't felt this fired up in ages."

Reporter: (on video) "A lot of people saying that your style of rock could never make a comeback in today's landscape. What do you say to them?"

Vince/Lucifer: (on video) "Go to Hell."

Octavia spoke to Castiel, Sabrina, Levi and Crowley over the phone. "Tell me that's not Lucifer."

"We don't know," Levi told them.

"I--I thought you said Rowena got some licks in," Dean told them. "Shouldn't he have burned through his vessel by now?"

Levi sighed. "Yeah, but we don't know. We don't--"

Crowley cut him off. "Hello, Winchesters. Long time. We team up to save the world, and then bupkis. You don't call, you don't write."

"Yeah, we don't care," Sabrina told him.

Levi smirked a little in amusement. Sabrina smiled.

"Crowley, Lucifer," Ness told him in annoyance.

"Lucifer," Crowley repeated. "Think about it. Of all the extinct rock acts, Ladyheart are the most Paleolithic. A major label sponsored comeback in 2016 for those dinosaurs? It doesn't feel like a wholly natural turn of events, does it?"

"Maybe Lucifer found a way to heal his vessel," Castiel told them.

"Yeah, but still..." Sam trailed off. "I mean, what the hell?"

"He's in LA," Crowley told them. "I'll see you there."

They hung up.

(Song Ends)

Octavia sighed. "Oh, LA."

Ness nodded. "Yeah."

Amara was thinking. "It would be cool to go to LA, but you guys would never let me go to the same city as Lucifer, right? Not after what happened with Aunt Ava, Uncle Cas, and all that."

Dean and Ness gave Amara an amused look. "Right."

Amara sighed, tilting her head, having expected this response. Sam, Catty and Octavia smirked in amusement. Aiden smiled, laughing cutely.

§

Diner 

In the diner that Castiel, Sabrina, Levi and Crowley were in, Crowley put his sunglasses on.

"Where are you going?" Levi asked.

Crowley smirked. "I know a guy."

§

Los Angeles, California

Death Siren Recording Studio - Russell Lemmons Office

Russell was sitting in a chair, holding a glass of wine in his left hand, looking at a trophy in his right hand, meditating.

Crowley appeared. "Hello, Russell."

"Brother Crowley," Russell told him. "One moment, just let me tie this off real quick." He finished his glass, putting the glass and the trophy down, standing. "All right." He clapped his hands. "So, what brings you to the City of..." He chuckled. "Angels?"

"You know this is my city," Crowley told him. "What's with all this Maharisi crap?"

"I moved to the Westside last year," Russell explained. "Started daily mediation, yoga, green juice. Helps to keep the ego and the anger in check. But enough about me. How you been, huh? Health? Family? Hell?"

Crowley scoffed. "Doesn't matter, don't care, and been better."

"Well, good news," Russell told him. "Good news, I got a couple of quality up-and-comers for you. Thirsty young talent. Souls ripe for the taking. You have been pleased with our... arrangement so far?"

"Oh, as punch," Crowley answered. "A soul's a soul? Mm, but there is a certain prestige to owning a Swift or a Drake."

"Ah, you like that?" Russell asked. "It's a gift from Dre."

"This whole Vince Vincente comeback thing... it's a joke, right?" Crowley asked. 

"No, deadly serious, my friend," Russell answered. "We've raided, repackaged, and resold everything else from our past. Why not give hair metal another shot? Yeah, okay, I doubted it, too, but Vince came to me with a killer pitch. The original Ladyheart lineup reunited. Back in the day, those cats sold, like, 10 mil."

"So did Hootie & the Blowfish," Crowley replied.

Russell chuckled. "And I'll bring them back, too. I know Ladyheart might be a punch line, but the band's got off the chart name recognition. And just talking to Vince, he seemed different, you know? Energized. Reborn. Lit."

"Like a whole new man?" Crowley asked.

"Exactly," Russell answered.

Crowley sighed, knowing that this confirmed their suspicions about Lucifer still possessing Vince.

§

On the Road - Impala 

Dean was driving. Sam was in the passenger seat, listening to something through headphones. Catty was in the backseat.

"All right, 450 miles to LA," Dean explained. "Land of gridlock. Botox, overtaxing, underachieving, smell of sweaty desperation. I mean, you can't breathe. The beaches are toxic. You got dudes in skinny jeans wearing sunglasses inside. Oh, image-obsessed narcissists. I do like the yoga pants, though." He chuckled. "When was the last time we were in LA?"

"About 10 years ago, doing a Vengeful Spirit," Catty answered. "Man, that seems like forever ago, doesn't it?" Dean chuckled, nodding in agreement. Catty noticed that Sam wasn't listening to them, hitting his arm, getting him to pull out his earbuds. "Hey, trying to talk to you here."

"What?" Sam asked.

"You--what are you listening to?" Catty asked.

Sam hesitated. "Uh, podcast. Why?"

"All right, I need something to keep me awake, so crank it up," Catty told him.

"I mean, it's a history podcast," Sam told them awkwardly, clearing his throat.

Catty didn't believe him, testing him. "Well, I like history, you know? Gladiators and outlaws, pirates. Hell, we're driving a piece of history right here."

"N--not that kind of history," Sam told them. "This is a, uh... it's a podcast on the history of the Protestant Reformation. A multipart exploration of each of Martin Luther's 95 theses."

Dean made a face. "Oh."

"Yeah, that's what I thought," Sam told them.

Catty rolled her eyes, unplugging Sam's earphones so that  whatever he was listening to could be heard by both her and Dean, too.

(Song:) Bloody Messiah - Ladyheart

Catty sighed, shaking her head. "Oh, Sam."

Sam gave her a look. "Catty."

"Hair rock?" Catty asked skeptically. "Really?"

Sam looked away awkwardly. "It's not hair--"

"Come on," Dean told him.

"It's not hair rock, Dean," Sam told him. "It's hard rock. It's legitimate hard rock."

Catty chuckled in amusement, tilting her head. "Wow."

"Don't judge a book by its cover," Sam told them.

"Yeah, or a dude by his, uh, rainbow wig and leopard prints," Dean told them mockingly.

"Rainbow wig?" Sam repeated. "What? You know what? I'm done apologizing. Lucifer possessed Vince Vincente. This is Vince Vincente's music, so listening to it is research."

"No, no," Dean told him.

"As a matter of fact..." Sam trailed off, turning the music up. "Study up, Dean."

"No, no, no, I don't wanna listen to it," Dean complained.

"You like it, Catty," Sam told her.

Catty shook her head mockingly, amused even though she really didn't like the band, just amused by the fact that Sam was doing this. "No, no, no, no, no. Turn it off."

Sam gave them a look. "It'll grow on ya."

(Song Ends)

§

Death Siren Recording Studio - Sound Both 

Ladyheart was practicing in the sound both.

A manager looked at Vince/Lucifer, who wasn't practicing. "Your tweet about Ladyheart's reunion already has over a million engagements. When you were solo, you were lucky to have 300 likes. The band's teaser track on SoundCloud? 500K streams in 4 hours." Vince/Lucifer smirked. A woman named Roseleen stood next to him, very excited. "Buzzfeed just posted a listicle. '10 Things You Need to Know About Ladyheart'. This is good, Vince. This is really good."

"Great," Vince/Lucifer told them.

"It's happening, Vince," Roseleen told him. "I mean, we are gonna be famous again."

Tommy stepped into the room to talk to Vince/Lucifer. "Vince. So we actually gonna record or what?"

Vince/Lucifer shook his head. "Hmm, not really feeling it."

"Come on, man," Tommy told him. "The band's back together. We've got an actual recording budget. Dude... let's make some music."

"Music?" Vince/Lucifer repeated. He looked at the manager. "What are the fans saying about me right now?"

"They're tweeting about your drinks with Pam Anderson last night, speculating if you two are rekindling," the manager answered. "And they're debating whether Vince Vincente is bae, nay, or daddy."

"What the hell does that even mean?" Tommy asked.

Vince/Lucifer smirked. "It means it's not about the music. It never really was. You know, rock's not the reason. It's just an excuse... to worship, to adore. See, Humans have always been desperate to put someone or something above them. And let's face it, God ain't cutting it these days. It takes a Kim Kardashian, a whatever Justin Bieber is. A me. They're enjoying the ride. So should you."

Tommy looked dismayed about what Vince/Lucifer had said, leaving the room.

§

Bellaqua Hotel Lobby 

Sam, Dean and Catty were waiting in the lobby of the hotel, for Castiel, Sabrina, Levi and Crowley. Catty got a water from the dispenser. Sam raised his eyebrows questioningly. Dean gave Catty a look.

"What?" Catty asked innocently. "It's good."

"It's vegetable water," Dean told her.

Castiel, Sabrina and Levi appeared through Sabrina's teleporting power.

"Catty, Sam, Dean," Levi told them, nodding in greeting.

The siblings stood. Sabrina smiled, hugging Catty. Catty smiled, hugging her back, also hugging Castiel. They kissed for a moment, pulling away, smiling.

"Levi, you consider switching up your duds there?" Sam asked. "Bit stiff for this town."

"He could be an agent or something," Sabrina told them.

"Yeah, maybe a third-tier agent," Dean told them.

"At least I don't look like a lumberjack," Levi replied.

Sabrina laughed. "Ooh." Dean raised his eyebrows at Sabrina. Sabrina smiled innocently. "What? You started it, Uncle Dean."

Catty and Castiel were both amused at Sabrina playfully defending Levi and pointing out that Dean started it.

"Okay, Levi," Catty told him. "Cas, Sabrina, where's Crowley?"

"He said he'd meet us here," Castiel answered. "Frankly, we appreciate the break. It's been weeks, and he's been right there, just talking and talking and talking. It's relentless."

Crowley appeared, walking closer. "Don't listen to him. The two feathers and the Hybrid and I are all but inseparable now."

"Yeah, that explains why I asked Levi to stay with us so that I wouldn't be tempted to smite you into oblivion," Sabrina told him sarcastically.

Catty and Castiel smiled. Sam, Dean and Levi chuckled.

"You find anything?" Sam asked.

"Yes," Crowley answered. "Vince Vincente is riding with the Devil."

"Okay, so what now?" Castiel asked.

Crowley showed them a keycard for Vince/Lucifer's room. "I suggest we go check out his room. Vince is scheduled to be in the studio all day, so we're covered."

"How'd you get the card?" Dean asked.

"This is LA," Crowley told them. "I know a lot of people."

§

Vince/Lucifer's Room

The group used the key card to get into the room to investigate.

"Well, looks like there was some kind of fight," Levi told them.

Dean looked around. "Mm, yeah, some kind."

"Look at this," Sam told them. "Rock star biographies. Like, all of them, from Aerosmith to ZZ Top. It's like he's studying how to become famous."

"Well, so what, Lucifer's a dork?" Sabrina asked. "That's good to know."

"Look at this," Castiel told them. "'The seeds of a ripe dragon fruit drizzled with exactly 1 ounce of Acacia honey, prepared in a ceramic bowl, no plastic'. What is this spell?"

"It's breakfast," Crowley answered. "It's Vince's rider. I've seen worse."

"I don't get it," Dean told them. "Lucifer could be taking over Heaven and Hell right now, and instead, he's trying to act out some rock god fantasy?"

Catty shrugged. "Yeah. Who wouldn't?"

Sabrina found a guitar, striking some strings.

Levi picked something up from the floor. "I found something."

"What is that?" Sabrina asked.

Levi showed them. "It appears to be a Human tooth pulled out by the root."

They were all disgusted.

§

Death Siren Studio - Sound Booth 

Roseleen and Vince/Lucifer were sitting together.

"Can I ask you something?" Roseleen asked. "Why are you spending time with me? You ignored me for years, not that I blamed you?"

"I was a fool not to recognize such sweet devotion," Vince/Lucifer told her. Roseleen was hiding her smile, smiling because of what he had just told her. "Talk to me, Roseleen. Tell me about... me."

Roseleen sighed, in awe. "You're Vince. Vince Vincente. And I knew I was in love with you the moment I saw you. I was 16, just a normal kid growing up in Arcadia,"

"Arcadia," Vince/Lucifer repeated. "Sounds beautiful."

"I was watching 'Headbanger's Ball', and the 'Bloody Messiah' video came on," Roseleen explained. "And I... oh, it was your voice. And your hair, and your eyes. It was everything. You were everything. And even when people made fun of me, younger girls at work shredding on my Ladyheart tattoos and saying you're a joke... I never stopped loving you. And I never will."

"How much do you love me?" Vince/Lucifer asked. "What would you do to show me?"

"Anything," Roseleen answered.

Vince/Lucifer set down his glass on the table. "Anything?" He leaned to get a knife out of his pocket. "Would you bleed?" Roseleen nodded, but looked scared. "Then bleed."

Roseleen took the blade, beginning to carve Vince Vincente's name into her chest, starting to scream. Vince/Lucifer smiled while he watched.

§

Hospital - Hallway

A doctor was updating Sam, Dean, Catty and Castiel, who were all posing as FBI, on what happened with Roseleen. "Mrs. Greenfield has lost a lot of blood, and there'll be no fixing those scars, but she's stable."

"And she cut herself?" Castiel asked.

The doctor nodded. "She carved his name into her chest. 'Vince Vincente'. Didn't skip a letter. And she cut deep."

"Thanks, doctor," Sam told him. 

The doctor nodded, walking away. Sabrina, Levi and Crowley walked toward Sam, Dean, Catty and Castiel. 

Dean sighed. "Well, again, what the hell?"

"I'll go talk to her," Crowley told them.

Castiel and Levi both held out their arms to stop Crowley.

"No, no, no, you won't," Levi told him. 

"Cas, Sow, Levi, stay here," Catty told them. "Keep an eye on him."

Sam, Dean and Catty walked away.

Crowley looked at Castiel, Sabrina and Levi. "Well, together again."

Sabrina rolled her eyes, annoyed and sarcastic. "Yay."

§

Roseleen's Hospital Room 

Sam, Dean and Catty were questioning Roseleen on her injuries.

"We wanna understand what happened, but in order for us to do that, we need you to talk," Catty told her.

"Roseleen, did Vince force you to do this?" Sam asked.

"No, Vince didn't," Roseleen answered. "He wouldn't have to. I wanted to, to show him, to make him happy."

"You ever stop and wonder what kind of sicko gets happy off of watching somebody melonball their own flesh?" Dean asked.

"Don't talk about Vince like that," Roseleen told him. "He had a reason, a good reason. He must have. I'm sure he can explain everything. If I could just see him..." She tried to get up, forgetting that she had wounds in her chest, crying out in pain. "I need to get to the show. Please. Please!"

§

Death Siren Studio - Sound Booth 

Vince/Lucifer was sitting on the couch next to the bloodstain on the carpet from when Roseleen had carved his name into her chest.

The manager sat in the chair across from him. "Okay, we're building an aura of mystery and exclusivity with tonight's show. Undisclosed location, small, select audience. It's as much about who doesn't get a ticket as who does. This could push your social media profile to Kimye levels."

"Who gets the tickets?" Vince/Lucifer asked.

"It's an online lottery of local fans, but it'll tend towards the Ladyheart diehards," the manager answered. "They'll be more engaged--"

Vince/Lucifer leaned forward. "I've had my fill of the diehards. They already love me. Religion, celebrity, Twitter, it's all the same rules. If you're not gaining followers, you're losing followers. I want a different crowd tonight. New fans."

"Look, getting a new audience is great for social media visibility, which is great for overall buzz, but they're fickle," the manager explained. "They don't spend any more money on music. They have no loyalty. Good luck translating their attention to album or ticket sales."

"I don't care," Vince/Lucifer told her. "I want fresh blood."

The manager nodded nervously. "Got it."

§

Hospital - Hallway 

Sam, Dean, Catty, Castiel, Sabrina, Levi and Crowley were talking in the hallway, calling Ness, Octavia and Amara to update them on what was going on, who was in the Bunker's library with Aiden, Ariel and Faith.

"So the show is tonight?" Ness asked.

"That's what she said," Sam answered.

"Can Lucifer even sing or play an instrument?" Amara asked.

"I doubt they offer intro to guitar in the Cage," Dean told them.

"Like it matters," Octavia told them. "What Lucifer made that woman do has nothing to do with music. It's about devotion."

"Come again?" Catty asked.

"Ava, what are you talking about?" Levi asked.

"Levi, remember that Lucifer was in my head for months, but I was just as much in his head," Octavia told him. "It's the same reason why he took over Hell and Heaven when he was possessing me. He wants to have people look at him like he's everything, knowing that once they buy in, he can make them do anything."

"Sounds intoxicating," Crowley told them, smirking.

Ness, Amara, Catty and Sabrina all rolled their eyes, tilting their heads back, much to the amusement of Octavia, Sam, Dean, Castiel and Levi.

"Well, that's super creepy," Sabrina told them.

Levi nodded in agreement.

"Okay, so this concert, all these people..." Sam trailed off. "What is--what is Lucifer planning to do?"

"Nothing good," Levi answered.

"Guys, even with all of you together, you're outgunned," Ness told them. "Are you sure that you don't want our help?"

"No, we're fine, Aunt Ness," Sabrina told her. "You, Aunt Ava and Amara needed to stay back with Aiden, Ariel and Faith. I can fight Lucifer, and I can try to exorcise him from Vince's body. But Lucifer has to have Hybrid Warding, because I can't track him."

"What if Sabrina can't get close enough to do the essence thing?" Amara asked.

"Then we'll have to keep trying, Amara," Castiel answered.

"It doesn't matter, guys," Sam told them. "This is our shot. We just gotta find out where he's playing tonight."

Catty sighed, nodding in agreement. "All right, let's get to work."

§

Death Siren Studio - Russell's Office 

Russell was talking to Crowley. "A mystery to even me. Though, even if I did know, I probably wouldn't tell you."

"You'd threaten our very lucrative partnership for one over-the-hill, bad dye job rock dinosaur?" Crowley asked skeptically.

"I'm smelling money with Vince, bruh," Russell told him. "This is business, Crowley. It's nothing personal."

Crowley used magic to drag Russell to the wall, making his drink splash into the floor, scaring him. "No, believe me, it's personal."

§

Outside 

Castiel and Levi walked toward Tommy, who was with the rest of the band, except Vince/Lucifer. "Tommy."

"Guys, I'll meet you inside," Tommy told them. The others walked inside. "Agents. What are you doing here?"

"Investigating Vince, same as before," Castiel answered. "You hear what happened to Roseleen?"

"Yeah, that was, uh, it was awful," Tommy told them. "But, I mean, some on, man, she cut herself, right? It wasn't like..."

"You know that's not the whole truth," Levi told him. "You know, Vince isn't Vince."

Restaurant 

Sam, Catty and Dean were talking to Vince's manager. Catty was in her clothes from before, with a leather jacket and simple purple shirt and jeans with combat boots, but Sam and Dean had to change their clothes to leather, too.

"We're the siblings that rock together, hmm?" Dean asked. "We're kind of like the American Oasis."

"Ew," the manager told them.

"Uh, no, but with synths," Catty told her.

"Yeah, right," Dean told her. "So, you know, we're--we're hip."

"Exactly," Sam told her.

The manager sighed. "Who plays what?"

"I'm on keys," Catty told her. "Sam's on guitar. Dean's on the drums."

"Guitar," Dean told her. "Drums and guitar. I pretty much do it all."

Dean chuckled.

Sam rolled his eyes slightly. "We saw online that you represent Vince Vincente. We were kind of hoping you could do for us what you've done for him."

The manager sighed. "Sorry, I took this meeting 'cause you looked hot in your pics, but I am not feeling this."

"Okay, you know what?" Catty asked. "We're not actually here for a meeting."

"Vince's show tonight, where is it?" Dean asked.

"Who are you guys?" the manager asked.

"Look, you must've noticed," Sam told her. "Vince is different."

§

Death Siren Studios - Russell's Office 

Crowley was still trying to get Russell to tell him where the concert was.

Sabrina appeared to get Crowley to stop torturing Russell. "Dumbass, he really doesn't know. He won't know until tonight. I'm a mind reader, remember?" She waved her hand toward Crowley, sending him away. She looked at Russell. "Find out where the show is."

Sabrina disappeared.

Russell was gasping in fear, turning the intercom on to call his assistant. "Brigitta, get me another green juice in here. Namaste."

§

Outside 

Castiel and Levi were asking Tommy about the concert.

"Where's the show, Tommy?" Levi asked.

"Man, I don't know what the hell's going on with Vince, all right?" Tommy asked. "All the royalties on our hits dried up years ago. I got two daughters in college. I know what I told you, and I know what I saw, but..."

"And you don't care who pays the price?" Castiel asked.

Tommy sighed. "Sorry."

§

Restaurant 

Sam, Dean and Catty were still talking to the manager.

"Vince gives me the skeeves, but he's a paying client," the manager told them.

"No, he's the Devil," Dean told her.

"Yeah, like, literally," Catty agreed.

The manager chuckled. "I'm in PR. I've worked for sexists, racists, even politicians. My job is making saints out of devils. No way I'm threatening my reputation by working against his interests. So you need to take a step back or I start screaming. And in a crowded place like this? Girl like me, people like you? Guess what happens next? Buh-bye."

The manager walked away.

§

Bellaqua Hotel Lobby

The group met back up in the lobby of the hotel, updating Ness, Octavia and Amara again.

"Crowley, you said you put the fear in Russell?" Amara asked skeptically.

"I thought I had, Amara," Crowley told her. "These yoga types. Just when you think you've harshed their mellow... I would have gotten farther if Sabrina hadn't stopped me."

"You were torturing him for information that he didn't even have," Sabrina replied. "I read his mind, he didn't know."

"Yeah, well, I've been looking everywhere online, and, uh..." Ness trailed off, sighing. "No one's linked the venue yet."

Dean was getting some water that he had earlier scolded Catty for getting.

"Seriously, Dean?" Catty asked.

"What?" Dean asked.

"Dude," Catty told him.

"Shut up, Catty," Dean told her.

"Cas, Levi, anything?" Octavia asked.

"No," Castiel answered.

"So you couldn't flip a single member of Vince's team?" Octavia asked.

"Nope," Catty answered. "Even with the threat of mass murder, these SoCal douchebags won't do the right thing."

"Welcome to Los Angeles," Crowley told them.

"So what happens now?" Castiel asked.

"Sabrina finds one of the bandmates and reads their mind to find out where the show is," Levi answered.

Everyone else nodded in agreement.

§

Night - Club Meteor - Outside 

A limo pulled up outside Club Meteor. The manager, Vince/Lucifer, Russell and Tommy were inside the limo.

The manager scoffed. "I've never seen so many crying emojis in my life. The people who didn't get in, they're rending garments all over Twitter. Gossip blogs, social media, they're on fire speculating about the secret reunion show."

"And the winners?" Vince/Lucifer asked.

"Thrilled," the manager answered.

"Be more thrilled if we had new music to sell," Tommy told them.

"What?" Russell asked.

Tommy inhaled deeply. "Well, Vince was a no-show at the studio. Again."

"The muse, guess she took a powder," Vince/Lucifer told them. "Relax, Russell. Tonight's show? It's gonna kill."

"I took a chance on you, Vince," Russell told him. "An aging, well-past-his-prime buttrocker. You will get in line."

"Or?" Vince/Lucifer asked.

"Or I take it all back, huh?" Russell asked.

"Whoa," Tommy told him.

Russell looked at Vince/Lucifer. "Check your contract. You don't do what I say, I can bury Ladyheart. I own you."

"Do you?" Vince/Lucifer asked.

Russell nodded. "Yeah." Vince/Lucifer chuckled, pointing at the pen that Russell was holding, using his power to make him point the pen at himself. "What's happening here? Hey, man."

"Vince, what are you doing?" Tommy asked. "Vince, stop!" Russell was trying so hard to fight against the power Vince/Lucifer was using to try and make him stab himself. "Vince!"

Vince/Lucifer made Russell stab himself in the throat with the pen, to the horror of the manager and Tommy, making the manager scream, watching as Russell died smugly. "Well... see you all inside." Vince/Lucifer got out of the limo, going to see his fans. The fans were all cheering, whistling. Vince/Lucifer laughed evilly, noticing that there was a burn mark on his arm from the vessel slowly disintegrating. "Who's ready to have fun?"

The manager got out of the limo with Tommy, looking at him. "I quit."

The manager walked away. Vince/Lucifer was still smiling.

§

Inside

(Song:) Next - Chapel of Rock

Fans were let into Club Meteor, while everyone was getting merchandise from the band Ladyheart, and the band was getting ready for the show. Merchandise like shirts, mugs, key rings, etc.

(Song Ends)

§

Bellaqua Hotel Lobby

Sam, Dean, Catty, Castiel, Levi and Crowley were waiting.

Sabrina appeared. "Guys, I found one of the band members. Found out where the show is."

Catty stood. "All right, let's go."

§

Club Meteor - Outside

Sabrina brought everyone to the club outside without being noticed by anyone.

Levi hung up his phone. "Tommy's still not answering."

"Well, we're here," Dean told them. "That's what matters."

Dean pulled out handcuffs.

"Enochian handcuffs?" Crowley asked skeptically. "That's your move?"

"They held me," Castiel told him.

"You're not him," Crowley replied.

"Look, it doesn't matter," Levi told them. "We're just buying Sabrina enough time to exorcise Lucifer and send him back to the Cage."

"We know that Sabrina has a chance of exorcising Lucifer, yes," Crowley told them. "But can she really send him back to the Cage?"

"We have no sure bets here, okay?" Sabrina asked. "Anything that any of you use is gonna be like popping BBs. But at least I have chance at this."

"Oh, great pep talk," Catty told them. "Go, team."

"Guys, we're here to do more than just take a shot at Lucifer," Levi told them. 

"We are?" Crowley asked.

"Yes," Sam answered. "We need to save the people inside, too."

"I'll take Lucifer," Sabrina told them. "He's my responsibility."

"Sow, you might have all the power, but he's not just your responsibility," Castiel told her. "He's all of our responsibility."

"Well, the only way you'll clear that crowd without drawing fire is if he's otherwise engaged," Sabrina told them.

"Engaged in what, Sow?" Catty asked. "Fighting you? You can't do this alone."

"Sabrina won't be alone, Catty," Castiel told her. "Levi and I can help her."

Levi nodded. "Cas' right, Catty. We'll fight Lucifer with Sabrina."

"Levi, you and Cas would last three minutes, tops," Sam told him.

"Well, I'll last a lot longer than three minutes," Sabrina told them. "With Dad and Levi helping me, we might actually get a shot at this, with the three of us."

"Make it four," Crowley told them. Sam, Dean, Catty, Castiel, Sabrina and Levi looked at him in surprise. "What? I help."

"Sam, Catty, let's clear the crowd," Dean told them. "Cas, Sabrina, Levi, Crowley, good luck with taking on Lucifer."

Catty sighed, nodding. "Just be careful."

§

Inside - Backroom 

Ladyheart was gathered in the backroom of the club.

Band Mate 1 laughed. "Have you seen that crowd? Man, I have not seen an audience this hyped since we headlined Monsters of Rock in '91, man."

Band Mate 2 chuckled. "No."

"And the girls?" Band Mate 1 asked. "Perfect age."

"Tommy?" Band Man 2 asked, snapping his fingers to get his attention. "You okay?" Vince/Lucifer walked in. "Our fearless leader."

Vince/Lucifer used his power to make the two bandmates vomit blood. "How you feeling about the show, Tommy?" Tommy was speechless with fear after watching Vince/Lucifer kill Russell and in the process of killing their two band mates. "Yeah, me, too. The nerves." Vince/Lucifer picked up a guitar, playing off-key chords. "Whoops! Guess I should've practiced before tonight." He set the guitar down. "Or, you know, ever."

"Who are you?" Tommy asked.

"Who I was, well, that doesn't matter," Vince/Lucifer asked. "Who I am? Well, I'm Vince Vincente, rock god. And after careful deliberation, I've decided to cut the dead weight. I'm going solo." He tried to kill Tommy as well. Sabrina appeared, grabbing Vince/Lucifer's hand to stop him. "Sabrina Winchester."

Sabrina slammed her hand into Vince/Lucifer's chest, with enough of her power to send him flying across the room into the wall, making him fall. "Hi to you, too."

Vince/Lucifer stood. "How did you find me with the Hybrid Warding I put on myself?"

"Uh, you haven't exactly been subtle, Luci," Sabrina answered with honest sarcasm.

Castiel and Levi were healing the two band mates, helping them and Tommy get out of the backroom into safety, wiping their memories so they wouldn't remember what happened.

Vince/Lucifer smirked. "Levi. Castiel. Did you bring the rest of the Little Rascals?" 

Crowley walked in. "Just me."

Vince/Lucifer pretended to pout. "Spanky."

§

Main Room 

The fans were getting impatient, waiting for the concert. Sam, Dean and Catty were trying to find ways to stop the show.

Sam bumped into someone. "Sorry."

Catty saw the emergency fire switch, gesturing her plan to Sam and Dean. "Hey, you guys--you guys smell smoke?"

The fans ignored them, chanting out. "Vince! Vince!"

§

Backroom 

Castiel, Sabrina, Levi and Crowley were confronting Vince/Lucifer now that the other band members were gone.

"Did not take you for the martyr type, Crowley," Vince/Lucifer told him.

Crowley chuckled. "I'm really not. I just hate you that much."

Sabrina waved her arm toward Vince/Lucifer, using magic to throw him against the wall, making him fall. 

Levi walked closer. "What are you doing, Lucifer? You mean nothing to those kids out there. You think they'd draw blood for you? By choice?"

Vince/Lucifer sat up. "Well, I thought I'd at least ask." He stood. "And if they won't give it up by choice, maybe I'll just take it."

"Why?" Castiel asked.

"Because it's fun," Vince/Lucifer answered. "Because I can. And because being Lucifer? So much Judeo-Christian baggage. But Vince? He's famous. Everybody loves him." He thrust his hand toward Sabrina to use magic to push her into the wall. "And I need love. I had a really jacked childhood."

Vince/Lucifer tried to keep Sabrina pinned to the wall with his power, but she could easily move.

Sabrina pushed away from the wall, rolling her eyes. "Oh, cry me a river."

Sabrina trust her hand toward Vince/Lucifer, using magic to slam him to the floor.

"You think this is fun?" Castiel asked.

"Oh, I wouldn't expect you to understand," Vince/Lucifer told them.

Sabrina punched Vince/Lucifer in the face, kicking him in the stomach. Vince/Lucifer tried to punch her. Sabrina blocked the move, punching him in the face, using magic to throw a guitar against Vince/Lucifer's head, making it shatter over his head, using her power to throw him to the floor.

§

Main Room 

Sam, Dean and Catty were still trying to clear the crowd out.

"No, seriously, I--I--I think I smell smoke, everyone," Dean told them.

"Sure you're not having a stroke?" a guy asked.

"Hey, I'm serious," Dean told them. "We need to get out of here."

"Step off, dad," the guy told him sarcastically. "What's your problem, man? Get off me."

"Hey, listen to me," Sam told them. "We've got to go, okay?" Dean and Sam grabbed the guy to lure the guards over to them so that Catty could pull the fire alarm. The guards pulled Dean and Sam away. "Okay, all right, yeah."

Catty pulled the alarm, making it go off and everyone stop cheering.

§

Back Room

Sabrina pushed Vince/Lucifer back, punching him in the face. Vince/Lucifer tried to punch her in the face. Sabrina blocked the move. Vince/Lucifer tried to punch her. Sabrina blocked the move, spinning to try and kick him. Vince/Lucifer raised a leg to block the move, backhand punching Sabrina in the face. Castiel, Levi and Crowley used their combined power to push Vince/Lucifer back. They heard the fire alarm.

Vince/Lucifer chuckled. "Clever girls."

Vince/Lucifer spun his finger in the air, using magic to turn on the music to bring the crowd back.

§

Main Room 

(Song:) Bloody Messiah - Ladyheart

Once the music played, the fans came back.

"No, no, no, no, no, no," Catty told them.

"Oh, no," Sam told them.

Dean sighed in frustration. "Son of a bitch."

§

Backroom 

Vince/Lucifer pushed Sabrina back into Levi, Castiel and Crowley. "Stick around for the afterparty."

§

Main Room 

Vince/Lucifer stepped out onto the stage. "Hello, LA!"

The crowd cheered. Dean, Catty and Sam watched worriedly.

(Song Ends)

§

Vince/Lucifer spoke to the fans. "What a crowd. Look at all those fresh, new faces. Everyone excited? Yeah, you should be! Tonight's not gonna be a typical show. Tonight, you're gonna see and feel things you never saw or felt before. Things might get a little bit messy."

The fans continued to cheer, while Vince/Lucifer smiled.

Sabrina walked out on the stage, using intense mind control on the fans, focusing immensely to do so. "Ah, screw it. Leave!"

Sam, Dean and Catty were helping Sabrina's mind control by getting people out of the building.

"We gotta go!" Sam told them. "We gotta go! Go, go! Come on, guys!"

Vince/Lucifer tried to stop the crowd by closing the doors.

Dean tried to stop the closing doors so that everybody could get out. "No, no, no, no, no. Go! Go."

Sabrina used her power to throw Vince/Lucifer against the wall, making him fall, and making him stop trying to close the doors and trap the audience, but they slammed shut and trapped Sam, Dean and Catty.

Castiel appeared next to Vince/Lucifer. "Hey, assbutt."

Castiel used a guitar to smash against Vince/Lucifer's head, the same time that Levi and Sabrina used their power to throw Vince/Lucifer across the stage, making him fall and crash into the drum set.

As Vince/Lucifer was getting up, Catty handcuffed him with the Enochian cuffs.

Vince/Lucifer smirked. "Hi, Catty." He threw Catty off the stage to the floor. Sam and Dean ran to her side. "Sam. Dean. Enjoy the show? Surprised that Ness, Amara and Ava aren't here. Actually, no I'm not. Since none of you would let them leave Aiden, Ariel and Faith." When Vince/Lucifer was distracted with the Winchesters, Levi came up from behind him, stabbing him in the back with his Angel Blade to buy more time. Vince/Lucifer burned the Enochian cuffs off of him effortlessly, throwing Levi into Castiel, making them both fall. "Mm, guys, you know I could end everyone but Sabrina, the True Hybrid impervious to death, with a snap of my finger?"

Sabrina noticed that Vince/Lucifer had Hybrid Warding burned into his neck. "That's why I can't smoke into your vessel. You're locking me out so I can't exorcise you from the inside."

"That's right, Sabrina," Vince/Lucifer answered smugly, trying to punch her.

Sabrina caught Vince/Lucifer's arm, twisting it behind his back, pushing him away. Castiel and Levi stood, both holding their Angel Blades ready.

"Why are you doing this?" Catty asked.

Vince/Lucfier chuckled. "Why?"

"You and God made up," Sam told him. "You forgave Him. What would He think?"

"I'm not especially interested in His opinion," Vince/Lucifer told them. "Dear old Dad, He finally apologized for abandoning me. And what's the very next thing He does? He ditches me. And you, too, by the way. And rides off into the sunset with Auntie Darkness. He needed my help, and He'd say anything to get it. His words, your words, they mean nothing. Don't you get it? This is all meaningless. Heaven, Hell, this world. If it ever meant anything, that moment is past. Nothing down here but a bunch of hopeless distraction addicts, so filled with emptiness, so desperate to fill up the void. They don't mind being served another stale rerun of a rerun of a rerun. You know what my plan is? I don't have one. I'm just gonna keep on smashing Daddy's already broken toys and make you watch."

Levi noticed that Vince/Lucifer was disintegrating even more so now, turning black. "Really? Because it looks like you're falling apart."

"Yeah, you got a little something, uh, right there," Dean told him, gesturing over his entire face. "I mean, face it, rock is dead."

"What can I say?" Vince/Lucifer asked. "Fighting the True Hybrid, her boyfriend and family took a lot out of me. But don't worry. Onward and upward."

Sabrina held her hand toward Vince/Lucifer, focusing intensely, closing her eyes to use her power to exorcise Lucifer out of Vince's body, but since she couldn't exorcise him from the inside like she had done with Octavia/Lucifer, it was very hard to do, unable to exorcise him from the inside due to the Hybrid Warding on the vessel. Lucifer's Grace was forced out of Vince's body, but with a blast of power, Lucifer's Grace sent everyone falling to the floor, so that Sabina couldn't send him back to the Cage, escaping the building. Before Vince could die from being Lucifer's vessel for so long, Sabrina appeared next to him, healing him to save him. 

§

Lebanon, Kansas

Bunker - Library 

Sam, Dean, Catty, Castiel, Sabrina and Levi returned to the Bunker to tell Ness, Octavia and Amara about what had happened.

"How you feeling?" Ness asked.

"We're not dead," Catty answered.

"Well, I gotta hand it to Cas, Sabrina and Levi, even Crowley," Dean told them. "They said they were gonna draw Lucifer's fire, and they drew some serious fire."

"Oh, that was a grand success," Levi told them.

"You guys okay?" Amara asked.

"Well, Lucifer had Hybrid Warding on the vessel because he knew that Sabrina could exorcise him from the inside and send him back to the Cage, using the warding to keep her out," Castiel explained. 

"Yeah, I was able to exorcise him from Vince from the outside, very barely, but I couldn't send him back to the Cage yet," Sabrina went on.

"And we did save the band and the crowd, so I'm gonna call that a win," Catty told them. 

"I mean, we even saved Vince, barely, but we still saved the latest vessel of Lucifer," Sam told them. 

"You saved Vince, Sabrina," Levi told her. "And you mind controlled the crowd to get out. Sam, Dean and Catty helped you get them out."

"Yeah, well, you, my dad, and even Crowley helped me take on Lucifer, Levi," Sabrina replied. "And you and my dad helped save those two band members. So, thank you, Levi."

Amara smirked in amusement. "Oh,Sabrina,  just kiss Levi already."

Sabrina and Levi looked at Amara. Amara smiled. Sam, Octavia, Dean, Ness, Catty and Castiel chuckled in amusement.

"Lucifer just takes people who mean something to a lot of people," Octavia told them. "He takes it and twists it all up and snuffs it out. Lucifer was bad enough when he had a plan, a motive. Now he's just having fun."

"We almost won tonight, but it wasn't enough," Ness told them. 

"What was the last thing he said?" Amara asked.

"Onwards and upwards," Castiel answered.

"What does that even mean?" Amara asked.

"It means he's gone big," Castiel answered. "And he'll go bigger."

"And we will stop him," Ness told them. "We will. It's what we do. Even if Amara, Ava and I are here, we can still help you. And we will stop him. Promise."

They sat there in silence, taking in the fact that they had almost won that night, planning for a way to win for real, if possible.
