BUNKER

Castiel is standing next to Gabriel, who is sitting on the bed, and has his hand on his head. Sam, Corinna and Katherine watches on.

"I must reiterate-it's not possible for an angel to heal an archangel. I'm just trying to jolt his mind into thinking straight. Even then, Sam...Gabriel...it's
it's possible that he's lost." Castiel Says

APOCALYPSE WORLD

Ketch is working on a remedy for Dean's wound. Dean is lying on the ground, in obvious pain.

"Taro root, trace of arsenic...basidiomycota...and..." Ketch Says

"Why don't you just skip the birdseed, give me the flask?" Dean Says

"Your shortness of breath and delirium are symptoms of a poison the Men of Letters use to disable monsters in the field." Ketch Says

"Of course it is." Dean Says

"My guess is that the bounty hunter used a similar toxin to coat his bullets to hobble his prey...at first." Ketch Says

"What do you mean, "at first"?" Dean Says

"Well, if-if the antidote isn't administered, then the victim dies a particularly gruesome death." Ketch Says

"You guys are such dicks." Dean Says

"Yes. Well... guilty." He gets ready to administer the antidote. "Now then...this will smart. There we are. Good lad. Good lad. Good lad." Dean holds his breath and groans. "Here we go, just a little more. Right? There we are." Ketch Says

THE BUNKER

Sam sits on a chair at the end of Gabriel's bed, while Gabriel stares absently ahead. Sam gets up to leave, but then turns around and looks back at Gabriel.

"Gabriel, you have to dig yourself out of this hole. Look, I know you think it's safer inside. No more torture. No more pain. No more expectations. I've been there. You were nothing like your family. You sure as hell weren't like your dad. Me either. And just like you, I got out. Or I-I thought I got out. But then... then my family needed me. And this is my life. No matter how many times I tried to fight it, this is what I was put here to do. This is where I make the world a better place. And sure, yeah, hookers in Monte Carlo sounds great, but your family needs you. Jack, your nephew, needs you. The world needs you. We need you, Gabriel, I need you. So, please, help us." Sam Says

Gabriel remains silent, and Sam sighs then turns once again to leave the room.

"Porn stars." Sam turns back to him, in surprise. "They were porn stars, Sam." Gabriel Says, as his eyes glow blue.

HELL

KING OF HELL'S LAIR

Asmodeus is sitting in his throne, playing with a couple of stress balls, and he feels the presence of Gabriel.

"There you are." Asmodeus Says

________________________________

APOCALYPSE WORLD

It's dark now and Ketch and Dean are still walking through the forest, Dean is struggling to keep walking.

"Okay. Okay, okay, okay, okay." Dean Says, then stumbles and leans against a rock.

"This is absurd. You must rest." Ketch Says

"Okay, look... I-I'll give you that...anti-poison merit badge award, okay? I do appreciate it, but... we're running out of time. So... How about you rest? I'm gonna keep going." He starts to walk again, but promptly collapses. "In five minutes." Dean Says

"Good plan, perhaps we can use this moment to revisit the Charlie issue." Ketch Says

"Not gonna happen." Dean Says

"To your point, we are running out of time. We don't know where your mother, Elena and Jack are. We don't even know if we'll find this Charlie. And if we do, a rescue may be impossible and stupid. I propose we return home, regroup, reinforce ourselves, and we may have a shot at saving everyone." Ketch Says

"All right, look, I'm gonna...repeat myself. Charlie's not gonna give the angels what they want." Dean Says

"Your Charlie wouldn't." Ketch Says

"They're gonna kill her, 100%, and I'm not..." Dean Says

"What?, what's the story you're not telling me?" Ketch Asks

"Charlie was like family, she was a sister to me. She did more for me and Sam than I can even say. And she was...she was butchered. And we couldn't get there in time, and I..." Dean Says

"You feel you failed her." Ketch Says

"I know I did." Dean Says

There is a flashback to Dean hugging a crying Charlie, and then Charlie dead in the bathtub.

"That, I understand." Ketch Says

"Uh, hello? What about your story you're not telling me?" Dean Says

"Oh, I've had many failures...friends and colleagues who have died on my watch. Only difference is, I didn't...try to save them. "Duty" and all that... rubbish." Ketch Says

"Well, you do suck." Dean Says

"What the hell? Perhaps rescuing this Charlie will wash some of the stain off my hands." Ketch Says

Ketch reaches out his hand to Dean and helps him to his feet, Dean smiles.

"Impossible and stupid, huh? You say that like it's a bad thing. Come on." Dean Says

P.O.W CAMP

Apocalypse world Charlie is kneeling on the ground, hands tied behind her, her head drooping, and the Commander stands over her.

"One more time, the location and number of bases the Resistance holds." He Says

"One more time—bite me." Charlie Says

The commander reaches over and grabs her hair "You're trying my patience."

"Sorry. Sorry. I'll try harder. Bite me!" Charlie Says

The Commander hits her and Charlie falls to the ground, unconscious.

"This is pointless. She dies." He Says

BUNKER

In the kitchen Corinna is on the phone, as Katherine enters the kitchen.

"Okay El, I'll be home soon okay tell Bry I love him, okay good night." Corinna Says, then hangs up.

"Hey mama bear." Katherine Says, taking out a beer from the refrigerator.

"I was just saying good night to the kids." Corinna Says

"Mhm." She takes a swig of her beer. "Want one?" Katherine Asks

"Nah that's okay." Corinna Says

"So...any progress in the Sam department?" Katherine Asks, as Corinna sighs.

"This again." Corinna Says

"What?, look I'm just pointing out the obvious." Katherine Says

"Katherine I don't know what you're trying to do.." Corinna Says

"I'm not trying to do anything." Katherine Says

"Your trying to play match maker with Sam and I." Corinna Says

"I'm sorry I can't help it." Katherine Says

"Why do you care so much?" Corinna Asks

"I don't know I guess..maybe I'm interested in this little plot, look I've been locked up and beaten for months and..this interest me, you know other than saving Bambi, The Nephilim and Mary Winchester." Katherine Says

"So you're bored." Corinna Says

"No..look Corinna how long have you known Sam?" Katherine Asks

"About twenty something...no 27 years." Corinna Says

"Right that's like half your life time, and your telling me that nothing not even once you've felt different towards Sam..not even a little?" Katherine Asks

"Maybe..I mean there was this one time that we kissed." Corinna Says

"See." Katherine Says

"But that was like when we were kids, that's ancient history.." Corinna Says

"So what, look you and Sam are not Dean and Elena. Don't wait decades like they did to finally get together, just take a chance..or would rather go out and date these nothing guys." Katherine Says

"Look let's just say I would these feelings, but I would want to tell him on my own terms..when I'm ready." Corinna Says, as Katherine smirks.

"Okay Blondie." Katherine Says, Sam walks into the kitchen.

"Hey, you guys wanna come see this." Sam Says

Inside the room where Gabriel is, he is inhaling his grace that Sam and Castiel tried to give him earlier. Sam, Castiel, Corinna and Katherine watch on.

"Is it helping?" Castiel Asks

"I...I don't know." Gabriel Says, as Sam's phone rings.

"Hello?" Sam Says, as his phone is on speaker.

"Samuel." Gabriel looks terrified at the sound of his voice. "I hope you're having a pleasant day. It's come to my attention you boys have something belongs to me, and I'd like it back." Asmodeus Says

"I don't know what you're talking about." Sam Says

"Oh, I believe you do. And I'm-a give you one chance to return him to me. No harm, no foul." Asmodeus Says

"I'm hanging up." Sam Says

Asmodeus jumps to his feet in anger. "Do not hang up on me. Gabriel is of no use to you in his current condition. Should you choose to resist me, I will have no choice but to take him by force. I will reduce you and that sad little bunker of yours to ashes. You got 10 minutes to decide. Now you can hang up."

HEAVEN

"Nothing in this universe is worth my time or talent. Nothing. Humans, angels... all flawed beyond redemption." Lucifer Says

"Lucifer..." Sister Jo Says

"It's all because of Pop's little...propaganda machine, spewing poison about me for centuries. Done." Lucifer Says

"So, you're just giving up?" Sister Says

"No. No, I'm gonna refocus. I've come to realize the key to finding my bliss is fatherhood." Lucifer Says

"You." Sister Jo Says

"Yeah. It's obvious, right? I just...I devote myself to finding Jack. We're gonna combine our powers. I'll remake the world in my image, with pathetic little people who worship me. Me. Me. Love that good plan. Awesome plan." Lucifer Says

"Finding your bliss?" Sister Jo Says

"Yeah?" Lucifer Says

"So, humans don't like you. Oh, wow. I'm sorry. Instead of bellyaching about it, why don't you make Heaven right? Make good on your promises. Make angels. Give the existing ones their wings back." Sister Jo Says

"Yeah, I-I can't really do that." Lucifer Says

"What?" Sister Jo Says

"I lied, so, uh, just keep that to yourself, though, okay?" Lucifer Says

"So, you know--It's not the humans. It's not the angels. It's not your father's propaganda that's killing you. It's your complete failure. You say you want to find your son, but you don't. Not really. So, you sit there because you're afraid. You're afraid of him, afraid of looking into in his eyes and seeing nothing but contempt. You can't replace your father. You can't create anything. You have nothing. You might as well go back to the Cage." Lucifer Says

Lucifer reaches out from his seat and grabs Sister Jo in a throat hold. His eyes blaze red in anger, as he squeezes harder, staring at Sister Jo, who is struggling for breath. Then he lets go and Sister Jo backs away towards the door.

"And now you don't have me." Sister Jo Says, then she leaves the room and Lucifer is alone.

APOCALYPSE WORLD

Dean and Ketch approach the P.O.W camp.

"Silo. No, he wasn't kidding." Dean Says

"Gratifying. Now what?" Ketch Says

Dean reaches into his bag to get the weapons ready. Meanwhile, inside the P.O.W camp, the angels are getting ready to execute Charlie. The prisoners are lined up against the fence. The Commander comes out of the building to address the prisoners.

"The Resistance will be broken. It is being broken." He Says

As the Commander talks, two other angels bring Charlie out and tie her to a post.

"One by one, your leaders are being rooted out and destroyed. Soon, there'll be none of you left." He Says

"No! No! No!" Charlie Says

"For high crimes, the prisoner Charlie Bradbury, like all traitors before her, will be executed." He Says

Charlie struggles against her bindings, as the executor comes outside. He is holding a blade for the purpose of decapitation. Meanwhile, Dean and Ketch are frantically getting their weapons organised.

"All hail Michael." He Says

The executioner raises the blade just as Dean throws a grenade. It explodes. The prisoners flee, while the angels look for the culprits. Dean and Ketch begin firing angel-killing bullets, and the angels begin to drop. The Commander makes a run for it, and then teleports away, Dean unties Charlie.

"We gotta get you outta here." Dean Says

"Who the Hell are you?" Charlie Asks

"No time! We gotta go now! Cmon!" Dean Says

THE BUNKER

Gabriel is holding his head, rocking back and forth. Castiel and Katherine looks on in concern, Sam and Corinna returns to the room.

"All right, Corinna and I did what we could to help the bunker's warding, but who knows if it's enough. How's he?" Sam Says

"I don't know." Castiel Says

"Look we'll worry about Gabriel later, let's just hope this bunker is enough to protect us." Katherine Says

Suddenly, the lights in the bunker go out, and the emergency generator and alarm kicks into action.

"And you spoke to soon." Corinna Says

The bunker is lit by red lights, Sam, Corinna and Castiel, angel blades in hand, walk down the corridors, they see all the warding on the walls is illuminated.

They enter the map room and demons attack them. Sam stabs one of the demons, killing him, but another one tackles him.

Corinna spots a demon charging at her, but she dodges his attacks. The demon punches her in the face several times, until she knees him in the stomach then stabs the Angel blade in his chest.

Meanwhile, Castiel fights another demon, eventually getting the upper hand. He goes to assist Sam and kills the last demon.

"Sam, Corinna are you okay?" Castiel Asks

"Yeah." Corinna Says

"Thanks." Sam Says

"Is that all of them?" Corinna Says

Then Sam, Corinna and Castiel are thrown across the room as Asmodeus walks into the room.

"Your warding wasn't designed for the likes of me, Samuel. I've come to claim what's mine." Asmodeus Says

Two other demons come out, one dragging Gabriel with him and the other dragging Katherine, He is shaking with terror.

"Let go of me!" Katherine Says

"Ah Katerina, so nice of you to join us." Asmodeus Says

"Oh it's never nice to see you Asmodeus." Katherine Says

Asmodeus chuckles then back hands Katherine across the face, she groans in pain and spits up some blood.

"That is for killing my Mala." He grabs Katherine face, and punches her in the face. "Whoo! we that felt good." Oh, I missed you, boy. I'm-a have to punish you rather severely, I'm afraid." Asmodeus Says

One of the demons throws Katherine across the room towards Corinna. The demons then drag's Gabriel up the stairs to the top of the balcony.

"And as for you four." Asmodeus Says

Asmodeus flicks his hands and Sam, Corinna, Castiel and Katherine are immediately writhing in pain.

On the balcony, Gabriel's eyes glow blue and suddenly he is no longer cowering. He throws the two demons down the stairs. Asmodeus looks up, in surprise.

"Gabriel! What are you doin', son? You know too well what I can do to you. I broke you!" Asmodeus

Gabriel's eyes glow white and his wounds heal, he is young again.

"You're too weak!" Asmodeus Says

The light glows around Gabriel and we see his wings in silhouette on the bunker wall. Asmodeus is angry and he throws a ball of angel grace in the direction of Gabriel. He swats it aside and stands tall.

"Not anymore. Oh, by the way, I always hated that dumbass suit." Gabriel Says

Gabriel gestures towards Asmodeus and suddenly he is on fire, screaming as he disintegrates. Sam, Corinna, Castiel and Katherine are released from his hold, as Asmodeus dies.

APOCALYPSE WORLD

Dean, Ketch and Charlie are heading back to the rift.

"So, to recap, there's another world, a "better" world, with no Michael, and it has another me?" Charlie Says

"Well, had." Dean Says

"And you were friends with her. Me? Her?" Charlie Says

"Yes. Very." Dean Says

"How very?" Charlie Asks

"Well, she was into chicks." Dean Says

"Oh. I like her." Charlie Says

"Look, I know this is a lot of information, everything I'm telling you, okay, but...we're running out of time here. I need to know where the Nephilim is, Jack. And-and my girlfriend Elena, and mom's with him, right?" Dean Says

"Your mom?, and Elena?" Charlie Says

"Yes, they're from our world, too." Dean Says

"Uh...Last I heard, they were fighting somewhere in what remains of Dayton, Ohio, but I don't...wait..your mom?" Charlie Says

"Yeah." Dean Says

"Why would I believe any of this?" Charlie Says

"Because of that." Dean Says, as he points to the rift.

"Wow." Charlie Says

THE BUNKER

Sam, Castiel, Katherine, Corinna and Gabriel are in the map room. There are bodies of demons lying around them.

"Whoa. Too much information. Okay, slow down. I'm not...processing." Gabriel Says

"And there's more. Michael wants to come to this Earth and destroy it, and we may need your help to fight him." Castiel Says

"What?" Gabriel Says

"Yeah. Welcome to the team." Sam Says

"Uh...yeah. Not so much. I mean, thank you for the rescue and for the redemption arc. But, uh, I'm not really a team guy, so...I'm gonna bounce, okay? Um, but, you know, it's been, um...what's the opposite of fun? That." Gabriel Says

"What are you like scared of your brother or something?" Katherine Says

"Looks like it." Gabriel Says

"No, Gabriel, don't-you-you can't just walk away." Sam Says

"Dude, If Michael comes here, he will end this world." Corinna Says

"And the last time the world was ending, I put my money on you guys, and I think you can pull it off again." Gabriel Says

"No. You cannot turn your back on your father's creation." Castiel Says

"Castiel...my father turned his back on his creation. Guess it just runs in the family." Gabriel Says

"No, Gabriel, please." Sam Says

Gabriel disappears, as Sam, Corinna and Castiel are both bitterly disappointed.

"Angels." Katherine Says, sighing.

APOCALYPSE WORLD

"Okay. The thing's gonna be closed any minute. We gotta get a go." Dean Says

"Dean, you need to go through. Bring back Sam, Corinna, the demon doppelgänger, your angel and Gabriel and the bloody Navy SEALs, whatever help you can get. But I should stay." Ketch Says

"Wait. What?" Dean Says

"If we're going up against Michael, we need to be ready. We need to know what he's up to, where your mother, Elena and Jack are." Ketch Says

"I'm staying, too." Charlie Says

"Are you kidding? You got Michael and a billion angels on your ass." Dean Says

"Dude, this is my home. My friends are here and they're in trouble. If you really do have a way to take down Michael, get back here and do it. Until then, this is my fight." Charlie Says

"I don't wanna lose you again." Dean Says

"That's not your call." Charlie Says

"Dean, it's closing." Ketch Says

Dean looks at the rift and sees he is right. He looks back at Charlie, then hands her the gun with the angel-killing bullets. Then the Commander and a few more angels arrive.

"Go!" Ketch Says

Dean goes through the rift, while Charlie and Ketch begin firing angel-killing bullets.

________________________________

THE BUNKER

Dean comes back through the rift and lands in the bunker, he falls to the ground.

"Dean! Dean! Hey! Hey." Sam Says

"Hey, You're hurt." Corinna Says

"No, no. I'm fine. I'm fine." Dean Says, as the rift starts to disappear.

"Guys, the rift." Katherine Says

"Hey, the--the --the rift, it's..." The rift closes. "Where's Mom? Where's Jack?" Sam Says

"Where's Elena?" Castiel Asks

"Long story so Mom, Elena and the kid, they're not with Michael anymore. Ketch and Charlie are staying back to try to find them." Dean Says

"Charlie?" Corinna Says

"Yeah there's a Charlie over there, she kicks ass." Dean Says

"Uh, Charlie...Bradbury?" Sam Says

"Yeah." He notices the mess in the bunker. "What's this? What-what...what'd I miss?" Dean Says

"There was a demon incursion, led by Asmodeus." Castiel Says

"Sorry, Asmodeus got in here?" Dean Says

"Yeah, and Gabriel killed him." Sam Says

"Gabriel? That's great. So, he's back. Where is he?" Dean Says

"He just left." Katherine Says

"What do you mean, he left?" Dean Says

"Um..we asked Gabriel to help us, and then... then he said "no"". Castiel Says

"He doesn't get to say "no." We still have his grace, though, right? Sam?" Dean Says

"Uh, we--we used his grace to--to heal him. So, it-- it's gone. It's all gone." Sam Says

"So, if it's gone, then that means that we can't open that door again. If we can't open the door, then I should've never come back!" Dean Says

Dean throws his hand across the table, scattering things onto the floor.

"Son of a bitch! Every time!" Dean Says

He puts his hands on his head and turns away from them, Sam look's on in shock.

"Every time we get close, it always falls apart. Every freakin' time." Dean Says

"Dean... we will find Gabriel. We will." Castiel Says

"We better." Dean Says
