THE BUNKER

In the kitchen Marley is sitting at the table, busy reading a book to Wren who's on her lap. Suddenly there's a video phone call on the computer, she looks over at the purple flame.

"Wonder who this could be Wren." Marley Says, then answers the phone call, it's Eileen.

"Hi Sam, oh.." Eileen Says

"Nope, it's me." Marley Says

"I'm Sorry, you're Marley right?" Marley nods her head, "Right, hi nice to see you again, you probably don't remember me." Eileen Says

"How could I forget the ghost chick that Sam brought back to life." Marley Says, as Eileen chuckles.

"True, speaking of Sam is he around I tried calling his phone but it goes straight to voicemail." Eileen Says

"Oh Eileen Sam's not around, they all stepped out for a bit." Marley Says

"Do you know when they'll be back?" Eileen Asks

"Uh.." She looks over at the bowl, with the purple flame, "No, I'm sure it won't be long. But is there something I should tell him, you know when he gets back?" Marley Says

"Sure, if you could please tell him that an old friend of mine Sue Barrish told me about a vamps nest moving down I-80, towards Omaha, and was wondering if he'd like to help out if there's no trouble." Eileen Says

"Yeah, sure I'll tell him when he gets back." Marley Says

"Thanks, bye Marley, bye Wren." Eileen Says, waving at the camera.

"Mhm, Bye." Marley Says, as she closes the computer.

Marley sits Wren down, stands up then adds more ingredients to bowl to increase the purple flames.

HELL

ROWENA'S THRONE ROOM

Rowena is sitting in her throne, sipping on her whiskey while the four hunters and Castiel are awaiting for news.

"So..how's it being the queen of hell?" Elena Asks

"Oh Eleanor, it's definitely not something I could have imagined but..what can I say I love being in charge." Rowena Says

"Hm." Elena Says

"What's with the quietness?" Rowena Says, looking down at them.

"Rowena, I-" Sam Says

"Samuel, please. You killing me was one of the best things that ever happened. Yes, there are things I miss about being alive. Flesh-on-flesh sex.
Amazon doesn't deliver here, yet. But, lads, I'm queen. My subjects revere me. Well, fear me, which is better. I should have died a long time ago. Samuel, be a dear." Rowena Says, she raises a glass to indicate she would like more.

"Yeah." Sam Says, then leaves the room.

Dean and Castiel glance over at each other, then looks away just as Rowena notices.

"What am I picking up from you two? A wee tiff? Tell your Auntie Rowena." She Says

"It's fine. Don't worry about it." Dean Says

"It's fine." Castiel Says, as Corinna and Elena scoffs.

"Please." Elena Says

"Such liars." Corinna mumbled

"Boys? Fix it. I don't have many regrets, but the few I do still haunt me. Making Napoleon so short was just bitchy," The four of them gave her a look,
"Telling Mick Jagger he had no future when I dumped him. And, well, everything with dear Fergus. Then one day, you die, you go to hell, they make you queen, and you can't make it right. So fix it!" Sam returns, and hands her the drink, "Thank you, my dove." Rowena Says

Then the door opens and one of Rowena's Demons enters.

"Milady." He Says

"Aye?" Rowena Says

"Michael, he's nowhere to be found." Demon Says

"Then where is he?" Sam Asks

JACI'S RED WAGON DINER

A waitress delivers a burger and fries to a table, as Adam takes a bite of the burger.

"Mmm." Adam Says

"You know that stuff will kill you, right?" Michael Says, as he's sitting across from him.

"Worth it. Michael, I haven't seen a burger in 10 years." Adam Says

Michael reached across and picked up a French fry off his plate, and scoffed.

"Go for it, kid." Michael Says

"You know, I know I don't need to eat. It just tastes so damn good." Adam Says

"I wouldn't know. I don't know much about any of this. You'll be my guide." Michael Says, as the waitress delivers a pepperoni pizza.

"Thank you." Adam Says

"You got it." She Says

"So, what about you? You gonna go back to heaven?" Adam Asks

"Uh, I don't know. My brothers are dead. My father never returned. In so many ways, I'm alone." Michael Says

"Yeah. Same here. It's not like I have family waiting to see me." Adam Says

"You have the Winchesters, your brothers." Michael Says

"I met them once. And they let me rot in hell." Adam Says

"Family." Michael Says

"Family sucks." Adam Says

THE BUNKER

Back at the bunker, Dean is on phone to Donatello.

"Donnie, hey. How you doing, pal? Listen, uh, we got ourselves a little situation here." Dean Says

"I thought I was off the case." Donatello Says

"Off the case? No, come on, pal. You're part of the team." Dean Says

"Oh. Gratifying." Donatello Says

"Listen, have you, uh, sensed anything lately?" Dean Asks

"Oh Uh, like?" Donatello Asks

"Like a-a surge of power? But not- not God-like. But almost God-like." Dean Says

"Uh, no, I don't think so." Donatello Says

"Okay, well, we've kind of got ourselves an emergency here, so, uh, if anything tickles your brain, you let us know." Dean Says

"Tickles my...?" Donatello Says

"Gotta go." Dean Says, then hangs up phone and joins Sam in map room.

"That Donatello?" Sam Asks

"Yeah, Donnie's got zip. What about you?" Dean Says

"Nothing that screams "archangel"." Sam Says, as Dean sits down.

"Great, you see Marley did good, right? Getting us back from hell." Dean W

"Yeah. I guess, probably must have been bored sitting there waiting for about an hour." Sam Says

Suddenly Marley enters the room and approaches Sam, who's on his computer.

"Hey Sam, I need to talk to you." Marley Says

"Sure, what's up?" Sam Asks

"So earlier when you guys were in hell, your friend Eileen called in on your computer." Marley Says

"She did, is everything okay?" Sam Asks

"She just wanted to know if you were around, to help her on a vamp nest up in Omaha." Marley Says

"A vamp nest, what's she doing taking on a risky hunt." Sam Says

"Dunno maybe because she's a hunter and that's kind of her job," Sam gives her a look,"Sorry." Marley Says

"She say anything else?" Dean Asks

"Nope." Marley Says

"Okay, thanks for telling me Marley." Sam Says, as Marley nodded.

JACI'S RED WAGON DINER

"Maybe I should pick up some kinda little job." Adam Says

"A little job?" Michael Says

"Yeah. Yeah, I mean, these are the same clothes we went to hell in. We're gonna have expenses, right? And whatever change I had, I spent on food, so, it's not like I can go back to college. Not with an archangel inside of me." Adam Says

A woman's hand comes into frame, as she placed her hand on his shoulder the camera pans up to reveal Lilith.

"Hello, Michael." Lilith Says

"Lilith." His eyes flash blue, "You're dead." Michael Says

"Was. Now I'm back, baby. And I've been sent to fetch you." Lilith Says, sitting across from him.

"I'm not accustomed to being fetched. Who sent you?" Michael Asks

"You have to ask? Your daddy. God. Yeah. He'd like a word." Lilith Says

"You're lying." Michael Says

"Really not." Lilith Says

"Then why would he send you, a demon, a speck of infernal bile?" Michael Says, as she rolls her eyes.

"One, ouch. Two, maybe because we worked together before. Remember? Setting off the Apocalypse?" Lilith Says

"To try and bring God back." Michael Says

"Right. Didn't work then, but then he came back on his own. So, win?" Lilith Says

"If that's true, he can come talk to me himself." Michael Says

"Yeah, except I'm not supposed to leave without you." Lilith Says

"Get out." Michael Says

"Michael." She grabbed his hand, "I can't fail him." Lilith Says

Michael glared over at Lilith, then his eyes flashed blue and he smites Lilith in a bright flash of light.
A dish shatters in a sink, we're at Donatello's home who is sensing Michael's power.

"Whoa!" Donatello Says

People in diner are stopped and staring at Michael.

"Remember nothing." Michael Says

He snapped his fingers wiping their memories, and the people in the diner go back to doing what they were doing as if nothing happened.

_____________________________

THE BUNKER

Dean's cellphone is ringing as it vibrates on the table, he picks it up to answer.

"Yo, Donnie?" Dean Says

"I know where he is." Donatello Says

"Really?" Dean Says

"I think he's in- Whoa! There! No, there- No, there! There!" Donatello Says

In the bunker Cas and Elena are nearby, as Dean looks to them shrugging his shoulders.

"What's he saying?" Elena Asks

"I don't know, damn it, Donnie!" Dean Says

"He's hurtling all over, Dean. There! Alright. He stopped. He seems to be staying put." Donatello Says

"Okay, where?" Dean Asks

"Cairo. Egypt. Excuse me. I need Bourbon." Donatello Says, then hangs up.

"Alright, well, good news is we know where he is. Bad news is we can't get to him in time. Not before he moves again." Dean Says

"Then we bring him to us." Castiel Says

Moments later Castiel is sitting up on the balcony in the war room, praying to Michael.

"Michael. Michael. This is Castiel. We didn't know each other very well, and our last meeting was unpleasant. But I know you have been through a terrible ordeal for many years. You've been beyond the reach of heaven. Been beyond the reach of Earth. Much has changed with both. Heaven is not what it was. And your father, your father is certainly not who you knew. Michael, there's a battle raging, and you are a warrior, but you must know the nature of this fight. I'm not your enemy anymore. Now we all have the same enemy. God Himself." Castiel Says, as he eyes flash blue.

WAREHOUSE

Castiel enters an empty warehouse, he looks around and no one is around.

"Michael?" Castiel Says

Angel wings are heard, as Michael appears in front of him.

"Thank you. Thank you for coming. Do you remember me?" Castiel Says

"You called me "ass-butt" and set me on fire. And then you helped send me to hell." Michael Says

"I did." Castiel Says

"And now what? You've come to tell me that God, my father, creator of all things, is my enemy? Or maybe you just came to beg forgiveness." Michael Says

"Oh, I didn't come to beg." Castiel Says

He takes out a lighter flickers it on, tossing it down on the ground as Michael is encircled with flames from holy oil. Sam and Dean then approached them,
Dean shows Michael a pair of handcuffs.

"Castiel, what have you done?" Michael glared over at him, angrily.

THE BUNKER

Back at the bunker, the four hunters and Cas look across from the arch angel.

"Even for you especially for you, this is stupid." Michael Says, as he paces handcuffed.

"Good to see you too, Mike." Dean Says

"Sam. You look well. Last time I saw you in the Cage..." Michael Says

"Yeah, it doesn't matter. We need your help. God.." Sam Says

"I've heard. Repeatedly." Michael Says, taking a seat.

"Well, then you're aware that..." Elena Says

"I'm not aware of anything. You're asking me to trust you-you, who doomed me, you, who let Lucifer walk free while your own brother sat in hell." Michael Says

"Doing what we do, we've had to get used to losing people. Probably too used to it. With Adam, we said goodbye because we thought we had to. We were wrong." Sam Says

"Well, don't tell me. Tell him." Michael Says

His Eyes flash with blue light, and Adam is present as they look at him.

"Hey, Sam. Dean." Adam Says

"Adam?" Sam Says

"Ha!" Adam Chuckles

"Wait, Mic- Michael lets you talk? I mean, he lets you be?" Dean Asks

"Uh, yeah. In the Cage, we came to an agreement. We only had each other." Adam Says

"Adam, look, I know we bailed on you, okay, and there is nothing that we can say to fix that." Dean Says

"How about, uh "I'm sorry"?" Adam Says, then his eyes flash with blue light.

"Enough. Why am I here?" Michael Asks

"Michael, we needed to speak with you because God is back. You didn't think the Cage just opened on its own, did you?" Castiel Says

"If my father is back, he will usher in Paradise." Michael Says

"No, he won't. Because Paradise is boring, and your dad he's just looking to be entertained." Corinna Says

"Which means we're his puppets. All of us, especially you." Dean Says

"I won't hear this. You're lying. I don't know what your agenda is, but you're lying." Michael Says

"Michael." Castiel Says, then Michael's eyed flash blue again.

"Hey. It's Adam, I'd give it a rest. He's not listening." He Says

The five of them share a look then leaves the room, as Adam and Michael are alone in the room to speak privately.

"So, I've been thinking. Maybe they're not lying." Adam Says

"Ohh." Michael sighed

"H-Hear me out. Sam and Dean try to be on the right side of things. They actually do. They tried to talk me out of taking you on, for example, out of all of this." Adam Says

"So, you forgive them?" Michael questioned

"Oh, hell, no. No. But that's not what this is about. It's- Look, if they tell you something's off with God, it's because they believe it's true. And if they believe it, it probably is true." Adam Says

"You and I have been together for years. My father and I have been together for eternity. I exist because he willed it." Michael Says

"So he's having a mid-eternity crisis. Or- Or, maybe you don't know your dad as well as you think you do." Adam Says

"Oh. Mm." Michael groaned in annoyance

"The point is parents keep secrets, right? Does it hurt to ask the question?" Adam Says

"Yes! It would. It would mean that I doubt him. The good son, the favorite, doubts his father." Michael Says

"You still care about that? After he left you in the Cage?" Adam Asks, as Michael looks at him unsure.

Meanwhile Sam is walking down the corridor, his phone rings then answers it.

"Hey, Eileen I've been trying to call you." Sam Says

"Sam, I need your help please come help I could use the assistance on this hunt." Eileen Says

"Okay, sure just send me the directions and I'll be on my way." Sam Says

He runs down the hall to Wren's room, where Elena and Corinna are.

"Hey." Sam Says

"Hey." Corinna Says

"Sam you okay?" Elena Asks

"No, it's Eileen she needs my help." Sam Says

"Eileen, what is she okay?" Corinna Asks

"I think I mean, a friend of hers gave her the drop on a vamp nest in Omaha, she needs my help but I could use some help you guys wanna come with?" Sam Asks

"Yeah, sure of course I'll come with, Lena you.." Corinna Says

"No, no go on I'll stay back with the kids, Dean and Cas. Go ahead, just keep me posted." Elena Says

"Alright, Okay. Let's go." Sam Says

"Be safe." Elena Says

"Mhm." Corinna Says

Corinna grabs her coat and run out following behind Sam. Back in the room where Michael is, Castiel enters.

"Adam?" Castiel Says

"Not this time. I'll spare you the effort. I'm not gonna betray my father and everything I've believed in." Michael Says

"Why not? You know, he betrayed you. You know, Michael, I never really liked you. Even when I was just another angel, I thought you were too haughty, too- To paraphrase a friend, you had an entire oak tree shoved up your ass. But now? I'm looking at you, and I- I just pity you. Because you were never God's favorite. You were just a little part of his story, a tiny part of his story. You weren't even a star. At least Lucifer knew that God can't be trusted. But I guess he was always the smart one." Castiel Says

Michael jumps up and grabs Cas and they start fighting.

"See the truth for yourself." Castiel Says

Castiel reaches up and takes ahold of Michael's head as his eyes flash blue, and sees all of the memories of Chuck.

Scenes from Moriah 14.20 cut with flashes of Chuck as he's writing and of Michael's face as Cas is showing him the images.

"I'm a writer. Lying's kinda what we do."

"Of all the Winchester's, you and Corinna in all the multiverse, you're my favorite show."

"And you were right. I am a monster."

"Wait, you're enjoying this."

"Shh."

"This isn't how the- the story's supposed to end!"

"The story? Wait, what are you saying?"

"He's saying he's been playing us. This whole time. Everything. This is all you because you wrote it all, right? Because we're your favorite show? Because we're part of your story?"

"The Apocalypse, with Lucifer and Michael, you knew everything that was going on. Why didn't you just snap your fingers and end it?!"

"Fine! That's the way you want it?! Story's over. Welcome to the end."

Michael releases Castiel, and steps back in disbelief from what he just saw.

"No, no..no." Michael Says

Moments later in the kitchen Cas sitting at the table as Dean enters and grabs beer from the fridge.

"Maybe you went too far." Dean Says

"Maybe." Castiel Says

"I mean, he's been in lockdown for quite a while, you know? Maybe you just, uh, went too fast. What's he doing now?" Dean Says

"No idea. He was very distraught." Castiel Says

"Yeah, but what exactly did he say?" Dean Asks

"Leave. Get out. I want you dead". We didn't bond. Where's Sam and Corinna?" Castiel Asks

"Eileen hit a snag with a case. So, they won't be gone long." Dean Says

All of sudden the bunker starts rumbling, Elena comes rushing into the room.

"What's going on?" Elena Asks

"Michael." Castiel Says

They rush down the hall, downstairs and Dean, Elena and Castiel enter the room with Michael.

"God lied to me. I gave everything for him. I loved him. Why? I'm not even the only Michael." He Says

_________________________________

PARKING GARAGE

Corinna and Sam arrived at the empty parking garage, she parks her car as they see Eileen's car.

"Okay." Sam Says, as they exit her car.

"Is this her's?" Corinna Asks, as she looks inside.

"Yeah." Sam Says, as they use their flashlights to look around the area.

"Wait she said she saw vampires here?" Sam nods his head, "It looks empty." Corinna Says

"I know..this is weird, where is she?" Sam Says

"Guess you didn't look hard enough." Eileen Says, as she approaches them.

"Eileen, you're okay." Sam smiles

"Yup, nice seeing you again Sam." Eileen Says, then looks over at Corinna.

"Oh right, Eileen this is Corinna Stark, Corinna this is Eileen Leahy." Sam Says

Corinna walks over to shake Eileen's hand, as the two of them smiles at each other.

"Hi Eileen, nice to finally meet you I've heard so much about you." Corinna Says

"Yeah, you as well." Eileen Says

"Thank god, you're okay must of been some nest." Corinna Says

Suddenly Eileen changes into Chuck in a ball of black smoke.

"Any time. Hi, guys." Chuck Says

THE BUNKER

"So, yes, I will help you." Michael Says

"Seriously?" Elena Says

"Yes. What was done to the Darkness can be done to God, if he's as weak as you say. And I know how." Michael Says

Michael pulls a folded piece of paper from his pocket and slides it across the table.

"What's that?" Dean Asks

"That's the spell." Michael Says

"And the ingredients?" Castiel Says, reading them.

"Myrrh, cassia, rockrose." Michael Says

"We've got that." Dean Says

"And, to bind the spell together, the nectar from a Leviathan blossom." Michael Says

"A Leviathan blossom? What is that, like a flower?" Elena Asks

"A flower that only grows in one place. Purgatory." He snaps his fingers, and a yellow portal opens behind him, "That's the door. It'll remain open for 12 hours. Now, if you'll please." Michael Says

Dean removes handcuffs, "You coming with us?"

"No." Michael Says, walking towards the door.

"Before you go, can I talk to him?" Dean Asks

Michael's eyes flash blue, and Adam turns to face Dean.

"Yeah?" Adam Says

"Adam, I want you to know we are sorry. What happened to you...you're a good man. You didn't deserve that." Dean Says

"Since when do we get what we deserve? Good luck." Adam Says, then leaves the room as Dean watches on.
