ABANDONED WAREHOUSE

Dean, Corinna and Castiel are waiting next to Gadreel's unconscious body, Dean is pacing.

"A demon and an angel walk into my brother. Sounds like a bad joke." Dean Says

"Dean, if this doesn't work..." Corinna Says

"It'll work." Dean Says

SAM'S MIND

Sam is working at the table in the bunker. He is flipping through a book trying to figure something out.

"I mean, it just doesn't make any sense. Why is this ghoul only chomping on dead cheerleaders?" Sam Says

"Hey, you want a beer?!" Dean Asks

"No, I'm fine." Sam Says

"Not bad." Crowley Says

Sam jumps out his chair in shock "Dean? Dean!"

"Poughkeepsie." Crowley Says

"How do you know that word?" Sam Asks

"Because Dean's sent me, Bullwinkle, the real Dean. I'll make this quick – you've been possessed by an angel. He's got you packed away in some dusty corner of your own mind, and I'm here to break you out." Crowley Says

"Seriously?" Sam Says

"Fine. We'll do this the fun way." Crowley Says

He picks up Dean's gun from the table and shoots Sam chest and he shakes in shock but then realizes he is fine and not even bleeding.

"See? Not real. Like I said. I know how possession works, Sam. You've seen everything that he's seen, even if you can't remember. That's what I need you to do. I need you to remember." Crowley Says

Sam closes his eyes and tries and then is bombarded with memories from when Gadreel was in control. He sees himself in the hospital bed, slicing Demon Soldier throats, talking with Dean in the courtyard and finally burning Kevin's eyes out with his own hand. His face crumbles as he puts the pieces together.

"Did I kill Kevin?" Sam Says

"No, you didn't. He did. You need to take control, Sam. Blow it up and cast that punk-ass holy roller out!" Sam looks up and sees Gadreel in his old vessel form standing behind him. "What? Oh, bollocks."

"Hello, Sam." Gadreel Says

"Who are you?" Sam Asks

"His name is Gadreel, the original chump." Crowley Says

"Was a chump. And now? I'm going to be the one that leads my kind back to heaven. I'm going to be a hero. But you, demon, for all your chatter, you will always be a coward. You should be running." Gadreel Says

Crowley punches Gadreel in the face and he swings back hurling him over the table. Gadreel starts to kick him and Sam comes to his rescue only to be thrown backwards over the table himself. Gadreel straddles him and starts to strangle him.

"Give up, boy. You're not strong enough." Gadreel Says

"Take control, Sam! Cast him out!" Crowley Says
As Sam only gets a few words out before being choked

"Get out of my –" Sam Says

"You sure you want me to go? Maybe I'm the only thing holding you together. I leave, you might die." Gadreel Says

Sam grabs an object and hits Gadreel across the head with it and gets the upper hand. He stands and presses his foot down on Gadreel's neck.

"I said get...the hell...Out!" Sam Says

Immediately, white angel smoke leaves Sam's body in the warehouse as Dean, Corinna and Castiel dodge the brilliant light. Metatron still sits at the bar now having drunk about four martinis. Gadreel's old vessel is still there tending the bar. He comes over to Metatron.

"Waiting for someone?" He Asks

"I am, and he's late." Metatron Says

The building begins to shake, all the glass breaks and a brilliant light shines through the windows.

"Yes." He Says

The white angel smoke shoves its way down the Bartenders throat, Metatron looks amused.

"Let me guess. Winchester trouble?" Metatron Says

Red smoke flies out of Sam's mouth and into Crowley's body. Sam gasps and regains consciousness, Corinna, Dean and Castiel run to him.

"Sam!" Dean Says

"Sam!" Corinna Says

"I'm fine. Thanks for asking." Crowley Says
As Castiel starts removing the needles from Sam's head

"Sam, are you okay?" Castiel Asks

"Cas?" Sam Says

Headlights flash in the window and Castiel goes and checks it out as Dean and Corinna un-cuffs Sam.
Castiel looks out the window to see two demons and Abaddon & Katherine exit the car.

"It's Abaddon..and Katherine." Castiel Says

"Go. The back door. I'll handle this." Crowley Says

"Oh, 'cause you're such a good guy?" Dean Says

"Right now, I'm the goodest guy you got." Crowley Says

"This don't make us square. I see you again –" Dean Says

"I'm dead. Yes, I know. I love you, too." Crowley Says

Dean and Castiel each grab one of Sam's arms and help him out the back door, they all leave quickly.

"Pleasure doing business with you boys, as always." Crowley Says

He sits down in the chair Sam just vacated as Abaddon, Katherine and their demons enter. He swivels around slowly.

"Crowley." Abaddon Says

"Hello, darlings." Crowley Says

"Hello Crowley." Katherine Smiles

"Katherine long time no see, always a pleasure." Crowley Says

"It's never a pleasure to see you." Katherine Says

"Bring me his head." Abaddon Says As Both Demons hesitate

"See, that's the thing about demons. They're only obedient to a point. Right. Let's have a chat." Crowley Says

"Were not here to talk." Abaddon Says

"And I'm not talking to you. I'm talking to them, the average demon, because I feel their pain. It must have been difficult, with your loving king so cruelly taken from you. I imagine you felt all at sea and then along came...The brute and her pet..She's strong...and a knight and immortal at the moment. So I'm not surprised that some of my more idiotic subjects bought her line. But now? Good news, fellas..Daddy's home." Crowley Says

"Hell doesn't want you, Crowley. It's Abaddon's." Katherine Says

"Is it? Not what I hear. Not while I'm still kicking." Crowley Says

"Well, then, let's settle it. You and me. Right here. Winner takes the crown." Abaddon Says

"See, that's your problem, love. You think this is a fight." Crowley Says

"It's not?" Abaddon Says

"It's a campaign. Hearts and minds, that's what's important. See, the demons have a choice – take orders from the world's angriest ginger – and that's saying something – or join my team, where everyone gets a say, a virgin, and all the entrails they can eat.
So, think on this, lads. Spread the word – vote Crowley." He snaps his fingers and disappears

DOCK

Castiel, Corinna, Sam and Dean are on a long dock in the pouring rain. Castiel slowly moves his hand over Sam's head healing all the stab wounds from the needles he sways unsteadily.

"You feel better?" Corinna Asks

"A little, yeah." Sam Says

"It'll take time to fully heal you. We'll have to do it in stages." Castiel Says

Sam nods in agreement, Corinna walks over and hugs him gently. Sam keeps looking unsteadily at his older brother. Dean approaches with reservation. Castiel and Corinna backs away to a respectful distance.

"All right. Let me hear it." Dean Says

"What you do want me to say – that I'm pissed? Okay. I am. I'm pissed you lied to me. Again." Sam Says

"I didn't have a choice." Dean Says

"I was ready to die, Dean!" Sam Says

"I know. But I wouldn't let you, because that's not in me." Dean Says

"So, what? You decide to trick me into being possessed by some... psycho angel?" Sam Says

"He saved your life." Dean Says

"So what? I was willing to die..And now... Kevin..."Sam Says As His eyes fill with guilty tears

"No. That is not on you. Kevin's blood is on my hands, and that ain't ever getting clean. I'll burn for that. I will. But I'll find Gadreel. And I will end that son of a bitch..But I'll do it alone." Dean Says

"What's that supposed to mean?" Sam Asks

"Come on, man. Can't you see? I'm... I'm poison, Sam. People get close to me, they get killed...or worse. You know, I tell myself that I-I – I help more people than I hurt. And I tell myself that I'm – I'm doing it all for the right reasons, and I – I believe that. But I can't – I won't... Drag anybody through the muck with me. Not anymore." Dean Says

"Go. I'm not gonna stop you." Sam Says

Dean's face falls in defeat and surrender and after shooting Castiel and Corinna a glance then he slowly turns to walk away.

"But don't go thinking that's the problem, 'cause it's not." Sam Says

"What's that supposed to mean?" Dean Asks

"Just go." Sam Says

Dean slowly walks to the Impala as Castiel and Corinna comes back to stand with Sam. Dean unlocks the car and slowly climbs in. He drives away leaving his brother, Corinna and the angel in the rain.
