It had been days since their failed attempt at tracking Gadreel. Cas had vanished yet again leaving Judy and Sam alone. They had been in the bunker for days until Sam had gotten something. Apparently Sam and Dean had a friend named Garth and Garth was a stand in for Bobby -- God rest his soul -- and a hunter as well.

Well, apparently the man was in the hospital unresponsive. Sam of course was ready to go see him and Judy, with nothing better to do, tagged along for the ride.

What the two of them hadn't expected was to find Dean already there. Sam of course played his usual role of FBI while Judy played her role as, well, the concerned friend more or less.

"Dean?"

Judy said not having expected to see the man here, alone, without Nikki.

"Hey. Didn't expect to see you two here."

Dean greeted. Judy arched a brow. Something was off about Dean. Sam could tell too, though he figured it was still Dean being, well, Dean.

"I've got this covered so why don't you two just -- "

"Where's Nikki?"

Judy question stopped Dean dead in his tracks. He cleared his throat looking at Sam.

"Did you know she was banging Crowley?"

Sam's quick changing expression told Dean that he hasn't known. Judy seemed just as equally surprised hearing this.

"She -- she's what?"

"Yeah, her and the King of douche are getting freaky together. So she's off somewhere looking for the First Blade with him."

Dean said leaving out the part where he kicked them both out of Baby once he figured it out. Judy frowned before pulling out her phone. She excused herself leaving the room allowing Dean and Sam some alone time with their buddy.

Dailing Crowley's number quickly she waited for the demon to pick up. It went to voicemail after a moment. Cursing under her breath Judy became angry dailing again and again. After the fourth or fifth time of not picking up, she was livid now.

How dare he not pick up her calls! He had her cousin he best damned be picking up his phone. Finally after the eleventh time Judy hung up the phone. She was prepared to summon the asshat and deal with him personally.

But her imagination for great torture for Crowley was cut short when Sam and Dean came rushing down the hallway.

"Garth's gone!"

Sam told her in passing. Judy rushed after the boys quickly out into the parking lot scanning the area unable to find him. Seeing a patient's robe on the parking lot ground Judy frowned.

Sam and Dean's friend had just vanished.

Nikki sighed as she sank into the sorching hot bath water in Crowley's hotel suite. Her closed eyes opened slowly to see the water around her head turning red. Her hair dye was slowly seeping into the water making it change colors. She knew it was only a matter of time before her hair turned from red to pink and blonde.

The bathroom door opened causing her to jump a little, water splashing about in the tub. Crowley stood there leaning against the frame just watching her. Her nose barely above water as she looked at him, watching him watching her.

"What?"

She finally asked. Crowley's face was slightly pale as she noticed. He was sweating a bit too. That was odd seeing as how she had never seen him like that.

"Just watching a beautiful woman."

He said with a slight shake of his head. Her cheeks warmed, and not because of the water either, as she stared right at how forward Crowley had just been with her.

"Are you alright?"

"Never better love."

Love -- now that was something that Crowley rarely called her. She watched as he walked over to the edge of the tub. She was relaxing with her arms across her chest and her legs pressed together preventing him from seeing her body. He looked at her for a moment longer.

"Mind if I join you?"

His question through her off. Crowley was acting strange. He had been acting strange ever since she had woken up here at the hotel. He had been coming and going, saying he was looking for the First Blade. And she believed him for a while, but after a couple of days being held up in the hotel room she started to wonder why they had been here for so long.

Why hadn't he offered to return her home or to the bunker? It was almost as if Crowley didn't want her to leave.

"Is it such a crime to want to spend time with my favorite girl?"

He asked pulling his shirt off since she hadn't told him no. His pants came down leaving him completely naked. She didn't say anything as she moved forward in the tub to let him climb in behind her.

He sighed deeply his head relaxing back against the tub while his hands came around and his arms wrapped themselves around her chest. It wasn't sexual, it was actually more like a hug. Crowley was hugging her from behind keeping her close to his chest.

"Do you like it here?"

His question threw her off. Resting her head back against his tattooed shoulder she gave her own sigh.

"It's nice."

She muttered. She felt Crowley's thumb rubbing against her elbow where his hands rested. She felt a light squeeze around her arms from Crowley's hold.

"I'm glad, kitten."

He said kissing the side of her forehead softly.

What the hell was wrong with Crowley?

"Dean?"

Judy questioned looking at the man. The whole ordeal with their buddy Garth was getting more and more weird. So apparently Garth was a werewolf and he had a group of others? Judy had little faith, like Dean, that everything was as it seems.

And now sitting on the phone with him she was beginning yo grow impatient.

Through this whole type of hunt, Dean had been avoiding the question left and right of where Crowley had taken her cousin and as to why. But Dean had been so tight lipped -- she was growing angry.

"Look, I can't talk right now out Sammy on the phone."

"Sammy is busy. Dean, I'm not gonna ask again -- "

"Good, then don't! Look we've got bigger fish to fry right now -- "

"I can't even get a hold of her!"

She snapped. Sam looked at her wide eyed. The two of them had staid at the motel room while Dean went and checked out Garth and his so called pack. Judy had been on edge since she heard that Nikki had went missing. Things weren't good.

Sam and Dean learned a long time ago that even though the two were only cousins, they lived more like sisters, much like how the brothers did themselves.

"Well that's her fault! She chose Crowley, now put Sammy on the phone!"

Judy wanted to break the phone in half, but tossed Sam's phone back to him. The younger brother looked at Judy with sympathy as he took the phone and started speaking to Dean.

Judy gazed out the shitty motel window looking out into the parking lot. She huffed her head starting to hurt. Pulling her phone out she dailed Crowley's number again only for it to come to voice mail after a few moments.

She shook her head and gripped her phone tightly. She wished Cas was back at full power so he could track her down. She didn't trust Crowley, not even with his and Nikki's so called deal.

"Judy?"

Sam's voice pulled her out of her daze. Turning around and looking at Sam she noticed he was now standing. Rubbing the back of his neck he cleared his throat.

"Dean, um, he needs us to meet up with him."

"Whatever."

She snapped scoffing as she brushed past the table and around Sam. The man watched as she stormed out of the motel room. He sighed shaking his head and walking out after her.

"Judy wait."

Sam said as he walked over to the drivers seat. Judy just glared at Sam. He sighed putting his hands up.

"Look, I know you're worried about Nikki, but lighting a fire under Dean won't help anything."

"He's not telling me everything Sam! He's hiding something!"

"Okay, yeah, we all know! I had an angel in me remember?"

Judy just kept her glare toward Sam, but it slowly started to fade. What Dean had done to Sam wasn't right. His actions killed people, hurt them. She knew something had been wrong with Sam when they had found Cas wounded, but she never asked.

"Dean will... Dean will come around. He's an ass, but pushing him won't solve what happened with Nikki and Crowley."

Sam said softly. Judy bit her lower lip but nodded. Regardless she needed to get Dean to tell her what the hell happened, where Crowley might have taken her cousin and why he's not answering his phone.

She needed to know.

She had to know.

Her back arched up off the bed. Crowley thrusting deep and slow into her. Hands wrapping around his back as she moaned out. Body trembling as her head tilted back and she yelled shaking feeling his hardened erection inside her.

Crowley groaned and hissed as he felt her clamping down around his cock. Pulling out swiftly he ejaculated across her naked stomach. He groaned feeling his cock twitch before it went limp. Looking up, Crowley caught sight of her blue eyes opening and looking down at him.

"Crowley..."

Her soft spoken voice called out. She was exhausted. He could tell by the way she spoke, laid there, looked at him.

"Yes darling?"

His breath came out as pants, equal to that of her own.

"Why haven't you ever came inside me?"

Crowley sighed, his body buzzing as the whirlwind of emotions filled him. He leaned up and over her kissing her lips softly. She kissed back.

"If I did it would result in a Cambion."

He said rolling over and off of her, yet pulling her into his chest. Crowley had been acting odder and odder over the last few days. The longer they had been here held up in this hotel room the more... The more emotional Crowley had seemed to become.

"A Cambion? What's that?"

Nikki asked laying her hand across Crowley's chest. He chuckled a little his hand moving across her arm.

"For you being a huntress you know very little about things that go bump in the night."

"What can I say, I only learn about the things I need to know on a day to day basis."

"Well, then you should know that if I were to cum in you, even once, you'd be instantly with child."

"Instantly? Seems a bit much?"

Crowley chuckled again, but quickly fell silent. He laid there rubbing her arm for a moment.

"How would you feel?"

His question threw her off for a second.

"About being pregnant?"

"With my child."

She looked up at him. His pale complexion only seeming to become worse the longer they had been here. Between his looks and how he was acting she was becoming worried about him.

'What's happening to you?'

She waited for his reply as her thumb ran across his chin.

And waited.

And waited.

And waited.

Her brows frowed together.

'Crowley?'

And again nothing but him just looking right at her. Suddenly there came a sound from the closet door that startled her. It sounded like something from inside had fallen. Crowley's eyes darted from the closet to her.

"Come darling, let's watch a movie. I'll even let you pick."

He said trying to obviously distract her from the sound. Narrowing her eyes she went to sit up on him. She looked toward the closet and then back down at Crowley.

"Crowley... what was that?"

"It's nothing -- "

With that answer she rose up from the bed. Grabbing her sleepwear she pulled them on while Crowley came up with every excuse he could think of to get her back into bed. But instead she came and opened the closet door.

Her eyes widened seeing a half dead man with tape over his mouth hanging in the closet. He was pale as a ghost. She didn't know how long he had been there, but it must have been a while.

"My king, I've brought you -- "

Nikki turned around quickly seeing Lola standing in the doorway with a fur coat on and a bag in her hands. Lola looked between the three of them and didn't really seem to know what to do. That's when Nikki seen the brown bag in her hands.

"What's in the bag?"

Lola parted her lips to give some type of snarky remark, but was cut off by Crowley.

"It's nothing love. Come back to bed."

Nikki looked baffled at Crowley.

"Come back to -- come back to bed!? Seriously!? There's a half dead man in our closet and you expect me to just come back to bed! Not to mention you apparently can't read my mind anymore and you've been acting fucking weird!"

She snapped causing Crowley's eyes to widen. She turned toward Lola.

"What's in the bag!"

Lola scoffed taking the bag and pulling out a blood pouch. It was only seconds before Nikki pieced two and two together.

"Human blood... human blood! Crowley you fucking promised me!!"

She snapped. Crowley threw his hands up in the air while he climbed up out of bed approaching her.

"I promised that as long as I was there in the bunker I wouldn't do it! This isn't the bunker!"

"Are you serious!? A loophole! That doesn't make it okay!!"

Crowley lowered his arms as he grabbed her forearms. He looked her in the eyes the desperation that he looked at her with nearly broke her heart -- nearly.

"Those bloody Winchesters did this to me! They made me a junkie for human blood! It's their fault I'm like this! After everything that they did to me! Trying to make me human, locking me up, making me find the one thing that can kill Abaddon -- they never cared!"

Her bottom lip started to quiver. Crowley's voice cracked, the tears coming to his eyes as his hands moved up to either side of her neck. He pulled her closer to him refusing to look anywhere else but her eyes.

"But you... you've cared haven't you? You've cared for a long, long time."

She couldn't take it any more. She pulled Crowley into her and just held him. She kept him close as she ran her hand down the back of his head trying to sooth him. This blood was out of control. She knew that now. He needed help. And it was a type of help that she wasn't so sure she could help him with.

But she also knew that for an addict to kick their addiction, they had to be the ones willing to try and willing to stay clean.

Glancing back to the door she noticed Lola was gone. She must have vanished some time during the moment Crowley was distracted with her. Sighing she didn't care about the stupid bitch. Right now her full attention had to be Crowley.

"What the hell do you mean only a few times!? There's 72 missed calls from her Crowley!!"

Nikki snapped seeing Crowley's phone for the first time. She had gotten curious when she heard a buzzing sound coming from Crolwey's pocket while he was in and out of things. For the first time she seen him inject himself since the truth was out.

She begged him not to but he did it anyway.

Stubborn fucking demon.

So while he was riding his high, Nikki had grabbed his phone and checked it only to see all the missed calls from Judy. Crowley rolled his eyes before holding out his hands.

"I didn't want to ruin our alone time."

"Our alone time? Crowley -- we've been here for weeks! She's been trying to get a hold of me this whole time and you never once thought to tell me because you didn't want our alone time ruined?"

She snapped. Crowley stood from his chair and grabbed Nikki by the arms. She yelled looking at Crowley as he pulled her into him.

"For weeks I've been relying on you! Weeks I've had this deep, humanity type of feeling -- I want you to myself. I can't even begin to think about -- about you -- "

Crowley couldn't even finish his sentence before he started sniffling. Her heart broke everytime this happened. Everytime Crowley became overly emotional due to the humanity that the blood gave him. It was like he was on the brink of becoming human, but never reaching that final stage.

"About me what Crowley?"

He looked at her.

"I just wanna be loved..."

All her anger she had about the missed calls had suddenly vanished. All the anger about anything that she could have with Crowley right now was gone. His words broke her heart. His near sobbing plead and his watery eyes caused her own heart to ache.

Dropping the phone on the floor, Nikki raised her hands and cupped Crowley's face. Her thumbs moving slowly across his sweaty, pale face. He whined turning his cheek in her hand pressing against her more.

"Crowley, you need help."

She told him. They both knew it was more than true. Crowley had sank too deep into this whole thing while letting the blood run his life.

"My king?"

The hotel door opened as Lola walked inside. She looked at both Crowley and Nikki, who stood in the middle of the livingroom layout pressed close to one another. Her hands on his face, his face turned ever so slightly into her palm. The sheer expression that they both shared made Lola sick.

It was love.

"What is it Lola?"

Crowley questioned removing Nikki's hands from his face. She dropped her arms down to her side keeping her eyes off Lola. The demon bitch not only made her blood boil, but she also couldn't stand the fact that she knew Lola judged her for a lot of things -- one of those things being her relationship with Crowley.

"My king, I brought you something."

She said as she flaunted -- the bitch -- toward Crowley. He arched a brow watching as she pulled from her bag human blood. The wicked smile on her face caused Nikki to turn and spit venom the demon's way.

"He doesn't need that! Throw that out!"

"I don't answer to you, human. I answer to my King. My king, who needs someone to fulfill all his needs."

"What the fuck does that mean?"

Nikki hissed. Lola rolled her eyes before looking at Crowley, which was when she smirked.

"My king here."

Lola said holding out the bag, which Nikki slapped away and out of her hand having it fly up through the air nearly hitting the ceiling as it propelled across the room hitting the wall at the far corner by the bedroom door.

Lola hissed she lunged for the bigger woman only to find herself tossed like a rag doll across the room sliding into the bedroom. She hit the bed with a gasp looking up at Crowley.

"Enough. You think me stupid?"

Crowley questioned the demon looking at the shocked expression she wore. Nikki was a little off by his sudden advancement as well not realizing that he had enough mojo to even do that since he had barely been able to read her mind these last few weeks.

"My king, I -- "

"Not only do you go behind my back playing for Abaddon, but you also have the nerve to try and attack what's mine?"

Nikki's eyes widened looking at Crowley's now back. He stood before Lola in the bedroom. She grabbed her stomach and laughed as she rose from the ground.

"You're disgusting. If you honestly believe for a second that you're in any condition to rule. You're suppose to be our king and you not only inject human blood but you're also with a filthy, ugly, disgusting human."

Lola spat. Crowley stood there for a moment silent just listening. Nikki stood across the room having mixed emotions about the whole ordeal. She knew it shouldn't have mattered, but Lola's words hit her hard. It wasn't so much women telling her that she wasn't pretty as it was men, so it was odd and upsetting to hear.

Then again, demon.

"Maybe you're right... maybe I'm not for for the throne. But you're wrong about that beautiful creature that I've been lucky enough to be with."

Nikki jumped when suddenly out from Crowley's sleeve slid an angel blade and he stabbed her right in the gut causing her to scream and light up like a Christmas tree. Dropping like a sack of potatoes Nikki watched as Lola died before she even hit the floor.

Crowley tossed the angel blade onto the floor before walking into the livingroom. He picked up his tumbler sipping his bourbon before gazing at the woman he'd left standing there. Nikki looked at him, watching as he seemed to have been thinking, before he moved forward.

Her whole body went tense as he wrapped his arm around her waist to yank her into his body and smashing his lips down onto hers.

"You did what!?"

Judy's screech through the bunker was enough to cause Sam to cover his ears. Dean had finally told Judy that Crowley hadn't kidnapped her cousin and instead Dean had kicked them both out of his car.

Her constant worrying and complaining finally caused Dean to snap hoping that it would at least calm her the hell down to know that Crowley, for once, hadn't played the bad guy bit.

"I've been worried sick, Dean Winchester! And you mean to tell me that you left her and Crowley in the middle of the road several states over in the middle of the night!"

Judy was extremely pissed it wasn't hard for either of the boys to tell. She screamed kicking over one of the library chairs. Between Kevin's death, Gadreel, Crowley and Nikki, she was at her witts end. She wasn't having any of Dean's bullshit anymore.

Sam feeling as if it was safe enough to remove his hands from the sides of his head looked between the two fighting. Dean was oddly calm for all of this happening, so much so it was extremely unsettling.

"So you've lied to me again!"

She snapped smacking her side's with her hands. Dean sat there at the library table.

"What did you expect me to be happy about her sleeping with the King of Hell? That I could actually trust her after everything that she's lied about?"

"But that's the thing! You can trust her! You can always trust her! It doesn't matter who she lets stick their dick in her because she's always going to be Nikki!"

Judy cried. That much was true. Her cousin had been with some extremely scummy dudes, but she had always staid the same no matter who it was she was with.

"Look I told you alright. That's what you wanted right?"

Judy felt her blood boil. She couldn't believe how chill Dean was acting about the whole thing right now. It wasn't bad enough that they had just had Kevin's spirit to deal with and rescuing his mother from one of Crowley's old storage units -- but now Dean just didn't seem to care about jack shit.

"You know what Dean, I -- "

Suddenly there was a phone buzzing which caused Judy to stop. It was Dean's phone. Glancing down at the caller ID Judy just barely caught site of Crowley's number.

Nikki laid naked on the couch on top of Crowley. He was passed out sleeping from their little sexual adventure in the livingroom right after he killed Lola. Seeing the phone that laid on the floor not far from the couch Nikki took a minute before she leaned over Crowley's chest and snatched the phone up.

Biting her bottom lip she viewed that Dean had been calling a handful of times as well. Pushing the button Nikki waited until she heard Dean pick up on the other side.

"Dean? I need your help."

"It stinks in here!"

Sam said as he looked around the hotel room. Dean and Judy looking around as well. The trio looked at the dead bodies that littered the floor understanding why it smelt so bad.

"Sorry about that."

A voice sounded from across the room. The three of them watched as Nikki walked out dressed in nightly attire. She crossed her arms over her chest while she stood there looking at Dean.

"Things have gotten out of hand."

She told them. Judy looked around the room before looking at the dead woman on the floor.

"Did you -- "

"Crowley. She attacked me and is apparently working for Abaddon."

Nikki said walking forward. Sam glanced at Dean, noticing that his brother kept his eyes on her as she moved about the room.

"He's not here right now, but I guess it's good. I need your help. He's... He's addicted to the blood and I'm actually afraid."

"Afraid of him?"

Sam questioned. She shook her head before running her hand across her face.

"I'm afraid that he's going to kill himself or turn himself human, whichever one is most capable of happening."

"And why would that be such a bad thing?"

Dean snapped. Nikki's eyes shot up before she stormed toward him. Dean didn't move as she stood toe to toe glaring at the man.

"I know you don't like him, but you and your brother did this to him! You both turned him into a junkie! He's lost the throne and a bigger threat has taken it and is going to let an apocalypse run loose! At least with Crowley he was against that happening!"

Dean was silent for a moment. But she could tell by his expression that he knew she was right.

"She's kinda right Dean. We did do this. At least with Crowley, we only had the occasional demon encounters. If Abaddon brings on the apocalypse -- "

"I know Sammy."

Dean said while Nikki stepped back giving Dean room.

"Are you okay?"

Judy asked. She was the first one to actually care about Nikki's well being. The elder woman merely nodded.

"Those my clothes?"

She asked seeing the bag Judy had brought on her back. Having almost forgot about it she nodded. Taking the bag off her back she handed it to Nikki, causing her to disappear into the bathroom.

"I can't believe this right now."

Dean scoffed. Sam arched a brow.

"She's right you know."

"Yeah, and it didn't help that you kicked her out of the car."

Sam and Judy both chimed in. Dean rolled his eyes. He couldn't believe these two right now.

"He's fucking her! And she's allowing it!"

"Yeah and Sam fucked Ruby! What's your point, Dean?"

Judy said tossing Sam under the bus. Sam frowned, but he knew she wasn't wrong. Dean scoffed shaking his head.

The door hotel room door opened causing the three of them to turn seeing Crowley enter the room. He was holding a brown paper bag as he looked at the trio confused.

"What are you three doing here?"

He questioned shutting the door behind him.

"We're here because... because Nikki is concerned for you, Crowley."

Sam spoke up. Judy crossed her arms over her chest while Dean just stood there with a pissed off expression. Crowley's eyes darted around the room.

"What is this an intervention?"

"You can call it whatever you want, but when you upset my sister, you better know that I'm not going to just stand around and do nothing!"

Just snapped. Crowley's eyes widened. The three noticed his eyes dart around the room in a hurry looking for something.

"Where is she?"

This threw them off hearing the sudden panic type of tone in his voice.

"I'm right here."

They watched as Crowley's body suddenly relaxed hearing her voice. He turned watching her walking out of the bathroom with a bag over her shoulder and changed into her every day type of dark clothing.

"Mind explaing why they're here?"

Crowley questioned as Nikki came forward. She noticed the bag before she ripped it out of his hands. He reached for it again, but she stepped back while pulling the blood bag out holding it in her hands. Suddenly her face changed to complete anger.

"This is why they're here! This right fucking here, Crowley! You need help! And they're going to help you!"

She yelled throwing the bag across the room watching it hit the wall. The boys and Judy watched as Nikki and Crowley stood there arguing like an old married couple.

"You didn't have to call them!"

"Yes I did!"

"They did this to me!"

"And now they're gonna help to undo it!"

Nikki stepped forward grabbing his jacket laples and pulling him toward her.

"I can't stand to see you like this! It's fucking killing me, Crowley! You need help! They can help you get clean, destory Abaddon, and take back your throne! Please, Crowley, please I'm begging you accept their help!"

Her voice cracked every so often. She was trying to keep her emotions in tack but she just couldn't anymore. Her nerves were shot all to hell. Seeing Crowley the way he was may have very well been killing her.

"Crowley -- let us help you."

Sam said speaking up after seeing his friend break down over the events of the last few weeks.

"If not for you, then for Nikki."

Judy said knowing that Crowley and her had something. Judy didn't know what, if it was a contract deal or if the two of them actually cared for one another, but she figured that making Crowley understand that he wasn't just hurting himself, but Nikki as well, then maybe that would get him to agree.

Crowley's voice cracked as his hands came out and took her body pulling it into him holding Nikki close. Dean glanced away unable to watch the demon king embrace the woman.

"I'm sorry, love. I never meant to hurt you. I'll get better. I'll do this for you. I promise. I swear to you I'll get better."

He whimpered kissing the top of her head, his hands caressing her back slowly as her body shook whole she silently cried.

The three watching felt as if they had stepped into a movie. None of them could honestly believe this was Crowley. The cold hearted demon king who had been hell bent on killing them all at one point in time was now holding their crying friend and kissing the top of her head.

Telling her that he never meant to hurt her. Telling her that he would get better for her. This wasn't the Crowley they had known. This wasn't the king of hell.

And that scared them all.
