"I believe I can be of assistance."

Judy jumped spinning around in the bunker someone appeared right behind her. Eyes widening she went to advance only to be held back by Castiel.

"Gadreel! You son of a bitch!"

Sam kept her back as well knowing that she was ready to kill the angel for what happened to Kevin. Gadreel looked at Judy with a sorrowful look.

"Why are you here!"

Dean snapped preparing to rush the man himself. Sam moved from Judy to grab his brother. Gadreel looked around at the four of them.

"I know that what I have done cannot be forgiven. But I wish to help you atop Metatron."

He explained. Judy pushed and pulled against Castiel, but his girp was strong keeping her at bay.

"Why! Why should we trust you! Of all things!"

Dean spat. Gadreel looked to Dean.

"Because I am the only one who can help you. I am Metatron's second in command. I can get you close to him without raising suspicions."

"And why turn on your boss!"

Dean questioned. Gadreel was silent then. He bit his lower lip before looking back to Dean.

"Because he doesn't care about us angels as much as he has lead us to believe. He is out for himself. He has killed innocent humans, angels, it must stop."

He explained. Judy relaxed a bit against Castiel. Her struggling stopped and she felt Cas allow his hold to loosen a bit.

Things happened far too fast for anyone to even realize what happened until after it happened. Suddenly and almost out of no where Dean had the first blade in his hand and sliced Gadreel across the chest with it.

Cas rushed to his side and held Dean as best he could while Sam was yelling at his brother to drop the blade. Judy's eyes were wide watching as Dean stood there shaking as the blade was gripped in his hand tightly.

"What the fuck is wrong with him?"

She asked Sam as the man had gotten Dean to drop the blade. The older one was like a wild animal. The look in his eyes was terrifying. There was something terribly wrong with him and it was obvious that the boys hadn't told Judy everything there was that she needed to know.

"Where'd he go?"

Castiel questioned as Gadreel had vanished with what little power he had. Judy looked around the room as Dean shoved Sam and Castiel away from him. In a huff Dean stormed off, leaving the three of them.

"We have to find him before he dies. Gadreel could be the only one to help us with Metatron."

Castiel spoke quickly. Sam nodded, agreeing that Castiel was right.

"I'm coming with."

Judy said following after the two, leaving Dean to do whatever it was he was going to do.

It didn't take the trio long to find Gadreel. He was under a tree not far from the bunker bleeding out. Judy watched as Castiel knelled down beside the other angel.

"No, don't -- "

Gadreel said trying to keep Castiel's hand away from his wound. But of course the stubborn angel didn't listen and begun to heal Gadreel of his wound. Judy watched as Cas sighed closing his eyes trying to stable himself.

Something was wrong.

"You can't keep using your powers."

Gadreel said glancing from Cas to Judy. Cas shook his head.

"If we're to stop Metatron then we'll need you alive. I'll be fine."

Helping Gadreel up from the ground the angel turned and looked at Judy. He seemed unsure, hell they both did, as they looked at one another.

"We need to know your plans."

Sam said sensing the unease in the air. Gadreel nodded looking to Sam.

Crowley groaned as he had all his kinks rubbed out of his shoulders. Nikki sat in the corner smiling to herself as she was going through her phone. Her eyes flickered up to Crowley seeing him in such a relaxed state made her happy.

'Enjoying yourself?'

His eyes opened to see her smiling warmly toward him. Crowley chuckled.

'Not jealous of this one?'

She knew what he meant. Nikki had always been jealous and insecure when it came to attractive women being around Crowley. But she noticed that since becoming a demon all of those worries had faded completely.

'No need.'

This drew a smile to his lips.

"It feels like you carry the weight of the crown on your shoulders."

The demon said rubbing his kinks out. Crowley closed his eyes again and moaned feeling her hands moving to draw the tense muscles out.

"You sure it's not the hours of intense sexual activities?"

Nikki's sarcastic and yet flirtatious tone filled the room. The woman looked at her as if she had two heads more or less trying to figure out why Crowley would be even remotely interested in someone with her body type.

"Um..."

She said trying to muster up a grin, but failing miserably. Crowley glanced at the woman over his shoulder seeing her expression.

"Your Queen asked you a question."

He reminded. The demon looked down at him unsettled and shook her head quickly.

"My apologies, sire. I was thrown off by the... question. But, perhaps, that could be the reason... as well."

'You're horrible.'

Nikki chuckled in her head as the grin stretched across her lips.

'You love it.'

'I do.'

Crowley relaxed noticeably upon her thoughts. Their gaze locked in a longing connection. Though she was a demon, and a fresh one at that, she didn't feel much different aside from the emotional feelings she use to have.

Love was something she believed she missed.

But she knew deep, deep down that she still had those little odd admirations for Crowley that she always had.

Suddenly the room began to shake.

"Uh, sir, I believe a certain Winchester is summoning you."

The demon said as she pulled away from Crowley. He sighed knowing that he wasn't going to be able to have a bloody minute to himself after this.

"Nikki?"

"Hello Dean. Good to see you."

She greeted standing beside Crowley. Looking down she noticed they were both standing in the trap.

"Well, this is awkward isn't it?"

Joking she laughed leaning against Crowley a little bit not caring what Dean thought.

"Now you know how I feel, Kitten. So, what can I do for you Dean?"

"I want you to help me get Metatron."

He explained. Though his eyes were locked with Nikki, Dean spoke to Crowley.

"Revenge upon Kevin?"

She questioned. Dean didn't say much of anything as he just looked at her. Blinking slowly Nikki unwrapped her arm from around Crowley and walked to the edge of the devil's trap. She could have touched him if she were to just be allowed to reach out of the circle.

"We all know how revenge ends, Dean. How it always ends."

"That Bastard has it coming to him."

He snapped. Closing her eyes she sighed deeply. There was no point in talking to Dean when he was like this. She had to let it go.

"So you want my help. Fine. But I'll be wanting something in return."

Crowley's smug little grin slipped across his face as he looked at Dean Winchester, knowing the man would agree if it meant getting Metatron.

Since Dean had become a demon things had gotten out of hand. He wouldn't shut up when it came to singing horrible songs. Bar hopping was getting old. He was sticking his dick in damn near anything that moved.

And not to mention he even tried it on Nikki.

Has she actually said something to Crowley she knew shit would have hit the fan. But she noticed her King was having difficulties as if already was so the last thing she wanted was to cause more of a mess.

"If we're able to do this I believe we'll raise our soul collecting by a staggering 0.003%!"

The minion said with such enthusiasm that it nearly killed Nikki to sit there and listen. Her lips twitched looking from Crowley to the demon.

"Kill me."

Crowley begged. She grinned leaning over beside him and partying his back. Crowley gave an exhausted gaze toward her, seeing her smile as she turned and looked at the minion.

"Eric, listen, what you've brought to the table -- well, it's a good shot, but it's not a big enough gain."

She explained causing the minion to frown. But before he could actually say anything Nikki rose from the table.

"You see, 4% is what I'm seeing if we -- "

Picking up a pen Nikki marked out some steps and added a few new ones. Crowley watched closely, as well as the other two minions who stood not far from them. Eric watched with wide eyes as Nikki turned a paper over and finished writing up the details.

"Now. There. Soul dealing will be up 4% and - of course - you'll be credited to the 0.003% assistance."

She said with a warm smile. Eric grinned taking back the papers looking enthusiastically. Crowley narrowed his eyes toward the young meat suit wearing demon.

"You're dismissed."

He growled causing Eric to look at Crowley and seeing the near venomous gaze in his sight.

"Y-yes sir."

And he vanished just like that. Nikki sat back down in her chair with a smug little look on her face while playing with her hair. Crowley gave her one of his looks which usually meant he was a little more than happy in the downstairs department.

'The things I could do to you right now, love.'

That caught her attention having her turn her head with a smile upon her lips.

'Why not just go ahead and do them?'

She pushed back. Crowley's eyes gazed over her body. She could see the temptation that he had with her little push into getting him to take her here in the middle of the bar in front of his lackeys.

"You're disgusting."

"Ah, says the man who fucks anything that looks his way."

Nikki rolled her eyes as she replied turning and looking at Dean who just came in through the door. The way Crowley and Nikki had been looking at one another was enough to make him puke up his guts.

"Ain't had you yet."

"And you ain't gonna ever, Winchester."

She spat back against his little wink. He grinned, but that fell quickly when Crowley cleared his throat causing Dean to look his way.

"You done?"

The annoyed tone of the King filled the empty bar. Dean just scoffed and shrugged.

"Yeah. Dude's dead. Jobs done."

There was a long pause between the two of them as Crowley arched a brow and his booming voice filled the silence.

"The client? You KILLED the CLIENT!?"

"Well yeah he was kinda a douche bag."

"I don't care! You don't do the deal, I don't get the soul! That's how this works!"

Crowley rose from the chair in anger. He walked around and went to get into Dean's face and it was only seconds till Crowley was shoved to the ground.

"Back off -- "

"You don't talk to him like that!"

Nikki snapped shoving Dean back. His eyes flashed black as he smirked. Her eyes narrowed as Crowley came up off the ground after being pushed.

"Nikki, stop."

She shook her head an angel blade suddenly being produced from thin air into her hand. Crowley's eyes darted down to the weapon in her hand. His body tensed as he seen Dean's smirk grow.

"You really wanna do this Nikki? After everything we've been through?"

Dean questioned. He laughed a little nodding his head.

"Okay. Hit me with your best shot. First hit is a freebie. But after that I'm -- "

"Oh just shut the fuck up Dean!"

She snapped rolling her head about her shoulders. The two lower level demons stood off to the side watching along with Crowley. Dean's brow arched amused that she would speak to him like that.

"You think you're some big and bad hot shot demon. You're not. You're so highly hated in Hell that I'm surprised rouge demons haven't ripped your balls off yet."

He whistled which had him receive a glare.

"Apologize. Now."

"Nope."

Dean said smirking as the p popped from his lips. Biting her lower lip her own eyes flashed black for a second before changing back to normal.

"He's done nothing but help you and you're gonna treat him like that? You're pathetic Dean Winchester."

"And you're only good when on your back and legs open. What's your point?"

"Hey! Don't you bloody dare speak to her that way!"

Crowley snapped walking quickly in front of Dean. He was almost touching noses with Dean at this point.

"We're through. You hear me, we're through. You don't dare speak to her like that ever! You also don't seem to know what it is you want. Demon or human you can't be both. Pick a bloody side!"

Dean was quiet for a moment as his eye were cast to the group. He snorted before looking over at her from over Crowley's shoulder. His arms came out a bit.

"You could have had this sweetheart. But you chose that instead."

She narrowed her eyes.

"Don't pretend you ever found any interest in someone with my body type jerk wad."

"Bitch."

Dean smirked but left the bar regardless. Crowley watched until Dean was completely out of sight before he turned to check on Nikki. Before he could even open his mouth he was grabbed by the labels of his suit and pulled into her lips for a smashing kiss.

His eyes closed as his anger slowly started to fade.

'Are you okay?'

Her question echoed in his head.

'I should be asking you that.'

He replied as he pulled away from her kiss. He loved how soft her hands were as they ran through his scruffle. Her lips came up and touched his softly soothing his anger almost instantly.

"Uh, sire?"

Crowley groaned pulling away from Nikki and glaring at his subject with what looked like an intent to carve his guts out.

"What!? Can't you see I'm busy!"

"Yes, sir, sorry sir. But, what are we doing now?"

"Dean Winchester is a loose cannon. A dog that cannot be tamed. I have no further use for him. And I have the perfect plan on what to do."

Crowley said tapping his fingers against Nikki's waist causing her to smile.

"You called them then?"

Nikki questioned looking at Crowley. He had just finished up his phone call with Sam informing him where his brother was hanging about. Crowley gave a knowing nod and approached her.

"Yes. Samantha will be collecting our problem soon."

His hands came around her waist. She didn't smile however.

"Would you do the same to me?"

Crowley arched a brow.

"Would you sell me out to my sister if I didn't do what you told me?"

"Darling, if you didn't do what I'd tell you, you'd simply go over daddy's knee."

He said swooping in for a hot kiss. She groaned grabbing hold of his suit and pulling him in closer to her. Crowley's lackeys didn't know where to look as their King became a little too friendly with their apparent new Queen right before their eyes.

"Si -- "

The lackey tried to speak but with a quick flash of the black and terrifying eyes from their Queen, he shut his mouth and allowed for their two rulers to face suck one another as much as they pleased.

Judy had decided to tag along with Sam since Castiel was, once again, off playing the stupid hero card with another angel. She was honestly so mad at him right now. Between Metatron and losing Gadreel - she still hated him, but he saved Castiel - and now Castiel going AWOL with another angel and Dean apparently being a demon... She was stressed to high heaven.

And not to mention that apparently Nikki was lurking around with Crowley of all things.

Judy climbed up out of the car the moment she seen Sam walking Dean toward the car in cuffs. What she didn't expect to see, however, was Nikki there was well beside Crowley.

"Got him?"

She asked looking at Sam. He nodded. He was beaten and seemed tired, but he had Dean cuffed and ready to be taken back to the bunker.

"Hello to you too chipmunk."

Crowley greeted. Judy looked at him with intent to kill. Arching a brow he glanced from the smaller girl to the girl whom he had his arm around her waist.

"Judy."

Nikki greeted as Dean was put into the car by Sam. Judy turned to fully face her cousin. She felt a wave of relief wash over her once she laid eyes on the woman who had been missing for a month.

"What the hell are you doing?"

She questioned walking over toward her cousin. Sam grabbed her shoulder stopping her in her tracks. Judy glanced over her shoulder at Sam seeing he was giving her a look of caution. Turning back Judy looked at Nikki and Crowley.

"She's with me obviously."

Crowley stated as he pulled the woman more into his side. Judy's eyes narrowed. She didn't like Crowley she never liked him even from the first moment they had met. It was obvious that she hated the demon, but seeing someone she loved and cared about with him only made matters worse.

"Now, the blade."

Crowley spoke up having allowed the silence to linger on long enough. Judy arched a brow watching as Sam pulled the First Blade out of the back of his pants where he had kept it away from Dean.

"I'll take it. Keep it safe. If it's with him nobody is safe."

Crowley said holding his hand out waiting for Sam to put the blade in his hand. Judy looked to Sam shaking her head. She didn't trust Crowley.

"Come on Sammy. I'll make sure he keeps his word."

Nikki said her eyes flashing black for a split second, but it was a second long enough for Judy to catch site of it.

"She -- She's a fucking demon!?"

Judy screamed looking between Sam and Crowley. She was more than ready to kill Crowley. Reaching for her own angel blade she was stunned when Nikki grabbed her wrist.

"Hey!"

Sam shouted.

"Easy."

She replied looking from Sam to Judy. The younger of the two seemed to be on the brink of tears but weather that was from anger or sadness Nikki didn't know.

"I died helping with Abaddon. Crowley brought me back in the only way possible. If it wasn't for him, I'd still be dead."

"That's suppose to make me feel better! The fact that Abaddon is dead but you're a demon! Why did nobody tell me!?"

Judy said feeling scared of her own cousin for the first time in her entire life. She hasn't felt this terrified of something since one of her father's anger spell.

"I'm still me oddly enough. I mean, I'm a bigger shit then before, but emotional -- I feel the best I've felt in a long time."

"You're a demon! How can you say that!? Demons can't love -- they don't feel emotions -- "

"Precisely. For the first time in forever I'm free."

She shrugged letting go of Judy's wrist once she was sure she wasn't going to stab her with the blade. Crowley shuffled forward, his eyes trained on Judy ready to act if need be.

"Darling, we ready to go?"

Crowley questioned from behind. Nikki stood there for a moment before nodding. She was prepared to turn away from Judy but things went very bad very fast.

Judy in a quickness took her bagel blade and attacked Nikki. The taller woman dodged the attack to her face just barely and Crowley used his powers to send Judy flying into Sam. With a grunt Sam caught Judy just barely but went tumbling backwards onto the ground.

When the two looked up Crowley and Nikki had vanished.

"What was that!?"

Sam spat angry and confused with why Judy had attacked. As they both climbed to their feet Judy held the aides of her head in panic.

"My cousin is a demon! We can't let her stay one!"

"So you're gonna kill her!?"

"No! We need to catch her! Catch her and make her human again like with Dean!"

She said pointing toward Dean. The man was just watching them from the car. Sam turned and looked at his brother before looking at Judy.

"He'll never give her up."

"I'll find a way."

She spat before turning her attention to the Impala.

Getting Dean back to the bunker was a task in itself. Judy and Sam stood there as they started up trying to turn Dean human again. But of course demon Dean was a huge dick.

"Has Sammy tapped your ass yet? Is that why you're here and not chasing angel boy?"

Judy's eyes widened looking from Dean to Sam. Sam's nostrils flared as he turned away from Judy. Arching a brow she looked between the two of them. Dean rolled his eyes.

"Seriously? You never noticed the puppy dog eyes he gives you? Oh this is precious!"

"Shut up!"

Sam snapped taking hold of Judy's arm and pulling her from the room.

"He's gonna say stuff to try and get us upset. We have to ignore him."

Judy said looking up at Sam. She had noticed the small change in his behavior that maybe made her believe that demon Dean was right about Sam.

"Yeah I know..."

Sam said nodding. Looking down at her, he looked as if he wanted to say something but instead changed his mind and returned to the room.

After several more hours of blood injections Sam and Judy both were beginning to become worried that the injections weren't actually turning Dean Human, but we're actually killing him.

Sam decided to call Castiel and see if the angel knew anything about what could be going wrong. Of course Castiel agreed that they could actually be killing Dean, but in all honesty it would be better than allowing Dean to stay human. Just the thought of keeping Dean alive but as a demon shook them to their very core, but Castiel was right. They couldn't allow for Dean to be a demon and if killing him was the only way then that's what they had to do.

But as luck would have it Dean had other plans for them. Apparently the more blood that Sam had injected into Dean to make him human the less the protection Circle and the handcuffs worked against him. And now Sam and Judy were both screwing around the locks down bunker trying to run from Dean who was attempting to kill them with a fire axe.

Sam and Judy both scrambled around locking doors only to have Dean bust through them with the ax. It wasn't long before Dean had tracked them down in the lower half of the bunker watching them struggle to try to take him down was amusing for himself. Dean had taken the fire axe and had smashed Judy over the back of the head with a side of it causing her to passed out cold. Dean only smiled as he circled around Sam pointing the axe down at him.

"I'm gonna kill her first and make you watch. She might not realize it, but you're so head over heels with her it's fucking sickening man."

Dean told Sam. Sam held out his good arm, for his other was still in the sling, and begged for Dean to just leave her out of the whole thing.

"Nah man. I'm gonna kill her, then kill you and then I'm gonna go after Nikki and kill -- no, I'm gonna fuck her and make Crowley watch then I'm gonna kill her too right in front of the King of douche."

Dean said with a creepy smile. He seemed way too enthusiastic about his plan to murder everybody. This dark side of him was definitely strong and twisted. Moving the fire axe from his opposite hand Dean made a motion as if he was lining up the ax with Judy neck.

Of course with the young woman being knocked out she couldn't fight back, and Sam was nearly helpless to stop Dean. Smirking over his brother, Dean lifted the axe above his head ready to bring it down straight into Judy neck ready to decapitate her.

Sam yelled out and right as Dean was dropping the axe down to her neck the axe went flying from his grip and his body hit the ground hard.

Castiel had taken a baseball bat and whacked Dean across the side of the head rendering him cold after he had kicked the axe from the man's hands. In a hurry Castiel shuffled down and pressed his fingers to Judy's forehead. Sam watched shocked as he managed to heal the woman.

"What? You're grace I thought -- "

"A gift from Nikki and Crowley."

He explained to Sam quickly. Though the man was still confused he climbed up from the floor looking at his brother and then Judy. The woman opened her eyes seeing Castiel kneeling by her side and couldn't help but smile a small smile.

With Castiel's help they managed to turn being back to being a human. Now that that was settled Judy had her own mission to accomplish. Waiting until the dead of night she Drew a devil's trap out in the middle of the Woods not far from the bunker. She was going to get her cousin back one way or another even if it meant having to kill Crowley in the process. She didn't know what gave them demon was playing, but she was done dancing to his tune.

The moment Crowley had been summoned he noticed he was trapped in his little Devil's trap. But he had come alone, which wasn't what Judy had planned.

"Nice night for a chat."

Crowley said gazing up into the cloudless night sky.

"Where's Nikki?"

The demanding tone of the much shorter woman caused Crowley to chuckle.

"She's running Hell. She's Queen now you know. And she's rather good at the whole thing."

His smug little smile made Judy wanna punch it clear off his face. In the middle of the woods not far from the bunker might not have been the best place to do this, but she didn't have much of a choice left.

"You're gonna give her back to us and we're gonna fix her like how Sam fixed Dean."

Judy's words caused Crowley to look at her as if he could split her in two.

"No."

He stated. Judy's eyes narrowed.

"Fine. I'll kill you then do it anyway."

She spat lifting her demon blade by her side.

"I warned you to break the deal with her -- I warned you!"

Snapping it was clear that she was overly emotional about the whole ordeal. Crowley, with his hands in his pockets, continued to glare.

"She didn't want the deal broken. She wants to be by my side. She wants me! Not the Winchesters, not your angel boy, not you, me! And I'm sorry but if that makes you understand how it feels to be left out, just like how you all made her feel then so be it!"

He shouted in the middle of the woods. A smug smile coming to his face again.

"Least now you know how she's felt all her damned life up until me."

Crowley made sure to put the emphasis on 'me' as his voice raised heatedly with each word spoken.

"She's a demon! She wants everything! And we need her human again!"

Done trying to get her point across Judy turned to the bag she had on the ground beside her. Pulling out her gun which held the demon bullets that would render Crowley unable to move she turned the safety off and aimed it toward him.

"You're making the biggest mistake of your life, Judy. Remember that."

Crowley knew there was no way out of this, not from the look in her eyes at least.

"Just stop."

The bored sounding tone was enough to cause Judy's heart to break in two. Turning around quickly she seen Nikki standing there from behind her. She didn't know how long the older woman had been there, but it must not have been for very long because even Crowley was surprised to see her.

"Fine. I'll go with you, just do whatever it is you're gonna do with me and let him go."

She said having her hands in her pockets while looking at Crowley. Shaking his head Crowley moved toward the very edge of the devil's trap.

"Don't do this. What you have makes you eternal. We can be together for all eternity!"

Her eyes flashed toward Crowley's and she showed him a soft, sad smile.

"Oh Crowley. Let's face it, what's the point of being together for eternity if I can't feel a God damn thing?"

She said with a shrug.

"She's right you know. I know that the human part of me loved you deeply, but this new part -- It's hard to even try to figure out how to feel about you now."

Crowley's face dropped more. It hurt him, but he knew she was right. There was something there between them before but now, things were completely different. There was a small part of him that would be lying if he didn't say he'd missed her humanity.

"You can learn."

He pushed causing Nikki to smile sadly as she walked over to the circle. Judy watched as she kicked the dirt around and freed Crowley.

"I'll see you later Crowley."

She said softly before touching Judy's shoulder and the two of them vanishing.

The boys didn't expect Judy to be walking inside with Nikki. They didn't expect the woman to come so calmly with her.

"You okay?"

Sam asked Judy pulling her off to the side. Judy shook her head.

"She's only here because of Crowley. I had him trapped and she came to free him."

She explained watching as Dean took the handcuffed demon woman by the shoulder and walked her down toward the basement. Judy watched as Dean lead her away before turning back to Sam. Sam placed his hands firmly on either of her shoulders.

"We'll get her back just like we did with Dean."

He promised. Judy felt her cheeks warm. This whole situation between Sam and Cas was getting to her. She liked Sam, but not in the manner she believed he liked her.

"Yeah. Well, let's get to work I guess."

She said knowing that the sooner she was able to get Nikki back to her old human self the less she had to spend lying to the woman's mother, who had been messaging her since her daughter had lost her phone at home months ago.

After Nikki had become tied to the chair in the same place they had kept Crowley and Dean it didn't take too long before she was trying to escape.

"I don't want to be human again!"

She snapped feeling the human blood feeling hot in her veins. She gasped crying out. Is this how Crowley felt? The pain that it first brought before it cooled down and calmed her. Sam, Castiel, Judy and Dean all watched.

"Being demon -- I don't have depression. I don't have anxiety. I don't have the want to die every waking moment of my life! I'm freed! I'm still me, I'm still myself but I'm free of my own demons by being one!"

She pleaded feeling her head growing heavier. Her eyes slowly started to close. Fading into an abyss all of her own demise. Once she seemed out cold the boys turned and looked to Judy. The young woman's face was white but held red blotches on her cheeks and nose.

She was trying to hold it together but was finding it hard to do so.

"You said it yourself! You want feelings back for Crowley -- "

Judy noticed the boys's faces scrunch up at the thought of Nikki having feelings for Crowley, but staid silent as the blood worked it's way through her body.

"And you can't do that if you're a demon!"

She reminded. Nikki was crying at this point. Her body was feeling all different types of things that she shouldn't have been feeling and the whole time sucked.

"Fuck! My body feels like it's being ripped in two!"

She screamed shaking about in the chair trying to get free. Castiel watched with sad eyes as his friend struggled against her restraints.

"I could put her to sleep through the process if she wasn't within the circle."

He said hating to see her like this. Sam looked at Castiel and nodded.

"We can't remove her. She had to stay. It's for everyone's safety."

Castiel looked back to the woman that was now laughing.

"Safety my ass! You don't give a shit about me! You never have! None of you have! I'm just a fucking burden to you all and you're probably just wishing I'd die through this!"

Judy watched as Dean gritted his teeth together.

"We care about you! Or else we wouldn't be doing this!"

He shouted not understanding where this bullshit was coming from so suddenly.

"Nikki... is that why you made your deal with Crowley? Because that's how you see this?"

Sam asked cautiously. Nodding her head as she could only cry more she suddenly stopped as if someone had just flicked a light switch. Sitting there fairly calmly now the boy's all watched her. Sighing she closed her eyes and seemed to be trying to take a nap now.

What in the fuck was happening?

Hours passed by after that and the they all returned to the upper part of the bunker to allow time for the blood to do its job.

Opening her eyes Nikki felt drained. Completely drained. It was almost like she was dying. Looking around the room slowly she noticed that she was alone. Looking down at the hand cuffs she touched them with her fingers. Her body was heavy but the urge to stand up and lay down was too much.

So she did just that. Slipping up and out of her chair she moved to lay down on the floor. The cold concrete cooking her burning skin. She didn't bother to move much after she heard the basement door open and then close again. She didn't even think about moving when she heard someone stop right before the circle.

"Hey?"

Opening her eyes slowly she saw Dean standing there.

"Hey yourself."

Her throat dry and horse. She tried to clear it having only a cough slip through her lips.

"How you feelin?"

She could tell by the tone of his voice Dean was worried. Closing her eyes back she kept her cheek presses to the floor.

"I think I'm finally dying... So that's good."

Dean shared with her a sad smile. Walking to the edge of the trap he kneeled down and looked at her more closely.

"Think you're human again?"

It sounded more like a statement than a question, but she knew that Dean was mostly asking himself. Closing her eyes again she coughed a little.

"Pretty sad right now, so I'd say it worked."

Her reply caused Dean to stand and walk into the circle. He dropped to his knees where he could unlock her cuffs. Taking them off he reached for her and brought her into a hug.

"I'm so sorry. For everything."

He whispered. Arching a brow Nikki was too tired to even try and comprehend what he was talking about.

"I'm sorry that we make you feel unloved and not part of the team."

Oh that bit, yeah.

"We care about you so much. I'm sorry we don't show it enough. I'm sorry you had to go to Crowley because we're idiots. I'm -- "

"Thanks Deano."

She grumbled tiredly into his shoulder. She felt him chuckle. Pulling back he looked down at her exhausted expression.

"Come on, kid. Let's get you to bed."

"And a burger?"
