Nikki hummed to herself as she sat beside Crowley. The demon king was holding a meeting in the throne room with his advisors -- and his mother all present.

Crowley turned his gaze toward the girl who sat beside him. A smirk tugged to his lips.

"That's a charming little tune."

She stopped almost instantly and couldn't help but chuckle.

"I didn't even notice I was doing it till you said something. Sorry."

"Don't be sorry, love. Nothing to be sorry about."

He said as his hand came out and grabbed a strand of her hair and placing it securely behind her ear. She smiled at him having him return the same.

A throat cleared causing Crowley to look down with annoyance at his mother.

"What?"

He asked as his hand fell from her face back onto the arm of his chair. Rowena leaned forward a tad bit while all the demons watched her carefully.

"Oh nothing."

She said before leaning back. Nikki arched a brow looking at the witch, who was apparently Crowley's mother, making a spectral of herself.

"But -- if it were something I'd say tha such displays o' affection would show a sign of a wee bit of weakness."

There was a dead silence in the room before she leaned back forward again and peered over at Crowley.

"But tha's jus me, darlin'."

She ended it with a broad smile. Crowley and Nikki were both left frowning at her answer. Turning her head slowly Nikki looked at Crowley.

"Perhaps I should fuck you on the throne?"

Crowley turned his head slowly and looked at her as if she were mad. As did the rest of the room.

"After all if a display of affection can be shown as a weakness, then maybe raw and violent sex would speak differently to some?"

Crowley went to open his mouth, but for the first time with her, he found that all words seemed to escape him so he closed his mouth.

He turned and looked back at his mother and seen that the woman slowly slid back into her chair silent along with the other demons that refused to make eye contact with him.

Narrowing his eyes he looked back at the woman beside him. He quickly caught onto her game. She wasn't saying that they should, but simply that --

'It's just a show of dominance. Your mom needs to learn her place.'

Crowley's lips twitched upward enjoying the notion in which Nikki had offered up.

"Perhaps later, kitten. But as of now we have to figure out what's happened to that sparkling little soul of yours."

Rolling her eyes she shrugged.

"Rain check then?"

She agreed as she sat there beside Crowley as demon after demon came into the room with a report on what they figured out when it came to her soul.

"Disappearances?"

Judy questioned looking at the computer screen. Laura frowned over hearing Judy and Sam.

"Shouldn't you be focused on getting my daughter's soul back?"

"Well, we're waiting on Crowley -- "

Sam tried to explain only to have the older woman scoff.

"Waiting on a demon for help. I don't care if he has feelings for her or not it's been days!"

"Time runs differently there. Their days are only minutes here. So -- "

"So he should have found it by now! He's had far more time than we have! If he was going to be able to find it he would have -- "

"I don't like it anymore than you do but we have to have some faith in him. Whenever it's came to her, he's done things that I never would have imagined he would have done."

Sam explained.

"If we can't work on her then we're going to help Dean."

"Help Dean?"

Laura questioned looking between the two. She had been in the library reading up on some spells and magic that she didn't have access to at home or anywhere she could buy them.

Sam and Judy looked at her slowly after looking at each other.

"Didn't you tell her about..."

Sam questioned but faded off from his question. Judy shook her head she had neglected to leave the whole part about the Mark of Cain out of it not wanting to make the situation any worse.

"Tell me about what, Judy?"

Laura snapped obviously already irritated.

"Dean's been going through some stuff... that's all. We're having to look for someone that can help."

Laura frowned but seemed to leave it alone. If it didn't concern her daughter then she wasn't willing to open that can of worms.

"I guess we'll be here working on looking into it then."

Laura said with a shake of her head. Judy and Sam both relaxed a little over the fact that Laura didn't try and push any answers from them.

"Anyway -- dissappearences?"

Days passed and Sam, Dean, and Judy went working cases as usual. It was until it came to the point when they had found Cain on a surveillance camera out of jail on the computer system having caught him in the hallway right before a prisoner disappeared.

Judy of course didn't play the role of the FBI. She and Nikki never did call into that line when it came to work. She instead decided to wait at the motel room.

She had been waiting there thinking about everything that occurred. Her father had given her a talk before she had left to go with the Winchesters nearly forbidding her from going, but with some quick thinking from Sam, he allowed it.

Now her mind was on her family that had been left behind at the bunker. With all the crazy shit that had been going on things were getting weird -- and that was saying something.

Now she had to wait to figure out from the boys what the next move was and when they were going to go after Cain.

Apparently a lot had happened since she had left Kansas and went back to Indiana. But she had been filled in once she had gotten back. Now with Cain thrown into the mix it was just weird.

Never the less, Judy was doing her best to try and hang in there for the team.

And for her sister.
