Judy looked at Nikki with a clearly clenched jaw as the two stood alone together in Judy’s room. She was pacing back and forth quietly angry with the older woman. Nikki stood there scared out of her mind. She had admitted to how Crowley had used a little spell that he knew in order to get into her mind so that the two would always be able to communicate with one another.

“Spells contain ingredients! How did he do a spell without that that since he’s been locked up!”

Judy yelled throwing her hands about angry with the fact that Nikki had agreed to this deal. She was more hurt than anything if she were honest. For Nikki to feel as if she were alone in this whole place. Feeling like Dean, Sam, Castiel even Kevin didn’t consider her family or care for her to the point where she made a deal with Crowley to become friends with the King of Hell. Running her fingers through her hair, Judy groaned trying to keep herself together and not completely rip her elder cousin a new one.

“I – I dunno how he did it.”

Nikki spoke softly trying to be careful to not angry the shorter woman anymore than she already was with her now. The last thing she needed was for Judy to go running to Dean or Sam and then all hell would – literally – break loose.

“You never asked! Out of all the time you spent talking with him you never asked how he did it!”

“He’s a demon! I figured it was just something he could do because he’s the King of Hell!”

“For fucks sake!”

Judy shouted feeling as if she needed to rip something apart or punch something in the face. She lowered her hands out of her hair and sighed deeply trying to calm herself. She was on the verge of crying. Nikki wasn’t stupid, but sometimes the choices she made were highly questionable.

“So what’s this thing he wants you to do for him?”

“I – I dunno that either...”

The room fell silent and Judy looked nearly murderous. Nikki swallowed and took a few steps back toward the door. She didn’t know what she was going to do if Judy just exploded with her. She had seen the younger woman’s anger erupt more than once and she never wanted to be on the receiving end of it – ever.

“I’m just gonna – go.”

Nikki said opening the door behind her slowly before slipping out. She closed the door just in time to hear something hit it hard causing her to jump and scurry down the hallway.

‘I’m in so much deep shit because of this!’

She thought to Crowley as she scuttled to her room. She didn’t hear anything at first as she hurried through the halls heading as quick as possible to her room. Still, Crowley did not answer.

‘Crowley? You there?’

She called out her feet slowly coming to a halt as she called again to him in her head. Her whole body tensed up as he didn’t answer her. She stopped not too far from her room and turned around heading in the direction of the basement. Kevin was sitting in the library and watched as Nikki quickly shuffled past him toward the door to the room where Crowley was kept.

He called out to her, but she didn’t stop her feet. She hurried even faster when she heard Dean behind the door of the basement. Flinging it open she seen Dean whip around with his arms falling to his sides looking at her as she came inside. Crowley arched a brow seeing the distressed looking woman enter the room.

“You need to stay away from him!”

Dean said his voice raised and an accusing finger aimed at her. She faltered for a moment before narrowing her eyes at him. She was getting really tired of Dean Winchester telling her what she was and wasn’t suppose to do. She got closer to Dean looking him square in the eyes causing his finger to bump her chest with how close she came to him.

“I said it once and I’ll say it again, Dean. You’re not my Daddy.”

Her tone was low as she had finally taken all the shit she could from Dean. She was tired of him thinking that he had any hold over her all because of their past history together. She wasn’t his to control and he needed to accept that. He needed to accept the fact that everything that they had been through together did not give him the right to boss her around and be all commanding when it came to her.

Dean’s eyes narrowed as he looked at her. This was a stand off that Crowley hadn’t ever expected to see. He found it rather amusing, but hearing what she was thinking his amusement quickly dissipated.

“Of course Dean’s not Daddy. That’s my title, kitten.”

Both of them turned so quickly to look at Crowley that he found that more amusing than their little stand off. Dean opened his mouth barking.

“Shut the hell up Crowley!”

“What? You know I’m right.”

He chuckled making Dean go to advance. Nikki watched as he marched around the table and punched Crowley clean across the jaw. She flinched watching Crowley’s head fall back as he groaned sitting his head back up only for Dean to punch him again.

“Dean! God damn it stop!”

Nikki yelled seeing the small line of blood that was falling from Crowley’s busted lip. Dean sent a glare her way. His chest heaving as he looked to her.

“You think it’s okay for you to be around him!”

“I’m only around him to get information! You can ask Judy! That and I’m around him now to keep you from killing the only thing that stands between us and these stupid demons that you’re always needing names and information about!”

Nikki yelled pointing toward Crowley, motioning her entire hand toward him. She was angry, it was clear, but losing her shit over Crowley getting punched wasn’t something normal that would happen – so she had to play it off as mostly being pissed at Dean; which wasn’t hard to say the least.

He came forward standing not far from Nikki. She could tell that he wasn’t having any of this. Something was horribly wrong. She narrowed her eyes arching a brow.

“What the hell has gotten into you...”

She asked under her breath looking at Dean. Dean just looked at her, his bottom lip moving a tad bit before looking away. He turned back and looked at Crowley, seeing the demon king sitting there exchanging glances between him and her. Dean lowered his gaze before shaking his head.

“Nothing. Just – just listen to me for once okay?”

He said while his feet lead him out of the room. Nikki felt her whole body go slightly lax seeing Dean shutting the door behind him leaving her and Crowley alone. She turned and looked at the demon bound in the chair.

“Why weren’t you answering me?”

She snapped causing Crowley to point to himself looking at her almost as if he was shocked she’d even ask such a question. He motioned to his face, frowning.

“I was a little busy getting ripped a new one by Squirrel if you hadn’t noticed – “

“I don’t care! I was calling for you, I expected an answer!”

She snapped louder stepping toward the table. Crowley's eyes widened as he looked at her with a slightly confused gaze as if trying to figure out what the hell had gotten into her now. She wasn’t stupid, and rarely did she get mad like this, so it was odd for Crowley to see her acting in this manner.

“Kitten, something is wrong I can tell. Now, I’m not entirely sure, but I’d have to say that you were worried for me – “

She snorted loudly pushing herself away from the table and turning her back to Crowley. The demon king watched as she did this, keeping her emotions hidden from him best she could. His eyes narrowed a little trying to figure her out. He believed himself right, especially with the way she was acting. He shifted in his chair a bit the chairs dangling around his neck only allowing for him to move so much. But he managed to lean forward ever so slightly even if it was to get a tiny bit closer to her.

“I’m right aren’t I? You were concerned for me when I didn’t answer.”

Nikki refused to actually say anything. She could just imagine the smug smirk stretched across Crowley’s lips. The fact that he was right and knew it – wait! Shit!

“So I was right. Interesting.”

He said shifting back into his chair smiling now looking at her back. She turned around looking at Crowley with a glare, crossing her arms over her chest.

“I keep forgetting that you can hear my every thought! Sue me!”

She spat angry. Crowley just chuckled seeming to get comfortable in his chair. Glancing over at the weapons over on the wall, Nikki recalled their night down here. She heard Crowley chuckle drawing her attention back over to him.

“Should we call it a date?”

“Shut up, Crowley.”

She sighed dropping her arms and turning on her heels. Crowley perked up watching her leaving the room. She heard the chains around his wrists jingle as he shifted.

“Hey! Where are you going!”

“Now that I know you’re not dead, I’m leaving.”

“Kitten!”

He called out watching as she went to close the doors to the dungeon and shut the lights out on him. If he was going to be an asshole she could most certainly be one back. She huffed walking back up stairs finding that Dean was there with Kevin. Looking around the room she noticed a lack of Sam.

“Where’s Mo – Sam?”

Nikki said trying to cover up her near mistake of calling Sam Moose. Oh, that would have ended badly for her. Dean looked from Kevin to her a brow raised.

“Dunno, he just went out.”

He said looking back at her. Nikki frowned, since when did Sam ever just go out? He had been acting weird ever since he had returned from that last hunt with Dean. She couldn’t put her finger on it, but something was definitely off with the poor guy.

“Judy!”

Nikki called out, but there was no answer. She frowed, figuring that Judy was still fuming over what had happened between them – or her deaf ass just couldn’t hear her name being called. Dean arched a brow, she could tell that he was still mad with her, but he seemed to have dropped the subject from the basement when he spoke his next words.

“You’ve noticed it too? He’s been acting off?”

Nikki shrugged. They hadn’t been back long at all, but for the amount of time they had been back Sam hadn’t been acting like his usual self.

“Yeah. I mean, he’s quiet, distant almost most of the time. He’s not acting like, well, himself.”

Nikki said shrugging a bit. She noticed Dean’s expression and knew that something was wrong. He gave he a sad and worried look, but he quickly dropped it once he realized she was looking at him. Clearing his throat Dean stood tall, making it more obvious that he was hiding something.

“Yeah, the trails they were rough on him.”

He threw out there which ended up making him even more suspicious. The trials were a while ago and he was bringing them up again? What the hell? Nikki frowned walking back toward Judy’s room. She wasn’t really sure if the woman was still in her mood or what, but something fishy was going on here in the bunker. Getting to Judy’s door she didn’t bother knocking as she went right inside. Judy peaked up from under her covers frowning when she seen Nikki enter her room.

“The fuck you want now?”

She growled obviously still angry with Nikki. But the older ignored that when she came over and started to pull off her blankets. Judy sat up in the bed looking wide eyed at her.

“What – “

“Something’s wrong with Sam! I dunno what it is because Dean isn’t talking, but something is wrong!”

Judy arched a brow looking at Nikki trying to figure out if she was telling the truth or just pulling her leg. But the look that Nikki was giving her right now it was pretty clear that the older wasn’t lying.

“What’s wrong with him?”

“He’s been distant. Like more distant than he should be. And Dean mentioned that the trials messed him up pretty badly, but those trials were so long ago. I’m not sure but I think something happened that he’s not letting on.”

Judy huffed and crossed her legs on the bed looking at Nikki. Her attention was there, but she wasn’t sure if Nikki was right or not.

“Maybe he’s just tired? He’s mentioned more than once he’s been exhausted, like his batters aren’t recharging or whatever.”

“Right, like no matter how much he rests he doesn’t get better. Somethings wrong I know it. I know that Dean knows it too, but he won’t say what’s the matter.”

“Have you asked Crowley?”

Nikki looked at Judy for a moment before shaking her head.

“He’s been locked up in the basement, he wouldn’t know anything.

“He tell you that or you just saying – “

“No, I know. He and I aren’t talking right now. I’m pretty pissed at him.”

Judy just chuckled a bit lulling her head to the side. She had known the demon and her cousin to get along kinda well, much to her displeasure, but there were moments when Crowley and Nikki went at each other’s throats and it was amusing – because no matter how much their fought, neither seemed to actually attempt to really kill one another.

Odd relationship the human and demon had, but she wasn’t one to judge.

“Okay, so Sam is sick?”

“Maybe, Dean did say that he was sick after the trials. Maybe whatever is making him sick is part of the reason why he’s not wanting to hang around?”

They fell into a silence in the room. Each of them trying to think of reasons as to why Sam might still be sick even after the trails. Finally Nikki rubbed her chin and sighed looking down at Judy.

“If I knew how to get a hold of Cas, I would see if he knew… but I guess we can always ask Kevin? Surely there’s something in the table about the trails?”

Judy shrugged not really sure herself.

“It’s something we can at least try. I know Crowley won’t be any help.”

Judy said rolling her eyes thinking that the junky demon king could actually help them. Nikki sighed rubbing her face. Things with the Winchesters were never simple and it had been a long time since she and Judy had actually gotten out of the bunker and had a moment to themselves that didn’t involve demons, angels, or things that were trying to kill them.

“I wonder if mom would know anything – “

“Aunt Laura?”

Judy arched a brow. Nikki nodded. Her mother was a part time witch. Surely she would have heard rumors or something as to why Sam would be feeling so drained after the trails. Then again, did she really want to pull her mother into this mess? She shook her head.

“Never mind. I don’t want to get her involved.”

“That’s probably for the best...”

Judy agreed. She wasn’t even sure what her aunt would be able to do.

“So, let’s ask Kevin?”

Nikki questioned causing Judy to nod. Nikki nodded in return and they left her bedroom together. Judy seemed kind of sluggish as they walked through the halls heading for the library where Nikki had last seen Kevin. It was only when they were halfway there did they hear a bloody and screaming cry which caused for both girls to stop dead in their tracks.

“That sounded like – “

Judy started to say only to hear Dean scream Kevin’s name. Both girls instantly took off running into the library. When they came to a stop they seen Dean being held up against the pillar in the library and Sam turned and looked at both of them. Nikki’s eyes widened seeing Kevin’s legs at the end of the table, his body not moving.

“Demon!?”

Nikki yelled out seeing Sam look at her hurt. It was with the flick of his hand she and Judy had both been sent back flying into the wall behind them. They hit hard, both of them being kept up by the powers, but their heads had hit the wall too hard rendering their minds jumbled for a short moment.

Judy kept her eyes on Sam as he looked at both of them with a sad gaze. Nikki, however, wasn’t fairing well as her head had hit a little too hard against the wall. Her gaze was hazed over as she tried blinking a few times.

‘Crowley… we’re… I’m…’

‘Kitten?’

She heard his voice in her mind but it faded into nothing as her eyes closed. Judy cried out when Nikki’s unconscious body hit the ground. Dean was still by his pillar looking at Kevin, calling his name looking at the young man. Judy, however was by Nikki’s side looking at the knocked out woman. Judy glanced from Nikki over to Kevin, only being able to see his legs – but the smell of burnt flesh spoke volumes.

Kevin was dead.

"What's that over there?"

Judy asked seeing lights pull into the parking lot of the motel. Nikki was too busy working with her portable tea kettle to even bother looking.

"Who knows."

She said shrugging off her cousins question. Judy narrowed her eyes as she heard car doors, wondering if it was Sam and Dean returning. It sounded like their car, but she wasn't completely for sure.

Then came the knock on the door. Judy turned and looked at Nikki, Who was still fumbling with the kettle. Judy, who was only 15 turned and looked at Nikki with question. Nikki, who was the fine age of 19 sighed.

"Get the door!"

She said causing her cousin to jump up and unlock the door. Sure enough it was the Winchesters.

"Hey kiddo."

Dean said walking inside the room with Sam following behind him. Judy was prepared to shut the door, but stopped when a man in a trench coat came in behind Sam. Judy wasn't sure who this was, but holy hell he was cute!

"Hey Nikki!"

Dean said walking over to the purple haired woman. She huffed smacking the tea kettle. Dean arched a brow watching her. She turned and looked at him.

"I just want some tea."

She groaned as the kettle that was full of water wasn't warming. Dean arched a brow.

"Is it plugged in?"

He asked while Sam stood in the middle of the room watching as Nikki had yet to acknowledge the new person in the room.

"Is it plugged in?"

Nikki mocked in a higher pitched snotty tone glaring at Dean.

"Yes it's plugged in! What do you take me for! An idjit?"

Judy kept her eyes on the man in the coat as she moved around the small motel room to move back to her seat at The table by the window where she had been sitting. The trench coat man glanced toward Sam.

"What is an 'idjit'?"

The unsuspecting voice caused Nikki to jump as she turned around quickly looking wide eyed at the new comer.

"Who the fuck are you!?"

She yelped moving to make a fist as if ready to pounce. Dean put his hands out to keep Nikki from attacking.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa! Easy there Rocky! He's helping us."

Dean explained watching as Nikki narrowed her eyes at the man before her. She didn't really believe Dean as her hands were still lifted ready to fight.

"And this is?"

She questioned not taking her eyes off the man. He was oddly dressed. Trench coat and suit. Who dressed like that?

"My name is Castiel. I am an angel."

His gruff voice caused Nikki to lower her arms a bit. She had never met an angel before and so she laughed. Castiel raised a brow watching as Nikki turned toward Dean.

"An angel? Really? Seriously?"

Her tone changed at her last word when Dean gave her that look that he wasn't messing around and was serious. He shrugged his shoulders.

"Seriously. Seen his wings and everything."

Dean said and Sam nodded. Judy watched feeling her face warm. An angel? Her mother had told her that she had seen one when she was about her age, but she hasn't believed it, now there wasn't really a doubt that her mother was telling the truth.

"You have wings?"

Judy spoke up for the first time of their arrival. Castiel turned and looked at her in the corner of the room as she just stay there at the table.

"Why is there a child here?"

He questioned turning back and looking at Sam and Dean.

"Cause she's my little sister. Besides she's not a kid. She's killed a handful of mothers, so don't judge her just because -- "

Nikki was cut off when she looked down at the little red light on her kettel that was no longer lit. She yelled picking up the kettle and smashing it against its warmer.

"I. JUST. WANT. SOME. FUCKING. TEA."

She screamed between smashing the tea kettle and huffing. Everyone in the room looked at Nikki, Dean had taken a small step back as she attacked the defenseless kettle.

"Is she..."

"She's always like this, yeah."

Sam whispered to Castiel as the angel nodded his head a little as if attempting to understand a bit better about the human woman before him.

Blue eyes slowly opened as she felt warm. Sighing deeply Nikki's eyes finally blinked and she looked around the room. She was in the sick bay in the bunker. Castiel was standing above her, he removed his fingers from her forehead and stepped back.

"Cas?"

She coughed covering her mouth with her hand looking oddly at the angel.

"You hit your head pretty hard. You and your sister have bad luck for that happening."

"What the hell did happen?"

Nikki questioned looking at the angel. The odd dream she had of their meeting hanging in the back of her mind as she looked around the sick bay. Castiel explained about Sam and the angel. About how he had killed Kevin and everything in between.

"Damn..."

Nikki muttered not letting Kevin's death get to her -- it wouldn't help at this point anyway.

"Judy's okay though right? Dean?"

"They are both fine."

"Good."

"So what the game plan? We're going after Sammy right?"

"So it seems. The angel inside of Sam must be rid of as soon as possible."

Castiel explained as Nikki rose up from the bed rubbing the back of her skull. She grunted as she walked pass Cas and toward the main area of the bunker.

"Nikki, wait, there's something else I must tell you -- "

"I'm sure that whatever it is can wait for a minute Cas, I have to check on -- "

"Hello kitten."

Nikki's eyes widened dropping her hand back down to her side's. Judy and Dean were both standing on either side of Crowley. Judy stood beside the demon king with a knife to his side, but her harsh gaze eased as she seen Nikki was well again.

"Crowley..."

His name barely left her lips as her voice was so low. He arched a brow, smirking.

"Surprise, darling. Seems my good behavior has allowed for a little free time."

"The only reason why you're out of that dungeon is to help us find Sam!"

Dean snapped. Judy glanced at Dean. These last couple of days had been hell for him and Judy, since Kevin's death neither one of them had hardly been sleeping.

"Right, well, let's not spill all the juicy deets. Shall we go boys, girls?"

He said glancing at Nikki winking at her. He grunted feeling Judy poke him in the side with her blade.

"Move it."

She hissed causing Crowley to chuckle as he walked past Nikki, his eyes looking across her face.

'Glad to see you're awake, darling. Had me worried when Squirrel and chipmunk told me what happened.'

She blinked watching him be walked upstairs by the two. Castiel stood behind Nikki waiting turning around looking at Castiel.

"Wait... do you have your powers back?"

Nikki asked suddenly recalling that their angel friend had been made human, but had manages to heal her with his powers.

"I... I have my powers back, but if I am at full strength I do not know."

He informed her as she started following after the three up the stairs.

"Anyway, good to have you back Cas."

Nikki said walking up the steps to exit the bunker.

Hey look! Free sunglasses!"

Nikki said as she bent down and scooped them up off the side of the road while they walked. Dean just kinda gave her a look as he carried the gas can full of gas that they had gotten from the local gas station.

Judy glanced at Nikki shaking her head as the younger walked behind Castiel and Nikki behind Crowley.

"Those don't look too bad."

Judy commented causing Nikki to grin. She wiped off the dirt and placed them up on the top of her head. Crowley glanced over his shoulder and gave her a smug little smile.

"You look dashing with trash on your head, kitten."

He commented. Nikki snorted shoving the back of his right shoulder a little with her hand causing him to skip a few steps in his walk.

"Says the King of Rotten things."

She snapped back. Judy caught Dean out of the corner of her eye kind of grin from Nikki's words.

"You shouldn't play into it, Nikki."

Castiel said as the five of them walked along the road side approaching Castiel's vehicle.

"There it is."

Cas spoke up. Nikki arched a brow looking at the car thinking it looked like an old pimp car.

"What are you a pimp?"

Crowley questioned causing Nikki to snort. She wasn't going to comment on it, but Crowley must have thought the same about the car if he made the comment. Judy glanced toward Nikki arching her brow.

"I kinda agree...."

Judy whispered while Dean started the car only for it to not turn over. Crowley and Cas were talking while Nikki and Judy stood at the back of the car. The older leaned against the trunk looking at the road they had just walked.

"What are the plans?"

Nikki asked. Judy looked at her then realizing that she knew nothing due to the fact that she had hit her head and was rendered unconscious for several hours.

"We find Sam and get the angel out. Pretty much it. They're gonna use Crowley to do that thing where he pokes around in Sam's head to render the angel useless."

With Judy's explanation it seemed logical. They needed to inform Sam that -- whoever it was in his head -- he needed to tell them to leave. Poor guy had no knowledge of any of it.

"And the angel is a powerful one yeah?"

Judy nodded. For the first time in, well, forever Judy had known more than her cousin. Nikki folded her arms across her chest and sighed. She was barely listening to Cas and Crowley when Dean finished filling the gas tank and ordered everyone inside.

"Shotgun."

Judy called out having Dean to agree with it. So Crowley, Nikki, and Castiel climbed into the back seat together.

"Damn there's not a whole lotta room back here..."

Nikki said so use to the impala or their truck. She caught the smirk in Crowley's tone while his hand came to rest over her left knee.

"Comfy darling?"

Nikki glanced at him quickly looking down at his hand before looking into his playful eyes.

'You're certainly enjoying your freedom.'

This causes Crowley to smirk and bite his bottom lip pulling it between his teeth looking at her.

'I'm going to be enjoying it a lot more when it's just us, kitten.'

She could hear the purr in her thoughts causing her to roll her eyes and snort. Looking over at Cas she noticed the man narrowing his eyes toward her. She arched her own brow.

"What?"

"You're okay with his hand on you like that?"

His questioned caused Dean and Judy to glance in the back seat.

"Hey! Hey! Keep your grimy hands to yourself!"

Dean snapped causing Crowley's expression to drop and he removed his hand. Judy didn't say anything as she just glared at Crowley, though Nikki knew it was just s front -- just like how she was with Cas.

Speaking of which.

"So, where the hell were you?"

Nikki popped the question while Dean continued to drive. Cas just looked at her oddly before he glanced at Dean.

"The angel in Sam's body kept me away. He made Dean keep me at bay so that I would not discover him."

"And you just went along with it? Dean! How could you!"

Nikki snapped now looking back at Deans head.

"What! I was doing what I believed right! Sam could have died!"

"Oh, yes, and this rouge angel -- "

"Gadreel."

Cas said causing Nikki to arch a brow.

"Gedrill?"

"Gadreel."

Cas corrected her causing her to fall silent.

"I don't like you right now. You're in trouble. So shut it."

She snapped causing Cas's eyes to widen. Nikki turned back to Dean hearing Crowley snicker from beside her.

"This rouge asshole running around in possession of a Winchester is so much better! Who knows what he's doing!"

"He's working for Metatron."

Judy said informed her cousin. Nikki blinked several times.

"What? What the hell happened after I was out?"

"A lot."

Judy said rolling her eyes and looking out the passenger side window. Nikki bit her bottom lip and sighed leaning back into the seat of the car keeping silent for the remainder of the ride into a city where Crowley said he had someone who could help them.

Well, until she was rudely awoken by Judy and Dean arguing about something in the front seat.

She had managed to fall asleep - somehow - and found herself waking up slowly to loud voices. Moving her cheek she felt smooth and warm material against her cheek.

'Awake darling?'

Crolweys voice entered her mind figuring it was him she was laid up against. She snuggled a bit more into him. He smelled a bit like blood and sweat, and deffintly sulfur, but he had been captive for months in the Winchester's basement so she wasn't going to complain.

'What are they arguing about now?'

'I do believe it started over the music, but then quickly escalated to whatever your darling sister found annoying in Squirrel.'

"Jesus Christ y'all have some serious PTSD problems! I blame your childhood!"

Nikki shouted causing the car to fall silent. Judy glanced over her shoulder, as did Dean, seeing Nikki finally start to wake up.

"Shut up!"

They both shouted at her. She rolled her eyes as they went back to arguing. She grunted closing her eyes again before snuggling back into Crowley's upper arm and closing her eyes listening to the two arguing.

Nobody really said anything about Nikki taking a nap on the King of Hell's arm during the car ride -- or if they did it was said while she was sleeping. Regardless, she felt more awake and alert after her little nap.

"Enjoy your cat nap, kitten?"

Crowley questioned looking smug as ever. Dean rolled his eyes as they all climbed out of the car.

"I wish you wouldn't call her that."

She hears him grumble. The car was parked outside of a very large building made from glass. All the windows were tinted with a blue haze and the sun reflected well from it.

"What?"

Crowley questioned as the group all walked inside. Dean didn't say anything else. Nikki noticed some chairs lined up and decided to take a seat, Judy joining her.

"Look, I understand you're getting comfy with your new best bud, but Dean and Cas still don't know the deal you've made with Crowley."

"And they never will. You've gotta keep this little tid bit between us alright?"

Judy frowned but nodded her head regardless. Her cousin's fears were understandable to say the least. Dean wasn't the most stable guy when it came to bad news and Cas certainly wouldn't like it one bit.

But they were family, and family watched out for each other.

"You need to talk to Cas after this is all over."

Nikki said watching as Dean and Cas came to take a seat. The two girls grew silent as Nikki pulled her sunglasses down over her eyes sitting there. Dean sat down next to the older of the two leaving Judy on the end and Cas sat a seat apart from Dean leaving the remaining seat open for Crowley upon his return.

"What's up?"

Nikki asked glancing at Dean. The man rolled his shoulders and explained that Crowley was setting up a meeting for them to meet with someone who could help find Sam. Nikki turned her head looking at Crowley, watching the demon making his way back over toward them while carrying his coat draped over his arms to hide the cuffs -- just like he had been walking down the street when they all went to get Cas's car.

'So, this friend of yours?'

Crowley turned his head and looked at Nikki giving her a small and rather mischevious smile.

'Shes going to help us find Moose. She's the best at what she does.'

'She?'

'Not jealous now are we kitten?'

His smile turned to a smirk. Nikki looked away with a rushed sigh, sounding like a huff.

'I just figured y'all were mostly males. Why would I be jealous?'

'Wouldnt be the first time, darling. Daddy keeps a close eye on his little girl.'

Nikki shot up from the chair fast enough to cause Dean and Judy both to jump, startled from her motions.

"What -- "

"I, uh, need to use the bathroom."

Nikki said as she walked across the lobby without so much as another word. Judy watched her disappear into the woman's bathroom before she turned and looked at a rather pleased Crowley. Narrowing her eyes she assumed that Crowley had been talking to Nikki and had been the one to cause her to act so quickly.

"Is she alright?"

Cas questioned looking between the group. Dean glanced from the bathroom then to Judy as if asking her to go check on her, but the girl didn't move. She was pretty sure the problem wasn't in the bathroom, but sitting two seats down from her instead.

"It was a long car ride... You know she has stomach problems."

"That's... That's true."

Dean agreed with Judy. Though the excuse was a poor one it was a possibility and could happen. But Judy and Crowley both knew better.

Time ticked away and soon Crowley was taken upstairs for his little meeting. It wasn't long after that did Nikki return from the bathroom. Dean gave her a look and she patted her stomach. He nodded and seemed to believe that she did have a stomach issue.

"Where's Crowley?"

"His meeting."

Dean said just sitting there. Nikki arched a brow confused as to why nobody else went. Time ticked by and after a long twenty minutes Crowley returned with some papers looking smug.

He handed them to Dean explaing that his car had ran a red light about ten minutes ago in a town a few towns over. Taking the papers Dean looked them over seeing that it was sure enough Baby.

"Alright. Let's go."

He said causing everyone to pile back into the car for another drive.

And there they all were in some abandoned factory that Crowley knew about with Sam tied up to a chair. Crowley was twisting some rods into his head while Cas, Dean, and Judy wee all in the other room. Dean had left the room when he couldn't take anymore of Sam's screams.

The angel needed to come out, but listening to his brother screaming he couldn't take it.

"So, you didn't go running?"

Crowley questioned when the two of them were alone. Nikki just shrugged as she stood there with her arms crossed over one another.

"This angel killed Kevin. Sam is locked away safe in his mind, it's not Sam screaming, its this prick of an angel."

Crowley arched a brow looking over his shoulder.

"Who would have ever known you had this side?"

Crowley's voice was deep and his eyes shown that he wasn't talking about just watching someone be tortured. Nikki swallowed nervously watching as the demon worked his magic.

"Come."

He ordered. Nikki arched a brow but lowered her arms and made her way toward Crowley. She stood beside him. His hand slowly slid from her forearm and up her hands. She felt her face warm as Crowley took his spot behind her. His breath fanning the left side of her neck and behind her ear.

"Here, darling."

He said putting her fingers into the metal piece that was stuck in Sam's head. Nikki gave it a twist in the manner Crowley had done. Sam screamed out and his body twitched causing Nikki's breath to catch in the back of her throat. She paused before doing it again having the same reaction.

"Who would have ever guessed this would get you so wet, kitten."

Crowley whispered, a chuckle in his voice. Her hand dropped and she tried to turn to face Crowley, but found she couldn't. His body behind hers held her in place she swallowed feeling Crowley's lips brush against her neck.

The fuck was he doing right now?

"Dean it's not Sam."

Castiel reminded the older brother. Judy stood beside Cas for the support, but said nothing. She watched as Dean pressed his hands against the wall trying to relax against it while hearing his brother screaming.

"I know! It's just hard man!"

Dean huffed. Judy looked to Cas, her eyes on the angel. He felt her eyes on him and looked over at her. Her eyes turned to Dean's back.

"Dean, I know you don't trust Crowley, but I believe he'll fix this."

"Oh great and now you have faith in the King of Hell?"

Dean questioned turning around and looking at her. Judy frowned, there were reasons why she believed he'd fix this. She didn't like him at all. He had done things that she could never forgive, but seeing the way he acted toward her cousin -- there was a redeeming hope there.

"He's helped us this far. Not saying I trust him at all, but... you know."

Dean looked at the younger woman. He understood her reasoning, and he hated to admit that maybe she was right.

"Okay, so maybe Crowley can help. I'm still gonna kill him when I get the chance."

Dean said rubbing his nose and walking back toward the room with Sam.

Hearing footsteps Crowley made no motion to remove himself from Nikki it was only when she pulled away from him and stood on the other side of Sam did she get some distance between each other.

"Hey anything yet?"

Dean asked walking back in seeing Sam's body not moving. Nikki shook her head crossing her arms over her chest.

"Nothing yet. No angel radio or whatever."

She said watching as Crowley was looking at her while he moved the little bars around in Sam's head.

"Don't give up hope. We'll get it."

She added seeing Dean's expression. It was seconds later did the angel bust through and started talking.

"You think you'll save him?"

Sam said looking at Dean.

"I'll rip him apart inside out."

He smirked. Nikki stepped in front of him drawing his attention. He scoffed seeing her glare.

"And you, you're no different from me."

He spat. She arched a brow curious as to what he meant. She knew instantly when he turned his gaze toward Crowley, and the demon chuckled a little taking hold of the little bar and twisting it.

"She is far different from you, mate. Don't put yourself on the same level as her, you'll fall."

Castiel glanced confused at Judy. Judy glanced at the angel and shrugged. In the back of her mind she was screaming. Her putter appearance couldn't keep this up much longer. Dean and Cas were bound to figure it out sooner or later and when they did all hell would break loose.

And when that did she knew Nikki would have it full force from Dean.

"Just get out of his body. It's not like you need Sam. There a millions of other crazy ass Christians who would be more than willing to let you in them!"

Nikki snapped. Sam chuckled looking back at her.

"You never did believe did you? I can see in his mind, even when presented with your beloved Castiel over there, you still refused."

"This isn't about me, you selfish fuck! Get out of Sam!"

Nikki screeched. Sam just smiled and closed his eyes. Dean looked between the two of them frowning. What the hell was happening.

"If you won't come out, then we'll have to go inside and drag you out."

Nikki said narrowing her eyes. Sam's eyes opened again and he smirked.

"And pray tell how a human such as yourself plans on doing that?"

"Yeah! How do you plan on doing that!"

Dean snapped. Nikki looked at Dean and lifted her finger toward Crowley. The demon looked baffled at her and then toward Dean and the others.

"He can. He can go inside Sam and -- "

"No! No way in hell! Absolutely not!"

Dean snapped walking over to Nikki. She glared at the man.

"Do you have a better idea! An angel will only leave if the host makes them! And because you wanted to play doctor with an angel Sam has no idea he has one inside of him! Crowley can go in there and tell Sam what's going on -- "

"I hate to say it, but she's right."

Cas spoke up and Judy nodded. Dean shook his head, his eyes glistening over. He didn't know how much more he could take of this torment.

"You come right back out -- "

"Trust me, wouldn't dream of staying inside Moose. Besides, my meat suit is better."

Crowley chuckled winking at Nikki. She rolled her eyes playing it off for the boys.

"Fine. I'll grab another chair."

Nikki said wandering off in search of a chair for Crowley. It didn't take long to find one and before they all knew it, Crowley smoked out of his meat suit and into Sam. Nikki's eyes widened as she watched the red swirl around into the air and right into Sam -- after Cas removed his tattoo of course.

The four of them waited for a while in silence. Then suddenly, Sam's body started to shake and suddenly the grace from the angel came flying through Sam's mouth and out of the building.

Crowley soon followed.

Dean, Cas and Judy rushed toward Sam checking him over. Crowley of course whined about how he was fine, and thanked them for asking. It was only then when he heard that little voice in the back of his head, and he turned to look at Nikki, who was standing off to the side.

'Thank you, Crowley.'

She said looking at him. He looked at her and shrugged.

'What are friends for darling?'

She looked away, the red Crowley could clearly see coming to her cheeks causing him to chuckle lowly to himself. But the fun was over when some cars pulled up.

"It's some red haired chick and a group!"

Judy said as she gazed out the window. Castiel looked to Dean after they helped Sam up and put of the chair.

"Abaddon!"

"Aba-who?"

Nikki questioned, it was only then that the men realized just how much danger they had dragged the unsuspecting girls into the mess they had all made for themselves.

"No time to explain, darling. All you need to know is you need to get out of here and as far away as possible."

Crowley said walking over to her. She looked at him confused as Judy and Cas rushed past with Sam. Dean came up to Crowley, glaring at the demon.

"There's no time to run!"

He said. Crowley turned his eyes away from Nikki looking at Dean.

"Yes there is. Go. I'll hold her off. Take kitten here and run."

"What -- you all make her sound extremely dangerous I'm not leaving you here by -- "

'Please, Nikki, go.'

She stopped and looked at Crowley. He had just not only said her name, but he had used please. She swallowed nervously looking at him biting her lower lip.

"Nikki we have to go! Come on!"

Dean said not understanding the stare down between the two. Her eyes snapped toward Dean as he grabbed her wrist.

"This doesn't make us even. If I see you again -- "

"I know. I'm dead. I love you too. Now take her and get out of here!"

Dean didn't have to be told twice. He tugged Nikki forward not catching the look of worry that she gave Crowley over her shoulder. The demon watched her retreating form over his shoulder until she was gone.

'Dont do anything stupid, Crowley. I swear I'll being you back from the dead and kill you myself.'

He chuckled at her thoughts before taking a seat. Sighing he waited for he ginger whore to arrive.

Nikki watched along side Judy as Dean and Sam stood on the docks arguing. Sam was pissed about the angel and Dean was doing his best to explain himself. The two stood there even while the rain started to come down.

"Would you do that to me?"

Nikki asked her eyes on Dean's hurt expression. Judy crossed her arms over her chest.

"If it meant keeping you alive, yeah."

Nikki snorted rolling her eyes a little. There was a lot that the girls could say about one another. And one of those things is that they would risk it all for each other just like how the Winchesters would do for one another.

"Just lemme die okay. I dont need anything inside my body keeping me alive."

Nikki said causing Judy's eyes to snap her direction.

"You're serious?"

She questioned jumping when Dean slammed the door to the impala and took off. Thunder rumbled in the sky above them. Nikki found her worries on Crowley for a split moment wondering what happened after they fled from Abaddon. As soon as the thoughts came she pushed them away and scoffed smacking her hand against her thighs.

"Fuck this shit dude. I'm going home."

She yelled causing Sam to look her way. Nikki huffed and started walking toward Cas's car.

"You going back to the bunker Sam? Give us a lift?"

Sam just looked between the two girls. Judy didn't say anything and just looked at Sam as if she was just as shocked.

Everything was falling apart.
