Part Two

Some angels are destined to fall. ~Anonymous

▫▫▫

Nadia stood all the way across the room behind Bobby's desk as her and the group watched Anna casually pace back and forth.

As if things couldn't get anymore complicated, Anna is actually an angel and for Nadia, it was no longer Deja vu.

It was another piece to her puzzle.

She stared at the redhead in discomfort, feeling like she was going crazy.

"Don't be afraid, I'm not like the others." Anna said to everyone.

"I don't find that very reassuring." Said Ruby standing in the door way of the kitchen and Bobby's study.

"Neither do I." Said Pamela sitting in between the Winchester boys on Bobby's desk.

Anna sighed, looking at them. "So. . .Castiel, Uriel, they're the ones that came for me?"

"You know them?" Sam asked.

"We were kind of in the same foxhole." Her answer caused Sam to furrow his eyebrows.

"So, what, were they like your bosses or something?" Dean asked.

"Try the other way around." She smirked.

Dean nodded, impressed. "Look at you."

"But now they want to kill you?" Said Pamela.

"Orders are orders. I'm sure I have a death sentence on my head." The redhead started to casually pace again.

"Why?" Pamela questioned.

Anna crossed her arms over her chest, turning to them.

"I disobeyed. . . which, for us, is about the worst thing you can do. I fell." She looked at Nadia. "Like Vanessa, your mother."

Everyone in the room went silent as they looked over at Nadia who stood there, speechless.

She slowly walked from behind Bobby's desk. "What does that mean?"

"They fell to earth, became human." Pamela answered.

Nadia scoffed in surprise, turning away as Sam said, "Wait a minute. I don't understand. So, angels can just become human?"

"It kind of hurts." Anna explained. "Try cutting your kidney out with a butter knife. That kind of hurt. I ripped out my grace."

"Come again?" Dean raised his eyebrow.

"My grace. It's. . . energy. Hacked it out and fell. My mother, Amy, couldn't get pregnant. Always called me her little miracle. She had no idea how right she was."

"But this doesn't make sense." Nadia turned around. "You were reborn, my mother she, when I was little I remember you-"

"Your mother had already gotten pregnant before she decided to fall. Can't be reborn again, if you're already holding a life." Anna explained.

"That's why we know each other, Nadia. I was your guardian angel." She smirked a bit in reminisce. "Well you use to call me-"

"My imaginary friend." Nadia finished her sentence not smiling at all.

"Yeah I remember. When we first met, you told me you knew someone close to me. I didn't know you were talking about my mom."

Anna nodded. "Yes, her and I were very close. We had the same views as you can see. She met your father and made the decision to fall as long as I promised to watch over you."

"So, you just forgot that you were God's little Power Ranger?" Dean asked.

"The older I got, the longer I was human, yeah." Anna answered. "Which is why when I was still an angel, Vanessa asked me to watch over Nadia because she soon as well forgot she was ever an angel."

"Oh my god." Nadia ran her fingers through her hair.

"Nadie, I know this is a lot. I haven't seen you since you were a little girl but-"

"I need a minute." Nadia stepped away from Anna who tried to reach out to her. "I need to go."

Dean pushed himself off the desk. "Nadia-"

The door closed and she was already gone.

It was quiet for a moment before Ruby said, "I don't think you all appreciate how completely screwed we are."

"Ruby's right." Anna agreed. "Heaven wants me dead."

"And Hell just wants her." Ruby goes on.

"A flesh-and-blood angel that you can question, torture, that bleeds." She looked at the redhead. "Sister, you're the Stanley Cup. And sooner or later, Heaven or Hell, they're gonna find you."

"I know." Anna nodded. "And that's why I'm gonna get it back."

"What?" Sam frowned.

"My grace."

"You can do that?" Dean asked.

Anna looked down, slightly worried. "If I can find it."

"So, what, you're just gonna take some divine bong hit, and, shazam, you're Roma Downey?"

"Something like that." Anna replied to Dean's question with a shrug.

"All right. I like this plan." Dean said game. "So, where's this grace of yours?"

"Lost track. I was falling about ten miles miles per hour at the time."

"Wait. You mean falling, like, literally?" Sam asked.

"Yes."

"Like the way a human eye can see? Like a comet, maybe, or a meteor?"

Anna nodded, "Why do you ask?"

▫▫▫

Nadia had been gone for hours, just walking, thinking and more walking.

Even when the sun went down and the stars came out her mind and legs were still going.

They kept calling her but she wouldn't answer. She didn't want to, she didn't know what to say.

Her mom was a freaking Angel and she never knew. Her Dad never said anything so maybe he didn't know either.

All those years ago as a little girl when she felt alone, like she didn't fit in Anna was always there for her.

Her imaginary friend with the pretty red hair, she called her.

Told her parents that her imaginary friend looked like Ariel.

Anna was the nicest friend she ever had but apparently she wasn't just her friend, she was her guardian angel.

Nadia entered Bobby's salvage yard, making her way up to the house where she found Anna sitting on the porch.

"There you are." The redhead stood. "I was worried about you. Are you okay?"

Nadia stood there, looking at her.

So many questions were going through her head.

"When my mom got killed and you disappeared, is that when you fell?"

Anna nodded. "Yes, yes it was."

"I needed you Anna." Tears welled up in her eyes. "Why didn't you save my mom? Why couldn't you be there for me?"

"It was bad enough I was watching you against orders. I was using magic so they couldn't find you. After your mom got killed I just couldn't do it anymore, I was living a double life and I didn't want to be an angel anymore. The promise that I made to your mother was the only thing keeping me from falling."

Nadia nodded, wiping her wet cheeks. "So when she died, it your was out, wasn't it?"

"I'm so sorry." Anna looked down guilty. "I really am."

Nadia rolled her eyes, trying to calm herself down.

"I still don't get it, shouldn't I be like half angel or something?"

"You are." Anna walked over to her.

"But your grace was extracted when your mom extracted hers while you were in the womb. She hid it, so no one would be able to take it away from you or worse kill you. When she got pregnant with you, she said she saw you in a vision.

You were this powerful beautiful angel. She said you helped people and changed the world, and still managed to keep your humanity. Something we angels don't have as you can see. And trust me when I say, I knew from the first time I met you as a little girl, you were gonna be a better angel then we ever we were."

Nadia stared for a moment, taking in the information, "So, my grace, where it is?"

Before Anna could answer, Dean pulled up in the Impala just getting back form dropping Pamela off.

Nadia stood beside Anna, watching him get out of the car.

"Hey, you're back." He said to Nadia. "You had me worried sick."

"Sorry." She apologized. "Its just a lot you know."

Dean nodded understandingly, fidgeting with his keys. "Yeah, tell me about it."

The front door opened and Sam came outside on the porch. "Hey."

"Did you find something?" Dean asked.

"I think so."

"Find what?" Nadia asked confused.

"My grace." Anna answered.

Dean explained the plan to Nadia as they all went back inside the house to Bobby's study.

Everyone stood around a table where Sam had a newspaper clip.

"Union, Kentucky. Found some accounts of a local miracle." He began to explain.

"In eighty-five, there was an empty field outside of town. Six months later, there was a full-grown oak. They say it looks a century old at least."

"Anna, what do you think?" Nadia asked.

Anna looked up. "The grace. Where it hit, it could have done something like that, easy."

Dean's eyebrows furrowed. "So grace ground zero, it's not destruction. It's. . ."

"Pure creation."

▫▫▫

"You know, it kind of makes sense why you hate me so much." Said Ruby to Nadia who was sitting between both her and Anna as they were riding down the road.

"Your mother was an Angel, making you half Angel."

Nadia rolled her eyes. "I'm pretty sure me being half Angel has nothing to do with me hating your kind."

"Sure." Ruby scoffed, looking away.

Sam looked back at Nadia, having been in thought since she explained to them what Anna told her.

"So if you have your own grace, where is it?"

Nadia looked over at Anna, raising her eyebrows at her.

"It is safe, trust me. Its just with this angel radio thing, I'd rather not say."

Nadia nodded like Sam who turned back around.

Dean looks in the rear-view mirror at the three and laughs.

"What?" Ruby asked.

"Nothing." Dean shrugged. "It's just an angel, half angel and a demon riding in the backseat. It's like the setup to a bad joke. . . or a Penthouse Forum letter."

Nadia rolled her eyes. "Dean. . . Reality. . . Porn."

Dean smirked. "You call this reality?"

▫▫▫

After driving all night, the group finally arrived at at the tree that stood in the middle of the field, just a few feet away from a barn.

Nadia's jaw dropped as she got out of the car, looking up at the tree.

It looked like something you would see in a fantasy book.

The tree was tall and healthy.

From the thick trunk to the bright green leaves. Not to mention the sun shined down on it perfectly.

"It's beautiful." She smiled.

She felt the presence again, Anna's presence. Just like it felt when she was a little girl.

"It's where the grace touched down." Said Anna. "I can feel it."

"You ready to do this?" Dean asked.

Anna shook her head. "Not really."

Anna walked up to the tree and the group followed behind her.

"Anna, what are we even looking for?" Sam asked her.

Anna tilted her head and she placed a hand on the tree trunk.

"It doesn't matter. It's not here. Not anymore." She looked back at them in slight anger.

"Someone took it."
