Nadia's pov

"Nadia, where are you going?" Dean asked. "To let Jack out. It doesn't feel right. You two were manipulating him," I said, walking away.

I headed to room 5B. I start feeling a tremor, the alarm blaring.

I moved away from the door as it burst open, getting down to cover. I coughed as it was dusty and smokey.

"Nadia, you okay?" Cas asked, helping me up. I nodded, getting up.

We headed inside the room, seeing the mess. "What happened?" Dean asked.

"I told you this was a bad idea! Next time, listen to me!" I yelled. I see Jack's eyes lighting up, seeing Jack coming through the smoke.

"Oh no..." "Jack?" Sam asked as Jack stood there.

Now

The alarm is still blaring and red. The room is a mess and the Ma'lak box has exploded into pieces.

Jack's eyes are still lit up, staring at us. "Oh no," I whispered.

"Nadia, get behind me," Cas said. I got behind Cas.

"Jack?" Sam asked. "You lied to me," Jack said.

"Jack?" Cas asked. I looked at Jack as I knew that he's gonna use his powers.

"You lied!" Jack yelled. I ran out of the room, going to the other side of the room.

Jack uses his powers to shove Sam, Dean and Cas away. I got down, covering my head, looking over.

"Noooo!!!" Cas yelled as I saw him flying out of the room into the walk.

I gasped softly as I heard more thud sounds as Dean and Sam crashed into the shelves as the rumbling stopped.

I uncovered my head, seeing Cas. I walked over to Cas.

"Cas, you okay?" I asked. "Yeah, I'm okay. Go calm Jack down," Cas said.

I nodded, heading into the room. "Jack?" I asked.

"Nadia, I'm sorry. I had to," Jack said. He disappears.

The red lights and blaring stops as the building whirring up. I coughed up a storm.

"I don't understand. The Ma'lak box can hold an archangel," Cas said. "Jack's not an archangel," Sam said.

"Yeah, apparently the kid leveled up," Dean said. "See, this is why I keep saying that this was not a good idea to trap him into the box. I saw this happening before, Dean. You're blinded by the anger because he accidentally killed Mary," I said.

"Now what do we do?" Cas asked. "We'll find him," Dean said.

"How?" Cas asked. "I don't know, Cas. You tell me," Dean said.

"The last time we found Jack, it was by praying for him but that's not going to happen again," Sam said.

"Yeah, you think?" Dean asked. "Nadia, can you try to find him?" Cas asked.

"Let me try," I said, closing my eyes. I rolled my eyes in the back of my head as I tried to see where Jack went.

My eyes went back to normal as I grunted. "I can't see him. He's blocked his thoughts from mine," I said.

"You should never try to lock him away as Nadia said. Should've listened to her," Cas said.

"You know what? You're right. We should've listened to her. I never wanted to put him in that damn box. I wanted him dead," Dean said.

"Dean, you don't mean that," I said. "I do, Nadia. He's dangerous, you and Cas knew that. You two have known that for a long time. That's okay, you know why? Because, me and Sam, we've killed just about everything there is and this, Jack, we will find away, because he's just another monster," Dean said.

"You don't mean that," Cas said. "The hell I don't!" Dean yelled at Cas.

Cas nudged Dean's shoulder, walking away.

"Seriously, Dean? You gotta be careful what you say. Wishing death on someone like Jack, isn't gonna bring Mary back. You and Sam go find Jack and if you don't Dean, don't expect me to be here when you come back," I said, walking away.

"What are you saying, Nadia?" Dean asked. "If anything happens to Jack, I will never forgive you again and I will leave you," I said, walking away.

I leave the area, following Cas. "Cas, wait," I said.

Cas stops and sees me. "Nadia, you okay? I heard what you said to Dean," he said.

"Yeah, I'm fine. I'm just worried about Jack," I said. "I know. Me too. I'm gonna go to Hell to study Lucifer's cage," he said.

"Okay. Be careful. I took a trip through Hell to get to The Lair to meet Ligeia," I said. "I will. If I find Jack, I'll let you know," he said.

Cas and I hugged. "Bring him home safe," I said.

"I will," Cas said, leaving the bunker. I headed to mine and Dean's room.

I gathered up my stuff, pictures, essentials, etc then headed to my old room. "Nadia, what are you doing?" Dean asked.

"Moving back to my old room. I can't tell you to sleep on the couch because we don't have one," I said.

"Okay. Nadia, I am so sorry for being an asshole and being blinded by anger after what happened to mom," he said.

"Save it, Dean. Find Jack first then I'll maybe forgive you," I said, heading to my other room. I slammed the door shut.

I sighed softly, sitting down on the bed. I covered my eyes.

"Jack, it's Nadia. Please be safe out there and please come home. I won't manipulate you like Dean, Sam and Dumah did. I had no idea that they were manipulating you. I promise. I tried to tell them that it's not a good idea to do that. So please be safe and don't do anything bad," I said.

Dean and Sam are trying to find Jack. Cas went to Hell to study Lucifer's cage. I'm in the bunker's main area.

I have my laptop out, trying to find where Ligeia's located. She's warded herself from me, just like I have her warded from me.

"Where are you, bitch?" I whispered. I heard a snapping sound. Sam, Dean, Cas appeared, gasping softly as I saw Chuck.

"There? Better?" Chuck asked. "Chuck?" I asked.

"Hi, Nadia. Good to see you. So how's things?" Chuck asked. I closed Thom's journal.

We didn't answer him. "Okay, look. I get it. Alright, I'm from the Deus from the machine and you have questions. Great, so go," Chuck said.

"Yeah, like Dean said; where have you been?" Sam asked. Chuck sighed. "It's hard to explain. Um... everywhere, nowhere to the edge of the universe and beyond. I saw Springsteen on Broadway. Man's a genius," Chuck said.

"How's...," Dean paused. "Dean, let me ask him. Where's your sister? Amara aka the woman that attempted to break me and Dean up? Who tried to kill Deanna in the womb," I said.

"I see you're still mad at her for that," Chuck said. "Yeah I am. Where is she?" I asked.

"She's been with me. Yeah, it's been nice reconnecting after the whole 'trying to murder me and all existence' thing and Nadia, she's sorry for trying to hurt you and tried to steal Dean from you," he said.

"Yea, right. I bet she still wants Dean," I said. "Where is she?" Cas asked.

"Reno. Turns out she likes Kino," Chuck said. "Why are you here?" Dean asked. "Because of Jack," Cas said.

"Listen, you guys know me. I'm hands off. I build the sandbox you play in. You want to fight Leviathans? Cool, you got that. You and Nadia meeting each other, you both got that. You want to go up against... What? The British Men of Letters? Okay a little weak but okay.. But when this gets really bad, like the Apocalypse and well, Other Apocalypse, that's when I step in," Chuck said.

"You're saying that Jack is Apocalyptic?" Sam asked. "So is Nadia since she's half-succubus. He said 'stop lying'; and if you didn't notice but the world went kinda insane," Chuck said, turning the radio on.

We hear all the things people are saying honestly. "Oh shit," I said.

"Wherever Nadia Roussell's at, she will pay for what she did to my sister's face," Clara Burke's voice said.

I quickly shut the radio off. "You made your point," I said.

"Can you fix it?" Cas asked. "Unless you want me to fix it?" I asked.

Chuck snaps his fingers. "Sorry, Nadia, you can't since I'm God. Now you can try to be honest," Chuck said.

"Celine Dion rocks. We can lie again," Dean said. "Like the rioting?" Cas asked.

"Like it never happens. You're welcome," Chuck said. We looked at him.

"So how do we stop him?" Sam asked. "Not exactly. Nadia can't because his powers make her weak. But you can," Chuck said.

"Thanks for reminding me. How do we do that?" I asked. "With that," Chuck said.

We looked at the gun on the table. "What is that?" Cas asked.

"I'm calling it The Equalizer or The Hammurabi. No?" Chuck asked. "So that will kill Jack?" Dean asked.

"It will kill anything," Chuck said. "Does it work?" I asked. "It works," Chuck said. "No bullets?" Dean asked.

"No bullets. It doesn't need it. Existent is all about balance? Dark and Light, good and evil, peanut butter and chocolate," Chuck said.

"What's the point?" Sam asked. Chuck explains what it does.

"What does that mean?" Cas asked. "I think he means if Dean shoots Jack with it and it kills it. It'll kill Dean," I said.

"Good job, Nadia. You definitely hear people's thoughts. I can't do it because if I kill Jack, then I die to kill all existence. So one of your four have to do it, I'm sorry," Chuck said.

"I can't believe I said that," I said. "I don't understand why we're talking about killing Jack. You can fix him. You can restore his soul, that's why I called you," Cas said.

"Yeah, I can't," Chuck said. "You're God," Sam said.

"Souls are complicated, even for me. Besides, even if I could, would you really want, I mean after what he did," Chuck said.

"Then we bound him. We can throw him into the Cage until," Cas paused. "Cas, stop, you heard him. This is the only way," Dean said.

"Dean, we...," I paused. "We have to, Nadia. I know you'll never forgive me," Dean said.

"And Billie said; the only way we defeat Michael was to lock you in the box," Cas said.

"I don't like her. I liked the old Death better. He was all about junk food and pickles. This new one, she put her scythe where it doesn't belong," Chuck said.

"There has to be another way," Cas said. "I agree, Cas," I said.

"Well, there's not. Now I know you and Nadia don't like it, I really don't care. You heard it from Chuck himself that this is the only thing that can kill Jack so either get on board or walk away," Dean said to Cas.

Cas walks away. "Seriously, Dean?" I asked. "Nadia, I know you'll never forgive me for killing Jack but we have no choice," he said.

"Fine, do whatever you want, Dean. John and Mary will be disappointed. No, I take that back. Our daughter will be disappointed in you," I said, as my voice breaks.

I grabbed Thom's journal. I walked away, sniffling.

I headed to my old room, shutting the door. I sat Thom's journal down on the table.

I held a picture of me, Dean and Deanna after she was born in the hospital.

I heard a knock on the door. "Who is it?" I asked.

"Castiel," Cas said. I went to open the door, seeing Cas. "Hey, Cas," I said.

"Nadia, we better find Jack and let him know about what's going on," Cas said. I nodded, getting up.

"Should we tell Dean and Sam?" I asked. "No, we don't. Just us since we promised Kelly we'd protect Jack," Cas said.

"Okay. Let me change into my hunter attire and we can go," I said. Cas nodded as I shut the door.

I quickly changed into my hunter attire, putting my boots on. I grabbed my light jacket since the weather is warmer.

I opened the door, shutting it. "Let's go find him," I said.

Cas and I leave the Bunker, going to his truck. I got in the passenger seat as Cas got in the driver's seat.

Cas started driving. "I can't believe that Dean wants to do this to Jack," Cas said.

"I hope he comes to his senses. Jack's soulless and Dean just doesn't understand," I said. Cas nodded as he continued to drive.

---

We arrived at the cemetery. Cas stops the truck, getting out.

I got out as well. "I hope Jack comes here," I said.

"Same but first," Cas paused. He punches the hood of his truck in anger. I hear a whooshing sound, the leaves blowing.

I look up, seeing Jack. "Cas, he's here," I said. "Jack?" Cas asked.

I sighed in relief. "Hey, Jack. I tried to tell Dean and Sam that it wasn't a good idea for you to be in that box," I said.

"I know, Nadia. It's not your fault. Dean didn't want to listen," Jack said. I hugged him.

Jack held me, sighing in relief. "It's okay. I'm glad that you're safe. That's all that matters," I said.

Jack nodded as we pulled away. "Castiel," Jack said.

"Jack," Cas said. "I've been looking for you," Jack said.

"We've been looking for you too," Cas said, hugging Jack.
