WHO: Austin Daniels, Rob Strange, Justin Anderson, Cassie MacMahon, Lillie Shipton, and later Michelle Kingston and Elijah Savage
WHERE: The Devil's Gate in Southern Wyoming
WHEN: Forward dated to late Monday night, October 8.
WHAT: Austin's getting a friend to open the gate, releasing hundreds of new demons into the world annnnnd taking his revenge.
WARNINGS: Language, violence, and character death. Typical Supernatural thread.



There wasn't a proper word to describe the anger boiling over inside Austin Daniels in the event of losing not only his family, but Azazel's family--his father and brethren--as well in a cheap trick perpetrated by those abominable hunters. He'd been playing light with them before; a few deaths here, a threatening note there. It was all in good fun, and all because he thought that they could never, ever be an actual threat to him and his. The Winchester boys were dimwitted and only survived as long as they did on their show due to luck and the sacrifice of others, and they barely succeeded even then. That was when faced with each higher-level demon separately. In this world, the Winchesters had been faced with Lucifer, Alastair, Azazel, and Lilith all at once.

And they'd trapped Lucifer and Alastair as if it were nothing.

So yes, to say he was fuming was putting it mildly, and the plan that had been developing in the back of his brain for months would now come into fruition. He wanted to hold nothing back from these hunters; he would destroy everything they cared about before turning on them so that they suffered for their atrocities. With a simple twist of a gun he could open hell itself to bring forth the worst demons the reincarnated hunters had ever faced, and hopefully enough to rip the world apart. He was aiming to burn the earth and bring them all down.

The night was brisk, and Austin stood with the Colt in his pocket just outside Samuel Colt's rather large trap, the center of which held the door he very much wanted to open. He couldn't enter himself; Colt had warded the place against demons to prevent this exact scenario from playing out. But Austin had friends in high places who wanted to destroy just as much as he did, and they could go through. The sound of a snapping twig behind him curled his lips into a cruel smile. It was time.

"I almost thought you'd stood me up, Strange." He said, turning to face the man. He pulled the gun out of his coat pocket and admired it briefly, the sleek design and power to kill anything admirable. He then handed it over. There was no sense in delaying any further. "I've texted you a picture of what the door should look like. It's dead center in the graveyard. The gun is the key. I can't enter until the door is open so you'll have to venture on alone, but for a man of your background I'm assuming that won't be a problem. Unless you have a fear of the dark you're hiding from me?"

It took a moment for everything to sink in for Cassie. She was still reeling over missing Austin with the Colt, for a moment convinced that they'd take out yet another enemy briefly. It wouldn't be permanent--it never was. The bad guys came back in different bodies, there was always evil to be fought, but there would be a reprieve. A moment where they could all breathe before evil reappeared. It would have been nice. But no, Austin fled like a coward leaving her with a gun that wouldn't help right then, and them all with hell's contents spilling onto earth.

"You what?" Cassie asked, eyes wide. She was sure she had misheard somehow. Maybe they had to pull it partially closed from the inside to give them the upper hand, and then come out, and then they could all push it closed and things would end happily for them. There could be pie for Lillie, and her lap top for her. Justin could have a beer. Michelle and Elijah could sit with them while they discussed what to do about the demons who had escaped. But she didn't need Sam's apology in her mind to know that that wouldn't be their luck. It was never their luck.

"No! That's not an option!" She said quickly, looking to Justin and Lillie for support. Lillie was quick to give it without needing Cassie's look, protesting herself without reserve. "Michelle, you can't. There's another way. We just have to push harder!"

She wanted to move forward and block the way. Part of her wanted to jump in there and sacrifice herself to close the door so that the two of them wouldn't be able to. That was the Winchester way, after all. Loyal to a fault, willing to let the world end to save each other--and in this case, their friends--first unless prevented from doing the stupid thing. There were already tears forming and spilling over her cheeks, and the deed wasn't even done yet. Michelle was still there, but she wouldn't be for much longer.

There's not other choice, Cassie. You've gotta let her go.

More than anything right then she wanted to punch Sam in his stupid face. Michelle was the first person she'd been able to talk to once she'd gotten the young Winchester, when she first became a reincarnate. She was the one who'd saved her from the first Alastair's torture table. And now she was supposed to just let her walk into hell?

If we don't close it, world's going to end.

Cassie's jaw set tight and she stared at the ground. If it was going to happen, it wasn't something she could watch.

No. This can't be happening again.

At first, Lillie wasn't even aware that she was shouting. Shrieking, really, snapping at just the idea of someone else dying for them, hysterical at the reality of it. She didn't know what she was saying. Didn't know that she was crying, hopeless and angry and desperate and stubborn. Maybe stubborn most of all. Every fiber of her being was beyond unwilling to accept this, to watch Michelle and Elijah sacrifice themselves to shut the Gate. To let them die so she, Justin, and Cassie could live. So many people had already done this for them – too many, starting with Mary Winchester and ending with almost everyone they'd ever known, so this... It was just too much. She tried to scream sense into them, not knowing that she nonsensical. Far past her breaking point, Lillie well and truly lost it.

But then she felt a hand on her arm, and it was like a switch had been flipped. Her mouth hung open uselessly, her voice just gone, and if this had been any other time, her first instinct would have been to wrench her arm away and keep fighting, no matter how pointless it was, but then she looked back and saw the only reason not to. Justin. She'd never seen that look on his face before, so angry but so calmly accepting at the same time – but Dean had, on Jo's. The memory hit her like a knife to the stomach, and she had to look away from Justin, just for a second. Just to keep breathing. That memory was too painful. She looked where he looked instead.

Michelle and Elijah only had eyes for each other. They were about to die, they knew that, but they'd already made peace with it because they were going to die together. It was almost comforting. Wasn't fair, but it was right. Neither one of them could leave the other behind, and that was something Lillie understood, even if she still couldn't comprehend why they would do it for them. She could never leave Justin behind again. Not Cassie, either. Having been on both sides of that equation, Dean knew the alternatives were not an option – couldn't be, not ever. At least they'd be together. His angel, her demon. At least there was that.

Accepting it, Lillie also accepted the comfort Justin was trying to give her, practically falling back against him, hands reaching wildly for his. When she found them, she didn't stop falling back; she nodded, and gave their guardians they space they needed to shut the gate once and for all. "Cassie," she called out hoarsely. She didn't bother wishing things were different. They never had been before. It always came down to this. "Come on. They... they have to."

Michelle understood why they were upset, and she didn't fault them for it. If she'd been in their place, she wouldn't be any happier about this. And to say that she was happy about this in her position would have been a lie, but she was more than willing to do this. Not just for them, either. She was still an Angel, albeit a very bad one, and she couldn't just stand by and let the whole world go to Hell if she could actually do something to help. This was what she and Elijah had to do in order to insure the Earth kept on spinning, and it was no easy thing to come to terms with, but she did it with all the grace she could muster. Truth be told, she was terrified, but knowing Elijah was taking the leap with her was all she needed to do what had to be done.

"Cassie," Michelle shook her head, knowing Elijah was right and they were wasting time, but she stopped long enough to briefly tear her eyes away from Elijah's and bring Cassie into a fierce hug. Michelle wasn't one to openly play favorites with her charges, but it was no secret that the Caretaker and her charge had been bonded together with something thicker than water since the beginning. Michelle couldn't say why, but Cassie had always felt to her like something more, like her blood. There was nothing she wouldn't do to make sure Cassie remained alive and well, and had done, so this was no different. This was Michelle's job, to guard those in her care and always keep them safe from harm.

"Don't blame yourself for this," the Angel whispered softly into the girl's ear as she pulled regretfully away. "People are going to want to give their lives up for you and the greater good because it gives their lives more meaning. Don't resent that."

She glanced at Lillie, observing the caring way Justin was holding onto her and nodded. They would be all right, the three of them. She knew that, even as she wondered how fast trouble would find them again once she and Elijah were gone. It was almost enough to make her balk and stay, but she didn't. Instead she wiped away a single tear that escaped the corner of her eye as she briefly remembered just a couple years ago a Michelle Kingston who was still panicking at the idea of living forever, with no idea of just what life actually had in store for her. It was almost funny to her now. "Take care of each other."

Michelle gripped Elijah's hand so tightly her knuckles turned white, and then they disappeared, reappearing on the other side of the doors with the sounds and the heat of Hell practically bearing down on them. In a way, it was almost right. She didn't belong in Hell and he didn't belong in Heaven, but if they were going to do the stupid thing and rebel against both, it should be hand in hand. Who knows, maybe they'd go somewhere else, the both of them. She liked that thought. Michelle screwed her eyes against the blaze and the smoke, blonde hair flying every which way in all the commotion as she placed her free hand on the door and her wrist strained, ready to pull. Hell of a way to end their Arrangement indeed. It only took her looking at him again to know she didn't regret it. Any of it. Not for one, ineffable second.

"I'd do it all again, you know," she shouted over the noise, laughing a little despite herself and looking younger than she'd felt in years. They were close enough still that she could have reached for him, but she hesitated, genuine fear of what they were about to do finally creeping into her and she realized she was trembling. Smiling and trembling while on the brink of going up in a blazing Hellfire of glory. Could anyone blame her for being a little nervous? The tight grip she had on his hand didn't lessen. "Every bit of it."

Elijah gave Cassie and Michelle their moment, a part of and apart from it all at once. That had always been the case with him and these hunters; they'd never fully trusted him, and rightfully so. If it hadn't been for Shane, they wouldn't have trusted him at all. Even a demon with a heart was still a demon, and Elijah was only as good as the company he kept. Shane and Michelle – they had changed him for the better. Too late, in Shane's case, but her death had been a turning point in his life. The first fork in the road where he'd taken the right path instead of the easy one. And Michelle. He never could have done it without Michelle.

Silently, he watched her say goodbye to her friends. Even for him, it was difficult, as though he was seeing something that wasn't meant for him, but he couldn't bear to look away from her, not when he was so close to the end. In the back of his mind, it occurred to him that if he'd made the other choice, if he'd stayed true to his demonic nature, then maybe he wouldn't be here. Maybe that path would have taken him elsewhere, and he would've lived another thousand years. The corner of his mouth curled up in a small, wry smile at that thought. He'd lived long enough, and he'd lived alone. Even now, when he should have been desperate, a thousand more years of that wasn't very appealing. Not without Michelle.

She took his hand again, and they reappeared behind the doors, and suddenly their task wasn't just ineffable, it was inevitable. Elijah had never thought much about the difference between the two words, but now, when he could hear, smell, and feel their fate – now he was afraid. Michelle didn't know what was waiting for them in Hell. He did. And it wasn't in his nature to put his faith in a miracle, one that would spare them from the pit and send them somewhere else. No, they weren't that lucky, and the only faith he'd ever had was in her. Squeezing her hand, he kept his fears to himself. He knew she was afraid, too. Adding to it would just be cruel, when they were both so close to doing the one thing that was right for both Heaven and Hell – and, in a way, rebelling against both. Fitting. Elijah liked that.

"So would I," Elijah shouted back, smiling in spite of himself. Laughing like that, she'd never looked more angelic, and he'd never loved her more. He wished this moment could last a little longer, but it couldn't. Every second counted. He gripped her hand tighter. "When I give you the signal, pull, Angel! As hard as you can!" He didn't say what the signal was. He didn't have to. She'd know.

Leaning in, he kissed her, one last time, and he pulled.

The Gate closed.
