Re: 2/2
Jacen was under no illusions that Sam had given into the addiction entirely now. He wasn't expecting to get out of here and so he'd thrown himself into the blood drinking. It was power, he could sense that too, it radiated off him in waves. Dark power called to Jacen in all its forms, it did so when Rumplestilskin was here, from Regina Mills, from a number of others with darkness in their hearts and yes, Sam had that now. And Jacen knew he probably should have found another way, told him to focus on something good, but hate was as powerful an emotion as love and Lucifer was using his love against him. His wife, his daughter, his friends. It was then only sensible to give in to the darkness that had been for so long brewing inside him.
The blood only amplified what was there.
"I'm ready, I've been in more impossible situations, believe it or not and I tend to come out of them on top. Except for that last time, but even then it was on my terms, and that's the thing Sam. You need to try and keep this on your terms. You need to fight, even if we lose here today I want you to promise me you'll keep on fighting. Never let go of those emotions and never let go of that power you're feeling now. Use it, become it, do you understand me?"
As for getting out, getting free. Jacen grinned, slightly amused he hadn't needed to keep anything from Sam. The man was agreeing it was the last resort.
"If you don't I'll get out, I'll find a way even if it involves killing you. Its why you asked me. Because frankly, you know I'll do it if I have to, with no guilt. Oh I'll miss you, you're actually a friend in an odd sort of way, but needs must. And my first priority is protecting the displaced. I'll get out. I'll withstand him for long enough to run and I'll do just that."
The lightning finally ceased, Jacen ready to fight, ready to taunt, ready to do whatever it took."
"After you" he said simply glancing across at the door to where the Devil seemed to be hiding himself away. Or, he supposed more accurately, waiting it out.
