A World In Which I Was Me

Chapter 5

Alright so we have maybe a minute before who knows how many guards start barging in here, we need a fucking plan" Jasper rambled as he tried adjusting his grip on the gun. The others simply tried to take a deep breath and not argue with him

"Alright. Plan. Alex is going to speed ahead and take out as many guns as she can, I'll lay down an ice sheet making them lose their balance, and then we go all rage monster on their ass" Avis hadn't come up with a battle strategy in years but it seemed to just come out naturally. Alex smirked impressed and Cas nodded thinking the plan was probably the best for everyone.

"One question" Cas piped up "If Sam and Dean don't get the message how are we getting out of here?" Avis thought for a moment and then shook her head

"As relevant as that question is, we gotta focus on actually getting out first..." Suddenly the basement door flew open and around 15 guards made their way into the basement. Their confident stance and low numbers gave Avis hope that they had no idea the three were no longer powerless "Damn I really wish there was some cool ass music playing right now" Alex and Jasper let out a small laugh and Cas smirked, not being able to help but think of Dean.

'Please be on your way...' He thought to himself and took a deep breath.

There was a gust of wind and suddenly Alex was standing on the opposite side of the room holding all their guns. Avis took that as her signal and raised her hands, her eyes glowed and she crashed her hands onto the ground, and ice formed underneath all the guards. A few fell, but a couple managed to keep themselves steady, though they didn't seem to want to stick around for the fight.

Avis thought about simply having Cas knock them out when a gunshot went off and one of the guards fell from a gunshot to the head. Everyone turned to Jasper who was wide-eyed.

"Oops," He gave awkward smile, and Avis facepalmed.

"So much for the less brutal way," She held out her hands to her sides, and swords of ice formed in them. A large smile grew on her face at the familiar feeling and she charged towards the guards, having no trouble making her way across the ice.

Alex on the other hand was slightly struggling and accidentally crashing into every guard she got near, knocking a couple of them out.

"Well, it's a unique approach but why stop while you're ahead right?" She hyped herself up, now simply attempting to gracefully collide with everyone she could.

Jasper managed to get shots into 3 more guards, one to the leg, another in the stomach, and one unfortunate guy who got one right in the crotch.

"Oh, damn that's gotta hurt." Jasper made a pained face and raised the gun again trying to cover the girls.

Cas on the other hand was handling the new guards trying to make their way into the room. He was the only technically bulletproof one, so their guns were useless.

Almost simultaneously the three finished taking out the first 15 guards and made their way to help Cas.

After a few more brutal hits and painfully placed gun wounds, they got through the door. All they saw was a simple hallway but they all couldn't help but smile as a small glimmer of light shined through a nearby window. So close.

"Alright we aren't done-" Avis started but was cut off by a burst of painful laughter.

"Wow I have to say I'm impressed, not many people can surprise me but you Ms. Ward, now you definitely have" They saw the only and only Dr. Kane Chase sauntering down the hall.

Cas almost screamed at himself. Now it all made sense, how he was overpowered, how such a powerful being could be contained, how he was connected to all of this.

"Lucifer?" The other three looked at him like he was crazy, but Chase's smirk simply grew.

"C'mon Cassie, why'd you have to blow my cover? I kind of liked playing the role of Doctor around here." Cas's jaw clenched, he wanted more than anything to knock that's mug smirk off that guy's face.

"Hold up, like Lucifer Lucifer? Satan Lucifer?" Avis questioned wishing she had her actual sword with her right now, Cas nodded solemnly.

"I'm honored you've heard of me Ms.Ward didn't know I was relevant in Olympus" Lucifer glanced Avis up and down, almost as if he was studying her. Alex and Jasper had paled, not ready to make any move in retaliation but Avis's stance was unwavering

"Y'know I knew your dad, it's no wonder you became such a dick" Cas's eyebrows raised at this, she had met Chuck? When?

Lucifer's eyes glowed red and Avis was a little satisfied with herself for gaining a rise out of him. The roar of an engine outside made everyone freeze.

"Alright as fun as this has been-" Lucifer raised his hand and snapped his finger. That moment seemed to last for years.

One second all four stood together and the next, red had filled their view. But before Avis could see which of her friends was just murdered, Cas's arms wrapped around her, and with a flutter of wings, they were standing outside near the Impala.

"Cas!" Dean ran over to him, seeing him covered in blood, holding a random lady also covered in blood, was a bit odd but damn. He missed him.

"Cas! What the hell, I need to go back- Alex o-or Jasper" She hadn't realized but a couple of tears had fallen from her eyes, she harshly removed herself from the angel's grip, and looked at him

"Avis if we stayed there, we would have died. Lucifer doesn't take prisoners-" He started not ready to acknowledge the Winchesters yet.

"Exactly! Which means that Jasper and Alex are probably dead!" She ran a hand through her hair but stopped when she realized she was drenched in their blood. Her breath started to speed up and it felt like her heart was being crushed "Cas I-"

Before she could finish her sentence, Cas touched two fingers to her head, and she closed her eyes. Before Avis could fall to the ground, he caught her and picked her up fireman style. He then placed her in the backseat of the Impala and turned to the Winchesters.

"Hello," He gave them a small smile, thankful to see them for the first time in days. They were still trying to absorb what just happened in front of them but returned the look. Dean went forward, hugging the angel.

At the moment he didn't seem to care that he was covered in blood, he was just relieved to see his best friend again. They stayed like that for a moment, then Dean cleared his throat and stepped back. Sam gave him a pat on the shoulder, not really wanting to get blood on his clothes.

"So, what the hell man?" Dean gestured around them and sighed.

"I'll explain in the car, we have to get out of here."
