Survive, Boy, Survive

Chapter 24

Sam said" So, what, Cas is human?" Dean was laying on a table, I was laying on the bench.
Dean said" Ish. I mean, he's got no grace, no wings, no... harp, whatever the hell else  he had."
" Okay. Where'd he crash-land?"
" Called me from a payphone from Longmont, Colorado. I told him just to make for the bunker."
" Well, you think he can handle a road trip like that?"
" Well, Cas is a big boy. Things go breaking bad, he knows our number. Right now, I got bigger worries."
" The fallen angels?"
" Yeah. I mean, thanks to Metatron, we now have a couple of thousand confused, loose nukes walking around down here."
" What do you think they're gonna do?"
" I got no damn clue."
" What about Crowley? You, uh..." He clicked his tongue,
I said" You did kill him, right?" I sat up,
Dean said" I would have loved nothing better than to ice that limey bitch. But then I thought to myself, what would Sam Winchester do?"
" I'd have... stabbed him in the brain."
" Oh. Well, I figured the king of hell might know a few things, so why not Zero Dark Thirty his ass?" He got up, walking to the car, Sam and I followed,
" Wait. So, Crowley is alive?" Dean opened the trunk and we saw Crowley,
" Oh, yeah. He's the junk in my trunk." Sam chuckled, I smiled a little, okay... this could work to our advantage.

Sam led Crowley in, I was behind him,
Sam said" Hey. All good?"
Dean said" Is it ever. Come on." Sam started leading Crowley down the stairs, I rolled my eyes.

They came back in,
Kevin said" What's Crowley doing here? Why isn't he dead?! Why aren't you stabbing him right now?!"
Dean said" All right, all right. Chill out, Kevin, okay? We need him."
" What?"
Sam said" Kevin, look, if we can get Crowley to give us the name of every demon he's got topside, we can hunt them down- all of them."
Dean said" He will break, okay? And when he does, we'll hold him down while you knife him. Then we all go out for ice cream and strippers."
" Just stay away from him, all right?"
Kevin said" So, now what?"
Dean said" I got to make some phone calls. You need to hit the angel tablet, see if you can find anything on the spell that Metatron used to empty out heaven."
Sam said" Yeah, maybe we can reverse it before the god squad does too much damage."
" Yeah, if we're lucky. All right. Check the net for anything angel-y."
" Or demon-y."
" Or monster-y or ghost-y or- It's gonna be a busy year."

I walked... well, limped... into the library, I heard Kev,
He said" Old enough. And I'm with the FBI, so you have to do what I say or-" I rubbed my eyes then noticed Sam and Dean gone. Huh? I went to Kevin, tilting my head," Cabo last June. That's my reason. Oh, my favorite's you in a sombrero doing a body shot off some naked guy in a luchador mask. Super classy. 'Cause I'm Kevin friggin' Solo. So, unless you want this forwarded to your commanding officer, Major Velasquez, I suggest you give my guys anything they want. You understand? Yes... sir." I hit his arm as I sat down, pulling my knee up to rest my head on. He out his phone down and put it on speaker,
Dean said" Kevin? What the hell did you just do?"
" All military computers are linked to the same network."
" And?"
" I hacked it."
" Hey, Kevin. Good job, buddy." He hung up, I looked at Kevin, then rubbed my eyes again, yawning. If I get the zoomies, I'll wig out, I can't even run it off with my ankle like this.

I walked into the library, Kevin was slightly freaked out.
I said" What is it?"
Kevin said" Some woman called one of their phones, coordinates, and hunters and-"
" Some woman?" 
" Yeah, Dean said she's the bad guy. Look for anything on the Knights of hell." My eyes glowed, and a book zoomed across the room on it's own." River?"
I growled" Abaddon..." I breathed heavily, black smoke circled me... inclosing me inside...

I appeared in the backseat of the impala, Dean nearly swerved.
He said" River!" I glared at him, my eyes glowed," I knew I should have told Kevin not to tell you."
I said" You're not going up against Abaddon alone! She's kicked your asses before, she'll do it again!" The ground shook, my voice was distorted,
Sam said" Okay, you're not wrong, River. But, I'm pretty sure she's kicked your ass too."
" Try me! I dare you!" I glared at him instead, the car started sputtering, slowly stopping.
Dean said" All right! Power down! I'm not gonna send your smartass back to the bunker." I let the car go, he continued driving," But you're not going in there all cocky, all right? You're already busted up enough."
" Crowley told Abaddon I had enough power to be a knight myself!"
" That's just great."
———
Dean said" What happened here?"
Sam said" A local chemical plant sprung a leak years ago. They evacuated three square blocks. Guess it's still contaminated."
" Wait, so this whole place is poison?"
" Yeah. That's not gonna help." Sam and I started walking,
" It doesn't hurt." Dean followed us.
