105. big showdown

Dean walks over to where Natalie, Larissa, the girls, and Bobby are standing at the back of Bobby's van.

"I still can't get used to you at eye level." Dean tells Bobby.

"So, was I right?" Bobby asks.

"As always, Yoda. Two stunt demons inside, just like you said." Dean says.

"Did you get it?" Bobby asks.

"Yeah, all the go juice Sammy can drink."

"You okay?"

"Not really. What do you got?"

"Not much. These look like omens to you?" Bobby hands Dean a newspaper. "Cyclone in Florida, temperature drop in Detroit, wildfires in L.A."

"Wait, what about Detroit?"

"Temp's dropped about 20 degrees, but only in a 5 block radius of downtown Motown."

"That's the one. Devil's in Detroit."

"Really? As far as foreboding goes, it's a little light in the loafers. You sure?"

"Yeah, I'm sure."

"Aw. Ain't he a little angel?" Dean teases, seeing Cas asleep in the backseat.

"Angels don't sleep." Sam says.

"Sam, I got a bad feeling about this." Dean says.

"Don't we all?" Natalie questions. She rests her head on top of Jacob's who is asleep with his head on her shoulder.

"Yeah, you'd be nuts to have a good feeling about it." Sam says.

"You know what I mean. Detroit. He always said he'd jump your bones in Detroit. Here we are." Dean says.

"Here we are." Sam echoes.

"Maybe this is him rolling out the red carpet, you know? Maybe he knows something that we don't." Dean says.

"Dean, I'm sure there's a shitload we don't. We just got to hope he doesn't know about the rings. Hey, um... on the subject, there's something I got to talk to you guys about." Sam says.

"What?" They both ask.

"This thing goes our way and I... Triply Lindy into that box... y-you two know I'm not coming back." Sam says.

"Yeah, I'm aware." Dean says.

"So you two got to promise me something." Sam says.

"Okay. Yeah. Anything." Dean says. Sam looks back at Natalie who nods.

"You got to promise not to try to bring me back." Sam says.

"What?" Natalie asks.

"What? No, I didn't sign up for that." Dean says.

"Guys--"

"Your Hell is gonna make mine and Natty's tour look like Graceland. You want us just to sit by and do nothing?" Dean asks.

"Yeah, fuck no, Sammy." Natalie argues.

"Once the cage is shut, you can't go poking at it. It's too risky." Sam says.

"No, no, no, no. As if I'm just gonna let you rot in there." Dean says.

"Yeah, no, me neither." Natalie argues.

"Yeah, you are. You don't have a choice." Sam says.

"You can't ask us to do this." Dean says.

"I'm sorry. You have to."
