Nova Winchester, the nephilim

in the hours before

Can you remember
Who you were,
Before the world
Told you who you should be.

K.W.

"What do you mean you lost him?"

I sigh, "I don't know Dean. He was there one second and then gone the next!"

"Well Cas can't fly."

"Yes, thank you Sam. I know."

"How did he leave? He must have gone through the front door!"

"Mary, I'm sure Jack or I would have noticed if Castiel just decided to up and leave."

"Well what-"

"Guys!" Jack yells.

"Look."

He points towards the desk that is in Cas' room.

Dean walks over and picks it up.

He quickly skims it before looking over to Sam.

They have a weird eye talk before Dean reads it out loud,

"Dear Winchesters,

I know you have my boy.

So until we can trade for what's mine I took something that belongs to you.

Castiel. Your third lover.

Meet at the warehouse on Elk Street when you want to switch back.

xoxo,

Lucifer"

"My father has Castiel?" Jack asks timidly.

Dean ignores him, "We're getting Cas back. Tonight."

"Wait, Dean, are you sure it's the best idea to just go in guns blazing without any idea of what Lucifer has up his sleeve?" Sam tries to reason.

"It's always worked before, Sam." Dean states, "And besides, it's Lucifer, we know him. He wants the kid right?"

We all nod.

"So this is what we're gonna do..."

Jack's POV

After Dean finishes telling us the plan I walk back to room to prepare for the battle to come.

I make a stop at Nova's room to check on her.

I open the door to find her sitting on her bed listening to music.

I tap on her shoulder to get her attention, "Hi."

She takes out her earbuds and turns to me before smiling, "Hey."
