(Season 5 x 2)

Sam and Calliope stand outside Bobby's hospital room, watching as the older man sits in a wheelchair starting out the window. They can tell that he's still not taking the news of not being able to walk again hard, Dean walks up to the two of them envelope in his hand, "It's been, like, three days now" Dean says looking in on Bobby, "We gotta cheer him up" Dean says to the two of them, "Maybe you should give him a back rub, Calliope" he says looking at her.

"Seriously Dean" Calliope says to him.

"Well, what, then?" he asks her.

"Look, we might have to wrap our heads around the idea...that Bobby might just bounce back this time" Sam says to the other two who just look at him, "What's in the envelope?" he then asks Dean.

"Went down to Radiology" Dean says taking the films out, "got some glamour shots" he says passing the x-ray to Sam and Calliope. Sam takes it holding it up looking at what is Dean's ribs, "Let's just say the doctors are baffled" Dean tells them as they see what is the Enochian symbols on his ribs.

"Holy crap" Sam remarks.

"Yeah, well Cass carved you one too" Dean tells him, as Sam's phone starts ringing. Sam hands the x-ray back to Dean as he takes the cell out of his pocket.

"Hello.....Castiel?" Sam then says.

"Speak of the devil" Dean says.

"Uh, St. Martin's Hospital. Why, what are you--? Cass?" Sam says looking at his phone, and he looks at Calliope and Dean who look confused.

After a few minutes Castiel shows up at the hospital, walking over to the three of them, "Cass, Cell phone, really? Since when do angels need to reach out and touch someone?" Dean says to him.

"You're hidden from angels now, all angels. I won't be able to simply-"Castiel starts to explain.

"Enough foreplay" they then hear Bobby say, "Get over here and lay your damn hands on" he says and they all look at him, "Get healing, Now!" he demands.

Castiel sighs, "I can't" he tells Bobby.

Bobby looks at him turning his wheelchair around to face them, "Say again" he asks him.

Castiel steps into the room, "I'm cut off from heaven...much of heaven's power. Certain things I can do, certain things I can't" he explains to Bobby.

"You're telling me you lost your mojo just in time to get me stuck in this trap the rest of my life" Bobby says anger rising in his voice.

"I'm sorry" he tells Bobby.

"Shove it up your ass" Bobby tells him, turning away from them.

"Well, at least he's talking now" Dean tries to quietly say to Sam and Calliope.

"I heard that" Bobby calls out to them.

Castiel turns around to look at the three of them, "I don't have much time, we need to talk" he says to them.

"Okay" Dean says to him.

"You're plan to kill Lucifer—" Castiel says to him.

"Yeah, you wanna help?" Dean asks.

"No, it's foolish, it can't be done" the angel tells him.

"Oh, well thanks for the support" Dean responds to him.

"But I believe I have the solution. There is someone, besides Michael, strong enough to take on Lucifer. Strong enough to stop the apocalypse" Castiel explains to them,

"Who exactly is that?" Calliope then asks.

"The one who resurrected me and put you three on that airplane. The one who began everything" Castiel says to her as he looks back at Dean, "God" he says to them. "I'm gonna find God" he adds.

The three of them step into Bobby's hospital room, "God?" Dean asks him, as he closes the door behind the three of them.

"Yes" Castiel replies.

"God" Dean says again to him.

"Yes, he isn't in Heaven" Castiel explains, "He has to be somewhere" he adds.

"Try New Mexico, I hear he's on a tortilla" Dean says sarcastically.

Castiel thinks about this for a second, "No, he's not on any flatbread" he says to Dean.

"Listen, Chuckles, even if there is a God, he is either dead...and that's the generous theory—" Dean says.

"He is out there Dean" Castiel says.

"Or he's up and kicking and doesn't give a rat's ass about any of us" Dean tells him, "I mean, look around you" he says stepping around Castiel. "The world is in the toilet. We are literally at the end of days here, and he's off somewhere, drinking booze out of a coconut, all right" Dean says to him.

"Enough" Castiel says anger in his voice, as he turns to look at Dean, "This is not a theological issue, it's strategic. With God's help, we can win" he adds.

"It's a pipe dream, Cass" Dean tells him.

Castiel steps closes to Dean, "I killed two angels this week. Those are my brothers, I'm hunted. I rebelled and I did it, all of it for you, and you failed. You and your brother destroyed the world... and I lost everything for nothing. So, keep your opinions to yourself" Castiel says bitterness in his voice.

"You didn't drop in just to tear us a new hole, what is it you want?" Bobby then asks.

"I did come for something, an amulet" Castiel tells Bobby.

"An amulet? What kind?" Bobby asks him.

"Very rare, very powerful. It burns hot in God's presence, it'll help me find him" the angel explains.

"What, like, God emf?" Sam asks, and Castiel nods.

"Well, I don't know, I got nothing like that" Bobby tells him.

"I know, you don't" Castiel tells him, as he then turns to look at Dean. Castiel then looks down at the necklace around Dean's neck, the one that Sam had kept when he had died and had given back when Dean was resurrected.

"What? This?" Dean asks him.

"May I borrow it?' Castiel then asks.

"No" Dean bluntly replies.

"Dean, give it to me" Castiel asks him.

Dean takes a moment thinking it over, as he then reaches down and starts to take the necklace off, "All right, I guess" he says as he takes it off, then goes to hand it to Castiel, "Don't lose it" he warns him, as Castiel takes it. "Oh, great, now I feel naked" he says.

"I'll be in touch" he says to Dean, who looks away as Castiel then disappears.

"When you find God, tell him to send legs" Bobby then shouts.

As the four of them stand there taking in what Castiel just did, Bobby's cell starts ringing, "Hello....I can't hear you...Where are you? Colora—Colorado? River Pass, Colorado?...Rufus? You there? Rufus?" After a minute Bobby hangs up the phone then looks over at the other three.

Dean, Calliope and Sam head off for River Pass, Colorado to go help Rufus, as Dean pulls the impala up to the bridge going into the town, he stops as half of the bridge is gone. The three of them look at one another, as they then step out, and walk to the broken edge, where Dean kicks a rock off. "This is the only road in or out" Dean says looking over at Sam and Calliope. Sam takes his cell phone out and flips it open holding it up trying to get a signal.

"No signal" he tells Dean.

"Rufus was right. Demons got this place locked down" Dean says.

"Looks like we're hiking in" Sam then says.

"Good thing I'm wearing my hiking boots" Calliope remarks.

"And the hits just keep on coming" Dean says as he heads back to the trunk of the Impala. The three of them gather their weapons, and get ready to head into the town.

"You think you can work your mojo to point out the demons" Dean says looking at Calliope.

"Not sure, ever since the well, the night the devil got lose, my powers haven't really been working too good" she tells him as she loads her colt .45.

"Well, let's go" Dean then says, and he closes the trunk and the three of them head off for town. Entering town they see things destroyed, a car flipped over in the middle of the road, and they hold their guns out, as Dean and Sam check the car for anyone inside. Dean checks his side and sees no one as Sam goes on the opposite shaking his head as he sees no one as well. As they continue on Calliope gets a weird sensation, that there is something wrong in this town. The three of them come upon another car, this one still turned on, and the driver's door wide open, the radio playing, Spirit In The Sky. Sam steps closer making sure no one is inside, and he reaches in shutting the car off.

Walking by a nice red mustang, Dean whistles admiring the car, as they continue on coming across another vehicle this one with blood on the ground outside it, and a stroller trapped under the front wheel. The three of them look around the town, trying to piece together just what was going on. As the three of them start to continue on, they all hear a gun cock behind them, and turn around aiming there weapons at the person behind them.

Recognition comes across all their faces, "Ellen" Sam says to her.

"Hello, Boys, and is that little Calliope Atwell" she says as Calliope smiles at her, and she steps toward them.

"Ellen, what the heck is going on here?" Dean asks her, as she then tosses Holy Water on Dean's face, and points her gun at him, her hand shaking.

"We're us" Dean tells her, and she lowers her gun. She then walks through Sam and Dean, and the three of them follow her toward the church that was behind them.

Entering the church they see salt across the doorway, and a devils trapped painted right inside. Sam closes the door behind them, and Ellen looks at the three of them. "Real glad to see you, boys" she says as she hugs Dean, "I can't believe how big you've gotten Callie" she says to her as she then lets go of Dean. Ellen then slaps Dean across the face, "The can of whoop-ass I ought to open on you. You can't pick up a phone? What are you, allergic to giving me peace of mind? I gotta find out that you're alive from Rufus" Ellen shouts at Dean.

"Sorry, Ellen" Dean apologizes.

"Yeah, you better be. You better put me on speed dial, kid" she then says to Dean.

"Yes ma'am" he tells her. She just shakes her head as she starts to walk away, Dean looks back at Calliope and Sam who both just shrug their shoulders at him,

"So, what's going on, Ellen?" Dean asks as the three of them follow her down a set of stairs.

"More than I can handle alone" she tells him.

"How many demons are there?" Sam asks her.

"Pretty much the whole town minus the dead people, and these guys" she tells them as she comes to a stop outside a set of doors.

"So this is it, right?" she asks looking back at them, "End times. It's gotta be" she continues.

"Seems like it" Sam says as Ellen then knocks on the door.

"It's me" she says to whoever was behind it. The door then slowly opens, and they follow Ellen inside seeing a rather small group of people all in the room. "This is Sam, Dean and Calliope, they're hunters here to help" Ellen tells the group.

"You guys hip to this whole demon thing?" one of the men standing by the door asks.

"Yeah, are you?" Dean asks him.

"My wife's eyes turned black. She came at me with a brick. Kinda makes you embrace the paranormal" a man in a suit and glasses then says.

Dean looks at Ellen, "All right, catch us up" he asks her.

"I doubt I know much more than you. Rufus called, said he was in town investigating omens. All of a sudden the whole town was possessed. Me and Jo were nearby-" Ellen explains.

"You were hunting with Jo?" Dean suddenly asks.

"Yeah, for awhile now" she tells him, "We got here and the place—Well, the place was like you see it. Couldn't find Rufus, then me and Jo got separated. I was out looking when I found you." She tells them.

"Don't worry, We'll find her" Dean says.

"Either way, these people cannot just sit here, we gotta get them out, now" Sam tells her.

"No, it's not that easy, I've been trying, Already made a run for it once" Ellen tells him.

"What happened?" Calliope then asks.

"There uses to be 20 of us" she tells her as they look around to see that the numbers are almost half that.

"Well, there's four of us" Dean says to her.

"You don't know what it's like out there. Demons are everywhere, we won't cover everybody" Ellen tells him.

"What if we get everyone guns?" Sam then asks.

"Sam, I don't think they can all handle those" Calliope says to him.

"More salt we can fire at once, more demons we can keep away" Sam says to her.

Dean thinks about this for a second, "There's a sporting goods store we passed on Main on the way in, I bet they got guns" Dean says as he puts his duffle bag down.

"All right" Sam says putting his bag down too, "You two stay, we'll go" Sam says to Calliope and Ellen.

"What about--?" Ellen starts to say.

"If Jo and Rufus are out there, we'll bring them back" Sam tells her.

"Be careful you too" Calliope says as the boys just look at her, before going to leave the Church.

"I never got to tell you how sorry I am about your mom and dad Calliope" Ellen says to her, as they watch the boys leave.

"Thanks Ellen" Calliope tells her.

"So how the heck did you get messed up with those boys?" Ellen then asks her.

"The vamp that took my parents from me, Dean took his head" she tells him.

"Really, how did that happen?" she asks her as the woman sit down and wait for the boys to come back.

"Bobby sent them to help me, cause he didn't want me handling the vamp on my own" Calliope explains to her.

"Thank God he did, cause then you might not be here" Ellen says to her.

"Yeah I probably wouldn't, then something happened with Bobby, and I kind just stuck around with those boys" Calliope tells her.

"You know the mistake you are making right, the trouble that follows the name Winchester around" Ellen then says to her.

"Oh, I know, I just can't walk away though" Calliope tells her looking away for a moment.

"You're falling for one of them aren't you" she then says to Calliope, who doesn't say a word, "Oh Calliope, that is not a good thing to do" she says to her, "Which one?" she then asks.

"Dean...but falling in love with him is not what I planned Ellen, what am I going to do?" Calliope asks as she realizes tears swelling up in her eyes.

"Run, run as far away as possible" she tells her.

"I don't think I can" Calliope tells her.

"Those boys are going to cause you loads of heartbreak, just ask Jo" Ellen then says. Calliope doesn't say anymore, as she then looks around at the other people in the room. She was trying to get a sense of the group, on who might be willing to fight and you won't, but there was something about the one man that had spoken earlier, the one in the suit. Calliope looked at him, noticing the ring on his finger, there was something different about it and him, but she couldn't figure out what it might be.
