Two Worlds Combine

Chapter 21

DEAN'S POV

The music coming through the speakers drowned out my thoughts as I drove. I made an exception to the rule and let Sam pick the music for the six hour drive ahead of us. Of course, his taste in music was total crap, but I endured it. Whatever it was was on the verge of making my ears bleed. The shit eating grin on Sam's face said he knew it was pure torture for me. I rolled my eyes and kept driving. 

Six hours of torture went by surprisingly fast. Before we knew it we were driving up to the address Crowley had texted me. Sammy and I got out of the car and examined the building for exits and windows we could easily get through if need be. Crowley being helpful never really came with a good gut feeling. I walked to the trunk and grabbed the Blade out of my bag. I ignored the sudden feeling it gave me and stuffed it in the waistband of my pants along with my gun. Can't be too careful. I thought. 

As soon as we reached the main door, a drunk hooker came stumbling out. She ran right into me. When she saw who she ran into, she formed a smile on her face. The scent of vodka and cheap perfume was almost enough to make me gag. She placed her hand on my cheek, "Hey, you- you look like a man that needs some company. I'll do- do anything for enough." she fumbled over her words. I managed a smile while I slowly took her hand away, "Uh, I'll pass." The hooker scoffed at my rejection and stumbled off back to wherever she came from. I looked at Sam, "Well, better welcoming party than we usually get." He rolled his eyes at me and walked into the bar. I smiled and shrugged as I followed him.

We looked around and almost immediately saw Crowley. He was kinda out of place with his black expensive suit and his big ass demon body guard standing near him. He was pretty focused on the drink in front of him though. Didn't even notice us until Paul Bunyan with black eyes stopped us. Crowley waved us through, "They're fine, Luther." The body guard looked at him in shock but then did what an obedient dog would, and let us through.  

I sat on one side of Crowley while Sam sat on the other. "You look like crap." I said flat out. Crowley looked at me and rolled his eyes. "Well don't you know how to make a demon melt." I cocked my head to the side and smirked. "Where is he?" Crowley finished off his drink and glanced at Sam before he answered. "Hard to say. I'm fairly sure he went to find a strip club. I'm just glad he didn't take me with him."

"Crowley, you were supposed to watch him!" Sam yelled. It was loud enough for the rest of the people in the bar to look up from their drinks. "Dean's got a week left, do you know-"

"Sam." I cut him off. He looked at me and I shook my head to try and get him to calm down. He took a breath and sighed. "I tried to keep up with him, alright? Do you know how bloody exhausting it is to constantly drink?" Crowley retaliated. I smiled, "Yeah, actually." 

He sighed, "I put one of my men on him." He reached in his coat pocket and took out his phone. As he put the phone to his ear I felt a chill go up my spine. I eyed around the bar cautiously, watching for any sudden movement. A ring interrupted my concentration. I looked over to the door leading to the back exit. I was standing in the doorway with a severed head in one hand and a phone in the other. 

All the people in the bar screamed and ran when they realized what was happening. It was just the five of us left. I leaned over to Crowley and cocked my head towards the severed head in his hands, "That the guy you put on him?" I asked. Crowley glared at dick me with anger and annoyance. "That would be him." He had an evil grin on his face. Wow, is that really what I look like when I lose control? I thought. I knew he was the current bad guy, but damn he looked bad ass. He was dressed in all black, and the leather jacket he was sporting looked a lot like my old brown one. 

"Maybe next time you should pick a demon that can actually tail?" he spat out. I stepped in front of everyone and reached for the Blade. My heart stopped when I felt that it wasn't there. My gun either. I heard a throat clear, "Looking for something?" The hooker from earlier walked into the room with the Blade and my gun in her hands. I furrowed my brow, "Oh, you clever son of a bitch." The hooker handed the Blade to my evil clone. "Thanks. Here ya go." He handed the hooker a wad of cash. "Oh, and you can keep the gun. Maybe pawn it off."

"You cold hearted son of a bitch!" I pointed to the hooker, "You do anything to that gun before I find you, and you can be assured I will find you, you'll regret it." The hooker laughed off my threat and turned to leave. "I mean it!" I yelled after her as she vanished. My evil clone eyed me up and down. "Well, wanna get down to it? You should probably just surrender. I do have the Blade after all. It's not really a fair fight. Hell, even without the Blade I'd kick your ass. Your humanity gets in your way, Dean." 

I smirked, "Thanks for the pointers, but I think I'm fine. It is five against one." I gestured behind me. The laugh that escaped his mouth was bone chilling. "That so?" He looked behind us towards the door. Instantly there were six demons standing behind us. Sam looked at me, "You wanna antagonize him anymore, Dean?" I glared at Sam and frowned. I jumped when Crowley started yelling at the demons. "What is this? You think you can go against me, your King? Oh, you're gonna live to regret this! I swear to you you will be tortured like you've never been tortured before!" 

The demons seemed startled at Crowley's outburst, but unfortunately for us they stood their ground. I looked back him. "So," I formed a grin on my face, "what exactly is your plan here? Kill us? Hate to disappoint but you do that and you die too." 

He replicated the same cocky grin that I had. "Not kill. More like... play. It'll be a great bonding experience for us." he said. I glanced at Sam. He was slowly inching his hand to his flask full of holy water in his back pocket. I glared back at dick me and clenched my jaw. "What about him?" I gestured towards Crowley, who was standing behind me. "Sure, turning a couple of asshats against him is one thing. What're gonna do when the Loyalists find out? They're not just gonna roll over."

"Yeah, I was worried about that for a second, but you'd be surprised how many of his so called Loyalists signed up after I hung my first 'I want you' poster." he said with a smile. Again, I glanced at Sam. He had his hand in his pocket. We made eye contact, and with a nod from me, Sammy swung around and drenched the demons with holy water. As I lunged forward I could hear their screams. It was like music to my ears.

Dick me brought up the Blade, but I managed to move out of the way. I kicked him in the chest as hard as I could. He fell backwards onto the nearest pool table. The Blade slid across the table and onto the floor. I went for it, but was grabbed from behind.

He pushed me onto the pool table. My head managed to land on one of the pool balls. For a second, the one thing I could focus on was the ringing in my ears. But then I saw a pool stick come down for my throat. I put my hands up and caught the stick at the last second. It was inches away from my neck. He was pushing down so hard I thought the stick was gonna break in half.

He leaned down, "How do you think this is gonna work out? We are the same person, after all."

He was right, my humanity was getting in the way. I couldn't let him win and do something to Sammy. I did the one thing I could think of. I concentrated on the Blade, willing it to come to me. I looked at him and smiled, "I'm nothing like you."

I brought my knee up and into his stomach. He fell off of me and landed on the floor. I rolled back onto my feet and the next second the Blade was in my hands.

By the time he regained his stance, I had the Blade to his throat. "Now, remind me of who should surrender again?" I spat out. I looked behind him to see Sam and Crowley standing over the six demons. Crowley's body guard was dead on the floor, but that didn't exactly bring a tear to my eye.

Sam and I looked at each other and smiled. "Now, I think we've got an appointment in Heaven to get to."
