"Bobby!"
Eden's arms wrapped around the man's shoulders. She never felt more loved than with Bobby. He was her guardian, despite her being an adult. He was her mentor, guide, and father figure. He patted her back, then gave her a squeeze, and let go.
"Good to see you, Eden." Bobby sighed. She stepped back in confusion. Not only does Bobby rarely call her by her name, but he smelled different. I'm overthinking, She thought. Sam and Dean hugged him next.
"Good to see you, boys, all in one piece," Bobby grunted.
"You weren't followed, were you?" Dean questioned.
"You mean by angels, demons, or Sam's new superfan?" Bobby remarked. Sam chuckled.
"You heard."
"Did you hear about Sam and E--" Dean began. Eden stomped on Dean's foot.
"So...sword of Michael, huh?" She questioned quickly, changing topics.
"You think we're talking about the actual sword from the actual archangel?" Dean asked, his voice dripping with the tone of 'are-you-stupid.'
"You better friggin' hope so," Bobby answered, opening a book on the table. He revealed a painting, which showed Michael, who looked like a winged woman and the other angels like naked babies with wings. "That's Michael. Toughest son of a bitch they got. He commands the heavenly host. During the last big dust-up upstairs, he's the one who booted Lucifer's ass to the basement. Did it with that sword."
"So if we can find it..." Sam began. "We can kick the devil's ass all over again. All right. So, where do we start?"
"Divvy up and start reading-try and make sense of Chuck's nonsense." Bobby shrugged. Sam walked towards the stack of books Bobby brought. He paused. "Kid, you alright?"
"No, actually. Bobby, this is all my fault. I'm sorry. Lilith didn't break the final seal. Lilith was the final seal." Sam revealed.
"Sam, stop." Dean interrupted. "I killed her, and I set Lucifer free." Sam sighed, making Bobby and Eden's faces fall. "You guys warned me about Ruby, the demon blood, but I didn't listen. I brought this on."
Bobby walked close to Sam. "You're damn right you didn't listen. You were reckless and selfish and arrogant." He snapped.
"I'm sorry," Sam whispered.
"Oh, yeah? You're sorry you started Armageddon? This kind of thing don't get forgiven, boy. If, by some miracle, we pull this off, and I can't speak for Eden but I can sure as hell speak for myself, I want you to lose my number. You understand me?"
Eden looked at Bobby. She'd never seen him so enraged. And she was angry as well. Eden stared at Sam, who was staring at Bobby. When he realized Bobby was too disgusted to return his glances, Sam turned to Eden. "I'm sorry," Sam mouthed.
Eden shook her head. An 'I'm sorry' wouldn't pull them out of this. Wouldn't bring back the hunters she knew that were killed by the demons released. Wouldn't bring back Jody or her kids if something were to happen. Wouldn't help them put away the angel who could kill them all.
Eden then turned to Dean. Dean looked at her. "Eden--" He began.
"Save it, Dean." She replied, stepping outside. She could feel Dean following her, but continued walked out of the motel and sat on a fire escape staircase. She pulled out a cigarette.
"Sam started Hell on Earth. He jumpstarted the Apocalypse. Sorry if I can't stand in the same room as him." Eden told Dean. He stood in front of her silently. Sam came out with a few books.
"Sent to the library." He explained, glancing at Eden in hopes she'd say something. Eden took a large drag from the cancer stick, staring at him wordlessly.
"I'll, uh, call you," Dean mumbled, handing him the keys. Sam nodded and walked away.
"If Jody, Claire, or Alex end up dead--- If Bobby ends up dead because he started the Apocalypse that we still don't know how to end specifically, I'm gonna release an all-new type of Hell, Dean," Eden stated.
"I get it, okay, but it's over with and now we need to stop it. We can't turn back time---"
"It isn't over, Dean! It's just started!" Eden shouted. Dean stayed quiet. "You know that I love you and Sam, Dean, but I'm not gonna stay by his side if someone I love ends up dead. Bobby, Jody, and the girls are the closest thing I have to family. I'm not losing them. So when all of this is said and done, you better pray everyone is still alive." Eden said, taking her last drag and putting out the cigarette. She stood up and Dean led the way inside.
Bobby, Dean, and Eden sat in silence while flipping through pages. Eden couldn't help but find peace in the smell of the books. It reminded her of her room at Bobby's house. Speaking of Bobby, Eden still felt off about him. He kept looking at Dean, scanning his face to see if he knew anything. He also smelled like rotten eggs.
Sulfur.
Eden's eyes widened in realization.
Dean shifted through his things, then handed him a card. "It's a card for my dad's lockup in upstate New York. Read it."
""Castle Storage. 42 Rover Hill." So you think your dad had the Michael sword all this time? Good enough for me." Bobby recited, a wicked grin overbearing his face. How would she kill it if it was possessing Bobby? Any physical harm done to the demon happens to Bobby. Still, Eden knew Bobby would've wanted her to get the son of a bitch out.
She glanced from Bobby to the wall, sending him flying. "Bobby!" Dean shouted.
"It isn't Bobby, Dean!" Eden replied, standing up and approaching the man. He stood up quickly and began his attempt to move Eden from her place. She didn't budge. Eden began lifting Bobby up the wall. "Get out of my dad, you son of a goddamn whore." She instructed, her vision tinting green.
But they weren't just tinted, they were glowing. Dean stared in shock as she pulled the demon from his body and the black smoke disappeared. She lowered Bobby, who coughed violently.
"We need to go. Now."
