Dean Winchester & Jensen Ackles Imagines

Ma'lak Box

(Placed in Season 14 Episode ending of 11 to Episode 12. Had to add Styx's Come Sail Away because it what those two episodes made me think of)

Dean: It's a Ma'lak box. ( Box shuts ) Secured and warded. Once inside... nothing gets out, not even an archangel. Especially an archangel.

Sam: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I've -- I've read about these, but no -- but no one's ever -- They're impossible to build.

Dean: Yeah, well, not so much.

Sam: That's your plan? You want to be buried alive?

Dean: Buried's not safe enough. Plan is, pay a little hush money, charter a boat to take me out to the Pacific. Splash.

Sam: You and Michael, trapped together -- for eternity?

Dean: Yeah.

Sam: You do realize how insane this is, right?

Dean: It's the only sane play I've got. Michael gets out, that's it for this world. And he will get out.

Sam: Well, how do you know that for sure?

Dean: Because I do. Because I can feel him in my head. That door is giving. I can feel it giving.

Sam: But there has to be another way.

Dean: There's not, okay? There -- Sam, you've tried. Cass has tried. Jack... And I love you for trying. But none of it's gonna work.

Sam: We don't know that.

Dean: Yeah, we do.

Sam: What?

Dean: Billie.

Sam: Billie?

Dean: She paid me a little visit. She said that there's only one way that this ends right. ( Box clatters ) And this is it -- this, right here, this box. So she gave up the special recipe, and all I had to do was the work. It's fate.

Sam: Since when do we believe in fate?

Dean: Now, Sam. Since now. ( Breathes sharply )

Sam: So... you came out here to see Donna, to see Mom on some -- some what? Some sick, secret farewell tour? You were gonna leave, and you weren't even gonna tell me. Me. Do you realize how messed up that is, how unfair that is? Not even telling Edythe Dean... The love of your life, the one carrying your child.

Dean: I didn't have a choice! Sam, you're the last person I could tell, the last person I could be around, 'cause you're the only one that could've talked me out of it. And I won't be talked out of it. I won't. I'm doing this. Now, you can either let me do it alone... or you could help me. But I'm doing this.

Sam: All right.

Dean wakes up from his nightmare. Sam comes out from the bathroom.

Sam: Oh, hey. Didn't mean to wake you. Sorry.

DEAN: No, it's just a... bad dream. It's fine.

SAM: You want to talk about it?

DEAN: No, I'm – No, I'm okay.

Sam nods his head.

DEAN: What're you doing? Why don't you get some sleep?

Sam sits down on the bed opposite from Dean.

Sam: You know, Dean, you don't have to act like what you're planning to do is just business as usual. I-I know you're scared.

Dean: Never said I wasn't scared. But it doesn't matter.
