038. RECRUITING ROWENA

The six are gathered in the library and call Rowena.

"Hello, boys, girls. I'm very sure I've done nothing that you know of to make you want to call, but how lovely to hear from you." Rowena says.

"Rowena, that's not... we, um..."

"You'll have to speak up." She tells Sam.

"We need your help." Dean states.

"Really?" Rowena asks.

"We must assemble our most powerful allies to rescue our family and confront the archangel Michael. Now, he's in an alternate universe so--"

"Ah, the handsome angel is there, isn't he? Hello, tweety pie." Rowena greets.

"Um, hello." Cas mumbles.

"Mm, didn't know you had a girlfriend, Cas." Ophelia jokingly says, a small smirk on her face.

"I don't." Cas states.

"Lads, lassies, obviously I'd love to help after what you... oh, Sam did for me, but I'm in the damp pacific northwest right now working on my own little project." Rowena states.

"Project?" Dean asks.

"What project?" Sam asks.

"Oh, nothing for you to worry about. Just checking a few items off my little to do list." Rowena says.

"Sure, that didn't sound ominous." Dean says sarcastically.

"Rowena, are you at a... party or something?" Sam asks.

"I am, but I'm surprised you recognize the sounds of a party, seeing as how you're all work and no play." Rowena says.

"Look, we didn't call to talk. We... the world is in danger, Rowena." Dean says.

"And I'm currently surrounded by art that makes me think the world should be in danger. Best of luck to you, boys and girls. My six little musketeers." Rowena hangs up.

"Damn it." Dean mutters.

"You know, she's right. You never go to parties." Cas says.

After learning that Rowena made a woman explode, the five hunters are on the way to where she is while Cas works on trying to get the angels to help them out.

It's nighttime and Dean is driving with Sam in the passenger seat, trying to call Rowena again. The three teenagers are in the backseat and Libby is asleep with her head on Nathan's shoulder while he and Ophelia watch a movie on his phone.

"Still no answer?" Dean asks his brother.

"Still no answer." Sam confirms.

"You know, I don't wanna be right about this, but... I mean, look, I want the fun, flirty Rowena that mostly helps us, but you gotta be ready for, uh... not that." Dean says.

"Or maybe she just has bad cell reception." Dean slams on the brakes, the two older teenagers jumping, looking at the woman next to them with wide eyes. The jump causes Libby to wake up and the brakes cause her to slam into the back of the front seat.

"Oh! Ow." Libby groans, holding her head.

The four older hunters get out, Libby staying in the backseat confused.

"What the hell did I miss?" She asks herself.

"What the hell?!" Dean asks the woman.

"Who are you?" Sam asks.

"Hi, Dean." The woman greets.

"Wait... Jessica?" Dean asks.

"So you know her?" Sam asks. Libby gets out of the car, walking over to them.
