freaks come out at night, SPN, DISCONTINUED

"All right. The garage?" Dean asks.

"Doors are warded and the walls are reinforced steel." Toni states.

"Okay. Um, you know, maybe we could get out through the air vents." Sam says.

"You wouldn't get far. There are choke points in the duct system, not even I could squeeze through. Not even I or your baby girl could get through." Toni states.

"Do not fucking talk to her or about her." Billy orders, glaring at the woman.

"I say we kill her." Dean states, pointing to Toni. "I mean, you heard Ketch. Said we had about three days of air left. So if we ice her, maybe that buys us an extra day."

"I assure you, Dean, I'm an extraordinarily shallow breather." Toni says.

"Yeah, right." Dean scoffs, going for her with a knife in hand.

"If we ever get out of here, I am the one who programmed your mother, which means that I am the only one who can undo it." Toni says. "And since I assume you want mummy back, you need me."

"You believe her?" Dean asks.

"I don't know. Look, if she's lying, sure, we take her out. But mom is still out there, brainwashed. If she's telling the truth, then we do need her." Sam says.

"All right, you're so smart, how do we get out of here?" Dean asks Toni.

"The only way out is to pull the manual override." Toni states.

"Is that a thing?" Sam asks.

"Oh, it is. But it's outside the bunker, where we can't reach it." Toni says.

"Awesome." Dean mutters.

"Wait a second, guys. We're in a giant vault loaded down with-with occult books and lore. There's gotta be something somewhere in here -- an item or a spell -- some hoodoo that can reverse the lockdown." Sam says.

The five are in the library, all reading books, trying to find a way out.

"I think I got something." Sam says. ""When the Romani people were forced to assimilate in Europe, the, uh, the Roman used a spell, the Abrogation ritual, as an act of rebellion against their persecutors. The Devla turns back complex mechanical processes, resets equipment, machinery.""

"What's it take?" Dean asks.

"Seems like pretty basic basic ingredients. Nothing we don't already have." Sam says. "The mechanisms "must be anointed with the blood of virgins."" Sam says. Dean looks at Toni.

"Not even close." Toni states.

"Hey. I'm a virgin!" Daphne grins. "Holy shit, that came in handy. Well, that and, you know, knowing I wouldn't die in a horror movie... more than likely, anyways. I don't drink or do drugs either. So I'd totally make it through a horror movie."

"Well, you're clumsy and talkative. Don't get too hyped up." Billy mutters.

"Okay, Daph... for the sake of spells, we request you stay a virgin... for the rest of your life." Dean says.

"Nice try." Daphne tells him.

"It was worth a shot." Dean sighs out.

Sam gets the ingredients for the spell and Daphne stands next to him.

"Ready?" He asks and she nods. Sam cuts Daphne's hand making her wince. "Sorry." Sam whispers before gently closing her hand into a fist and making her squeeze her hand so the blood drips into the bowl.
