Lucky Charm // Sam Winchester ✔️

10 || CHOICE

Moonlight shone through the windows, illuminating Bobby's living room as Vanessa sat sleepily at his desk, a vast pile of papers spread out in front of her.

She'd been so focused on trying to rescue Gabriel she'd forgotten that Castiel was close to cracking open Purgatory. And despite what Chuck had told her about it being inevitable, she knew she had to at least try and find a way to stop him. But she was having no luck.

There wasn't a single thing in her notes that could help her figure out how to defeat Raphael without opening the door. She had no idea where the archangel blade was, or if she'd even be able to use it given that she wasn't an archangel herself. She had no idea where Gabriel was, and even if she did, he may not feel inclined to help them kill his brother.

Jack wasn't born yet and probably never would be born if she could stop Abaddon before Dean received the mark, thus preventing Amara from escaping which means Castiel would never say yes to Lucifer and they wouldn't have to deal with him again. Although she had no clue how to do any of that either.

It was hopeless.

The eclipse was fast approaching, and by fast it was literally in two days. Two days and Castiel would either become the new God and they'd be summoning Death in a strangers living room, or he'd return all the souls after destroying Raphael and they'd have to deal with the Leviathans a little earlier than predicted. Either way did not sound very fun and Vanessa was starting to get fed up.

Maybe she should have just said yes to Lucifer and dealt with the consequences of it afterwards.

"You should have, I can be very helpful." The voice made Vanessa jump, her papers falling from her hands and scattering over the floor.

"Jesus." She breathed, her hand over her heart that hammered hard beneath her chest. Talk about a jump scare.

"Not exactly... Hey Nessie." Lucifer waved at her from where he was lounging on Bobby's couch, an old book in his hands.

"Great, instead of Sam getting Hallucifer, I'm getting him." Vanessa mumbled, ignoring as Lucifer clapped just his book shut and sat up.

"Oh, I'm not a hallucination sister. I'm very real, except... I'm inside your head." Lucifer wiggled his finger towards her, watching as her eyebrows knitted together before her face fell to one of annoyance.

"I'm dreaming aren't I?" Vanessa sighed, rubbing her hands down her face and hoping Lucifer would be gone when she opened her eyes, peaking through her fingers.

But he wasn't. He was still there.

"God, what is with your family and invading my dreams?" Vanessa exclaimed, annoyed that yet another celestial being had invaded her dreams. Not that she could call this a dream, she was still sitting at Bobby's desk, researching. Not exactly a trip to the Aqua Dome.

"How are you even here? Shouldn't the cage stop you becoming a dream warrior?" Vanessa asked, watching as Lucifer conjured up a spinning chair and sat backwards on it in front of the desk.

"Normally, it would. But..." Lucifer dragged out the word. "...when you touched me, you know to show me my brother being tortured and that, I may have left a little bit of my grace inside you, just so I could come and visit you."

"Gross." Vanessa shivered. She had angel juice inside her?

"Hey." Lucifer said, offended, a frown on his face.

"Sorry." Vanessa mumbled, once again rubbing her eyes in hopes that we would disappear. "Actually no, I'm not sorry. You tried to strangle me."

"Yeah..." Lucifer hummed out. "I may have gotten a teensy bit angry when you wouldn't let me out."
