Lucky Charm // Sam Winchester ✔️

19 || REVELATION

The bunker was quiet. Too quiet. It had only been three days since Vanessa had ended up in Purgatory and already the boys were noticing her absence.

From the lack of her whispering to herself in Gaelic, or the music she liked to listen to when she was in her whiteboard mode. Or even just the general Irish insults she fired towards the boys daily. The silence felt eerie and for once they found themselves missing said insults.

Only the silence, and lack of insults, didn't last very long once the boys found the courage to pray for Balthazar and tell him exactly where his unofficial daughter had ended up.

"I'm sorry, I must have something in my ears..." Balthazar began, making the boys share a rather guilty look. "Did you say you morons let her end up in Purgatory?"

"Okay listen here, ass clown." Dean replied, already annoyed at being in the presence on an angel that wasn't Castiel. "We didn't let her end up in Purgatory, there wasn't anything we could do... If we should be blaming anyone here it's Crowley okay, he's the one who just let her stand there instead of zapping her away.

"Yes and I'll be giving him a talking to as well." Balthazar muttered, his hands on his hips as he let out a sigh. "You know, you boys really can't do anything right can you? Always relying on others to clean up your messes. Honestly, I'm surprised Vanessa stuck around this long."

"Oh, you know what-"

"Guys!" Sam yelled out, already sick and tired of hearing the two of them arguing. He was worried about Vanessa enough as it is, he didn't need anymore stress added on top of that when he knew for a fact he'd have to hold Dean back when Balthazar pushed him over the edge, the edge he was already very close to.

"Enough fighting." Sam sighed, running a hand through his hair before he spoke again. "No amount of arguing will bring Ness back, so for once in your life can you both please just shut up."

Both Dean and Balthazar silenced, biting the inside of their cheeks as they just stared down at the ground. Dean did what he was told, not wanting to add to the unimaginable stress Sam was probably feeling. Balthazar on the other hand couldn't give a damn what Sam was feeling and the only reason he stopped and behaved himself was because he knew Vanessa would want him too. That and, the boys probably needed him to help try and get her back so it was for the best that he behaved incase Dean knifed him.

"Balthazar, did Ness say anything to you about Purgatory? Anything she may not have told us?" Sam asked towards the angel as he leaned back on the desk, his eyes looking past Balthazar and instead finding the little drawings Vanessa had done on her whiteboard.

"Not that I can recall." Balthazar sighed out, taking a seat at the table and making himself at home by putting his feet up on it. "She told me an awful lot about your unfortunate lives that it all just sort of merges into one big flannel coloured mess."

"Didn't she leave a note? An 'incase of Purgatory' binder or something? Anything?" Dean exclaimed, shifting through the mass of pages littering one of the library desks, all of which covered in Vanessa's scrawly handwriting. "Oh, wait, here we go."

"What is it?" Sam asked hopeful, pushing himself off the desk as Dean picked up a piece of paper, one that looked as though it had been folded and unfolded a bunch of times.

"If you're reading this then it's most likely that I ended up in Purgatory..." Dean began, his face dropping ever so slightly before he looked up at Sam. "Wait a second, she knew she was gonna end up there?"

"Who knows." Sam sighed out, shaking his head. "Keep reading."

"If that's the case, then don't freak out... Dean, I'm talking to you." Dean said unamused, mumbling something about how he never freaks out before he kept reading. "Anyway, just wanted to let you both know that the odds are that I'll be okay... There are two ways out of Purgatory that I know of, one that leads to some forest in the arse end of nowhere and the other that leads directly into Hell.
