The Devil Within

Dead Men Can, In Fact, Tell Tales

"Are you sure you have everything you need?" Raphael asked.

"Positive," you answered, speaking into your Blessing. "We're just about to go through another round of checking our equipment before we leave. Does that put your mind at ease?"

"Partially," Raphael sighed. "Run the plan by me once again."

"Castiel, the Winchesters, and I are going to focus more on finding information rather than actively hunting down Thule members," you said, a small smile gracing your face as you explained. "We'll find the audio files and get out, dismembering every Thule member we come across before leaving the building. Once everyone is out, Castiel will instantly set the place ablaze."

The Thule were smarter, they learned that someone (you) was able to gain access to their paper documents. They had no idea how (by asking Raphael) or where (from Raphael's library) you got them but only you and the angels closest to you could fill in the blanks. So, they recorded all of their conversations regarding whatever they were gathered for that night. You had a sneaking suspicion of what it was but felt it was way too soon for it to be that. Still, you told Castiel and Raphael about what happened in the Season Twelve episode of Supernatural, The One You've Been Waiting For.

In that episode, the Thule found Hitler's own pocket watch that a living member of the Thule enchanted to contain the bastard's soul. The Soviets were closing in at that time and he was contemplating suicide (which made Raphael's assassination of him all the more believable), the plan was suggested and Hitler went along with it. Lucifer also knew about the pocket watch since you told him about it after he got you to help him torture Hitler down in Hell a while back. He sent Meg but the Thule anticipated that a member of Hell would be ordered to find and retrieve Hitler's missing soul and put up extensive warding. Meg couldn't get within one hundred feet of the pocket watch's location. It pissed her off to no end.

"You will not deviate from the group," Raphael reiterated for the billionth time.

"Yes, Raphael," you snorted rolling your eyes. "You've ordered that already."

"I just want you to be safe," Raphael sighed.

"And you're starting to sound like my dad because of it," you snorted. "Look, I'm not going to leave Castiel's side this entire Hunt, I swear."

"I believe you, but you've been known to make rash decisions," Raphael said, a hint of a playful tone in his voice. "You cannot blame me for being worried."

"You're right," you said, chuckling. "But I can blame you for being overbearing."

"Overbearing," Raphael scoffed. "I am not overbearing."

"Keep telling yourself that," you sighed, grinning from ear to ear.

"Hey," Dean shouted at you, flagging you down. "We're burning moonlight!"

"I'll be right there," you shouted before returning to your conversation with Raphael. "I'll try to keep you updated."

"Best of luck to you," Raphael said. "Be safe."

"I will," you hummed, smiling as you walked over to the Impala.

Because of the sensitivity of the Hunt, Rabbi Abrams asked for everyone to meet away from the Thule's meeting spot. All of you were gathered in a Synagogue run by a Judah Initiative member who was too old to continue his old duties, instead offering a roof and safe space to any member and allies of their choosing. The Synagogue wasn't far from the Thule's location, they were located in the same city with the Thule hanging around in a private aircraft hangar owned by one of their members. You just needed to get there now.
