Season Five

"Come on!" Dean cried.

Sam let his brother and sister-in-law pull him away from the sigil. They ran and the doors slammed shut. They rattled the doors. Light burst through the cracks.

There was a high-pitched noise. Sam turned to look at Dean and Lana, and each looked back at the light while Rose looked terrified. They squeezed their eyes shut, Sam held up a hand to block the light, and covered their ears. They fell to their knees.

The light reached the edges of the sigil, then everything went white.

PLANE

A cartoon red devil leaned over a large open book. "What in the devil is your name?"

"Sa-Sa-Sa-Sa-Yo-Yosemite Sam," Yosemite Sam stammered.

"Yosemite Sam!" The devil flipped through the book.

Sam, Dean, Lana and Rose were sitting on a plane. They looked around, but no one seemed to have noticed.

"What the hell?" Dean asked.

"I don't know," Sam and Lana replied.

The pilot said over the intercom, "Folks, quick word from the flight deck. We're just passing Ilchester, them Ellicott City, on our initial descent into Baltimore-"

Dean frowned. "Ilchester? Weren't we just there?"

Lana nodded with a frown.

Rose looked out the window. "How'd we poof here, Daddy?"

"I don't know, Ro."

COCKPIT

The pilot continued. "So if you'd like to stretch your legs, now would be a good time to-" A column of light shot into the sky. "Holy crap!"

The shock waves knocked the plane off kilter. People were thrown around the plane. Oxygen masks dropped down. Sam, Dean and Lana put theirs on, then Lana helped Rose put hers on, as the light outside grew blinding. The high-pitched white noise sounded again. Dean looked out the window, terrified, and Lana silently took Dean's hand to try to calm him.

CAR

Sam, Dean, Lana and Rose drove in a rental car.

A radio announcer spoke. "-and Governor O'Malley urged calm saying it's very unlikely an abandoned convent would be a target for terrorists, either foreign or homegrown."

"Change the station," Dean instructed.

Sam pushed a button on the digital radio and another radio announcer said, "Hurricane Kinley, unexpectedly slammed into the Galveston area-"

A third radio announcer spoke. "-announced a successful test of the North Korean War-"

A fourth said, "-a series of tremors-"

A fifth spoke. "-swine flu-"

The radio shut off. Sam sighed and silence fell in the car.

"Dean, Lana, look-" Sam began.

Dean cut him off. "Don't say anything." He paused. "It's okay. We just got to keep our heads down and hash this out, all right?"

"Yeah, okay."

Lana glanced at her sleeping daughter before she poked her head between the front seats. "First things first - How'd we end up on Soul Plane?"

"Angels, maybe? I mean, you know, beaming us out of harm's way?"
