Supernatural Death Note

Chapter Ninety: War

The angel took a hold of the older man's shoulder and disappeared.

"Not quite what I meant, but okay. I really wanted to know where exactly Watari was gonna be so I could see to it that Lilith is near the right window."

Near's voice answered. "Look at the computer. There is only one window that will suffice for any type of shot from that distance."

"Thanks, Near."

The image on the computer showed the correct window, but the shot would be incredibly difficult. However, L and the boys showed no signs of concern for it. Dean thought about Watari, remembering his first few encounters with the man. He'd thought at the time that Watari had to be former military. Sniper? Maybe.

Castiel soon arrived. "Ready?"

"Everyone?"

The group nodded, showing they were ready.

"Let's go, Cas."

Mere seconds later, they were standing in a safe area near the church.

"That's it over there." Dean pointed to an old church, doors and windows sealed. Sigils and other symbols on the outer walls. "Okay, Cas. Good luck."

The angel disappeared, leaving the group to wait. Mello's hand was near the hilt of his sword, the other near his gun. He was waiting.. as were the others.

The younger hunter was leaning against a tree, a piece of paper in his hand, studying it. He closed his eyes for a second and put the paper back in his jacket pocket. He looked across the large expanse of land towards the church.

Bobby looked at him. "You OK?"

"Yeah, Bobby. I'm fine. Honest."

He moved towards him. "I know it's hard. The numbers don't look good. Remember what Meg said after we got rid of the damned demon?"

"Sam survived it after Meg left him. It's hard, Bobby."

"She didn't ride his body too hard either, Dean. He was needed. These hosts aren't.. they're convenient."

"I know. Until Meg, I never really thought much about it. You know? It's a demon, you kill it."

"It's difficult, Dean, but in this case, we're going to have to see it as delivering mercy," he said quietly.

"Okay, Bobby. Mercy. I never thought of it like that. Thanks, Bobby."

"Welcome, kid," he hugged him.

Dean hugged him back, wanting to ask him to keep an eye on Sam, Lisa, and Ben if something should happen. He didn't because he knew the older hunter would be angry with him. He just wanted to cover all possibilities. This was Lilith.

L frowned, waiting for Castiel.

Dean joined him, "You okay?"

He nodded, "Just waiting for this to begin."

"Yeah. The calm before the storm. It's hard."

L shrugged slightly. "Any fight can be difficult."

"None of them are alike. Strange in some ways. You'd think that there'd be some, but they're not."

"Certain things follow patterns, some do not."

"Patterns are what Sam and I look for when we are researching a hunt. Most things we fight give out patterns. When a demon is around, lights flicker."

He nodded. "That was covered in the lessons."

"I know. It's easier to wait, when you talk about anything. I'm not very good at waiting."
