Voices vaguely reach my ears as I feel myself waking up, my head hurting due to the impact from the floor. I open my eyes slowly, blinking a few times to take everything in.

"Addy? Addy, are you okay?"

I turn towards the voice and see Dean kneeling over me. I let out a groan, "What happened?"

He reaches forward and pulls me into a sitting position, checking my head for any injuries, "The Leviathans, they left in Cas' body. It's gonna explode any minute."

"We have to go after them." I say and he nods, "But we gotta go find Sam first."

"Yeah. Okay." I say, still disorientated from the fall.

He pulls me up to my feet and I feel the blood rush to my head, causing me to sway on my feet. Dean steadies me and looks at me worried, "Woah, are you all right?"

I close my eyes and nod my head weakly, "Yeah. Let's go find Sam."

He eyes me for a moment before we begin to walk down the hallway, Dean still keeping a firm grip on me. Making our way down the hallway, I see black goo dripped along the floor to show where the leviathans went. Grunts can be heard from from further down the hallway.

"Sam?" Dean calls out.

The three of us walk towards the end of the room and I see Sam up against the wall, his face terrified as he stares at something unseen. Bobby takes a hold of me as Dean walks towards his brother, "Sam!"

Sam comes to and gasps in fear, pushing Dean's arm away. He takes us all in and his breathing calms down, him taking in deep breaths.

"Look at me. Hey." Dean says, meeting his eyes, "All right, we gotta button this up. Come on, let's get out of here."

Bobby leads me towards the doorway and we quickly make our way out of the building. Along the ground is a long trail of the same black goo and we follow it as quickly as possibly. Going through a gate, we see Cas walking out into the middle of the lake before submerging himself completely underneath. A whirlpool begins to form where he went down before stopping, a black mass coming out and dispersing in every direction in the water before disappearing.

"Oh, hell." Bobby mutters from beside me.

Looking to the side I see the sign that says public water supply and I let out a sigh, knowing this is really bad. They could be going anywhere, going into anyone and we wouldn't know.

"Damn it." Dean hisses.

"You said it." Bobby mutters, "Those whatever you call them-"

"Leviathan." Sam states from behind us.

"Right. If they're in the pipes, they got themselves a highway to anywhere." Bobby explains.

"Awesome." Dean mutters.

Something catches my eye as it washes to the shore and I look over, before sadness washes over me. Dean steps forward and kneels down, grabbing the trench coat from the water.

"Okay, so he's gone." Dean says and I close my eyes, lowering my head.

"Yup. Rest in peace." Bobby says, "If that's in the cards."

"Dumb son of a bitch." Dean says, his voice wavering.

"Well he was friends with us, wasn't he? Can't get much dumber than that." He says, before letting out a sigh and changing his mood, "Come on. Those things will be coming up for air soon."
