Percy rolled his eyes, "I think you two misunderstand me. The only team I play for is team Percy. I'm not really on the side of Heaven or Hell. I'm looking out for me and me alone. Lilith is a dear old friend but her loyalties are not the same as mine. She wants Dean dead. I'm not a huge fan of that, so I stopped it."

Sam looked suspicious, "What are you trying to tell us? That you're not evil?"

Percy let out a loud laugh, "Hades no. I like to think I'm a bit different, a little mix of Heaven and Hell. The side that suits my interests is the side I will help. But really, I'm on my side and my side alone. Now speaking of Hades, I have a certain god of the dead in dire need of a visit from his dearest nephew. I'll leave you two to finish your little family argument. Remember Sam, lying is only going make things worse. Better to come clean now, but I'll leave that up to you, for now. You think you're helping but you're not. You're Ruby's little instrument and she's playing you to fit her needs and not yours."

Sam looked confused but Percy just shook his head and vanished. Both brothers looked at each other confused.

"Did you just hear that?" Dean asked.

Sam's eyes were wide, "It couldn't be. Must have been the wind."

Dean nodded slowly, "Yeah, probably the wind."

Now....

Once the moment of confusion was gone, Dean turned to his brother.

"Really Sammy? Ruby? Fucking Ruby? I mean don't get me wrong, I've woken up with a few ogres in my day but that's after a bottle of Jack and they haven't spent the past few centuries burning in the fiery pits of Hell. What the fuck were you thinking? She's a demon!"

Sam scowled and looked away. He knew his brother made a good point and there weren't a lot of comebacks for you just slept with a demon but things were complicated.

"What do you want me to say Dean? It was a mistake? You don't understand what it was like. You were in Hell and I was stuck back here helpless to do anything to get you out. Did I make a few less than stellar decisions? Yes, but there's no changing things now. Ruby has been helping me hunt down Lilith and that was my main priority when you left."

Dean just shook his head in disbelief, "Yeah and it was obviously necessary for you to fuck a demon in order to find Lilith. Tell me Sammy, where did that help you in locating Lilith?"

Sam growled to himself, "I don't know what you expect me to say."

"Explain where your fucking head was at? What else does that evil bitch have you doing? She's got you tapping into your demon powers and apparently her ass as well. Anything else you need to tell me? Percy made it sound like there's still more. So what is it Sammy? You better tell me now because if I find out you're still lying to me...." Dean yelled leaving the threat hanging.

Sam clenched his fists as he tried to control his anger. After a moment he looked up, "Can we leave before another band of demons comes to kill us? We have a lot of work to do and we're not accomplishing anything standing here yelling at each other."

Dean glared at his younger sibling for a bit. He knew Sam was still holding back but all he could do was wait until Sam decided to tell him. He pulled open the door of the Impala and started it up as he waited for Sam to join him. After a minute, he heard the passenger door open as he put the car in reverse and swerved around the two trucks left by the demons before whipping the car around when they reached the end of the dirt road, the screeching of tires hitting the pavement giving Sam a clear indication of his brother's opinion of their conversation.
