Fallen (Book Four: Supernatural fanfic)

Various & Sundry Villains

Sam, Dean and I were in the bunker's library, talking.

"All right," I told them. "We've got 'Principia Phantamogonia'." I tossed each large book onto the table. "We have 'Archive of the Unnatural Occurrences'. And we've got 'Jour et Nuit'."

"Kind of a weird name," Dean told us.

"It's French," I explained. "It means 'The Book of Day and Night'."

Dean smirked. "Fancy. So, this is everything that even mentions some alternate realities. So there's gotta be something here that talks about the Apocalypse World, right?"

I looked away. "Yeah. Maybe."

Sam looked at me. "Ava."

"I'm just saying, Sam," I told him. "Ariel, Faith, Jack and Kai were our way over there, obviously. So with them gone..."

"Okay, well, Kai and Jack have been gone before," Sam told me. "We found them once. We can find them, Ariel and Faith again."

"No, no, they didn't run away," I told him. "They are literally in an alternate reality."

"Okay, so, we'll just come up with a Plan B, okay?" Dean asked. "Sammy said it himself. We just keep our heads down and we'll do the work."

"Ava said that before she lost a little control the other day," Sam corrected.

"And Ava was right," Dean told him, looking at me. "And you'll think like that again once we find a way to get the spell the hell off your mind. Yes, Ariel and Faith were the only ones that could heal you before they got trapped with Jack and Kai and our mom over in the Apocalypse World, but we'll figure out another way until we get them back. So, Sam, Ava, you read, do your Sam and Ava thing. I'm gonna go for a beer run."

"Yeah," Sam told him.

"We should probably loop Cas in at some point," Dean told us.

"We'll fill him in when he calls," Sam told us. "He checks in every day."

Dean nodded. "Yeah, with  bunch of questions and no leads."

"You two don't think that there's something wrong with Cas, do you?" I asked.

"What do you mean?" Dean asked.

"Ava was thinking that there was something off with Cas the other day because of how weird he was acting over the phone," Sam answered.

"And I'm sure you told her that Cas is fine?" Dean asked.

"Yep," Sam answered.

"Listen to Sam, Ava," Dean told me. "I'll be back."

Dean walked out of the bunker to go on the beer run. Sam and I exchanged a look, sighing, going through all of the books to try to find something to help us.

Sam and I were sitting at the tables, still researching.

"Ava, uh, I think you might be right," Sam told me. "I think maybe it's time we go ahead and call Cas. Because, I mean, if... if..."

Dean walked in, whistling, doing a little spin, dropping a six pack of beer and hsi keys on the table.

I frowned in confusion. "You all right?"

"Am I all right?" Dean repeated. "I'm in love."

"You..." Sam trailed off. "Oh, are you?"

Dean smiled. "I mean, I am, like, full on twitter pated here. Seriously, I can't wait for you two to meet her, either. She... I mean, she's--she's sweet and she's beautiful and she's just kinda sorta perfect. Anyway, I'm thinking of asking her to move in with me here. If that's cool, 'cause this is big time."
