"Whose this Cas?" A tall older man came into view next to Cas. He had a light brown jacket and a plain white shirt with a ring on his left hand. "Hiya, Barney my names Lucifer." Lucifer, I thought. I gulped it's not every day you see Satan. He's weak I could sense it. And did he call me Barney?
Castiel's face was very agitated but I still didn't know why he had Satan by his side.
"Could we maybe talk somewhere more like....you know? There's a pub-."Lucifer couldn't finish his sentence because Cas poofed us to the local bar on elk. "Happy now?" Cas said annoyed.
"Very," Lucifer said smugly.
We sat next to the pool table and Lucifer began his rant.
"Everything, I am telling you is true. You were there man."
What is he talking about? I wondered. What did Cas know?
'' you saw what that place was like. The Micheal I just described to you is responsible for that."
Castiel began looking around. He clearly more agitated then before.
"What? What? What? What? Will you do me a favor and stop looking at the door every five seconds like you want to get out of here."
" You'll forgive me that I'm on edge. The last time we were together, you killed me."
Oohhh this is getting good. I thought.
"well, last time you were together you stabbed me."
"im sorry"
He's not.
"you wanna dwell on the past. I dont"
"im not myself anyways what am I gonna do? Okay?"
"look it's time to save the world. Be the heroic Castiel not the butt of heavens joke."
"just saying." Lucifer said raising his hands as Castiel looked hurt.

"how do I save the world?"
"You mean how we, WE save the world."
"Oh, no."
Oh no indeed.
"Yeah, yeah. Look, you protected my son. He trusts you. And he's practically engaged to Barney over here. So if you can convince him to be on our team, I think the combined power of the three of us can drive Michael back. I'm telling you, this guy is not the same Michael that we knew. He's much more powerful."
"Okay, if this Michael comes" "Not if. When."
"When." Cas repeated calmer.
"The guy's on a mission."
"Well, you would seem to be the weak link on this team."
"Okay, that hurt. That was unnecessary. I'm gonna let it go. Yes, my grace is a little bit depleted, but give me time, man. Work this out with me."
"Hypothetically, um, let's say you're lying, and I help you find your son, and then you kill me again."
"Cut me a little bit of slack. Please? That unhinged thing and that meth head Kevin Tran are about to bust through that door. God isn't here! It's just us." Cas sighed deeply. "We're all we got, in case you hadn't noticed."
"Well, I-I-I have to talk to Sam and Dean."
Lucy groaned rolling his eyes. "Why, why, why, why, why, with all their second guessing and their whining? This is an emergency, Castiel, and all they're gonna wanna do is -- is put me back in the Cage."
"That's all I want."
"But right now, you need me, I need you, and we both need my son. Look, not changing the subject, but we'll get back to it. I just wanna ask you, how did you hide him so well? I mean, I tried to get a bead on him, and no bueno."
"Jack. Your son's name is Jack."
"Jack Wow. Is he [ Chuckles ] awesome? I mean, is he a chip off the old block?"
"Thankfully, no. No, he seems to favor the mother."
"All right, that's nothing that we can't fix"
"But seriously, I mean, why can't I you know, detect a presence? I don't know."
"He He is okay, though, right? Oh, I'm sure he's fine.
"Well, you don't sound sure." Is he -- is he nearby? "No."
