Lucifer Chronicles

Egregious

"We called in some back up. Going to meet them at Bobby's place. They're basically family." Sam explained as they quickly made their way there, colt securely tucked away. 

"Basically family?" Ariel asked, turning from staring out the window, to look at the boys upfront. 

"How come we've never heard of them? And they didn't get invited to the wedding." Erin was also curious about the supposed backup. 

"Ellen and Jo were probably busy anyway. They run a bar, usually inhabited by hunters." Dean shrugged. "You'll like them." 

Ariel's phone rang, interrupting their conversation. Her blue eyes lit up when she saw the caller ID. "Hey Cas!" She answered. 

"Did you get it?" His voice came through as she put the phone on speaker. 

"Cas, remember, you usually reply back with a greeting." Ariel chuckled lightly.

"We found it." Erin answered. "Or rather were handed it." She couldn't help, but continue to feel suspicious about the situation. 

"Where are you now?" Castiel asked. 

Ariel gave him there location, but still yelped, along with Erin, when he appeared between them.

"And you end a phone call with a goodbye." Ariel hung up the phone, looking at her angel. 

"I will NEVER get used to that." Erin griped. 

They pulled into Bobby's and grabbed their bags, entering the house without knocking. They were greeted by two women, who instantly gave the boys hugs. 

"So." The older woman said, resting her closed fists on her hips. She turned a stern gaze upon the girls, and Castiel who stood tall behind them. "The lost sister, girlfriend, and the angel." 

"Uh." Erin piped up, almost afraid to correct her. "Wife, actually." She turned her gaze to the floor nervously. 

"Wife?!" Ellen exclaimed turning on Sam. "You got married and we didn't get invited? We didn't even know!" She slapped his arm. "How dare you." 

Sam laughed, and ducked out of the way from her incoming arm, a slew of apologies leaving his lips. The action suddenly making him look more like a child than an adult.

"Can't believe anyone would actually marry that giant." Jo laughed. "Welcome to the family, anyhow. Erin, right?" 

"Yeah." Erin smiled back. "And that's Ariel and Castiel." She pointed behind them. "She's blood related. No escape for her." Erin joked earning a grin from Jo and Ellen. 

"You'll fit in perfectly around here." Ellen pulled Erin in for a hug, before placing a hand on her lower back and slightly pushing her towards Sam so she could meet the other two. 

"Blood related sister. You poor thing." Ellen pulled her in for a hug. "How do you survive?" 

"Booze, and lots of it." She laughed, pulling away and standing closer to Castiel. 

"Spoken like a true Winchester." Ellen grinned, turning towards Castiel, pulling him in for a hug as well. 

Castiel instantly stiffened up, and turned towards Ariel as soon as Ellen let go. "I apologize. I did not know she was going to hug me." 

Ariel laughed and patted his shoulder. "Castiel, hugging isn't only done between romantic partners. You didn't cheat or anything, it was a friendly hug." 

"Cheat?" Jo asked. "Cheat, like you're dating an angel?" 

Ariel scratched the back of her neck. "Uh, yeah. Dating a rogue angel, as well as teaching him the ways of humans." 

"Neat." Jo told her as they all piled into Bobby's living room. 

"Hey, Daddy-o." Erin leaned down and gave him a hug. "You know, I've been thinking about it, and we should start our own club now. You're legs don't work, and I'm missing an eye." She tried to joke, but only got a grumble in response. 

"Hey pops." Ariel also gave him a hug. "Can I join the club? I mean, my eyes work, but not by themselves. Eyesight's shit without the glasses." She laughed. 

"So glad you guys are back."Bobby rolled his eyes, but the hint of a genuine smile pushed at the corners of his lips.
