Crisis on Infinite Earths

Where is the Cure!?

The tone of the high pitch beeps which radiated in the air had slowed to a steady rhythm.

Jared couldn't stop staring at the wide screen which displayed his pulse and blood oxygen levels. His BPM had dropped significantly in the past hour which worried both Dean and Jared.

Jensen had a large tube shoved down his throat which pumped oxygen into his lungs since he wasn't able to breathe for himself. His mind was no longer active as he had slipped further into a coma after the seizure.

"I can't heal him, I'm sorry," Castiel said as he removed the two fingers he had planted on Jensen's third eye.

"What do you mean you can't heal him?" Jared panicked.

"There is dark matter running through his body. It seems to be targeting his main organs and is slowly disintegrating them. When I use my grace, I just make it worse," Castiel took a step backwards with an apologetic look in his eyes.

"Then how do we get rid of this so-called dark matter," Jared was interrupted by the sound of choking and spluttering from beside him.

Jensen body began to twitch again but it wasn't like before. This time a purple glow radiated from underneath the blankets as it slowly made its way up Jensen's legs. It was dimmed enough to look at it, but they were all still baffled.

The ground began to shake with intensity as the building they were in wobbled from side to side. Jared reached his arms out to his sides to find balance but instead fell backwards and smashed his back into the hardwood floor.

Dean stretched his arms out for Castiel as the angel did the same. They wrapped their arms together and held on with all their strength to stay sturdy.

An ear-piercing SMASH came from the large window beside them as it shattered to pieces in the pattern of a spider web. The shards of glass dropped several stories as it smashed into even smaller pieces.

Jensen's body had suddenly begun to glow a mix of purple and light blue. It made its way to his chest as the earthquake became more and more intense.

A swirling cloud of blue and purple intertwining light puffed out of the corners of his mouth and gathered in the shape of a ball in the middle of the room. It twirled and mixed but the colours never faded.

Suddenly, the cloud imploded then shot outwards as it evaporated into the air. Jared, Castiel and Misha were all on their knees as the tremors had made it impossible to stand up.

"What the heck was that?!" Dean yelled as the tremors settled down to feel like a slight shaking sensation.

"That was the dark matter reacting to my grace," Castiel mumbled.

"Seriously?" Dean looked at Castiel with wide eyes.

"That's what's killing Jensen?" Jared said terror in his tone.

"Unfortunately, yes. His body's defence mechanism saw my grace as a foreign substance and its job was to get rid of it. It definitely did its job. Thankfully it also got rid of some of the dark matter in his body, but not enough to make a huge impact," Castiel said as he stood up hesitantly.

"Then how do we get rid of it? For good?" Jared asked as he looked at Castiel with his adorable puppy eyes.

"Unless you have a grace extractor or some kind of dark matter expeller then I don't think I can help you. A human body was not made to house elements of this sort. There's no saying what effect it will have on him," Castiel said as he inspected Jensen.

"What do you mean? Will it kill him?" Jared's chest rose and fell at a rapid pace.

"Not necessarily. It definitely has to ability to kill him, but if it doesn't then it would mutate his cells which can be unpredictable," Castiel placed his palm on Jensen's chest and shut his eyes.
