The press of Sam next to Cas did nothing to relax him as they stepped through the threshold. Normally having the Winchesters at his side was a relief, but too much was at stake. Dean's life. He never should have trusted this other Castiel.

Sam was no less tense as they walked through the crypt. They reached a small opening with narrow stone steps that lead below ground.

Sam went to go in first, but Cas pulled him back. If either of them were to go first, it should be him. Dean would want Sam safe first and foremost.

He stepped into the dingy smelling room. He tried to focus his eyes but the wards left him merely human.

The sound of Dean's voice caught Cas' attention. Relief washed over both him and Sam. Dean was alive.

"So why the dramatics, why not just kill us?" Dean's voice asked, directing Sam and Cas towards the hunter.

"This isn't a slaughterhouse, there's a ritual," A soft voice spat. Karma, Sam guessed. He had only barely had a run in with Fate once and it hadn't gone terribly well, he couldn't imagine how this would go.

"You get Dean, I'll get Castiel," Sam whispered as his brother came into view.

Cas grabbed Sam's arm, "No, leave him, he can be her sacrifice and we'll get Dean out."

"Cas," Sam huffed disapprovingly. He knew Cas wasn't a fan of Castiel but that was harsh.

"Oh we have company," The soft voice hummed halting the conversation from going any further.

Just thirty minutes, Sam thought. He could distract for thirty minutes, right?

"Oh these two are just as ripe as you are," The woman suddenly was in front of them, her lips pulled into a malicious grin.

"Sam?" Dean's voice asked worriedly when he caught sight of the taller man.

Cas in a desperate attempt to keep the woman from grabbing Sam's arm, thrust his angel blade into her chest.

She let out a cry and stumbled back.

Sam made a beeline for Castiel and Cas backed towards Dean, not taking his eyes off Karma.

"You petulant fool," She yanked the blade from her chest, blood staining her already stained top.

"Cas," Dean breathed out in relief as the angel fought to undo the binds that held him.

"You think you can defeat me so easily?" She cackled, tossing the blade aside.

Cas didn't answer as he pulled the final ropes from Dean's wrists.

Another yelp and she doubled over, Castiel's own angel blade stuck out of her back.

"Come on," Sam ushered Dean and Cas towards the steps but Karma waved her hand and threw Sam back into the wall, his head hit harshly against the cement walls.

"Sam," Dean yelled out before bolting towards the other hunter.

"Dean," Cas and Castiel shouted as the same time.

Castiel grabbed the gun that hand been knocked from Sam's hand while Cas went after Dean.

Three loud pops and Karma was on her knees, one bullet it each knee and one in her forehead.

It only kept her down for about ten seconds, but that was enough time for Dean to reach Sam.

"Sam, Sammy, Come on damn it," Dean shook his unconscious brother. Blood pooled slowly behind his head.

"You have to get him out of here," Cas demanded, glancing over his shoulder at the already recovering sister of Fate.

Dean shoved his gun into Cas' hand before he lifted his brother.

Cas pulled the trigger, landing a bullet in her outstretched hand, preventing whatever spell she was about to do.

Castiel popped her with another one. The two angels took turns threading her with bullets, long enough for Dean to get Sam up the stairs.

When Dean pushed out the door, he laid Sam outside safe enough distance away from the threat before bolting back inside.

"Dean, what are you doing?" Castiel shouted when Dean appeared back at the top of the stairs.

"I'm not leaving you, either of you," Dean growled.

Castiel pulled the trigger once more to keep Karma from using a spell on Dean, but the trigger simply clicked. He was out.

Cas took the opportunity to kick a discarded blade towards the other angel as he shot his final bullet.

"Cas, come on," Dean urged the angel to follow him.

Castiel threw his blade landing it in her ribs.

That was it, they were out of weapons.

"Enough," She shouted, raising her hands up and pulling them down harshly.

This forced Dean and both angels to their knees.

"I will not be treated like some pagan whore," She clenched her hands and suddenly the two angels were struggling for air.

"No," Dean shouted, trying desperately to get to either one of them. But he was stuck, unable to move.

"Twins," Karma sneered at the angels, "I should make you choose, but you won't live long enough to feel the guilt."

Dean swallowed. He glanced around for something, anything. But it was no use. He was stuck. At least Sam was okay, but now Cas was in this mess too. He looked to the struggling angel. He was gripping at his throat desperately.

"What do you want? I'll give you anything," Dean couldn't watch Cas die, not because of him.

"You have nothing to give. Your guilt is all I want and this one is just as guilt ridden as you. It's pathetic really, how sad and burdened you two are. Honestly, death will be a mercy. Now be a good little boy and don't move."

Suddenly the three of them were bound. She had released the angels so they could breathe again.

"Cas, please tell me you have a plan for getting us out of here," Dean pleaded, his eyes searching the angel's blue ones.

"We just need five more minutes," Cas spoke with a raw voice.

"Five minutes won't make a bit of difference," Karma laughed, "You can't kill me and your angels are powerless in here so long as my wards are still-"

Suddenly loud snapping could be heard. Like the sound of a thousand rubber bands breaking.

"What? How?" Karma glared at Cas. "What have you done?"

Cas could feel the swell of power returning to him as the wards were broken. Gabriel had done it.

Cas broke his binds and reached for Dean. A hand landed on his shoulder, breaking his own binds and healing his wounds at the same time.

Karma started chanting a spell with an urgency that worried Cas. But before he could do anything, Castiel snapped them out of the mausoleum and next to Sam.

Gabriel was knelt by the younger Winchester, and just as Dean reached his brother's side, he opened his eyes.

"Sam," Dean breathed out in relief.

"He had a pretty bad head bleed, but he's fine now," Gabriel smiled down at Sam.

"Thank you," Sam said sitting up.

"Getting yourself killed wasn't part of the plan," Gabriel winked.

Sam gave a breathy laugh. He was just relieved that the plan had worked at all. That gave them time to figure out what to do about Karma. For now though, they were safe.
