Reckless and Brave

LXVII. Have You Ever Seen the Rain (Part I)

[Heaven and Hell]

Sam narrowed his eyes. "You want Anna? Why?"

"Out of the way." Uriel demanded.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa." Dean protested. "Okay, I know she's wiretapping your angel chats or whatever, but it's no reason to gank her."

"Don't worry. I'll kill her gentle."

Holly glared at him. "You're some cold, heartless sons of bitches, you know that?"

Castiel turned to her. "As a matter of fact, we are. And?"

"And?" Sam repeated. "Anna's an innocent girl."

"She is far from innocent."

"What's that supposed to mean?"

"It means she's worse than this abomination you've been screwing." Uriel retorted. "Now give us the girl."

Dean gave him a smug look. "Sorry. Get yourself another one. Try JDate."

"Who's gonna stop us? You three? Or this demon whore?"

Uriel threw Ruby against a wall and Dean attacked him.

"Cas, stop...please." Sam begged.

Castiel touched Sam's forehead and he fell to the ground. Uriel punched Dean, and Holly attacked him, and he punched her.

"I've been waiting for this." Uriel said.

A bright white light engulfed Castiel and Uriel and they disappeared.

Dean frowned. "What the..." He helped Ruby up. "Come on."

Ruby knelt by Sam and Dean and Holly ran into a back room to check on Anna. They found her with her hands and arms covered in her own blood.

"Anna. Anna!" Dean cried.

Holly saw sigils of some sort on a mirror. She knelt next to her. "Anna, are you alright?"

Anna looked at Holly. "Are they--are they gone?"

"Did you kill them?" Dean asked.

Anna shook her head. "No. I sent them away...far away."

"How, Anna?" Holly wondered.

"That just popped in my head. I don't know how I did it. I just did it."

The siblings gathered together to talk. "So, what do you think?" Dean asked.

Sam frowned. "I think Anna's getting more interesting by the second."

"Yeah, I agree. And what did they mean by "she's not innocent"?"

Holly shook her head. "I'm not sure. It seems to me they want her real bad, and not just cause of the angel radio thing. The blood spell she did--That was some serious crap, boys."

Dean nodded. "Something's going on with her. See what you can find out."

"What are you gonna do?"

"Anna may have sent the angels to the outfield, but, sooner or later, they're gonna be back. We got to get ourselves safe now."

They made their way to Bobby's and sat Anna down in a chair in the panic room. Dean said, "Iron walls drenched in salt. Demons can't even touch the joint."

Ruby was waiting outside the open door. "Which I find racist, by the way."

"Message your congressman." Holly returned.

Ruby rolled her eyes and said, "Here."

"Hex bags?" Dean questioned.

"Extra-crunchy. They'll hide us from angels, demons, all corners."
