Reckless and Brave

LXXXII. (82) Sunday Bloody Sunday (Part II)

Risa studied the gun. "So, that's it? That's the Colt?"

Future Dean nodded. "If anything can kill Lucifer, this is it."

"Great. Have we got anything that can find Lucifer?"

"Are you okay?"

Dean frowned. "Oh, we were in, uh, Jane's cabin last night. And, apparently, we and...Risa have a connection."

"You want to shut up?" Future Dean retorted.

Dean raised his hands in surrender as Future Dean continued, "We don't have to find Lucifer. We know where he is. The demon that we caught last week, he was one of the big guy's entourage. He knew."

"So, a demon tells you where Satan's gonna be, and you just believe it?" Risa asked skeptically.

"Oh, trust me, he wasn't lying."

"And you know this how?"

"Our fearless leader, I'm afraid, is all too well-schooled in the art of getting to the truth." Future Cas said.

Dean narrowed his eyes. "Torture? Oh, so, we're--we're torturing again." Future Dean looked at Dean. "No, that's--that's good. Classy."

Holly sighed. "I didn't miss that part of your life. Seriously, man. I'm sure there's better way to deal with your anger management."

Future Cas laughed and Future Dean looked at him. "What? I like past you and past Holly."

Dean frowned. "Don't say her name! Lucifer is here. Now. I know the block and I know the building."

Future Cas frowned. "Oh, good--it's right in the middle of a hot zone."

"Crawling with Croats, yeah. You saying my plan is reckless?"

"Are you saying we, uh, walk in straight up the driveway, past all the demons and the Croats, and we shoot the devil?"

"Yes."

"Okay, if you don't like, uh, 'reckless', I could use 'insouciant', maybe."

Holly shrugged. "Reckless sounds pretty good to me."

Future Dean rolled his eyes, secretly enjoying having a little sister, even if she wasn't his sister. "Are you coming?"

Future Cas sighed. "But why is he? I mean, he's you five years ago. She's Holly five years ago. If something happens to him, you're gone, right?"

"He's coming."

"Okay. Well, uh...I'll get the grunts moving."

"We're loaded and on the road by midnight."

"All righty." Future Cas and Risa said, leaving.

Dean turned to his doppleganger. "Why are you taking me? Us?"

"Relax. You'll be fine." Future Dean said. "Zach's looking after you two, right?"

"No, that's not what I mean. We want to know what's going on."

"Yeah, okay. You're coming because I want you two to see something. I want you to see our brother."

Holly narrowed her eyes. "Sam? I assumed he was dead."

"Sam didn't die in Detroit. He said 'yes'."

"'Yes'?" Holly and Dean repeated.

There was a long silence before Dean said, "Wait. You mean--"

"That's right. The big 'yes'. To the devil. Lucifer's wearing him to the prom."

"Why would he do that?"
