All You Did was Save my Life

Getting Sammy His Soul Back

            Dean and Cas had waited until they got back to Singer Salvage to call Balthazar. They updated him n everything that had been happening and he assured them he'd pass everything on to Gabriel and if the archangel wanted to return then they would. Now they just had to convince Sam.

            "Sam?" Dean said, walking slowly over to his brother, "We gotta talk."

            "About what?" Sam asked.

            "About what's been going on with you," Dean said.

            "And what is that's been going on with me Dean?" Sam scoffed.

            "That right there Sam, that's what I'm talking about," Dean said, "You're rude, you don't care about anyone, but yourself-"

            "You mean like you?" Sam said sarcastically.

            "Exactly like me!" Dean exclaimed, "You missed the first year of your son's life and you couldn't care less!"

            "So?" Sam said.

            "So Cas and I think we know what's wrong with you," Dean said.

            "There's nothing wrong with me Dean, I just finally realized what's really important," Sam said, starting to turn away from his brother, but Dean called him back.

            "What?" Sam said in exasperation before he fell forward, unconscious. Bobby stood there, staring down at the unconscious hunter.

            "Let's get him inside," Bobby sighed and he and Dean dragged Sam into the house. They got him into a chair and tied him down.

            "Should we wait until he wakes up?" Dean asked Cas, who shook his head.

            "This won't be pleasant for him so it would probably be best if he was unconscious," Cas replied.

            "What exactly are you gonna do to him?" Bobby asked. Cas stared at him for a moment before turning to face Sam without saying anything.

            Dean watched in horror as Cas literally reached his hand inside Sam and began moving it around. He pulled it out a moment later and looked at Dean and Bobby, a grave expression on his face.

            "I was right," he said, "Sam is missing his soul."

            "What can we do?" Dean asked desperately.

            "I think I can replace it," Cas said, "But I'll need Balthazar's help." There was a flutter of wings and then Cas was gone and Dean and Bobby were left to wonder how on Earth they were going to solve this.

            Balthazar watched from the window as Gabriel played with his sons. His brother had been dong better lately. Not yet back to his old Trickster self, but he was up every day now and always tried to spend as much time as he could manage with the boys. And now Balthazar was going to rip that all out from under him. He sighed heavily and stepped outside, waving his brother over. Gabriel came over, Henry in one arm and holding Jesse's hand in the other.

            "Go wash up and I'll be in in a minute to make you something to eat," Gabriel said and Jesse ran inside. Gabriel looked at his brother, waiting for him to speak.

            "Cas called," Balthazar said and Gabriel's jaw tightened. "They think they know what's wrong with Sam."

            "Oh. What is it?" Gabriel asked monotonously.

            "Dean and Cas met with Crowley and apparently he's the one who pulled Sam from the Cage," Balthazar told him, "But he said he didn't bring all of Sam back."

            "What does that mean?" Gabriel asked.

            "Cas is pretty certain that Sam is missing his soul."

            Gabriel stood silently for a few moments before he nodded.

            "That makes sense. It explains how he acted when he got back." He walked past his brother and into the house, Balthazar followed slowly behind.

            "Cas wants us to come back," Balthazar said.

            "When?" Gabriel asked.

            "Soon. Today if possible," Balthazar told him.

            "And the boys? They can't do this back and forth," Gabriel said, "I won't take them back there only to have to leave again."

            "It's up to you whether we go back or not," Balthazar said, "We'll figure out what to say to the boys. Besides, I'm sure Ben and Jamie would love to see Dean and Cas."

            Gabriel stood facing away from brother, thinking over everything.

            "So what do you say?"

Alright, so this obviously isn't going to go the same way it did in the show, but I hope you'll enjoy it nonetheless. This is actually my last post for 2014! I'm going to be taking the next two weeks off for Christmas and New Years, but I'll be back with updates again in 2015!

Thank you so much to everyone who has read this story so far and I hope you'll join me in the New Year! Hope you all have an amazing holiday!
