I stood in the doorway, watching everyone talk seated around the map table.

"How did Michael and Lucifer get here?" Sam asked, agitated. "How did they open a rift?"

"You know what? It doesn't--- We--- we've gotta find Jack before Michael does whatever the Hell he's gonna do, okay?" Dean replied tiredly. "I-I'll call Jody and everybody else."

"You're going to put out an APB on the Devil?" Bobby inquired.

"Yeah, I am," Dean said, standing and walking away past me.

"I'll check angel radio," Cass stated, also walking off.

"Sam, even if we find Lucifer, how we gonna stop him?" Mary asked her son.

Sam looked at a loss. Realizing the conversation wasn't going anywhere, I headed into the library to talk to Maggie.

"Maggie? Hey, sorry. Are you okay?"

"I'm alive, so... yes?"

"Right. Listen, I-I know this is weird--- so... weird--- but, um, before you... died, do you remember seeing anything about the person that killed you?"

"Does it matter? Kinda seems like you have bigger, you know, Satan-y problems."

"Yeah, but--- but, they're--- they're dealing with those. Mostly. Um... But yes. It does matter. It matters to me."

"I... I never saw his face, but, uh... I saw his eyes."

Maggie started to describe what she saw to me when the lights began to flicker and a loud banging was heard.

"What's happening?" she inquired.

We both stood and headed into the war room where everyone was located.

"What the Hell?" I asked.

"Oh no," Sam muttered, looking up at the door.

"What the Hell is that?" Bobby questioned.

"Mom, Bobby, take the girls, get them out of here. Go through the garage," Sam commanded.

The banging got louder and the door began to shake.

"We'll buy you some time," Dean was saying.

"No!" Mary argued.

"Mom!" Dean yelled.

"Please!" Sam chimed in.

"Go," Bobby told Mary.

She sighed, grabbing me and Maggie and hurrying out just as the door began to glow with a blue light. Before I could get too far with them, I ducked away, heading back into the war room where someone I hadn't seen before was holding Dean. He had a firm grip on Dean's neck as he spoke.

"Dean Winchester will be the first life that I take in this world, first soul I save. Some would consider that an honor."

"Well, as Shakespeare once said, eat me, dickbag," Dean spat out.

The man, who I felt like I was being drawn to, tightened his grip, slowly cutting off Dean's airway. I noticed Sam by a wall, muttering something quietly to himself. I made to move forward as the man continued to strangle Dean, lifting him off his feet. However, just as Dean looked like he was going to pass out, a shockwave hit him and the man, causing both to fall to the floor. That was when Jack materialized behind them along with Lucifer.

"Jack," Sam said.

"I heard your prayer," Jack informed him.

I glared at Lucifer.
