Chapter Text
Sam joined back up with us, and I didn't bat an eye, today though was an odd case, a girl scratched her brains out because of itching powder and a man was electrocuted to death because of a handshake buzzer, then a man de-toothed by the tooth fairy. Dean put together that everything was a childhood lie that parents tell their kids for some odd reason. Dean and I currently sat at the table eating ham sandwiches because well, it would go bad otherwise. Sam walked in. "Guys- seriously!? Still with the ham!?"
"We don't have a fridge!" We yelled in unison with mouthfuls.
"Well, I found something." Dean and I stood to see what Sam had found. "Tooth Fairy attack was here, pop rocks and coke, then itching powder, face freeze, and electrocution. They're all located in a 2-mile radius."
"So blast zone of weird and inside fantasy becomes reality," Dean said.
"So that means what's at the center?" I asked and Sam stood straight.
"Well, four acres of farmland and a house." He said and I hummed.
"Our motel isn't in that circle by chance?" Dean asked and I hummed.
"Yeah, why?" Sam asked he slowly raised his hand and hair was growing from it.
"Dean what the fuck!?" I gawked. "That isn't what I think it is, is it?" I asked and he chuckled.
"I got bored- that nurse was hot!"
"Dean, go and shave it!" I said.
"You can go blind from that too!" Sam said and I looked at him humming.
"Never heard that one," I said and he shrugged.
"Dean don't you use my razor!" He yelled and I chuckled.
"I'm so happy I have a personal room." I sighed. We drove to the house and while we walked up I sensed something, I hummed and Sam went to pick the lock but I stopped him, knocking on the door, he looked at me and then the door opened he smiled at me thanking me. "Hey, there little dude. Your parent's home?" I asked and he hummed.
"Who is asking?"
"The FBI," I said pulling out my thing and holding it up, as did my brothers, he took mine.
"Lemme see." He said and looked it over before handing it back. "My parents are working."
"You mind if we ask a few questions?" I asked.
"Take a look around the house?" Sam followed up.
"I don't know..."
"Trust us, we're the authorities," I said and he nodded slowly. We walked in and he had the stove going to warm soup.
"What's that?" Sam asked and he looked at him.
"Called soup, you heat it and eat it." I chuckled at his response.
"Yeah, I know it's just... I used to make my dinner too when I was a kid." Sam said and I rolled my eyes.
"I did too," I said and Sam looked at me.
"I'm not a kid," Jesse said and I nodded.
"For sure. I'm Millie." I said and he reached up shaking my hand.
"Jesse." He said and I nodded. This kid had mega energy, but it wasn't angelic or monster-ish, it was demonic, but he was just a kid.
"Nice to meet you." I smiled.
"You draw this?" Dean held up a drawing and I smiled.
"That's the tooth fairy."
"That's what you think the tooth fairy looks like huh?" Dean asked and he nodded.
"Yeah, my dad told me about him." He said and Dean hummed. "What? Didn't your dad tell you about the tooth fairy?" Jesse asked and I chuckled.
"My dad?" Dean asked and he nodded. "No, my dad told me different stories."
"Well, the tooth fairy isn't a story." He said and I hummed.
"Yeah? What about itching powder?"
"That stuff will make you scratch your brains out!" He yelled and I nodded.
"Pop rocks and coke?" I asked and he gasped softly.
"You mix them and you'll end up in the hospital. Everyone knows that."He said and I chuckled, dean then pulled out the buzzer, and he flinched.
"You shouldn't have that."
"Why?" Dean asked.
"It electrocutes you." He said
"It can't," I said. "It's a wind-up toy, completely harmless. Doesn't even have batteries." I said.
"It can't shock you?"
"Nope! All it does is vibrate, when you shake hands, see?" I asked taking it from Dean and pressing it to my hand, and it just buzzed in my hand, he chuckled, We walked out afterward, talking about the unnaturalness of Jesse. we found out that Jesse was adopted, so I took them to go meet the mother, Julia Wright, We walked on the grounds, with no trespassing signs everywhere, ringing the doorbell, and we could talk to her through the door.
"Whatever you're selling, I don't want it." She yelled.
"We aren't salesmen! Agents Page, Plant, and Turner. FBI." I said as we held up our badges.
"Put your badge in the slot, and your partners too." She said and I slipped mine in, then took Sam and Dean's and slipped those in too. After a moment of waiting, a bunch of unlocking happened and I shared a look with my brothers. She opened the door handing them back to us. "What do you want?" She asked.
"We have some questions. About your son?" Sam asked and she looked confused.
"I don't have a son." She said and I hummed.
"He was born March 29th, 1998 in Omaha," I said. "He was put up for adoption. Perhaps his birth wasn't that normal... Even... Demonic?" I asked and her eyes went to terror.
"Stay away from me!" She tried slamming the door but we stopped her.
"Miss Write, wait!" I yelled and we chased her in, she ran to her kitchen and when I ran in she threw salt at me.
"You're- you're not demons?" She asked and Dean spoke.
"How do you know about demons?" He asked if she made us Tea after that, and we all sat down to talk.
"I was possessed. A demon took control over my body and I hurt people." She said after taking a sip.
"That wasn't you Julia," I said and she nodded.
"But I was there. I heard a woman beg for mercy... I felt a young girl's blood drip down my hands."
"That's how you knew about salt," Dean said.
"I picked up tricks, I was in my head for months."
"It wasn't Nine, was it?" I asked and she looked at me slowly nodding. "So your son," I said and she nodded.
"The whole time, the pregnancy, the birth, all of it... I was possessed. The night the baby was born, I was all alone. The pain- the pain was overwhelming. I screamed and it came out as a laugh because the demon was happy." She shook her head. "It used my body, to give birth to a child. When it was over something changed. Maybe it was because the demon was tired or if the pain helped me fight it, but I took control, the demon wailed inside my head and pounded against my skull. I thought my head was gonna explode but I knew... I knew what I had to do." She looked down. "And when I was alone, with the baby... Part of me wanted to kill it. But god, help me, I couldn't do that so I put it up for adoption and I ran." She huffed.
"Who was the father?" Dean asked.
"I was a virgin." She said and I huffed. "Have you seen him? Is he human?"
"His name is Jesse. He lives in Alliance. He's a good kid." I said. "Innocent," I said and she nodded smiling a tad. We left sam looked at us.
"He's half demon," I said and they looked at me. "I'll call Castiel," I said and I grabbed them and popped up in the motel sitting in the bed.
Castiel, there's a boy here, named Jesse, he's half human, Half Demon.
"You're lucky you found the boy." He said and I stood up huffing.
"Real lucky," I said and he nodded.
"What do we do with him."
"Kill him."
"Cas!" I yelled and he turned to me.
"He is Half human half demon. He's far more powerful than either. Other cultures call this hybrid Cambion or Katako, you know him as the antichrist." He said and I looked down. Cas sat in a chair and obnoxious farts erupted, we all froze looking at Cas and when it finished he huffed. "That wasn't me." He pulled a whoopie cushion from underneath him.
"Who put that there?" Dean asked holding back laughter.
"Wait so- Jesse is the Devil's son?" Sam asked and I rolled my eyes.
"No, he's not. Your Bible gets more wrong than it does right." He said. "The Antichrist isn't the devil's son, it's just a demon's spawn but it is one of the devil's greatest weapons in the war against heaven, just as Millie is to heaven against hell." He said and I gawked.
"Wow." I huffed.
"If Jesse is a Demonic howitzer what's he doing in Nebraska?" Dean asked.
"Demons lost him but they are looking."
"They lost him how?" I asked.
"His power hides him from both demons and angels for now."
"Well he's got a demonic force field around him, problem solved!" Dean said.
"With Lucifer risen this child has grown strong. Soon he will do more than just make a few toys come to life. Something that will draw the demons to him, the demons will find this child. Lucifer will twist him to his word, and with one word, this child destroys the host of heaven."
"He's gonna nuke the angels?" I asked.
"We cannot let that happen," Cas said.
"We're the good guys! We don't kill children." Sam said and Cas stood looking at him.
"A year ago you would have done whatever it takes to win this war," Cas said.
"Things change," Sam said turning around.
"We aren't killing Jesse, but we can't leave him here either, we know that. All this kid needs is the right influence. We can take him to Bobby's -"
"You'll kidnap him?" He asked me and I nodded.
"Yup!"
"What is going on in this town is what happens when this child is happy. Besides now would you hold him? With a thought, he could be halfway around the world."
"He's half demon, well I'm half angel, I'll do what it takes not to kill this poor child. I know what it's like to have demons on my ass." I said. "I'll even tell him the truth, what he is, what's going on! He might make the right choice. Like I did." I said and he stared at me.
"Sam didn't." He said and Sam stared at him. "I can't take that chance." He was suddenly gone.
"No!" I yelled and I followed him to Jess's home.
"I'm sorry-" I heard Cas as I ran in.
"Castiel stop!" I yelled as his hand went in the air to kill Jesse and then he was gone. But he wasn't gone, he was an... Action figure on the ground? "Jesse, are you alright?" I asked running to him and he nodded at me, that was when my brothers burst in. "Come sit Jesse." I grabbed... Castiel the action figure and Jesse sat down as I looked at him.
"Was he your friend?" He asked and I looked at him.
"Yeah, he is," I said. "But I would never do what he tried to do. Know that Jesse." I said and he nodded at me.
"I did that!" He said and I nodded. "How did I do that?"
"You're a superhero!" Dean said and I looked at him confused. Sam and I shared a look. Dean just started to lie through his teeth.
"Dean can I talk to you in the" I froze. "She's here," I said and Dean went flying into the wall. Then, She tried to do it but it didn't work, and she sighed.
"They're lying to you, Jesse." She said and I went to move but I couldn't.
"I can't hurt you Sam, orders. And you two, hurting you two is encouraged."
"Millie-"
"I can't move!" I growled and they looked at me. She started throwing Dean around, and he grunted, she stopped when Jesse yelled.
"Leave him alone!"
"Jesse-" She huffed. "You're gorgeous. You have your father's eyes." She said.
"Who are you?" Jesse asked.
"I'm your mother." The demon said.
"No, you're not!"
"I am. You're half human, half one of us." She stretched her arms out.,
"She means demons, Jesse!" Dean yelled, the demon then held her hand up and my brothers started groaning.
"Those people you call your parents, they lied to you." She said. "You're not theirs, not really."
"My mom and dad love me."
"Do they? Is that why they leave you alone all day? Because they love you so much? These people, these imposters, told you the tooth fairy was real, that your toys could hurt you, and 100 other things that aren't true. They love you so much that they made your whole life a lie. Look into your heart, Jesse. You've always known they aren't your parents, that you're not theirs, and everyone has lied to you! They aren't real FBI agents. You aren't a superhero."
"What am I?"
"Powerful." She said and I was trying to think of what to say. "You can have anything you want, do anything you want."
"Don't listen to her, Jesse!"
"They treated you like a child! They lied to you, everyone lied to you! Doesn't that make you angry!?" I saw Jesse clench his hand and the house began to shake.
"See it does make you angry."
"I didn't!" I growled and they looked at me. "We did lie, but I didn't treat you like a child." She suddenly punched me in the face and I buckled to the ground. "I'll tell you the -" she kicked my jaw.
"Stop it!" Jesse said and she froze. "I want to hear what she says."
"We lied to you." I wiped my nose of blood. "I'm sorry we did. Here's the truth." I said and he nodded. "My name is Millie Winchester, these are my brothers, Sam, and Dean. We hunt monsters." I said.
"Except when you are the monsters? Right, Millie? Sam?"
"That woman you're looking at is your mother Julia. But the thing inside her, the one talking to you, isn't. It's a demon." I said and he gasped.
"A demon??"
"They have done nothing but lie to you! You shouldn't listen, you should punish them-"
"Sit down and shut up!" He yelled at her and a chair flew to her forcing her to sit, and she couldn't speak.
"Jesse, you are Half human just like she says, and Half demon," I said and he looked scared. "But I'm half human too." I finally took a step, and moved to him, sitting him down. "I'm half human, half angel, so I know how you're feeling," I said and he looked down.
"So are you good and I'm... Bad?"
"No," I said. "See right now, there's a war between Demons and Angels. And we're both in the middle of it."
"But I'm a kid! You're not."
"It's a bit unfair, I know but... If you go with her, we can't stop you, no one can, but if you do millions of people will die. You may be half-demon Jesse, but you're half-human too. You have choices, just like I did. Demons came for me too and tried to take me, just like you... But that man there..." I pointed at the action figure. "He protected me. And now I'm protecting you. You can choose, you have choices, but the wrong ones will haunt you for the rest of your life." I said.
"Why are you telling me this?" He asked.
"Because I believe in you," I said and he nodded, looking at his mom.
"Get out of her." He said and she shot back, smoke leaving her mouth and leaving the home. He went to check on his Biological mother and looked at me.
"Will she be okay?"
"Soon, yeah," I said picking up Cas. "Jesse, I wasn't lying to you when I said this was my friend. Can you turn him back maybe?"
"He tried killing me!"
"Yeah, you're right, I know people get scared and they do regretful stuff. He was scared." I said sitting down and holding him.
"I'm gonna talk to Sam and Dean okay?" He asked and I nodded, I stared down at Castiel, and I touched his plastic hands. I was sad he didn't listen to me, at all. I put him down next to me and covered my face suddenly I felt a hand on my shoulder.
"Jesse left," Castiel said and I nodded.
"I know. I felt it." I sighed.
"I'm sorry." He said and I didn't look his way. "I should have listened... You were right." He sighed and I looked down.
