Supernatural House Arrest (Supernatural Fanfic)

Chapter 2

This is set at some point during the beginning of season 12 but without a specific part. Also, I -- er, Chuck got the idea from @_Penguin_G_'s story Roommates with Angels and Demons. She told me I didn't have to give her credit but you should go read it anyway, because I guarantee you won't regret it.

Dean braces himself for the finishing blow, but it doesn't come. Instead, he finds himself back at the Men of Letters bunker, his brother on one side and his crush-er, his angel friend on the other. Also with them is Crowley, but that's far from the worst thing he sees in this room.

Standing in front of them is everyone he's missed, and everyone he wished would never return. On one side, in a ring of holy fire, are three of the archangels: Michael, in the body of young John Winchester; Lucifer, in the body of his original vessel Nick; and Gabriel, in the body of Richard Speight Jr. Next to them in a devil's trap is Meg 2.0.

The most interesting ones are the ones who aren't trapped in anything at all. Standing there, between the fire and devil's trap, is the Winchesters' family, both by blood and by heart. There's Mary, John, Bobby, Benny, Charlie, and Kevin.

As suddenly as they all appeared, Chuck does, too. Everyone begins talking at once, but Chuck holds up a hand, and they all stop, though not by their own free will.

"Hey, guys!" Chuck greets them all with a smile. "So, you're probably wondering what the hell is going on."

"That's my line!" Gabriel complains.
Chuck ignores him and continues talking. "Well, I got bored, so I decided to bring you together and make you stay in the bunker for a few months. The door's jammed shut, and none of you can open it because God powers. Anyway, for those who have been dead for a while, it's currently the end of 2016, and congrats on being brought back to life. Alright, have fun. And no killing each other."

Before anyone can protest, Chuck leaves. Along with his exit is the disappearance of the holy fire and devil's trap, and now everyone is free. Once again, everyone starts talking at once, both overwhelmed at the situation and pissed that they have to deal with this.

"Everybody shut up!" Dean yells, causing the talking to trickle down. "Alright. I know none of us like each other, but it looks like we're stuck here. So, ground rules. No killing each other. Leave my room and Sam's room alone. When someone's sleeping, let them sleep. And Gabriel, just don't be you."

Gabriel clutches his heart as if shot. "Wow, Dean. After all I've done for you."

"Just because you said that, I'm going to go find your room and set it on fire," Lucifer announces.

"Bitch, don't even think about it," Dean snaps.

"This is fun and all, but who the hell are you people?" John asks. "Other than Dean, I don't know any of you."

"You know me!" Meg tells him. "You may not know it, but you do!"

"What about me?" Sam asks, offended.

John shakes his head. "No clue."

"That's Sam, Dad," Dean tells him. "You know, your other son?"

"You're Sam?" John repeats. "Wow, you've changed. What's up with your hair?"

Sam just rolls his eyes, sinking into his hip in a sassy pose.

"You know me, too," Mary adds from behind him.

John turns around, his eyes wide when he sees her. "Mary?" he asks quietly, his face softening at the sight of his wife. Mary just nods. "Oh my god," he whispers, pulling her into a hug.

"He goes by Chuck now," Castiel tells him. If John hear him, he doesn't acknowledge the angel. This seems to be the cue to start separate conversations.

Dean locks eyes with Benny, who grins at the sight of his friend. Benny walks towards him and gives him a man hug with the back slapping.

"Nice to see you again, brother," Benny greets him.

"You too, Benny," Dean replies. "Where've you been? Back in Purgatory?"

Benny nods. "Yep. Managed to survive a long while, but I've had some close calls. Really could've used your help again."

"We could've used you up here, too," Dean tells him.

~~

Gabriel bounds up to Sam, throwing his arms around the boy before he can react. Sam laughs and hugs the angel back.

"Oh my god, I've missed you," Sam murmurs.

"I sort of ceased to exist for a few years, so I was actually incapable of missing you, but I'm glad to see you again, Sam," Gabriel replies.

"I thought you were gone forever," Sam says. "I kept waiting for you to come back, but you didn't."

"I'm back now," Gabriel replies. "And I'm not leaving you again this time."

~~

Michael and Lucifer turn to face each other the first time since Lucifer got out of the cage. It's clear immediately that Michael had been healed from his mental trauma and is back to being his normal self. Great. Now the tension begins.

"Lucifer," Michael greets his brother, though it's more a formal gesture than any semblance of politeness.

"Hey, Mike, how ya been?" Lucifer asks, smirking. "Long time, huh? Hey, how's Hell life treating you?"

"Um... Not pleasant," Michael replies.

"Exactly. Now you know how I felt when you threw me down there." Lucifer storms away, not at all willing to talk to his older brother. Michael just sighs. Maybe getting his brother back won't be as easy as he had hoped.

~~

Charlie's eyes land on a girl not far from her. There's one thing she has to say right now, and that's that this girl is hawt. Charlie struts up to her, hoping she appears confident and not like a drunk girl in heels. The girl turns around and gives her a smile.

"Hey," she greets Charlie lazily.

"Hi!" Charlie replies with a huge grin. "I'm Charlie."

"Meg."

"Hi, Meg," Charlie says. Now it's quiet. Shoot, what should she say? Um... Um... Um...

"I haven't seen you around before," Meg says. "Where on the Winchester timeline of apocalypses are you from?"

"I helped them take down some Leviathans a while ago," Charlie tells her. "Among other things."

"Nice. How'd that go?"

Charlie goes into a long narrative, making herself seem cooler than she really is, if that's even possible. Meg just listens, entertained. After all, who doesn't love Charlie?
