The future demon king nodded slowly as he waited for the hunters.

The Adgardian Prince looked at the small human. He blinked before nodding his head "very well. We can help"

"Know any good jokes?" Cornish asked, taking another swig of the drink.

Sam smiled gratefully, leading the group towards the impala. It would be a miracle if they'd all fit inside. Sam chuckled awkwardly. "Erm, we might need some people to travel by...you know...their own ways."

Castiel nodded, his nostrils flaring as he spotted Cornish and Crowley in the car. "Sam, Dean, I am afraid the demons have betrayed us."

Thor tossed his hammer "I can follow you in my way " said Gabriel and Balthazar code teleport.

"What do you mean Castiel?" Dean asked concerned now. They really didn't need tractors they where on thin ice as it was already with Lucifer starting to be more active.

"Cornish and Crowley are plotting in the car," Castiel said plainly. "I fear that they are working for Lucifer and mean to do us harm."

Castiel paused. "I must insist that we no longer work with them. They are demons. They cannot be trusted."

Meanwhile, Loki had just snagged himself one Jane Foster. The girl was limp in his arms, and he laughed, leaving the astronomy center with flair. Pulling out the girl's phone, he quickly sent a text on it to all of her contacts, a photograph of Jane with a battered and bloodied face. Knowing that one of them would alert Thor, Loki made his way to the nearest skyscraper, and set up a makeshift base at the very top of it.

Let the games begin.

Dean looked at Castiel "look cas I know demons are not your thing but right now they are the closest we will get to Lucifer so we need to play along for now" he said grimly.

Thor looked at the car confused but hearing his phone buzz he picked it up. Seeing Jane "no Jane!" He said freaked out "I must go, my girl is in trouble" he said spinning his hammer slightly

"How can we kill the devil if his servants undermine our every move?" Castiel asked, his eyes narrowed. "Do we have any proof that we can trust them?"

Sam frowned. Since when did the prince of Asgard carry a cell phone? However, he couldn't help but watch as their god of thunder vanished on them, leaving them a weaker team than they were before.

Cornish rapped up against the window, motioning at her wrist to indicate that the group needed to hurry up, completely oblivious to the many conversations going on outside.

THor flew toward the Skyscraper and landed "Jane?" he yelled out hoping to hear her respond or something. His hammer spun slightly lighting at the ready looking around carefully.

Dean looked at Castiel and looked at the two demons "Look we shall watch them carefully okay?" he asked raising an eyebrow slightly. he called over sam as they walked toward the car.

Loki lurked in the shadows, stepping out, a gleaming smile playing across his white lips. Rocking from side to side almost as he walked, as if the chains continued to bind him, he stopped, and regarded his so-called brother. Shaking his head, light danced in those pale blue eyes, yet not a dance of mirth--but one of horror.

"I see you've come to play fetch, brother dear," Loki chided. "I have hidden your mortal, you see. Where she is, even I do not know!"

He laughed, snapping his fingers. In an instant, Jane vanished, and was deposited deep within the pits of hell. Loki merely laughed, watching his brother in pain and frustration. "What are you going to do, brother dear? Throw your hammer at me?"

The group piled into the car, with Castiel taking off. His wings disturbed the leaves on the ground, throwing them forward. Cornish glanced at Crowley, and mimed shooting herself in the head. She had no desire to stay by the Winchester's side, but in order to keep up the charade, they had to. They couldn't run off like the angels.

They were on a short leash already, as it was.

"What's the plan, then?" Cornish yawned, flopping back in her seat as Sam climbed into the shotgun seat. "Are we really just going to shoot at Lucifer and hope it works? Because last I checked, hun, that isn't going to bloody work!"

She leaned forward slightly, seething. "I'm putting my ass on the line for you morons and all you can do is having fucking bro-ments instead of getting anything done!"

Thor eyes narrowed "where the Odin's name is she" he snarled grabbing him by the straps of his armor "This us not a game where is she loki" he snapped eyes narrowed.

Lucifer looked over seeing a lady appear and raised an eyebrow"who might you be?"

Dean tighened his hands on the steering wheel "Shut up. Look we will figure something out okay?" He huffed eyes narrowed slightly. He drove them to the motel.

Crowley raised an eyebrow"we coukd try and destroy him with Rowena magic" he said the witch that was his mother was gifted in powerful spells.

Loki chuckled, hardly caring as his brother seized him. "Brother, brother!" he cackled, "Had you been listening, I already told you that I know not where your mortal has gone!"

He grinned, winking slightly at his brother. He loved to mess with Thor, and knowing his brother, he'd be able to find Jane. There were mortals on this world with methods of tracking anyone and everyone. Surely, with a slight push, all would be well.

"The sons of Winchester, brother, they know where your mortal has gone!" Loki taunted.

---

"Yes, because the bloody devil can be destroyed by a witch!" Cornish hissed. "Honestly, you lot make me cry. How can you be so thick? Aren't the Winchesters supposed to be impressive?"

Sam chuckled awkwardly, grimacing a bit. "Cornish is right...Magic won't do anything against the devil. We've got to find another way..."

Castiel appeared outside of the impala, alongside the other angels. "We must render Lucifer onto the cage and seal it once more."

"he can be weakened with the right spell" Crowley corrected looking out the window.

The thunder god glared "the winchesters ?" He asked a bit confused.

Dean huffed "well the witch knows how to seal the gates" he as Crowley nodded.

"That's true"

Cornish glared. "Sealing the gates? I will not allow you to do that. That'd be throwing Crowley and myself into the pit with him for all eternity." Her eyes flashed black.

"Sealing the gates won't stop him," Sam grimaced. "And even with a spell, he's still too powerful. Castiel's right--we just need to re-seal the cage."

Castiel nodded. "With the angel tablet, this should be easy to accomplish."

"The Winchesters," Loki whispered with a cackle.

"well we don't have it anymore!" Dean said Dean frustrated sighing gently. As he drove them back to the motel. He got out and sighed softly . They had limited time.

Thor glared before he flew off to where the wincheser and crashed through the roof and picked Sam up sharply "where is my girl" he snarled.

Dean jumped up "let my brother go , how the hell we sopost to know?"

Cornish and Crowley were crushed underneath the god of thunder. Cornish stared at Crowley, giving him a look that would've been classic on the hit show the Office. She rolled her eyes, feeling no pity for her meatsuit. If the girl ever got her life back, she'd be paralyzed from the waist down.

The boys, at least, managed to clear the path of the angry god of thunder.

"Thor! We don't know!" Sam exclaimed, his eyes wide. "We were with you just a minute ago! We don't have her!"

Castiel glanced up at Thor, reading his mind. "The mortal is not here, Odinson. I fear that Lucifer may have her soul."

Thor eyes narrowed and looked at castiel "And who is Lcifer?" he snapped as Dean looked at him "First off drop my brother now! Second of all who the hell told you that sam would know?" he demanded as thor growled.

"Loki told me you would know" he said as dean's eyes widen slightly "Cas....you don't think....that.....Loki would ever make a deal with him?"

Sam shook his head at his brother, entirely puzzled. What was with all of the chick flick moments lately? Grabbing a bit of holy water from his pocket, he opened the flask, and tossed the water on Dean. He managed to struggle free from Thor's grip as well, and stared up at the god.

"Look, Lucifer is...he's the devil," Sam explained. "Rules over hell and everything...If he has your...your mortal then...that's not good."

Castiel looked at Dean, and nodded. "I believe it is so, Dean."

"FUCKING HELL! No he can't make deal with the devil!" dean said annoyed and hissed slightly annoyed slightly. "Thor can you get your brother for us ? We really need to talk with him for a dsmall bit" he said to Thor who was uneasy before dropping Sam and flew off. He then came Back with Loki and dropped him to the ground.

Crowley raised an eyebrow "he? he is the god of trickery?" he snorted with laughter smirkign slightly "making deals with the devil?"

Loki glanced up, watching as thunder struck the sky. His brother appeared shortly, the scarlet cape whipping in the winds. He frowned a bit, noticing the lack of Jane Foster.

"Brother dear? Have you forgotten how to fly?" Loki teased. "You've gone in circles!"

He snickered, though his laughter stilled as Thor advanced. In immense confusion, Loki found himself hoisted into the air by Thor, and practically thrown back to the Winchester's motel. With the force and the distance, the impact made by Thor dropping him was enormous. A ten foot circle of concrete was broken and destroyed, with Loki down in the center of the newly created pit. Groaning a bit, Loki took a moment to think over the life choices that brought him to this moment.

And of course, the choices he'd soon be making to avoid this situation in the near future.

"Thank you for the ride, brother dear," Loki muttered sullenly. "I always did enjoy flying with you..."

Cornish peeled herself out of the wreckage of the impala, wiping aside the blood on her leg. She frowned at Crowley, raising an eyebrow. "So? It makes total sense--god of trickery, the devil. They'd get on fantastically."

For not the first time since working for him, Cornish suspected that Crowley had gone soft. He was practically senile, losing his touch. He had recruited her, convinced her that she could only live if Lucifer was defeated. But this? This would hardly do anything to stop their doom. And now, now each of them would become Lucifer's favorite playthings, doomed to torture, and forbidden from the kind release of death.

Sam nodded. "They're pretty much the same archetype, with both of them tricksters...They work with lies and deceit. Loki is almost the norse version of Lucifer," Sam explained. "...I took a class on comparative mythology at Stanford..."

Castiel surveyed Loki, his eyes narrowed. The more wild cards that appeared, the less he liked this. This was a war they had to win, against the devil. It wasn't something they could leave to chance. "Is it true that you have rendered a mortal woman onto the devil, norse god?" Castiel asked bluntly, his eyes glowing faintly.

Loki chuckled a bit. "I can see you, Castiel...The fallen angel...You are no different than the thing you fear most."

Castiel fumed, continuing to glare towards the pit. Had Thor not been in the way, Castiel would have picked Loki up himself, and demanded an answer. He had no wish to play games. He merely wanted to save the world--and Dean Winchester.

"Yo, numb nuts, did you take the mortal or not?" Cornish asked. "Big fan of your work, by the way. Could you sign my meat-suit?"

Slowly rising from the pit, Loki grinned, shaking his hair slightly. "I know not where the mortal is--but perhaps leaving her in Lucifer's cage does ring a bell, brother dear!"
