Oh, so that's why she kissed him. At least it was a 'nice' way to put him 'safely' out of the way. Neal, holding his con to the bitter end ;) Yay, Sara got her from behind, that was a clever and unexpected plan :) Neal probably enjoyed sharing the story, especially since he would have had his listeners sitting on the edges of their seats waiting to hear how they finally triumphed :) I'm not surprised that they toasted Astrena's demise. However, I do find it interesting that they assume that Astrena and Electra were separate people that left Maia behind as if she was really who she portrays/believes herself to be. Elizabeth's perspective was interesting to see as she observed how close she'd unwittingly gotten to Astrena as well as her concern with how the situation might affect her desire for a little one. It's a good idea to let Peter remodel the office for her since he's so excited to have come up with the perfect gift, and then figure out a nursery later when it's time for one. (I'm sure they'll either find a place, or they can move if necessary). Ah, I didn't see Bobby moving in until I reached that point in the chapter, but he'll be a good addition to their team considering where they're moving and what they might encounter.

Sara and her baton work made her perfect to dispatch Astrena and save Man a note of correction Daphne was Mia’s cat based on her familiarity with the room and being on the bed when Maia move out it became h room cats are territorial

It's good to have Astrena finally gone. Or hopefully so. Gemma is still around but I'm hopeful that she won't reappear just yet.

I absolutely love the Mystery Mansion! It's great to have to boys have an actual home, particularly because they don't have the bunker at this point. And for them to share it with Maia, Chloe and Bobby... Really, everything seems to be going really very well.

Except perhaps for Crowley... Who, while not exactly doing badly, is extremely alone. Which is kind of his usual state, but especially painful after seeing him with Maia earlier. I do hope he'll get himself a bit of friendship at some point.

Sam and Dean arrived just in time! This was exciting. I was impressed by Sara wielding the sword. The visions of Vulcan and Final Fantasy as some of the group was enchanted to sleep was very clever, an extra creative touch. The house is fascinating, and I like the aspect that it is now welcoming and warm. It has embraced its new owners and will serve and protect Chloe and Maia. With Bobby moving in too! You wrote Bobby very well, exactly as he would speak and interact with Dean.

I was a bit surprised Henry didn’t access Seth’s watch for more information, though as you say in your notes, maybe he will later. In the meantime there may be other research he can do, in a more traditional style. El was interesting looking at Peter and contemplating this stage of their lives. She’s noted that the team solved a problem without him and that he didn’t need to intervene. That tells us where she is at and what she is considering. A baby will change a lot of things El, and it may feel like there isn’t a perfect time. There isn’t! Don’t worry!

Sara is trying to transfer back to the US. Neal will be very happy if she does. There are marriages of friends scheduled. He’s bound to be thinking about that too. I wonder how you will write the relationship. It’s been fun and sweet and very loving so far. Thanks for this story. Looking forward to Arkham Files. Best wishes and stay well!

I hope the Winchesters are right too, because Astrena is only going to become a bigger problem if she isn't stopped! Really, or has she already gotten to Travis and Richard... that would be the question. Ha, that was a bad decision, the tea was obviously going to have troubling repercussions, but they didn't know that which is why they drank it :( Ah, that's how you planned to have Daphne rescue them, I doubt Sara will ever regret having let the cat in with them :) Finally! Neal figured out that Electra is Astrena, that means that her days of being a problem are numbered, and hopefully that will draw to an end soon :) Sara is clearly more afraid of being in a dangerous house than of running a mile in the cold, but at least the cold is easier to handle than whatever Electra will have waiting for them! Neal is putting on the performance of a lifetime! However, I think the lot are going to have quite a battle before them, but I also know they'll at least get away safely, if not win and banish Astrena. I don't think Peter and the rest of their family and friends will appreciate learning how close they got to Astrena, but I'm sure they'll be glad when she's gone!

I look forward to the next chapter to see Electra in a fight for her very existence

Well, that was nice of Beethoven. Things are starting to look up, just a little. I mean, at least most of them know that they're in danger, right? That's a good thing. Even if Astrena is now in full attack mode.

Can't say I'm pleased to see Neal so enraptured with Astrena but... At least it's a con? With some really high stakes, but he can work with that. Hopefully they'll actually be able to banish Astrena now, I've been waiting for this for a long time.

Neal is running a con for his life and the life of his friends. He’s doing it well too! He must be sick inside and thank goodness she chose ego over sex or he would really have to overdose on charm. Speaking of ‘dosing’, are the others okay? Are they just sleeping due to the hex bag? Electra was planning for she and Chloe to feed off Travis and Richard. How horrible! I think, I am not sure, that once she feeds on them then they are linked, which means vulnerable to whatever Electra wants. She is looking for power and vengeance and they are simply frail humans. This is so good! When I think even almighty immortal goddesses can’t manage all of human nature and the coincidence of a cat waking up her humans under a sleeping spell it makes me hopeful. It’s not power that will overcome, it is humanity. Interesting.

Sara is great. She got to Sam and Dean in time. They have weapons and a plan. The stained glass angels that turned into demons are a big surprise. Where is Neal? Electra? Will Maia have to take her down? Looking forward to the rest.

Electra seems unstoppable right now. She has Chloe in her grasp and soon Maia. What will she make them do? Does she have intentions on Richard and Travis? The symbolism of the seven orchids for the panels and the friends is very interesting. This is happening while Neal is being impacted by dreams. The dreams must be planted by Electra to weaken and distract him so she can take advantage. I am worried for him. If he ignores the messages he may wind up in worse condition.

I like Sam and Dean urging the women in their lives to be aware of dark magic and how easily good witches can be susceptible. I like the music and art Neal and his friends share. Flowers and herbs used for healing. And the friendships are enjoyable. Thanks for the chapter.

Tatyana would be a good guard dog in size, but not in intimidation factors... however she does sound like a comfy cuddle for entertainment and warmth purposes :) Hmm, yeah, the kitchen might smell good but it sounds like it would be crowded with all of their herbs everywhere. Saying something is impossible is to say that you know and have taken everything into account, in general, that's not a good idea... especially considering the things that they deal with. The guys have good reasons to be grateful for the girl's abilities to arm them with new defenses and offenses, they're going to need them! Hmm, Neal is making progress towards being aware that not all is right in Electra's presence, but he's still got a lot to figure out with time running out. Oh boy, I knew there was going to be trouble, but I wasn't expecting that... it looks like everyone is in extreme danger. I know you won't let them get hurt, but I'm not coming up with how you'll get them out of this, so I'll have to wait and see what you have in mind.

Electra's plans for this weekend unfolding are really worrying me. She's clearly thought this through and if she's planning to make both Chloe and Maia her sisters...

Well, a vampiric witch, and whatever else Electra might have around, that's what's waiting for them ;) It's a good thing Sara isn't deterred by Neal's magnetism for trouble, she's probably going to be confronted by it often enough. Hmm, Neal could probably pull off any car in the right outfit, and Sara could probably match him for flexibility. It's a good thing Electra doesn't know about Sara and Neal yet, otherwise Sara might find herself in a tight spot facing whatever Electra comes up with in jealousy. Daphne sounds like a cute fuzz ball of a kitty :) It sounds like a very busy and complicated filming schedule, but I'm sure Aidan will manage to get it all done despite whatever complications might come up. At least Sara is there to help make Neal feel better from his crazy dream. My theory is that Beethoven is how you're trying to get Neal to remember that Electra is Astrena, between his music and dreams, he might remember what he once knew. Then if they mix their mixture and the sword, Astrena could be in trouble, the banished kind of trouble.

Aidan’s movie might be a bit scary. Neal abducted to an alien planet! Or even Neal abducted at all could mess with his mind. He has proven to be very strong and he has Sara so I shouldn’t worry. Not too much! Beethoven at the piano was more than a dream, wasn’t it? It was Electra influencing him. How? Why? Is she still trying to gain his talent? What does she want? Her home seems amazing, the glass panels gorgeous. I have to look at the board on Pinterest. Thanks for the chapter.

Lilith. Did Electra once know her? That would be interesting... Actually, I suppose technically she's still alive? I do hope she doesn't actually appear, I don't really like what I know of her.

Beethoven... Is this Electra trying to make him remember what happened, or is it something else entirely?

Mozzie trying to wheedle Neal into doing something for him... that's normal ;) But, giving him his due credit, he does a lot for Neal! Neal will have a lot of sensitive points by the time you're done with him ;) At least El will be out of the line of fire. Oh, I don't want to ask what odd things they could come up with to intermix aliens and kids... However, since Diana had Theo in canon, maybe she's more maternal than they expect? Ouch, Peter is being sweet and coming up with a nice present, but unfortunately, it's not the one she's looking for. Ooh, Astrena might be vanished in the coming future :) Their lives will be a little safer to have her gone whenever that comes about. It sounds like the Winchesters might be getting closer to figuring things out, but they probably aren't going to like what they find. It looks like the Winchesters and Winslows are related, and I get the feeling you're having a ball creating that link ;)
