The sound of screams echoed around the hotel corridors. Gods dying leaves an imprint into the world, they normal linger on as screams. Or pleas. Lucifer after millennium had been released and he was working on the knots in his shoulders and the anger in his mind.

Sam and Dean had long since given up on trying to get out and were resting on the beds waiting for a verdict that would never come. They both, at the same time, jolted awake and reached for their guns hidden under their pillows, the sounds of screams intensified as the door was thrown open.

Mercury was standing at the door with a key gesturing wildly at them with Gabriel at his back.

"Quickly you monkeys, you need to leave now. He is here and we are doomed." Mercury was breathing hard, his godly awareness had been shredded by the onslaught of Lucifer. It was worse as it was Percy's face he was fighting. The Winchester boys bolted towards the door, where Gabriel grabbed them. One, two, three, nothing happened.

"He's marked the place, no one flying out, no one flashing in. And that includes Poseidon. It seems he doesn't want to rush that reunion." Gabriel breathed out, suddenly out of breath, battling Lucifers wards seem to take it out of him like he was fighting some old war that had remerged with a stronger enemy, and with fresh troops.

"Where is Percy? We have to get him." Dean whispered, deeming it inappropriate to unsullen the silence that had fallen between the screams, or just to not let Satan know they were there. The two immortals were silent for a second before Mercury replied.

"He would want to get you out without risking your lives before risking them to get his out." The boys knew this was an immortal, version of a non-answer and they were used to these because of Castiel.

"Now you're making us worried," Sam started,

"Yeah, what aren't you telling us, why are you sounding like we can't save Percy or something. We cannot just leave him, we left a brother before, we are not doing it again." Dean finished.

Again the two immortals share a weighted look, sending a message to Sam and Dean who shared an equally heated look as they turned around a corridor coated in blood, and decorated in bodies of the fallen gods. The stench of ichor was sweet, not unlike the smell of rot and decay, but mixed with a heavier smell, something fruity and pleasing. The two deities passed the bodies and the blood with hardly a look, something that the Winchesters had to linger on.

After a few seconds of silence and picking their way through the slaughter field, the gods had seemed to come to a silent agreement.

"Lucifer is here. He is possessing Percy and this is most likely an attack not just on your relationship with him as your brother, which would mean that Sam, you would more likely say yes. It is also to get back at Poseidon, for sending Lucifer into the cage and originally making it. On the other side, he could be using Percy as a way of feeling closer to Poseidon, by taking over his favourite son and reliving the memories that Percy holds to get a sense of the type of God that he has become." Explains Gabriel, as they tread through the seemingly endless corridors of the hotel.

"We are getting nowhere, he knows where we are and he is toying with us, he wants us to go to him," Mercury said cutting off Gabriel. "We need to find him to get out so lets." He said cutting off abruptly as blood, bright and golden, bubbled out of his mouth. He was thrown backwards and hit the wall at the corner and dropped to the floor in a heap. Gabriel pulled out of his sword as Lucifer was turned towards Mercury and as he started to turn around his form shimmered slightly, the edged became less certain and the solid form looked misty.

"Sorry to interrupt, I was getting bored. It seems this body does come with some disadvantages after all." What was the worse thing about this version of Percy, the boys thought? It's that this was the first time they had seen his smile. Sarcastic, smooth, and lopsided. But it had deeper malice to it, the eyes shone, and it wasn't with an inner emotional value, but with hellfire. All the marks of a trouble maker. It showed the Winchesters the extent of Percy's sadness and deep-seated self-hatred.

Mercury still hadn't moved, yet the man parading Percy seemed unconcerned. The golden gauntlet shimmering in the yellow light of the hotel corridor. "Let's move into a more appropriate room shall we?"

The edged of the world started to blur as Lucifer moved around the three men standing around him. Leaving Mercury in a state of deep repair, he had decided that he should spare the young speedster, and he decided that controlling Percy and being inside him was a message to Poseidon enough. The blood of the Roman had shimmered off of his skin as they landed in the large hall of the hotel.

"Sam, Dean, brother." Lucifer started, walking in a jaunty circle around them with a smile tugging at his lips, "I guess you walking suits of meat have been informed that it is not, I, your long lost brother, Perseus Achillies Heroic sounding name Jackson. How funny, Jack Son, why is his name Jackson he is not the son of a Jack. Anyway, what was I saying, Oh! by the burning skin of the almighty flabby arse, his ADHD is really getting to me. You know I started to have a conversation with Ganesha about the delicate state of affairs in Heaven and how it mimics human society because I noticed that Heaven was like an English Feudal system."

As he was saying this Gabriel had managed to move us so we were in front of the door, and he was still ranting about the effect of the bodies natural defence against monsters to realise.

"Ok we get the picture, you got ADHD, move on to world domination plans already. The apocalypse just something other than the constant movement of your mouth without a filter, you got an ego." Gabriel huffed playing the role of the younger brother once more. He turned around to Sam and Dean and tossed an old CD and just said.

"Run on my sign which will be when I attack Him." He said as he turned around brandishing his archangel sword in one hand and an ordinary angel blade in the other. Where he had gotten was not something the boys wanted to know, so they started to back towards to exit sign, searching with fading hope in their heart for any sign of Percy breaking free of Lucifers control of his mind.

There would be no Deus ex Machina from their half-brother as he was still deep in the chasm of memory and forget. Having stirred from the peace once, the ocean inside of him trying to break containment. But today was not the day the sea would sleep in contentment or lie in euphoria. It might have been directed into a period of calm, but this calm was a wary calm, the sea in Percy's blood was waiting for Percy to break from his own containment. This would be when they could get free when the body and mind were working together to get the intruder out. Because Lucifers biggest mistake was him correlating and controlling the sea instead of gently guiding it. And the ocean remembers such things. And so does Percy.

Then all hell broke loose.
