Just what in the hell d'you mean, I've been brought here t'bring color! Don't give a damn about yer decoratin', I want you to tell me where you put my daughter!

[ MY GOD is she furious. Absolutely furious. 100% ragingly wanting to kill everyone right now furious. ]

This sure as hell ain't Heaven, though, is it? Asgard. [ She scoffs, shakes her head. Mostly she's annoyed. ] If these people actually knew what I know about Norse mythology and their heathen blood-drinkin' gods...

[ Well then. Back to the point. ]

Jo? Joanna Beth Harvelle. You answer me right this second! I know you're around here somewhere, girl. Ain't a way possible you're not.

It's something that the gods gave us to communicate. Really long story. I can explain it after you're done catching up with Jo.

[And a pause.]

It's -- really good to see you too, Ellen.

[Video]

[overprotects]

Sure thing. I'll be ready for debriefin' after awhile.

[ She notices that he looks... Um. Older. ] Hair got long, boy. You ought to cut it or someone's gonna come along and make braids while you're sleepin'.

[smartwinchester]

[ ... awk.]

Yeah, uh.

[Sam looks a little uncomfortable.]

The timestream is in flux here. I'm from your future.

[Video] PRIVATE AS FUCK.

[overprotects]

... What in hell? You tell me what happened, right now, Sam Winchester. You tell me my girl's sacrifice wasn't for nothin'.

[Video] PRIVATE AS FUCK.

[smartwinchester]

[Sam immediately tenses, at the attitude change -- and he seems to draw into himself, just a little bit, as he offers a quiet:]

No, ma'am, it wasn't.

[He pauses.]

Lucifer is gone. I dragged him back to the Cage.

[Video] PRIVATE AS FUCK.

[overprotects]

Dragged him? [ Oh, no. Please don't let that mean what she's worried it means. ] Sam. What'd you do?

[Video] PRIVATE AS FUCK.

[smartwinchester]

[Sam, even though that is far behind him, still doesn't like retelling the story. But it's Ellen -- and while Sam looks slightly uncomfortable, he doesn't look ashamed or bothered by it.]

I took Lucifer to Hell.

[Video] PRIVATE AS FUCK.

[overprotects]

... You took him. [ Oh, Sam. ]

Your whole damn family. Always tryin' t'be the heroes.

[Video] PRIVATE AS FUCK.

[smartwinchester]

I'm not a hero. I started it, so I needed to finish it.

[It's instant, but quiet, almost soft spoken.]

It's over now -- and I got out, eventually, but what matters is that it's over, and Lucifer isn't going to walk the planet ever again. He's trapped, where he should be, and your lives --

[And Sam pauses as his throat tightens.]

-- I don't want you to feel sorry for me.

[Video] PRIVATE AS FUCK.

[overprotects]

Like hell!

[ Ohmygod she is so mad she could spit. ]

Our lives? Dammit, Sam! Our lives are over! You were supposed to save the damn planet, not fork yourself over like a damn welcome basket. [ UGH UGH SO ANGRY. ]

What'dyou mean it's over - how the hell'd you get out of somethin' like that?

[Video] PRIVATE AS FUCK.

[smartwinchester]

I did save the planet.

[It's a protest, albeit a quiet one.]

The only way to save it was to drag Lucifer back to Hell, Ellen. We tried everything, but that was the only way. I didn't say yes because I wanted to, I said yes because nothing else was going to save us all.

[Video] PRIVATE AS FUCK.

[overprotects]

You coulda found another way, Sam. [ Should have. ] Don't get me wrong, I'm glad t'see you're alright and hear that Jo and I didn't die for nothin'. But we didn't die for you to go do a damn reckless thing like that, either.
