(Hammer of the Gods Continued-Jess's POV)
The last thing Jess remembered was a bright light enveloping the kitchen. She had been about to hit a goon with some fruit but now she wasn't sure where she was.
The hunter looked around the space she was in. It was a dark room filled with many curtains. A bed dead center in the room and a banquet table filled with desserts.
Jessica rubbed her eyes and sat up from the floor. She looked over her shoulder to see if Sam and Dean had somehow been transported with her but she was alone. Or so she thought.
"Hello there."
Jess turned back to see some short dude in a jacket. He had niceish hair...but had some stupid smirk on his face...like she was supposed to know who he was.
Jess stumbled to her feet. "Where am I?"
"Right into the boring questions...sit down kid. Have a cake roll or Pavlova." He said and gestured to the buffet table.
Jessica squinted her eyes at him and crossed her arms in a defensive stance. "I prefer pie actually."
The man only smiled and then snapped his fingers. All sorts of pie appeared out of the thin air. Jess glared at the man in front of her. He could summon her and objects but what was he? Cas could do those sorts of things but Chloe couldn't. Did that mean this guy was an angel?
"I'm not hungry. Where are my friends?"
"They're fine...look, Jess, not to be blunt but you're really cramping on my style. I'm not your enemy here...so relax—"
Jess shoved the man back a step out of her immediate bubble and drew out her gun. The safety clicked off and the gun rose to aim at the man. Jess took a breath. The man remained where he stood...unmoving. The witch from last week was the last thing on her mind now. She was tired, didn't know where the brothers were an angel or not, she wasn't dying, not today.
He didn't seem to be scared, in fact, he was calm...too calm. Like he knew the gun wouldn't hurt him. She lowered the gun somewhat so it wasn't pointed directly at him.
"I don't know who you are...and I don't really care. Take me back right now." She threatened.
A sly grin filled the features of the short man. She was disgusted and slightly annoyed. Like lightning, she changed her aim and shot at a cake on the table. Dessert went all over the place, some even landing in the man's hair. All he did was chuckle and then started clapping like she was acting in a play.
"Stunning performance my dear, they've trained you so well!"
Jess looked down at her gun calmly. If he was an angel it would definitely not hurt him. She needed to start carrying an angel blade around in case this happened again in the future.
The short man took a slight step forward, "Look...I'll take you back to them, but we need to talk first...alone." He said with a grin.

(Sam's POV)
Dean and Sam had had just about enough of these gods and were looking for an opportunity to just leave the conference room as an argument broke out.
The brothers slowly got up from their chairs and edged toward the door but of course, a chandelier fell down into their path. Chad, whose actual name was Mercury, started talking about giving the Winchesters the benefit of the doubt before they were used as bargaining chips but Kali...the goddess of destruction wasn't so happy about that and tried to choke and kill him.

So this was the perfect moment for Gabe and Jess to show up.
"Can't we all just get along?" Gabe half yelled as he barged through the conference room doors.
Jess was close behind him and she waved to Sam once she saw her friends were okay. Sam's face fell into relief when he saw Jessica but then he saw Gabe...his face froze in annoyance. As did Dean's.
The brothers both started to say his name but Gabe made some odd motion with his fingers...like he was slicing the air which rendered but Sam and Dean speechless.
Jess nudged Gabe who just gave her a look and continued his well-rehearsed speech as he strolled into the room, "Sam...Dean, it's always wrong place, worst time with you muttonheads, huh?"
Kali's hunky companion spoke up, "Loki."
"Baldur. Good seeing you too. I guess my invitation got lost in the mail."
While Gabe was distracted, Jess came up behind Sam and grabbed his hand, and tried to pull him towards the door but he stopped her and shook his head. They had to stay and figure out what was going on.
"Why are you here?" Baldur asked.
"To talk about the elephant in the room." Gabe said and then looks at Ganesh who made to get up but Gabe held up a finger, "Not you. The Apocalypse. We can't stop it, gang. But first things first." He turned back to the Winchesters and Jess. "The adults need to have a little conversation. Check you later."
A snap is heard and the gang appeared back in the hotel room. Sam saw Jess was starting to pack up all her stuff.
Dean blinked "Okay Did that....holy crap!"
"Yeah, tell me about it. By the way, next time I say let's keep driving, uh, let's keep driving."
"Okay Yeah. Next time." His brother agreed while turning to Jess, "You alright? He didn't hurt you?" He asked.
Jess just shrugged and threw her backpack on her shoulders, "He tried to offer me some sort of Pavlov cake thing but no he didn't do anything to me..."
Sam shot her a weird look but kept going. "Alright, so what's our next move?"
"Leave," Jess said.
Dean nodded at her words. "Grab those poor saps outta the freezer, I guess? Bust 'em out? Gank a few freaks along the way if we're lucky?"
"And when are you ever lucky?" Gabe said from across the room. He had taken a seat on the couch and not even Jess knew how long he'd been there. She rolled her eyes at him.
"Well, you know what, bite me, Gabriel," Dean said
"Maybe later."
"I should've known. This had your stink all over it from the jump."
"You think I'm behind this?" Gabe asked as Jess went into the bathroom to grab their toiletries.
"You wanna pull us outta the fire?" Dean seriously asked.
Gabe nodded "Bingo! Those guys are either gonna dust you, or use you as bait. Either way, you're uber-boned."
Dean couldn't believe what he was hearing. Jess rolled her eyes again at their stupid banter and started packing up Dean's stuff that he'd left on his bed.
"Wow, 'cause a couple of months ago you were telling us that we need to 'play our roles'. You're uber boning us!"
Jess took Sam's bag from the floor and put it in his hand and then grabbed Dean's bag herself. Gabe started lightly pacing the room.
"Ohh... The end is still nigh. Michael and Lucifer are gonna dance the lambada, but not tonight. Not here."
"And why do you care?" Dean asked.
Gabe shrugged. It didn't look like he gave two hoots. Sam internally rolled his eyes at the situation. Anything that had to do with the trickster usually ended up someone dying or mass chaos.
"I don't care. But, me and Kali we, uh, had a thing. Chick was all hands. What can I say? I'm sentimental."
Sam, who had been silently listening to Dean and Gabriel bicker, finally spoke up.
"Do they have a chance? Against Satan?"
Dean glanced over at his brother. "Really, Sam?"
Sam matched his gaze. "You got a better idea?"
Jessica looked between the two and grinned, "Yeah...not dying!" She exclaimed and shoved the uneaten chocolate from Sam's pillow into her mouth with no grace whatsoever. She really couldn't believe they were all having this conversation and wished she could bake something to destress.
Gabe smiled at her, "I knew I liked you for a reason...it is a bad idea," He said and turned back to Sam. "Lucifer's gonna turn them into finger paint. So let's get going while the going's good, hmm?"
"Okay great, why don't you just zap us outta here then?"
"Would if I could, but Kali's got you by the short and curlies. It's a blood spell. You boys are on a leash." Gabe told them.
Dean just stared at him "What does that mean?"
"It means it's time for a bit of the old black magic." The trickster said and sprayed his mouth with breath spray.
Jess rolled her eyes, "That's where Gabe and I come in. He's gonna grab the blood and Imma run interference...and I suppose we are also gonna save the freezer people. Maybe we should give Chloe a call?"
"No!" Dean said.
"Why not? She's great in a fight." Jessica stared both of the brothers down.
"There's no way for her to get here in time."
"Um...can't Gabriel just bring her here?" Jessica asked and looked over at the trickster.
"Nooooo nooo nooo, It's gonna be hard enough to get you three out...we're not involving anyone else alright."
Dean smirked at Jess and then said, "They called you Loki, right? Which means they don't really know who you are?"
"Told you. I'm in witness protection." He said.
Dean took a step forward. "Okay, well then how about you do what we say, or we tell the, uh, legion of doom about your secret identity. They don't seem like a real pro-angel kinda crowd."
Jess whipped her head up, "I knew it!"
Gabe looked at her, his eyes wide. Apparently, he hadn't wanted her to know who he was. "I'll take your voices away."
"We'll write it down." The elder Winchester argued.
"I'll cut off your hands." The angel said...like he was trying to be intimidating.
Jess's face screwed up...he would not in fact be cutting her hands off if she had any say in the matter because that was just ridiculous.
Dean countered with "Well then, people are gonna be asking, Why are you guys running around with no hands?"
"Fine," The angel said. "But you can't come with."
Dean's face crumpled in confusion.
"What?"
Gabriel rolled his eyes and raised his hand to Jessica's forehead. "Not you two, her." He said and zapped her away.
