Sam and Dean parked their car in front of the fifth church they found. The previous four had all been empty. They hoped luck would be on their side for a change.
Dean pushed the door of the church open and looked inside.
“Hello?” he called. When they didn’t get a response he cursed. “Have all priests been abducted by aliens or something?”
“I don’t know. Maybe Lucifer foresaw our plan and prevented it by killing all priests” Sam replied concerned.
They heard a noise somewhere at the back of the church. The door of the confessional opened and a man in robes came out.
“Father!” Sam exclaimed. The priest frowned and Sam and Dean walked towards him. “We’re sorry for bothering you this time of night”
“That’s no bother” the priest waved away Sam’s apology. “God’s doors are always open, regardless day or night”
“We need your help” Sam continued agitated. “Our friend…he’s being possessed by the devil”
The candles in the church caught fire.
“Ssshh” the priest hissed. “You can’t say things like that in a place like this” Then, in a whisper tone: “The devil, you say?”
“Yes, and we need you to exorcise him. We already tried, but apparently it takes a lot more than a Latin chant to get Lucifer out of someone” Dean replied, not caring if he pissed off God.
Cracks appeared in the ceiling and the walls.
“You have to be careful of what you say” the priest warned again. He took Dean and Sam’s sleeves and walked them outside. “Now, we can speak freely. I know what you’re going to ask of me. But I can’t. I can’t perform an exorcism. Even if I wanted to, I’d need permission from the Church. There hasn’t been an exorcism in years”
Dean and Sam glanced at each other. They knew better.
“We don’t have time for permission” Dean snapped. “Cas is being possessed now and as long as Lucifer’s in there he’s in pain. So, I don’t care how you do it, but you’re going to help him. Am I clear?”
The priest took a step back. “There’s no place for the homosexuals in God’s church”
Dean’s mouth dropped open. “What? I’m not…!”, but the priest cut him off.
“Alright, then. Your friend needs help. He shouldn’t be punished for the immoral crimes of this young man”
“Seriously, I’m not gay!” Dean defended himself.
“Dean, shut up!” Sam snapped in return. “We’re so close to saving Cas. Don’t let your bruised ego ruin it now”
Dean pushed the door of the church open and looked inside.
