Lucifer paces around the edges of the cage while Sam rests deep within. Michael stands in the center, turning to keep his eyes on his brother, arms crossed and expression either annoyed or angry, Lucifer's not sure. Probably both.
Michael doesn't speak. Lucifer keeps silent.
Time passes and finally Sam unfurls from his sleep, taking control with ease.
"He wasn't lying, you know," Sam says, stretching.
Michael doesn't respond. Adam's burning out like the poor bastard Lucifer wore before Sam, and Sam walks over to him, looks him in the eye. "Can you let Adam go?" Sam asks softly.
Michael flicks him a glance. "Adam is in Heaven," he says.
Sam sighs in relief. "Good," he says. "That's good."
Turning away, he recedes again. Maintaining control is hard, with Lucifer filling every part of him.
Lucifer gazes at his brother, looking past the shell. So long without seeing Michael, away from the wonders and glories of Heaven, and just being near Michael's grace...
"You would have won," Michael says suddenly. "I should have stood with you, and you would have won when I didn't."
Lucifer smiles, and deep inside, Sam shifts, missing his brother.
