Why don't you try Venus? I hear the air is great.

Tivoli.

Why hello Dean. And no, I'm looking for something a bit more exotic. And I was just wondering if you can help a friend.

[ Metatron wants nothing to do with any of this. More in fact, he wants to go somewhere else where he can watch everything unfold just as he planned for it. ]

Saturn then?

[Cue skeptical look.]

A friend?

Eeeeh, I was thinking somewhere a bit more livelily. You do know there's planets out there full of life. Of course, not, the human mind as creative as it is. It is just so narrow when it comes to the rest of the universe.

[ Metatron mockingly places his hands to his heart, and a smug smile on his fat face. He feigns a look of surprise. ]

What?! I thought we were best friends, I mean come on look at the new and improved life I gave you! I'm sure you're more than happy to beat the shit out of anyone who happens to get in your way.

I'm gonna tell you the same thing I told Crowley: we ain't friggin' besties. You didn't give me anything. And that whole beating the shit out of anyone who happens to get in my way? That still includes you.

[ He rolls his eyes, and he's ready to defend himself if he must. He won the last time despite everything coming up Winchester. He holds up a finger, and he tuts. ]

I unlocked the key to you finding your true calling. I didn't exactly expect that ending, but who was! Now look at you, you've got the whole of planet Earth in your hand. You could destroy everything if you wanted to!

So, what is stopping you from letting it all out?

Venus for the seaside, Mars for the punch-ups!

I was hoping for some of the finer things the universe has to offer. A planet that's made to cater to one's need to relax.

Relax? Oh. [ That... needs some thinking. ] The only place I know that caters that way is Earth. There're probably some nice exoplanets out there too, but I couldn't tell you where. Kind of hard to get to anyway.

[ Metatron just plays dumb, and he lowers his head in disappointment. The angel wants off of the planet to leave it to what fate becomes it. ] I was hoping to hear something else. Then I suppose a nice vacation somewhere on Earth will do.

It's just I'd like to avoid half of the population on it. Humanity tends to be very noisy, and I'd like to enjoy a bit of peace and quiet.

Trouble is, where there's no humanity you get... other things, you know? [ She thinks hard, wanting to help. ] You could ask around about sector fifteen-

[ Her Ghost's voice pipes in. ] You mean New Zealand?

Right. One of the Hunters said there's almost no-one out there. Sounds like a place you could set up a pretty comfortable camp and not be disturbed.

Unfortunately the only other planet I know of with life on it is dying as we speak.

What's so good about Sector fifteen? What about all of those other sectors?

[ Metatron looks over at the strange thing besides Blaze. He mphs to himself. ] I do like New Zealand, love the landscapes. I even considered Iceland. The place looks like hell on Earth, but I can just get a small trailer and watch everything goto shit.

Buuuut I like your plan. A little camp up in the mountains, and I can tell humanity what to do with itself.

Let me guess. Earth.

[Startlingly, she shakes her head.]

The one I'm thinking of is much further along than Earth. Earth still has green.

[ Metatron raises an eyebrow. ]

And what planet is this that you speak of?

Agr'di. Where I came from. What few useless sods are left on the planet expected me to fix it all on my lonesome since I'm the last mage the planet produced. Idiots wouldn't listen when I told them I needed them to help if I was going to fix the place.

[A pause]

Your welcome to the place if you think you can deal with the disaster. I can probably reopen the portal I used to get here.

[ Blaze fairly beams when he approves of her suggestion - she is making a contribution - although some of his phrasing strikes her as odd. ] If you want somewhere you definitely won't get chased by four-armed nasties, there aren't too many options. I mean, not if you want nice weather and edible wildlife too.

[ After all, most human-friendly environments now have ruins full of technological goodies that alien vandals love to loot. Not to mention surviving humans. ]

It... is still very dangerous out there on your own. You'll want to make sure you're prepared for it.

[ Metatron's not exactly sure what universe he found himself in, but anyone but the one he's in works. He raises an eyebrow though when Blaze brings up four-armed nasties. He wonders if he'd be considered a nasty something. ]

Ooooh, I'm pretty good when it comes to wilderness survival. And I'm pretty sure I'd make it out there on my own. As for any four armed nasties, I'd say they'd have a hard time dealing with someone like me.

[ Metatron thinks for a bit. He wonders why she's telling him, oh wait, he asked for it. He waves a hand in the air, and he looks at her with a shrug. ]

I think we can leave your home planet to rot. I've got other things to do with my time than to fix someone's problems.

[She grins, and he might see a flash of fangs. Of course, she just admitted to coming from another planet, so it should be no surprise she isn't human.]

Fair enough. That's why I left myself. I suppose if I ever find somewhere suitable I could try to let you know.

[ It's entirely possible. Probably lucky Blaze doesn't know. The Ghost is taking a very close look at him as it is. She just perks up when the stranger indicates he can take care of himself. ]

Oh? You make it sound like you've had some practice. I guess you'd have to, if you like going solo.

[And he'll just stare at you like you're crazy.]

A good... planet.

Yes, I've had plenty of practice living on my own. And I'll be honest, that's how I like it. It will just be me, and some books I haven't had a chance to read before.

Maybe I'll even start my own novel.

[ Metatron glares at the Ghost, and he goes to swat it away with a hand. ]

Or my own series of fiction.

[ He doesn't seem to care about the flash of fangs. If one has seen one monster, one has seen them all. Purgatory and Hell come to mind for a creature of this nature, and those are two places he has no intention of visiting.

Especially Purgatory. Those damn lowest of the low that nobody but human hunters should care about. ]

Good. Just make sure it happens to be the planet you're not going to be on. I'd prefer solitude.

Excuse me. [ The Ghost zips backward to avoid the swat, swooping back to Blaze's side where it's safer. Blaze gives the stranger an annoyed look. Her AI companion's safe enough in his metal casing, but it's the thought that counts. ]

Yeah, I can tell you're not a people person. Have a little respect, stranger. He's just here to help, same as I am. [ She folds her arms. ] Look, if you do run into trouble you can always put out a distress beacon. Some Guardian or other will find you. Otherwise, good luck out there.

[perhaps it's where she'll end up eventually. She's gained a rather dark personality over the years. But for now she roams free.

She grins and nods.]

You have my word
