[Counter to her last post, Mary is calm, composed, put-together, an iron look of determination in her eyes.]

If you've called someone and gotten their voicemail in the past three days, you need to comment here and tell me who it was.

I don't care if you think they got sent home, if they have an alibi, if they're supposed to be on a week-long vision quest, I don't care. If there's someone, anyone who you can't get ahold of and isn't absolutely definitely accounted for-

[Mary stops, folds, unfolds her hands. When her sleeve pulls back slightly, you can see a pair of handcuffs around one wrist.]

There might be another Hunt going on. We have to figure out now how many people are missing. Rationalizing where they might be, telling yourself it's not a big deal- forget that. We don't have time to second-guess.

I'm starting the list with Yosuke, Bigby Wolf, and Jesse Turner.

[Her hands are shaking a little. She grits her teeth slightly.]

Michael, everyone from last time- if you know where the grounds are, please. We need to stop this.

Your good advice doesn't stick does it? And look at you, shirking morality. I'd take credit for that except you're using my brother as your dog.

If you're thinking of racing in there, leave him out of it.

No.

[The fuck she is trying to give is not available at this number.]

I'm asking your brother to be part of a plan. He has the right to say no.

I don't just need him. I need everyone.

You of all people should know about rebelling. About hard choices.

This is nothing like that. [Half-laughing] This is you being scared and waving it around like a flag for them to see. You've already given them a list of people who are going to be involved.

Maybe. Whatever. Those grounds will be destroyed and this won't be in secret anymore.

This is me getting angry and keeping it from happening again any time soon.

Just because you don't personally care about it doesn't make me wrong, Lucifer.

Michael's an adult. He knows the dangers. If he gets hurt- I don't want him to get hurt, but it won't be because I made him do anything.

Uh-huh. Your little crusade is compromising the safety of the people you're dragging into it, because you didn't think ahead. So if he gets hurt trying to help you, it is your fault. You know he won't let you go in there alone.

Oh, but...wait, are you going in at all?

If I could be anything but dead weight- I don't know my new powers enough yet. I'd be useless.

[She's clearly ticked at the concept.]

Look, I don't think anyone here thinks they're doing something safe. I haven't lied to anyone, and I certainly don't have to explain myself to you.

If you really care about the safety of anyone except Michael, you could help. Why not help?

Because you're being stupid about it. You're using him because he likes you, while you sit back and tell yourself you're working out a master plan. You've already failed that, so why would I trust you with my life, let alone his?

[If she knew a little bit more about him, she'd say because you knwo what it is to be caged and helpless, but Mary doesn't think of that. How could she?]

I'm asking him for help because I know he has the power and he definitely has the rage.

If you cared at all, you'd find a way to help, even if it's not this. You're smart enough, you're creative enough.

I care more than you do. More than anyone does. Which is why I'm trying to keep him safe.

Hey, are Sam and Dean and John hopping on board?

If they have the power to keep up with the others, then they're welcome to.

[Which is a no.]

When I said "care", I didn't just mean about Michael. If you cared about this- about us, about the rest of us. You have a stake in this- what if we let this Hunt slide and next time, they got Cas? Or Gabriel or Anna or Michael.

I hate Gabriel, and I spent two hours beating Castiel half to death. It felt good.

[And she knows damn well what he'd do if Michael was caught...but marching into the den just multiplies the risk by 1,000.]

I'm not saying let them go free to do what they want. I'm saying stop being a panicked little ape and take the time to think. But...it is too late for that, isn't it?

Don't call me "ape."

If you spent two hours beating Cas to tar, do you really have the right to lecture me about overreacting?

I don't have time for this. I'll line up to get yelled at for being reckless later. Every minute matters.

He attacked me. So yes, I do.

Don't get him hurt. I don't care what happens to the others.

[Softly] I know you don't.

I can't promise you anything. He's probably the most powerful person going in there, so he has the best chance.

I know why you're scared, but- I have to go. The day's ticking away.

[There's nothing he can do. He knows that. So for now he just hangs up, and waits to see.]
