Lucifer isn't stable anymore. The Temple is protected against angels coming inside. But I -- I don't know if he's going to come after me.

[There's a long silence before her breath hitches. She's trying not to cry.]

I'm so sorry, I didn't --

[But she stops herself before she grits her teeth. Strength, dammit.]

I played a card too early. This is my fault. I'll fix it, but I need --

[Pause.]

... I'm going to need help.

[This -- takes some doing, and there is a pause, before Rei speaks. It is quiet and reserved.]

Castiel and I are going to ward your house against angels so they can't get inside. It won't take very long. And I need --

[Pause.]

I really -- need your help.

And you plan to just wait for him to do so? Or will you strike first, before he has a chance to make his attack?

...It would be suicide.

[In her state. In any state. Lucifer is furious. And, not only that, but so is Michael. Another attack, especially with Rei so weakened, would only spell out a death sentence for anyone she loved.

Better to defend, now, than attack. It would be stupid to do anything else.]

The angels are the only ones who can contain him until he calms down.

Die on defense or die on offense... Either way, it's still death.

Tch. If that's the case, do try not to get him angry again.

I promised someone very important to me that I would never die in this place again.

[Somewhat stiffly.]

I'm not going to break that promise over my own pride.

Sometimes, one must sacrifice such things for the greater good. And if you are so convinced you are outclassed either way...

[There is a long silence.]

I asked for help -- to protect all of us from the Devil -- and if the only answer you have for me is to sacrifice myself in order to prove something --

[No. She's not going to get into an argument. She sucks in a quick breath.]

Fine. I'll handle this myself.
