I think that Josie would certainly know everything that Henry knew, since they were both up for initiation on that same night.
I really doubt that Josie had been possessed for long, because I think that there would have been too many rituals and tests that a demon-possessed person would fail. That's just my gut feeling based on the kinds of magic the Letters did. She failed as soon as she went into that room -- which is why she didn't get the key. And I'm pretty sure Henry didn't know what the little box even was, or that the Letters had a huge bunker full of more knowledge, because Henry had no idea what he was giving to Sam and Dean --- they got that info from the more fully initiated men they tracked down.
I'm continually fascinated by the amount of Angelic magic that Henry had under his belt. In the most recent ep we saw Abaddon skedaddle at the first hint of Angelic presence. Whereas Azazel may have been a fallen Angel himself (we don't know for SURE that he wasn't), Abaddon seems pretty threatened by Angels in a way that Azazel wasn't.
I am pretty suspicious of Angels and their motives in the SPN verse. I wouldn't be at all surprised to think that Michael and his crowd simply turned a blind eye on Henry's predicament /John's orphaning, whereas it's clear that they passed a lot of knowledge of Angelic magic to the Letters. The language of Legacy is pure Archangel Michael to my ears!!
I'm trying to write about every female character. Thanks very much for your thoughts on Josie. It'll give me plenty of ideas about what to write for her!

*nods* It's probably something that's assumed by most, but I brought it up because whenever you get a bunch of academics together they usually specialize such that they can compliment each other and provide more academic coverage. Plus academics are somewhat territorial unless it's a mentor/mentee relationship, and redundancy is a waste of good brain space. It's not really relevant to the current SPN story, but the idea of a bunch of nerdy brains dorking out over their particular supernatural specialty like faculty at faculty meetings totally cracks me up (I love the idea of it).

Excellent point because it makes no sense that she'd blow her own cover when she was poised to be initiated and essentially be privy to the MoL's secrets AND be granted easy access to the bunker.

That's part of the reason I was so excited by the MoL reveal. The fact Henry used the power of his soul to time jump seemed like it *should* somehow be wound into the importance of human souls in the mytharc. I'm still waiting for that....

For all of her bravado, she did scamper away fast. I found that odd, but attributed it to the fact that apparently all the other Knights had been killed by angels. Although it was done by Archangels, who are more powerful than some random angel, none of which were even there. I wonder if Abaddon knows what's happened to all the Archangels during her time jump.
I wouldn't be at all surprised to think that Michael and his crowd simply turned a blind eye on Henry's predicament /John's orphaning, whereas it's clear that they passed a lot of knowledge of Angelic magic to the Letters.
Agreed.
The language of Legacy is pure Archangel Michael to my ears!
No kidding. Fate, duty, and responsibility and all that jazz.

Awesome! I've read some of your Women in SPN fic in the past, it'll be nice to see more. And thank you for stopping by and leaving your thoughts!
