mitchsgirl, late for her birthday, to her prompt of Dean came back from hell with some of those fancy demon powers/attributes that he so despises.
Notes: title from Richard Siken

Dean escapes Hell during the first rebellion against Lilith. He’s still mostly human, remembering life before, clinging tight to memories of brotherSammy and trying to find him.
            Azazel’s daughter tracks him down and drags him back.
            Bitch.

His next escape is during the third rebellion. He doesn’t remember why he has to leave, just that he must.
            Once topside, he seeks out a body. He chooses a young male in the prime of life. From the man, he learns that the year is 2385 and war is about to rip apart the world.
            He stays through the fighting, finding fleeting pleasure in shredding bodies and minds. At the end, after Earth is a wasteland, he goes back to Hell.

Lilith has lost the throne and her existence in his absence. The new queen has stepped out of her father’s shadow and claimed power. She chooses a name and rules with an iron will.
            She enjoys playing with him, tormenting him, making him scream and writhe and whimper for mercy. She asks once if he remembers the first time they met. 
            She almost seems disappointed when he says no.

He claws his way out of Hell a third time and there are no humans left on Earth. It is a new species, but they have bodies that can be shredded and worn, and they have families that can be toyed with, so he doesn’t complain.
            The queen sends a legion for him and they force him back.
            In his fury, he demands of her, “Why me?”
            She laughs. Rips into him and laughs.

But he escapes again. The creatures are on the edge of annihilation, like humans before them, and he doesn’t take a body, just watches. Watches and waits and wonders about the life he had before Hell.
            They die and something new takes over and he watches in silence.

He goes back to Hell because it is familiar.
            A new ruler sits on the throne, a king with flaming green eyes. A bottom-feeder tells him that the king had been working behind the scenes for a very long time.
            “What’s this king go by?” he asks.
            The bottom-feeder says, “Winchester.”
