PAINED SCREAMS ECHOED around the building. The torture had been going on for a few hours, but for Zenja it felt like days. Michael used all the knives and torture devices he could get his hands on. He beat her up until she was almost dead and healed her, only to do the same thing over and over again. They had taken Jack to a room half an hour ago while they left the youngest Winchester in the hands of the oldest archangel.
She gasps in pain as Michael plunges a dull knife into her shoulder. It has been going on for so long, her body managed to numb most of the pain. An angel punches her on the face when she refuses to answer the question.
" You guys do know this isn't the first time I have been tortured right? I'm a hunter...this comes with my line of work.", she laughs through the pain.
Michael sighs angrily and grabs her chin forcefully. " Just answer the damn question!"
She smiles at him. " Go to hell."
Michael growls at her before taking the knife from her shoulder and plunged it into her thigh. She yelps in pain and tries to get out of her bindings but to no avail.
She watches as Michael converses with the other angels. She struggles one more time with her bonds but nothing, her wrists were getting sore from the amount of times she had tried to get out of them.
She sighs in defeat and looked over at the angels. " Hey! What're you guys talking about? I hate being left out ya know.", she states. One of the things the Winchesters were known for was their smart mouth. It always seemed to get them into trouble...like now.
The angels stop talking and looked over at her. She raises her brow. " What does a girl have to do to get some food here? Your hotel is shitty. Where the hell are the complimentary chocolates?", she jokes as an angel walks towards her.
She grins up at him. " Hey, you ready to take my order? I'll have a bacon cheese burger with a side of fries—"
The last thing she saw was the angel taking out his angel blade and hit her in the head with it before darkness consumed her.

ZENJA SIGHS AS she rubs her temples. Hours have passed and her headache had gotten worse the moment she walked into the room, it currently felt like it was about to explode.
" Are you okay?", Jack asks softly beside her.
She gives him a smile of reassurance. " I'm good...I just got a headache, I'll live."
Jack went to say something else but Mary interrupts him by saying, "When Michael comes back, you... you let him kill me."
Zen's head snapped up, ignoring the pain and looked up at her mother in shock. " W-What? No. No way!"
Mary sighs and crouches in front of them. "Do not open that door.", she says.
Zen and Jack stand up. "No. No, we're getting out of here. I'm not letting that archangel d**k take you, mom.", she states.
Mary stands as well and shakes her head. "We can't."
"Yes, we can.", Jack piped in. "I—I'm strong. I should be able to save us both, but every time I try to use my powers here, even things I know how to do, it's all wrong. It's just... my head, it... it doesn't stop pounding."
Mary furrows her brows. "Your head hurts?"
Jack nods. " Zen too."
"Mine, too. I—I've had migraines ever since they locked me in here. I... thought it was the torture. But maybe... maybe this place has warding so strong that humans can feel it.", Mary states.
"You think that's why my powers aren't working?", Jack asks.
Mary nods. "My headache... I have it everywhere except..." she walks back to the window. "Right here. This is the only place it ever lets up."
"Because the warding's weaker.", Zen mutters in realisation. She looks at Jack and says, "Worth a shot."
Jack nods at her and walks to the window. He presses his hand against the iron bars. His eyes glow as his powers start. Zenja could feel her headache vanishing the more he broke the bars.
She smiles up at him. "It's working."
