10x23 question/plotbunny?

Hand wave the issue with The Darkness running over the Impala. We all know for there to be a season, the boys have to get through that somehow.

The question I'm interested in answering is what happens when Sam realizes he knows where Death was going to send Dean. A place away from Earth? A place where Dean would be alive forever and unable to use the mark to hurt himself or others? A place where someone else who'd carried the mark is still steaming over Sam's escape?

Do you think that Death was going to bring Dean to hell = the cage to be exact with Lucifer? That would not have been pleasant either. What I was curious about was the splitting the mark - between two individuals in order to make it more manageable - what about Dean splitting it with Sam? The two of them would have been immortal and unstoppable. They would have been able to handle things and the darkness would not have been released. Could the way to deal with the darkness is God coming back and offering the boys to be the keys?

OMG, somebody, please write this NOW!

(You know, I was thinking other dimensions, other planets, Heaven, and all kinds of crazy stuff. The Cage never crossed my mind but, boy, does it have potential for a fantastic and terrifying story.)

Death did ask Dean once if he thought Earth was the only planet, implying that Death has a universe to take care of. Thinking about that makes one wonder about the other Horsemen and if they are supposed to care about the rest of the universe. Also why Death really cares about Dean and Sam and a whole host of other questions best not thought about.

Mostly, of course, what does it mean to kill Death? Nothing in the whole universe dies? I think that it's best not to think too much about that. (Oskar died when Rowena stabbed him and that was after Death died, right?)

Now I've got a bit of a headache so I'll just go back to thinking about how awesome the 'I have to kill you, Sam' scene was.

Now all I can think about is "If there's a lock, then there has to be a key..." lol
