"I never meant to cause you any sorrow. I never meant to cause you any pain. I only wanted to one time to see you laughing. I only wanted to see you laughing in the purple rain." Prince, "Purple Rain".


Rain hammered the window while Prince crooned from the juke box.
“How many apocalypses has it been now?” Buffy asked.
“Must be at least nine,” Angel confirmed, “and I helped –”
“Four times?”
“Five.”
Iron Man prodded his shawarma. “Me and my friends have saved the world a lot. Once I nearly died.”
“Hey, I died twice!” Buffy objected.
Dean indicated himself. “Hundreds of times. And I went to Hell.”
“How many times?” Angel asked innocently.
 “We saved the Galaxy!” Star-Lord boasted.  “And we’re gonna do it again!”
Dean frowned and quietly asked Sam, “explain the raccoon to me again.”

A/N: also inspired by Prince’s explanation of his song, as quoted on Wikipedia, and with a nod toward HISHE’s hero café on youtube.

    Very thought provoking! I haven't read Joseph Campbell so it is nice to see it laid out like that.

    I find it interesting that while both Dean and Sam compare Sam to John, John doesn't. In this scene…

    There's a lot to unpack in the last three episodes. Particularly, we'll see the themes from this scene revisited in the confrontation with the Demon in "Devil's Trap".

    Thanks so much for your…
