Alliance, Nebraska
Dean and Sam pulled up in front of their motel room just after 11 pm. They didn't know whether to call this one a win or lose. Dean sighed heavily as he unlocked the door and walked in. Not surprised to see Cas stood beside the Tv, Dean just walked past putting his worn out duffle bag on the bed. His guns needed cleaning anyway. Sam came in and closed the door behind him as he took in the angel who hadn't moved since Dean had walked in. Dean had moved onto his bed, get comfy before taking a nap. He was exhausted and really just wanted a good nights sleep. He could feel the tension in the air as if there was a question to be asked or answered or whatever. So instead of putting his head to the people which felt delightful under his touch, he lent against the head board looking from Sam to the Angel one eyebrow raised. Cas was waiting, but what for? Dean hadn't realised anything was odd until Sam got the question out. Then he understood the tension.
"Urhh, Cas" Sam said in an almost shy manor, as if he'd never talked to the angel before. Cas moved for the first time looking at Sam, not saying a word. Sam cleared his throat and trying again.
"Well, um if an Demon can create a half human half demon child… urh couldn't an angel do the same… Hypothetically?" There was a long pause, curiosity was itching over Deans skin. This could change a lot. Half demons were more powerful than most full demons, they even rivalled the hot shots. So if a Half angel was to be created they could probably take on the likes of Raphael if it came down to it. A smirk came across Deans face at the thought of Raphael being beaten down by a half angel half human. The dude despises humans.
Castiel finally moved forward, looking from Sam over to Dean.
"It's not hypothetical at all, we had a Hybrid born before demons even dreamed it possible." His rough voice making the question sound stupid.
It ticked Dean off slightly that demons and angels were both making new supernatural creatures, they were just waiting to either be hunted or be torn apart. The worst part is they could have been born human, he let his anger subside before he said anything it wasn't technically Cas' fault no point taking it out on him.
Dean, gave a frustrated sigh, gaining looks from both Sam and Cas, he tried to explain.
"I don't like it, you shouldn't be able to go round knocking up people just so you have a stronger army. Demons are sick enough I don't need angels doing it as well." He rubbed his hand over the nape of his neck.
"Dean I don't think you understand, we can only make a hybrid with a lot of power. It is difficult to collect the power needed for one hybrid let a lone an army. You have nothing to fear." Castiel gave Dean the gaze which made him feel like Cas was staring into his soul and refrained from shivering.
Dean noticed Sam relax and the tension in the room dissipated, he took it as good news they could only make one. Sam walked of to the bathroom and he heard the shower be turned on then moved to the edge of the bed before standing up. He huffed slightly standing up arms folded in front of Cas before going on…
"So you have one Hybrid? Do we get to meet it?" before Dean had even finished his sentence there was a flutter of wings and in the once empty space next to Cas now stood a young women. Dean guessed she was probably about Sammy's age maybe a bit older. The best way to describe her apart from that was, stunning. She was down right beautiful. Dean felt his jaw fall slack.
"I'm a her Dean, and don't you know it's rude to stare." She smirked slightly, Dean looked her up and down trying to take in her presence. She looked human, she worse tight fitted black jeans, blue vest top, black leather jacket. She also wore navy blue Doc Martins. Dean couldn't help thinking that the girl defiantly worked her style to her advantage. This is when he noticed her index finger wrapped around Castiels pinky, he raised an eyebrow and she noticed him looking. She smiled then leaned up and kissed Castiel on the cheek, her eyes not leaving Dean. He shuffled on his feet slightly.
"Thanks Cas" he nodded in response before she let go. Dean would have to get the details out of Cas later is all he could think before she right in front of him, one hand on his chest. He tensed up to startled to move.
"Dean chill out, I'm not going to hurt you." Dean didn't even know her name yet but he believed her, and relaxed subconsciously under her hand.
"My names Sora, by the way." She looked into his eyes then round to Cas
"Cas has never really got the hang of human interaction have you?" Cas didn't reply but there was a slight flush in his cheeks, he looked even more awkward than usual.
"Cas sit down please, your awkwardness is excruitiating." Sora joked slight but Dean doubted Cas wuld get it, he followed her instructions anyway and pulled up a chair next to the table still facing them.
Dean felt the heat from her hand rise, he looked down to see Sora biting her lip like she really wanted to say something but didn't know how to put it. Dean couldn't wait, he was burning up.
"Erh Sora, can I just ask… Why is your hand on my chest?" Sora didn't reply, instead Cas did.
"She can see peoples souls, if someone has a particularly beautiful soul she is drawn to them. She also has a thing about contact, it makes her feel more grounded."
The new information puzzled Dean slightly, his soul had been to hell and back how exactly was it supposed to be beautiful? He cleared his throat, Sora removed her hand and took a step back before folding her arms.
Sam came out of the bathroom in only a towel, Sora cleared her throat smirking once again and Dean had to chuckle when Sam blushed ferociously walking back into the bathroom grabbing his shit as he went.
"Your brothers soul is not quite as how to put it… appealing as yours." Sora informed like that was something strange. Well of course it was strange she talking about how our souls look Dean thought.
"I can see why you like them so much, they're way of thinking is pure. I like them." She didn't even know them yet she liked them, Dean thought that she was weird but he could probably get along with her well. She'd end up saving his ass most likely.
Silence once again took over the room until Sammy reappeared fully dressed, clearing his throat slightly. Sora just waved cheerfully.
"Hey Sammy" She smiled slightly "I'm Sora, the Hybrid" she walked over and shook his hand. There was an undertone of something Dean couldn't pin point but he didn't think it would matter. He went back to his guns and started lining them up one by one before taking his shotgun apart and cleaning out each barrel methodically. Sam powered up his laptop, the angels didn't seem to have much to do so Sora joined Cas and pulled out of deck of cards from no where. Trying to explain how to play go fish. It was a weird situation.
After some time there was a sharp intake of breath, Dean looked up to see Cas putting his finger to his temple, as if he had a headache. Dean raised an eyebrow knowing full well angels didn't get headaches because well… they were angels. Cas looked at Sora and nodded slightly before disappearing leaving behind the sound of fluttering wings.
"You not going with him?" Sam asked genuinely curious.
"No" she sounded slightly irritated "I don't count as a proper angel so I don't get invited to official angel business" she huffed "It sucks ass, so it looks like I'm on baby sitting duty for a while."
"Baby what?" Dean looked at her eyes furrowed, Sam was looking over his laptop at her.
"Well, I'm sort of a double agent at the minute, but details aren't of import, all you need to know is that one" she puts up her index finger "I'm strong enough to handle Raphael and two" she then raises her middle finger "My true loyalties lie with Cas." Her face is so serious Dean would of never doubted her but he had an itching question
"You want to know why, right?" Dean wasn't surprised she knew what he wanted to ask, she could see his soul and he didn't know what other mojo a hybrid had. So he just nodded. She sighed slightly leaning forward in her chair looking at the floor.
"When I was born my family was fine, angels watched over us literally. When I turned fifteen though the angel on watch got ambushed by about five demons, and they weren't small fries." Pain seared through her eyes before she could compose herself. "So the angel was ambushed and my entire family was killed, I took out all five with out knowing what the hell I was doing. I didn't know what I was until afterwards. I ran from my home, and hid in a church. That's where Cas found me, he explained everything then took me to heaven where I met my real dad. If you can call him that. Then Cas taught me everything, he is the only angel I've ever met who's treated me with respect without me having to show my actual power." As she finished she looked up and smiled slightly, she owed Cas a lot and Dean totally got that, he too was in Cas' debt. More than he would like to think about.
Sam looked at Dean meaningfully before going back to his laptop. Looking for their next job. Dean watched Sora for a while wondering if there was anything he could do. Cas was like family to him and Sora was pretty much Cas' family. Dean would look after her, even if she could flip a truck or whatever her 'actual power' was.
