"One, Two …"

Cas was preparing for three when a sharp pain followed by a loud popping noise erupted from his shoulder.

"Thank you." He mumbled rubbing his freshly re-positioned shoulder.

"No problem, that witch really kicked the shit out of you, you do understand you're allowed to hit a women when she is a three thousand year old murder machine." Gabriel chuckled out, poking fun at his brother.

"It had nothing to do with the fact she was a women and more to do with the fact that she dislocated my shoulder." Cas never understood his brothers cynical humor.

"It doesn't matter anyways, job is done and she won't be killing anyone anymore." Anna had been quietly cleaning her gun since they got back, she had been the one to bust in right on time and save Cas' ass.

The brothers nodded in silent agreement before parting ways, Gabe was going to the bar for a drink and Cas was going to meet him there after he showered. While he let the hot water wash away all the blood and dirt from the hunt he imagined what his life would be like if he never became a hunter. He had faint memories of his life before his brother turned. They lived in an enormous white house with the entire family, with the exception of some cousins that lived on the west coast. They had a backyard with a swing seat and a golden retriever named Buddy, the perfect picture of normality. Then Lucifer turned, people started showing up with missing hearts and he started not coming home at night. When their father figured out what was going on he confronted Lucifer, which lead to him becoming his brother's next victim. Ever since then his family devoted their lives to finding him and bringing him to justice, killing every other supernatural being along the way. At the moment Michael, Zachariah and Uriel were tracking Lucifer while everyone else was divided into groups and sent out on different hunts. Cas loved his family he really did but he would give everything to just be normal again , to have gone to school and done homework, had a summer job, go to university. But those were just dreams he donned a pair of jeans and his cotton jacket before heading out to meet Gabe at the bar.

It was a typical Gabe place to choose, The Mystery Spot printed across the front in large neon colors music so loud it could make your ear drums burst and half naked women walking around with fruity drinks. Gabe was seated at the bar leaning back and enjoying the view with a bright blue drink in his hand.

" Isn't this place awesome?" He screamed with a huge grin on his face while Cas sat next to him and ordered a beer.

"Not really.."

"Don't be such a party pooper" Gabe slapped him on the back "We are surrounded by beautiful ladies and delicious drinks what more could you ask for."

Cas just scoffed, Gabe had always loved to party, he didn't really care what he was doing as long as he was having fun doing it but anyone who let his easy going attitude and joking nature trick them into thinking he wasn't one of the most dangerous people in the building had another thing coming.

"We just need to get you laid Cassy you're gorgeous, you could have your pick of any girl in here!"

Cas turned on his stool and scanned the room. Gabe was right the women were beautiful but he didn't want to sleep with any of them. He had never been sexually attracted to anyone really, when he was a teen he had come to the conclusion he was gay because he had no desire to sleep with a women but as time went on he discovered he had no desire to sleep with a man either. He just accepted that as fact and moved on although his brother never let him forget the fact that he was a virgin.

"Gabe I've told you I don't want sleep with anyone I am perfectly fine without having sex."

"That's what everyone says, until they have sex." Gabe laughed at his joke before leaning over and flirting with a group of girls standing next to him.

After his third beer Cas had had enough of the constant noise and just wanted some peace and quiet to be alone with his thoughts. He scanned the room quickly for Gabe before grabbing his coat and heading for the door. While he was walking out he felt eyes watching him but in the crowded bar it was impossible to tell whose eyes they were. He decided to take the long way back to the motel; he cut through a forest that ran along the border of the town. He was barley ten feet in when he heard footsteps echoing his own. He reached into his coat and gripped on to his knife before quickly turning around ready for a fight only to discover an empty trail. He waited a few moments before jogging back to the motel. Anna was asleep when Cas came in the door breathing heavily from the twenty minute run. He locked the door and lined it with salt just to be safe. He crawled into the bed and slept with one eye open because he still couldn't shake the feeling of being watched.

When the sun came up the trio packed their stuff and headed to Kansas to meet Zachariah and find out what their next hunt would be. Gabe drove while Anna sat in the backseat with her headphones in and Cas tried to sleep just like every other time they were ever in a car together. This was Cas' favorite group to hunt with, Anna was an excellent tracker and the hate she felt for being forced into hunting only improved her viciousness with a knife. Gabe on the other hand, genuinely enjoyed the job so he was a much more pleasant person to be around and he was also a merciless hunter that Cas had never seen lose a fight. He knew that when they reached their destination they would be rearranged and he would adjust to whatever member of his family he ended up with, he only hoped he wouldn't have to track Lucifer with Zachariah and Michael. They pulled into the diner around seven and order dinner.
