Empty Cage Chapter 1 Cure For the Curse

"I think I may have found something." Castiel said as the sound of ruffling wings filled the room.

"Really, what is it?" Sam asked looking over at his brother and praying that this was the answer that would put everything back the way it was supposed to be.

"The powerful source...It's Michael." Castiel said causing the room to go silent.

"You realize that there is one problem, here don't you? Michael is in the cage with Lucifer." Dean answered in an unbeliving tone.

"I do realize that Dean." Castiel said using the sarcasm he'd learned while he was human.

"Okay, so how long is it going to take you to free Michael from the cage?" Sam asked not being able to contain his excitement about having his brother free from this curse.

"I can't." Castiel said bluntly.

"Who then?" Dean asked knowing that if it was up to Sam he'd rather let the curse turn him and have some hunters to kill his demon ass.

"You, it has to be the person with the mark that rescues Michael." Castiel answered regretfully.

"This is so not what I meant, when I said that I wanted to go on vacation to the land down under." Dean joked trying to lighten the mood in the bunker.

"You can't send him back to Hell again, Cas." Sam said sounding frustrated that the angel would even consider this as an option.

"It'll be fine, Sammy." Dean said just wanting it to be over one way or another.

"Really? Cause this is Hell we're talking about, Dean." Sam stated angrily.

"I've been there before Sam, besides I have a promise to keep, to my little brother." Dean said with a smirk.

"You never promised me anything that you would have to go back to Hell for, Dean." Sam said tired of the nonchalaunt way that his brother was handling this.

"I'm not talking about you, Sammy. The kid shouldn't have been in there to begin with, and I promised him I'd come back for him." Dean said as he stepped up to Castiel ready to go.

"Adam..?"Sam had tried to often to forget about his little brother that he never really got a chance to know.

"Yeah unless we have another little brother out there, and let's face it with our dad, that's a real possibility." Dean joked again.

"Drop the crap Dean, going back there could kill you." Sam said putting his finger in Dean's chest.

"'m sorry, but the way I see it, it's a win-win. I get the Mark off and we get our brother back." Dean said as he took the Demon killing knife and nodded at Castiel, that it was time for them to go.

And in less then an instant Sam was alone in the bunker, wishing he had at least went with them for moral support.

I know I now have three stories going at the same time, but I have too many ideas. But I can stop reading and writing fanfiction anytime. lol
