A/N: Here it is, guys! This is the sequel to Plan B, so if you haven't read that one, I strongly recommend you go read it first before jumping into this one. For those of you who have, I hope I live up to your expectations! I've been plotting this sequel since I wrote chapter 2 of Plan B, so hopefully that all pays off. Now for some disclaimery stuff, warnings, and all that jazz. You can skip if you don't care.
Disclaimer: I don't own Supernatural, I don't own any of the characters in Supernatural. I wish I did, but if I did Supernatural would probably turn into "The Story of Three Dudes Who Sit In an Old Bunker and Drink Lot's of Hot Chocolate" yep, yeah, mm-hm.
Warnings: So far, none. It's pretty clean, if you spot something I should warn about, lemme know.
Summary: When Dean was four, an angel from Heaven was sent to protect him and Sammy. Now Dean's 22 and that same angel's been brought back to him, but it's Dean's turn to play protector as the angels and demons try to trigger Armageddon.
When he was little, maybe four or five, Dean remembers meeting an angel. The angel was little, like him, had dark hair and blue eyes and a kind voice. He remembers the angel keeping him safe, holding his hand and promising that he would protect him even when things were very scary. He remembers that he helped the angel too. He held the angels hand, and rubbed his back and promised to keep him safe too. The angel's name was Castiel.
When he was little, Dean remembers meeting an archangel too. He was the little angel's big brother and he watched over them when his daddy couldn't. He remembers the archangel giving him advice, and caring for Sammy, and keeping his father in line. The archangel's name was Gabriel, but he also went by Loki or the Trickster. Dean didn't understand until later why an archangel would need so many different names.
When he was little, Dean remembers Castiel being taken away and Gabriel leaving them and not understanding the true reasons why. He wouldn't fully understand until he saw Gabriel again, when he was ten and Sammy was six and they'd run away from home to look for Castiel and they were surrounded by men with black eyes, scary smiles and knives. Gabriel found them then, saved them, brought them home and explained why he couldn't find Castiel and why Gabriel had left. He didn't tell Bobby or Daddy where they had gone and he erased their adventure from Sammy's memories.
Daddy kept them out of the hunts and made them go to school. He also wouldn't tell Sammy about all the monsters that Dean knew existed. The ones he knew his father went out to kill when he told Sammy he was going on a business trip. They usually stayed with Uncle Bobby when Daddy went on one of his trips. Sam would always whine and complain until he got home, but Dean didn't mind. He wanted Daddy to come home too.
When he graduated high school, Dean saw Gabriel in the crowd. He smiled and threw him a thumbs up and then vanished. Dean saw Gabriel many times after that, out of the corner of his eye, now that he knew to look. It made him feel better; he and Sammy had a guardian angel while Castiel was away.
He missed Castiel. Dean couldn't remember a time when he didn't miss Castiel. He missed Castiel like he missed his mother, like he missed when Dad used to smile at him. He prayed to him every night and told him that. Told him that he hoped to he'd come home soon and to say hi to his mother for him. There wasn't anyone to judge him, his dad wouldn't complain at him for something he never saw, so Dean prayed often.
Sammy was eighteen and Dean was twenty-two when they were approached by a tall, blonde man wearing a v-neck and skin tight jeans on their way home from Dean's mechanic job. One minute he wasn't there and the next he was, Dean automatically thought 'angel' and tensed, ready. The man only smirked and handed Dean a note before vanishing into thin air. Sam didn't stop freaking out about it until two months later. Dean didn't care, the note was from Gabriel and only had five words on it.
"I'm going to get Cas."
