This just wasn't Castiel's day. He had been groggy coming out of his overnight trance, the Winchesters were bitchy with not only each other but him as well, then their case had taken an extremely wrong turn. Now as Cas looked throughout a room full of demons he had just had enough.
"Close your eyes!" He shouted to the Winchesters who for once did as he commanded and closed their eyes sinking to the floor and covering their heads. Castiel saw the realization of what was coming cross the demons faces but before any of them could smoke out he released his true form and smote them all. When he pulled himself back into his vessel he felt the immediate restrictions on his form.
"Cas?" Dean's voice asked from the floor where he still had his eyes closed.
"You can open your eyes now." Cas said and even he heard how tired he sounded. He wanted to sink to the floor and rest his head on his knees but he could't show that kind of weariness in front of the brothers. He knew they wouldn't judge him for it but it was a sign of weakness he did not want to display.
"Wow Cas, didn't even leave us one." Dean said looking around at the empty vessels.
"Sorry, I shall endeavour to leave you some entertainment next time we encounter a multitude of demons." Cas said dryly. The brothers exchanged a look that said they knew something was amiss with the angel.
"Come on, we need to find the girl." he said bypassing any 'chick flick' moments as Dean called them.
