Season 6 episode 3

Summary: Castiel starts to have vivid nightmares of his time in Hell with Jimmy, who may or may not be still down there. Feeling bad for Jimmy, Castiel does something stupid that might kill him and it's not by stealing Dean's car.

Castiel slowly opened his eyes. Oh my head. He thought. Why his head hurts so much? Wait where the hell is he? He doesn't remember this motel Castiel didn't remember a thing, and his head was throbbing. He hoped that Dean didn't achieve his goal to get him drunk and hooked him up with some random girl at the bar. Castiel groaned and rolled over. Someone was in his bed; he jumped shocked, it was true. He fell on the floor with a thud.

Oh crap he did, now I'm stuck with her, what do I do? Oh hell. Castiel was panicking he's never had to deal with women what was he supposed to say, 'Oh sorry my brother thought it would be funny if he get me drunk, then hooked us up, so... how are you?' Yeah, funny Dean. Castiel got up he realized it was cold, and that he was naked. Castiel sighed he was going to Hell... again. He wrapped the sheet around him. Then he looked at the bare back of the person in the bed. Something about this woman seems off. Castiel took a closer look, very short messy dark hair, more of a man's style. Castiel eyes grew wide; the shoulders were too wide to be a woman's. He slowly walks around trying to see who was in the bed with him, naked. When he got to the front of the bed he literally fell on his butt in shock. It was a man in his bed. But that didn't make him fall, the fact he knows the man in the bed made him fall.

"Oh my God, oh my God, oh my God" Castiel rambled, trembling, running a shaky hand through his hair. This was impossible, how did this happen. A loud bang at the door made him jump. "Cass open up!" Castiel gasped. "Sam?"...

2 days earlier; Castiel frowns in his sleep, he turns to his side clutching his pillow. Face scrunched up as he whimpers in his sleep. "Please stop..."

"Oh God! Please!" Jimmy's screams in agony. He was tied down naked to a gurney. There was a tall dark figure standing over him. Castiel couldn't make out who their torturer was. The room he and Jimmy were brought in was small. It was barley lit the walls covered in blood and grim, it smelled of rotting corps, sweat, and blood Castiel was trying his hardest not to vomit from the horrid smell. On the wall behind Jimmy were knives many shapes and sizes.

The dark figure walked to his tray of special instruments, and pulled out a crescent shaped knife. "P-please stop" Jimmy whimpered. "You know the rules Jimbo." The dark figure man spoke. His voice was baritone, gravely, and cold, you can hear his sadistic smile as he spoke. Jimmy shook his head. "N-No"

Castiel couldn't see the dark man's face but he knew he was smiling, smirking at Jimmy pain. Before Jimmy could beg him to stop the dark figure stuck the crescent knife in Jimmy's abdomen. Jimmy let out a bloody scream. The dark man curved it upwards making the beginning of the knife appear about 4 inches from the insert wound. Castiel tries to get to Jimmy but the chains pulls him back to the wall. Like Jimmy he was also naked and chained. He had bruises on every inch of his body, making him look like the living dead.

Jimmy's screams reverberated through the small room, Castiel couldn't take it anymore. He couldn't take hearing Jimmy scream because he couldn't save him. He was useless. Castiel hung his head he didn't realized that he too was screaming. Wanting this to end, but that's just wishful thinking.

The screams die down and only the sound of Jimmy's and Castiel's panting filled the room. "Castiel..." The dark figure spoke; once again Castiel could hear that sadistic smile of his torturer. "Why must you fight us?" Sounds of heavy boots made its way to Castiel. Still Castiel couldn't see his face but he knew what he was wearing. A bulky shirt with the sleeves rolled up, and a rubber apron type thing. Jimmy's was whimpering in the background trying to catch his breath. The crescent knife, still in his stomach. "I-I will not give you Sam Winchester" Castiel said, his voice slightly shaky.

The figure sighs and walks closer, invading Castiel's personal bubble. Castiel tried not to shiver when the man was in his ear. He smelled of blood, dirt, and the dead. The bile in the back of his throat rose a little. "I thought we were making progress." The man whispers huskily in his hear. Castiel squeezed his eyes shut in a shiver. "I will not say yes!" Castiel said forcefully. Castiel knew the man's smug smile dropped from his face. "Very well then..." The figure pulled something out something sharp. "I guess we have to try harder" He raised his hands and...

Castiel bolted up screaming, 'no' and 'stop'. Dean and Sam were at his bedside in a nanosecond. "Cass!" Dean tried, dodging flailing limbs. "No! I won't do it!" Castiel yelled. Dean was about to grab an arm but got hit in the eye with it instead. "Ow, son of a- dammit!" Sam was the one who got him. He wrapped his large frame around the smaller man in a bear hug "Cass, its ok you're safe, you're here with Sam and Dean" "No! Let go!" Castiel said trying to hit Sam with his head. Sam barley missed the head-butt.

"Cass you're not back there no more, open your eyes" Castiel didn't at first but did. He saw that he was in a very pink room, with green lining. There was a mini fridge, and small TV. Motel... they were in motel. "Do you know where you are?" Dean asked forgetting his eye for the moment. Castiel sighed, he did it again, why couldn't he control them better, these nightmares. "Yeah were in Santa Fe Arizona, Sam let go" Castiel said. He sounded like his old angel self no emotion to his voice. Sam let go and Castiel went back into the covers. "Cass-" "No" Castiel cut Sam off harshly. "I just want to sleep" Sam was going to protest but Dean stopped him. "Yeah let's get some sleep, we gotta head back to Bobby's" Dean said. Sam glared at Dean and Dean returned it with the 'I'm your big brother, whatever I say goes' look. Sam sighed and went back to his bed and turned the light out. Dean frowned and tiredly went back to his couch.

The drive out of Arizona was silent. No one spoke, each man in their own thoughts. Sam was looking out the passenger window, Castiel the same in the back behind Dean. Dean took glances at both his brothers; he knew they were going to explode. Sam with him about not being 'caring', and Cass with Sam about minding his own business. And when Cass and Sam argue they won't talk to each other for a whole one day. Dean laughed inwardly. Buncha girls. Dean didn't know why they fight. They get along making smart ass comments about him in the corner. Dean knew they did he wasn't paranoid. Dean only caught them fighting once. He 'over heard' what it was about one day in some town in some nasty motel.

Dean was walking back to their motel room with bags of food. When he got to the door he heard Sam and Cass shouting so Dean listened. "Cass I just want to know why?" "Sam" Came Castiel's tired reply. "I said no, I don't want to talk about it, and you can't make me" Castiel growled. Dean heard Sam let out an angry breath. "Cass this is not healthy, you're human now-" "Yeah thanks for that reminder" Castiel said coldly. Sam smacked his teeth. "You're just like Dean, something horrific happens and you think 'oh it just minor I'm ok'! But no you're not Cass, please just talk to someone about it, me, Dean, Bobby, somebody!" There was silence.

"Cass please this could help you" More silence. "You don't want to help me, you want to help yourself, you want to know why I didn't give you up to Lucifer. You don't care about my health you're just concern with you and only you. You can't stand-" There was sound of a fist hitting flesh then stumbling. Dean was going to jump in but stop.

"What is wrong with you, you know that's not true, and I know you didn't mean it" Sam said angrily Castiel grunted. "If you knew I didn't mean it why hit me?" "Because you were acting like a jackass." There was a pause. "Stop trying to push us away Cass 'cause it aint gonna to work, you deserve a family too you need to tell yourself that, somewhere in that thick angel head of yours." Sam said voice gentle. There was silence for a good minute, it must be over. Dean didn't know if he should walk in now or walk around the motel twice then come in. Dean did the first one.

"Hey tonight we're having burritos." Sam was on his laptop Castiel was sitting on the bed with an ice pack on his eye. Dean faked surprised. "What happened here?" Sam sighed and looked up at Dean. "I-" "Uh, I ran into his elbow trying to reach the remote he held over his head" Castiel looked to Sam. "Uh yeah..., we were messing around arguing about what to watch" Dean looked to the TV, Desperate housewives was on. Castiel followed his gaze. "I wanted to watch Amazing Race" Sam looked to Castiel glaring. Dean couldn't help but smile when Cass gave Sam the 'ha-ha' look. "Whoa Sammy, really?" Dean joined in teasing. Sam sighed. "Y-yeah I like the show" He muttered turning back to his laptop.

Dean smiled at that memory Castiel was one sneaky bastard. Dean looked in the rearview and realized Castiel was clutching his head. "Cass?" Sam turned around to see what was wrong. Castiel grunted eyes shut in pain. "It's nothing, just a small headache" Castiel said once it passed. "Small?" Dean said. "Compare to the others yeah" Castiel said. Dean nodded. And they sat in silence. This was going to be a long drive.

Castiel was standing half naked in the mirror just staring. He was wrapped in a towel his hair wet just coming out the shower. Castiel stares at what was now his body, and probably would be for the rest of his mortal life. He was pale the dark circles under his eyes had returned, and he looks more tired than when they found him. Castiel sighed. He was having trouble sleeping, since the Zachariah incident. Thoughts kept him up; Crowley's voice rang in his head most nights. He was having a hard time forgetting what the demon said, and to make it worse Zachariah had also brought back some bad memories.

Castiel just stares holding the amulet he gave Sarah May, that she gave back for her thanks. He never told Sam or Dean he had it yet. Castiel's eyes trailed down to his star shaped scar where Lucifer stabbed him, it was strange why did he have this scar? Gabriel brought him back; he took away the scar from the sigil but not this? He examines it more. It looks older than a few months. There was a knock at the door that brought him out of his musing. "Hey Cass alright in there?" Came Dean's voice. "Yeah I'll be out in a bit." Castiel replied. "K" Dean said. Castiel sighed. Something wasn't right and he needs to find out what. "If Gabriel will show when I call" Castiel said to himself huffing.

When he got out ready for bed, He saw Sam and Dean in their usual spots. Sam at the table on his laptop, and Dean at the foot of the bed closest to the TV channel surfing. Castiel walked to the pull-a-long cot they rented for the night, since the motel had two beds and no couch bed. Dean sighed and turned off the TV. "Well that was a waste" Dean flopped back on the bed. "Sammy, it's..." Dean looked to his watch. "2 in the morning, shouldn't you like, I don't know give it a rest?" Dean said. Sam rolled his eyes. "I've stayed up longer" "Yeah but we need to get up early, and I don't want to haul your ass out the bed." Dean smirked. "Fine" Castiel watched his brothers bicker. Castiel smiled, it was still new to him to call them his brothers. "Hey Cass that goes for you" Dean said making Castiel snap out of his thoughts. "What?" "B-e-d" Dean said giving Castiel a look. "Oh... well goodnight" Castiel said going under the covers without protesting unlike someone he knew. Dean shook his head Castiel was wired little man.

"Well Castiel I need an answer" The dark figure said. Castiel was limp, the only thing holding him up were the chains. His arms no longer ached; they were just numb like his legs. Castiel said nothing. "What you're not talking to me now?" The man said, his voice smirking. "Well I got something for that..." Castiel heard the man walk away, then out the room.

He began to panic; he's going to bring someone in. The dark man love to bring Dean in and his brothers and sisters he killed during the apocalypse. He tries in vain to get down from the chains. 'Where will I go?' Castiel thought to himself. Castiel heard the door open then the squeaky wheels of the gurney. "Well I brought you a little gift, something new" The man laughed. New? "Please- let me go, why am I here?" Came a new voice, a male. It sounded so familiar. "Now Jimmy you have to ask Castiel" Castiel's heart stopped. Jimmy, no he's not real like Dean and the others he brought. "C-Castiel?" Castiel looked up Jimmy was tied to the gurney naked. Jimmy looked back with frantic eyes. Something was wrong with this illusion it looked real.

"Oh yes Cass it's him, been down here for a while" The man laughed. "H-How?" Both Jimmy and Castiel asked. "Well we tied him to you silly" The man said with his gravelly voice then laughed. "Where am I? What's going on? Why am I here" Jimmy asked frantically. "Where? Hell, What going on? Torture, Why? 'Cause he won't talk." Castiel looked to Jimmy, his eyes saying sorry. "Please, I beg you, let him go" Castiel said. The man laughed. "Oh begging already? Why should I he'll miss all the fun" Castiel glared. "Let him go!" "Sorry no can do, Now before we start on with this lesson, I'll let you two mingle" Jimmy started to squirm when the man walked away out the door.

"Ah!" Jimmy yelled trying to get loose. "Jimmy?" Jimmy didn't answer but try to get loose. "That won't work" Castiel said quietly. Jimmy began to struggle just hurt his arms now. "Jimmy-" "What?" Jimmy shouted back. Castiel flinched. "I'm sorry, but I can't say yes, when he gets back he's going to ask me to betray Sam and Dean. If I say yes they will win the apocalypse." Castiel said wheezing. It was hard for him to breathe at the moment. Jimmy was silent. "Jimmy-" "I know, I know" Jimmy said defeated. "I just wanted you to know, I-" Castiel cut himself off not knowing what to say. And they say in silence.

"How long?" "What?" "How long will they do this to us?" Castiel said nothing. "Answer me damn it, I'm your vessel the least you can do is answer my question!" Castiel flinched again. "As long as they want if I don't comply, or when they are bored we could stay here forever" Castiel answered quietly. They didn't speak for a moment. "Jimmy, when the time comes I will get you out of here" Castiel said his voice determined. "How?" Jimmy said coldly huffing. "I'll promise… if you promise not to hate me for it" "Castiel-" "Please..." Castiel's voice cracked. "I need to know, that-that you won't hate me for it" Jimmy frowned, Castiel was different he had emotion he sounded desperate; he wasn't the hard ass angel who bluntly told his daughter he was gone. "Yeah I promise, now what is it, you won't say yes right?" "No, when the time comes you'll know"...

Castiel woke up from the dream, it was still dark out. He looked to the digital radio clock on the table, 5:13 A.M. Sam and Dean where snoring loudly, sounds asleep. Castiel began to think. That dream, he remembers the promise he made with Jimmy, maybe he could do it now. But how will he pull this off without going to Hell now that demons want him? Castiel thought hard, he had to save Jimmy; he deserves to be with his family. Opal. Castiel thought, she could help me. Castiel got out of bed quietly. Hope she's still there. He got his duffle bag and quietly packed. He found his wallet, it only had fifty bucks. He snuck to Sam's jeans and pulled Sam's wallet out, he had two fifties and a couple hundred dollar bills hidden. He took one of those hundreds, then he did the same with Dean but he hid his hundreds in an inside pocket of his jacket. Castiel wasn't happy about stealing but he had no choice. He took out the motel's notepad, there to comment on the service, and wrote a note and stuck it on Sam's laptop. He then quietly took Dean's car keys. "I'm going to Hell, again" He said to himself groaning Dean will pitch a fit. Castiel took one more look at his brothers then left...

Dean woke up to a rumbling sound. That almost sounds like my baby. Dean thought going back to sleep. A moment passed and his eyes snapped open. "Sam! someone's stealing my car!" Sam bolted up. "What?" "My car Sam!" Dean said trying to get dress, pulling his pants on in record time. He didn't get dressed this fast since he was almost caught sleeping with some guys wife, (He didn't know till the loud bang on the door). Sam heard the car revved, and he was getting dress. Dean pulled out his gun. "Sam-" He stopped when he saw the empty cot. "Sam, where's Cass?" Sam looked to Dean, and then they both looked to the door and ran for it. "Shit!" Dean cursed as he realized Castiel is stealing his baby, His baby. They made it down the stairs just to see the cars taillights. "Shit!" Sam was panting running his hands through his hair. He was doing a good impression of a fish and was shocked. "God dammit!" Dean turned back to the stairs and ran up them, Sam followed after.

Dean was looking around the room for some kind of note, or something. Sam walked in he was still shocked. "Sam help me will ya" Dean snapped. "With what?" "See if he left 'a note or something" He's dead when I get 'im. He thought. Dean began messing up the cot Castiel slept on. Sam looked to the table and saw a sticky not on his laptop. "Uh Dean, I found it" Sam said holding it up. Dean stopped messing up the room and took three steps at a time to Sam, and snatched it out. "To Sam and Dean, I'm sorry..." I'm sorry for leaving like this but there's something important I have to do and I don't to involve you two, it's something I have to do on my own. I took some money from each of you, and gave you some amo just in case, you already know by now or before you got the note, I barrowed the car, when I finish my mission, I'll call you to pick it up, I promise to take care of her in the meantime. Don't bother to call I left the phone there. I'm sorry but I have to do this, it's been nice and I would like to thank you for the hospitality good-bye. P.S Bobby's on his way.

Dean crumbled the note and threw it. "Not only he stole my baby he stole money too, what the hell is going on?" Sam checked his wallet. "He took my hundred left me the two fifties" "He couldn't get much from me I keep my money in-" Dean was checking his jacket pocket. "Son of a bitch!" "Wow" Sam said. This was unreal, Castiel goody two shoes a thief? Sam thought about the note. "Dean he didn't say he'll come back-" "I know Sam-" Dean phoned buzzed in his jeans. "It's Bobby" he said before he answered it. "Hey Bobby" "What the hell is going on! I get a call at five in the morning, By a frantic angel telling me I need to hurry and save you two,!, I better get a damn good explanation!" Dean held the phone away from his ear. "You won't believe it if I tell you" "What? Where's Cass?" "Oh he's just took my baby for a joy ride, stole money, left us in this motel could be in Mexico by now" Dean said casually. "He did what! how the hell did he pull a fast one on you?" Dean glared. "Bobby just hurry up and get here" "Don't you use that tone-" Dean cut him off. He slipped the phone in his pocket. "Bobby sounds happy" Sam said. "Yeah he's friggin ecstatic!"
