Wild Wild West
It was a perfect, lazy day for Team Free Will and they were taking a break from hunting. Bobby was sitting on a couch reading a newspaper while Dean, Sam and Cas were playing cards. The ex-angel was new at it and played awfully. Dean could easily guess his combinations from his facial expressions and the hunter would smirk to himself.
Cas had lost seventh round of poker when Gabriel and Balthazar exploded into the room. The powerful air wave knocked the chairs over and scattered papers around the room.
"What the hell?" Dean yelled and jumped from his seat.
Castiel put the cards down and stared at his brothers. Gabriel and Balthazar together, hmm something serious had to be going on.
"What's happening?" Castiel asked calmly.
Bobby walked towards the new comers and shot an angry look at them. "You two idjits, I don't think you came here because you missed us. Spill the beans," he grumbled.
"Baal stole one of the artifacts, which prevents Lucifer from rising. We need to find him," Gabriel announced.
"We do not have much time," Balthazar added sternly.
"Great. No rest for the wicked." Dean rolled his eyes.
Balthazar went to Bobby's table and moved books and papers aside.
"I will do it myself!" Bobby barked at the angel and put the extra things away.
Meanwhile Balthazar drew a pentagram on the table and put a bowl with herbs in the center. Gabriel stood beside him looking at the bowl. Balthazar mumbled a short incantation and fire flames rose up from the bowl.
"Hmmm, interesting," Balthazar hummed and tapped his chin with fingers.
"What is it?" Sam finally broke the silence, shifting his gaze from one angel to another.
"He's hiding in Wyoming, Sunrise in 1860." Gabriel leaned against the table edge.
"So? Go and get him. You are a friggin archangel, plus you have an aid," Dean pointed at Balthazar.
"That's not that easy, Dean-o," Gabriel began. "He knew that we would suspect him and is well prepared. He wears a special amulet and no angel or demon can find him unless he wants to."
"And what does that mean? How can we help?" Dean folded his arms on his chest.
"We need humans to go there and find out his exact location. That's it. The rest is not your concern." Gabriel pulled a lollipop out of his pocket.
"We have a plan already," Balthazar smirked lopsidedly, which Sam noticed immediately.
"Care to elaborate? What plan?" the younger Winchester huffed impatiently.
"Well, there is this tavern in Sunrise called 'Come in or fuck off' so, if you want to hear any news, gossips etc etc that is the perfect place to go. And we decided that Dean and Castiel will go there." Gabriel grinned mischievously and licked the candy.
"What about us? We gonna sit on a couch and scratch our asses?" Bobby did not like that he was left out.
"If that's what you want to do," Gabriel answered nonchalantly.
"Fine. Let's hit the road then." Dean threw his arms in the air.
"Not so soon. Here is the best part." Balthazar laughed and winked at Gabriel.
Gabriel snapped his fingers and two big bags appeared in front of his chair. "The red bag is yours and the brown one is for Cassy. Put the clothes on."
Castiel bent down and took his bag. He opened it and took something purple out. "What is this?" his eyes widened as he unfolded the thing in his hand. It was a purple dress.
"Oh, you will be disguised as a woman, Cassy." Balthazar was trying his best not to laugh.
Dean almost choked on his beer and was thrown into a violent coughing fit.
"But why?" Castiel stared at his brothers agape.
"Because you are the pretty and would make a perfect woman. Also no one will suspect a woman." Gabriel giggled like a five year old and tapped the confused ex-angel on the shoulder.
"Hold your horses," Bobby raised a finger. Five faces stared at him instantly.
"Cas may make a pretty girl, but you are forgetting his voice." The old hunter sipped from his glass of Whiskey.
Right, that was a big problem, indeed. Castiel's deep voice could betray him. They needed a solution.
The thinking process was interrupted by Sam's exclamation. "I think I have an idea. What if Castiel pretends to be mute? The only thing he needs to do is look pretty and listen to the town folks."
Everyone looked at each other and nodded. Except Castiel. He did not like the whole stupid idea at all.
"Go on, get dressed, I said." Gabriel pushed Dean and Castiel towards the stairs. The hunter and the ex-angel looked at each other and slowly walked up the stairs.
"Let the show begin," Balthazar chuckled as he and everyone else waited for the main heroes.
After twenty minutes Dean appeared on the stairs. He had a smug look on his face. Apparently, he was loving it. The hunter was wearing the cowboy boots, black jeans, black velvet vest over the shirt and the duster. Dean was holding a black hat in his hand.
"Yeah I know, I look awesome ain't I?" he touched the belt and instinctively his hand slid over to the holster with a pistol in it.
"Not bad." Gabriel approved with a small nod.
"Where's feathers?" Bobby stared at the stairs doubtfully.
As the answer, there was a loud thud coming from upstairs and then someone cursed.
No one could suppress a chuckle, even Bobby. But chuckling turned into hysterical laughter when Castiel walked down the stairs. He looked so pissed!
Castiel was wearing a purple dress with tiny golden ribbons and black laces and the cowgirl's black leather boots. His hair was more ruffled than ever. Probably he had a tough fight with the dress while trying to put it on.
After the hysteria was over the audience decided to check Castiel's appearance thoroughly.
"You need to shave," Balthazar commented.
"I think his chest looks too flat for a woman," Sam narrowed his eyes.
"Good point. What else?" Gabriel was examining poor Castiel who was feeling awkward.
"Little bit of a make-up probably," Dean decided to participate in the discussion.
"Umm does not he need a wig or something?" Sam looked at Castiel skeptically.
"That will not be necessary after this." Gabriel snapped his fingers once again and Castiel's appearance changed: he had no stubble, but had a perfect make-up: black liner, mascara and light shades were underlining his beautiful blue eyes while the ex-angel's full lips were covered with a red lipstick. He was wearing sapphire earrings and a golden necklace. Damn, he looked stunning!
"Gabriel, what did you do?" Castiel exclaimed terrified as he touched his breasts.
"Calm down, kiddo. It's a special push-up bra made by me. Feels like real boobs at the touch" the archangel cackled and squeezed Castiel's left 'breast'.
Dean's ears turned red and he swallowed hard, mumbling something under his breath.
"So, listen here. Baal has a black spider tattoo on his left cheek. When you find him, tear the amulet off of him and summon us with this spell." Gabriel gave Dean a small piece of paper.
"I will go and convince the owner of the tavern that Castiel works at his tavern as his assistant," Balthazar added and vanished in a blink of an eye.
"Here, take this." Gabriel threw a small velvet bag at Dean. The hunter opened it and found some jewelry in it.
"To pay for drinks or any other things." The archangel winked at him.
Balthazar exploded into the room once more and Bobby cursed when the air knocked him over. "Damn angel!"
Balthazar glanced at Gabriel and nodded.
"Very well, you can go now, kids. Have a nice time." Gabriel put two fingers on Dean's and Castiel's foreheads and they vanished.
