Title: Next Time
Challenge: Time
Disclaimer: I do not own supernatural. If I did the show would end with sammy having a peg leg and dean a patch over one eye.
A/N: *SPOILER ALERT* Missing scene from the RAPTURE! This is a double drabble, because they were connected and had to go together. Read, and you will agree. It's half wee!chester. Mostly made of awesome. Also ARETHA IS MAH ANGEL. I MADE HER UP. GIVER HER SOME R-E-S-P-E-C-T. OH, and just cause I don't do reader replies that often that doesn't mean I don't love reviews. Because I really do, I am so thankful for all of your support.
"So, sad. Isn't it?" Aretha said. They were watching a father train his two boys to be fighters.
Castiel flinched to see the oldest son get hurt. "I need to help that kid."
"Cas!" She hissed. "Remember orders! We can't help the chosen kids!"
"I'll be right back." Cass called back softly.
A feather shield wrapped around Dean as John went to strike again. Dean's pain softened. Castiel smiled at his young charge.
Aretha hissed, "I won't stand by next time you disobey. You'll get in trouble."
"There won't be a next time," Castiel said, hiding his growing doubts.
(a/n The next one is several years later. Set in Rapture.)
"It doesn't make any sense!" Castiel shouted,"We're protectors!"
An audience of siblings stood by. Aretha at Zachariah's shoulder. Pleading with her eyes: Stop.
"We didn't ask you to think," his boss hissed."I thought you had learned last time not to defy orders. We cannot allow you to tell anyone. This is an order from your lord."
"Sorry, sir, but you can go to hell. This. Is. Wrong."
"No Castiel, you will learn your place this time."
Castiel felt a tug on his wing. Aretha was at his side. As his siblings' fists pummeled his frame, she whispered sadly, "Just orders."
