A/N: This is a completely AU story that starts off in season 5, episode 10: Abandon All Hope. I decided to try and write a rather unique couple I recently found had a small fan base: Jo and Castiel. We'll see if I'm up to the challenge.

Destined Revelations

Chapter One

Bobby had it in his head that it was their last night on earth, just like everyone else in the room. A somber mood hung in the air that not even whiskey could fade. The old hunter ordered the group to stand together while he got his ancient camera ready. Jo and Ellen huddled close to the group while Dean, Sam, and Castiel joined in. Bobby ran over in a hurry and just before the camera flashed Jo looked over at the angel, only to find him gazing back at her with a curious gaze.

After the family photo everyone departed to their own parts of Bobby's cluttered old house. Sam and Dean were off with Ellen in an attempt to see who could consume the most alcohol. Bobby had buried himself in a book behind his desk and quenched his thirst with sips of whiskey. Jo had enough drinking for the night and wanted to avoid a hang over tomorrow. It was going to be a big day and she knew she had to be on her best game. Even though she had gained a lot of experience hunting in the past year she still felt the need to prove herself in front of the Winchesters. Plus if this was her last night on Earth she refused to spend it in a drunken haze she could not remember, she was going to live it with a clear head.

With that thought in mind she wandered out the back door to find the only other sober person on the property. Well he was not exactly a person, but he looked like one in his vessel. Castiel stood by the back steps with his cerulean eyes up at the sky. He did not turn when the door squeaked open and Jo emerged. She sat quietly on the wooden steps and just watched him for a few seconds. She wondered what he had been thinking earlier when she caught his eye, or what Heaven was like, or why he seemed so damn attractive to her.

From the second Dean had introduced them Jo could not help the aching curiosity she had over him. He seemed lonely in this world and she wanted to help him somehow. Sure him and Dean seemed to be friends in a weird way but Jo knew Dean could be quite insensitive at times. Maybe Castiel needed someone to try and look at things form his point of view for once, rather than him being forced to try and empathize with humans every two seconds like Dean wanted him to.

"What are you looking at?"

She finally asked, breaking the silence between them. Castiel turned around slowly, his eyes settling on her form huddled on the steps.

"The sky"

He answered simply and looked at her like he thought he had answered her question quite well. Jo could not help but grin, realizing she was going to have to be much more specific with him.

"I meant why are you looking at the sky, there must be a reason you are staring at it in complete silence." She replied, curiously awaiting his answer.

Castiel looked back at the sky for a second or two then returned his gaze to Jo.

"It reminds me of home, well Heaven as you would call it."

His answer was intriguing just as she thought it would be. She stared into his eyes but the emotions hidden behind them were a mystery to her.

"Do you miss it? Being in Heaven all the time?"

She asked quietly, since the noise in the house had dimmed quite a bit. Maybe everyone had passed out from drinking so much. Castiel stepped closer to her, and his face creased with thought. Jo had kind of figured he would say yes instantly but it seemed like the rebellious angel was not so sure himself. His deep voice captivated her as he spoke.

"Sometimes I long for the order my life used to have. Everything was right or wrong, there was no questioning it. Like my brothers and sisters I did what I was ordered to do and that was my existence. However since being on Earth I am starting to see how free will, emotions….they seem to create complex bonds between humans. Bonds like the one Sam and Dean share do not exist between my brothers and I, or anyone in Heaven for that matter."

His voice was plagued with sorrow and the forlorn look in his eyes made Jo want to get up and give him a hug. But she figured that might be inappropriate so instead she patted the spot on the steps next to her, inviting him to sit down. At first he stared at her with confused eyes but within a few seconds he caught on and took a seat next to her. He seemed so lost. She remembered feeling that way before her mother finally gave in and let her hunt full time. Attempting a normal life made Jo feel off, like she was in a world where she did not belong. Was that how Castiel was starting to feel about Heaven?

For hours they sat together in silence but it was a comfortable one. Just as the sun was starting lighten the sky Jo looked over at the confused angel beside her.

"You know Castiel, I'm not sure if it helps but I want you to know I think you're doing the right thing. I don't even know if I believe in God but if he is out there, maybe you're the one angel passing this weird test of his. You're the one not willing to give up and just let the apocalypse happen."

She whispered quietly, her dark eyes glancing over at him. He was staring back at her and he was certainly leaning into her personal space. If Jo had been next to anyone beside an angel she would have thought they were about to kiss her. Instead she read the emotions on his face and could see the slightest flicker of relief pass over his features.

"Thank you Jo"

He replied softly.

Maybe he just needed one person to truly have faith in him.

A/N:This wil be a chaptered story if I get a couple reviews! I plan on writing up to the end of season 5 at least if readers like this!
