Smash Into You
Dean was stuck, tied to the chair that Meg forced his unconscious body into. As he started to come to, he noticed he wasn't in the abandon warehouse he chased the demon into. It had been close to two weeks sense he last saw Sam, so he figured he only had one person to call on for help.
"Well good morning sunshine!" Meg said in a sarcastically nice voice.
"Oh shit, your still here? I thought you would have skipped town a while ago." Dean said in a half joking manner.
"Believe me, I want out of this shit hole, but I have other orders from dad." She said referring to Lucifer, turning her back on the hunter. In that split second Castiel appeared and began to untie Dean, but Meg was too fast. Before either of them knew what was happening, they were trapped in a ring of holy fire as Meg cackled in her success.
"It's about time you showed up feather head. What's the matter, losing your wings too?" Meg asked, all too eager to gloat.
"Not quite." Castiel grimaced.
"Oh well. It doesn't matter anymore, not as long as we have both of you here. You know, you're pretty predictable for an ex-angel and top notch hunter. I'm a little disappointed." Meg teased.
"Screw you bitch. What do you need Cas here for anyway?" Dean barked at her, still groggy from being knocked out.
"Oh Dean, its nothing big, Dad just wants to have a quick word with your little boyfriend." Meg said trying to strike a nerve but in a nonchalant way.
"What does he want with me?" Cas asked at his head began to tilt.
"I'll let him tell you himself. Don't go anywhere… oh wait, where can you go?" Meg asked as she left the room laughing.
"Dean, are you alright? I've been looking for you for days." Castiel asked as he finished untying his hands and feet.
"Yeah, where are we? Last thing I remember I was in a warehouse outside of Philadelphia." Dean said trying to gain his balance. He could tell it had been a while sense he last stood up.
"We are in Idaho." Castiel said bluntly as if Dean should have expected it.
"Idaho? How long have I been out? And an even better question, how did you find me? I thought you couldn't use your angel radar with this crap on my rib cage." Dean asked, holding his hands to his chest.
"You have been missing for close to a week now. I followed some leads on where to find Meg. Listen, Sam is on his way, that's why it took me so long to get here. I couldn't think of anybody else who would help." Cas said looking down at his shoes, knowing what was coming next.
"YOU DID WHAT!? So you're bringing Lucifer his vessel on a silver platter? Did you even think this one through?" Dean was livid, but kept his eyes focused on Cas cause he could see that Castiel did have a plan.
"Please Dean, I'm not stupid. Sam, Bobby and Rufus are on their way now." Cas said looking right into Deans eyes.
"So what? Now we just have a little tea time with the devil, waiting for them to get here? Can't you do anything to get us out of here?" Dean was almost pleading to Castiel.
"This is holy fire Dean. You saw how Gabriel and Raphael reacted to it. Imagine what it will do to me!" He said, voice rising to an almost loud volume, but till getting his point across to Dean.
"Aw, come on guys, I'm the one your supposed to be fighting, not each other" Lucifer said in a laugh, walking through the door.
"Well, well, well. How is that hole in your head?" Dean said in response with a half smile.
"All healed up, no thanks to you. But that's not what I'm here to talk about now. Castiel, have you given any thought to my, most gracious offer?" Lucifer asked, with an honest look of hope in his eyes.
"No, and even if I had, the answer would still be the same. What you're doing is wrong Lucifer, and you will be punished when we find Father." Castiel said in response in a matter-of-fact tone.
"I see, but the only problem with your plan is that our Father is dead, and he is not coming back. So why not just join the winning team? I can make it well worth your while." Lucifer said, waving his hand through the air. With that one little wave, Castiel could feel all of his powers coming back, more powerful then ever.
"No Lucifer, all the power in the world could never make me join you." And with that, he felt all the power he had just regained leave, like it was being sucked out of him from every pore of his vessels body. The instant feeling of weakness caused him to collapse on the floor.
"Cas! You ok? Why do you want Cas anyway? Can't you-"
Dean was cut off by a huge explosion in the room that Lucifer had come from.
"Damn, looks like you brought friends. My vessels in no shape to fight, so I guess you guys are off the hook for now." He said bitterly. Dean hadn't noticed till Lucifer had said it, but even more of his vessels skin had desolved, not being able to contain the angels massive power. Two seconds after Rufus rushed into the room, Lucifer vanished into thin air. Right after that they heard the girl Meg was riding scream in pain, as Meg left her body in the next room over. Rufus grabbed a bottle of water from his bag and put out the holy fire surrounding Dean and Castiel. Dean picked up Castiel in both arms and carried him out, the angel being too weak from his quick rise and fall of new power.
Outside, Bobby was waiting in the passenger seat of Rufus's SUV and Sam was waiting in the driver seat of the Impala, engine ready to go. Dean carefully helped Castiel into the back seat of the Impala, before jumping in next to him for support. With a rev of the engine, both cars sped off down the road of what looked to be an old abandon house, but noticed quickly they were driving away from an old cemetery.
