Cas, Meg, Sam and Dean were all hiding out at the old cabin which once belonged to their father. They'd made there escape from the mental institution with hester and the other angels hot on their trail. They were formulating a plan to end Dick Roman and the leviathans.
"Cas, i need to talk to you alone" Dean said as he motioned castiel to follow him outside.
Once they were away from meg and sam dean voiced his concerns.
"Cas, we shouldnt be taking meg with us. We cant trust her" Dean stated
Castiel gave dean a serious look..."I trust her dean"
Dean sighed "I get it cas, she stayed with you but she has her own agenda. We cant be sure she wont turn on us"
"Shes coming dean, we need her"
Dean held his hands up in defeat "Fine, but if this all goes pear shaped just remember YOU trusted her"
Castiel nodded "I understand"
Catiel and dean returned inside.
Meg smirked as they entered "Boyfriend meeting?"
Sam let out a small laugh unable to hold it in.
"Shut up" Dean said bluntly not finding it funny.
Sam slapped his hands together to get everyones attention "So, whats the plan?"
"Weve got the weapon, all we need is opportunity" Dean answered
Meg smiled "Yes all we need to do is break into a building filled with leviathans and hope to find and kill the poppa"
Dean gave her a dirty look "If you want out just say so sister, not tears shed by me"
Meg glanced at castiel quicky before returning her gaze to dean "You need me so dont pretend like you dont. Strength in numbers deano"
Dean was about to speak when sam interupted "Ive gotta agree with meg, we need all the help we can get"
Dean clenched his fists tightly for a second then released them before speaking "Fine!"
Castiel looked at meg and gave her a genuine smile.
"When do we do this?" Castiel asked
"Tomorrow" dean stated "Its not like our chances of success with get any better if we wait"
Sam nodded in agreement "Alright then"
Dean waved his hand at Sam "Come on sammy we'll load up the impala"
When the boys had walked outside castiel approached meg "Meg, thank you...For helping us"
There was a small silence before cas spoke again.
"Meg you stayed with me in the hospital, you watched over me, why?"
Meg was taken back by his question. She wasnt about to tell him that she genuinely worried about him. That she stayed to make sure he was ok.
"Your my security clearence" She smiled "If we make it out of this ive still got crowley on my ass and i expect you to get rid of him for me" In truth that wasnt why she was there. All her natural instincts told her to run. To get out and save her own ass...but she couldnt bring herself to leave castiel. What she felt for him she would never admit to him.
Castiels face crunched up as if he was confussed "If you just want me to get rid of crowley why come with us tomorrow? Why risk your life?"
Castiel couldnt explain the feelings he had for meg. He'd never felt them before, they didnt come naturally to him. He was drawn to her. He new she was a demon, a souless creature yet he didnt see that. He saw past that. He only saw beauty and it confussed him.
Meg opened her mouth but before she could speak castiel shhhhhd her as he looked around the room.
Dean and sam came running in looking disturbed "Cas! I dont know how its possible but..." Dean stopped as the flutter of wings announced her presence
"Anna!" Cas said in disbelief
There stood anna milton, the angels. The very dead angel.
She smiled "Hello Castiel" She nodded her head to acknowledge the brothers "Sam, Dean"
Dean stared at her with wide eyes "How are...how are you here? How are you alive?"
"I believe god brought me back" Anna stated with a serious face
"Even if he did anna, what are you doing here!" Castiel said in an obviously annoyed tone
Anna took a few steps to enter the cabin further "Im here to help castiel. Im here to make things right"
Dean laughed out loud "Help? After what you tryed to do to sam? To me?" He scoffed "No thanks"
"Yes" Sam said over dean
Dean looked at sam in shock "Sammy what are you doing?"
"Weve been over this dean, we need all the help we can get" Sam said looking at cas "Right cas?"
"She cant be trusted" Castiel said in a rough tone
"And neither can meg" Sam shot back "But given our current situation we dont have the luxury of being picky"
Dean ran his hands down his face. He knew dean was right. "Yeah, sammy i hear you"
Meg had been silent. Processing the situation. Who was this chick? And why was she looking at clearence like that!
Anna stepped toward castiel a sad look on her face "Castiel im here to redeem myself, please give me a chance" Anna had just taken notice of the brunette not far from castiels side. Her sad face instantly turned into an angry one
"What is that!" She yelled motioning to meg
Dean smirk "Anna, Meg. Meg, Anna"
Cas took a protective step toward meg
Anna shook her head "Your working with demons castiel?"
Castiel held his head up high "Meg is none of your concern, you will leave her be"
Anna kept her gaze on meg and megs anger build up
"I dont like the way your looking at me!" Meg said in a cocky voice folding her arms while she glared at anna "Better be careful red"
"Meg stop" Castiel whispered.
"Simmer down girls" dean said laughing
"Your working with demons? Again?" anna questioned dean
"Meg is..." Dean trailed off
Sam picked up the slack "Shes here to help, just like you said you were" he paused before continueing "Your either in or out anna"
"Im in sam, i said i wanted to redeem myself and i do" Anna turned her gaze to meg and castiel "But i strongly suggest we drop the demon whore" Now Looking directly at meg she drawled out her last sentence..."You know what happened last time you trusted one." It was clear to everyone that anna meant ruby. Needless to say meg was pissed.
Megs face cruched up in anger "ALRIGHT THATS IT RED, LETS GO!" she spat as she clenched her fits and started walking toward anna but before meg could reach her her arm was pulled back. She turned around to see castiel had hold of her. "Let go clearence" She said threw grinding teeth
"No" Castiel said sturnly
Sam stepped foward looking very frustrated "Look weve got bigger problems going on then you girls and your cat fights. Tomorrow we take on dick" He looked to dean for some help but dean stayed silent "So despite what we think of each other, we have to work together to get this done"
Castiel nodded in understanding "Yes agreed"
Meg scoffed and shook castiels now loose grip from her arm before walking out the front door past anna, shoving her on the way.
Castiel approached the brothers while anna followed
Dean motioned to the door "wheres she gone?" he clearly directed his question at castiel.
Castiel stared at the door "To cool down. I'll find her" he said and with a flutter of wings he was gone
Anna looked from dean to sam then back at dean "I think we have some catching up to do" She said in a serious tone.
They both nodded
When the boys had finished explaining the dick roman leviathan situation along with everything else including the word of god and castiels temporary trip to the looney bin she definatly had some questions
"The...the angels are dead? All of them?" Anna said sadly
Dean gave her a sympathetic look "Cas said if theres any of them left there in hiding".
"And cas...he really took all the souls from purgatory?" She spoke quietly incase castiel returned
Sam nodded while dean spoke "Hell yes, and what a mess that was!"
Anna was in a serious state of shock and it took awhile till she spoke again
"And the demon, where does she come into this?" anna looked to the boys for answers
Dean threw his hands up in the air "Dont even get me started on meg!" he said with a clear look of annoyance on his face
"If you dont trust her, why is she here?" anna kept her gaze on dean
Dean sighed loudly "cas does..."
"and weve gotta respect that" sam added
"Castiel and the demon...they...are something?" anna questioned further
Sam let out a giggle "God no, cas is still as clueless as a five year old boy...they...just...actually i honestly dont no what there dynamic is"
Anna was silent. Processing all she had just learnt.
What couldve possibly pushed castiel to fall that far? she wondered. And this demon...had she corrupted him? She had always respected castiel and wanted to make things right with him...she'd always cared for him. She just never made it clear to him in all his innocence. But she would make it clear now.
Meg had been mraching up the gravel road toward town. Trying her hardest to refrain from going back and ripping that cows head off
Suddenly she was startled causing her to trip and fall backward on her butt.
"Cas!" she shouted "how many times do i have to tell you not to do that!"
castiel stood in front of her. Solid as a rock..."where are you doing?" he asked
Meg got up dusting herself off "nowhere! now leave me alone" she said as she side stepped cas ad kept walking
"Come back meg" Castiel spoke from behind her..."please"
meg turned around to look at him and gave him a half hearted smile "dont worry clearence, im not leaving you. I'll be back soon"
"I wont let her hurt you meg" castiel sais seriously
Meg smirked "Its not me you should be worried about feathers...but yea...i know"
Meg tryed her best to suppress a genuine smile. He really cared for her. He'd take out his own kind to protect her. And she'd do the same for him.
"We should get back" He said
Meg hesitated slighlty before nodding
"Come on" He said holding his hand out to her
"I dont need you to hold my hand clearance" She said is her smug voice
She wasnt about to play happy couple. It could never happen.
Castiel smiled at her resistance and followed behind her as they walked back to the cabin.
