NO GREATER REWARD

WOW: File. Great big scary spoilers for 4.01 – Lazarus Rising. Castiel reflects on his successful mission.

Disclaimer: I don't own them; dropped a penny into the wishing well. Didn't work.

He had stormed Hell furiously, exterminating swarms of infernal minions, scything through the demonic rank-and-file like a sabre through flesh.

His onslaught, brutal and absolute, was all for one man; this desecrated, ruined figure laying cradled in his arms.

The righteous man; the last hope of mankind.

Gripping his charge tight, he watched the bleeding wreckage of a flayed chest rising through a sigh as his grace began its work; mending, rebuilding and healing.

Castiel had undertaken his mission out of loyalty and obedience with no expectation of reward.

Instead he found Dean's friendship ...

There could be no greater reward.
