"A new Angel was created in Heaven today."

"Oh, great. Just what we need. One more dick."

Cass shakes his head slightly. "A new Angel is only created when one has died."

Cass looked so sad that Dean thought he probably knew the dude well. "Um, sorry. Was he a friend of yours? The one that died?"

"I knew him intimately…it was me."

"What? What does that even mean?"

"It means that to Heaven, I'm dead. I don't belong there anymore. I can never go back, ever."

"I'm sorry, Cass. What's the new dick's name?"

"His name is Castiel."

"Huh. That's original."

"It's traditional. There is only one Castiel in the Heavenly host. Now, that's him. I am no longer Castiel."

"So where does that leave you?"

"Normally that would leave me with no name. And with no name, I would cease to exist."

"I hear a 'but'"

"But because of you, Dean. I have a name. My name is Cass."
