Disclaimer: I don't own Supernatural or its characters. I only own Charmeine.

A/N: Hi! This is post the Apocalypse that didn't quite happen. Gabriel's alive, everyone's safe, Jo and Ellen are alive too, which will bring some comfort to Charmeine when certain things occur that the men can't deal with. Castiel is falling and will eventually become human.

Anyway, hope you enjoy!

A Whole New World to Me

~Chapter One: We're Family~

Dean smiled at his brother and then the angel he considered a brother who sat on the other side of him, raising his beer as the others did.

"To Castiel's humanity, to Lucifer's death, and to a new start." Dean said, the others clinking bottles with him before taking a drink.

Castiel had been given a choice by God, who'd finally shown his face, whether to remain an angel or become a human and stay with the Winchesters. Castiel, who had been loyal to Dean and Sam through it all, decided to lose his Grace. It would happen slowly and he was growing more human every day, but he didn't mind in the slightest. He liked the experience and learning new things. He enjoyed being taught things by Dean and Sam, and enjoyed hunting from Dean and Sam's perspective.

Despite the Apocalypse not happening, there were still things to hunt and Sam and Dean were more than content to do so. Bobby was up and walking again and Crowley occasionally showed his face, as Gabriel did too, having been resurrected by God.

The angel suddenly looked up, eyes moving around the bar before he looked to the brothers.

"We need to go outside." He said, Dean and Sam sharing confused looks.

"Why?"

"One of my siblings is falling..."

Dean and Sam stood up, Castiel moving past them and going out onto the street, searching the area for whoever had fallen or was falling. Then he felt his Grace pulse a little, following the signal and finding a young brunette with dark brown eyes, a small, straight nose and full lips on her hands and knees, wearing merely a thin blue dress with no sleeves. She had no shoes either and the rain outside was coming down so fast it hurt Dean and Sam to be under it.

"Charmeine!" Castiel breathed, running towards the young woman and taking her by the arms, "Charmeine, it's Castiel..."

The fallen angel looked up at him, bloodied and bruised before breaking into tears.

"I fell..."

Charmeine and Castiel shared sad looks before Castiel nodded.

"I know."

He took off his trenchcoat, wrapping it around the new human's body before helping her stand, supporting her as they moved towards the Winchesters.

"Cas, be careful, there's broken glass around here." Dean said, Castiel lifting his trembling sister into his embrace.

"Let's just get her to the motel and I can introduce you properly..." Castiel whispered, kissing her head gently, "I can't take her in that bar...please, Dean."

Dean nodded and the three headed back to the Winchesters' motel room.

The angel hadn't introduced Charmeine properly just yet, but he would. Now, he was just trying to administer first aid to her and to help her bathe. He bathed her in her underwear for now, quickly getting over his embarrassment at seeing a female so bare.

"Castiel...?" Charmeine's soft voice said, her big brown eyes meeting his blue ones as tears fell down her face, "Am I safe now?"

"Yes." Castiel promised, stroking his hand through her hair, "You're safe with me...safe with us. We'll protect you, Charmeine, don't worry."

The beautiful fallen angel rested her head on her knees which were pulled up to her chest, letting out quiet sobs as Castiel tried to clean her up. He grimaced and pressed a kiss to her temple, dabbing her cuts on her body gently and taking the hand she reached out to him with.

"Hush," He said softly, "It's all okay."

"I love you, Castiel." She whispered, "You're the only brother who would look after me..."

"I love you too, Charmeine." Castiel replied, "And I would be there for you always, you know that."

The young woman nodded.

"Thank you."

Castiel kissed her hand and helped her out of the bathtub, drying her body off and passing her some clean and dry clothes of his.

"I know they're male clothes, but I'm sure one of the brothers will go and buy you your own in the morning..." He reassured her, "I'll give you some privacy."

With that he kissed her forehead, pressing his to hers for a moment and leaving her to get dressed.

"So who is she?" Dean asked when Castiel had closed the door.

"Charmeine." Castiel replied, "The angel of harmony. One of the most beautiful in Heaven, and the most sensitive...so please be careful around her. She's one of the angels who can feel emotion...and it appears that she's very emotional right now."

The brothers nodded.

"She will need her own clothing," Castiel said, "And I think she may be coming down with a cold or something...she was coughing in the bathroom and also she'd been in the pouring rain with barely any clothing on her body so she might require medicine."

"Is she gonna be okay?" Sam asked, Castiel sighing and scrubbing a hand over his face.

"I hope so, yes." He replied, turning when she appeared in the room in a pair of his boxers and one of his hoodies.

The brothers smiled, trying to give her a welcoming atmosphere and Castiel moved forward to take her hand.

"Charmeine, this is Sam and Dean Winchester," He said softly, "Sam and Dean...this is Charmeine."

"Hi." Sam said gently.

"Hey." Dean said with a smile, Charmeine smiling back weakly.

"Hello, Sam...hello, Dean."

Those beautiful brown eyes locked onto Dean's for a moment before Castiel led her to the bed he was supposed to sleep in that night. He had to learn to get used to that. The brothers checked the clock to see it was the early hours of the morning.

"Maybe we should make for Bobby's soon..." Dean suggested, "When we've been out and gotten Charmeine some things."

The others nodded and Dean went to the couch where he'd been sleeping, Castiel deciding to stay awake and watch his sister while Sam climbed into bed. The brothers tried not to overhear Castiel speaking with his sister but the tenderness of the conversation was just rendering them unable to.

"Castiel...how do I sleep?"

"Just close your eyes and relax your body. Don't think of anything at all." He told her, "Goodnight, Charmeine."

"Castiel, don't leave me...please..." She whispered, "Don't make me sleep alone...I'm afraid...I..."

Castiel didn't know what to do so he climbed into bed beside her, letting her rest on his chest and he stroked her hair soothingly.

"Don't worry," He promised, "I'm right here, and you're safe. Go to sleep."

Charmeine did within minutes, Castiel falling asleep soon after.

Great...another new human to deal with. At least Castiel and Bobby would be able to help them.
