Angel with a shotgun
Chapter 2
I do not own Supernatural in any way.
A/N-Sadly nobody figured Celeste and Castiel's son's name. You can still submit your guesses. Cas_ (7 letters)
They say before you start a war,
you better know what you're fighting for.
Well baby, you are all that I adore,
if love is what you need, a soldier I will be.

Celeste opened her eyes and found herself on a beach. She sat up and found Castiel sitting next to her. "I'm dreaming aren't I?" Celeste asked.
"You're currently unconscious due to Raphael, yes", Castiel said.
"When Balthazar touched me, I saw a woman who looked like my mother. Who was she?" she asked Castiel.
"She was an angel. Like Anna, she ripped out her grace and fell", he told her, "Balthazar has been the most human angel I've ever met. Next to your father. He loved her".
"But who was she?" she asked again.
"I have to go", Castiel said getting up.
Celeste stood up.
Castiel leaned down kissed her forehead, before disappearing.
"Cass!" Celeste yelled sitting up. She looked around and realized she was in her room.
"Are you okay?" Gabriel asked her.
"I'm fine", she told him, "Really". She checked her phone and found a voicemail from Dean. She listened to it.
"Hey Celeste. Something's wrong with Sam. I'm not sure what, but Bobby is looking into it. Castiel's not answering. I hope you're okay. I'll keep you posted", it said.
"Dean seems to care about you", Gabriel said.
"Oh don't start Gabriel", Celeste snapped, "Besides, I prefer my men with wings".
With that statement, Gabriel was reminded of the night she became an archangel by sacrificing herself for him.
It was his fault she was what she was.
A few days later, Celeste got another call from Dean. "Anything more on Sam?" she asked.
"Nope. Bobby's still working on it", Dean said, "I need you to come. I'm trying to get a hold of Cass".
"He's not just going to answer for me Dean. Trust me. I've tried that already", she said.
"Please? I think we may have another loose nuke", he said. Dean gave her the address and room number.
She popped into the room and Dean handed her the laptop. "Gabe's horn of truth? Really?" Celeste scoffed.
"What?" Dean asked.
"That thing's not real. I know that for a fact", Celeste told him.
"Well, we'll see about that", Dean said, "Castiel? Hello? Possible loose nuke down here, angelic weapon. Kinda your department. You hear that, Cass?"
The two turned around and saw Castiel.
"Hello, Dean. Celeste", Castiel said.
"Are you kidding me? I have been on red alert about Sam, and you come for some stupid horn?!" Dean yelled.
"You asked me to be here, and I came", Castiel said.
"I - I've been asking you to be here for days!" Dean yelled.
"I didn't come about Sam because I have nothing to offer about Sam", Castiel said bluntly.
"Well, that's great, because for all we know, he's just gift wrap for Lucifer", Dean snapped.
"No, he's... he's not Lucifer", Castiel said grabbing the bottle of whiskey.
"And how do you know that?" Dean asked.
Castiel poured the whiskey into Dean's glass. "If Lucifer escaped the cage, we'd feel it", Castiel explained, "And Celeste would be able to sense him".
"What is wrong with him?" Dean asked.
"I don't know, Dean. I'm sorry", Castiel said.
"What happened to you, Cass? You used to be human, or at least like one", Dean said.
"I'm at war", Castiel said turning away from Celeste and Dean, "Certain... regrettable things are now required of me".
"And Gabriel's Horn of Truth? That's a real thing?" Dean asked.
"No", Celeste said at the same time Castiel asked, "You've seen it?"
"We think it's in town. Something's forcing people..." Dean said.
Castiel disappeared.
"Oh, well, you're welcome!" Dean yelled. Dean took a drink of his whiskey as Castiel reappeared behind him.
"It isn't the Horn of Truth", Castiel told him.
"I told you!" Celeste said.
"What are you talking about? You were gone for like two seconds. Where did you look?" Dean asked, ignoring the teenage archangel.
"Everywhere", Castiel said like it was the most obvious thing in the world.
"Right. Well, nice seeing you, anyway", Dean said turning away.
"Dean", Castiel said.
"What?" Dean growled.
"About your brother. I... I don't know what's wrong with him, but I do want to help. I'll make inquiries", Castiel said.
Castiel turned to Celeste.
There was an unspoken goodbye between them.
Castiel kissed her head and disappeared.
"Yeah. Thanks", Dean said.
Celeste sat on Dean's bed.
It was quiet in the room, until Celeste broke the silence by saying, "He hasn't kissed me in a year".
Dean turned to Celeste. "What?" he asked.
"He won't kiss me. Something's wrong. Something bad is going to happen. I just know it", she said, "I don't have the insight of Gabriel, but my intuition is never wrong".
Dean sighed and sat next to her.
"He doesn't tell me anything. I know there's a war in heaven, but Cass never tells me anything about it. One of these days he's going to die and I won't know what to do with myself", she said.
Dean hugged her and said, "Everything will be okay".
Celeste desperately wanted to believe him.
The bonus question is the same as the last chapter:
Who do you think was the woman in the vision?
