Amor Libertas.
Chapter Two.
Lucifer lay in the middle of the massive bed where the devil had left him. His eyes were closed but he wasn't asleep, merely resting after a nine hour spawning session.
"Luc?" said Beelzebub.
Eyes open slowly and a lazy smile greets him "Yes love" he replies.
"Did Cas or Gabe talk to you about this colony of theirs?" asked the devil as sat beside his Consort.
Lucifer stretches slowly…Beelzebub almost forgets the question he just asked as he watches his lover. Knowing the affect he has on his devil, Lucifer grins and says "Gabe told me why they wanted it".
"And?" said the devil.
"Their angels hate it here just as the demons hate heaven, they all like the valley I found so it was a perfect solution. Why do you think there's more to it?" replied Lucifer.
"Maybe…I am sure Cas didn't tell me everything about his new powers. I have a feeling this is going to go sideways…that dark angel will be trouble I can feel it" said the devil.
"Beelzebub you worry too much. Cas has Dean, he doesn't want anything but Dean so why would he be trouble?" replied Luc.
"I don't know love…it's just a feeling I have" said the devil.
"Like I said…you worry too much. Come back to bed?" replied Lucifer.
"You want more?" asked the devil in surprise.
"Always…can't get enough of you lover" grinned Lucifer.
Shaking his head at the re-awoken appetites of his Consort, the devil crawls up towards him grinning.
Cas sits by the lake, watching as the colony plays around in the cool water. Dean has just dunked Sam who comes up spluttering and cursing "Fuck you Dean…".
Dean grins and swims away from his brother, Sam gives chase. The dark angel smiles, thinking 'This is how it should always be. All of us together, safe and happy'.
A high pitched squeal draws his attention…Balthazar and Raph have Anna held between them and are swinging her out over the water in preparation for throwing her in.
"Stop" squeals the angel just before they both let go and she's thrown in.
Cas laughs at them.
There is no splash…Cas looks and see's that Legion has caught his angel before she hit the water and they are levitating just above it.
"That's cheating" pouts Raphael.
"Yeah no demon saves" adds Balthazar.
Legion grins at them and says "Stop trying to drown my angel and I won't have to save her".
"She can swim" replied Raph.
"True" says Legion before vanishing to reappear behind the angels.
Legion and Anna push Raphael and Balthazar in before they can turn around.
The dark angel shakes his head and smiles…a frown follows soon after as another of the visions he's been having hits him.
The lake is gone…he stands on scorched earth alone. The stench of blood and fire fills his nose and he cringes. He looks around him…broken bodies, flames are all he can see. Bleeding, dieing angels…dead and torn demons litter this place. Distantly Dean screams "Father NO".
He blinks and the lake is back…he shudders. The vision gets worse every time, more death and destruction each time he has it. Dean screaming is new and he never wants to hear that sort of fear in his lovers voice ever. The tone in his demons voice bought tears to the dark angels eyes, so lost in his own thoughts he didn't even sense the being approach him til Dean sat down next to him.
"Cas, love what's wrong?" asked Dean.
"Nothing" replied Cas.
"Bullshit, your crying" said Dean.
Cas reaches up and finds tears on his face, he hadn't even realised he was crying the vision had un nerved him that much.
"I…had another vision. It was worse than the last one…more dead and more destruction. They decimate the valley, nothing left but scorched earth and dead bodies. You were screaming…I couldn't see you but the sound of your voice love…I…" sobbed Cas as Dean wrapped his arms around his dark angel and held him tight.
"Shhhh, love it's ok. I'm here…" was all Dean could think to say.
"It will happen Dean…I'm seeing the future, I know I am. One of our fathers will bring this upon us and now I know it will be yours" said Cas.
"How?" asked Dean.
He can't look at his demon as he says "You were screaming Father NO".
Dean frowns then asks "How do we stop it from happening?".
"We have to hide the colony somehow…or move it. I don't know Dean but we have to do something before it happens or our new family dies…all of them" says Cas.
"You'll find a way love, I know you will. We have to push the making more dark angels though…we'll need the power" replied Dean.
Cas nods his agreement "Yeah, your right we need as much power as we can get. I'll talk to the angels about it but I think I'll go see my father first…I know he won't lie to me".
"Should I come with you?" asked Dean.
"I would love you too but for this I must go alone, he'll hold back if you are there and I need him to be honest with me" replied Cas.
His demon nods and says "I'll stay here and supervise the children" with a cheeky grin.
Cas smiles at Dean, which is exactly what he wanted.
'That's better' he thinks as he leans in to kiss Cas goodbye.
Cas walks through heaven being greeted by angels all the way, he reaches gods house. Walks in and finds it empty…he frowns. Uriel walks into gods house and says "Hello brother…father is comforting one of our sisters. He said he'll be with you soon".
"Hello, Uri. How are you?" replied Cas.
"Wonderful brother and you?" said Uriel.
"Great…we have a peaceful home of our own. I have Dean" replied Cas.
His brother grins at him and claps him on the shoulder "Glad to hear you are happy Castiel".
"I am just Cas now Uri…Castiel was an angel. I am something else now" replied Cas.
Uriel laughs "Cas it is then but no matter what you are now, you will always be my brother ok".
"As you will always be mine" replied Cas as he put his hand on Uriel's shoulder and smiled.
"So how are our brothers and sisters?" asked Uri.
"Happy and in love" grinned Cas.
"Good…I am happy for them all. Although I have been told that Anna's demon hates angels…is that true?" says Uriel.
"No…Legion is a special demon. He has a very acute sense of smell and angels smell bad to him. He likes the angels he knows just can't stand the smell of them so he always stands up wind when talking to them. Legion is actually quite nice" replies Cas.
"So how does he stand Anna?" asked Uriel.
"He says she smells different to other angels but won't say how" replies Cas.
Uriel laughs hard.
"Hello son" said god from the doorway.
"Hello father, how are you?" said Cas.
"Good my son. If you could excuse us Uriel, I believe your brother wishes a private talk" says god.
"Of course father. Stay well Cas" said Uri before leaving.
"You too Uri" replied Cas.
God sits down and offers his son a seat.
"No thank you father. I am worried for the safety of my colony. I need to know if you intend us harm in anyway?" said Cas.
"Of course not my son. Any harm to your colony will come from the devil…if he thinks your trying to take his throne by making your own army he will attack" replies god.
"I don't want his fucking throne…the only thing he had that I wanted I took and he has Lucifer. He can't have Dean too" said Cas.
"Then tell him that son" advised God.
"He should know it already…any authority he gave me in hell I used at his will or in defence of Dean" replied Cas.
"So it really comes down to Dean then doesn't it. Does the devil trust his son?" asks god.
"I think so" replies Cas.
"Then Dean needs to tell him you have no desire for his throne or his power" said god.
Cas laughs "I have no need of his power…I have my own".
"He will fear that too so do not display it to him. Have you any interest in Lucifer?" said god.
Cas frowns "No, I love Dean and Lucifer is my brother".
"One less problem to worry about then good. Perhaps you should celebrate the founding of the colony and invite him to the party…show him just how happy you are there" advised god.
"So he can see I don't want hell" says Cas.
"No, so you can tell him how very happy you are in your valley and don't want his throne" said god firmly.
Cas nods "Yes father I understand. We will invite you to visit on a separate occasion so Luc does freak out".
"Thank you son, I'd love that" replied god.
"Father…" says Uriel from the doorway.
God sighs and says "Do you know the demon Sitri?"
"Yes I do" replies Cas.
"He has broken your sisters heart and she won't stop crying. I am sorry my son but I must go comfort her. Will you wait?" said god.
"Yes father I will…I have more questions for you" replied Cas as god stood up.
"I shall be back soon son" said god as he left with Uriel.
Cas sighs and shakes his head, he looks around the room and thinks 'I need another heaven…a place of our own of equal power'.
A scroll on a shelf begins to glow softly, the dark angels frowns. Thinks the thought again, this time putting some of his new power behind the thought and the scroll glowed brighter. Cas grins as he walks to the shelf.
*All reviews welcome ! I wonder what Cas's new eyes have revealed to him? *
