Castiel had been given orders, orders that would set Zachariah's and the other angel's plans into actions. Instead of stopping the Apocalypse they were going to let it happen. Let the youngest Winchester do what needed to be done. So Castiel had freed him, he did his job. Dean pledged himself to the lord and heaven's plan was falling into place.
Then came Anna. He had previously warned her, he had orders to kill her. She didn't listen and she showed herself and they took her. The betrayal he had performed surged through his veins. Castiel had betrayed one of the few angels he viewed as a friend. Uriel…well bad things happed to his friend and this time it was his fault.
"Are you checking in on me...again?" Castiel had heard the wisp like wings and felt her there. Sofiel again. A small happy chuckle filled the dead silence and he turned his head to look over his shoulder at the same small blond sitting on the yellow railing that he had been leaning on just moments ago.
"No….congratulations Castiel…looks like I'm your new partner"
"Partner?"
"You know…like Batman and Robin…without the spandex"
Batman and Robin? He was confused….weren't they cartoon characters created for mortal enjoyment?
"Never mind…"
Castiel kept his blue eyes focused on her face until her façade disappeared and the quirkiness she had tried to pull off disappeared. Her expression darkened to what looked like anger. A look that didn't fit her face.
"How could you Cas? Anna was your friend….and Sam…you saw it…even I saw it…demon blood" She shook her head and finally turned her brown eyes on him. Her body shook. "Why! How could you betray Anna!" She looked furious and confused.
"Ra-"
"This isn't rage…this is disappointment" Sofiel calmed herself and took a deep breath. She slid off the rail and landed on her feet and stood in front of Cas and left little space between them.
"Orders…are orders" Castiel's voice was stony…Heaven had reinforced the idea.
"I guess they are…" Sofiel quieted before raising her gaze from Castiel's tie to his face. "…sorry…the whole humanity stuff…messes with me" she tried to smile before she touched his tie curiously. Castiel watched, mesmerized about how close she was…and the fact that he didn't mind. Something was different, he lifted his head and gazed up at the sky before the hand touching his tie disappeared and once again, Sofiel left him alone to think things over.
