"Cas?"
"Bobby, oh thank you. My grace is too weak right now and I couldn't come in."
"How is that-?"
"Possible"
"I've been searching for my grace since I fell, I couldn't go back to..." Castiel started explaining when his eyes glued to the two beings laying down the comfort sofa.
"Dean?!" The question formed in his lips. "Bobby?!"
"Yes, I'm on that one as well." Castiel blinked and moved to another subject.
"I'm sorry about Naomi sending you down without your knowledge, but it was for the best." Castiel said, messing his hair with one of his hands, a tired expression on his face. Bobby understood, and nodded in acceptance.
Sam woke at about that time, hearing a familiar voice in the room. His eyes bulged when he saw Castiel sitting across from Bobby at the small kitchen table.
"Cas? How did you get here?" He asked, surprise lacing his words. He sat up on the couch, adjusting his still-sleeping brother to lay alone before making his way to the table.
"I did quite a bit of walking." He changed the subject quickly. "What's happened to Dean?"
"We don't really know yet. He ate some candy I bought, and then he was a kid. I need to up Abby later so she can help keep an eye on him, while Bobby and I try to figure it all out."
Castiel tilted his head. "Abby? Does she know yet?"
"Nope!" Bobby cut in. The former angel's expression showed concern.
"I just don't really think this is a phonecall thing, Cas." Sam hurridly added.
"She is not going to be happy about this."
"Yeah, I know that."
They heard movement coming from the sitting room and shifted their attention. Dean was beginning to wake up.
The young boy rubbed at his eyes and looked over to the group, smiling at the familiar face that had joined them while he slept.
"Cas!" He sprung from his spot on the sofa and jogged over to his friend, hugging him tightly around the waist. "You're okay!"
Castiel laughed, patting him on the head. "Yes, I'm fine!" He looked to Sam and Bobby. "He is much more affectionate in this younger form, isn't he?"
Once Dean had gotten some time to visit with Bobby and Castiel, Sam told him about the plan to pick up Abigail.
"It's about a 5 hour drive to get back to the bunker, Dean, so we need to head out pretty soon if we're going to be back here tonight. Alright?"
"Abbiee!" He said, excitement in his voice. "Let's go!"
"Would you like for me to accompany the two of you on the road, Sam?"
"Sure, Cas." Sam said with a smile. "Okay, Bobby. We should be back some time tonight."
"Alright then. I'll see you when you get back, boys."
Sam helped Dean to buckle up in the back seat before taking his spot behind the wheel. Cas was already waiting patiently in the passenger's seat.
Sam started the car, fixing the rearview mirror so he could see his brother better while driving, for at least 15 minutes Dean was quiet, just watching the other cars pass by, Cas had closed his eyes, resting a bit, while Sam drove distracted by all his turmoils thoughts.
"Cas, I heard you saying to Bobby that you were sorry Naomi brought him back?"
"Oh, yes. I did tell him that. I suppose he was angry when he was reacquaintance with you both."
"Angry?! He was fumming." Sam stated.
"I bored Sammy, turn up the radio, please?" Cas smiled at the boy and took the task himself, he was about to changed the station when Dean exclaimed "NO! It's your song, Cas!"
Sam turned the volume up, knowing already the boy would sing it along, it didn't took long.
"Angel with a shot gun, shot gun... Don't you know you everything I haveee! Ahhhhh!"
Castiel smiled, he might be a child right now but he was still Dean, alright.
For the first hour Dean was entertained with the music, and the current chit-chat of Sam and Castiel and the view outside, Sam was okay with it so far checking him out off and on, after some minutes Dean yawn and laid down on the window, closing his eyes for a little time.
Meanwhile in the Batcave
"Maybe something bad happened to them?" Said Abby pouring some tea over her mug.
"Chill out Abbies, I'm sure they're fine." Answered Kevin, mixing the frying eggs.
"Or perhaps they found Cas. Maybe someone else that could help us with the whole Apocalypse Now thingy?"
"That's a good one." Said Crowley a smile in his face.
"No one asked your opinion Crow." Responded Abby a tight angry but smiling anyway, that ridiculous British demon had find a soft spot in her heart and nomitated it.
"Oh, probably they are just being Winchesters, mourning over their lost angel, Dean more than Sam I'm sure -" Crowley started talking and gesticulating. "Sam must be blaiming himself over his not death thing, but I'm glad he's alive, I have a soft spot on him, you know? Must be self loading or whatever his blood made me feel all tinglingly inside."
"You really love your voice, don'tcha Crowley?" Kevin said, letting the eggs rest in a plate.
"I find it incredibly sexy."
"Please.." Abby rolled her eyes and shook her head, long blond hair falling in cascades around her sholders. "I wonder why we still keep you around..."
"You know you love me, Cher, there's no need to hide."
"You wish." She mumbled, while Kevin had a small smile on his face.
"Careful, sweet, your angel is showing." And if looks could kill, Abigail had just gave him one worth of dying.
She had her grace, but she hided it from the Winchesters, the only one aware of it was Cas, and well now Crowley too, after all if it wasn't for Abby herself Sam wouldn't have survive, so playing the dutifull friend, she spent nights watching the younger Winchester, it had always been her job, until she started to fell for him and her brother and boss Metatron had cast everyone of her siblings out, which was the reason she kept herself in low ground, she didn't want anyone discovering her safety place.
They sat together in silence and ate, Abby glancing at the clock every five minutes, she hated that without Sam knowing she could pretty much feel him, his thoughts sometimes a bit messy were usually her favorite place to stay, though she simply didn't understood why he was so closed to her at this very moment.
"More juice Abby's?" Kevin questioned, she smiled accepting the small favour.
"Sammy?!" Called an sleepy Dean after almost three yours.
"Hey champ. How're feeling?" asked Sam, smiling at his baby brother.
"Are we there? Can we see Abbies?" Questioned the boy, rubbing his sleepy eyes.
"Oh we have another hour, but we about to stop to grabby some lunch and bathroom, I'm going to call her to let her know we're coming back, alright?" Sam informed him.
"Can I have pie?"
"No Dean, it's not healthy." Cas informed him. "We must have burgers, they are very important to a growing child." Sam eyed Cas from the corner of his eyes and shook his head while parking the Impala on a nice little Rest Stop called "Heaven Candy".
"I like the name of this place." Castiel stated "I too." Agreed a happy Dean, Sam had come out of the car at the same time as Cas that was already coming to stand on his side, Dean waited for his brothers to help him out.
"Yummy burgers here we comeee!" The boy exclaimed the moment he was out and picked his best's friends hands and pulling him to a run. Sam laughed while locking the car. Perhaps he could convince both into eating a healthy meal.
They found an empty table, the place was cozy and there was at least five of six other people inside. A beautiful honeyed eyes, long honey colored hair in a point tail and slim curves came to attend them.
"Oh, hello boys, how may I help you?" Her voice was soft and she couldn't keep her eyes out of Sam, the older Winchester smile and was about to do the order when Dean said "Are you checking my brother out?"
"No, of course not darling. I'm Lily, I'll be your server today." She said, blushing furiosly.
"We would like three salads-"
"Sammy..." Dean started, Sam arched his eyebrows to his brothers and continued "And two burgers with fries, and three orange juices as well."
"I really..." Cas was about to say something when Dean threw his face to side looking cute and curious. "What Cassie? Can't eat salad?"
"Oh, nothing actually." Cas said, the girl smiled "Well, I'll be right back with your order."
Sam gave Dean the biggest bitch face ever before asking "What was that all about?"
"She was eating you up with her eyes, I swear, Sammieee." Dean phrased in a whining voice.
"Al-right, I'm just gonna go outside to call to Abby, you both-" Sam said giving them hard looks "try not to cause any damage."
Sam opened and closed the restaurant door, picking his cellphone from his pocket he dialed the familiar number.
"Finally, Sam!" Sam heard before even a 'hello' from his side was said. "Where are you boys, got yourself in what kind of trouble?!"
"Hey Abby, I... we are going back home, hmm, Cas found us, he got his mojo back, I guess he was searching for it while we were healing and looking out for any other angels."
"So, Dean and Cas are okay, right?" Sam watched both of the boys, now literally playing with the food that had just arrived, Cas was laughing while Dean pretended that the french fries were vampire teeth "Sam!?" Abigail called at him. "Yes, Abby they are more than just fine, we will be home soon, love ya." He hung up and quickly took a picture of the moment, he would love to show that to his big brother as soon as he was back. He entered the shop and joined them, they ate, chit-chating about nothing and everything at the same time.
Cas notice Lilly was staring at them, and used his mind to comunicate with her "Gabriel, is that you brother?" But received nothing but silence, he closed his blue eyes in sadness, but sobber quickly when he saw the brothers joking with each other.
Lilly held her breathe, before silently thinking "Not yet, little brother, not quite yet." The archangel had too many plans to work it out first. And he was certainly enjoying Dean as a child, so cheeky.
Abigail sighed, returning the cell phone to it's previous spot in her left pocket as she sat down on her bed. Something was wrong, she could sense that much.
"I love you, too." She whispered to the air around her.
"Ahh, pining over the Moose here are we love?" Her head shot up, expression already fixated in a glare at the doorway. "Go away, Crowley."
The recently humanized King of Hell grinned mischievously, walking in to the room anyways.
"Oh, come on dear, you can be honest. It's just me. You know, I don't have the slightest idea how you possibly have time to think about keeping your cover when you're so preoccupied with him, I really don't. I tip my hat to you, love, you are a fine multitasker."
"Either stop talking willingly, or I will blow my cover and make you stop myself."
A hearty laugh broke past his lips. "Oh, alright. Don't get your feathers ruffled sweetheart. So, has your neverending concern found them safe and sound at last?"
"Sam says they're on the way back here now, and that Castiel is with them." She smiled, doing her best to focus on the knowledge of her brother's safety instead of the feeling that she was somehow being misled.
"Oh really? Now how'd they manage to find that featherless fellow?" She rolled her eyes partially, unsure of why she felt the need to further this conversation. It was very hard to admit to herself that, since he'd been changed by Sam, she actually enjoyed his company at times. An angel keeping company with the King of Hell. She never thought she'd live to see the day.
"He said Castiel found them, and that he's got his mojo back somehow or another."
"Well I'll be damned. Now I'll have two sets of wings to tiptoe around while I'm here."
"What's Abby say?" Dean asked, stuffing a few French fries in his mouth as Sam took his seat.
"Oh, she was a little worried we might be in trouble. I let her know we're all fine and headed back that way." Dean's eyebrows pushed together with confusion. "I'm not fine."
"Sure ya are! You're alive, no broken bones, no head trauma, soul's still in your possession-by our standards we're not doing half bad here!"
"But I'm six. It's kind of a problem." Castiel chuckled lightly at his sarcastic tone, and Sam rolled his eyes at the both of them.
"Yeah, well, we'll cross that bridge when we get there, alright? Finish your food so we can hit the road."
"Just sayin'." Dean mumbled past a large bite of his hamburger.
Before long they were ready to leave the rest stop, Dean tugging Cas along to the car while rambling about his being excited to see Abby. Sam stopped at the register, which was currently being run by Lilly, to pay for the meal.
"Oh, and here's your tip." He added, handing her a $5 bill.
She smiled, a flirty sparkle to her eyes. "You shouldn't have, handsome. It's been my pleasure."
The tall man returned the smile awkwardly. "Well, have a nice day."
"You too, sweetie! Y'all come back now, you hear?" Lilly laughed cynically to herself once he was outside of the diner. "Or I can keep bringing the party to you."
Abigail was lounging in the sitting room when she heard the familiar echo of a key moving around in the iron door's lock. They were finally back. She made her way up the stairs, eager to greet her brother above all else.
Castiel was the first to walk in, and she met him with a warm hug. "I'm so glad that you're alright, Cas."
"It's good to see you, Abby." The duo instantly connected over angel radio.
