"Where does it hurt, Cas?" Asked Dean as he and Sam carefully laid him on the couch.
"I've believe I've been badly cut just below my vessel's heart. The creatures had angel swords." Castiel began. "Raphael must be training them as well as supplying them." He said, thinking deeply.
"Creatures... you don't know what they were?"
"No. They were something I've never seen before. Hybrids I think"
"Uh, were they part vampire, part wraith?"
"I believe so. Why?" Cas asked intently.
"We've seen them before, a couple nights back and not too far from here. I named them Jefferson Starships..."
"Sorry, you named them what?"
"Jeff- never mind, Cas."
"So what can we do to help, Castiel?" Sam asked.
"I think I will be fine now, I can heal myself here, though it may take a few hours until I can defend myself. Where my battalion and I were fighting, Raphael had made it so we couldn't heal ourselves. Luckily, I had just enough strength to bring myself here." Castiel explained.
"Well I'm glad you did, Cas" Dean said as a little smile crept upon his lips.
"Hey Bobby, we should start interpreting those runes..." Sam said quickly, looking at Dean, then Castiel.
"Yeah, c'mon." Said Bobby as he rose from his chair and walked into the next room with Sam.
So the slowly mending angel, and his human companion sat in silence, waiting for one another to say something.
As weird as it sounds, Dean liked these moments. Moments where it was just Cas and him. being with Cas felt good, it was like nothing was wrong in the world, and he could forget about everything.
"Dean?" Said Cas with a confused look on his face.
"Yeah?" Dean replied as he looked deep into Cas' round eyes.
"Why were you making that expression?"
"Uh, what expression, Cas?"
"I find it hard to explain. You were looking just over there..." Castiel lifted a limp arm and pointed to the window. "However, at the same time, you weren't looking at anything... Also, you started to smile for no apparent reason"
"Oh, I, er.. I was just thinking. Day dreaming I guess."
"I'm sorry, but I do not understand the reference 'Day dreaming'..." Castiel said reluctantly.
"Oh. Well basically, you kind of 'zone out'." Explained Dean "And you just think about things, it can happen when ever, though it's more likely to happen if you're bored, tired or worried.
"Am I boring you, Dean?" Said Cas, as he looked deeper into Dean's eyes.
"Of course not, Cas. I'm just worried."
"What about?"
"To be honest, I don't remember what it's like to not be worried. Everything is just getting me down. And especially now we know about this 'Mother of All' person. She seems like a right old bitch."
"I'm sorry I've brought more worry onto you. I wont do it again" Cas said, looking down.
"Oh no, don't worry about that! We were going to find out sooner or later. It's not your fault, Cas." Dean said quickly. He hated upsetting him. "I'm just going to see what Sam and Bobby are up to. Don't you go anywhere!" Dean smiled.
"I wont." A weak smile formed on Cas' face as he placed his head on the pillow and closed his tired eyes.
