Little later than planned. But hey, I updated! AND SUPERNATURAL IS ON TONIGHT! Whoever gets to see it before me, I would like to say I hate you all. Sometimes I don't like living in the UK and other times, boy am I glad for the internet. And please tell me, did anybody else die inside when the new season 11 trailer came out? I've watched too many times to be considered 'healthy behaviour' and every time I regret it... I mean what happens to Cas and Lucifer and... **** that and **** everything... I swear Supernatural is going to be the death of me. I'd say I'd die of the feels but I know they died with Harry Potter... Keep Grinding...

I guess I'll just let you read on. Review, follow and favourite please. Please...

They leaned their foreheads against each other's. "We are one now Dean... Forever..."

Dean had never felt more powerful, more peaceful, more alive than how he felt right there and then. He held onto Amara tightly, reeling in the bliss that the bond brought them. He suddenly felt everything that she has ever been. He felt the love for her brother, the betrayal when he locked her away, the emptiness, the nothing she felt while locked up, that breath of freedom when Dean released her, her amazement at her brother's creation, the hatred and mistrust of God and the intense intimacy of bond that Dean and Amara share.

He heard her. She did not move her lips, he knew that, he was staring at her face deeply. In his mind, Dean heard 'Go. Save your brother.' Before the bond was strengthened, he would've freaked out at the voices in his head. But now, he found it calming. He kissed her forehead as Amara disappeared.

The way Dean felt, he could have communicated with Castiel through any means possible to him, but even he knew that he needed to break the news about his and Amara's bond to Sammy and Cas gently. And best once Sam was safely out of Lucifer's hands. He called Castiel back, Cas explained that he was about an hour's drive away from the bunker. Dean lied and said he was driving to him. Dean told Cas to meet in a town halfway where they could talk more.

Dean knew that the drive would take to long and the power he felt surge within him made Dean curious of what he could now do. He closed his eyes and pictured him and the car in the town in which he told Cas to meet him. He opened his eyes to find himself in an empty car park. He knew he was going to have to wait another half hour until Cas showed up but that gave him time as to how he would get him and Cas into hell and him, Cas and Sam out of hell intact and without giving away that he is now different.

He soon came up with a plan that semi-foolproof but then again it's not like he's dealing with idiots. He'll be dealing with an Angel and his brother who know him better than anyone, the King of Hell who could maybe tell that there's something different with him, a nosy power-hungry witch and Satan. And he felt for sure that Satan would be able to notice the difference in power.

Cas parked right next to him and had a look of confusion on his face.

"How did you get here before me? I thought I was closer?"

"Yeah but, my baby's faster." Dean smiled patting the hood.

"So what are we doing here?"

Dean continued to spin his new web of lies. "I spoke to Crowley. He said there was a portal to Hell in this town. And that we could ride it to the other side and meet him there. Then we'll have to plan the next step."

"Did he say where this portal is?" Cas questioned.

"No. It's not his. But it will open up when we get close."

"Why?"

"Because it's sensitive to demons, angels and apparently," Dean gestured to himself, "ex demons."

"Very well then. Let's start looking."

"Shall we split up?" Dean suggested. "Call if you find something."

They then parted. Dean went left and Cas went right. Dean's direction went towards the nearest bar and shops. Cas was heading towards the streets and back alleys before nearing the houses.

Dean stopped walking when he reached the corner of the bar, when he knew Cas wasn't looking. He closed his eyes and felt the knowledge and the power surge through him again. He knew he would never be able to grow tired of this sensational feeling. It made him question why he hadn't agreed to letting Amara bond them earlier. Then he thought of Sammy and how he had been moments away from killing him. All because he didn't want to unleash The Darkness upon the world. But there was nothing terrifying or oppressive about her. Nothing evil. Death had been wrong. He must have been tricked into believing so by God's lies. Dean was glad for a moment that he had killed Death. Even if there would be repercussions later, and that was something he was sure of.

He opened his eyes when he pictured the portal coming out where Cas stood and immediately his cellphone rang.

"Dean, I found it." He let Cas tell him where it is despite already knowing. He even knew exactly where in Hell it would drop them off, how far from the cage it would be, how close to Crowley they would land and how long it will take it them to get down there. Dean knew everything and he revelled in it.

"Well. Never thought I'd willingly go back down to hell." Dean said staring at the fiery portal. "But hey, seems right going there with you." He said patting Cas' back.

Cas frowned. "Why? Because I can protect you from your worse nightmares?"

"No." Dean replied taken aback. He shook his head and grinned slightly. "It's the place we first met."

"I know. I remember raising you. It was a struggle."

"I didn't want to leave. I was nearly demonised I know."

"You remember?" Cas asked worried about Dean's mind state if he remembered so much about all the evil that has happened to him.

"Yeah. I remember everything now." Dean nodded. "It's all crystal clear."

"For how long?"

"It feels like a long time." All his memories, even the times in heaven and hell that had been repressed had come back when the bond was strengthened. Dean remembered everything.

"Was it because of the mark?" Cas questioned. Delicately stepping around what he presumed to be Dean's fragile mind-state. Well, his brother was in Hell. With Lucifer. They are still no closer to beating the Darkness. He is still getting over the effects of the Mark. He seemed to be keeping something to himself. It seemed like everything was piling on top of him. Sam and him worried how long it would take if he broke underneath it all.

"Probably." Dean sighed and stared back at the portal to Hell. "Enough of the sharing and caring. Let's do this."

He planned to step through gingerly but he was pulled in the moment he stepped close to it. He felt Cas not far behind him. They managed to land on both feet before taking in the surroundings of where they were. Dean recognised this part of Hell. They were not that far from where he stayed for the first few decades. Until he began to torture. In which there was a special place in hell where that had taken place. It has not been touched since. Castiel looked around and remembered the struggle and the fight that ensued whilst trying to raise Dean. It had taken years and years. And they were still too late. In hindsight and now knowing the Angels' plans to allow the Apocalypse to take place, he could see how the fight had been delayed. The Angels that fought often rested and waited too long. They missed opportunities to get Dean out early but he had not yet spilled blood in Hell. He couldn't be Michael's vessel until then. Cas would never tell Dean this, but he often pondered about Dean being 'the Righteous Man' and has always admired Dean's stubbornness against letting fate be. Dean was the one who taught him about free will and now Cas preaches it to other Angels. He used to miss the neatness before the Apocalypse. He was content being so self-assured but now he was proud of the man he had become. He just hoped that his brothers and sisters could one day see that. And if he were ever to cross paths with his father, he prayed he would be proud of him also.
