I've been reading that end of season 8 says there are no more angels...if your curious in this something reversed that...


Chapter 4

"Do you know what the worst part of flying is?" Dean complained as they walked from the airport. "Not the fact that planes crash, but the fact we land without weapons! If something attacked us we'd be useless!"

"We're on land now get over it Dean. Come on, I have an idea where she'll be," Cas told them as he called a taxi to take them to the location of the old temple of Jerusalem.

Cas was right, they could see the pale outline of Charlie's brown hair blowing in the wind as she held her knees curled up arms around them. She sat on the floor as tourists went around taking pictures of the holy ground.

"I always found it weird that holy water hurt me, but not consecrated ground." Charlotte's voice floated behind her without her even turning around to see Cas and the Winchesters.

"You're a prophet of the Lord, Holy Ground wouldn't hurt you if you were a full demon. It's practically your home," Cas told her reverently clearly harboring respect for the prophet despite her dangerous nature.

"Walk with me," Charlie told them standing and walking from the Temple sight into the busy Israeli city. Unsure what else to do the others followed behind her as she led them up to the top of one of Jerusalem's many hills in silence. Upon arrival Charlie sat on the green grass looking peaceful, and fully healed from her salt and holy water encounter. "Raguel, the archangel, healed me of my wounds. He was unable to reach me in the hospital because someone warded my door from angels. Even I wouldn't have been able to walk out of it. Luckily, I don't need to walk."

"Why did you come here? There are plenty of holy places in the US. Why jump across seas into a war zone?" Dean asked standing cautiously away from the girl whom he didn't trust a lick.

"I can speak to the Father, but I can not make him speak back to me. I hadn't heard from him since I was injected with demon blood. I didn't even think I could still talk to him, that I was still a Prophet until the archangels killed my mom when she rightfully attacked me for being a demon. I thought I'd go and find him."

"Wait, God is here? In Jerusalem?" Cas asked quickly unable to believe the girls words. He'd known he'd taken human form on earth and was giving his angels the free will they'd lacked when he was in Heaven, but he never imagined he'd be in Jerusalem of all places.

Charlie nodded, "Yes, He's how I knew you were coming. He left just as you arrived. He told me to give this back to you and to tell you there is a reason he keeps bringing Castiel back so quit your moaning about being an unloved child." Charlie unfolded her hand and Dean saw the little pendent he dropped in a motel trash bin years before when Cas' search for God turned up with nothing. He'd been so angry at God for leaving them that he didn't want the charm as a reminder of him, but Dean was glad to have it back. Sam gave it to him, and Bobby gave it to Sam. With Bobby gone it was good to have the little necklace as a reminder of the good times, even if it also reminded him of the bad.

Cas seemed frightened to find that it was in fact God who'd brought him back all three times he'd died. God wanted him alive he was God's gift to the Winchesters, and as glad as he was to be alive and with his friends, he also didn't like the idea that God cared what happened to him when he didn't seem to care about what happened to the world.

"Charlie, you're not planning on opening the Cage right. You can't imagine what it's like in there. It's Hell in Hell," Sam prompted the real discussion.

"Then why did you throw my dad in there?" Charlie asked flinging Sam to the side in anger. Dean jumped forward to attack her, but Cas stopped him before Charlie could hurt him too.

"We didn't put Michael in the Cage. He fell in after Lucifer," Dean protested.

"Only because you were a selfish d*ck and wouldn't s*ck it up and face your responsibilities as a vessel! Adam wasn't powerful enough to stop Lucifer, Michael wasn't powerful enough to stop Lucifer in Adam!"

"It doesn't matter what happens. I'd love it for Adam to be freed from the cage and Michael, d*ck as he is doesn't deserve to be stuck down there either, but opening the cage will just mean Lucifer is free again and then it will all be for nothing. Do you want the world to end?" Sam pleaded crawling back up the hill.

"You're so stupid. Michael and Lucifer aren't in the same cage. When they fell Sam and Lucifer slit apart and ended in one cage and Adam and Michael in another. They can be free and Lucifer would still be trapped. Of course I don't want the world to end!"

"Is that even possible?" Dean asked Cas thinking about his half-brother and the possibility of saving him from the torment Dean brought on.

"Maybe, " Cas mumbled, "Who told you that?"

"A white eyed demon," Charlie answered quietly like she wanted to believe that what the demon told her was true, but knew deep inside that the chances of a demon telling the truth as as high as the chance of winning the lottery without playing.

"And you thought you could believe them?" Dean scoffed, "They're demons they lie for a living. All they want is for you to free Lucifer so he can overthrow Crowley and his guys."

"Of course they weren't lying!" Charlotte defended and Dean thought he caught a hint of the white eyes of a demon replacing Charlie's blue ones for a second. "I'm going to free Michael from Hell and then let Vassago out to beat Crowley and put Hell back into rights. And if you try to stop me so help me God you will regret it."

And with the looming threat Charlie disappeared leaving the Winchesters and Cas to face the coming trouble.
