It was the next day as Sam was on his lab top in the main room, researching any new cases they could do since they were bored as hell! And that was saying something since hell was extremely boring…not really a place people want to go for any excitement or thrill. Besides they needed to continue Charlie's training if they wanted her to be able to hold her own in a case. Dean appeared in the room, wings folded tightly against his back; the black wings waving slightly with each step. Castiel was beside him, and shocking Sam with his white wings that had an ashy-black color to them, obviously his wings had been burned.
"Hey Dean, hey Cas. …I see you let your wings show." Sam said as he stopped his typing, looking at the two of them.
"Shut up Sam." Was Castiel's simple reply, and Sam just gave a chuckle before going back to the computer.
The day was long and boring, even with Charlie running back and forth with stuff for training and the constant teasing of Dean about his wings. Suddenly something popped up on Sam's computer, and he looked at it in annoyance, before a smile overcame his face.
"Guys! Guys! I found something!" Sam shouted and the next moment everyone was crowded around him.
"What is it Sam?" Dean asked, looking at the screen.
"So get this: Over in Greenville, Mississippi has been an unusual case of missing people, all ranging from young adults to elderly. None of the bodies have been found, but it appears the people disappear after speaking to a small group of young women but they can never get confirmation on the girls." Sam said, thinking it might be a case.
"Sounds like something that we should check up on; though it does sound familiar." Dean said moving away to go to the fridge.
"What was it you all spoke of that was similar? Vetala?" Charlie asked, looking at Sam quizzically.
"Yeah, seems like it, they do hunt in groups. Sounds like their MO, so maybe; but we'll only know once we get there." Sam commented, before he gathered his things and they group disbanded to gather their things as well for the trip ahead.
3 Days Later: They had gotten to Greenville, Mississippi in just a few days, and as evening rolled in on Day 3; they were signed in one of the better motels they could find that was still slightly cheaper than they thought.
"So, you all usually sleep in these motels?" Charlie asked as she took one of the smaller beds.
"Yep, pretty much." Dean said as he took the bed that was separated on a other side of sliding glass doors.
"So, since we got here how about we take a look around town? Grab a bite to eat, check some market places, see if we can dig anything up." Sam said, and Charlie jumped up happily.
"Sure, I'm all for it. Pretty hungry as it is actually." Charlie piped, and Sam laughed.
"Let's split up in town, one group takes downtown; the other group takes uptown?" Dean questioned, and threw him a look.
That was probably an excuse for Dean to be alone with Castiel, but Sam understood. The two were dating, they were mated…as of last night as Sam so 'wonderfully' found out, so they had a right to be together 24/7…even if it did annoy Sam he couldn't spend as much time with his brother as he used to.
"Alright, me and Charlie will take south, you and Cas taking north?" Sam asked Dean, who gave a nod and smirk.
"Alright, call if you find out anything." Sam said and with a nod from Dean, Sam and Charlie were out the door.
"Well, shall we go?" Dean asked Castiel who smirked, and nodded as the two left as well, getting in the impala.
Later: Dean sighed and banged his head against the bar, bored beyond reason once again! They had found absolutely nothing about the Vetala, and he called Sam who had the same bad luck. It appeared they wouldn't be getting anywhere for quite some time; but they tried to deal with it. Castiel sat beside Dean, a protective glint in his eyes as he made sure that Dean had the giant black wings completely covered. Dean had mastered the ability over the 3 days to Mississippi due to Castiel's guidance and Sam's research as well as odd comments from Charlie. While Castiel did most of the talking, and doing excellent in Dean's opinion, Dan focused mainly on keeping the spell he chanted going.
"This is so stupid, when are we gonna get a breakthrough." Dean grumbled out, before he saw Castiel shift a bit.
"You okay Cas?" Dean asked his angel, seeing the angel tense.
"We are being watched." Castiel said, his shoulder hunched up and tense, ready for even the slight sign of a possible attack.
"By who?" Dean asked, feeling his wings tense up even if they were invisible.
"Other side of the bar, left edge, male and female; their eyes are trained on us. Or rather they are trained on you, they must see your wings." Castiel explained, and Dean looked at him shocked.
"You mean even if their invisible?" Dean asked, slightly afraid.
"Well, not really your wings, but your soul that shows the traces of the wings sprouting from within." Castiel explained, taking another swig from his beer.
"Dude, this ain't good. If they can tell I have wings, who knows what might happen. Aren't wings sensitive?" Dean questioned, and a nod from Castiel answered him.
"Yes…they are. I believe they are wondering either why you have wings, the best way to strip of your wings, or how to take advantage of the situation." Castiel stated, and Dean squirmed at the response.
"Should we call Sam and leave?" Dean questioned Castiel, keeping his eyes on the table.
"That would be wise, I believe they will not attack if they see others join us." Castiel said, and Dean nodded pulling his phone out.
"Dean?" a voice on the other line after one ring questioned.
"Sammy?" Dean asked, ignoring the groan that came from his brother.
"What is it? Any information on the Vetala?" Sam asked, and Dean faintly heard the singing of Charlie in the background.
"No, not yet…but we have a bigger problem to worry about." Dean said, taking a glance around the bar.
"Demon's?" Came Sam's worried tone, and Dean sighed.
"Not really, thank god, but it still isn't good. Angels." Dean whispered, and he heard the music shut off.
"ANGEL'S! Shit Dean, get out of there; they could see your wings even with the spell." He heard Sam panic and heard the wrenching of a car door, they must've jacked one for easier transportation.
"Too late, Cas already informed me that they can tell I have wings through my soul. Seeing as they were looking at my soul rather than my physical body, he said they noticed how I have wings." Dean whispered, looking at Castiel to see the angel had a hand on the angel blade.
"Alright, me and Charlie are on our way. Don't leave the bar, we'll be there as soon as possible." Sam replied and Dean confirmed before they hung up.
"Sam and Charlie are on their way, they told us to stay put." Dean said, and Castiel gave a small nod, still tense.
"Cas, try to relax okay man? Being tense might give the wrong guy the wrong idea, and we would get in a fight." Dean stated, looking around seeing that some people were giving them a suspicious look.
"Sorry Dean…I am just rather worried about the two angel's over there. I believe the moment you grew wings, we might've alerted to many other angel's that there is a potential mate around." Castiel stated worriedly, and Dean gave him a confused look.
"You mean Angels can tell when other Angels are born?" Dean asked, and Castiel nodded.
"Yes, in a way. Though the fact that there is no grace within you will still be prized by many as a potential, even possibly forever, mate. It won't matter that I have your scent, and you bear mine; they will still come after you. Your wings will attract many angels to try and claim you." Castiel explained and Dean felt something wrap around his wing, and he rose a brow, amused, at Castiel.
"Possessive much?" Dean questioned, feeling a possessive wave from Castiel, who narrowed his eyes at the angel's.
"I'm allowed to be possessive, I am not letting anyone take you away from me." Castiel growled out, looking back at Dean lovingly.
"Cas man, you don't gotta worry." Dean said, scooting closer to Castiel and intertwining one hand with one of Castiel's; who smiled at the affectionate gesture.
Looking at the bar counter, they saw the eyes of the two angels narrow; one gold and the other green as they watched them interact.
"One of those angel's is Sarahi; a seraph, she's known to attack other angels to get what she wants. She appears to be the female host as well, not surprising seeing as she preferred female hosts to begin with. I wonder why she's around here, she tends to avoid large places." Castiel commented, seeing the gold-eyed female.
She had long black hair to her waist, slightly pale complexion with freckles lining her face, shoulders and arms; and was that a complete leather outfit she was wearing? Beside her, the green eyed male full on glared at the two, his green eyes showing nothing but hostility. He was tanned, with short brown hair, a scruffy mustache and beard; and he also wore a leather outfit; it seemed to Dean and Castiel the two were matching, must've been a couple they asked to be in possession of.
"They seem to be working something out, my belief is they intend to harm me and capture you." Castiel said, and gripped Dean's waist.
"Why me? What value am I to angels?" Dean asked Castiel, wrapping his arm around Castiel's shoulders.
"Dean; it is unheard of for a mortal to grow wings without grace, or without an angel's possession. The fact that you have wings without grace is proof to many that you are to be highly valued, they will all battle to the death for you; but some might try to kill you. Some believe it to be a sign of the angel's 'pure' lineage being tainted, but I won't let an single angel harm a feather on you." Castiel said, a slight smirk on the end due to believing he got a good pun in.
"Harrharr Cas, funny." Dean teased and kissed his cheek, and Castiel smiled.
Suddenly two others were sitting at the table and Dean saw it was Charlie and Sam, Sam sighed as he fixed his coat and looked around cautiously, before waving a waiter over.
"So, what's up?" Charlie asked, bringing a book with notes out.
"Counter, left end; a leather wearing couple, gold and green eyes, they've been watching us the moment we walked in." Dean explained as the waiter came over asking what they wished to drink.
"And how do you know their angel's?" Sam asked after ordering his drink as the waiter left.
"I can feel their grace Sam, they are angel's…and they are exhibiting threatening pulses. They see Dean as a potential candidate and me as a threat." Castiel explained as he finished his drink.
"A candidate? A threat? What do you mean?" Charlie asked, curiosity in her eyes.
"They see Dean as a potential mate, and me as a threat because I stand between them and Dean. As Dean doesn't have grace, he will be highly valued by angels as they know they can force their grace upon Dean to keep him tied to them. Angels will want Dean the moment they lay eyes on him, and it's not just because of his soul and physical appearance. Wings are as lovely as the soul, and sometimes more valued among angels as it can show emotions more than the soul can and they grow stronger faster than the soul can sometimes keep up." Castiel explained, before he went silent as the waiter returned.
After they got their drinks they talked more about their current case, keeping in mind the burning pair of eyes from the angels on them. Castiel was growing more worried and tense by the second, the angel's eyes weren't relenting and Castiel could tell Dan was struggling with keeping his wings hidden. Castiel could see the wings physically flickering between visibility and hidden.
"We must leave now." Castiel suddenly stated, startling Sam and the others.
"Why?" Sam asked, and Castiel glared at him.
"A certain someone is struggling with keeping their wings hidden. The moment we get to the motel, the faster we can help Dean with the wings." Castiel explained, and the two nodded.
"Me and Charlie will take the impala back to the motel, in the meantime you two should go outside and zap back to the motel, it'll be easier." Sam explained as they all stood and grabbed their things.
"Alright, thank you Sam." Castiel said and Sam nodded as they headed outside.
Once they were outside, Castiel and Dean zapped off, while Charlie and Sam got in the impala; all four unaware an angel watched them leave as they followed.
Okay, so here we have finally introduced Angel's into the mix, everyone clap! Also, they seem immensely jealous at the fact that Castiel is with Dean...at least Sarahi is. Also, any character's mentioned are not OC's as I am just making up names to introduce character's to make a story. (I do have an OC but she is extremely Mary-sue...and the name I have for her is already taken.) Anyways we also have Possessive!Cas and I think it's pretty freaking adorable to see Castiel get all possessive over Dean; even though he's not really the Dominate one in the relationship, it kind of switches back and forth between them in my opinion. Well, hope ya'll like it so far, still more coming!
