So this chapter will be split the will be POV.
Dean's POV
All of the demons in the room bowed, not Dean. He just smiled. "Dean Winchester. We've missed you so much in hell." Lucifer said smiling. "Let's just get down to business shall we?" Lucifer nodded. "I've always liked the way you think. I want you to be my right hand man Dean. You did break the first and last seal after all." Dean looked around. "So they all have to do what I say?" He asked. Lucifer nodded again. Dean walked over to a demon and handed him the blade. Smiling he said, "Kill yourself." The demon looked around, then to Lucifer who was smiling. The demon took the blade and stabbed himself. When he fell to the floor, Dean grabbed the blade. He looked at Lucifer. "I think I'm gonna like it here."
Castiel's POV
"Are you sure about this?" He asked. Sam shrugged. "It's the only shot we have right now. If it works, we find Dean before he destroys the planet." Cas looked at him. "Not just him. He rose Lucifer a few hours ago."
"Why didn't you say anything?"
"You didn't ask."
"Cas, that's info that should be shared whether it's asked for or not."
Cas grabbed the needle off the table and walked over to the demon. "Now you know." He shoved the needle into the demon's arm and injected the first dose of human blood. The demon grunted. "So if this works, how do we find Dean?" Sam asked. Cas turned around, getting another injection ready as he spoke. "Most likely we find a crossroads demon. Worst case, follow signs of him. He's going to leave a trail of blood." Sam nodded slowly. "So you and Dean…?" Cas rolled his eyes. "Most likely the bond we share amplified our feelings for each other. I don't really understand it myself. Now can we focus on the task at hand?" Sam got more needles together and pulled more bags of blood out of the biohazard container. "What was Dean like when he was in hell? You said that he was almost a demon." Cas stuck the demon again and looked at Sam. "When I found him he was holding on to his last shred of humanity. He liked the torturing but knew it was wrong. He even fought with me. He knew I was trying to help, he said he wanted help but he still fought me. He couldn't really help it. Even as we fought his eyes…" He broke off. Sam gave the next dose to the demon. Cas cleared his throat and continued. "His eyes were practically begging me to save him. Demons were fighting to keep Dean and we were fighting to get him back. When I saw my opportunity to get him out I took it. After I pulled him out I had to return to heaven to recuperate but I still watched over him. Tried talking to him but all he heard was a really loud ringing, and glass would shatter around him. So I had to find a vessel. I asked this vessel to prove his loyalty to heaven and he did. He even prayed to become my vessel. I've been watching Dean for a long time Sam. I still haven't done my job right. I've never saved him completely, I need to save him Sam. For both our sake. I've never done everything I was told. As you humans say I 'half-assed it'. I never carried out my orders as I was supposed to. The arch angels made me Dean's guardian angel to teach me a lesson." He finished half laughing, but his laugh held no humor.
Dean's POV
Stuck as a crossroads demon because Lucifer needed souls. He shook his head. So far he had people who wanted a few extra inches below the belt, a bigger…chest, love, money, success, almost any stupid reason in the world. Right now he was talking to a teenager who wanted to his girlfriend to die because she cheated on him. "You're joking right? Why don't you ask for something less stupid kid. Like money, or fame at least. Then you can enjoy it for a little while. Plus it will make her want to back, but I suggest you just move on. She will just be in it for the money. You can at least be a little smarter about this." He said laughing. The kid nodded. "Yeah…I want to be famous and rub it in her face." He said. Dean took a few steps closer. "Wait, we really have to kiss?" The kid asked.
"Wouldn't be your first time kid. Didn't you get drunk and make out with your friend a few weeks ago? So who cheated on who?" Dean smiled. The kid's face turned red. "Fine, just hurry up." He said. Dean really hated this part. He had a few travel size bottles of mouthwash in his pocket. He hurried up and sealed the deal. "Enjoy your fame for the next ten years kid. Now beat it." The kid ran off. Dean pulled one of the bottles out of his pocket and rinsed his mouth out. When he spit it out he said "That better be the last time I do that or I'll kill the next person." Naturally none of the people had ten years to enjoy whatever they asked for. More like a day. "Nice work Dean. You're my top salesmen." Dean turned around. "I better get to something better than this."
"Of course Dean. Now you get to collect the souls that made deals ten years ago. Starting now." There was a flash of light and Dean found himself in suburbia. He already knew who he had to kill, and his target was walking down the street. "Don Fisher?" Dean asked. The guy stopped. "Yeah…why?" Dean pulled out his knife.
"Time's up buddy"
"What do you mean?"
"The deal you made genius." Dean stabbed him in the stomach and walked away.
Castiel's POV
"It works." Sam said. The demon they had captured had turned human again. Sam smiled and patted Cas on the back. "It still may not work on Dean." He said. Sam looked at him. "We still have to try Cas." Cas nodded. "I'll go get some more blood. You go find Dean." Cas vanished.
Dean's POV
After collecting the souls as fast as he could, Lucifer gave Dean yet another job: Kill Castiel. Dean smiled at the order and gladly accepted. He was driving down the road. He knew where Cas would be. He would still be at Bobby's. While he was at it, he might as well kill Sam and Bobby. That way no one could stop Lucifer. He was already about half way there. His head had been hurting for about an hour. "Oh stop. You can't overpower me Dean." He looked in the rearview mirror. The human Dean had his jaw clenched. "You son of a bitch. I'll find a way to take over. Even if I have to use the knife and kill myself." The demon laughed. "A few days ago you were begging me to take over. Just so you didn't have to deal with that whiney angel and brother of yours…I mean ours. I am you after all Dean. Just the part you left behind. But I found you. I'm surprised you even fought it. You did like torturing after all."
"Cas will find us."
"Good, then I won't have to look for him."
"He'll kill you."
"Then he kills you too."
"I deserve more for what I did to him."
"Aww, don't worry. I'll end your boyfriend's life first. And you get to watch. Then I'll kill your brother and the drunk." He sped up. "That's enough from you." He pushed Dean down easily. He drove for awhile in silence. "Dean." He didn't even look over. He smiled. "Well, well. Castiel. You know, you're making this to easy for me." Cas stared straight out the windshield. "Not from where I'm sitting." He said. Dean laughed. "Really now? You do have a sense of humor. Very funny." Cas buckled his seatbelt. "Then you're about to think I'm hilarious." He said.
"What are you talking about?"
Dean, if you can hear me…I'm sorry."
Cas grabbed the wheel and pulled hard. The car did a 360 then flipped a few times before rolling off a bridge in to a shallow river.
Castiel's POV
Cas came to first. The car was upside down and filling with water. The river was about five feet deep and surrounded the windows. Cas didn't know if he could zap back to Bobby's with Dean. He was hurt badly. He looked over at Dean who wasn't moving but still breathing. He unbuckled and grabbed Dean. "Please don't kill me for this." He said. He kicked the passenger window until it broke. Water rushed in. He held Dean up so he could breath until he could get them out. Only a foot left. He covered Dean's nose and mouth as best he could, held his breath, and got out as fast as he could. He stood up, just barely taller than the water. He held Dean up and got to the riverbank. Laying Dean down he check for breathing and sighed in relief. He went back into the river, held his breath and went under. Going back in the car, he searched for the keys. Knowing when Dean was back to normal, he would have yelled at him to at least grab them. When he got back to the riverbank, Dean was still lying there. He picked him up, putting one arm over his shoulders, and climbed up to the road. He looked both ways then headed for Bobby's.
They were still soaking wet when he opened the front door. Sam and Bobby came running. Sam grabbed Dean, Bobby grabbed Cas. "What the hell happened?" Bobby asked. He set him down on the couch while Sam took Dean to the basement. "I wrecked his car. It's a few miles away in a river." Sam came back up and Cas handed him the keys. "Wait…you wrecked it?" Cas nodded. "I grabbed the wheel. It spun around then flipped a few times, then went off a bridge into the river. I could use my power to get back because I was injured so I kicked out a window and got us out." He explained. Sam and Bobby looked at each other then back to Cas. "Dean's gonna kill you." Sam laughed.
"I know. But that isn't important right now. We have to get Dean back to normal before Lucifer realizes." He said standing. He swayed a little but caught his balance. "Are you sure you're up for it?" Sam asked. Cas just looked at him. "Okay, everything is ready. He should be awake any minute. I have him tied down." Cas flashed a smile. "Shut up." Bobby left to get the car and they walked down to the basement. Dean was already yelling for them to let him out. Sam opened the door. "Sammy, thank God. You gotta let me out man." Sam ignored him. He looked back at Cas. He nodded. Sam set the biohazard box down on the table along with some needles. "What the hell is that for?"
"Were going to inject you with human blood." He went silent for a moment. "What the hell is that gonna do?" Sam turned around, needle in hand. "It's gonna bring Dean back." He stabbed the needle in Dean's arm and injected the blood. A few seconds passed then Dean started yelling and growling in pain. Cas and Sam looked at each other then back to Dean. He grunted then took rapid shallow breaths. Cas got another dose ready. "He's not gonna come back. He gave up. He doesn't want to come back. Says he's tired of having to die for you guys. Tired of having to save you-" Cas stabbed him with the needle, again Dean yelled and growled. They did this a few more times before Sam pulled Cas out of the room. "What if we're killing him Cas?" He looked from Dean to Sam. "He would rather die than be a demon."
Dean went quiet. They both looked at him. He wasn't moving and his eyes were closed. "Dean?" No response. They rushed in the room. Sam shook him. "Dean! Hey! Come on stay with us!" Dean opened his eyes and looked at Sam. They both sighed in relief. "Sam…" He sounded weak. "It's not gone. You have to do it again." He said. Sam and Cas looked at him. "You serious?" Dean managed a nod. Sam quickly got another needled ready. Dean took shallow rapid breaths. "Ugh, I hate needles." He said. Sam walked over and crouched down. "Get ready Dean." He held his breath and Sam stuck him with the needle. Dean grunted and breathed rapidly again. His eyes turned black and he yelled and growled once more, shaking violently. Sam and Cas took a few steps back. Dean grunted. His eyes faded back to normal then went still. "Dean?" They took a few steps closer. His eyes shot open and he gasp like he just came up from underwater. He grunted again and looked at them. "Holy crap that sucked!" The uncuffed him and he sat up slowly. "Never let me go to hell again." He said half smiling. Sam laughed. "Yeah, no kidding." He stood up. "How did you get me here anyway?" He looked at them. "You don't remember?" Dean shook his head. Cas cleared his throat. "There's something I need to show you." He said. Sam patted Cas on the back and smiled. "looks like Bobby just came back too. Good luck." Dean looked at him. "Where did Bobby go?" Then looked at Cas. "Good luck with what?" Cas looked really nervous. "Just follow me."
"Cas…what did you do?" He followed Cas outside. There, on the back of Bobby's tow truck, was the Impala. Totaled. Dean slowly walked past Cas. "Cas, what the hell happened to my car!" He turned to face him. Sam and Bobby were trying not to laugh. "I, uh, may have wrecked it." Dean flexed his jaw. "I grabbed the wheel and turned it. It spun around and flipped a few times then landed in a river." Dean closed his eyes. "I got us to safety." Dean turned his head away. "I grabbed the keys. " Dean looked at him. "You grabbed the…you wrecked my friggin car Cas!" He turned around and looked at the Impala. "This is going to take weeks to fix."
"I'm sorry Dean." Dean turned around. Cas half expected Dean to punch him in the face. He sighed. "You did what you had to do Cas." He walked over to him and hugged him. "I'm just glad you're okay." Sam and Bobby saw that as their cue to leave them alone. Cas hugged him back. "And I'm glad you're okay too Dean." He pushed away and looked into Cas's eyes. "I am so sorry for what I put you through." Cas looked at him. "It wasn't you Dean." Dean's laugh held no humor. "Yes it was. I could have killed all of you. I was helping Lucifer for crying-out-loud. I killed innocent people Cas. I can't take that back. I had to watch everything in my head. I could feel their bones breaking, hear their gasps for air as I slit their throats! It was worse than hell…" Cas put a hand on Dean's face, wiping away his tears with the other. "It's okay. It's over now." Dean grabbed Cas's hand and buried his face in the angel's shoulder. "I'm sorry." He said through broken sobs. Cas put his other hand on the back of Dean's head. Dean straightened after a moment and used his sleeve to dry his face. He cupped Cas's face and moved closer, searching for words. Cas smiled. "I know." And kissed him.
