Ok at least this update didn't take months, only a month. Thank you, thank you, thank you to all who reviewed, added me to their favorites and follows I LOVE IT! The flu allowed me the opportunity to update so that is one perk to come out of this … that and getting to catch up on all my shows. I skipped some of my (less favorite) episodes and splitting on Head of a Pin up into two chapters.

As usual I do not own Supernatural or rather anything if I did my dog could go to the groomer more often. ;)

Chapter 7

Wanted

They had just come back from Pamela's burial. Dean had picked up Scarlett from Bobby who was watching her while Dean and Sam worked the last couple of cases. There was nothing like a funeral that made you cling to the family you had. Dean held a sleeping Scarlett in his arms as Sam opened the door to their motel room in Cheyenne.

Dean's heart dropped when he saw Uriel standing in the middle of the room. Seeing the brooding angel with Castiel sulking in the corner was never a good thing. Dean tightened his hold on Scarlett he wasn't letting her go.

"Dean Winchester you are needed." Dean shook his head vigorously shifting Scarlett to his side.

"No way, we just finished being needed." Dean looked down at Scarlett who stirred in her sleep. Dean lowered his voice as he fixed his stare on Uriel. "We just finished burying Pamela. You remember psychic Pamela Cas don't you?" What remained unsaid was left hovering between the angel and hunter. Castiel looked grief stricken, but couldn't say anything.

"We raised you out of Hell for our purpose." Uriel reminded Dean.

"And remind me what that purpose was again." Dean snapped.

"Dean…we know this is difficult to understand." Castiel finally began to speak.

"And we…" Uriel interrupted casting a cautioning look at Castiel. "Don't care." Castiel returned to his submissive stance this angered Dean.

"There are angels, from our own garrison, dying." Uriel stated, Dean scoffed and shifted Scarlett in his arms.

"A lot of people have been dying." Sam looked at Dean before he added.

"Finding a demon that can kill angels is a little out of our league." Sam was trying to placate both sides and find the logic in what Dean viewed as insanity. The only thing Dean wanted to do was watch cartoons with Scarlett and pretend even for a few hours that the world was not coming to an end.

"We already have Alistair." Castiel informed, Dean on instinct covered Scarlett's head recalling their last encounter with Alistair.

"Great he should be able to name your trigger man." Dean was at a loss for where this conversation was going.

"Yes, but he won't talk." Castiel added, the look he sent Dean made him hesitant.

"Yeah well he's a black belt in torture." Dean's comeback earned him a look from Uriel that made him feel like he was a piece of meat being stalked by a hungry lion.

"That's why we came to his student." Uriel smirked. Dean finally understood why they were here.

"No, no way you can't ask me to do this." Dean refused; Uriel leaned closer to Dean with a condescending smirk on his face.

"Who said anything about asking?" In the blink of an eye Dean, Scarlett, and the angels were gone leaving Sam alone. In the same instant Uriel had taken Scarlett from him.

"No!" Dean shouted, stirring Scarlett awake. She looked at her father and then up at Uriel and cried out for her dad. She started to squirm. Uriel tightened his grip and Scarlett yelped more in surprise then pain. Dean charged at Uriel who stepped back and held his hand out to stop Dean.

"Just a little incentive to ensure you do the job." Dean clenched his jaw and looked back at Castiel.

"You can't hurt her… you promised." Scarlett squirmed against Uriel's grip she tried to pinch him but the angel merely laughed at her attempts. Castiel glanced over at Uriel he wanted to pry the child out of Uriel's hands.

"No we won't hurt her." Castiel promised. Dean shut his eyes and turned to Uriel.

"All right I will do it, you're not going to like me afterwards, but release Scarlett or at least give her to Cas." The angel looked at Scarlett for a moment before handing her over to Castiel. Castiel accepted the child who grabbed him around the neck. Castiel soothed the child while blankly starring at Uriel.

"Can I talk to Cas alone for a few minutes?" Dean requested, Uriel and Castiel exchanged a look.

"I think I shall go seek revelation." Uriel informed with that he was gone. Dean looked back at Castiel who was still holding Scarlett.

"Why is Uriel now calling the shots?" Castiel looked down at Scarlett before answering.

"My superior are question my sympathies they believe I'm getting to close to my human charges…particularly you." His gaze met Dean's silence passed between the two before he continued. "My sympathies will open the door to emotion which leads to doubt." Castiel explained in his rational manner. Dean looked guilty; he was responsible for Castiel's demotion. Dean walked over to the door. Scarlett called for him again and Dean realized she was still awake he walked towards his daughter and kissed her on the forehead. He did not want her to witness him torturing Alistair.

"Cas can you…" Dean didn't have to finish the request Castiel understood he gently touched his fingers to Scarlett's forehead the child fell limp in his arms and he cradled her closer. Dean returned to stand by the door.

"You will protect her no matter what happens." Dean's request turned more into a demand, but Cas knew he was merely seeking reassurance.

"Yes." He simply answered.

"I go in there Cas, you're not going to like what comes out."

"For what it's worth I would give anything not to have you do this." Dean closed his eyes again on Castiel's words as he swallowed hard. Dean walked back over he placed another kiss on his daughter's head and ran his fingers through her hair.

Castiel watched as Dean collected his tools. He cradled Scarlett closer he would ensure that she wouldn't wake while Dean was in there with Alistair. Dean did not look back as Cas opened the door and watched as Dean pushed in the cart to Alistair's amusement. Castiel closed the door behind him and in a way on Dean himself.
