Chapter 7
I do not own Supernatural in any way.
A/N-I'm changing some stuff up. I really love Castiel in Jimmy's body, but instead of the trench coat being a Jimmy thing, I'm making it a Castiel thing.
Castiel and Uriel were in the park. Castiel stood while Uriel sat on the park bench. Castiel watched as the children skipped along in their Halloween costumes.
"Cas, check out my costume", she said. She came out in an angel costume, only she was dressed like Castiel with a trench coat and black wings. "I'm you", she said.
Castiel just looked at her and then back at Gabriel.
"She insisted", Gabriel said, "Who was I to say no to this cute face?"
Castiel shook his head.
When she turned 16, her costume changed.
This time it was skimpy, like most teenage costumes.
The dress was sheer white with fur around the bottom and the cuffs. It was styled to look like a nightdress.
On her feet was a pair of strappy white heels. On her back was a pair of fluffy white wings and on her head she wore a halo.
"Oh honey, if I wasn't your protector I'd totally do you", Gabriel said.
Celeste rolled her eyes and kissed him on the cheek.
"You look beautiful sweetheart", Gabriel said.
"Thank you Gabe", she said. She went down the stairs and met Castiel in the living room.
He looked at her.
"Well? What do you think?" she asked him.
Castiel said nothing.
"Okay whatever. Do you mind zapping us to the party?" she asked.
Castiel grabbed her arm and teleported them to the house where the party as being held. "I can't. This place…" he said.
"Yeah yeah I know. 'Bed of sin' and all. I promise not to drink. Pick me up at midnight", she said. She placed her hands on his chest and leaned up to place a kiss on the underside of his jaw. She turned around and Castiel couldn't help but notice how her hips swung as she walked away.
The next time Castiel popped in Dean, Dean was sitting in the same park watching the children play like himself and Gabriel used to do.
"Let me guess you're here for the 'I told you so'", Dean said.
"No", Castiel said.
"Well, good, cause I'm really not that interested", Dean said.
"I am not here to judge you, Dean", Castiel told him.
"Then why are you here?" Dean asked.
"Our orders…" Castiel started to say.
"Yeah, you know, I've had about enough of these orders of yours", Dean said cutting him off.
"Our orders were not to stop the summoning of Samhain, they were to do whatever you told us to do", Castiel told him.
"Your orders were to follow my orders?" Dean asked.
"It was a test, to see how you would perform under... battlefield conditions, you might say", Castiel explained.
"It was a witch, not the Tet Offensive", Dean said.
Castiel smiled.
"So I, uh, failed your test, huh? I get it. But you know what? If you would have waved that magic time-traveling wand of yours and we had to do it all over again, I'd make the same call. 'Cause see, I don't know what's gonna happen when these seals are broken, hell I don't even know what's gonna happen tomorrow. But what I do know is, that this, here? These kids, the swings, the trees, all of it is still here because of my brother and me", Dean said.
Castiel understood his way of thinking. Castiel thought the same way when it came to when he saved Celeste after the car crash. "You misunderstand me, Dean; I'm not like you think. I was praying that you would choose to save the town", Castiel said.
"You were?" Dean asked, surprised at what the angel said.
"These people, they're all my father's creations. They're works of art, and yet, even though you stopped Samhain, the seal was broken and we are one step closer to hell on earth, for all creation. Now that's not an expression, Dean, it's literal. You of all people should appreciate what that means. Can I tell you something if you promise not to tell another soul?" Castiel asked.
"Okay", Dean said.
"I'm not a… hammer as you say. I have questions, I have doubts. I don't know what is right and what is wrong anymore, whether you passed or failed here. But in the coming months you will have more decisions to make. I don't envy the weight that's on your shoulders, Dean. I truly don't", Castiel said.
The two shared a look.
Dean looked out of the kids.
When he looked back, Castiel was gone and Celeste sat in his place. "What are you doing here?" he asked.
"Felt like talking to you again. I feel so sad for Cas. He seems so broken", she said, "Him and Gabe used to watch me play on the playground".
"Who's Gabe?" Dean asked.
"Oh. Just another angel who was told to protect me", she explained.
"Protect you from what? Or who?" he asked.
"I haven't figured that out yet", she said.
"So what are you?" Dean asked.
"Aren't you a broken record?" Celeste commented.
"You can't answer a question with a question", Dean said.
Celeste smiled and snapped her fingers. She was gone.
Dean rubbed his hand down his face and thought, 'Can't my life be normal for once?'
