AN: So we've gotten a lot of rain the last couple days and there is now a pond in my backyard. Guess what my first thought was? 'Hey, there's a pond now. I can totally get my pet Call Duck now!' Yes I am easily amused and highly adamant about getting a pet duck. :P Onto the next chapter! Enjoy.

Groaning loudly, Dean returned to the land of consciousness. His head was killing him. He went to reach up to rub at his temple, but found his hands tied behind his back. Eyes snapping open, he looked around wildly.

He was sitting on a chair that was facing the panic room. The sound of crackling flames drew his attention behind him where he caught sight of Cas. The angel was standing in the middle of a ring of Holy Fire looking royally pissed off.

"Awww, look who woke up!" A creepily perky voice said as a small woman with long pigtails walked in front of Dean. He eyed her suspiciously before her eyes flashed black.

"Oh, well that figures." He ground out, willing the pounding in his head to stop. The demon came up and straddled his hips, pulling head back by his hair.

"Now Dean-O, where are your manners?" She cooed before grabbing his jaw and forcing a kiss on him. When she pulled away after a moment, he licked his lips trying to figure out why this demon seemed so familiar.

"Hm, tastes like peanut butter. You've got a thing for meatsuits who like that stuff, don't you Meg?"

Meg's smirk turned into a grin worthy of the Cheshire Cat.

"Very good Dean. It's been awhile, hasn't it?" She got off him and walked up to the flames entrapping Cas, "I'd give you a hello kiss too Clarence, but after what you did the last time we met like this…" She trailed off as she stalked over to the panic room door.

The door swung open to reveal Sam holding the Colt. He aimed it at Meg's head, who only started laughing. Sam hesitated, confused by the reaction.

"Go ahead and shoot me Sammy boy. Just know that if you kill me, my friend over there will kill Dean and the angel." She tilted her head in her captives'' direction. A male demon had appeared and was holding Cas' sword to Dean's throat, a thin line of blood already trailing down from a small nick. Eyes narrowing, Sam clicked the safety on and lowered the gun.

"What do you want Meg?" He growled in defeat.

"I just want to play with that adorable little duckie of Clarence's" She said, sounding like a four year-old who got jilted out of playing with the other kid's new toy.

"She isn't here." Cas growled, drawing the demon's attention to himself, "She's on a different Plane where you will never get to her."

Meg glared at him angrily for a moment before an evil smirk lit up her face. She nodded to the demon who was still holding the blade to Dean's neck. It removed the blade, reversed it, and brought it down onto his leg. With a pained shout, he clenched his eyes shut and instinctively curled into himself as best he could with his arms tied behind him. Sam was yelling threats from the panic room while Bobby struggled to keep him in the room. Cas nearly jumped out of the ring of fire before he got to the edge and felt it singe his Grace.

"You're gonna have to figure out a way to get her here then, otherwise Dean-O's gonna start reliving hell in real-life. And it's obvious you won't let that happen."

A loud puppy growl emanated from the panic room as Jensen tried to levitate out. Sam quickly grabbed him and held him tight to his chest. The platypus struggled to get loose, but Sam's big arms made it impossible for him to go anywhere.

"What this? Another familiar? Clarence, you were holding out on me, that's not very nice. Sammy, hand over nature's freak there or Deanie gets hurt." Meg threatened as she made her way to the panic room again. The demon next to Dean pulled the blade out of his leg slowly. Dean managed to bite back to pained groan that threatened to escape his lips. The demon then cut up the center of his shirt.

"Aw c'mon, I liked this shirt." He growled, the demon just glared at him before ripping the rest of the shirt off, "Whoa! Getting a little frisky aren't ya? You didn't even buy me dinner yet."

The rest of his sarcastic comments were cut short when the demon pressed the tip of the blade into his collarbone. Without even looking at Cas, he could feel the angel's concern and anger growing. :Huh, that's new. Since when can I feel Cas' emotions? At least I think they're Cas' emotions.: He thought the instant before the demon next to him was flying through the air. There was a clatter of hooves before he saw one of the oddest things he'd ever seen, and that's saying something, with his line of work.

Balthazar was sitting on Victor's back, his angel blade drawn and at the ready and a glass of scotch in the other. Victor was encased in strange, iridescent armor that didn't make any noise when he moved.

"Sorry we're late, took a bit longer to put the armor on than I remembered it taking." Balthazar explained, sliding off the llama's back.

"How did you not break his back?" Dean found himself asking as he stared.

"You're welcome for saving you." The blond angel said sarcastically, "He's an angelic familiar, you nitwit, that's how."

He quenched the flames surrounding Cas with a wave of his hand before turning his attention to the demons. A shot rang out and the male demon fell to the ground, dead. Before anyone could move to kill her, Meg smoked out.

"Pansy little bitch." Bobby muttered, lowering the Colt. Ha and Sam moved to help Dean, but Cas was already there. He untied his wrists before moving around to face him. Instead of placing two fingers on his forehead to heal as usual, Cas pressed his lips to Dean's. Bobby and Sam stood dumbstruck when Dean didn't fight it. In fact, they saw him lean into it and wrap his arms around the angel's shoulders. Balthazar huffed a laugh.

"And he didn't believe me when I told him Cassie was in love with him."

Sam and Bobby's eyes flashed to the blond angel before going back to Dean and Cas. Cas was helping Dean stand up. The hunter caught the other watching and shot them a glare.

"Like what you saw or what?" He grumbled, pulling the remains of his shirt off before crossing his arms over his bare chest. Cas was standing slightly behind him, so no one saw when he reached a hand forward and started trailing his fingers over the smooth skin of Dean's lower back. Try as he might, Dean couldn't stop himself from shivering at the touch. Sam cocked an eyebrow at his brother.

"It's cold down here. I'm going to go get a shirt." He said nonchalantly, leaving the basement.

"I shall go summon Gabriel and let him know it is safe to return with the familiars." Cas announced before vanishing.

The hunters and remaining angel stood in silence for a moment. Victor and Jensen hummed and growled next to them as they played.

"My brother is gay for an angel." Sam finally said calmly, not in disbelief but in surprise.

"Yeah, well it's about time they admitted it. I was getting sick of all the eye sex every time they were in a room together." Bobby muttered, "I need a drink, either of you two want something?"

"I'll take you up on that." Balthazar said, following the hunter out of the basement. Sam was left standing by himself, but not for long before Victor knocked him down and Jensen started bouncing on him.

IMMAPAGEBREAKHOWEXCITING!

Dean and Cas finally joined everyone in the living room an hour later. Sam was discussing something with Bobby while Balthazar sat in the corner sipping from his glass. Gabriel had showed up and was munching on a candy bar while using a laser pointed to entertain most of the familiars.

"What were you two up to?" He asked cheerily, waggling his eyebrows. Cas' face started to get red before he composed himself. Dean just smirked.

"I decided to take a shower n' stuff." He lied smoothly, finding an empty chair and sitting down.

"n' stuff is right." Gabe chuckled. Cas glared at him before moving to stand behind Dean. He bent down and picked Jensen up. Hilary was sitting on his head a moment later.

"So, uh, you and Cas huh?" Sam asked, in an attempt to start a conversation. To his surprise, Dean's cheeks actually tinted pink.

"Uh, yeah, I guess." He replied lamely, a small grin on his lips.

"Finally, he admits it." Sam laughed, earning a flabbergasted look from his big brother, "Oh come on, we all saw it coming. With all the eye sex and Freudian slips, how couldn't we? And then Cas all but admitted it with the whole 'profound bond' thing."

Dean continued to gape at Sam till Cas placed his hand on his shoulder. That seemed to bring him out of his shock. He smiled up at the angel before returning his attention to everyone else in the room.

"Yeah, well… Yeah."

"Smooth Dean, real smooth."

"Shut-up bitch."

"Jeeeeeeeeerk."

"Children!" Gabriel interrupted, holding his hands up, "Settle down, you can bash on each other later. In the meantime, we have a new problem. Actually, we have new problems. As in the plural kind. Anyways, I'll address the most foremost issue. Balthy here got a new familiar that he wasn't telling us about!"

The angel in question spewed liquor, "How the bloody hell did you find out about her?"

"Cause she's right here!" The Trickster shouted gleefully, a snap of his fingers had a deer-like creature bounding out of thin air. It walked straight up to Balthazar and nuzzled his cheek.

"What the hell is that thing?" Bobby asked, Sipping from his beer.

"This is exactly why I didn't want them knowing about her, Gabriel." Balthazar mumbled before addressing the rest of the room, "She's an Impala, a black Impala."

"No way!" Dean said in disbelief before cracking up in laughter, "Didn't realize you liked us THAT much Balthazar."

"I swear Winchester, I will make your life a living nightmare if you continue speaking."

"Boys! We still have another problem to discuss." Gabriel butted in, a huge grin on his face.

"What is it?" Castiel asked, his forehead crinkled with worry.

"Your new familiar bro."

"I do not have a new familiar." Cas said flatly.

"You're right, he's not 'new' per say. He's actually your first familiar if you think about it. The link has just been dormant since it was created. But seriously Cas, you're really clueless about all this bro."

"If I have another familiar, where is he then?"

"Right in front of you ya dork."

"Dean is the only one in front of me, Gabriel."

"Exactly."

There was silence in the room for several long moments. Dean was staring back and forth from Cas to Gabe, his eyes wide with confusion.

"Wait, what? Did you just imply that I'm a familiar? Cause that's what it sounded like to me." He rambled, Gabriel just continued to smile with that shit eating grin of his.

AN: What is this, I don't even… So me thinks one more chapter in this story, then we'll get into a new installment after that. Sound good?
