"What do you mean Wonderland?" Dean asks, closing the books on his desk. "You mean that place where all kind of random crap gets brought to life and the Evil Queen bitch cuts off everyone's heads?"

"I am not just some piece of random crap," Baby says, insulted as he closes the book he was working on.

"Just shut up," Dean says.

"Wha – Dean, I'm trying to tell you about," Sam gets cut off by Dean.

Dean shakes his head. "No, not you – I'm talking to Baby here."

"That's just – okay, we need to fix this. How do we fix this?" Sam asks as he walks through the door, closing his phone as his angels trail behind him.

"In the classic tale," Bela begins as she walks down the stairs, having overheard the conversation. "The queen only began her tyrannical reign after the King had died and left his place on the throne. Which means, unfortunately-"

"Oh," Crowley says, a bit under demeanor. "I have to go back for it, don't I?"

"Don't you feed off this crap? Power-hungry and waiting to take over the Underworld?" Dean asks as he smacks Baby's hands away.

"Yes, I did," Crowley says as he fiddles with his hands. "I was quite enjoying the human idea for a bit there though, I really was."

Lucy steps up. "Y'know, it doesn't have to be you. Nor does it have to be evil, if that helps. It's a place meant to keep the bad things at bay and away from humanity. It's a place for souls to be free where they can't hurt others, if their intentions are hurtful. But I will let you choose."

"I don't think Sam would like me much if I chose, Lucy," Crowley offers as Sam is protectively standing behind Lucy, tugging at his arm.

Lucy turns to Sam. "It is going to be okay, Sam."

"But," Sam can't find all the words but Lucy knows what he wants to say.

Lucy takes Sam's hand and guides him upstairs, allowing Gabriel to follow a few steps behind them. "If I am meant to do this, Sam, I don't want to be in the darkness. If this is the will of the good, I can't say no."

"Please don't leave," Sam says, his voice sounding completely broken. "I love you."

"I love you too, Sammy," Lucy says, reaching up to capture Sam's lips.

Sam won't let go. He kisses deeper, wrapping his arms around Lucy and pulling them tighter together as they move. There's something about an angelic connection, even one with an angel as damaged as Lucifer himself that drags both of them into the embrace deeper.

Gabriel tugs at Sam's arm and the hunter finally pulls away, looking at Gabriel with apologetic eyes. He smiles at Sam. "It's going to be okay," Gabriel promises as he kisses Sam as well, a different and stronger fire pulsing between them, the light and purity in their connection powering through.

Sam pulls away and sees Lucy ready at the door to go. "I don't want you to leave."

"But I must go, my path has been chosen for me," Lucy promises with a painful smile. "Gabriel will take care of you. I trust that of my brother."

"I've got you, Sammykins," Gabriel promises as he leans on Sam's side, wrapping his arms around Sam's torso. "If I'm enough for you, that is."

Lucy waves goodbye as he walks down the stairs, knowing what he has to do. Sam turns to Gabriel at the last phrase. "You are always and forever enough for me, Gabriel. You're my angel, and I love you more than I can say. I just…I can't explain what I've been through to escape the hurt I may feel, letting go of another person I thought I could love."

"I'm your soul mate, isn't that cool? We're like, angel married," Gabriel says with a chuckle as he wraps his arms around Sam.

"How so?" Sam asks, clearly amused.

"Well, it's the whole profound bond thing, except you can't have one with two angels because it just doesn't happen that way," Gabriel explains with a grin. "You'll feel it soon, as I will. It may actually be literally painful to stay away, by no fault of my own. It'll hurt me first, if that helps."

"It doesn't," Sam says as he leans in closer, hovering over Gabriel's lips. "You remember when I was in pain over the curse when we wouldn't – and you started to feel the pain after because you didn't want me to be alone in it? It's sort of…I feel it would be like that."

"Did I mention I love you?" Gabriel asks before smashing his lips to Sam's, creating a ridiculously definitive answer to that question.

Downstairs, Lucy is walking to the group, trying not to be too amused at the conversation between Dean and his humanized car. "No, I'm with Cas. Stop it!"

"Just one kiss Dean, come on, you've had sex in me before," Baby says with a shit-eating grin.

Dean shakes his head. "You're a different kind of weird, dude."

"I will lead you to the Evil Queen if you just give me one kiss," Baby says, rocking on his heels. He sees Crowley try to intervene to put forth the suspicion in that statement. "No, no deal, it's just a way I could bargain to get one kiss from my owner."

"I don't like you," Dean says slowly.

"You don't," Baby says, smiling wider. "You love me," Baby says as he runs his hand up Dean's shoulder. "Come on, pucker up once, and just aid the curiosity."

Lucy shrugs. "Come on, one kiss won't hurt. Cassie will forgive you."

If a person could kill someone with a glare, Dean's at this moment would have a winning chance. "Fine, you jerk," Dean says before he goes to lean in.

Baby closes the gap too quickly, too fervently. The kiss doesn't feel right. It burns in a way Dean can't explain. Not just on his lips but in his heart. Dean pulls away after a few seconds, sooner than he anticipated. He grasps at his chest. "Ouch! What the heck, what's that?"

"Oh nothing," Baby says with a toothy grin. "Sorry, you forgot – the animated objects are tools of the queen. I'm sure Cas is feeling the same thing right about now."

"You, you are a son of a bitch!" Dean yells out, having to have Bela hold him back from beating his animated human car apart. He becomes weaker as his heart hurts more.

Lucy grabs Baby's arm. "How dare you, take me to your Queen NOW!"

Baby pulls away. "Easy on the arm, kiddo, I'm a classy car."

"NOW!" Lucy demands. Dean stays behind and all he can do is wait and pretend not to hear the crazy monkey sex his brother is having with Gabriel upstairs.

Lucy takes over again easily, knowing how to disarm a knight of hell easily. Castiel comes back with Adam, Alfie, and Kina. Kina is brought in by the boys, an injury to the stomach the easiest to see as it's bleeding through. Ben rushes out to help them bring her in the kitchen and mend her wounds. Ben doesn't leave Kina's side for a second until she's better.

Castiel looks worse than the rest of them, not even being able to look at Dean even though he's already heard the whole story. "Your car is back outside, a car again."

"Cas," Dean says, tears in his eyes. "I'm so sorry."

Castiel nods. "I know why – I just, I need some time."

"Please," Dean asks as Castiel is halfway up the stairs following him. Dean catches the door before it can be slammed in his face. He clutches his chest again, it hurts more this time.

Castiel watches him with wide eyes. "Come here," Castiel says, letting Dean walk inside the room with him. "Perhaps I should be sorry as well."

"What, why?" Dean asks as he clutches again, feeling the pain burn through him.

"We have a strongly profound bond, Dean," Castiel says, helping Dean sit on the bed. "I should have been specific as to mention the details of a bond. I never thought this would be an issue."

"He said he'd lead us to her and I knew you were captive and Cas, I did it because I wanted to find you and it was only for a few seconds," Dean says, yelping in pain as it burned again in his heart.

"Kiss me," Cas says softly, putting his hand on Dean's face and leaning in. The first kiss is unresponsive, and Cas breathes the request again as he dives back in. "Kiss me like you mean it, kiss me back," Cas coos as he leans back in and once Dean listens the pain starts to dull and fade. A few minutes later they part and Dean feels comforted.

"How does that work?" Dean asks as he strokes his hand up and down Castiel's torso.

"Our relationship, Dean, is both stronger and weaker by our bond," Castiel explains carefully. "We can't be apart for long without feeling upset or in pain. Betrayal leads to actual physical pain, the only cure being forgiveness and actual complete repenting energy. It's, um, complicated."

"We'll figure it out. I don't plan to listen next time, I'm never going to do that again," Dean promises as he leans closer in again.

"You better not. Next time I may let you suffer," Castiel says with a short laugh as Dean comes closer. "I just thought of something positive about it."

"Yeah?" Dean asks, breathing over Castiel's lips now.

"Want. It's going to feel like for one another, we're insatiable at times," Castiel replies as he strokes his fingers through Dean's hair. "We share desire for one another in connection. We can even read one another's emotions and thoughts. That is especially the case in times of…full penetration."

Dean can't take it anymore and kisses Castiel again, it becoming a mesh of teeth and tongues in a blink of the eye. Cas moves to straddle Dean's lap quickly, grinding down.

'Dean, I want, you inside me.' Cas thinks as he grinds down his ass on Dean's member

What can be heard aloud is a groan, while in their minds they meld in conversation. 'Oh, Cas, fucking get out of those clothes and you can do anything you want.'

Cas quickly obliges, working with Dean to rid both of them of clothing quickly. Castiel kisses Dean deeply when their clothes are all gone and sinks down onto Dean's member. 'Holy fuck, Cas.'

'Language,' Castiel chastises in his head back to Dean's, laughing softly against Dean's lips as he moves up and down Dean's member once before repetitive motions occur. He feels that Dean is worried about him. 'It's alright, I'm an angel, I am fine. Don't worry about it.'

'Can I flip us?' Dean asks in his mind, more to himself than anything, being too nervous to ask Cas as the angel seems to be having almost as much fun as him riding his dick.

Castiel nods as he wraps his legs around Dean tighter as they flip, Dean thrusting harder and faster the second he hits Castiel's prostate. It's not much longer until Dean and Cas are done, exhausted and extremely aroused by the connection between them to an earlier finish.

"That was beyond words, Cas," Dean says as he pulls out.

Castiel nods. "I've most certainly never experienced it before. I've only heard of it. That was, as you might say, awesome."

Dean chuckles. "I love you."

"I love you too," Cas says as they drift slowly off to sleep.

Author's Note: I know it was a bit short, but I hope you liked it! This chapter, I mean. I eventually plan to continue. However, always good for suggestions as to what stories to have them fall under next. Let me know darlings! How I've missed this fic. I'm putting a bit more effort with Jo/Charlie as the fic goes along, and as this is my first pairing of two females take it easy on me please as I write them and help me by critiquing me if I do something wrong.

"Charlie," Jo says, leaning back on the couch.

"Yes, my Sleeping Beauty person?" Charlie asks as she plops down beside Jo.

Jo frowns. "I don't know how to ask what I want to ask."

"Oh, well," Charlie flushes. "I don't know how to explain that."

"Is it more of a show then tell thing?" Jo asks, winking.

Charlie almost falls off of her seat. "What…um, I mean we could do the date thing first."

"Or we could do the other thing first," Jo says, putting her feet up on Charlie's lap. "So sue me, I'm a bit horny."

Dean walks in at exactly the right moment, crooked shirt and crinkled jeans, holding Cas at his side as they sit on a chair close-by, Dean pulling Cas into his lap with a small chuckle.

Charlie's eyes go wide. "Hey, uh, bro – how would you explain it?"

Dean chuckles. "It's more of a show then tell thing to explain. Cas explained our way to me quite well."

"I'm assuming Dean is referring to sex?" Cas asks, totally innocent and himself-like.

Jo curls closer to Charlie on the couch. "What do you think?"

"I, uh," Charlie is completely dumbfounded. It's not like she doesn't want to explain to Jo how to do every little thing. It's just that, well, maybe this time it could be less about the explaining and more about the 'them' part, "maybe later?" Charlie squeaks out.

"Alright gorgeous," Jo says as she gets up from the couch, knowing Charlie is watching her walk away.

Dean scoffs. "What was that? Jo doesn't usually let people hit on her. Let alone throws herself at someone to screw her. She wanted you to teach her, I can't think of anything much hotter."

"For your purposes, he means," Castiel says, a bit of an edge to his tone.

Dean rolls his eyes. "You know what I mean. I love you, Cas, I really do. But even you have to admit the idea of Jo begging to be taught how to screw a girl is arousing."

"I will admit no such thing," Cas says as he looks back at Charlie. "Dean is, however, correct to question why you did not take an opportunity there."

"I don't know," Charlie says, flopping her head down between her knees as she sits. "I wanted the feelings thing first, is that so bad?"

"You already have solid proof she's your true love, Charlie, what more do you need?" Dean asks carefully.

"I want romance. Screw it, I'm stupid," Charlie says as she sits back up, fixing her hair. "I'm sexually frustrated and I am still willing to not fall to seduce over getting to know Jo more."

"That's not stupid," Cas says, elbowing Dean in the gut for trying to say otherwise. "I wanted to take time in the relationship too before getting intimate."

"I just think this time it could work," Charlie says, shrugging.

"Jo has a persistent personality, little sister," Dean offers as he stretches over to offer her a hand. "If she really wants sex, she's going to have you begging for it by the end of the night."

"Weirdly hot," Charlie says with a shrug before chasing after Jo. "I kinda just thought we might do the date thing first, if that's okay."

Jo leans forward to kiss Charlie, pushing her against the wall. Charlie melts into it within seconds. When they pull apart, Charlie grins. "I don't know what I was going to say."

"Do you want me?" Jo asks in a whisper. Charlie nods furiously. "Good," Jo says with a large grin before pulling away and walking back to the living room.

Charlie trudges behind her a minute later. Dean bites his lip in an effort not to laugh at her. "Oh shut up, Winchester," Charlie barks as she sits in a chair away from Jo, crossing her legs.

Sam and Gabriel come bounding down the stairs, chuckling as they barely spend two seconds apart. Dean looks confused and turns to Castiel. Cas smiles. "They are newly bonded, quite a good thing when one party isn't explicitly in denial."

"I eventually came around," Dean says with a pout.

Castiel smiles softly. "I would kiss you, but unfortunately the bond with you is too fresh. Sam and Gabriel have already been through the painful phase. I would like to hold out on that for you for a while."

"That wasn't just a trick?" Sam asks, wide-eyed.

Gabriel shakes his head. "Sped up and intensified version of the bonding process, really mean way to do it. Usually it is over time, dragged out. The only cure usually is time, and with most people who are paired the only reprimanding of the behavior comes with people finding them too obnoxiously cute."

"Cute isn't the word," Dean replies gruffly. "You two are far too loud."

"I would say the same for you, but you two finally figured out the mind-thing. Props," Gabriel says, winking at Castiel. "That's a dangerous area. A good one, protection purposes and all – but all hell breaks loose when you'll catch Dean having thoughts you don't like or worse, ones you like too much."

"Cas, move," Dean says softly.

"Why?" Castiel asks carefully as he stands up.

Dean waits a moment and feels it. "Ugh, the delay is over," Dean says, yanking Cas in his lap. "I fear you're going to be stuck with me, Cas."

"What'll make it worse for them – usual bonds actually won't allow bonded pairs to stay apart even if they haven't touched, meaning that they will be constantly at it," Gabriel says with a shrug.

Author's Note: (PART TWO) Here's the thing. I am enjoying writing this fic and I imagine it going places somehow. However, it's going to be a bit spaced in-between chapters because I want to do quality fairytale and story intrusions. So, yeah, any suggestions are welcome if you have ideas for the WHAT NEXT quotient, but other than that I'll leave it there.
