Chapter 9
A/n: I know I'm back already hey? Well what can I say I got a surge of inspiration. I know where I want this story to go, getting there is the trick. Well on with the show
Castiel looked at the group of people surrounding him in the large living room. Dean his beautiful hunter and the oldest Winchester. Sammy the second oldest, was something like a brother to him. Adam the youngest his friend. Young Ben he thought of as son and Gail his beautiful niece the human vessel of his father and Bobby who always treated him like his own. He smiled inwardly. These people where his family. And he would give anything to protect them, die for them without a second thought. And today he had to ask them to put their lives on the line for his brothers.
"I need to speak to all of you. But mostly to you two" He said looking at the teens sitting close together on the couch. "I have to ask for your help, both of you." He said making eye contact with them both. "Gail, you are Nephliem and your blood is needed for the ritual, if we use your blood you must enter hell with us." Gail just smiled softly. "Did you think, Uncle that I wouldn't be willing?" Castiel shook his head. "I still had to ask." His eyes fell on Sam who was gritting his teeth to keep from begging his adoptive daughter to reconsider. Gail followed his look and sighed. "Sam...I'll be fine" Sam nodded tightly "I know" Castiel decided it was time to continue.
"Ben. I hate having to drag you into this. But we need you to join us in our mission. Your spirit is pure and strong despite the horrible things you've been through. We need it to shield our presence from the Demons. "But this is your choice you do not have to go with us." Castiel glanced over at Dean who looked resigned. He knew exactly what Ben would say. "I'm in" Ben said with a smirk. "Thank you for letting me decide" he never took his eyes off the Angel but the words were meant for his father. "What do I need to do." he asked. "Not much, just be with us, and be ready to fight if the need arises." Cas said with a shrug.
"But there is more" He said waiting until he had everyone's attention. "To hold the door open long enough for us to get back out, we need the grace of a god. On this side." Charlie glared at him. "I'm going with you!" Castiel shook his head. "You can't, we need you here, ready to pull us out." Bobby put his hand on Charlie's shoulder. "I'll protect them" Bobby stated sending a determined look towards the Angel clearly stating he was going. And it wasn't optional. Cas just smiled at the old hunter. "Gabby and Destiel can help you hold the door open." At the confused looks he was getting he realized he would have to explain.
"Destiel has the soul of a god. And Gabby is a direct descendent of you father, she is your...successor." Sam was gaping at him in shock, Dean was pale looking at Castiel in confusion. "The soul of a God?" He blurted. "Yes, he was born without a soul. So he was blessed with the soul of a fire god waiting to be reborn into a human vessel." Dean just slumped into his chair, letting Adam pat his shoulder comfortingly. "As I was saying. With you three keeping it open we should have enough time to get to Michael and Gabriel." Everyone nodded their understanding of the basics of the plan.
Sam took over from there. "We're going in as a group, but we will have partners, Stay close to your partner and watch each other's backs." he glared around the room making sure everyone was paying attention. "I will be partnered with Adam, Dean you're with Castiel, Gail with Ben. Bobby you're the odd man out so I want you watching over the kids got it?" Everyone agreed. "Alright, Cas says we're going to be picking up some old friends along the way, so the dynamics might change but until then this is how it has to be` with nods of consent. He finished the conversation with. "I want everyone to be ready, Castiel is going to give us each a list of things we're going to need while we're down there. He'll help us get what we don't have."
Dean and Ben left the room together talking in low voices. Charlie and Bobby stayed where they were discussing the plan. Castiel trailed after Dean leaving Gail and Sam to head into the kitchen alone. "So, we're really doing this huh?" She asked with determined smile at her guardian. "Yeah" Sam smirked at her. "We really are." They went about preparing lunch for everyone in quiet companionship, each lost in their own thoughts regarding the risky plan. They both knew it might not end well, that they could lose someone on the way in or out. Gail was scared it would be Sam, She knew he wouldn't hesitate to die to keep her safe. "Sam...?"She said softly. "Hmm?" He glanced at her. "Promise me you won't do anything stupid down there okay?"
Sam was lying in his bed that night thinking about the promise he made to Gail. She had sounded so desperate that he caved and hugged her "I promise" he had said. But he wasn't sure he could keep that promise. If her life was in danger he sure as hell wasn't going to stand by and let anything happen to her. He was so preoccupied worrying about the whole mess of a plan that he only vaguely noticed the mist surrounding his vision. Soon he was sprawled in the grass by the pond he and Gabe had gone swimming in.
"Hey Sammy, why the long face?" Gabe was on his side by the hunter, his head in his hand as he looked down at him. "Just worried about everything" Gabe quirked an eyebrow at Sam, silently reminding him that he wasn't in the loop. "Oh right" So Sam sat up and explained the plan, from beginning to end, carefully watching the arch-angel's face for his reaction. 'Sammy no way' Gabe said leaping to his feet. "Gabe it's already been decided. She wants to do this" Sam gulped at the dangerous look on Gabriel's face. 'She is just a child!' he snapped.
"Not just any child. She's your child Gabe. And if I told her no she'd damn well find a way to do it herself!" Sam yelled back, tired of the same old argument. "You think I want this! To bring her to hell? But It's a hell of a lot better then her trying it alone" He fall onto his back in the grass closing his eyes fighting back frustrated tears. Gabriel's shoulders slumped. The human was right of course. Gail would certainly try it herself. 'Oh Sammy... I know, you're right.' He curled up next to that larger man. 'I'm sorry I snapped' Sam pulled Gabriel close holding him tight. They didn't say a word after that, just held each other close. Each seeking and giving comfort to the other.
Dean was sitting outside on the hood of his Impala watching the stars, and thinking about all the information he'd learned from Castiel about his Son. 'A god wow' he thought to himself, trying not to think about the fact that his son was born without his own soul. "Cas dammit I need some more information about Destiel" He called hoping his Angel would answer him. Castiel appeared beside him on the hood of the car, uncomfortably close not that Dean minded too much. "What do you want to know?" was his simple reply.
"What did you mean, about Destiel not having his own soul?" Dean said turning his head to look at the Angel. "when he was born he only had a half soul, he would have died, had his soul not touched that of Icarus a fire god of old while he was still in the womb. Icarus gave his essence to Destiel effectively giving your son a chance to live, Icarus's powers are housed in your son, but the soul is his own. He will be a god in his own right one day." Castiel explained. Dean thought about it, remembering those five terrifying minutes when Destiel was first-born and he wasn't breathing. "So this Icarus guy saved my son. I wish it could thank him" Castiel smiled softly at the hunter. "Hey Cas... how do you know so much about my son?"
Castiel blushed. "Well I felt the anguish of your soul when he wasn't breathing I arrived just in time to see Icarus poor the last of his spirit and life-force into the infant, seconds later he started to cry, I wasn't needed so it left..." Dean stared at him. "You came for us..." Dean whispered his fingers reaching out to caress the side of Castiel's face. Cas leaned into the touch. "I'll always come for you. And the boys." Dean leaned closer his eyes meeting the angel's as if asking for permission, Cas closed the distance latching onto Dean's mouth like a life-line.
Dean moaned into the kiss, rolling himself on top of Castiel, trapping him against the hood of the car. Kissing the Angel was intoxicating, he tasted like heaven. "Fuck Cas." he gasped when they needed air placing his forehead against Castiel's, his eyes closed. Cas watched his hunter with barely supressed passion. "Dean" he said making the man open his eyes. "Let me have this..." Dean's eyes widened. 'God yes' he thought helplessly. As if sensing the humans waning will power. "Say yes..." He growled, grinding his hips up into Dean causing him to moan helplessly nodding his head in defeat Dean leaned down to kiss him again
The Angel didn't hesitate, using his superior strength to flip them over. Kissing his way down the man's throat, his daft fingers undoing his after Dean started tugging frantically on Cas's trench coat, helping him remove it. Cas I need..." Cas growled snapping his fingers and using his mojo as dean called it to remove their clothes. both men had totally forgot where they were. They were thrusting their cocks against each other. Kissing, licking and biting any bare skin the came across.
"Oh God Cas, please I need" Castiel kissed his way down Dean's body. His hand palming the human's swollen shaft. "Ahh..." Dean moaned arching into the touch. Cas smirked up at him, before engulfing his cock. Dean's hands found their way into the blue-eyed man's hair. "Cas..." Dean couldn't believe the sinful things the angel could do with his mouth. He was close and Castiel knew it. He flicked his tongue over the slit of dean's penis, that's all it took to have Dean screaming his name as he came. Castiel swallowed efficiently. Licking his lips provocatively, his hungry gaze devouring the sight of his lover looking so vulnerable.
At the far away sound of a car, Castiel recalled exactly where they were. "Let's at least move this somewhere more... private?" He said seductively biting Dean's ear. "Hell yes" Dean breathed. "Where?" Cas shot back. "Back seat." Seconds later they were in the backseat. Dean with his legs spread as far apart as he could to give Castiel's skilled tongue better access to his tight entrance moaning helplessly. Deciding he had prepared his human enough, he began licking and nipping his way up to Dean's ear to whisper. "I'm going to take you now." He said seductively, using one hand to support himself above the human while the other rubbed his cock against Dean's tight hole. "Please!" Dean cried.
