A/N: Glad I checked preview story because I accidentally posted the wrong chapter 10. Probably no one saw it, but if you did. Sorry! There's only two chapters and an epilogue left of this one. I will also be doing a one shot of Castiel seducing Dean afterwards. Thanks for all the love.

The French Kiss Mistake chapter 10

"So nice of you lot to finally show." Balthazar glared at Castiel before turning his attention to them.

Jensen fought the urge to strangle him. But this wasn't their friend, Sebastian. This angel could do serious damage if he was pissed off. And they needed to play nice to get back home. It was difficult knowing he was responsible for everything they'd gone through. Being torn away from friends, family and Misha. Thrown into this fucked up world. Of course, if he hadn't brought them here, they would have never met Castiel. Something he didn't want to think about right now.

"Balthazar," he said. "Time to explain yourself."

"Of course. Once Castiel leaves we can get down to business."

"I'm not going anywhere."

Jensen couldn't help but notice the way Castiel moved in front of them. Protective-Cas gave him a warm feeling inside. He could also read the determined look on his face. Cas was like an immovable object. And no matter what Balthazar said, the angel was involved in this. He had a right to stay.

"I have to agree with Balthazar," Jared said unexpectedly. "Castiel if you don't mind." It was not said unkindly, but the angel still looked hurt.

Jensen glanced at his boyfriend in surprise. He knew Jared had an idea about what was going on, but he couldn't understand why Cas was being excluded.

"I'm not leaving." Obviously, neither could the angel.

Jared gave Jensen the look, and he rolled his eyes. Why was he always the one who had to smooth things over? Still, he trusted Jared, and if he said Cas had to go, then he had to go.

He pulled the angel aside. "Cas, buddy, look. I don't know what's going on here. I don't. But you need to just let us take care of it." He cringed at his own words. He was sounding more Dean-like every day. Seriously, they had to get out of this freaking place.

"I want to stay."

"I get that, I do. But if Jared says you need to leave then that's what's gotta happen. You trust us right?"

"Yes," he said reluctantly.

"Alright then. Promise me you're not going to listen in. We won't leave without saying goodbye."

"Fine," he said with a grumble. "I promise."

A swoosh of his wings, and he was gone.

Jensen sighed heavily, making his way back to his partner in crime.

"Been playing spin the bottle with the angels, have we? What would Dean say about you messing with his things?"

"Cas isn't a thing, you jackass." He took a deep breath, trying to remain calm.

"Touchy."

"Could we just get on with it?" Jared was calm as he grabbed Jensen's hand and squeezed reassuringly.

"It's simple really," Balthazar said. "I brought you two here because I don't want to die."

"And how are we supposed to help with that?" He could tell Jared expected his answer, and he was tired of being the only one in the dark.

"Figure it out genius."

Jensen wasn't normally a violent person, but today he wanted to embrace his Dean-like instincts and just gank the asshole.

Balthazar sighed dramatically. "It's obvious, isn't it? I want to know how I died so I can stop it from happening."

"And we're the only ones that can help you," Jared said.

"I tried everyone else. I went to the future and interrogated your imbecilic counterparts. They didn't even know I was dead. They suspected, but they didn't even care enough to know for sure. So I went to the next logical person. My brother, Castiel."

Jensen suddenly knew why Cas was not there. Future Castiel, in his desire to reach God-like status, had killed Balthazar. He'd felt betrayed when his brother had helped the Winchesters, and he'd stabbed him in the back.

This current Castiel didn't know any of this.

"I'm guessing he wasn't too forthcoming?"

"No, he wasn't," Balthazar said. "He told me he didn't know, but I could tell he was lying. And the only reason he would lie is if he had something to do with it."

"How did you figure it out in the first place?" Jensen asked.

The angel didn't respond.

"It was us… or rather Sam and Dean," Jared said.

Jensen was confused. "Wait, I thought they didn't know."

"They didn't," he said to Jensen, before turning to the angel. "So they summoned you, expecting the current Balthazar. Past you showed up instead."

"Give the man a cookie."

"Wait," Jensen said. "That doesn't make sense. If was in the script we'd know it."

"We haven't gotten that script yet. We're only up to where they've summoned Balthazar to help Castiel, who is now human, with an army of fallen angels on his ass."

Not sure it was a good idea to give the angel all that information. But whatever Cat. Bag. Out. Done.

"So let me get this straight. The Winchesters summon you. And since there is no you available, you from the past comes forward. That's one powerful spell."

"Well I was doing some time hopping, just for kicks. Might have something to do with it."

Jensen rolled his eyes. Freaking angels. Didn't know when to stay put and leave things alone.

"I still don't understand. I know everyone else seems to get this but I'm having some trouble. If the Winchesters summoned you. Why did you come to us?"

Balthazar glanced at Jared. "Seriously what do you see in this guy. Obviously hot, with a nice ass but not too bright."

"Explain it to me. Pretend I'm slow."

"Sweetheart, I don't have to pretend," he said. "I told you, I went to the Winchesters. They didn't bloody know. They thought I was still alive. I thought we covered this."

He'd forgotten how cheeky this angel was. "Fine, so you figured it out."

"Not right away, genius. I just wondered why they got me instead of future me. So I went looking around. And guess what. I wasn't there. In any future after 2011. Kind of pissed me off. In my future hopping, I saw Castiel and myself send the Winchesters to TV land, and it gave me the idea. I figured as the actors, you would know, so I did the only thing I could. I knew if I went to your universe, my powers would be diminished or gone completely. I couldn't have that could I? So I brought you here. Everyone caught up now? Can we proceed? Because I'm getting really bored with this."

"Give me an angel blade, I'll take care of that."

"Then how will you get home, sweetheart? Think before you speak. I know you have a brain in there somewhere. Unlike the real Dean."

As Jensen lurched forward, Jared grabbed his arm. "Calm down. Remember the rule. Don't piss off the angels."

"Fine." He threw up his hands and walked away. He'd just have to let Jared take care of it. He couldn't deal with this freaking angel anymore.
