Meg's patience was beginning to wear as she stood ready for the angel's attack, the shadows shifted and she began to wonder if they were waiting for something. Meg turned her head to look at Cas and gave him a questioningly look, he simply shrugged in reply. The brothers too, were getting impatient they stood behind them and whispered softly.
"What the hell are they waiting for?" Meg couldn't tell which one said it, her attention was once again on the figures that were finally making their way inside. A tall dark man, stood before them his stare seemed ageless, as he entered Castiel's grip on her hand tightened, he knew this angel it was the one that had 'put him in line' years ago when he had been forced back to heaven. He released Meg's hand and took a small step forward.
"Seth."
"Castiel." the angel answered. Meg took in a sharp breath as she heard the name, it sent ever nerve in her body in high alert, she remembered Seth, not the same meat suit, but she would never forget the name of the angel who sent her to hell. Seth looked at Meg with a slight interest he also recognized her.
"What is you call yourself now…Meg is it?"
"You son of a bitch, you're not going to destroy my life again. I'll kill you!" she screamed and took a step forward , but was quickly held back by Castiel's arm.
"You know him?" Castiel asked. Meg nodded.
"A demon always remembers how they ended up in hell." Seth answered. Cas glared at the angel, he felt the anger build up inside him, for some reason it bothered him the way he looked at Meg, they way we he mocked her.
"Enough of the small talk." Meg snapped as she pushed Castiel's arm away.
"Fine as you know we are here for the child. Jael was the one who was sent to get rid of him, but obviously we underestimated his power and well, he's dead." said Seth.
Meg snapped and lunged forward ,angel sword aimed directly to his chest, Castiel tried to stop her ,but was now caught up in a fight with two other angels, while the brothers tried desperately to draw an angel banishing sigil.
Clarence stared ahead, a blank expression on his face, he had been silent for a while now after revealing to Chuck that he knew his secret.
Please
Please…You can stop it. You can save them. Please. echoed the voices. Chuck sighed and turned to Inias, who was oblivious to Clarence's silent cries.
"Inias." said Chuck.
"Yes Chuck." he answered. Chuck swallowed and shared a quick look with Clarence and turned back to Inias.
"We have work to do."
Castiel had been able to take down one of his attackers , but he hadn't got away from the excruciating stab the second one had given him on the shoulder. Sam and Dean were coughing up blood on the floor , Seth had thought it would be fun to see them endure stomach cancer while he took his time with Meg. Had she still been a demon she could've put more of a fight, but now she was no match Seth had easily taken Inias angel sword and was kicking her repeatedly in the gut. He shouted her true name, and reminded her why he hurled her into the pit.
"Don't worry your little boy will live he'll be a good obedient soldier, I'll make sure of that." he said before grabbing her and placing a hand on her forehead. Meg closed her eyes and waited for the deadly light to come, but it never did. She opened her eyes to see Seth's face filled with confusion, he pressed his hand again ,but nothing happened.
Letting go of Meg he turned around and noticed that the Sam and Dean were no longer on the floor.
Angered by his sudden loss of power he clasped his hand on Meg's throat and began to squeeze, she held on his arm and gasped desperately for air.
"STOP!" shouted a voice. Seth dropped Meg and she collapsed on the floor coughing violently , everyone's head turned to the door where two figures stood, as the they stepped in, they quickly recognized them as Chuck, Clarence and Inias.
"Stop." repeated Chuck his voice somehow lacking the usual nervousness. Castiel made his way to Meg and helped her up.
"This has gone on for far too long." said Chuck.
"What are you doing here?" Seth asked.
"I'm here to stop you from doing something incredibly stupid! That's what!" he shouted. Seth smirked.
"You're a prophet so I can't hurt you, but you will hand over the boy. It is clear that he can be useful. He belongs with the army of angels."
"I'll burn off your pretty little wings before that happens." warned Meg as rubbed her neck and supported herself on Cas . Chuck handed Clarence to Inias then stepped right in front of the brooding angel, everyone stared in amazement at his sudden bravery or stupidity, but none made any move to stop him. He stared into Seth's eyes and shook his head.
"I…Have…Spoken to.." Chuck began, then glanced at Clarence who holding on to the tie on Inias' neck.
"I have spoken to God." Chuck said. Seth's forehead creased and he shook his head in disbelief.
"That's impossible." he whispered.
"He said that all angels were to return …to heaven."
"Is he coming back?" asked Castiel. Chuck finally looked at him and shook his head.
"No, but he does believe that heaven and the souls there need to be guarded, so all angels on Earth are to return…immediately…and stay there."
"Wait" Meg said, " Does that mean Cas has to go too?"
"He is an angel." Chuck answered emotionless , behind him he heard a small whimper come from the baby in the room and he cast his eyes down to the floor.
Cas nodded, Inias walked forward , past Seth, and handed Clarence to his father. Even though he didn't understand the affection or the emotion the same way Castiel did he somehow knew that he would need to hold him one last time. Clarence and Cas stared at each other blue eyes boring into another, neither of them making a single sound, yet everything that need to be said was felt through gaze. Meg stood in silence and watched her son and her angel. She had never felt so many emotions at one time. Cas finally broke the stare and looked at Meg, pulling her close, leaving Clarence in the middle with each of his tiny hands on both of their hearts. Castiel placed a hand on both sides of her face and looked at her, really looked at her.
"Come on feathers, Don't leave you still haven't even changed a diaper." Meg said.
Cas sighed, " I suppose that's a joke?"
Meg rolled her eyes and fought to keep her composure . He placed an awkward kiss on Clarence's forehead and gave him to Meg.
"I… um …I'll always be watching." Cas promised.
Inias walked over to Seth and placed on hand on his shoulder, bringing him out of his state of shock he looked at the hand on his shoulder then with flutter of wings they were gone. Cas looked at the brothers , "I trust you will take care of them." he said. They nodded and patted him in the back. Cas picked up Inias angel sword and placed it in his coat. Finally not able to bare any longer Meg , grabbed Cas and pressed her lips to his, melting into him and simultaneously memorizing his scent. Hands tangled in each others hair they both let all the secretly kept feelings show and as they finally pulled away she felt his hands slide off her…keeping her eyes closed she sighed .
"Cloud hopping, pansy is gone isn't he?" she muttered before she finally opened her eyes and let the tears fall.
