Well here you all go. Come down from your shock yet? Well here is some more for you all.
Enjoy!
"That's my brother, Sam."
Castiel was shocked. He looked back at Dean, still not sure what to say or do. It was Gabriel that broke the silence.
"Castiel, why don't you show me what you have so far, let the brothers catch up." Gabe spoke in a quiet voice, gentle pulling Castiel away from Sam and Dean.
Cas led Gabe down to the panic room, passing Adam on the stairs. They continued down to the panic room. Gabriel went straight to the wall, following the strings with his fingers.
"You've done very well, Castiel." He stated taking in the larger picture.
Castiel flushed. "Dean helped. I couldn't have gotten all this information, if Dean wasn't so through." He waved a hand to four journals. "These are from the time he started killing, everything his victims told him."
Castiel ran a hand through his hair. "You never mentioned that Samuel Winchester was in witness protection."
Gabriel sighed. "I couldn't, but it is why I wasn't allowed to take this case. It would have been too dangerous for Sam. Everyone needed to believe Sam was dead." He crossed his arms, staring at the floor. "He killed one of our undercover agents, Tessa."
Cas jerked his head up, staring wide-eyed at Gabe. "Tessa? Why wasn't that in her file that she was one of ours?"
He got a shrug. "She was deep undercover. If it was broadcasted that she was FBI, then all the intelligence she had gathered would become null and void." He reached into his pocket and pulled out a sucker. Popping it into his mouth, he sucked on it thoughtfully. "Though this will make the trail easier, less people to catch and try."
Castiel tilted his head to the side, confused. "What have you gotten me into?" He asked in a low voice.
"They are a gang of shorts, monstrous people, but spotless reputations. I'm sure you noticed, it wasn't until Dean allowed us to turn their lives upside down that we found the evidence that they were anything but upstanding citizens."
That caused Cas to laugh. "I did notice that. So Sam was a target?"
"Yeah, the poor kid. He caught this guy's attention from early on. Everyone that had done horrible things to him did it all on his orders. Sam is the only one we have still alive to that id the bastard. He is that tricky." Gabe sighed. "I've been running all over this country hoping we run across him and I can cuff him, but I will settle with taking down his organization."
Cas patted his shoulder. "I think I should be thanking you in some strange way."
Now it was Gabriel's turn to laugh. "Oh yes. Thank the man who got you into a fucked up case." His golden eyes flashed with sorrow. "You know we are going to have to arrest Dean when this is all over, right?"
He nodded, looking grim. "I'm surprised you haven't tried to arrest him now."
Gabe sighed. "I can't. Right now Dean might be able to draw in the big fish, besides I don't trust our office right now. Did you know Ion has now been brought in? Naomi's little pet is going to be let off his leash and he has been pointed at you for a while."
"Dean won't let me go that easily. Ion will just get hurt." Cas mentioned, calmly. "You think he has people on the inside."
Gabe gave him a sideways glance. "I would bet on it."
Shoving his hands in his pockets of his jacket, Sam looked at his brother. He hadn't been able to really see his brother in the last four years, only brief pictures when the news was once more covering a new murder his brother committed. "How have you been, Dean?"
Dean glared at Sam. "Really, Sammy. You've been dead for the last four years, and all you have is how have you been!" At the end of it Dean was shouting.
Sam looked properly cowed. "It wasn't like I could have picked up a phone and called, Dean. I hated the fact I could leave anything that would let you know I was still alive. You had to believe I was dead. You of all people."
Dean slammed his fist into the side of the house. "But they killed you." Dean looked like he was breaking, slowly. Everything he had been for the last four years had been because Sam had died. Now that Dean saw he was alive and well, he wasn't sure how he should feel. Happy that he had his little brother back, guilty over his actions, sad that some bastard had forced it to come to this. "Those bastards killed you."
Sam pulled a bitch face, causing Dean's lips to twitch in a smile. He missed that look. "Tessa kept me from actually dying." Sam brushed his hair from his face. "Lilith wanted to kill me, but Tessa gave me a fake poison, so I looked like I had died." Sam leaned against the railing. "This guy can only be taken down by me, Dean. Gabriel knew if I stayed alive, then I would never have a normal life, I would always be on the run from one of his flunkies."
The screen door opened, revealing Adam. He stepped onto the porch, staring up at Sam. Dean watched with narrowed eyes. "W-who are you?" Adam asked shifting before him.
Sam looked down at Adam, then at Dean. "Dean?"
Dean sighed. "Adam, this is my friend. It's ok, Crowley brought him around."
Adam seemed to relax, he nodded and disappeared into the house once more. Sam looked strangely at Dean for a moment before asking. "And he was?"
"Adam, our half-brother." He moved towards Sam. "Look, Sammy, I'm not sure if we should tell everyone from the tops of the mountains. I trust these people to not let the law know where I am, but that doesn't mean I trust them with everything." He opened the door. "Let's go tell the agents we played nicely with each other."
"Dean." Sam called, following after him. "Are we going to be ok?"
Dean looked over his shoulder. "I just got you back. Stop worrying about stupid shit like that."
They found their friends busy at work, adding more to the wall. Castiel was taking bits and pieces Gabriel was writing out and pinning them to the wall. Dean smiled watching his lover work. Sam watched his brother, noting the care his brother's look conveyed.
"Gabe, you couldn't even wait could you?" Sam asked, causing both agents to jump. Gabe looked sheepish.
"You know me, Sam-kins. I'm like a kid on Christmas when I find something." He waved his hand at the wall. "And look at the present Castiel had worked so hard on for me."
Sam chuckled. Cas moved away from the wall and moved over to Sam. He held his hand out to the man before him. "Hello, Sam. I'm Castiel."
Sam gave a shy smiled and shook Castiel's hand. "Hi, Castiel. Gabe has told me a lot about you."
Dean walked over to Gabriel, looking at the wall. "This is looking less and less complicated the more you add to it."
Gabe smirked. "That's Cas for you. He takes all this information and makes it make sense. He mentioned you still wouldn't give him the rest of the list. It could help."
Dean crossed his arms, looking down at the smaller agent. "No. I promised I wouldn't leave him behind, but" He looked back at Sam. "I never excepted for Sam to come back. I did this all for him."
"You gave them their just dessert, so I won't fault you. Sam understand why you were doing what you were doing. I am able to keep him safe, I have been all this time." He gave a low chuckle. "Sam was the one who pushed me to make friends with Cas. He wanted to know more about who was assigned to take you down."
Dean grinned wolfishly. "I heard I killed the wrong person. Care to see if I can't get the main bastard."
Castiel came up behind Dean, pulling Dean close to him. "Let's worry about your endgame, before we worry about Sam's."
Dean turned in Cas's arms. "Agent Castiel, are you encouraging me to continue?" He ran his hand through his agent's hair, bring his face closer. "What could have possible corrupted you?"
Cas moved his arm's up to wrap around Dean's neck. "I'm not encouraging. I'm saying being bait. If that means letting you kill, then it will be for the greater good."
Gabe and Sam stood next to each other watching their allies becoming wrapped in their own world. Gabe looked over at Sam. "How long do you think it will take them to notice that we are still here?" He asked in a low whisper, leaning closer to Sam.
Sam huffed. "Like you really mind, Gabriel."
He slid his arm around the taller man. "You're right, I don't mind." He looked over at the couple. "But looking at them is almost too sweet for me."
Sam shook his head. "Nothing is too sweet for you."
Gabe pushed him playfully. "At least I know how to eat. I don't eat that rabbit food you're so fond of."
Laughter made them pause. Apparently Dean and Cas had come back to their surrounding and now were looking at the pair. Dean mock glared. "That is my baby brother you're flirting with Agent. I'm not above getting rid of you if I have to."
Gabe stuck his tongue out. "You would have to catch me first slow poke."
Dean removed himself from Cas and lunged at the man.
Gabe smiled and moved out of his way. "It's a wonder it took Cas this long to catch up with you, since you're so slow and all."
Gabe knew better than to just stand there and he took off. Dean snarled. "Get back here midget." He chased after him.
Cas and Sam stared after them. Sam broke the silence first. "So, you and my brother."
Cas glanced sideways. "You and my best friend."
They broke into twin grins. "We had better go after them. Gabe can be a handful."
Laughing they went up after their lovers. They found them in the library. Somehow Gabriel had end up on top of a bookshelf, hissing at Dean like an angry cat. Dean was trying to drag the agent down from the shelf, but found every time he reached for him the small agent moved away from his questing hands.
Sam leaned against the door jam and pulled out a piece of chocolate. "Hey, Gabe."
That gained the attention of both men. Gabe seemed to perk up seeing the chocolate in Sam's hand. He clambered down the bookshelf and plastered himself to Sam's side, taking the chocolate and popping it in his mouth. Sam smiled, holding Gabriel close. "You didn't take off the wrapper again, Gabe."
Dean and Castiel watched in fascination as Gabe took just the foil out of his mouth. Gabe smiled up at Sam. "You forget I have a very talented tongue."
Sam blushed. "I didn't." He stroked Gabe's cheek. "But you have eaten the wrappers before."
They heard the front door slam, and Bobby yell. "Boys, get your asses in here."
The brothers looked sheepishly at each other, just as they had any other time they were in trouble with Bobby. Castiel smiled at how the brothers seemed to fall into sync again after all this time. He was happy that things in Dean's life were starting to look up. They made their way into the kitchen, where Bobby and Crowley were waiting for them. Adam came down a few minutes later, he seemed to balk at the number of people in the kitchen, but under Bobby's glare he stayed.
"Since we are going to have all these guests here, I think it is time for us to have a family talk." Bobby started. He gave a hard look at Adam, "I know there have been issues, and I've let them slide because of the situations you all have been forced into. Dean, Sam, you boys know you're like my own kids, but what the hell were you thinking."
Sam looked down. "There wasn't any choice, Bobby. I had to."
Bobby glared at Gabriel. "Because this one told you too?"
Before Gabe could respond to the outrageous statement, Sam answered. "Because I didn't want to die. I wanted this to end."
Bobby's face softened. "I know, Sam, but it's been hard on all of us."
Sam nodded, looking forlorn and dejected. "I'm sorry, Bobby."
Crowley looked like he had been silent enough. "Oh, quit your crying, giraffe."
The whole room looked at Crowley, who shrugged. "What I didn't ask to be a part of your love fest, Robert. I'm here to finish my deal I had with Dean."
Dean stepped forward, glaring at the pompous man. "Then let's finish it."
Crowley opened his briefcase and handed a file to Dean. "Well, it was nice doing business with you." He closed his briefcase and started to leave. Crowley stopped and walked over to Bobby. "When you're ready to play, call me." Crowley placed a business card in Bobby's pocket and left the house.
Dean kept the folder in his grasp. "Why don't we just have dinner and share stories." He looked at the Bobby. "We should be happy we're together again."
Bobby nodded, knowing that Dean was going to leave again soon.
well there you have it. Nothing much to explain what is up with Adam, but I hope the pieces are now in place for the big picture! Please review, cuz Dean is going out again, and should Bobby call Crowley?
