Shall we find out what Castiel and Crowley have been up to lately?

Unknown location

"This is all your fault."

Castiel clenched his fists and shook his head, "The repetition of those words will not make your statement true."

Crowley glared at him from the other side of the room where he stood in a devils trap. "I told you it was a bad idea."

"You are a bad idea." Cas muttered, turning around in the circle of flaming holy oil. He cursed the rotten luck that had left him trapped by Abbadon's minions with Crowley.

"Oh, Cas, you have been hanging around with the Winchesters too long." Crowley continued, "Your comebacks are as lame as theirs are."

Cas glared at the demon, "I have no desire to speak with you."

Crowley grinned although he wanted to punch the angel in the face. "Well, you haven't got much of a choice, now have you? Because the last I checked, we were trapped together." His voice grew louder as he spoke, "And it is all your fault."

"I was protecting my daughter!"

"And you were willing to kill some innocent girl to do so." Crowley tsked, "Shame on you, Castiel. Now, me, that was a plan I could have gone for, did go for, but aren't you supposed to be the angel? Anyway, it doesn't matter now, does it? Doesn't matter what your little plan was. Because we're trapped and they're all out there doing who knows what. You should have just stayed away from Casey."

"She's my daughter." Cas repeated, then narrowed his eyes, "How is it that you were part of her life anyway?"

"Had a thing for BeaBea." Crowley grinned again, thinking back. "Her great granny. Lovely lady. Spunky like Casey. She went for a farmer instead. But not before she used a spell on me."

"A spell?"

"Instant family friend, you might say. I am rather at their service." He sneered in distaste, "I had no idea you were Casey's father, though. Really, Castiel, how'd that happen?"

"It is none of your business, Crowley."

Crowley shrugged, "I knew she was half angel. Helped her find you actually. Well, helped her try to track down her father at any rate. Never expected it to be you."

"You are so fond of her and yet when she came back from Purgatory, where you sent her, with no memory of being there, you never questioned it?" Cas shot back at him.

"She is a woman, Castiel." Crowley rolled his eyes. "I figured she didn't find what she was looking for and she didn't want to talk about it. She may call me her uncle but that doesn't mean we had frequent family reunions and spilled our deepest secrets. I had other things to do than worry about what was happening in that twisted little head of hers."

For a moment, they fell silent. Cas, for the hundredth time, looked the room over. Inch by inch. Still no weaknesses. Still no indication of where they were. He didn't even remember how he'd arrived. Just remembered coming to consciousness to find himself trapped with Crowley. Not a good day at all. He slowly sat down in the circle. They were going to be here for awhile.

Crowley shook his head, "Giving up so soon, Cas? We've only been here for a day or so. I would have expected some of that Winchester 'can do' attitude would have rubbed off on you by now. Besides, I'm sure that once your compatriots discover you are missing, they'll come find you."

Cas shook his head silently.

"Ah, come on then." Crowley said, also sitting down. He glanced around the room and said, "I spy with my little eye... something grey."

"The wall."

"No, you idiot!" Crowley shouted, patience completely shot. "The floor. Seriously, Castiel." He tried to rein in his fury. Using his most polite voice, Crowley said, "Let's try again. I spy something black…"

Castiel glared at him and didn't respond.

Crowley waited for several seconds, but Cas remained silent. Crowley glared back at the angel and muttered, "Well, you're absolutely no fun."

Fin
