Angelica heard Dean and Castiel re-enter the warehouse and she noticed the stoic expressions on both guys.

'I wonder what they have planned…' Angelica thought to herself and tried to work the gag out of her mouth with her tongue and teeth. She realized with a hysterical snicker that she was actually eating through the gag but had to stop on the count of suffocating on a half-eaten gag in her throat. 'Oh yeah the OBIT for that would be fucking awesome!' Angelica grumbled silently trying not to think about the last time she died. Drowning and suffocating were now on her list of suckiest ways to die.

"We're going to ask you some questions and you're going to answer them…" Dean started calmly enough.

"I bet you'd love to know where that feisty gal is don't ya?" Alistair sneered at Castiel who growled angrily and Dean moved in between the two.

"I ask the questions here Demon!" Dean glared at Alistair.

"And what would you do if I said that I ate her?" Alistair ran his tongue across his bottom lip suggestively.

Angelica sighed tiredly and figured it was good thing he hadn't eaten her, but she was getting cold from this damn cement floor. She noticed Dean pour some salt into some holy water and dip the blade of a knife into the jar of salty holy water. She actually winced in empathy.

'That's going to hurt like Hell!'

Dean slammed the blade into Alistair's shoulder and he gave out a harsh cry of pain, then laughed out loud.

"I thought I taught you better than this kid." Alistair taunted Dean. "By the way while I killed that little bitch, I learned she was a screamer."

Castiel let out a howl of anger and lunged for the Demon in front of him. Dean put up his arm and gave Cas a worried look.

"Hey…uhm…Cas I never thought I'd say this…but I think you're too close to this. Just go back outside and do whatever the Hell it is you Angel guys do…" Dean offered quietly and Angelica rolled her eyes at her cousin's antics.

Castiel looked over at Dean and nodded and swept out of the warehouse with the ruffling of feathers. Angelica blinked in surprise that Castiel had taken Dean's' advice.

'Jeez what has gotten into him?'

Angelica spent the time while Dean tortured the shit out of Alistair trying to follow where that pipe had led. It was odd that the spigot had moved by itself and she wanted to know where it went. Finally she found where the pipe ended and frowned worriedly seeing a small hairline fracture in the pipe steady dripping water onto part of the Devil's Trap. Angelica paled at what that meant.

'If they don't get the information of whatever they need before that water breaks the trap then there is going to be some serious shit hit the fan.'

"Your father never broke under the torture Dean. And after only 40 years you crumbled apart. How's it feel to be the reason the apocalypse started?"

Angelica heard that and her eyes darted back to the scene in surprise. Dean had frozen at the words and then glared at the trapped Demon.

"Oh I'm pretty sure it was your side that started it." Dean smirked sarcastically.

"You poor little moron, the first Seal was you. When the righteous man kills within Hell it started the whole thing. Sorry you had to learn this way." Alistair grinned looking completely opposite of sorry.

"You're lying…" Dean snapped at him and drove the blade into Alistair again. Alistair gave out another scream of pain but then smiled in a creepy fashion at Dean.

"And you want to know what else Dean?" Alistair leaned forward and grinned evilly at the oldest Winchester boy. "Your cousin was closer than you think. She's been here the whole time I've been trapped…"

Dean's face paled and then his eyes narrowed angrily.

"Where is she?" Dean growled angrily.

"She's a little tied up right now. Over there on the floor, I put an Illusion Tarp on her, you remember those don't you? Of course you do…you invented it after all…" Alistair laughed in delight when Dean turned around and saw a circle drawn on the floor.

Dean frowned and finally noticed the symbols on the circle were the same ones he created to keep a creature locked in one place while an invisibility shield covered them. His own creation during his time in Hell was now back to bite him in the ass.

"Angel?" Dean asked quietly and realized in less than a second that turning your back on Alistair was never a good idea.

"Oh and also Dean, your Angelic Imbeciles need to learn to make a stronger trap…"

Dean turned around to face Alistair again only he was gone. Dean looked over and saw that a small part of the trap had been erased due to water dripping onto it.

"Son of a Bitch!" Dean cursed before Alistair reappeared behind him and proceeded to beat the shit out of Dean.

'DEAN!' Angelica tried to scream for her cousin but the damn trap prevented her to move anything except her eyes.

During all of this Castiel stood outside unable to listen to the screams of the Demon, Dean was torturing. He was confused about how Alistair's words of Angelica had gotten to him. Was he more upset that Alistair called her a Bitch? Or, was he more upset that he said he had killed her? The light bulbs above him flickered a little and he honed in on the presence that followed and he knew that particular Grace and he sighed to himself not wanting to put up with Anael right now.

"Anael…" Castiel greeted quietly just wanting him to leave. He had attempted to sound cold. But Anael only smiled at him like they knew something he didn't.

"Hello, Castiel."

Castiel turned around and was momentarily surprise when he saw that Anael had reappeared inside their female vessel. "Your human body…" He started to speak but the Vessel Anna just shrugged.

"It was destroyed, I know." Anna admitted with a nod causing her red hair to sway from her face. "But I guess I'm sentimental. Called in some old favors and..." She gestured to herself, smirking.

Castiel flinched slightly when another scream came from Alistair from within the warehouse. Anna gave him a sad expression but he ignored it.

"You shouldn't be here. We still have orders to kill you." He informed his friend but Anna kept staring at him.

"Somehow I don't think you'll try. Where's Uriel?" She asked quietly knowing that Castiel was in inner turmoil and not just because of Dean Winchester was torturing a Demon. But as soon as Anna spoke Uriel's name Castiel became angry at being knocked down a peg on the pecking order and having to answer to that blaspheming dick of an Angel.

"He went to receive revelation." Castiel offered after he calmed his nerves down once more. He figured out a little later that being around the Winchester and Angelica so much that he had to calm himself more and more. Dean confused him to the point where he became frustrated, Sam on a good idea annoyed him with his puppy eyes that spelled doom for anybody on the receiving end. Then there was Angelica, he didn't know why he wanted to break things, and smite the Hell out of anybody that caused her harm but it couldn't be a good thing.

"Right…" Anna rolled her eyes sarcastically. "Cas, why are you letting Dean do this?"

"He's doing GOD's work." Castiel insisted quietly while he thought about how he had yelled at Gabriel when he had kissed Angelica on the cheek.

Anna frowned seeing Castiel wasn't really paying attention to the discussion at hand and she had to get him back on verbal track.

"Torturing? That's God's work? Stop him, Cas, please! Before you ruin the one real weapon you have."

"Who are we to question the will of GOD?" Castiel asked finally drawing out of his inner battle of wits and he looked at Anna who sighed in reply.

"Unless this isn't His will." She offered quietly and Castiel glowered at her angrily before he became confused again as he thought about it.

"Then where do the orders come from?"

"I don't know. One of our superiors, maybe, but not Him." She paused, inching closer. "The Father you love, you think He wants this? You think He'd ask this of you? You think this is righteous?"

Castiel heard every word Anna spoke and felt like he had the carpet pulled from under him. He loved the Father, he loved his brother's and sister's but where did the line begin to blur? Over who to trust compared to whose orders to follow. He heard Alistair scream again in the warehouse and for once he was at a loss for words.

"What you're feeling?" Anna quietly spoke again and touched Castiel's arm. "It's called doubt." She waited a second for her words to sink in, she then continued in a hopeful voice. "These orders are wrong and you know it. But you can do the right thing. You're afraid, Cas, I was too. But together, we can still—"

"Together?" Castiel asked harshly as he roughly shook her hand off of his arm. He backed away from his friend glaring. "I am nothing like you. You fell." He glared at her. "Go." He ordered her to leave.

"Cas…" Anna said, taking a step toward him, but stopped when she saw the look on his face.

"Go…" He said, his voice was deathly quiet, and she sighed but left. Alastair continued to scream from within the warehouse.

After a while Castiel noticed that there were no sounds coming from within the warehouse and he wasn't sure that was good. He quickly entered the main room and found that Alistair was loose and Dean was nearly dead on the ground. Castiel went to stab the Demon in the heart but found he couldn't move from the spot he stood at. His face turned into confusion when he looked down and noticed he was standing in a circle and this circle was preventing him from moving. Alistair turned around and grinned smugly at him.

"Aw what's a matter can't move?" He taunted the Angel and Castiel glowered at the Demon wanting nothing more than to rip him apart slowly. "Interesting design right? One of the lesser Demons came up with it, he called it an Angel Trap. Whereas Dean created the trap right here…" Alistair knelt beside a different circle. "Dean called it an Illusion Tarp." Alistair patted something solid inside the circle and Castiel heard some soft fabric being moved. "You never even knew she was here…" Alistair sneered and removed the invisible shield.

Castiel stared at Angelica who was bound and gagged in the middle of the circle and the anger that shot through his body was insurmountable. Alistair smirked triumphantly at his captives.

"Ever since you caught me here, she's been right here…" He took out the gag and that released the dam of obscenities.

"WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU? YOU THINK YOU CAN JUST FUCKING KEEP A HUMAN BEING IN ONE SPOT AND EXPECT THAT HUMAN TO BE FUCKING OKAY?" Angelica took in a breath and continued. "YOU ARE SUCH A FUCKING ASSHOLE AND I CAN'T FUCKING WAIT TO FUCKING KILL You! YOU STUPID FUCKING BASTARD!"

Alistair just shot Castiel a bemused smirk and he noticed the Angel's wide eyes at hearing such insults from her mouth.

"And now you know why I had to gag her…anyway…" Alistair grinned evilly one more time. "Since you can't move, and she can't move…I think this is a perfect time to get to know each other don't you?"

Both Castiel and Angelica gave Alistair a worried look then they looked at each other worriedly. Alistair knelt down again and lightly ran his hand through Angelica's hair making her whine in disgust.

"Stop touching me you parasitic dickhead!"

"Oh I don't think so…" Alistair smirked then light ran his tongue against her cheek making her squeal in despair.

"EW KNOCK IT OFF!" Angelica whined but she saw Castiel struggle within his circle and she looked over and noticed the look of pure fury settling over his features.

"Nope sorry darling." Alistair cooed into her ear and tried to turn her head away. Alistair lightly lowered his hand down the front of her body. He went between her breasts but still continued downward.

"STOP!" She screamed starting to panic at what was about to happen.

"TAKE YOUR HANDS OFF OF HER THIS MINUTE YOU VILE ABOMINATION!" Castiel screamed infuriated with this situation. "Release her or I will end you!" Castiel growled from his spot in the circle and Alistair snickered amusedly.

"And what are you going to do about it?" He asked tauntingly. Alistair finally rested his hand between Angelica's thighs and he smirked devilishly. "Aw how cute, waiting for Mr. Right are we?" He asked her condescendingly then grinned over at Castiel. "Look at that, it's a bonus when they're untouched…"

Alistair was about to kiss Angelica when Castiel felt the fury manifest itself through his body and directly into his Grace. He felt it spill outward and his voice, his TRUE VOICE ripped out of the vessel causing all of the windows to blow out as well as the lights breaking and Alistair fell away from Angelica holding his head in pain.

Angelica stared at Castiel in fear unable to speak. Sam and Ruby came breaking through the door and Sam raised his hand making Alistair fly back into the nearest wall.

"Stupid pet tricks." Alistair smirked at Sam who held Alistair against the wall without even touching him. Alistair started choking a small amount of black smoke came leaking out of his mouth.

"Horn Humper!' Angelica hollered over to Ruby hurriedly and the female Demon moved to her side. "Do something about this damn circle!" Angelica growled angrily and Ruby nodded and ran some water from the pipe across the line breaking the spell. Angelica rolled away from the circle thankfully. "I'm starting to hate fucking circles!" She griped and Ruby snickered at her antics.

Angelica soaked up some water with a cleaning rag and hurried over to the circle holding Castiel. As soon as she managed to break one of the lines Castiel reached down and grabbed her to him in a tight hug. Angelica was surprised that he grabbed her into a hug. He's never initiated a hug before but he was practically squeezing the life out of her right now. He had his face pressed against her neck and he just hugged her.

"Are you unharmed?" He finally asked and Angelica pried herself out of his arms.

"Yeah pretty much, unless you count the boredom I suffered through…"

"WHO'S MURDERING THE ANGELS? HOW ARE THEY DOING IT?" Sam shouted angrily at Alistair who choked on the black smoke.

"I don't know!" He gasped for air but Sam glared at him.

"I don't believe you…"

"IT'S NOT US! WE'RE NOT DOING IT!"

"Right…" Sam smirked angrily at his prey.

"Lilith isn't behind it! She wouldn't kill seven Angels! She'd kill a hundred, a thousand…" Alistair smirked through the pain. "Oh, go ahead. Send me back, if you can." Alistair saw Sam raising his hand again. But Sam smirked back at him coldly.

"I'm stronger than that now. Now I can kill."

Sam held out his hand and a couple flashes of light coursed through Alistair's body and the guy he was hiding inside fell to the ground dead.

"Now that's what I call a Betazoid!" Angelica admitted with a smirk and Sam spun and finally saw her.

"ANGEL EYES!" He shouted and scooped her up into a tight hug.

"GAH SAM!" Angelica whined from the death grip. "BREAKING THE RIBS! TOOO TIGHT!" She rasped against his chest.

"You have no idea how hard we've been trying to find you…" Sam admitted quietly.

"Yeah I do, Ruby kept me updated especially about…Sam I'm sorry about Pamela."

"We can talk later right now we need to get Dean to the Hospital." Sam mussed up her hair and hugged her again. "Cas can you teleport us?" Sam asked curiously and Castiel nodded silently.

"I will transport you all but I need to stay here and find out why the trap broke. It should not have broken, I made it…and there's not a chance it broke accidentally." Castiel admitted not taking his eyes off of Angelica.

Angelica turned to Castiel and she flushed at the staring he was doing.

"I'm fine really…also…I don't know what it means, but from the circle I saw the valve handle over there turn by itself." Castiel followed her gesture and saw the spigot and nodded. Then he sent everybody to the hospital so they could help Dean.

Angelica sat beside Dean's bed while Sam went back to their motel for some shut eye and to thank Ruby for her help. Angelica heard feathers ruffling and she was lifted off of her chair in a tight hug around her midsection.

"Nice to see ya Sweet Cheeks!"

Angelica sighed in relief and when the arms let her go she turned to the Archangel.

"Gabriel…" She smirked but he pulled her into another hug.

"You had everyone damn worried about you little lady." Gabriel sighed in relief and gave her another squeeze before letting her go again.

"Even you…you big bad Archangel?" Angelica asked sassily and Gabriel rolled his eyes.

"Yes even me…" He admitted quietly and Angelica frowned sadly at him. "We couldn't sense you anywhere! Do you even know how scary and frustrating that is? Even for an Angel of my stature?"

"I'm sorry I worried you guys."

"Just don't let this happen again…I don't think Cas can handle you disappearing again." He talked a while with Angelica before leaving because Dean was waking up.

"Ow…" Dean whined miserably from the bed.

"Aw poor wittle Squishy…" Angelica smirked at her big cousin whose eyes bolted open and he tried to sit up only to fall back on the hospital bed with a whine of pain. "Not one of your brightest moves…" Angelica patted his head lightly but he swatted her hand away.

"Are you okay Angel?" He asked quietly and she smirked at him sadly.

"Still alive so yeah I guess so." Angelica shrugged and Dean reached up and pulled her into an awkward one armed hug. "Oh I annoyed the Hell outta my Demon guard. When Ruby showed up the second time he fled the room and gave her guardship for awhile. Also, I called Alistair Allie to his face and that was just priceless…"

Dean let out a loud laugh then grunted in pain.

"So you heard everything that was said? About how I created that circle trap you were in." Dean looked at her guiltily. Angelica nodded in response and Dean frowned sadly before letting some tears fall.

"Yeah I heard it, and I gotta say that shit is genius!" She admitted and Dean gave her a startled look. "I mean think about it Squishy!" Angelica stood up and made grand gestures with her hands. "it is the perfect security system! All families can go to sleep safely knowing that if anybody breaks in they'll be caught in that circle! We should completely patent and sell it! We'd be fucking millionaires and then we could hire people to do the hunting for us!"

Dean blinked at her silently then he burst into laughter.

"GOD Angel, I've missed your sense of humor."

Suddenly they both look over and saw Castiel in the room and he sat beside Dean's bed.

"You're injured!" Angelica started slightly and moved to the Angel's side and he waved her away.

"I'll heal…"

"But these aren't the ones from before! What happened?" Angel gave him a worried look and he couldn't return her look and kept looking at Dean.

"How are you doing?" He asked Dean who glared at the Angel.

"No thanks to you…" dean snapped bitingly.

"dean…" Angelica warned him.

"You all need to be more careful." Castiel looked down to the floor.

"You need to manage a damn Devil's Trap!" Dean argued back but Angelica smacked him in the head.

"The spigot turned by itself Dean. The water broke the trap it wasn't anything the Angels did…"

Castiel sighed in despair before he looked up at the two of them.

"That's not what I mean. Uriel is dead."

"Was it the demons?" Dean asked and Angelica gave Castiel an odd look.

"It was disobedience. He was working against us." Castiel admitted that Uriel had been the one to turn the spigot breaking the trap. Dean looked down at his lap unsure how to proceed with this.

"Is it true? Did I break the first seal? Did I start all this?"

"Yes. When we discovered Lilith's plan for you, we laid siege to hell and we fought our way to get to you before you…"

"Jump-started the apocalypse." Dean ended bitterly and Angelica patted her cousin's head before rubbing his shoulder.

"And we were too late." Castiel admitted regretfully. Dean looked up at him with a lost expression.

"Why didn't you just leave me there, then?"

"It's not blame that falls on you, Dean, it's fate. The righteous man who begins it is the only one who can finish it. You have to stop it."

"Lucifer? The apocalypse? What does that mean?" Dean asked point blank and saw Castiel make the face that he did before he disappeared. "Hey! Don't you go disappearing on me, you son of a bitch. What does that mean?"

Castiel looked down and admitted quietly. "I don't know."

"Bull." Dean challenged angrily unwillingly to believe that nobody knew anything anymore.

"I don't. Dean, they don't tell me much. I know our fate rests with you." Castiel admitted trying so hard to make Dean see what he meant.

"Well, then you guys are screwed. I can't do it, Cas. It's too big. Alastair was right. I'm not all here. I'm not strong enough. Well, I guess I'm not the man either of our dads wanted me to be. Find someone else. It's not me. I'm done with you guys, I'm done with everything!" Dean started to cry and Angelica lightly kissed his forehead.

"Come on Squishy it could be worse…you could've been graced instead with looks that rivaled Allie in the 'oh my GOD I want to burn out my own eyes' category."

Dean gave her a sad smirk and looked over to Castiel.

"Cas, get her back to the Motel Room and make sure she's gets some rest."

"I will do that Dean…" Castiel nodded and he took Angelica's shoulder and they were gone.

Angelica felt something twitching in her shoulder when they got back to the room. She looked over to Castiel who was trying to shift his shoulders and his face was in discomfort.

"Hey what's up?" She asked quietly and he stopped moving.

"Nothing is the matter." He admitted as he looked back at her.

"I can see you almost dancing around like you're trying to get something out of your clothes like sand in somebody's shoes. So what's up?"

"I have debris lodged in my wings…" Castiel admitted embarrassedly. "During the fight with Uriel he threw me through a wall. I believe it is pieces of cement and drywall. And yes it is irritating that I can't dislodge it from my feathers."

"Okay on the bed…" Angelica told him and he gave her a startled look. "You want the crap to stay lodged in your feathers or not?"

Castiel gave her a nervous expression.

"My wings can't be seen by humans…" He admitted stuttering slightly.

"Well I saw Zachariah's when I first met him. He proclaimed himself an Angel of the Lord and asked for some ID and he popped those darn things out and that was enough for me…"

"Nobody's ever touched them before…." Castiel offered worriedly.

"Listen you're obviously in discomfort now I offer to help so sit your ass down on the bed!"

Castiel gave her a shocked expression but sat on the bed.

"Okay so uhm…" Angelica was now nervous, she'd never cleaned up a winged creature before. "Get comfortable?" She offered worriedly and Castiel took off the trench coat and his dress shirt leaving on the undershirt. "Huh, that's useful, you cut slits in the undershirt so your wings could come through."

Castiel looked back at her with a scared expression and she sighed.

"Come on it's not like I'm going to pluck off your feathers…" She gave him a stern look when he edged away in fear. "Stop moving…" She snapped at him and he froze.

It took an hour but she finally got all of the little pieces of debris out of his wings and feathers. He put his dress shirt back on and shrugged his trench coat back on. Angelica gave him a small smile when she saw the bright red color in his cheeks.

"That wasn't so bad right?"

"I thank you for your help Angelica…" He admitted quietly looking away embarrassedly. "Could we please not tell your cousins that I had debris lodged in my wings? It's a very embarrassing ordeal for an Angel…"

"My lips are sealed…"

"They can't be sealed, you are talking to me…" Castiel gave her a confused head tilt and she snickered lightly.

"I meant your secret is safe with me…" Angelica tried again. "So when we were stuck in those damn circles that was a pretty loud yowl you gave out."

"Yowl?" Castiel asked confused again.

"Your true voice right?" Angelica asked quietly and Castiel looked away embarrassed again and he nodded.

"That Demon was going to take something important from you…"

"Well it stopped him from doing anything because Sam came in shortly after, so thanks."

"I must be going, things need to be dealt with in Heaven and Uriel's betrayal needs to be discussed." Castiel placed a thankful kiss to her forehead and disappeared.

Angelica sighed when he left.

'Gabriel could you come here I have a question…'

_About what Sweet Cheeks?_ Gabriel questioned.

'Please just come here…it's very important…'

"What's up?" Angelica jumped in surprise hearing Gabriel right behind her.

"You guys need bells or something…" She grumbled before turning around to see her friend looking at her worriedly.

"Was that the question?" Gabriel smirked when she sighed in frustration.

"No." Angelica bit her lip worriedly. "What does it mean when a person can suddenly hear an Angel's true voice?"

"Yeah little bro told me he let out a scream in that warehouse…don't let it worry you too much…"

"NO!" Angelica stopped Gabriel from talking anymore. "I mean that within the high pitched ringing that goes on when you guys talk I HEARD THE WORD NO WITHIN IT!" Angelica ended with a scared expression. "Now tell me what it means when you can suddenly hear and understand what an Angel says in their true voice!" Gabriel gaped at her in surprise and his mouth was open in shock.

"I'm…not sure…" He admitted quietly.
