Disclaimer: Naruto and Supernatural are not mine we all know this.
Inner Evil: Here you have it guys another update. I'm glad people are starting to like the story so far. I will admit that updates have been slow I haven't written the end so the next chapter might take a little longer. AlecLightwoodMagnusBane and XxsayxX thanks guys.
Overlandcoast50: I'm glad you like it. I do think Naruto deserves much better and don't worry he will get it.
:-raynaldy- I think your ideas are better suited to another story and it's definitely giving me ideas which for someone with multiple projects in the works it is not a good thing. I have an idea for Kurama keeping with the theme of Sentinels and Guides (spoiler) I love the idea of Cas and Dean having a rival not sure if I would make Benny that rival as I like the friendship between him and Dean, I have to think about who it could be from either universe.
Mr (Guest): I had to look up the song to get a refresher and I so agree…LOL…Hopefully its more do to the excitement than amusement at more poorly written smut. I'm a proud New Yorker and couldn't help but add something that is a big part of me into the story I'm glad you notice and like it. It also helps me to clear up some misconceptions about New Yorkers. I'm glad you like it.
Life is not fair but Karma is
The next day started bright an early for Naruto he made sure to bathe and wear his best clothes so he picked a pair of black jeans that were a little tight since they were old, he also decided to pick the button up that Iruka gave him for interviews which was also a little tight so he left open with a black t-shirt inside. With shoes he didn't have a lot of options just some orange and blue sneakers and some black ones and lastly blue sandals. He put on the black sneakers trying to look cleaned up semi-professional. It was a gym so he tried to also look fit but most importantly he packed a bag with whatever he could fit in it, so his special memory box with the only picture he had of his parents, some ramen cups, clothes, shoes, toiletries, phone charger, a big bottle of water and anything else he could fit in.
After having breakfast he looked around the placed that was his home since he came to the states and he felt some nostalgia, once again he was back on the streets but like before he will survive this and keep going forward. The landlord gave him until the end of the week and it was Thursday so he doubts the man would wait until Friday especially since he was dying to get rid of him. He looked around the small studio that was home and all the things he had to leave behind that he would most likely not see again.
"Damn it! I hoped I wouldn't have to do this again."
His cerulean eyes got misty and sad "when am I going to find an actual home?" With a sigh Naruto turned to his default setting the big fake smile that had gotten him through life so far. "Oh good morning dear, are you going on a trip?" Mrs. Filler smiled coming back from checking the mail although it was too early for delivery "Good morning O bāchan, you could say that. Hopefully I come back from this trip." Luckily the old Omega was hard of hearing "that's nice Dear, you remind me of my Alpha always wanting to get up and go." She gave him a sweet smile before kissing his cheek and entering her apartment.
"I see you're not as stupid as you look brat."
Naruto glares at the man that hates him for reasons that the blond can't control "Yes well I'm working with unfair demands." The man just smirked it was obvious that this was how he felt strong, like an Alpha by bullying Betas because he's too weak to bully other Alphas "I like to believe that I was more than fair, I gave you a place to stay Beta when I should have left you in the streets were you belong." Naruto was pissed and he remembered how Claire always told him to stand up for himself "and I gave you money so don't pretend that you did me any favors…" Naruto walked by the now angry man "…Oh and a real Alpha is strong because he can beat other Alphas not insignificant Betas." The man turned bright red anger in his face and Naruto knew that he was right. "Give me your key! You will not be returning here."
"Fine I don't need it; just know that someday a REAL Alpha will put you in your place which a little hint is definitely not above me."
Naruto threw the keys and ran before the man could explode because while he was older and fat he was still an Alpha and by nature still much stronger than a Beta when feral or angry. He ran until he reached the train station and got on the train breathing heavily from the run. He was lucky enough to find a seat before the train filled up and the busy stops came but his luck ran out when a pregnant Omega got on the train and he had to give his seat up, don't get him wrong he doesn't mind but there are days like today that he doesn't feel like being nice instead he feels like just being that jerk that everyone thinks New Yorkers are 'everyone has bad days'. He will have to see about staying at a homeless shelter tonight and hope that one had room. He couldn't believe that again this was his life; he thought when he left the village that he would be free of the constant scavenging and begging for scraps.
"Chikushō!"
In another part of the city two Alphas were still dead to the world both covered in marks and exhausted from the activities that just ended a few hours ago. It was one hell of a night of pleasure for both of them and they were both happy with ignoring the world and continue to drift into dream land but it was not to be as Castiel's phone woke them both up
"Living easy, living free
Season ticket on a one-way ride
Asking nothing, leave me be
Taking everything in my stride
Don't need reason, don't need rhyme
Ain't nothing I would rather do
Going down, party time
My friends are gonna be there too"
Normally he would ignore it but this was the ring tone that Dean put on his other phone "Cas you are a badass you need a badass theme song" he didn't really cared about that but he realized it help differentiate between his work/personal phone and his other business phone. His people knew not to bother him at certain times with business so when that phone rang he knew it was important and he needed to take care of it so with a groan he reached out his arm but remembered that Dean took off his clothes and left them downstairs "Urgh!" A tan hand padded his chest "don't worry I'll get it" Dean gave him a kiss on the head before getting up in all his naked toned glory –giving Castiel a brief show- and walked out.
He knew he had to get up especially if he was being call to take care of some business but his muscles were not cooperating. Dean walked back to the room with the phone that just began ringing again "It's Pamela; I'll prep you a bath." His mate passed him the phone this time kissing him good morning before heading to the bathroom and Castiel waited until he was gone to pick up
"What is it?"
Dean knew about this part of his life but they agreed that he would remain uninvolved unless otherwise needed. "Boss sorry to call you so early but we got an issue with some tourist." Castiel finally willed his body to get up before walking naked out of the room using his senses to check Claire wasn't in "Pamela don't tell me that you called me for a simple problem with tourist, where's Hannah?" Incompetence was one of the things that angered him more than anything especially when he expect more from the person like he does from Pamela
"Well Boss these are not just any tourist these are your favorite, it seems that they have had a secret operations with one of the families in the area."
At this Castiel straighten up beginning to understand the reason for this call, if what Pamela said is true than this could mean a lot of blood is about to get spilled "and Hannah?" He asked again "she is keeping things calm until you give orders." Castiel knew that this could quickly escalate but that's not what he cared about he was used to bloodshed no what he cared about was the disrespect. "I will be there is a few hours, tell her to get all the facts and keep me updated."
"You got it Boss we will tame the flame while you get some action."
The sassy woman hung up before Castiel could respond a smile on his face, her blunt yet sassy nature was one of the reasons Castiel choose her for this job she reminded him of a female version of Dean. "Everything okay?" arms wrapped around his waist and he felt his mate nuzzle his neck "It will be just some kids pretending to be adults." Castiel turned around and went to kiss his mate but was stopped "I just brushed my teeth you're going to give me your morning breath. I set a bath for you not sure if you'll have time" Castiel rolled his electric blue eyes at the morning breath statement "there always time for a nice bath especially after the night I've had" Dean smirked and looked at his mate's marked body with a possessive look in his eyes "don't even think about it" Castiel exclaimed walking away "you are using the shower while I take a bath" Dean couldn't help but pout but still followed after his mate to take a shower while his mate took a bath.
The Angels family is a very old Russian-Polish family that had been in Europe for many centuries and like any family that old they have history, a history that is not all filled with good deeds and hard work. It was said that one of the first Angels was a thief and petty criminal that taught their kids the trade. For many years Angels were a family of criminals and thief, bandits that took what they pleased. It wasn't until an Omega -the first Omega born into the family and Castiel's namesake- used his brain and redefined the family trade make it into a real business.
From there their empire grew and the family became feared and respected by the rich and the poor. After that the head of the family was always the first Omega born to the previous head as they believed that Omegas were smarter and more inconspicuous also with so much adultery going on at the time an Angels Omega was the only one that could guarantee the offspring was a true Angels. That was how things were for a while until for reasons unknown the Angels fell off the map in the Underworld.
It was a dark time as old families began rebelling trying to take power; some say that the Angels were the original mafia. Before War World II Castiel's great grandfather Michael I, brought life back to the old family trade using it to oppose tyranny and protect those being persecuted. He learned of his past and also learned that the family business was never gone it was just sleeping so he woke it up stronger than ever. He demanded respect and left bloodshed for those who didn't give it, he re-built the empire with those he saved and installed people inside every mafia as his informant.
He was the first Alpha to become the Boss in centuries and the first one to dip his toes into politics. By the time he fled to America he was a powerful and feared man leaving informants in the Nazis and bringing information to the allied forces while his wife Luciell grew her fashion business. By the time his children were ready to take over the Angels family mafia was back and stronger than ever and he was nickname "Papa" by all other criminal organizations. His daughter Amara who took over made sure that the new faces knew and respected the Angels name by then she and her twin brother James divided the family empires he took care of the legal growing fashion empire while she took care of the illegal also growing crime empire.
Charles "Chuck" Angels son of James took over the fashion empire when his father died while Amara still strong continued the dark side of the family. When Chuck's children were born Amara choose Castiel to take over for her with the idea that Michael will take care of the legal business to keep them both separated as was her mother's wishes. With the death of Michael and Lucifer not wanting anything to do with either business, Raphael also dead and Gabriel running off Castiel was left to take over both sides of the family businesses managing to keep them separated.
He had been trained by his grandmother to take over the underworld but the legal business was a little harder so he went to school and study. Luckily a few years later Gabriel returned with his tail between his legs apologizing and while he refused to take charge he took some of the weight from both businesses of Castiel's shoulder.
Castiel soon became known as "God" for his almost all knowing all powerful persona, he was someone fair and just but also someone that could be even more ruthless than his grandmother or great grandfather have ever been. He had a dark side to him that no one wanted to bring out and his talent for knowing everything that goes down anywhere made him impossible to betray those who tried lived to tell the tale but wish they didn't. Now with Castiel in charge the dark side of the family businesses dealt with political crimes that protected human rights –dethroning dictator, starting coup, arming rebels…ect- something that his great grandfather was passionate about after having to flee Poland with his Jewish mate to escape Nazis.
Very few outside the family knew of the business only Dean as his mate, Sam and Jess as Gabriel's mates, Tenten his administrative assistant at Angels International, and Charlie and Meg who were his best friends. Castiel decided to dress in a charcoal gray three piece suit with a white shirt and a blue tie that made his eyes glow an electric blue like flashing lightning, some oxfords and his favorite cologne finished off the look. Heading downstairs he saw his mate in the kitchen setting breakfast he knew that Dean was feeling a little guilty for losing control last night he always prepares a big breakfast as an apology
"Breakfast is rea…Damnnnn Cas if you weren't already mine…"
Castiel smirked as his mate checked him out he knew the way he look with a smile and a kiss "lucky for you I am yours." Castiel reassured his mate before sitting down with his plate, Dean was still a little turn on by his mate's hotness 'damn right I'm lucky' Dean knew that every day, Castiel was a catch and Dean was lucky to have been allow to lay claim when they were still young and no one cared because if he tried now he was not sure he would have made the mark.
"Is it safe?"
Called a voice by the door but before she was given an answer Hunter marched in like he owned the place sniffing around trying to see why he had to stay away but quickly smelling the scent of his two humans mating and sneezing a little at the strong scent. This made Dean blushed and Castiel smiled, Claire smirked as she walked in and took Bee out of the carrier so the cat could also smell around "what are you doing here? Don't you have class?" The girl sat down waiting for her plate "Yea but there was no way I was missing Dean's 'I lost control and I'm sorry breakfast' it's always over the top" Dean looked confuse at the name "I don't have a 'I lost control and I'm sorry breakfast' thing" Castiel looked as his mate and Dean couldn't help but pout at the lack of support
"you kind of do"
"I don't!"
"So what's in the oven?"
Dean was silence by the question he could see the twin smirks on Castiel and Claire's face as they raised their eyebrows knowing he had lost and he would have to admit defeat but if they though he was going to give them the win they were wrong. "I made some Orange and Cranberry muffins for Naruto so we can take them when we see him today." He just pulled that one out his ass and they all knew it which made Dean more indignant so he decided to be spiteful "just for that I am giving the rest of the bacon to someone who will appreciated, come here Hunter."
He put three pieces of bacon in the excited dog's food bowl knowing that he couldn't give it all to him but is was the principal of the matter 'goddammit' before going to the room to change leaving a smirking Claire and a smiling Cas. He wasn't really angry in fact he was happy this was his family and teasing was part of what made them great sometimes it was him and Claire against Cas and sometimes it was he and Cas against Claire but at the end of the day they loved each other and Dean wouldn't have it any other way. "So what happened last night?" He heard Claire ask Castiel and toned down his hearing because he did not feel he could deal with reliving the events yet without getting pissed off again.
"So Uncle Cas please tell me you guys are paying Naruto a visit, can I come?"
"No"
"Why?"
"We don't want to overwhelm him, plus this is just so that he meets Cas."
"And you have classes"
That seemed to stop any further questions that the young Omega might have had and the three sat down in silence Castiel checking a few business and personal emails on his personal phone. Dean sat to finish his breakfast while Claire put the dishes in the dish washer and prepared her bag for school. She also took three of the Orange and Cranberry muffins while Dean was eating, the Alpha pretended not to see her. "I got to go I have baking class first thing. Tell me how the meeting goes" She rushed out saying goodbye not forgetting to say bye to the four legged members of the family, Hunter walked her to the door before coming back almost as if informing them that she left
"Yea I know boy she'll be back later."
Castiel reassured the dog by giving him a pat on the head. "It looks like the Arch Angels Gallery was a huge success…" Castiel looked up at Dean who had been looking at his phone "…It's trending on social media." Dean saw the confused look in his mate's face and Dean could not help but look fondly at his mate's and his social awkwardness. Dean got up to take his plate and start the dish washer not before kissing the confuse face away from his mate "it's a good thing you have a social media team." Castiel rolled his eyes knowing that he was not always socially aware.
Once they were both done they were ready to head out to see the blond, looking at the address Dean realized that the blond lived in the Bronx which had lighter traffic than Manhattan so he decided to take his baby out so she could stretch out, maybe also it impress a certain blond but no one needed to know that. It felt like forever since his driven his girl and since it was past morning rush hour he could not miss the opportunity to bring her out.
Castiel smile indulgently at his mate as he watched him fuss over his car "Hey baby I know that I've left you alone for too long. I'm sorry girl, how about you and me go on a trip to the manor. I can give you a nice bath, huh what you think?" Castiel had to laugh Dean sounded like he was making plans with his significant other to go on trip "Will I be invited to this escapade? Or will this be a car and owner trip exclusively?" Castiel asked teasingly knowing the answer "not if you keep being a smartass." Castiel smirked and got in the car making sure not to slam the door even then he heard Dean mumble to the car about ungrateful mates but he ignored him. The drive was a little longer than expected but soon they were in front of the run down building neither of them liked the idea of the blond living in this dump.
"Is this it?"
"According to the address given by Ruby"
They both got out Dean making sure to lock his car well and watching anyone suspicious but despite the run down appearance Dean knew no one would dare touch his car and that was due to the man walking ahead of him. Castiel walked over to the building with his head high and a swagger as if the place belonged to him. That was one thing Dean admired about his mate Castiel seemed comfortable where ever he went, he didn't care what people though or what they perceived as normal.
Castiel was an imposing Alpha in his three piece designer suit yet he looked right at home in the hoods of the Bronx as he would look in the rich streets of Manhattan. Also he could see the recognition in the eyes of some of the thugs in the area, anyone that was involved in the criminal underworld knew who "God" was. Castiel was by the door about to press the buzzer when someone came over "Allow me sir" The man did some sort of trick and the door opened Castiel nodded before walking inside that was another thing about his mate he never said the words thank you in the underworld
"Thank you is a big word Dean it's only reserved for those who have done great deeds like a medal of valor this way they work harder for it and appreciated more when it comes."
And its true Dean has seen some of Castiel's gang practically wet themselves as Castiel actually thank them for something. He knows he shouldn't be impress or proud of his mate because it was a messed up tactic to keep 'soldiers' in their place and continue to push home the idea that Castiel was God but he couldn't help it, he was proud and impress maybe that meant that he was little messed up as well.
He followed Castiel inside not even looking at the guy still holding the door, this was not his world and he had no reason to interact with it. "This is the apartment on the paper." Dean walked forward nervous it was better that Naruto saw him first "Dean?" He realized he had just been standing there this was huge if Castiel did not like the blond than they were screw, back to the drawing board. Taking a deep breath he knocked and waited for a response. After a few minutes of nothing happening he knocked again with the same results
"maybe he's not home."
"Makes no sense Claire said he should be home."
"He no longer lives there."
They both turned to see the man that opened the door for them outside, he was obviously scared but seemed eager to please. By the scent Dean and Castiel could tell he was an Alpha low level but no third gender. Castiel stepped forward "what do you mean?" The man was remembering the conversation he heard this morning between the tiny blond and the landlord of this place. "Yea he was kicked out, couldn't pay his rent which if you asked me was a set up." This got Dean's interest and he spoke to the man for the first time "what do you mean?" The man looked at Dean as if trying to figure out who he was and if he was important "answer the question" the firm words from Castiel made him jump slightly "uh…re…rent isn't due til the end of the month but I herd the old man asking the tiny blond for it by the end of the week." (AN: sorry guys I tried to write my Bronx accent here don't think it really worked) Dean and Castiel looked at each other
"why?"
"My guess…he's one of those traditional asshole, you know."
"Are you able to open the door?"
The questioned surprised the man and Dean who both looked at the blank blue eyes, to the man Castiel gave nothing away but Dean could see that his mate was angry if there was one thing Castiel hated was those who believed that they were better than others or that a certain group of people were less than them. "I mean yea I can…the locks here ain't shit…but…" The man looked conflicted and Dean could feel for him it was not easy saying no when faced with Castiel's "God" persona.
"Get me the landlord."
Before Castiel could finish the sentence the man was gone leaving them alone in the dirty hallway. "Damn it seems the kid can't catch a break" Dean tried to calm down the situation, him losing control was bad, dangerous but not too bad but Castiel losing control was catastrophic. "Whether he is it or not Dean we must help him." Dean smiled; his mate had an act for adopting strays "I figured as much." It wasn't long before the man -who was really more of a teenager now that Dean looked at him- came back with a older Alpha "Are you interested in this unit?" a greasy smile and Dean hated this man immediately even his scent repulse the green eyed Alpha
"Open the door"
Was all Castiel said his electric blue eyes back to their blank expression but his tone left no room for debate. The man practically tripped over himself to open door "It is a nice studio apartment, great vantage point, with the necessities…" Dean stopped listening as he walked into the place that still looked lived in, there were dishes in the counters and clothes in the closet, the bed had sheets and there were still decorations as if someone tried to make the place homier. The asshole kicked Naruto out on the streets with no notice and the blond had to leave his things behind "you know it's against the law to evict a tenant without previous notice, right?" Dean glared at the greasy man that had been rambling about the place and froze at the Alpha's words he was starting to realize that these men were not interested in the place.
Castiel let his mate take care of the old Alpha while he looked around in the bathroom he saw some roaches scurry away as he turned on the lights, the shower had tiles falling apart and there was what looked like molded on the walls. He left the room disgusted, in the kitchen 'if it can be called that' the dishes in the counter looked like they had been washed that morning, the cupboards were filled with cup of noodles of all flavor, there were also Vienna sausage and some other things Castiel figured were to make the main dish of noodles more gourmet.
There were notes on the cupboard door 'Note to self: Ramen while delicious should not be my only meal' and then he saw more notes 'Note from self: but it has all the major food groups.' And then more 'Note to self: It is too much sodium.' There was a responses 'Note from self: but it's RAMEN!' all in the same handwriting and Castiel could not help but let out a laugh the blond was arguing with himself on post it over Ramen. "What is it?" Castiel looked up as Dean walked over he saw the man missing "I send him to get me Naruto's lease, probably going to also change his pants." Castiel smile at Dean's smirk "your blond is very entertaining." Dean raised an eye brow at the use of 'your' but ignored it when his mate pointed to the cupboard notes that made him laugh.
"Oh this is hilarious."
"It sounds like a conversation you and Sam might have over your love of pie."
"Hey! Pie is delicious and it does have all the major food groups."
"Dean I believe that's plagiarizing." Castiel pointed to the notes with a smile.
Dean pouted "I said it first." Arms cross although the mirth was still in his eyes.
Castiel continued to explore checking the fridge and seeing some fruits that have seen better days no notes unfortunately. He looked in the closet to see what the clothes left behind said about the blond. There was a lot of blues and oranges all second hand and thrift store finds which Castiel's inner fashionista cried over the fact that the blond had no fashion sense which just meant that he would have to get him a whole new wardrobe.
Castiel realized that he was thinking of a future with the blond he hasn't met yet maybe Dean has been influencing him too much. "Cas lets go" Dean called over the landlord was still not back but he realized it was a waste to be there the blond was not coming back today. They closed the door and walked out of the building not realize that they did not scent the inside until they got out. Dean walked over to the impala Castiel could tell that his mate was dishearten and he couldn't have that so he call over the young man from earlier "keep an eye on the place call this number if the tiny blond comes back" He gave the man his dark business number "yes sir" before walking over to the impala and getting in "Dean you are not one to give up." That was all that was needed and Dean's spirit was back
"You're right Cas"
In another part of the city a small slim Omega brunette with bangs was walking into a warehouse in Brooklyn filled with Alphas. Some began jeering at the delicate looking Omega in a pencil skirt and heels. But she seemed completely unbothered by this even going as far as turning her head up at them.
"What? You too good for us?"
"Come on sweets cheeks let me show you your place."
"I can give you a good knot like you're begging for."
They all laughed getting more vulgar with each stepped she took but the Omega gave them nothing 'I can't wait until Castiel gets rid of all these assholes; I really hope their boss was dumb enough to cross Castiel.' Finally one of the underbosses came over and recognized her; she made sure to show him how unimpressed she was with his men "SHUT UP!" The men were all shocked it seemed like they're not used to their boss correcting their disgusting behavior.
"Nice crew you have here. I felt quite welcome."
The man rushed over "Please forgive them, it's been long since they've seen a beautiful woman such as yourself they forget themselves." The Omega rolled her eyes everyone believed that because she was an Omega one little compliment would have her melt in their hands "that's not something you should be proud of; your enemies will not send ugly Alphas to infiltrate you." The man eyes widen he knew –and he hated it- that she was right but he didn't dare speak everyone knew that Seraph was God's right hand and as such she was not someone to be messed with.
"Where is your boss?"
The man tripped over himself and Hannah knew in that moment that the rumors were true this mafia was trying to ally themselves with the tourist coming in. "Tell him that he really does not want God to come in here instead of me…" The man and all his little soldiers freeze at the codename for the man who they have all grown to fear "…like you said I am prettier than him" Hannah smirked waiting for the cowards to fall in line.
'Too easy'
Castiel had Dean drop him off at the office before his mate headed in to work; he wanted to get some work done for Angels International before he tackled the other family business. Walking in he made sure to get into the CEO mindset it was the only way he could keep all facets of his life separate. "Good Morning Prime Sentinel Angels" The people began shouting their greeting as he walked by "Good Morning Alpha Angels" it vary everyday depending of the person and their beliefs. Unlike Dean, Castiel was not as social, lucky for him his staff knew him and didn't take the lack of respond personal. Unlike Dean's office which was in Midtown –the center of it all- Castiel's office was in the Financial District.
The building was seriously damaged during 9/11 and instead of repairing it was rebuilt better than ever just like the rest of the district. That was one thing that could never be deny about New Yorkers they were a resilient bunch and they loved sending a big 'fuck you' to those that have tried to jeopardize their way of life. It was one of the reasons Castiel loved the city so much and why he chose to stay despite many other countries and city rising in popularity for business development.
"Good Morning Sir"
Tenten greeted him as he reached his office "Here is the data on Arch Angels Gallery in Beverly Hills, sales and traffic so far…" She handed over some sheets that Castiel began looking at immediately, this project was his baby of course and he needed it to succeed. "…It looks good so far. The preparations for the Spring Ruler of Heaven fashion show in Paris are underway, the theme that was chosen this time was 'The roaring 20s' the designers have all been chosen and the designs show it should be ready by then…" She passed him a report with pictures and layout "I do not like the use of the word 'should be' get in contact with the head of our operations in Paris and tell them I want a definite answer by the end of the week." Castiel reached his desk and sat down still going over the papers given to him "Yes sir" Tenten wrote the notes down in her trusty notepad which is an admins best friend.
"Anything else?"
"You have a meeting with the social media team in charge of Arch Angels Gallery and one with Meg who is coming to talk about closing Purgatory back again for a few days."
"What? I thought it was ready to open, what happened?" Castiel did not look happy as it took them months to get the gym ready to open.
"Well according to her there was some issues that were not up to part for the Purgatory brand."
"Get in contact with the contractor and architect of the project see who dropped the ball."
"Right away sir"
With that the woman walked out the room leaving her boss to work while she made some calls and began running things from behind the scenes like every good admin does. Castiel got to work seeing the list of things that he had to take care of on top of everything Tenten told him. He had progress reports from the different departments, he checked sales reports making notes to follow up with his sales team, checked the financial report that Jessica sent over as well as Gabriel's report about operations from Chicago which had a note about coming to visit soon like always he ignored it.
He got a text on his other phone mid work 'It is confirmed' were the words which made Castiel sigh; he was hoping he wouldn't have to dirty the streets of New York today. He made a list of the things he would need to do today and sent a text to Dean 'playing in the mud today' it was their code for anytime Castiel had to personally deal with ' Bloody Mafia stuff' as Dean called it. 'Ok, don't drag mud in the house' Castiel smiled he was lucky to have a mate so understanding he just hoped his luck doesn't run out with his other mate 'I never do' He got up ready to go to his meeting with the social media team
'b safe. Love u'
Tenten was waiting at the door as he walked out 'I always am. I love you too.' The rest of the day for Castiel was pretty normal he was happy that Arch Angels was doing so well 'trending' as Dean said earlier. Reports all looked good so far and his video conference with Jess was very productive, unlike her mates Jess is not nosey but then again Castiel was sure that was because she always knew everything somehow. "Sir Meg is here to see you" Before Castiel could say anything the brunette Omega walked in as if she owned the place "Clarence! How was sunny California?" She looked at him "you didn't even get a tan." She sounded disappointed and Castiel smiled as Tenten started the coffee machine in his office.
Meg was one of his best friends he met the Omega in college and he fiery spirit and outgoing personally drew him in, a massive contrast to Castiel's own reserve and quite one. She reminded him of Dean although it was a little awkward at first since the girl developed feelings for him; it was all good once Dean introduced her to her mate Charlie. "Meg I told you I don't tan I burn." This got a laugh like it always does, they talked as they waited until Tenten passed around the coffee for Meg and her and the tea for Castiel. "So tell me what is this about closing Purgatory back up? I thought it was running perfectly, traffic was good."
"It was and people seemed to like it…"
"So what happened?"
"I had the monthly progress report conference with the managers in the branches of Australia, Vienna and California comparing the New York one to those I realized that its not up to par. It was falling behind majorly."
"Meg it had only been open for a few days…"
"Yes, but this was not about membership or traffic, it was on equipment, technology and comfort."
The woman went on to highlight the discrepancies in the designs and the corners that were cut as they used a new architect for this Purgatory. Meg also highlighted the cost it would take and for how long it would be closed. She was very prepared for the meeting with statistics and comments from customers of all branches. Tenten agreed on some of the aspect needed as a previous gym rat and MMA fighter she could see the customer point of view, she like Meg has also been to the other three gyms plus the new one and could tell the difference. The meeting ended with Castiel agreeing to have the gym close back up and gave Meg a week to get it done.
As the days duties were whining down Castiel began getting into the mindset of God as he knew that he couldn't postpone the situation any longer. "Tenten blackout for a few minutes" Tenten looked serious knowing what it meant so she turned around and made sure to close the door. He called Hannah to get everything set up "Take some friends and round up our tourists, let's show them the New York hospitality." Castiel coded even in a safe zone he always made sure to keep everything in code to protect himself, his people, his family and his business. "Consider it done. What about our neighbors?" Hannah's soft voice asked the consigliere had over time learn to read her boss but he often surprised her it was the reason why he was such a formidable boss. "Let's introduce them to our real estate agent; I think it's time for them to move." Castiel knew that he will have to let certain party know what was coming.
He ended the conversation and called his contact in the NYPD to clear some room for him to take care of this. "Bal I need you to reel it in." He ordered as soon as the person on the other side picked up the phone "What no 'hello' dear cousin?" His contact was also an old friend of his Balthazar Novack who he met in college and they became real close. They separated after college as Castiel took over the family businesses and Balthazar went into the Navy and then becoming a Navy Seal, the two met again when they both moved to New York one as a business man and the other as a police officer.
Over time Castiel 'helped' Balthazar reached higher levels in the department and then brought him in as an informant and resource. Balthazar was family and their relationship had always been close. "Hello Balthazar, how is being commissioner treating you?" He heard the other man chuckle, Balthazar and Gabriel were the only ones that could get away with joking and teasing Castiel when he is in his God mode.
"All is well Cassie. Although it would be nice to be call for more than work"
"Be careful what you wish for Gabriel will come in a few days I'll make sure to let him know you miss him."
"What! You are so very cruel my friend."
"It is why I am good at what I do. Now are you going to take care of what I ask?"
"No need to insult me, you know me consider it done try not to get too much mud on my streets."
"I never do. I will make sure to contact you when Gabriel comes up."
Castiel smirked ignoring the complaint in Balthazar's voice as he hung up the phone seating down waiting for the confirmation from Hannah. 'It is ready' He can always count on Hannah she was efficient and prompt 'Have my welcome basket ready' Castiel did not wait for a response he send a message to the driver he uses for these type of business. He closed everything knowing that he would not be back, this business would take the rest of the day hopefully he would have it done by today.
"Tenten I will be gone for the rest of the day. Feel free to leave the rest for tomorrow and head home"
Castiel looked at her not explaining anything more knowing that his admin understood what he meant. "I just need to finish a few things than I would head out." He nodded his head and headed out it was still early in the today so people were still walking around the building working some were coming back from lunch. Down in front there was black town car waiting for him with a man in a suit standing next to the back door.
The door was open for him and as he stepped into the car he saw a beautiful brunette woman seating there waiting for him. "Hello Boss, I brought your welcome basket as per your request." The Beta smiled at her boss passing him a black leather hard brief case. "Pamela, how is everything else going?" Castiel asked taking the case but not opening it trusting that everything was there "A shipment is coming in tonight but the King of Hell has it handle. The 'president' in Venezuela needs a break some Knights were dispatched to 'help' him out…" Castiel smirked he had been watching the news on Venezuela "Make sure that this time it is done right, we do not need a repeat of what happened in Venezuela when we helped their previous leader." Pamela wrote down notes and the car was silence while she took some notes
"What about Brazil?"
Pamela look at her notes "we have our friends in communications…" Castiel glared and Pamela knew that the look was one that usually gets people kill "I do not want communication, I want a hunt." There was brutality and anger in his eyes was something that Pamela has seen before it usually got people killed in horrible ways. "Naomi has some vacation time; she has always wanted to visit Brazil." Pamela's eyes widen 'boss most be really angry' Naomi was someone who took care of people in the worse most possible way, she was only sent out when Castiel wanted the target to suffer.
She did not dare to question his decision "I will let her know…" She wrote down more notes before speaking again "The families in Europe are sending over invitations especially England…" Castiel shook his head when he first took over the old mafia families in Europe turned their nose at the young 'American' boy. It wasn't until he showed them that while young he was still an Angels that they started to show him respect and fear now they send him invitations to come and visit them. "Politely decline, remind them that according to them an 'American' boy has no reason to be involve in European business." Pamela smirked at this she always enjoyed bringing arrogant men down a peck.
They arrived at a deserted street in Long Island City; there were abandoned warehouses all around. They got out Castiel carried his briefcase a small Omega was waiting outside for them as they got in "Pamela get those things done I will see you once I'm done." The Beta nodded before getting into the car being driven away. "Hannah, let's get introductions underway." They entered the barren warehouse walking deeper in having casual conversation.
In the center of the warehouse were three men tied to chairs, there were other men standing around the big room who all vowed their head in respect. The men in the chairs eyes widen; Castiel put the brief case in a table and opened it to reveal all sort of medical looking tools. Castiel took of his jacket passing it to one of the man standing nearby who looked as if he was been given the biggest honor in the world.
Hannah passed Castiel some black gloves "gentlemen this is God and he would like to welcome you to his city." Castiel gave a sinister smile looking at the swastika tattoos "You know I come from a long line of Jews –as you would say- so your visit is very exciting for me excuse me if I go slightly over overboard with the welcome party in my excitement." Soon the room was filled with screams and pleas for mercy that were ignored.
It has been a few days since Naruto lost his apartment, apparently the gym in Brooklyn closed for some renovations but they at least asked him to come back in a week. He has been hopping from homeless shelter to homeless shelter looking for a job but having no luck as everyone asked for a resume. It got to the point that Naruto began to think that he might just have to ask Hinata to help him write a resume hoping that it might get him more attention from employers.
First he was going to go back to the gym when they re-open. He looked them up and saw that they have great benefits and that is what he needs. It has been a rough few days but Naruto was used to this and he knew how to deal with it better still he knew how to survive it. He ate at the café and used the showers in the college gym to clean himself.
He had dinner at Ichiraku not every night since he didn't want them to get suspicious. In between that he munched on the pastries that he took from the café to hold him over until the night. The food that he had taken from his apartment was stolen in the first shelter he stayed at. It has been two weeks since he was evicted and three days since he ate at Ichiraku which he had to stop since both Iruka and Teuchi were asking too many questions.
For those three days he had only eaten pastries in the morning only because since they got busy there were hardly any leftovers for him to take. Finally he checks the internet and sees that the gym re-opened a few days ago there was even a really positive article about the new opening so he decided to head over after work.
Naruto walked over and looked up at the clean sign that read 'Purgatory' feeling anxious like he felt during his interview at The Bunker. People were walking in and out in their gear, there seemed to be a lot of traffic. The building was in a corner lot and three levels with a terrace from what Naruto could see. The front windows seemed like panels that as he walked in he realized were screen since some people had different scenery, a beach and a country road to name a few.
The place seemed almost futuristic, tablets and screens all over the place, stay of the art equipment suddenly he felt he might be under qualify for a job here. "Welcome to Purgatory!" The slim pretty Omega on the front desk greeted him; she smiled but as Naruto walked over her smile became stiffer it was that smile that rich people give to poor people when they enter their high class business. Naruto had become an expert at reading disgust in people's eyes and he could see that she was trying very hard not to kick him out.
"Do you have a membership?"
"Do people need a membership to come here?"
"Yes, only members have access to the gym." She said this very arrogantly.
"How much is the membership? How does it work?" Naruto decided to get more information before he speaks with the person in charge.
"Believe me, you can't afford it. This is not the place for you."
The very blunt and honest statement surprised Naruto usually he would get a passive aggressive discrimination not one so up front. He couldn't help but respect that even if it always hurt to be discriminated for something out of his control. He looked around and notice that all the 'members' in this gym had the same factors in common they were all young, good looking, and –even stranger- fit.
He scratched his head in confusion wasn't the point of a gym to get fit shouldn't there be more diversity this gym felt very staged. "I'm actually here looking for a job. I came before but they were closing so they told me to come back." She measured him up and raised an eye brow "I'll let the manager know." With that he was dismissed so Naruto step away and sat in the reception area to wait just looking around. It felt like hours before a very fit Alpha walked over to him measure him up and down like the receptionist.
"Do you have any experience working in a gym?"
"Back home I was in school for Martial Arts and once graduated I joined our village's forces."
"You were in the military?"
"Yea, my village…"
"Village?"
"Yea, I'm from a small village in Japan."
The door opens and the wind blows from outside making the Alpha nose the air and getting wind of Naruto's scent. Suddenly the man stiffens completely his posture and the interest in his face was gone. "I'm sorry but it seems that you are not the kind of person were a looking for." Naruto was confused he tried to go back and see where the man could have gotten that idea "Look around you we keep a certain image and you do not meet those standards." Naruto looked around still confused he study the employees and it suddenly hit him they were all Alphas and Omega
"It's because I'm a Beta"
The man smiled smugly and Naruto could feel the beginning of humiliation set in but this time Naruto didn't let it set in instead anger overcame him. "I'm glad you understand." The Alpha began to walk away but the days of injustice had caught up to him and he had enough. "No I don't understand actually." The Alpha turned around "excuse me?" The Alpha dared him to repeat what he said, surprise as if he could not believe that Naruto dared to speak up to him.
"Well, I'm saying that its 2020 and you seemed to be stuck in the 80s or something. Don't you think it's a little late for Beta discrimination? I mean in this day and age Betas have jobs in the government for fuck sakes!"
The rant had drawn attention from people coming in and the receptionist in the front, they were all mumbling about what was going on. The Alpha was mad but he looked around noticing the attention and decided to avoid a scandal. "Please leave the property you are causing a disturbance." The man tried to usher Naruto away "What? You don't want your customer to know that you're a racist business, which focuses on including certain people but excluding others" Naruto made sure to speak louder so that everyone could hear him. He was pissed and he wanted everyone to know that racism against Beta should not be a norm anymore. The man tried to get him to calm down while insulting him a lot and Naruto was just over the whole situation, he got even angrier when he realized that the young beautiful fit assholes that go to this gym only pretend to care about the issues.
Castiel was happy with the changes made in Purgatory, he agreed with Meg that the place needed to be closed and renovated. He had seen the other Purgatories in Vienna, California and Australia and this one did not compare before but now it was up to part, of course each brand had something different from the others like the surfing lessons in Australia and the Meditation classes in California. "Like I said Clarence this was not up to par, now it more fits to the brand." Castiel smiled at Meg getting sighs and blushes from the Omegas around
"If there was anyone that could get it done it would be you." Meg smirked
"A compliment, watch it Clarence I might swoon a little."
The Omega always joked about the stereotype about her gender being weak minded falling for all compliments. "What about the staff?" Castiel asked looking around seeing a small amount of staff for such a big crowd "We are currently recruiting; I have my manager in charge of applications." Suddenly they heard a commotion in the front and a voice yell out "You pretend to be inclusive when you're all kicking out people like me and making them feel bad about not being like you!" Castiel looked at Meg his face serious, he thought that the gym was received well by the people, this person sounded angry. He walked to the front and saw a tiny blond in the reception area face of with a tall Alpha which Castiel knew to be the manager.
"What is going on here?"
Naruto rolled his eyes more racist employees as back up coming to save the day and make him out to be the bad guy in this story. "My apologies sir, this Beta is creating a scene I will take care of it." The use of his gender as if it were an insult annoyed Naruto "stop saying Beta like you're saying scum of the earth or something because news flash its not really an insult, Asshole!" Castiel raised an eye bow at the manager "it doesn't seem like you can." Blond had still not turn to look at the new player in the game "sir what seems to be the problem?" At being addressed directly Naruto had to turn around only to face a chest so he moved his eyes up, high, higher
'Damn why does everyone have to be taller than me.'
Until cerulean blue eyes met electric blue eyes the man before him was extremely good looking like the man he met at the Bunker it was almost unfair. But this one was a different kind of good looking while the other guy 'Dean' had a more all American, boy next door beauty this man before him was more of old fashion exotic beauty 'definitely not American.' He was tall with a slim built and flush almost pink-ish tone to his skin, he had wild curly dark hair and a five o clock shadow that made him look almost dangerous instead on scruffy. The biggest and by far best feature 'that I can see' was his electric bright blue eyes that almost seemed flash like lighting moving around.
"Who are you? Another 'manager' wanting to keep up appearances"
All the staff and gym goers gasp at the blatant disrespect that the blond was showing one of the richest and most dangerous men in the world. Meg who had been on the side watching the show raised an eyebrow she has never heard anyone speak to Castiel that way. Castiel was surprise that the blond had no idea who he was and intrigued at the same time, the manager from before stepped in to apparently defend Castiel's honor. "How dare you! Show some respect this is Castiel Angels owner of this gym" The man exclaimed trying to gain Castiel favor by 'defending' him but to everyone's shock including the man himself Naruto proved that he did not give a fuck. "Oh so you're the head racist in here." Everyone gasp while Meg actually laughed she like the tiny blond, no one has ever accused Castiel of being a racist, and his face was priceless.
The manager again was the first to speak he step up to Naruto aggressively "Show some respect…" but Naruto ignored him and walked up to Castiel until they were less than an inch apart, it was a hilarious image as the blond was staring Castiel 'down' while practically on his tiptoes. "Respect is earned! I'm not about to show respect to someone that has a business that condones discrimination among employees and customers." He poked Castiel hard chest as he ranted "I mean look around none of these 'members' need to go to the gym and the people that actually want to get fit and need it are not allow because they don't fit your image. The same way I was denied a job because I'm not a strong Alpha or a cute Omega." Castiel looked around noticing that the blond was right all the members were fit and good looking while all the employees were Alphas and Omegas.
This was not how Purgatory was supposed to be, like the others around the world it was meant to be a save space for all. He looked down at the fearless blond whose cheeks were flushed and Cerulean eyes shined as he stared 'down' Castiel's own electric blue eyes and could not help but think how adorable the blond looked. Taking a minute to study him, the golden tan skin and bright wheat blond hair, the slightly slanted but still widen eyes, the pouting lips and the marking von his cheeks, there was no denying he was gorgeous. Meg saw the moment Castiel's went from CEO on the job to Alpha on the hunt. She was the only one that noticed his eyes flash gold and she turned to the blond still fuming barely reaching the Alpha's neck
'Oh this is interesting, wonder what Dean will say?'
Naruto was so mad that again he did not notice the look of interest that the Alpha was giving him. As a Beta his senses weren't as developed so he could not scent the Alpha pheromones being thrown his way "On behave of Angels International I deeply apologies for what you have been put through and assure you that this is not the message we want people to get from us. We do not discriminate or exclude anyone so I will look into this immediately." Naruto was left speechless mid rant, he did not expect a sincere apology at all let alone a public one 'what is it with this big bosses and surprising me' he blinked his eyes and tilted his head in confusion 'Oh dear god he is so adorable. I want to ravish him.' Naruto was unaware of the dark thoughts he was inspiring.
The manager glared at the blond for making him look bad in front of the CEO and he grabbed him by the arm hard ready to throw him out but he did not count on Castiel being so protective of the blond so quickly. A big hand shot out and grabbed his wrist making him let go of the blond who had given a sound of surprise but unfortunately for the manager Castiel took it as a sound of pain so he squeezed until everyone close heard the bone crack and the manager screamed. It was getting out of hand so Meg went to intervene only to be glared at by those electric blue eyes and be stopped by the Alpha's command
"Stop…"
"…How dare you hurt someone that I am talking to, completely ignoring my words!"
At this point the Alpha was crying on his knees while Castiel held his broken wrist and Naruto couldn't help but get a sick pleasure at watching the arrogant bastard be put in his place if only that could happened to his ex-landlord. He wanted Castiel to break his whole arm maybe the asshole would rethink about being a racist dick. He looked around and saw everyone had their phones out recording and if the guy really was the owner of this place it would not look good on him and the guy seemed decent enough. So Naruto stepped forward "Castiel don't! He's not worth the added problem or bad publicity that you will get." But that did not get him attention so he wrapped his arms around the man's waist and flushed his smaller body against the tall tone one in a one-sided hug.
Castiel was shocked by the arms around him and the body against his, it felt so right and he let go of the whimpering manager so that he could wrap both arms around the tiny blond. He was lost in the feeling of the blonde's body against his and for a minute forgot all the people around them burying his face in surprisingly silky soft hair. "Castiel" Meg called for his attention and he growled low enough that only she heard "There are people everywhere this is not the place for this."
Reality made him pull back not completely –unable to let go of the blond- to realize that she was right a lot of people had their phones out "this is like at The Bunker all over again." The blond still in his arms mumbled and it got Castiel's attention not because he spoke but the words he spoke suddenly he remembered Dean's words "He was perfect Cas, cerulean blue eyes fierce yet innocent, if you see them you will never be able to say no to them. I'm sure that Naruto is what we've been looking for." This time Castiel let go of the blond and looked into his eyes 'cerulean blues' but it couldn't be, it would be too much of a coincidence.
For the last few days Dean has been going crazy trying to find this blond and it turns out he found them. "What is your name?" Naruto did the head tilt that Castiel found so adorable unaware that he was doing the same thing "Naruto Uzumaki" It was him the blond that his mate had been so obsessed with he couldn't believe it 'you were right Dean, he is perfect.' He could not help but laugh at the way life works, it has to be fate, the blond was meant to be theirs. His laugh had gotten the wide eyes from everyone including Meg who has never heard Castiel laugh so loudly that was more Dean's thing. His next words shock everyone even more than his laugh but he didn't care.
"Join me for lunch."
It was a question but at the same time it wasn't Castiel did not want to give him the chance to refuse. Finally they had found the blond there was no way he was letting him out of his sight until they could seal the deal. The people began mumbling shocked all the Omegas glared at Naruto in envy that he would get such an invitation by one of the most eligible Alphas in the world. Others believed that this was just a business lunch so that the blond doesn't sue the company for discrimination.
Naruto completely ignored everyone he was surprise by the invitation and his first though was to decline but his stomach growled loudly making him blush and making Castiel smile "I'll take that as a yes" before Naruto could correct him the man was texting something on his phone and then turned to a brunette Omega behind him "Meg Investigate this situation and we will meet tomorrow. I do not have to tell you that we cannot have this." Meg nodded knowing that Castiel was right she was in charge of all the Purgatory gyms and uses managers to work as her eyes and ears so she only sees what the managers want her to see.
It is all about trust and while she trust the other managers this one she was not so sure of, she needed to take care of this because this looked bad on her too. "Consider it done." Naruto felt petty for a moment as said "that receptionist is racist too, she's turning people away." The Omega in question widen her eyes doing the perfect who? me? pose before exclaiming that Naruto was lying "Shall we?" but Castiel glared at her before turning and smiling at the blond ushering him outside where his car was waiting, the change was scary and the Omega whimper.
"What would you like to eat?"
"You can never go wrong with a burger and fries, there a Mickey Ds a block from here."
Castiel listen to the blond but ignored the location suggestion telling his driver to take them to Emily's in Clinton Hill it was one of Dean's favorite. "I have a better idea." Naruto turn those eyes on him and there was so much trust there that Castiel wanted to pull him on his lap and ravish him 'most have control. Cannot scare him away' He texted Dean 'Join me for lunch?' and he didn't have to wait long before receiving an answer 'Can't stuk wok' He hated how his mate texted but he sent something to entice him.
Dean was seating in his office feeling more depressed than before for not being able to join his mate for lunch. These last few days he has been trying to find the blond but it was as if he vanished, he even got Claire to call him but the number was not in service. He was not in a happy mood, his mate send him another text and he expect some words proving how understanding his mate was instead it was a picture of the blond he was looking for in a car looking out the window.
It was obvious that the blond did not know the picture was taken but more importantly Dean recognized that car 'It's okay, I have someone to keep me company' He couldn't believe it so he called his mate "What! How is that possible? You found him!" He exclaimed before his mate could even talk "Actually he found me." His mate chuckle before answering "we're going to get some burgers at Emily's" Castiel explained how could Dean refused that, burgers with his mate and their tiny blond he will make room "I'll meet you there!"
"But you said…"
"I will be there!"
He heard his mate laugh before hanging up the phone and calling Missouri "I'm going out to lunch" He was rushing but stopped in his private bathroom fixing his hair "how I look?" The woman was surprised "as handsome as always, you will knock him dead." For some reason Dean was sure that the woman was not talking about Castiel. In the elevator he got another text from his mate this one made him grin and exclaim loudly "YES! Finally!" Security will have a field day with that footage.
"You were right he is adorable. We are definitely keeping him.'
Inner Evil: There you go Castiel finally met Naruto and like with Dean it was love at first sight. Let me know what you thought of the meeting and the little twist making Castiel a mob boss, he was kind of inspired by Asami Ryuchi from viewer finder series.
