An angel.
A friggin' angel.
That's what Columbo called himself. An Angel of the Lord. Dean softly scoffed. Angel of the Lord his left foot. Weren't any such things as angels. Not that Dean had ever seen, anyway. Even Dad wrote in his journal how no hunters he met believed in angels. Demons, sure. Those black-eyed jackals were everywhere.
"Get the hell out of here." Something in his gut warned him to check his words. His mouth, like always, was on rapid-fire. "There's no such thing as angels."
Columbo gazed at him with an expression eerily similar to that puppy dog one of Sam's. His brother had been rocking that look since birth. He had it down to a science. Whoever this fella was? He wasn't anywhere near Sam's level. Still, Dean found himself squirming a little.
He couldn't help it.
There was a connection between him and Columbo that Dean didn't quite understand. As if they shared some sorta history. That was ridiculous, of course. He was pretty sure he'd remember meeting a nerdy fella who thought himself an angel. Not the kinda crazy Sam and I tend to run into.
And they had run into plenty.
He said he's the one who lifted me from perdition... Dean mused as he looked the so-called angel up and down. Does that mean he's the one responsible for me getting outta Hell? If so, did it mean he could he be trusted? Or is he another Ruby?
"This is your problem, Dean." Columbo heaved an almost despondent sigh before resuming his study of the book Bobby read from earlier. "You have no faith."
"Buddy, you have no idea how little faith I have."
Columbo gazed at him with those eyes that saw more than Dean liked. He felt more exposed than a girl working a stripper pole. Columbo breathed out a little sigh right before an almost blinding light filled the warehouse. Behind him stretched a pair of wings longer than he was tall.
Dean wondered if it was his eyes or brain playing tricks on him. There was no way this nerdy little dude in a trench coat was an angel. There was no such thing as angels.
Right?
