Hi! Just a little note: the ritual in this is made up as heck, but I did use Google translate to put it in Latin, so (hopefully) it is actual Latin. :)

"Pizza man? What are you on angel?" asked Crowley.

"The pi- never mind." said Cas, evidently giving up.

"Sam and Dean." said Bobby. "You said it was Zachariah."

"Yes."

"But Zachariah's dead." said Bobby, dumbfounded.

"No. He's alive."

"Well really?" said Crowley, stepping forwards. "Now," he said. "As much as I'd love to just leave them wherever they are, my boyfriend cares about them, and therefore I do. So, where are they?" Bobby looked over at Crowley when he said 'boyfriend', and when Crowley caught him he said "What are we then, two people that kiss?" Bobby shrugged.

"Enemies with benefits."

"Benefits?" asked Cas, confused as heck.

Bobby and Crowley both stared at Cas.

Bobby quickly changed the subject before Cas could say anything else.

"So how are we gonna find Zachariah?"

"I don't know." said Cas. "I suppose... asking the other archangels would be a sensible idea."

"Not while I'm here." said Crowley. Bobby looked at him, and Crowley said, "Archangels. I'm the King of Hell. Heaven and I don't particularly agree."

"Cas is an angel."

"Castiel is practically an abomination. He worked with me, he disobeyed, he campaigned free will, he doesn't count." Cas looked shocked, and hurt.

"Plus he's my boyfriend's son's boyfriend." Cas was ridiculously confused, and Bobby was trying so hard to contain his laughter.

Crowley smiles and disappeared.

"So, now he's gone, which archangel do we ask?" Castiel couldn't answer that question quite yet. He seemed to be trying to do a very hard maths equation in his head, but in reality he was figuring out Crowley's 'many boyfriends' statement.

He was silent for ages, until Bobby finally said, "Cas. Cas. Earth to Cas? Ground control to Major Cas?" Cas turned to look at Bobby.

"Are you and Crowley sleeping together?"

"Wow put it more bluntly why don't you?"

"I'm sorry."

"No, it's fine. Yes."

"Oh."

"Now, which archangel?"

"Balthazar is probably our best option. We should summon him right away." Cas started gathering ingredients for a ritual.

"Calm down, Cas. What are you even doing?"

"It's an old summoning ritual. Lucifer created it. It's the most powerful summoning ritual in existence. Even if he doesn't want to help us, he has to at least stay where we put him." He carried on putting various strange things in a bowl. He then found a knife and cut his arm, and drew a sign Bobby had never seen before on the floor.

"Cas, hold on." said Bobby. "How do we even know this is a good idea?"

"This is Balthazar, he'll know something. And this will hold him even if he doesn't."

He ignored Bobby's concerned face, returned to the bowl and lit four candles around it. He said:

"Quaero te exibunt ostendis nobis teneri sigil Huius signum potentiae inferni. Et quod peto liberari a custodia morbo periit."

Within seconds, Balthazar appeared, hands out as of ready to take a bow.

"Do what do I owe the pleasure?"

"We need to find Zachariah."

"Yes, I know. Sam and Dean."

"Where are they?" demanded Cas, his face glowing red with anger.

"I... don't know."

"Whaddya mean ya don't know?" asked Bobby.

"Yeah, I heard that Zachariah had them, don't know where. And I really don't appreciate this Cas. Really? Lucifer's ritual?"

"I had to take precautions."

"Well, I've helped you as much as I can Cas. Let me go."

"No." said Bobby. "You're gonna tell us exactly where he is."

"No, I'm not. I don't know."

"Balthazar." said Cas. "We need to find Dean and Sam."

"Exactly." said Balthazar, pointing them. "You need to find Dean and Sam. Also, why the Dean first? Dean and Sam, it just sounds weird. It's Sam and Dean." Cas looked flustered. He turned around and faced Bobby.

"Are you two knuckleheads going to let me go?" asked Balthazar.

"No." said Bobby.

"Why not? I'm practically useless to you."

"I don't care." said Bobby. "You're staying there until we find Sam and Dean."

Balthazar gestured at Bobby. "There you go!" he exclaimed. "Sam and Dean!" Cas looked even more discomposed.

He turned around to face Balthazar.

"Balthazar, please. We can't find them alone." He was almost begging, but somehow managing to retain his dignity while pulling Heaven's greatest puppy eyes.

"No, you probably can't. And... I don't care." And suddenly something in Cas changed. He spun round and grabbed Balthazar by the front of his shirt, his face glowing red with anger, and almost growled, "Where. Are. They." Balthazar tried to step back, stopped by the sigil on the floor, his hands up as if he was being arrested.

"Touchy!" He said. "Look, as much as I'm absolutely terrified to my very core, I can't help you. I honestly have no idea where he is. So let me go."

Cas had a face like thunder, and was about to start again on Balthazar, but Bobby stepped in and put his arm in front of Castiel.

"Cas, maybe we should rethink. Clearly, he doesn't know nothing."

"No." said Cas. "He has to know something. He's an archangel."

"Cas, I hate to say it but he obviously doesn't. We've grilled him, and, you've... terrified him, so I'm sorry, but I really don't think he knows."

"No!" Cas exploded, and Bobby could almost see his soul shattering, and tiny fragments ricocheting off every surface they hit. "He has to know." He said those final few words quieter, and the whole world could see he was heartbroken.

Sorry for this being so much shorter than Ch1, I wanted to end on a cliffhanger... apologies for that too. :)

I apologise too much.
