Serena

Still giving him a sad smile Serena wondered aloud "Yeah Cas, I would love to hear what the heck you were thinking?"

"I had nowhere else to turn, Dean was living a normal life. Sam was gone, at that time I didn't think that I could save him from the pit." His tone dull as usual, with a hint of pure remorse to it.

"I know that's how you feel and all Cas, and sure Dean says he liked the normal life style, but deep down he was itching to get back in the game, I'm sure he would have jumped at the chance if you had asked him. But that's all in the past now, no reason to change it. And about Sammy, you did not know whether or not you could have saved him from Lucifer's grip."

"You don't need to make any excuses for me." Castiel started to say calmy, which comforted Serena, she prefered to have him relax around her "I know that if I asked Dean he would have come back to help me, after all as he likes to put it I'm his 'pal', as for Sam, Father only knows how horrible I still feel for not getting him out sooner."

"Oh, Cassie, there's so much more into the whole Dean-O thing than that." Said Serena a mischevious smile on her face, to her gain Castiel looked even more confused at that than his usual self. "I'll let you figure that one out for yourself. Right now though, we need to talk about the whole Crowley thing that you got yourself dug into."

He hang his head down in shame, "I know you might not quite understand my actions, I.."

Serena cut him off be making a loud coughing noise in the back of her throat, he looked back up at her.

Serena was shaking her head "No Cas, I can understand. Of course, I'm not having any Raphael problems right now, but I do have other things I'm dealing with that would scare even you. But I plan to look at all of my options before I dig my own grave."

Leaning his head to the side he asked "What could be possibly worse then Raphael at the moment?"

Smiling sadly she added "Sorry Cas, I haven't even told Gabriel anything about what's going on, let alone you, I won't drag you down with me."

She really didn't wanna worry them, at least not yet. How would she break the news to any of them about hearing Lucifer's voice inside her mind, as well as knowing what he was planning at that very moment?

After everything the boys - including Gabriel and Castiel - had been through with Lucifer already, she wanted to find another way around the problem on her own.

"Cas I really appreciate it, but I'll only drag you into my matters if becomes necessary. I promise you. I prefer you lot to have your freedom from my dangerous affairs that I am going throw right now."

Castiel tilted his head, narrowing his eyes, considering her words for a moment before he said, "I'm still concern about you, for some unknown force I feel the need to - no I want to help you. Which I do not understand as to why that maybe, but that is what I feel."

Truthfully smiling she said, "Maybe it's the fact that Jimmy was a little girl's father before he became your host. I supposed he might be the one making you feel the need to protect someone much younger then you or perhaps someone he sees as a daughter like figure."

He he had to think about that to himself for a moments time whether or not if she was right about the chances of his vessel influencing him, but quickly ignore it as he questioned "Does my brother know that you're dealing with "something"as you like to put it?"

She was surprised by his question, which made her blink a couple times considering only minutes ago Castiel was unnerved to be around her.

"Oh, why Cassie, have I started to grown on you already?" She said grinning madly leaning her head slightly to the side in a Castiel like manner.

He seemed dumbfounded by the simple fact that her presence didn't seem to bother him any longer.

She couldn't help the snort that escaped her red glossy lips "Like I said before Cas, I don't bite and I would love it if we could at least be friends, rather than me being a stranger you fear." She said smiling at him.

He nodded his head in acceptance "I think I woud really enjoy spending more time with you, as your pontential friend."

"That's good to hear Cas." She murmured smiling widely at him "And regarding your question, no Gabriel is not aware of what is going on, not on my end like I kind of already said. But onto more important matters - I guess the next step is how stop Crowley…" She continued her voice harshier than before, the moment her eyes crosses Cas again she shoke her head in utter defeat "Oh, please Cas, don't look at me like a kicked little puppy or something, it will be the death of me and I do mean that."

Castiel's face was showing his emotions for the first time in all of his life, showing his mistakes and Serena being the softy that she was couldn't stained the look he was giving her.

"I hate to ask you this, and if you feel like you don't want to, you can tell me. I won't be mad if you say no to this nonsense of an idea", Serena unlock her gaze with him, feeling a little apprehensive by the look on his face.

Castiel was confused and quite lost "What is it I might not like?" He voiced tilting his head to the side.

"Well Cas, this might actually be a horrible idea. And of course like I said you can agree or not to it, I won't be angry with you if you dislike this crazy idea of mine", she said looking back at him.

Castiel pondered before saying "I assume I would have to listen to this supposed idea of yours before I take any decisions."

She let out a long deep breath "Keep in mind that this idea may and it can go wrong at anytime."

He nodded his head indicating for her to continue, not taking his large indigo eyes from hers, which only increased the dreadful feeling she was having. She blinked before saying "Alright... well, like I already told ya, you don't need to go along with it. The idea of mine is to have you keep working with Crowley."

The angel was taken aback about her words, but waited patiently for the her to finish. "As you can imagine there is more to this idea than simply that, it would have you act like you're working with him still, when in reality you would be… oh, what is a good definition for it?" She questioned biting her lower lip, leaning her body to the right side as she put one of her hands on her hips trying to visualize the word.

"Spying?" Castiel voice rose eager to assist her in some way.

"You know what, that is indeed a really good definition, I was thinking more as in betraying him, but the fact is that the definitions are quite alike", she said gracing him with a smile as she re-crossed her arms over her chest.

He seemed happy to be praised - even though there were no signals on his face.

"So you would stay as a spy, a traitor nonetheless, and you can report whatever is going on to…"

She frowned unsure to whom Cas should report to, it couldn't be the Winchesters nor Gabriel, otherwise they would learn the truth he had been keeping from all of them. And of course he wouldn't want to report to her just yet, he was just starting to feel comfortable around her.

He moved his head slightly to the side and in a questioning tone said "How about I let you know any kind of information or threat that may come up?"

She sounded surprise as she looked Castiel's in the eyes as she questioned, "Are you sure?" He nodded his head slowly and she said, "Well than, I suppose you like this plan, hmm?"

Looking towards the sky before agreeing he said "I think some parts of this plan will be dangerous, but most likely would help me make amends for my sins."

"Cas there is nothing wrong with what you have done, you don't need to make amends to anything." Her voice was low and a tick with a sadness could be felt as she spoke.

"That's not exactly true, I messed up." He said hunging his head as he talked looking a little sadden.

"Okay, I think when this is done you should just ask Dean about his feelings on this matter, or even Sam. I assure you both will tell you otherwise. Hey, if you want you could even ask Gabe about what he thinks, I think you'll be suprised by what they have to say."

"I honestly don't see why they would.." Serena cut him off with a motion of her hand before he could go on with the self pity.

"Look, Cas, there are some things you may not understand now, one day you will." She smiled sadly "But for now, let's just focus on the whole Crowley thingy; are you absolutely sure of this idea?"

"I know it can be dangerous, but there are parts we can work with this plan." His voice was calm and even almost like his normal tone of voice.

She sighed "I honestly hoped you wouldn't agree with this." She massaged her temple closing her eyes for a moment. "I guess then, I'll help you as much as I can, I'm just a name call away. I'll answer your prayers."

"Well, I appreciate that." He nodded.

"The only thing I need to tell is that neither Bobby or the Winchesters know about me, so don't bother asking them, you can try as Gabriel did, but they won't know anything."

"I don't understand, how come they don't know anything about you?"

"If I haven't told Gabriel, I sure as well ain't telling you either." She grinned but at seeing the look on Cas's face she added quickly, "Well for the moment that is."

"I expect that you will inform the both of us about who you really are and everything someday, is that correct?"

"Yeah Cas, don't sweat. I'll tell you when I can." She nodded smiling "Right now I need to take off and try to clean up this whole mess, you know the one I'm not really fancing dragging you into right now."

He smiled, his understanding showing in his big blue eyes as she vanishes into thin air.

Gabriel

Sam walked out of the bathroom fully dressed busying himself with drying his long luscious hair, when Gabriel reappeared in the Winchester's room. Gabriel was never so envy of a bath towel before in his life; oh how he would give anything to run his fingers through the younger hunter's locks at that very moment.

The archangel noticed Sam's shirt was hugging his chest, molding his muscles perfectly, Gabriel wouldn't mind at all ripping off the shirt and run his fingers across the smooth skin capturing the warmth of the younger man and what he could offer.

"Are you done with getting that fresh air?" He questioned, throwing the towel he had been using on the chair and smiling at him.

Dean snorted ignoring Gabriel "What? The smell of two guys in a dirty motel room not up to your liking, princess?"

Gabriel rolled his eyes dismissing the grumpier Winchester, he knew deep down that Dean did have a right to hate him after everything that he had done to the them and Castiel but it still did not mean that he liked or really cared what the older Winchester had to say.

Although Cas seemed to have forgave him, or at least a bit, for what had happened in TV land. He was unsure about Sam though, but since the younger Winchester was talking to him, that had to mean something.

"Well Rena, if you're listening, wish me luck, cuz here I go." He hoped beyond skies that she wasn't still busy chit-chatting with Cas.

"Just so you know Gabey, darling, there are still some parts of this plan that I really don't like, so let's just pray all works out in the end." She replied in his mind, he smiled understanding her fears but Gabriel thought it was better this way, than locking them up in a patted room and preventing any harm to the vamps, or the Winchesters – Sammy most of all.
