(Castiel)
"Nice to see you again, Mr. Singer," I say as he comes into the motel room, foodstuff in hand, baseball cap on his head.
"You!" he says and goes immediately for the knife on his belt but Ruby yells out for him to stop before he can stab me and I can blind him, too.
"Bobby don't! It's Castiel, Dean's angel," she explains to him.
Without taking his eyes off of me, he puts his containers and bowl on the table.
"Where is Dean?" I ask. He closes his mouth stubbornly and tries to do the same to his mind but I see Dean squatting before the tiny angel, then rushing out of the cafe.
"Sam!" I say loudly and when I get no response, I move to the bed on which he lays, impervious in his drugged sleep.
"He's to stay here, to not interfere," Bobby says passing on Dean's orders and ignoring them, and the messenger, I simply touch the younger Winchester on the forehead and he sits bolt upright and tries to get up.
"Dean says for you to stay put, Sam," Bobby tells him pushing him back against the pillow and for a moment I think the disoriented boy will acquiesce but I send him the mental image of the girl and his brother's angry and rash reaction.
Pushing the older hunter's arm away, he gets to his feet. "She killed that little girl with just a thought," he says and I nod, though I know that she was an earthbound angel and, having served her purpose, is back with her Lord. "She can do the same to him." It's both a statement and a question and I let Sam form his own answer.
"But he says for you to not interfere, that he can do this without 'your help'," meaning Sam's unnatural power I remind him and I know, that if he had eyes, they'd be blazing with angry indignation.
"Well screw my brother," he spits out and starts to head to the door.
Bobby and I stay out of his way while the ever faithless Ruby takes his hand and places it on her raised arm. Together they travel the short distance down the street to the Temple of the Immaculate Conception as Bobby Singer, who has girded his loins with all kinds of weaponry, and I follow.
As we come up to the church Ruby balks. Sam can't see them but he can hear them and he knows there are hellhounds nearby. I raise my hand and the entire pack gathers at the steps, panting, slobbering and growling in between short bursts of intense infighting but basically content to stay where they are until he calls them.
Opening the heavy wooden door, I've made sure they can now enter and when Dean's agonizing cry comes from inside the church, Sam swallows hard, Ruby flinches and steps back, Bobby takes the name of the Lord in vain and I suddenly feel vindicated. The hellhounds head inside and pandemonium reigns.
