Sam turned when he heard Castiel's wings, "where the hell have you been?" Castiel tilted his head to the side, squinting his eyes. Sam looked from Castiel, to the woman beside him, "whose that?" Castiel removed her hand from his, "this is Layla." Sam hesitated, but didn't ask anything else.

Layla smiled, "Hello, you must be Sam, and I'm guessing this is Dean?" She pointed to Dean's sleeping form. "Uh, yeah." Sam said, not liking the fact that this woman knew him and his brother. Sam took Layla's outstretched hand, and shook it.

Layla smiled even brighter, "You're a very smart young man." Sam flushed and looked away. Layla's glanced at Dean, and her eyes glazed over for a second. Then she snapped back to reality and looked at Castiel, "Bathroom?" Castiel pointed to it, and she disapeared behind the door.

Castiel and Sam turned toward a giggle-slash-scream coming from behind them. Gabriel was poking Alex's sides, and she was trying to get him to let go. "Stop it Gabriel," she laughed, slapping at his hands.

Gabriel let go and Alex fell into the chair to her right, giggling and catching her breath. The bathroom door creaked open, and Alex stopped laughing. Layla froze in the doorway to the bathroom, "Alex?"

"Mom?" Alex looked at Castiel, not beliving what she saw. Layla took a few steps forward, which put her into the middle of the room. "It's me, babygirl," she said, her expression full of emotion. Alex hesitated, then ran up to Layla and threw her arms around her. Layla put her arms around Alex, closing her eyes.

Alex pulled away, "h-how are you still alive?" Layla sighed, looking at the floor, "I had to protect you, and the only way to do that was to 'die'. I'm sorry I had to leave you." Alex stepped back again, "ok...I have things to do, I'll be back later." Alex left with the sound of flapping wings.

Layla looked at Castiel, "she's an angel now?" Castiel nodded. Layla sighed again, "she looks older. She acts older." Castiel smiled, "we didn't change her personality, only her body. She had to mature after you left, to deal with her step-father."

Layla looked up to Castiel, "what about him?" Castiel tilted his head, "he is abusive and very malicious. Did you not know that?" Layla sighed again, "he wasn't always like that. I couldn't see it, but Alex could. She could see the darkness that lay sleeping inside him. I should have listened to her."

"I do not think she blames you," Castiel said, moving closer to her. Layla shook her head, "how can she not?" Castiel looked down, "at least she could stay with them, for she does love her brother." Layla nodded, the ghost of a smile on her lips. Castiel nodded also, putting a hand on her shoulder. They left, leaving a very confused Sam, a sleeping Dean, and a very akward-feeling Gabriel.

Alex slid down the tree in the park, not even bothering to wipe away the tears rolling down her face. She had to many emotions to process, to many things she wanted to do. All she really wanted was Dean. But he was asleep, so she went with her backup plan.

"Gabriel," she called. "You must really need some comforting if you called me," Gabriel said, but it was more caring than sarcastic. He sat down beside her, and put his arm around her shoulders. She snuggled into his shoulder, and they just sat there, saying nothing.

Layla looked around, "where are we." Castiel smiled, "you don't remember?" He did his puppy-pout, and Layla smiled. Then she remembered, "this is wear we first met..." Castiel nodded, stepping closer.

Layla to another step, and they were chest to chest, their faces inches away. Layla smiled when Castiel pressed his lips to hers, and put her hands on his chest. Castiel gripped her hips, pulling her impossibly closer.

"oi gohon," Castiel asked, pulling away. "ol g-chis-ge ollor drilpi," Layla replied. Castiel smiled, kissing her again.

Sam sat on his bed, and looked at Dean. He was still asleep, and Sam was starting to worry about what Castiel did to him. Sam considered going over there to wake him up, but decided to wait untill Alex gets back.

Enochian translations:
