The angels had left them in limbo again, waiting for answers they'd never get. Whatever the plan was, their death didn't seem to be a part of it. Not yet anyway.

"Would it be worth it?" Dean finally asked her.

"What?"

"Planetary peace. Nothing left to hunt, we'd get to go back to your parents ranch, retire like normal people."

In exchange for wiping out most the world's population. "I don't think the ones dying would think it was worth it. Our lives, they aren't so bad." She lied. "The angels said so remember? Wasn't that the whole point of sending you through corporate hell? To prove you weren't born to live like normal people."

"Still, we could stop this."

"You'd get bored."

He laughed; she was concerned about his boredom. "We could keep busy." Dean shook his head. "We gotta do something."

After another half an hour or so of hearing nothing from the angels, Dean was desperately trying to get his phone to work. Sam had to be told about this, he had to do something if he couldn't.

"You can't reach him Dean. You're outside your coverage zone."

Was that supposed to be funny? "What are you going to do to Sam?"

"Nothing." He sighed. "He's going to do it to himself."

"I suppose you're not going to explain that. Gotta tow the company line and all. Why are you here Cas?"

"We've been through a lot, you and I. Your family. I just wanted to say that I'm sorry it ended like this."

"You're sorry?!" Kayla shot at him and started to stand, Dean held his hand up.

"I got this sweetheart." He turned and punched Cas in the face, the loud thud didn't have any effect on him but Dean was fairly certain he'd fractured his wrist. With a grimace he cracked it back into place. "It's Armageddon Cas you're gonna need a bigger word than sorry."

"This is long foretold." He argued. "This is your…"

"Destiny? Don't give me that holy crap. Destiny, God's plan, it's all a bunch of lies you poor son of a bitch! It's just a way for your bosses to keep me, and keep you in line! You wanna know what's real? People. Families. That's real. And you're gonna let them all burn?"

"I see nothing worth saving here! I see nothing but pain. I see inside you, I see your guilt, your anger, confusion…in paradise all is forgiven. You'll be at peace, even with Sam."

"You gonna lie to yourself now?" He leaned down to get his attention. "Look at me when I'm talking to you Cas, you see nothing worth saving? This world is full of good people that are gonna die! You've got feelings for people whether you like it or not, look at Kayla! She's alive because of you. You Cas, not your God, not his plan. She's alive because you wanted to save her. You care Cas, help me. Help us stop this."

"What would you have me do?"

"Get me to Sam, we can stop this before it's too late."

"If I do that, we'll all be hunted. We'll all be killed."

"If there is anything worth dying for, this is it."

Cas looked at him, then to Kayla before his eyes rested on the floor.

"You spineless, soulless son of a bitch. What do you care about dying? You're already dead. We're done."

"Dean…"

"Hey before you go angel-zapping out of here." Kayla crossed the room and unclasped her necklace before placing it in his palm.

Castiel stared at the small silver angel pendent in his hand. "I have no use for this."

"Yeah? Well apparently I don't either." When she walked back to Dean they heard the wing flutter signifying his departure.

It was a low blow, especially for Kayla. "You love that conforming bastard don't you?"

She smiled. "He'll be back."

Meanwhile, Sam found himself staring at the entrance of St. Mary's Convent. Was he really going to do this? Was he really going to completely drain the blood out of someone, killing both the demon and human inside? According to Ruby it was his only chance to stop Lilith, the only chance to stop the apocalypse. The sacrifice of one should outweigh the loss of humankind, right? He wasn't a bad person for doing this.

"Sam it's time, are we doing this or not?"

"Give me a minute to think."

"Sam."

"Give me a damn minute Ruby!"

"Better think fast."

He took a breath and finally pulled out his phone to check Dean's message. Who knows, maybe he'd have something inspirational to say.

"Listen to me you bloodsucking freak. Dad always said that I'd have to save you or kill you, well I'm giving you fair warning. I'm done trying to save you. You're a monster Sam, a vampire. You're not you anymore, and there's no going back."

Or not. Sam took a deep breath. This was it, the final stand, he was finally doing something right and his brother didn't even believe in him. They weren't even a family anymore. Why the hell couldn't Dean trust him just one time in his entire life? He glanced back to Ruby. "Do it." It didn't matter now, he'd show him, he'd show Dean that he was wrong.

She went back and opened the trunk, the possessed girl they'd stashed back there started screaming. It didn't effect him as much now; it had to be done.
