A/N: Anyway 'cause I forgot to mention this before I am dyslexic and have no beta so I apologies for all my horrible mistakes. Oh awkward. I forgot I don't really own any of this I'm just messing with toys that aren't mine and not getting payed for it. Also this takes place after 5.19 hammer of the gods. Just so you know. Also I would love feedback of any kind. Enjoy!

(there is totally a line here, if you can see it you get a cookie)

just in case you forgot what happened last time: Dean was wet tired and irritable in his warn out state. He dried off and got dressed in his bed cloths (so nothing but a pair of sweats) and took a deep calming breath before walking out of the bathroom to talk to Castiel.

(Another invisible line hurrah! If you can see this one you get a plate of fresh cut strawberries and whipped-cream made, of cores by our favorite archangel, Gabriel)

When Dean walked out he was half pissed but unsurprised when he nearly bumped into Castiel who was standing literally 'just outside' the door. Dean twisted his body and squeezed past the Angel and collapsed into a hotel supplied rickety wooden chair in the corner of their room. Dean sat hunched over, elbows on knees fingers massaging his brow not acknowledging at the angel in the room. As Dean sat he heard Cas' turn towards him and could practically feel the angels heavy gaze on him. Not really in to mood for a very intense and in-depth talk, which talks with Cas' always seemed to turn into, Dean gave another heavy sigh before finding the energy to very slowly lift his head and meet Castiel's gaze.

"You wanted to talk about something?" Dean said in a gruff voice that clearly sounded tired and slightly grumpy.

Tilting his his head in what seemed to be Castiel's reaction to many things that the Winchesters did and giving a slow blink he didn't really need he answered Dean's question. "Actually there are several pressing things that we should discuss at the moment but I shall speak of them in order of importance."

Dean chuckled at Castiels wording, shaking his head slightly in good humor he motioned for the angel to go ahead and talk about these so called pressing matters. Castiel nodded in acceptance of Dean's suggestion to talk and opened his mouth to speak before closing it again and furrowing his brow.

"What now?" Dean sighed out seeing Cas's befuddled expression.

"I said that I would speak of the most important matter first and continue from there but I seem to be having a difficult time deciding what issue should be deemed most important. This is because what you deem important, what I deem important and what the world deems important are all very different things and I need to speak with about matters that pertain specifically to all three separately."

This somewhat peeked Deans interest for two reasons. Firstly because seeing indecision on his angels face was rare and secondly because Castiel had said that one of the matters was about himself and the heavenly being rarely ever volunteered information about himself. So Dean followed his curiosity and advised Castiel to "Talk about the thing that was most important to himself" and Castiel was mildly confused at first because Dean had basically just told him to do something selfish and then reminded himself that he was talking to an unselfish human being and not one of his selfish angel brethren.

"Very well" Castiel said in response to Deans advice and continued to speak. "I have been looking into my resurrection in my spare time and though I have yet to find the truth it appears as though it was not god who brought me back." Dean was shocked by this statement partially because when the hell did the angel have spare time? But mainly because he hadn't know Cas' had been looking into his resurrection. Unfortunately being as tired as he was the first thought Dean had popped out of his mouth even though it was not the question he truly wanted to ask. So instead of 'you've been looking into your resurrection?' what came out was "when the hell do you have free time?"

looking slightly indignant Castiel replied "mostly when you and your brother are asleep and I do not have to worried about the two of you being killed on a hunt."

once again Deans first thought won out over actually thinking in his sleep addled mind so once again instead of ' I didn't know you'd been looking into your resurrection' what came out was "you worry about us?" Dean sounding almost touched.

This time however Castiel completely disregarded Dean's question and began to speak of his resurrection again. " So I found a book in Germany about true and honest resurrection and not just zomb-" but Castiel was cut of by a pained cry coming from behind them. Dean shot up out of his chair and Castiel turned around, both of them looking concerned at am as he continued to make pained cries and whimpers. Both the hunter and angel hurried over to Sam's side where he lay, now completely awake, on one of the hotel beds trying to keep his breathing even and obviously I pain.

"Whats wrong?" Dean said slightly panicked placing his hand on Sam's shoulder. When Sam didn't respond Dean shook him a bit not wanting to increase his pain and said louder "Sam! Sammy! Come on look at me!"

Sam slowly turned glazed eyes to Dean whimpering "H'rts" was all Sam managed to get out before he gasped again and cried out ripping the blankets off of himself. What Castiel and Dean both saw shocked them and frightened Dean. Sam had worn a white t-shirt and boxers to bed but now on his right hip his shirt and boxers where burnt so that there was a ragged looking hole in the clothing exposing his flesh. The flesh that was exposed however is what was concerning the other two beings in the room. On Sam's hip was a hand print burn (sound familiar to anyone?) it was black and slowly weeping blood. It also seemed to be causing Sam a fair amount of Pain.

(I feel like there should be a line break here but I'm not entirely sure why...)

Sam's breathing began to even out after a minute while Dean and Castiel both stood over him trying to bring him back to them by talking to him.

"It it still hurting really bad?" Dean asked getting a cool clean damp cloth to place over the mysterious burn.

"No not really, I mean it aches and it still feels really weirdly warm but it's actually OK" Sam said sitting up to take the cloth from dean and place it over his hip.

"Do you hurt anywhere else Sam" Castiel asked looking about as concerned as he ever looked. Sam turned his attention to the angel now looking very confused.

" No I don't hurt anywhere else. Does that matter? Do you have any idea what's going on here? Cas?"

Cas' studied Sam intently for a second before shaking his head "I am unsure if my theory is correct so I shall go do research and come tell you what I have found in the morning in the mean time try and rest." But before the angel could disappear Dean grabbed his arm

"Can you at least tell us your theory?" Dean asked sounding impatient and somewhat peeved that Castiel was just going to leave when his brother was obviously in distress.

Cas' nodded at Dean and looked back over at Sam before he began to tell them his idea "I thin-" WHOOSH THUMP! The angel was cut of by the noise of something crashing in the bathroom. Before either Dean or Castiel could walk over and check it out though a very feeble sounding moan came from the bathroom followed by a very quiet and rough sounding "unpleasant" in a voice that everyone in the room thought sounded very familiar.
