"And I am feeling no different," Cas just proclaimed to the doctor with his all known frowny face. The Winchesters didn't understand what the man meant by that at first. But Cas clarified them with another glance. "Being human isn't that different," he slurred again. His throat was getting raw again. The nurse got right on that and handled him some water. Meanwhile the doctor was pulling the man a bewildered eyebrow.
"Well, that's great, sir. But let's get right to the point. I am doctor Klaus. And I will be treating you from now on. But before that, I need to take a full report on your medical history. So my first question is: What's your name, pal? Your full name."
Castiel looked at Dean for help, obviously not understanding the doctors' question. So He thought he should answer for him.
"He told us his name was Cas. Cas uh… Simpson," Dean replied softly. Almost embarrassed by the lack of imagination. He was in a rush. His mind wasn't all there. Dean couldn't think of anything better when he was making his newborn identity. That yellow fellow just popped in his head that moment. But it fitted somehow. With the name Cas, that is.
He didn't dare to look at his brother though. He was almost certain he was giving him a cold stare.
Doctor Klaus nodded but he eyed him for a second, before he wrote the given name down.
"Alright. Cas Simpson it is," he said with a sigh. "Nurse?" The blond girl looked up at the doctor.
"Could you show those guy's their way to the cafeteria, please? I think Cas can handle the questions on its own." Some looks were exchanged and the nurse nodded. "Right this way, sirs."
This wasn't good. God knows what would happen if Cas even tried to explain what happened to his back? Or even talked about things like 'I made a shift in time and lost my angel mojo.'
That was enough to call inn a psychologist.
"Wait, wait wait. Uh, Doc? I uh totally forgot about his wallet. I am so sorry, man. I was so shaken up about the whole situation back at that river, but I found his wallet a few feet away from him. At least I think it's his. I didn't look in it. But I thought maybe the cops could find some fingerprints or something to find… well, you know? The sons of bitches who did this to him." His fingers pointed at Cas's freshly dressed back. The nurse had pulled his blanket back again so that the doctor could see check up on them.
"Aw man… That's disgusting. Who could do something like this to a person?" Dean knew it sounded phony but he tried it anyway. As he handed the old leathery wallet to the doc he saw Sam pooling the eyebrow at him.
"Where the hell did you get that, Lars? I was there the whole time, and you didn't mention it earlier? I was here this whole time, thinking about who this poor man is, and you had his wallet with you this whole time?"
"Don't know, man. I wasn't all there. I am sorry."
Sam sighed deeply. Hopefully this little performance helped the doctor belief that 'Lars' was telling the truth. And thank God he did. He took the wallet and opened it for some kind of ID. Of course, Dean had put it there. "Let's see, shall we… A Yes. Cas Simpson. From Canada. Far away from home, are ya Cas?" the doctor asked friendly. Castiel was looking very pale and tired. His eyes gazed up on the fake ID and nodded.
"Yes," he replied hoarsely. He was probably thinking he should play it along. Meanwhile the room was spinning like crazy. So he closed his eyes. His body was feeling heavier with sleep and he let his chin rest on the pillow. Lying on his stomach was oddly pleasant. Why didn't he try this earlier?
The voices around him floated away.
He nodded and took the ID. "Well. Thanks to this Social Security number I can check on your history myself." The doc watched his patient fall asleep and covered him up again. The poor man was still a bit cold. So he asked the nurse to give him another blanket for the night.
In the meantime Cas had fallen asleep completely. He scratched his cheek a little and convulsively fumbled on the pillow.
He looked way too adorable.
