The rest of the day was spent with an over-protective Dean, weirded out Sam, pissed off Gabriel, prideful Luci and little innocent Cas who didn't want to get involved. When lunch came around and Luci sat with the group, it was anything but joy. Cas happily greeted his brother and introduced him to Charlie. "This is my older brother Lucifer." Cas gestures to him. "Nice to meet you!" Lucifer grabs her hand, "The pleasure is all mine." Charlie laughs and takes her hand away, "Sorry Mr. Devil, I don't swing that way." Lucifer chuckles.
"What time are you going to be leaving?" Cas asks. "Well since I'm turning 18 soon, I figured why not let me take over for that bitch Naomi." He explained. Gabe looked up from his food, "You want to be our guardian?" Lucifer shrugs, "Well, Michael went to college and doesn't seem to want to go back, hmmm? So I want to take you out of that God-forsaking house."
Cas went white with terror, "Are you sure? I mean, all she is doing is God's work, Is it not?" Gabe looked over sadly at Cas, little baby Cas. He had been just a year old when their father left and Naomi took over. Castiel believed all the lies she told because it was all he ever knew. Their father was a better man who preached what God truly meant. He would hate the way his youngest had turned out.
"Cas…..We'll talk about this later." Gabe says softly. Cas nods and looks toward the other who have worry looks. He gives them a small smile. Sam and Charlie smile back widely as Dean stares, a deep look on his face. "Dean?" Cas sat closer to him, worried by his unusually quiet state. Dean looks to Cas and to Sam, "It's fine. Let's just talk about something else." Cas nods and continues to catch up with his brother. And that's was the end of lunch.
- With Sam And Dean -
Sam and Dean had got to the room to hear things being thrown inside. Dean, being the kind of person he is, quickly opened the door to see their father and a woman he has never seen before. The woman had make up running down her face and blood dripping from her lips. She looks toward them and her eyes screamed for help. Dean pushed Sammy to the side and rushed to the woman's side. John glared at him and in his drunken he had barely missed dean's head with a bottle he had thrown.
Standing the woman up and moving in front of his father, he had pushed her towards the door. She ran and Dean blocked the doorway so john couldn't reach her or, more importantly, Sam. "Move you little dumbass!" He pulled his fist back ready to punch when Dean kicks him back. He doesn't move far but dean uses the fact that he is covering his stomach as a distraction. He grabs Sam's hand, slams the door shut and runs to the car.
Quickly unlocking the doors, Dean and Sam climb in and drive off. They didn't know where to go so they just drove around for awhile. 'Ding' Sam's phone signals he got a text. He unlocks his phone and see it was Cas who had texted him; 'Can I get a ride?' Sam worriedly thinks about the text before bringing it to Dean's attention. "Ask him where he's at." Dean replies still looking at the road. Sam nods and sends the text; He gets a reply almost instantly. 'The edge of the woods by my house.' Sam tells Dean the location and they speed off.
(Line Break)
"Cas!" Sam yells as he runs to his obviously hurt friend. Cas is leaning against a tree staring at the sky. Dean follows Sam and they sit next to him. "Hello Sam, Dean." Cas nods to them. "Hey-a Cas. Where u need a ride to?" Cas looks like he's thinking for a moment, "Call Gabriel. Ask him where he is." Dean nods and gets his phone out. Dialing the number, Gabe picks it up almost instantly, "Do you know where castile is?" He begs. "Umm, Yeah. He's right here with me and Sam. Why?" Gabe sighs in relief, "Me and Anna are with Lucifer and Cas went home without telling us. I-I was worried he did something or ran into Naomi." "he's fine as far as I can tell." Dean takes a quick look over Cas, who is now talking with Sam, to see if anything is broking or bleeding.
"Can you drive him to Luci's house?" "Yeah, sure." With a thank you Gabe hangs up. "Come on Cas. You know where Lucifer's house is." Cas nods and allows Dean to help him up. "Is anything broken or hurt?" Sam asks. Cas shakes his head and Dean sees a bruise forming below his right eye, "Bullshit. I see the bruise Cas." Cas winces at the harsh words. The three of them walk to the car. The ride is silent expect Cas giving Dean directions when needed.
Arriving at Lucifer's house; a two-story that needed little to no repair and maybe a paint job, damn rich people. Dean, Sam and Cas all walked to the front door, rang the door bell and waited. They ddn't have to wait too long, Gabe swung the door open and hugged the life out of Cas. When he let go Lucifer and Anna appeared at the doorway and welcomed all three boys in.
"Cassie! What were you thinking? I was worried sick." Gabe rambled on. Cas already elt bad, being yelled at wasn't helping and Dean could see that. "Give the kid a break, Gabby." Dean definded him. Gabe crossed his arms and pouted, "At least tell me why you left." All looked at Cas for an answer. Cas bit his lip and looked to the side, "I didn't mean to…." Tears formed in his eyes. Sam laid his hand on Cas' shoulder, "It's fine. We aren't mad, just want to know why you left."
Cas nods and wipes his face, "I….I don't want to….live here. I wanted to go home. B-But she was mad and drunk. She keep yelling about…a man who tried to beat her…and kids that helped her." He explained. Dean and Sam looked at each other. "What else Cassie? How'd you get the shiner?" Luci asks. "She threw a beer bottle…." And that was the end of the conversation.
