THEN
Sam, Cas and Bobby stop the shipment of Croatoan Virus from getting out of the warehouse. Dean confronts Death and gets the final ring to put Lucifer in a box.
Now
Dean wakes up the next morning still curled around Cas. He shakes Cas awake.
"Cas wake up." Dean say as he shakes the other man awake.
"Dean?" Cas looks around groggily, "what are you doing here?"
"I slept here last night Cas." Dean says.
"Oh I see. I wasn't aware." Cas says.
They get up out of bed and Cas goes down stairs and Dean goes into the bathroom he has to piss and shower. If he's going to fight the devil today he's going to do it being clean.
Dean showers and shaves and dresses then he heads downstairs. Bobby has made a feast.
Dean thinks if he does die today at least he'll go out with having a great breakfast before it happens. He thinks he would have liked to spend more time with Cas but you don't always get what you want he knows.
They sit down to breakfast and eat. Cas just picks at his food pushing the food around on his plate. Dean eats with gusto like this is his last meal when it reality it very well could be.
Dean looks around the room and he's wondering where the hell Sam and Gabe are this morning.
Meanwhile upstairs Sam and Gabe are still in bed. Sam has Gabe wrapped up in his arms and Gabe can feel Sam's emotions through their bond they are screaming how scared he is for what is going to happen today.
Sam stretches and yawns loudly "Morning Gabe." Sam says.
"Morning Sammy." Gabe replies and kisses his boyfriend good morning.
"How's you?" Sam asks.
"I'm fine Sammy, you ready to ice the devil?" Gabe asks.
"As ready as I'll ever be to do this." Sam says.
They get up and head downstairs for breakfast.
"Morning Sammy." Dean says.
"Morning Sam." Cas says looking at the other man.
"Morning Dean, Cas." Sam says.
"Are we ready for today?" Gabe asks.
"Well I don't know how ready we are, but we are doing this." Dean says.
They have a plan they are all going to stull cemetery. Gabe will be the one that unlocks the cage, Sam, Cas and Bobby will just be there for backup. Dean will be the one trying to get Adam back if that is even possible at this point.
They finish breakfast and Dean and Cas go outside to work on the Impala and get her ready for the trip to Stull cemetery.
Sam goes upstairs to get ready taking a shower and dressing before heading back downstairs.
Dean and Cas are outside and Gabe wanders out there while Sam is showering.
"So do you think we are going to win today?" Dean asks Gabe.
"We have a very good chance of winning." Gabe says.
Sam comes out of the house breaking any more conversation up. Sam and Bobby get into Bobby's car they are riding by themselves and Dean and Cas are riding in the Impala. Gabe is beaming himself there when they get there he has things to do before then.
Dean walks over to Bobby's car and sticks his head in the window.
"Ok we'll see you there." Dean says.
"Make sure you keep up." Bobby says.
Dean walks over to the Impala and gets into the driver's seat. He looks over at Cas sitting in the passenger seat and it's weird because it's not Sam he sees there.
"You ready to do this?" Dean asks Cas.
"Not really, but we don't have a choice." Cas says.
Dean turns up the music for a while then turns it back down as a second thought.
"Cas there are some things I need to say to you, just in case." Dean says.
Cas starts to speak and Dean holds up a hand to silence him.
"Let me just say this Cas. It's not easy for me to express my emotions it's girly and I don't like it." Dean says.
"Very well Dean." Cas replies.
"Cas I am not sure how it happened. I am not the falling for anyone type but somehow you got under my skin when I was trying to avoid it. But none the less you got under my skin like no one ever has before. Cas what I'm trying to say here is I love you so fucking much. And if anything happens to you today I am not sure I could survive without you. So keep your ass out of trouble." Dean says.
Dean looks over at Cas briefly because he is driving and Cas has the biggest grin on his face.
"I love you too Dean." Cas replies.
"Good. When we are done with this shit today we are going to talk about us as much as chick flick moments pain me." Dean says.
"As you wish." Cas replies.
Dean turns the music back up louder it's AC/DC playing You shook me all night long and Dean is singing along with it loudly.
They get to the cemetery and Cas and Sam and Bobby get out of the cars. Dean stays in his car so he can roll onto the battlefield in it. Adam shows up well really it's just Michael wearing Adam. Then Lucifer shows up next.
Lucifer and Adam face each other on the battlefield. Lucifer has a new vessel not his true vessel but a new one none the less. Since he can't have his true vessel because Gabe bonded with Sam.
"It's good to see you Michael." Lucifer says.
"You too, it's been too long." Michael says.
"Can you believe it's finally here?" Lucifer asks.
"No, not really." Michael says as he walks towards Lucifer. "You ready?" He asks.
"As I'll ever be, part of me wishes we didn't have to do this." Lucifer says.
"Yeah me too." Michael says.
"Then why are we?" Lucifer asks.
"Oh you know why. I have no choice after what you did." Michael says.
"What I did, what if it's not my fault?" Lucifer asks.
"What is that supposed to mean?" Michael asks.
"Think about it, Dad made everything, which means he made me. God wanted the devil." Lucifer says.
"So," Michael says.
"So why? And why make us fight? I just can't figure out the point." Lucifer says.
"What's your point?" Michael asks.
"We're going to kill each other. And for what? One of dad's tests and we don't even know the answer. We're brothers; let's just walk off the chest board." Lucifer says.
"I'm sorry, I can't do that. I'm a good son, and I have my orders." Michael says.
"You don't have to follow them." Lucifer says.
"What? You think I'm going to rebel? Now? I'm not like you." Michael says.
"Please Michael." Lucifer says.
"You know you haven't changed a bit little brother. Always blaming everybody but yourself. We were together, we were happy. But you betrayed me, you betrayed all of us and you made our father leave." Michael says.
"No one makes dad do anything. He is doing this to us." Lucifer says.
"You're a monster Lucifer. And I have to kill you." Michael says looking at Lucifer sadly.
"If that's the way it's gotta be, then I'd like to see you try." Lucifer says.
Lucifer and Michael circle each other with great intent getting ready for the battle that is about to happen.
Dean puts in a tape and turns up the radio all the way before pulling onto the field slowly. He blasts Rock of Ages as he slides onto the field.
Lucifer and Michael turn around and see Dean's Impala rolling into the cemetery slowly. Everyone else is in their places.
Dean gets out of the car and smirks "Sorry am I interrupting something?" He asks Lucifer and Michael.
"Hey we need to talk." Dean says to Lucifer.
"Dean even for you this is a whole new mountain of stupid." Lucifer says.
"You're no longer the vessel Dean. You got no right to be here." Michael says to Dean.
"Adam if you're in there somewhere I am so sorry." Dean says.
"Adam isn't home right now." Michael says.
"Well then you're next on my list buttercup." Dean says.
"You little maggot you are no longer a part of this story." Michael says.
"Hey assbutt," Castiel calls out to Michael holding a holy fire Molotov.
He throws the cocktail at Michael making him disappear screaming. Dean looks over at Cas.
"Assbutt?" He asks.
"He'll be back and upset but you have your five minutes." Cas says to Dean.
"Castiel did you just Molotov my brother with holy fire?" Lucifer asks Cas.
Cas backs up slowly saying "uh no..."
"No one dicks with Michael but me." Lucifer says as he snaps his fingers and Cas explodes leaving nothing but bloody chunks.
Dean watches the scene unfold in slow motion he screams "NO!" as Castiel explodes.
"Lucifer you need to give it up." Dean says
"You know I've tried to be nice, but you are such a pain in my ass." Lucifer says as he throws Dean against the windshield of the Impala.
Bobby takes out his gun and starts to shoot at Lucifer which is really fucking stupid. Lucifer turns around and looks at Bobby as bullets bounce off him. He turns his hand and snaps Bobby's neck making him fall to the ground. Dean yells "NO!" for the second time that day.
Lucifer starts punching Dena in the face he's working him over pretty good when Sam steps out into the field. He can't just stand by and watch his brother get the shit beat out of him plus he can be a good distraction for Gabe to get into to place to send his brother back to hell.
"Sam, how nice of you to join us." Lucifer says.
"Sammy." Dean chokes out.
"Have you come to say yes?" Lucifer asks.
"No, I can no longer say yes anymore." Sam says.
Lucifer looks at Sam like he's looking deep into his soul.
"Ah yes you bonded with someone haven't you? I can't tell who though. So tell me Sam who did you bond with?" Lucifer asks.
Gabe takes that minute to come out of the shadows he has the rings and he throws them down on the grass. He chants in Enochian making a hole open up in the ground. Sam pushes Lucifer toward the hole and Lucifer grabs on to Sam taking him over the edge with him.
"NO!" Gabe yells out.
Dean looks up his face is swollen and his eye is puffy and he's lost just about anyone who means anything to him today.
Gabe runs to the hole and Sam is still holding on the edge. Gabe grabs him by the shoulders and yanks him to safety. He then chants the words that makes the hole close up and Lucifer stuck in hell forever.
Gabe drags Sam far away from the hole checking him over for any injuries.
Meanwhile Dean thinks his brother is gone he didn't see Gabe pull him out of the hole. He is devastated he's lost Cas, Bobby and Sam all in the same day and he doesn't know how he can go on now. He's kneeling in front of the Impala down on his knees.
Dean looks up because he feels someone looking at him. Its Cas he's standing there whole and not bloody and it's the best sight Dean has seen in a long time.
"Cas you're alive?" Dean asks.
"I'm better than that." Cas says as he touches his fingers to Dean's forehead and heals him.
Dean stands up slowly looking at Cas. "Cas are you God?" Dean asks.
"That's a nice compliment, but no, although I do believe he brought me back." Cas says.
Cas walks off towards Bobby saying under his breath "new and improved."
Cas touches his fingers to Bobby's forehead and Bobby is breathing again and alive. Dean is standing there in awe. He can't believe what just happened.
Then suddenly Sam and Gabe come out of the shadows and Dean is staring at Sam.
"Sammy?" He yells out.
"Dean." Sam yells out.
Dean starts to run towards Sam quickly when he gets there Sam grabs him up into a huge hug.
"We did it Dean." Sam says.
"Yeah we did Sammy, but what I thought you were dead?" Dean says.
"You didn't see Gabe save me?" Sam asks.
"NO I thought you were in the pit with Lucifer." Dean says.
"Nope I was hanging on to the edge Gabe pulled me out." Sam says and smiles at Gabe.
"God Sammy I thought I lost you on top of Cas and Bobby." Dean says.
Bobby walks over to Dean and Sam and Gabe with Cas in tow.
"Sam, Gabe it's good to see you idjits alive and well." Bobby says.
Sam hugs Bobby and say's "thanks it's great to be alive still."
"Cas are you okay?" Dean asks.
"Yes Dean I'm fine. I must return to heaven for now though. I will be back." Cas says.
"Wait you are going to go back to heaven after they jerked your chain for so long." Dean says.
"Yes I believe it's what my father wants." Cas says.
"Fuck what your father wants. What about what I want?" Dean asks.
"Dean I will be back." Cas says.
"Fine just go." Dean says.
They get into their cars Sam riding with Dean this time and Bobby riding alone. Sam looks over at Dean he's worried about his brother since Cas went back to heaven. He thought Cas and Dean were making progress with one another but now he's not so sure.
"Just say it Sammy I can hear you thinking from here." Dean says.
"Are you ok Dean?" Sam asks.
"Yep I'm fine never better." Dean says sarcastically.
"Dean don't lie to me." Sam says.
"What do you want me to tell you how it hurts since he left me? To go back to his father who doesn't even give a crap about him?" Dean asks.
"Well that's good for a start." Sam says.
"I'm fine Sammy." Dean says as he blasts the music making conversation impossible.
They get to Bobby's house and all Sam and Dean want to do is sleep for a week. They head up to their different rooms and when Sam steps into his Gabe is already in the bed waiting for him.
"Gabe." Sam says with a big grin on his face.
"Sammy, did you doubt I'd be here waiting for you?" Gabe asks.
"Well sort of we did just save the world I thought you'd have better things to do then hang with me." Sam says.
"Sam we are bonded now and forever, I don't' ever want to be without you. I love you. I want us to be together forever. Well until you die that is then I will follow you into the afterlife wherever you may go. Which by the way is going to be Heaven." Gabe says.
"You have me mistaken. I can't go to heaven I drank demon blood." Sam says.
"Yes you did, but you also helped saved the world your sin has been forgiven by my father." Gabe says.
"Wow that's... I just don't know what to say." Sam says.
"You could say yes to what I said up there." Gabe says.
"Oh God yes Gabe I love you so much, and I would love to spend our lives together. Do you think Cas is going to come back?" Sam asks.
"Yes I think he is going to come back. In fact I know he is. He's just getting some things into order first." Gabe says.
"Oh well good, I am glad I don't know how Dean would react if he didn't come back." Sam says.
"Well we won't have to find out trust me." Gabe says.
Meanwhile Dean is in his bed and he's cranky but fuck they saved the world today and he should be in his bed with Cas holding him in his arms but no instead he's home alone all by himself. Dean falls into a restless sleep where he dreams about Cas.
The next morning they get up and turn on the TV all the freak storms and incidents that were happening have stopped which is a sure fire sign the apocalypse is really truly over.
Days go by and Dean is getting grouchier as the time passes he's always outside working on cars for Bobby just beating the shit outta things and using his hands like he likes to do.
Suddenly after a week goes by Dean is outside working on a car for Bobby trying to help him make some extra money and Cas appears beside him.
"Jesus fuck Cas we need to get you a bell or something." Dean says.
"Hello Dean." Cas replies.
"Cas." Dean says.
"Sorry it took me so long to return, my father wished to speak to me." Cas replies.
"Oh so I suppose you will be going back to heaven you just came to say goodbye to me." Dean spits out bitterly.
"Not unless you wish for me to. My father says for being one of the only angels to question what was going on, that I get a choice. I can either become human again and live out my life with you or I can be in charge of heaven again." Cas says as he looks t Dean.
Well here it come Dean thinks. This is the part where Cas dumps me for heaven, he will leave me and go back up there and be the head sheriff in town and I won't ever see him again. But at least he will be happy Dean thinks bitterly.
"Well I guess this is goodbye then." Dean says.
"Goodbye?" Cas asks.
"Yes you know that thing people do when they are leaving someone?" Dean says.
"Dean I am not leaving you. I became human I wish to live out my days with you by my side." Cas says.
"You gave up heaven for me?" Dean asks.
"Yes I did." Cas replies.
"Why?" Dean asks.
"Dean I always come when you call, I gave up everything for you. My family my belief's EVERYTHING." Cas says.
"Wow that's just…" Dean says.
"I love you Dean Winchester and I want to be with you always or well until you die." Cas says.
"Cas I love you too and I'd like that also." Dean says.
They walk back into Bobby's house with Dean yelling out "Look who's back."
"Cas welcome back." They all call out.
Dean sits there looking around at his family and he thinks man we made it this far let's see where we are in 5 years from now.
