Last time:
XxxX
Elliot was looking up some youtube music videos to help him write a story about something a rather like he normally does on his phone. He is silent, thinking about the proper words to express the scene in his book while sitting on his bed. Justin walks in and sits on the edge of the bed silently watching.

A smile lighting up his face, seeing his brother doing what he is passionate about. Elliot was so engrossed into what he was doing that he never noticed Justin walking in. He looked up and jumped out of his skin.
"Justin, don't do that." Elliot says trying to hide his shakiness in his voice.
"Don't do what?" Justin asks with no indication that he had heard the trembles in his brother's voice. Although he probably did.
"Never mind." A fickle smile spreads across Elliot's face.
"Okie. What's the new story gonna be about?"
Elliot shrugs. At that particular moment a knock echos through the small house. Justin and Elliot exchange glances.
"You expecting anyone, Dragon?" Elliot asks, using Justin's nickname.
"No. You?"
Elliot shakes his head no.

Sam and Dean arrive around their destination. Everything looks different since the last time that they were here. Too many more houses than in the past.
"I don't recognize anything here." Sam said in a matter of fact tone. "Maybe we should ask for directions. Perhaps someone might know where Cas is."
"Perhaps. Or they could be trying to lure us in. "
Sam points to a run down house that has a certain appeal to it. The sort of appeal that there is something special about the house or the owners.
"Let's try this house to see if anyone can help us." Sam said with a hopeful tone to his voice.
Dean pulled the impala into the driveway and parked it. Dean yanked open the drivers door, walked out, and slammed it shut with his bad ass strong guy attitude. A possible side effect of Kane's mark or just thinking that he could fool everyone with it. Sam does the same, just not with the same amount of oof or bad ass strong guy attitude. Of course Sam isn't fooled by the act but he doesn't say anything about it. The Wincester brothers walked to the front door and Dean rapped his knuckles against the door lazily.

Elliot slowly got off the bed, -but not like they do in Hollywood, - and made his way toward the front door. While Justin wasn't far behind him. Another knock echoed in the house. Taking a big breath, Elliot yanked open the door just as Dean was about to knock again. They stood there in silence for a bit. Justin and Elliot on one side of the doorway and Sam and Dean on the other side, just watching each other. As if they were waiting for the other group to break the silence.

"No one is home. Let's try another house." Dean says as he is about to turn and go to the impala.
"Wait. Knock again. Maybe someone is home but couldn't hear you knock."
Dean rolled his eyes at his brother's antics. But still knocked again.
"Like I said, no one is home."
"Knock again Dean. Please." Sam begged his brother.
Dean went to go knock on the door and when right before his knuckles could brush the grains of the door it swung open. The ajar door revealed a young man. Looked old enough to be in his early twenties at least. And another man who looked about the same age but looked more mature, - no not quite more mature,- more sturdy.
'Great, another homosexual couple. Just great." Dean thought to himself as the silence stretched on.
"We aren't together. We're brothers. " The lease sturdy man said.
All eyes fell on him in shock and he reverted his eyes to the ground.
'Did this guy just read my mind?" Dean asked himself.

The silence stretched to new heights. Then what seemed like an eternity, Sam cleared his throat. Making everyone come out of their little brains, (well more or less little), Elliot went to the side as Justin offered the Winchester boys inside.
"We are looking for-" Sam starts.
"For your friend, Castiel. I know." Elliot says. "I was writing about him."
Dean looked, well he looked like he was about to murder something or someone. Just blame it on the mark of Cain. Although he always had a bit of a temper.
"What do you know about where he is?" Dean growled out.
Justin stood between Elliot and Dean to protect his brother if need be, trying to contain the fire raging inside and licking the surface of his aura.
"He's down the road with Lucifer and other people that I couldn't see well enough to write them in. "
"Is Cas okay?" Sam asked tentatively.
"If you are asking if he is unscathed then no, but if you asking if he is alive then yes."
Justin turns to look at his brother, the fire still licking around him. "How much have you written about Cas?"
"Enough."
XxxX
Dean cooled off a bit, or so I think. But then again you really can't tell if he is ever cooled off. With his temper I'm surprised anything got done really.
"We need to rescue him. We can't just leave him there." Sam said as Dean ponders the situation.
"But you can't just barge in and expect Lucifer to just hand over Castiel. Or even sneak around to get him. You would need a diversion."
"And why should we trust you? You could be a demon for all we know." Dean said in his ever so "manly" voice. (It's more like he is trying to act tough but really he is hiding from his feelings. )
