The woman tilted her head sideways and grinned,"Leave Bailey alone...or else."

"Or else what? I am God, I shall surely destroy you",Cas told her, feeling righteous in his rising anger.

"Your daddy will be very upset and come lay one cosmic bitch slap on your ass."

Castiel was going to end the wench then and there but she vanished into thin air before he could lift a worries. He would find her later. Taking the virgin from Sam Winchester was more important. He had a very small window to implant his seed in her. It was the only way to reclaim this earth from the wretched beings that populated it.

Bailey held on for dear life, gripping tight to each side on Sam's flannel as she cried,"Please, don't let him hurt me!"

Cas stepped toward the girl and stroked her hair, "I'll make a deal with you. Bring me forth a new generation of Nephelim and I shall spare your life. I was going to kill you when your usefulness came to an is a very generous offer."

Dean grabbed Cas by the shoulder and turned him around, "Do you hear how messed up you sound? This is a whole new level of crazy even for you. Look at her, really look at her. See what you're doing to her. We've been here a while and the kid hasn't stopped shaking. Even if you did manage to get your new race going, she wouldn't make it. No man but Sam can have her."

Castiel fought every urge he had to smash Dean Winchester like a in his God state, he had deep feelings for the human in front of knew he was lying when he told Dean they weren't family. Dean was literaly a brother from another mother. What if what they say is true? Bailey was innocent and had commited no crimes against him, she was just to be collateral damage in his war to reclaim the universe in the , he should reevalute his plan for her.

"Very well, I shall go investigate this story you give me. I shall return in 24 hours and give you my verdict. Do not do anything you will regret. Sam Winchester, I give you permission to watch over my female for me until I return."

Sam scoffed, "Gee, thanks,Cas."

Dean and Sam loaded Bailey into the Impala with Sam sitting in the backseat with her, her head in his lap. She was exhausted and beyond scared. Cas treated her like some lamb waiting for slaughter.

Dean kept checking the rearview mirror to make sure she was doing okay while his brother stroked her back, lulling her to sleep. Sam's cheek twitched as he looked down on the girl. Castiel was going to have to pay for this,somehow.

"Sammy, what do you wanna do? I'd usually say let's take her home, but it's obvious that's not safe. She coming to the motel with us?"

Sam nodded at his brother, too angry with the situation to form a response. If it was true,that she was his, what kind of life would she have? His life was the hunt. Saving people. She would be in danger just by association. On the other hand, he would have someone to truly love and care for. Life was impossible.

Thirty minutes later, they pulled into a motel and checked in at the desk. Dean unlocked the door while Sam carried the sleeping girl inside, laying her on a bed. She stirred for a moment, whimpering but fell back to sleep.

The light from the lamp fell across her face and Dean sucked in his breath, "Dude, she's even better looking in real life than her pictures show. Sammy, she's gorgeous. Ya lucky bastard."

Sam looked confused for a moment, he really hadn't paid much attention to her looks and really studied her for the first time. Her hair was a deep chocolate color and her cheeks, naturally rosy. He stroked her cheek gently with the back of his hand. "Very lucky, if it's true. Also very screwed if true. She will always be in danger."

"Sam, whatever comes our way, we'll handle it like we always do. We fight that shit together. We'll keep her safe.I swear it."

As they talked ,Bailey sat up, tugging at the absurd gown Castiel put on her, "It's so hot and itchy, get it off ,I can't take it anymore."

"Uh,uh,Dean, grab one of my tees from my bag and toss it here."

Dean rummaged through the duffle and pulled out one he hadn't seen Sam wear in a while, sniffing it to make sure it was relativaly clean before tossing it to Sam, "That okay?"

Sam nodded as he fumbled with the pearl button at the neck of the gown. He got it loose and without thinking, pulled the ancient garment over her head. Dean's jaw dropped as he took in the sight of at least fifty bruises on varying shades of green and yellow littering her back and ran over and took her chin in his hand, "Did Cas do this to you?"

Bailey covered her chest and shook her head no, "My mom."

"What kind of mom does shit like that to her kid",Dean asked, indignant. He knew Dads could be asshole but moms were supposed to be the safe parent.

"She gets mad at me for not doing ...things, to make her extra money."

"What kind of things?",Sam asked,his stomach turning as he was pretty sure he knew the answer.

"I don't want to talk about it. Can I have that shirt now? I'm kind of feeling a little exposed."

Sam covered his eyes and held out the shirt to her,"So...sorry."

Bailey gave him a little smile and said thanks as she quickly pulled his shirt over her head,"You can open your eyes now.I feel much better, that gown was giving me hell."

Sam smiled pulled back the blanket on the bed, "Why don't you lay back down and rest for a while. We can talk and make a plan in the morning", he told her, kissing her on the forehead.

Bailey nodded and laid back on the pillow. She was tired and Sam's shirt smelled so good, so comforting. She felt relaxed for the first time in a while. It was quiet for some time when she heard thier good nights and she opened her eyes to see Dean getting into bed and sliding a gun and knife under his pillow while Sam poured salt in front of the closed her eyes again and smiled. A few moments later, the other side of the bed sank down and she heard Sam muttering to was going to sleep next to her and she actually didn't hate the idea. A while later, when he turned to his side and pulled her close, she didn't even mind. She felt safe and whole. Was the story true? Were they a couple? He was no Harry Styles but he was sweet and this wouldn't be so he kissed her, she saw ,she moaned against his lips and turned her body towards his.

"Nope,nope, two are not about to get it on with me laying right here",Dean said,reminding them of his existance.

Bailey blushed a deep red,saying a silent thanks for the light being off,"Sorry Dean. Oh my goodness."

Dean smirked,"It's okay. It's Sammy's fault anyway."

Sam laid back, trying to regain his composure. That short kiss with Bailey had sent him had butterflies in his stomach and sweaty palms like a school boy. This feeling was new and exciting. He was thankful for Dean's interuption and that things didn't go too far. His hand had been wandering lower down her stomach when his brother spoke up.

"Don't apologize to him, Bailey. He's a jerk."

"Watch it,bitch. I'll cockblock you until the end of your days,son",Dean told him.

"As will I", Cas said appearing in their room.

"Well,what's the verdict?",Sam asked, sitting up.

"I require more information", he said,as walked over to Bailey. With a flick of his wrist, he turned her onto her belly and pulled her panties down over her hip before she could do anything. Under all the bruises was a faint, purple mark .

Dean jumped up and tried to push Cas away but Cas grabbed him by the shirt and pulled the collar down,"Look,her birth mark matches your tattoos."

"Okay, what does that mean?",Sam prodded, wanting more information.

"It means many things. Why is her body so marred? I did not abuse her. Who did that to her?"

Bailey,wrapped in the safety of Sam's arms,looked up at Cas,"My mother did, for many years."

Perplexed,Cas studied the human female,"Why? Mothers are supposed to love their offspring."

Knowing he would not get the truth from the embarrassed gir,took her head in his hand and dug for the memories. Her mother kicking her, saying awful things,fists, mother telling her to do lewd acts with old men for money. Her mother shall die, by his hand.

He pulled out of her memories and stroked her cheek,"That is all over, and Dean will never allow anything like that to happen again."

Dean pulled Cas to him by the sleeve of his trench,"Anything like what,Cas?"

"It seems her mother tried to sell Bailey's maidenhead to the highest bidder and became enraged when Bailey refused,among other things. Excuse me,I have to take care of something."

"Cas, wait,what does her mark mean?",Sam asked.

Cashad almost forgot the information he gathered after seeing with his own eyes what the girl had gone through,"Oh, means either of you can have her, or you can share her",he said waving Sam's question away. He was too focused on retribution and justice.

Dean stared at the spot where Cas had just stood, "Dude knows how to leave on a cliffhanger."
