"No, no, no! You cannot make me do it!" for the third time Dean grabbed Castiel around the middle to stop him escaping. "You can, look I'll be there and so will Gabriel. There's nothing to be scared of." Dean tightened his hold as Castiel twisted and turned his body in the hopes of being able to run off. "I'm not going to let you go so stop squirming." He grunted at the force of Castiel's elbow in his stomach. "Dean you do not know my Family!"

"Well it's as good time to meet them." A small whine of protest left Castiel's mouth. "I do not want them to hurt you." Dean barely heard the sentence as he held Cas close. "I can look after myself don't you worry about that, but don't you think it's about time you stood up for yourself Cas?" he pressed his front against Castiel's back so not even air could slid through them. Castiel's head hung low, his teeth chewing on his bottom lip. "I can not do it. Please don't make me do it Dean."

Dean turned Castiel around hugging him tightly, not caring what passer-by's thought. "You can Cas you're stronger than you think, you can't run away forever."

Eventually Cas looked into Dean's eyes. "Okay, I will do it but under one condition." Cas licked his lips slowly. "Do not let me run away."

Both Dean and Castiel felt the thick tension as they entered the Novak household, with a little push Castiel moved forward his heart pounding against his ribs as Gabriel and Raphael came into view. He looked around quickly looking for Michael and his Father. "Castiel." The sound of his name made his blood freeze over in fear, it took several tries until Castiel found his voice. "Raphael."

The Younger siblings never once blinked or broke eye contact. "What do you want Raphael?" his voice shook as he resisted the urge to step back, Raphael's gaze holding power over him. "Father has ordered your return but it seems Gabriel has finally grown a spine." Raphael smirked at Gabriel's furious expression and back to Castiel's fear stricken face. "I must say you are looking well but alas I also heard God's orders of punishment found you in December, Am I correct?" Dean caught Cas before he could run, holding him close. "It is good to know that no matter where you go, there are others who continue to execute what you deserve." Raphael's eyes flickered briefly to Dean as he noted the closeness of his Brother and him. "Do I sense…" his lips twisted cruelly. "Castiel, my own flesh and blood… A Sodomite? How disgusting, that you gave what left of your innocence to this-" Dean flinched against Castiel as Raphael waved a dismissive hand towards Dean and turned to Gabriel. "And you allowed this to happen Gabriel? Allowed our own Brother to engage in such activities." Raphael set his gaze on each individual. "The Coward, Abomination and Deviant. How very convenient that you will have company for the many eternities together burning in the fires of Hell."

"How dare you." Castiel pulled away from Dean's hold as he stepped forward, Gabriel's eyes wide in shock and Dean getting ready to shield Castiel. "What right do you have to say who burns in Hell Raphael?" he took a single deep breath in. "What right do you have? Because you never know you might just be joining us in Hell." Raphael snorted. "I very much doubt that Castiel, the fires of Hell have been waiting to torment you since you were born."

"Well if that is true Raphael, than I would rather spend a millennia or eternity burning in the torment of Hell with Gabriel and Dean then spend a single day in Heaven with you, Michael and Father." Castiel took a step closer towards his Older Brother until only inches distanced them. "Because in the end, each of our souls will be judged by God who makes the final decision to where we belong. And if you speak the truth about Hell waiting for me, I am very much looking forward to seeing you, Michael and Father joining me in the fires. Now leave and do not bother coming back, and do not forget to pass on my regards to Father and Michael."

Raphael's skin had paled dramatically as he left the house slamming the door; a silence filled the room neither person knowing what to say. Dean had not once moved, Gabriel's face held so many different emotions it was impossible to name any of them. "Cas, can I ask when you grew a spine?" Castiel half collapsed against the sofa as the events finally sunk in. "I believe it was about time I stood up for myself, eleven years is far to long to be a victim." He saw Dean nod in agreement as Gabriel gripped the chair for support. "Yeah and thanks for the inviting them to Hell, I was hoping that once I died I'd never have to see them again."

"Gabriel we are not going to Hell we have done nothing to be punished for." Gabriel groaned as Dean snorted with laughter, Dean came behind Castiel wrapping his arms around his waist. "Castiel your sense of humour really does suck."

Dean leaned his forehead on Castiel's shoulder the feeling of his laughter running down his back. "That maybe true but I speak the truth, God will judge us to decide and I feel that Father, Michael and Raphael will not be where they think."

Gabriel rolled his eyes as Dean lifted his head. "He gets pretty serious aboutthis sort of thing doesn't he?" Castiel made a sound as Dean spoke to Gabriel as if was not even present in the room. "I know and it's adorable." Castiel blushed furiously as Gabriel and Dean continued to converse. "He's like our own Little Angel of Fate isn't he?"

"He said what?" Raphael flinched as he felt the full impact of his Father's rage; a crash filled the room as his Father threw the leftover alcohol into the fireplace. "He is corrupt Raphael, do not believe a word he said. The Devil had twisted him for his own cause." Deep down Raphael wanted to believe his Father's words but for the first time he felt doubt in his Father's beliefs. "I see doubt on your face Raphael, our work has given us a place in Heaven. God had judged us and saw us fit to do His work."

A/N: Apologises for all the talk of Heaven, Hell, Torment and Fires :P Go Cas! Go Cas! You tell 'em!
Also got inspired a little by Queer as Folk when Brian said he would rather spend an eternities of eternities burning in Hell then spend a good day in Heaven with his Mother :P
