Castiel whirled to face Lucifer as he came up behind Cas.

"Nothing gets by you." The panther commented.

Castiel shrugged. "I heard you coming." He looked past Lucifer as Roger walked up.

"I told you. His hearing is the best I've ever seen." Roger smirked. "And not to meantion his sense of smell."

"I noticed that when we were hunting earlier." Lucifer agreed.

Castiel cocked his head. "What does that have to do with anything?"

Lucifer smiled. "You'll see. There's a meeting now, we need you there."

Castiel followed Lucifer and Roger to Michael private room. It served as a meeting room, it had a large table and several chairs.

"Hey Rog!" Gabriel signaled him over. "You too Cas."

Castiel followed Roger over, Dean sat down next to Cas. Michael sat down across from them, Lucifer next to him.

"So, now what?" Sam asked, leaning around Gabriel.

Lucifer nodded to him. "We plan the attack. Our pride at its strongest, and is ready to go."

"Then let's mount up." Dean offered. "Sam, Cas, and I have been training all week, and we're ready."

Roger cleared his throat. "I don't like a frontal attack." He commented.

"I agree with that." Gabriel added. "They've got a large number of panthers, even though Roger drowned a few of them."

"It wasn't my fault the idiots attacked us on a dam." Roger muttered.

Gabriel shrugged. "You're the strategist. Go ahead."

Roger shifted in his chair. "Well, I know there are some panthers that are great at sneaking up on people. Haniel for example. And Zeke, who never miss a chance to scare the shit out of me."

"Or any of us, really." Michael told him.

Roger grinned. "So what about a sneak attack?"

Lucifer narrowed his eyes. "We were thinking the same thing. But I think you know something we don't."

"Cas? You want to tell them?" Roger asked.

Castiel blinked. "The tunnels?"

"What tunnels?" Luce, Michael and Gabe asked together.

Cas moved his shoulders. "There's a network of tunnels beneath the pride's cave." He explained. "Roger and I discovered them by accident. A panther can easily fit through them, and they lead all over. Roger and I found one that led to the canyon, one led to the base of the mountain." Castiel fell silent, feeling uncomfortable.

Roger took over. "The tunnels lead into the pride's cave. You have to be really quiet, but we could get a few panthers inside."

Lucifer leaned back in his chair. "Then we'd be able to pick them off. We'd break into three groups. One would sneak in through these tunnels. The second would attack the pride directly. As they fight back, group one would sneak out, and attack. Group three would go through the tunnels, and help group one. They wouldn't have to be as quiet, since there'd be a battle overhead."

"You think you can take on about fifty panthers?" Gabriel asked.

Lucifer shrugged. "We've got to try."

"There's one more thing." Michael spoke up. "We need Castiel to spy on the pride, before we attack."

"What for?" Dean asked, slightly defensive.

Michael glanced at Castiel. "Well, I'd like to know if half the pride is away hunting, and due back any minute. That's not exactly the best time to attack."

"Or if they're ill." Lucifer added a different scenario. "Wouldn't be very fair. And we might get sick as well."

Castiel nodded. "I'll do it." He glanced at Dean. "It's fine. I'll do it."

Dean waited until no one was around to grab Cas by the arm.

"Why are you doing it?" He asked, partly curious, partly concerned.

Castiel met his gaze. "I know the tunnels as well as Roger does. And I'm quieter than him."

Dean narrowed his eyes. "What if they hear you?"

"They won't Dean." Castiel replied. "Roger and I used to hide there and no one suspected anything. No one even thought that there were tunnels."

Dean hadn't taken his hand of Cas's arm. Now he moved it to Cas's shoulder, and leaned forward.

Castiel and Dean's kiss ended due to a gagging noise. The two turned to see Roger, who coughed, and grinned.

"Hairball." He joked, before running off.

Dean grumbled under his breath. "I'm gonna kill him."

Castiel chuckled, Dean didn't mean it. The wolf turned his attention back to Cas.

Me: * Hits Roger *

Roger: Ow. I had a riddle...

Me: Hmm... If anyone can correctly answer Roger's riddle, I will write a fanfic for them.

PB: * Rolls eyes * Great. You'd better have a good one, Cat.

Roger: * Glares * Scientists have proven that cats have more hair on one side then their other side. Some people believe that this is because when cats lay on their side they need insulation from the cold on the floor or ground. Which side of a cat has more hair?
