The Power of Two:
"Dad!" Nathan interrupted and Bobby's eyes went to his. "We talked, and I decided that I want to help."
"What?" Bobby growled out.
Dean and Sam's eyes widened at the unexpected omission; Nathan had only been gone for about an hour.
Nathan held up his hands in a calming matter as he spoke. "You gave me a choice, dad. I didn't want to live a life with the constant fear and danger—the threat of loosing someone that I loved. But what good would a basketball career be if the world was going to shit?" Nathan took a breath, glanced behind him at Castiel before he looked back at Bobby, his eyes unconsciously going to Dean's for a second. "This situation that you've gotten yourself into is big, dad, big. And I can't believe that you didn't say a thing to me about it. You need, all of you need help and Castiel needs help; and apparently I can help." Nathan may have rolled his eyes a little at that. "I could be a possible solution, and I'm willing if it can save the world from what I'm told, could be an inevitable destruction."
There was a beat of silence.
"What the hell did you tell him, Cas?" Dean demanded.
"I spoke the truth." the Angel answered simply.
"Mm-hm, and what was that?" Dean cocked a brow, his arms crossed over his chest.
"Events that have come to pass and some that are bound to happen if we do not solve this quickly and precisely." Cas answered blandly, his expression as still as it had been when Dean had first met the Angel in the barn.
"And what's bound to happen?" Dean asked, his nostrils flaring slightly.
Sam looked between his brother and the Angel confused, Bobby looked to be in the same state, but Nathan just seemed to be waiting patiently for Dean and Cas to be done with this cat and mouse game.
"We have had this discussion many times before, Dean." Castiel told him.
"Yeah! And apparently we were just running around in circles because you don't seem to listen to any of it." Dean's hands clenched into fists at his side in his frustration.
"Enough!" Nathan shouted.
There was utter silence and four sets of eyes drew to him, two of those accompanied by raised brows of surprise.
"I may have only been at this for really less than an hour, but it doesn't seem that complicated." he didn't need to look at Cas, knowing that the Angel knew that he agreed so he only had his father and brothers to convince. "The Devil wants out of Jail so he get his gang of Demons to start breaking all the Seals that hold him in; his guards, the Angels try and fight back, but end up causing more trouble than no, so they bring in outside help, which is you guys. The solution is simple, YES, is all that is needed."
"You're wrong," Dean said.
"How so?" Nathan asked, Bobby staring at him in shock.
"Because," Dean said. "By saying YES, we are admitting defeat. If we allow Michael free, then we are letting Lucifer free—and in the end, the Apocalypse. The Angels don't care about Humans, they think that its Fate that the world be destroyed and a new one born in their picture—they are a bunch of selfish dick-heads." he directed that part at Castiel, who didn't even bat a lash.
Nathan shook his head. "That's not it at all, Dean."
"Nate," Bobby finally spoke. "Don't do this."
"I haven't done anything yet, dad." Nathan said calmly. "I'm an adult, I can make my own choices; I believe what Castiel has told me and I'm going to fallow my gut."
"You can't just go with your gut on something like this; you have no idea what's really going on." Sam protested.
"Did you find anything wrong with what I said before?" Nathan asked.
"Well no, but..." Sam trailed off, looking to Dean and Bobby for help.
"Look, I'm not trying be rued and act as if I know what the hell I'm doing—I don't, but I can't see the reason why you would draw this thing out as much as you guys have. I get the fact that it's scary—I probably wouldn't have made it as far as you guys have if I had chosen to Hunt instead." Nathan took a slow breath, glancing behind himself at Castiel; he was nervous around the man, but he couldn't see any lies in his aqua blue eyes. "I may not be much or know much, but I can help; it's just a matter of you accepting it."
"No offence," Dean said. "But you're just a kid; you'd just get in the way."
Nathan let out a short laugh. "I don't know if you recall, but we are twins and that means that we're the same age—you can't call me a kid." he scoffed.
"That may be so," Dean agreed. "But in our world, you are; so don't come in here claming to know what's-what after half an hour with an Angel who kidnapped you!"
"Really? I never said that I knew what was what!" Nathan growled, his own hands clenching at his sides as Dean bared his teeth at him.
"You're acting as if you do." Dean and Nathan were nose and nose. "Saying that it's as simple as saying YES, when it isn't nor will it ever be—you have no idea what is really going on!"
Sam watched them with wide eyes, too surprised to actually try and stop the two of them from ripping the other's throat out. And he wasn't sure which would get the job done either; before he couldn't really see it, but now that they were in action he could so tell that they had been in Mary's womb at the same time; because Dean didn't get this excited with just anyone.
Bobby had other ideas though, and squeezed himself between the two, pushing them apart. "Enough!" he hollered.
That did cause them to stop arguing, but no way was it going to stop the twin glares.
"If you two yahoos are done, we have things that need to be discussed." Bobby sighed, rolling his eyes. "As much as I don not want this, we need the help and Nathan can provide it. No arguing," he gave a pointed look at Dean who clenched his jaw 'cause Nathan was giving him a smug look. "And no being a bone-head about it." he looked at Nathan who quickly dropped the smugness off his face, but there was still a spark of it in his emerald eyes as he looked at Dean.
"Okay, so what's the plan?" Sam asked, feeling an awkward silence starting to set in.
"Well, since no one is YESing any time soon or ever if I can help it, the best that we can in try and prevent the Demons from breaking Seals." Bobby said when no one else spoke.
The rest of them shrugged their shoulders in agreement.
Note: I'm not sure when I will update next; I'm kind of stuck on where I want to take this or how far I take this.
I hope that you have enjoyed what I have written so far, and I do hope that you review. There have been no Dean and Nathan fics before I came along, so I do hope that you like this crossover pair as much as me!
