A dangerous gift

Chapter 2

The angel almost rolled in a ball on the bed. The pain was so strong and he couldn't do anything. It felt like his grace wanted to rip itself out of his vessel. It almost felt like his grace wanted to kill him for some reason. He still had his powers and all, he wasn't supposed to feel pain. He was an angel and angels were not supposed to feel those humans things. What was happening to him? He had been human before but it was never like this.

He put his hands on his stomach, as the pain that he was feeling in his entire vessel, suddenly changed location and went straight to his stomach. He groaned and moved around a small bit. He didn't want to wake up the sleeping hunter next to him but it hurt so badly. A wave of pain hit him violently and he shouted.

Dean Winchester woke up and his mind automatically went in defence mode. He mentally prepared himself in a second and looked around quickly. Nothing dangerous it seemed, only Castiel moving in all directions with his hands tight around his stomach. Wait, what? Dean looked again and his mind changed quickly to protective mode. Why was Castiel in his bed in the first place? Oh right, yesterday…

A strong hand on the angel shoulder made him turned to see his friend. Tears fell from his eyes as he tried to stop the pain. He thought of people that could maybe help him but the pain was way too intense to even think. He felt Dean pulling him closer to his body and he let the hunter move him around. Dean was human, he could help… did this happened to humans? Was he dying?

"Cas, talk to me…" Dean almost begged.

The angel didn't bother looking up, he hid his face in Dean's chest and let the tears fall. It wasn't a normal thing to do, he couldn't cry over that. He was an angel of the lord, a warrior. But it definitely hurt too much to even care about this right now.

"Castiel!" Dean shouted as he wanted answers. His full name. Dean never called him by his full name. He always used that small version of it. Everyone did. But he had used his full name, he was serious about it then, really serious.

"It hurt…" Castiel could only whispered.

"Yeah I can see that, but why? What happened to you?" Dean asked.

Castiel shook his head. He didn't knew what was happening. He had only felt a weird pain in his body and had decided to ask the Winchesters for help but he had collapsed before doing so. He quickly thought of all his brothers. Who was good with healing powers? Balthazar? No, he was gone… Michael? No way… Alright so who could he trust to maybe help him? Anna? Gone… Gabriel! He wasn't dead, was he? Castiel had saw him after his death. But it was something made up by Metatron. So was he still out there, hiding?

"Gabriel…" Castiel whispered loud enough for Dean to hear.

"He's dead, Cas." Dean stated.

The angel shook his head and tighten his hold on Dean's t-shirt. He whispered the name again and Dean sighed.

"What do you want me to do?" He asked after a moment.

"Call him…" Castiel managed to say before collapsing again.

Dean quickly nodded and sat on the side of the bed. He put his hand together and closed his eyes. For Castiel, he said to himself before slowly nodding and whispered quietly.

"Archangel Gabriel… trickster… or whatever you want to be called. We need your help here. I have no idea if you are still out there but Castiel believe that you are so yeah… Your little brother needs you and another angel is probably the only option we have to understand anything that's going on with him. So please, Gabriel, just come take a look at it and don't be a dick for once. You're probably our only hope."

"My, my, Dean-o. You're getting good at those." Gabriel said with his annoying smirk.

"If it were not for him, you would be dead by now… again." Dean said as he stood up to walk to the archangel. "Can you heal him?"

"Heal him? He doesn't need healing." Gabriel said.

"What? He's in pain! I know you're a dick but come on, have some heart for a brother at least." Dean nearly shouted.

"Hey! There is nothing I love more than my brother! Don't you dare, Winchester!" Gabriel shouted at Dean.

"So heal him!"

"I can't heal him if nothing is wrong with him."

"Gabriel…" Dean said as a warning.

"I'm right, Dean-o. Something perfectly normal is happening to little Cassie over here. The boy is becoming a man." Gabriel explained.

"I… what?"

"I can ease the pain but I can't stop what will happen." Gabriel said as he put his hand on Castiel's forearm. A golden light covered him for an instant and was gone soon after. The angel slowly opened his eyes and stared at his supposedly dead brother.

"I knew you couldn't be dead." He simply said to Gabriel.

A smirk came on the archangel's face again and he nodded. "Can't get the trick out of the trickster."

Castiel hissed as he tried to sit on the bed. Dean sat next to him and put a hand on his shoulder. "Are you okay?" He whispered to his friend.

"It still hurt a little bit but I feel better." Castiel said to Dean then turned to Gabriel. "What is going on with me?"

Gabriel looked at Dean for a moment. "You can call your brother if you want. I don't like to repeat myself and maybe moving room would be a good idea too." Gabriel said as he snapped then at the bunker's main room. Gabriel and Castiel sat at the table and waited for Dean to get his still sleeping brother.

"Gabriel?" Castiel suddenly asked. He had more color now, he seemed alright. Gabriel put a hand on his forearm again just to make sure. He looked at his brother and smiled softly. Castiel could see the look of pride in his eyes.

"Yes?" Gabriel replied.

"Why do I feel pain?" The angel asked as he tilted his head.

"I think it's better if I explain when everybody is around to take notes." Gabriel said as they waited for the Winchesters to come sit with them.
