Castiel took my advice and started to tell us what happened to him.
"I was trying to keep the angel tablet safe, when Naomi found me."
Dean looked in the car mirror at Cass.
"She's the one that did this to you?"
"Yes and no. While she was questioning me about the tablet, Crowley showed up."
I turned my body and looked at Cass.
"Seriously, is there anything Crowley isn't involved in?"
Dean gripped the steering wheel even harder and his eyes became more serious.
"You know, if you trusted me with the tablet, none of this would've happened to you."
Sam and I looked at each other. There's going to be some serious tension now that Cass will be staying with us.
The next morning, I went to the main room after I finished showering and got dressed. Sam was hard at work looking at documents.
"Morning."
I went up behind his chair and wrapped my arms around his neck and kissed him.
He turned his head even more and moaned into the kiss.
"Good morning," he said correcting me.
"You know, Dean won't be in the room for a least a few more seconds. You wanna give me another?"
That statement made me giggle like a 4-year-old getting candy for Halloween.
"Why of course," and planted another kiss on his lips.
We didn't even notice Dean was in the room until he cleared his throat. Sam and I broke away from our kiss and I sat down next to him.
"Seriously, there are a hundred rooms in this place. If you two are feeling frisky, go get one that I won't walk into."
Sam smiled.
"I'm sorry, I can't help myself. Do you blame me?"
Dean shot a look at me. "No, can't say I do."
My face started getting red.
"So, is that all of it?", I asked, pointing to the files Dean had in his hands.
Dean chuckled.
"Yeah.. no. Not even close. See, the man of letters kept files on every demonic possession in the last 300 years."
Sam took the files from Dean and put them on the table. All of the sudden, He held his head in obvious pain. I leaned closer to him and rubbed his shoulder.
"Not feeling so great?"
"Yeah. My whole body hurts. I feel nautious but, I'm starving at the same time, and everything smells like rotting meat."
"Yeah, I've had that hangover. Yager, man."
Sam and I just looked at Dean. He smiled an awkward grin.
"Maybe you should take a break, ya know, get some fresh air."
I agreed with Dean.
"Sam, Dean's right."
"The only thing that will make me feel better is finishing this."
Once again, the argument was a waste of breath.
"Alright, I'll go get you some grub. Help get your strength up."
Sam handed me half of the files in front of him.
" Good Morning."
All of us looked at the angel who was at the top of the stairs. Dean walked past him and headed into the kitchen.
Cass looked around the room.
"I like this bunker. It's orderly."
Sam raised his eyebrows.
"Give it a few months. Dean wants to get a ping-pong table."
"That's a game right?"
I chuckled under my breath. Only Cass.
Cass leaned on a chair and hunched over, trying to shake off the pain. I looked up from the files.
"Cass, you okay?"
"yes, it's just my wound isn't healing as fast as I would like. But I'm getting better, and you're getting worse," he responded, now directing his attention at Sam.
Believe me, Cass, we know he's worse. Anytime someone point s that out, it hurts me more and more knowing I can't help the man I love.
"Well two trials down, one to go."
"Do you know what the final test is?"
"I have to cure a demon."
"Of what?"
"Thats what we have to find out."
Dean walked into the room with a try of food for Sam.
"Soups on."
He placed it in front of Sam. I chuckled.
"Ha, that looks like a breakfast for champions right there."
"It's all we had left."
"So, we only have beef jerky, peanut butter cups, and a beer?"
Dean shook his head.
"I'll go make a run."
Dean went to the chair that had his jacket hanging off the back of it. Cass got up from the chair he was now sitting in.
"I'll come with you, Dean."
"Dean, I'm sorry."
"For what?"
"For everything."
"Everything? Like uh.. ignoring us?"
"yes."
" Bolting off with the angel tablet and loosing it cuz you didn't trust me. You didn't trust me."
"Yes."
Well , it's not going to cut it. You can take your apology and cram it up your ass."
"I thought I was doing the right thing."
"yeah, you always do."
Shit. The tension in this room was so thick you could probably cut it with a knife. That's when Sam cleared his throat.
"Uh, do we have a room 7b?", looking at Dean.
Dean nodded and Sam went to walk with him to the room. It was just me and Cass in the room now.
"Dont worry Cass, Dean will come around."
"I don't blame him for ignoring me. i just want to fix it."
"I know you do. and you will. You've done it before, you can do it again. You make mistakes. Yes, they can be drastic, but you always redeem yourself. Dean will forgive you when he's ready. Just be patient."
"Thank you, Jalissa. You give very admirable advice."
"Oh, thank you. And your welcome."
Sam and Dean came back into the room with an old movie reel.
"We are watching a movie? I'll go make some popcorn."
I got up and went to the kitchen. Sam put the movie in the projector. When I came back, the movie just started. let me tell you, it's was the most creepiest movie I've ever watched. My eyes were glued to the screen the whole time. I think everyone's were. I noticed that the excerism that was performed in the video was different. I've never heard it before. After a few minutes, the movie ended.
"Well, that was wierd with three exclamation points."
I looked at Dean.
"Dean, I don't think wierd even covers it."
"That wasnt a normal excersism they changed the words."
Yes, I wasnt the only one who realized that.
Cass came into our conversation.
"I believe that louster is latin for wash or cleanse."
Yeah, cuz that was the freakiest part of the video was the vocabulary. What about the bloody high-five or the chest burster? Anything else on the film directors commentary or sequel."
Sam got onto his computer.
"Okay Father Max Thomson, the one who performed the excerism in the video died, but the other one is alive in St Louis."
"You think this kind of wierd is worth the drive? "
"Dean, everything in those folders, the possessions ,the deals, all of it we've seen. but that, that was all new, yea its worth the drive."
"Okay lets roll."
Cass got up from his seat.
"Not you ,"Dean said in a stern voice.
"Sam's more damaged than I am."
"yeah, that might be true, but even when Sammy is damaged he comes through."
"I just want to help."
" We don't need your help. stay here, get better, and watch out for jalissa."
Sam bent down and kissed me.
"We'll be back soon."
"okay, be safe."
When both of the guys left, I grabbed the files that sam left behind and looked through them to see if we missed anything.
"Hey cass, do you wanna help me.."
I heard the flap of angel wings. I looked up and he was gone.
So much for him staying put.
