Ok after Friday's Episode of Supernatural I needed some Happiness. So here is my version of what should have happened then continued.
Disclaimer: If I owned Supernatural then it would not have ended how it did. And Cas and Dean would be happy and in love somewhere. But Eric Kripke own's them and he is in charge so it ended how it did. And without further ado onto the story again.
Oh and again the story is beta'd by the lovely and talented Fallen4Cas. Who also has wonderful stories on here so check her out.
Chapter 4
After the conversation with Bobby, Dean needs a drink. He pours himself a shot of whiskey. Drinking it, feeling the warmth slowly slide down his throat. Bobby's gone off working on a lead about H.P. Lovecraft. The young man knows a lot about what happened on the night of the Party Lovecraft had that may or may not have opened purgatory. The man is telling him about how the party that happened in 1937. The party where H.P tried to open purgatory, the party where they think they failed but they didn't. Cas has already been here, he's already one step ahead of Bobby. Bobby gets the name of a guy who was at the party. His mom was a maid there. He finds out he's in a mental ward, and has been since that night.
Balthazar summons Cas to a place with trees and it's quiet and pretty and you can hear water of some kind in the background.
"Cas, Cas, Cas." He says. "It's good of you to come."
"Balthazar why did you summon me here?"
Balthazar replies. "Can I ask you a direct question?"
Cas says. "Of course." Cas and Balthazar look at each other. Balthazar trying to read Castiel's thoughts.
"Are you in for grande with the King of Hades?" Balthazar asks.
"Course not." Cas replies, a little too quickly.
Balthzar chuckles. "Always was such a terrible liar. So it's true? Alright then. Why?"
"It's a mean's to an end. Balthazar you understand that."
"Oh absolutely. But what's the end here exactly? Raid purgatory, snatch up all the souls?"
"Win the war" Cas replies.
"And I assume you'd be the vessel am I correct? Suck up all those souls into yourself? All that power."
"It's the only way." Cas says.
"Or too much juice for you. In which case you explode taking a substantial chunk of the planet with you."
"That won't happen." Cas replies.
"Sure, sure. Of Course." Balthazar chuckles some. "Just tell me that it's entirely risk free."
"I'm sorry that I didn't tell you. But I need to know. Are you with me or not?"
Balthazar chuckles again and smiles smirking. "You know you may be certifiable but fine. In for a penny in for a pound."
"How'd you hear about this?" Cas asks Balthazar.
"Your howler monkeys of course. They were just a touch worked up about that whole kidnapping business."
Balthazar leaves then. He heads to the Winchesters. He flies in the kitchen, scaring Sam.
"What are you doing here?" Sam asks.
Balthazar says "I've decided to help you. I am gonna be your double agent."
Dean comes in the room saying. "Who says we want your help?"
Sam says. "Dean we could use some help here."
Dean says. "How do we know we can even trust him?"
Balthazar says. "Look I like earth. And what Cas and Crowley are gonna do is destroy it. So I am here to help you. Plus I want to help Cas. He's in over his head here."
They accept Balthazar's help and Balthazar says he will be in touch and leaves.
Bobby meanwhile is following the lead he found. He heads to the mental hospital to visit the son of the maid. He is a man in his 80's and Bobby sits with him and he asks. "So what happened that night?"
The man replies." Are you sure you're not with that other reporter in the coat?"
Bobby replies. "No sir I am not affiliated with his paper at all. I have questions about a dinner party you were at."
"You know the story, they did their spell, and they said it failed. But it worked, a door opened, and something came through. But it was invisible. So no one knew except me."
"How did you know?" Bobby asked.
"Because it took my mother. I have a picture would you like to see?"
Bobby takes the picture and is shocked by what he sees. He tells the man. "Thank you for your time. You've been very helpful and I am sorry for the loss of your mother." And then he leaves.
Bobby drives to Dr. Visak's house. They sit down and Bobby tells her what he's found out about her. He offers her protection. She refuses it and says. "I have a few places I can go if I need to." Bobby leaves and heads back to Sam and Dean.
The next day he gets a call from the doctor telling them to meet her somewhere. It's an alley. So they go there and Bobby calls her. He hears her cell ringing and walks around the corner and finds her leaning against a crate, blood coming from her stomach like someone's cut her to bleed her.
She says. "I guess I should have used your protection." She tells Bobby how to open the door to purgatory. Telling him that she already told the demon and the angel. "You need the blood of a virgin and the blood of a purgatory native. Which obviously they have that now." She dies in Bobby's arms.
Cas flies into the alleyway "I'm sorry this had to happen. Crowley got carried away." He says.
Bobby flies up at Cas Dean is holding him back. "I bet it was all Crowley you son of a bitch."
Dean says to Cas. "You don't even see it do you? How totally far off the rails you are."
"Enough." Cas breaks in. "I don't care what you think. I've tried to make you understand, you won't listen. So let me make this simple. Please go home, and let me stop Raphael. I won't ask again."
"Well good because I think you already know the answer." Dean says.
Cas looks away from Dean.
"I wish it hadn't come to this. Well rest assured when this is all over, I will save Sam. But only if you stand down." Cas says.
"Save Sam from what?" Dean replies.
Castiel walks over to Sam places his hand against the side of his head. Knocking down the wall that is in his mind that death put up to protect him from his memories. Cas disappears then in a whoosh of air. Sam collapses on the floor Dean runs over to him yelling his name. "Sam. Sammy." He screams. Dean picks up Sam off the ground and they go back to Bobby's. Putting Sam in the panic room. Sam is trapped inside his mind now. Dean can't believe what Cas has done to Sam. He is so hurt/betrayed and pissed off. He never thought Cas would be the one to let the wall down in Sam's head. He doesn't know if he'll ever be able to forgive Cas for this.
Sam has to piece himself back together. So he can wake up. There is bad Sammy he's got to put back and then there is the Sam from hell. All the memories of what happened in the cage. So he can be whole again. He's lying on the cot when Balthazar shows up. He has the address of where Crowley and Cas are. He gives it to Dean saying "He's done. He's betraying a very powerful friend. They all are." And he leaves.
Dean doesn't want to leave Sam alone in the panic room at Bobby's but he really doesn't have a choice right now. He tells Sam. Put yourself back together and come help us. He leaves him the address and a gun hoping he will be ok.
Cas is with Crowley at the address Balthazar gave them.
Cas informs Crowley. "We are renegotiating the terms."
Crowley says. "Is that so? What terms do you purpose?"
Cas says. "You get nothing. Not one single soul."
Crowley replies. "If you kind of notice it's not fairly weighted. Castiel you wouldn't dare. I brought you into this deal."
"You think I'm handing all that power to the King of Hell? I'm neither stupid nor wicked." He replies.
"Unbelievable you've forgotten you're the bottom in this relationship?" Crowley says.
Cas replies. "You have two choices. You can flee or you die."
Crowley replies. "WE made a pact. Even I don't break contracts like this."
Castiel replies again. "Flee or die."
Dean and Bobby show up at the address Balthazar gave them. Bobby says. "Looks like 10 of them."
Dean replies. "10 demons?"
Bobby says. "Nope Angels."
Dean says. "Bobby we can't gank 10 angels."
Bobby replies. "Nope we have to sneak in there."
Castiel is sitting there with the blood in his hands Crowley gave him for the ritual when Balthazar comes flying in.
"You rang Cas." He says.
"We have a problem. Dean Winchester is here." Cas replies.
"Really?" Balthazar says. "Oh how'd he even know where we were?"
"Apparently we have a Judas in our midst." Cas says.
"Oh. Holy Hell. Who is it? I bet it's that chubby little cherub isn't it?" Balthazar replies.
"I don't know. But I need you to find out." Cas says.
"Of course, right away, right away. What do you want me to do about Dean?" He asks.
"Nothing I'll handle him myself." Cas says.
"Castiel are you alright?" Balthazar asks him.
"First Sam and Dean, and now this. I'm doing my best in impossible circumstances. My friends, they abandon me, or plot against me. It's difficult to understand." Cas replies sadly.
"Well you'll always have little old me." Balthazar replies. Cas flies up behind him, sliding the sword into his back all the way thru to his chest. "Yes I'll always have you." He replies. Balthazar says "Cas." As light shoots out of him and the angel dies.
Black smoke growling fills the sky covering up the windows. Cas looks around. Crowley shows up and says. "Never underestimate the King of hell darling." Raphael shows up then. Crowley tells Cas he's made a new deal. With Raphael as his new partner. They tell Cas to give them the blood and flee or die. Cas throws the blood at Crowley and disappears.
Raphael drinks the blood so the ritual can begin. Crowley starts chanting the words they need to open the door to purgatory. Dean and Bobby sneak into the room standing on the top level at the stairs. Dean throws the Angel Sword at Raphael's head. Raphael catches it without even turning around. With a wave of her hand she flings Bobby down the stairs. Then she flings Dean up in the air and he lands on a table crashing hard. Crowley finishes the chanting and they all wait but nothing happens.
Suddenly there's a change in the air a rush of air. Castiel shows back up in the room with a jar of blood. Dean looks at him. Raphael says. "Castiel give us the jar." Crowley says. "The jar is empty, and asks how'd your ritual go Cas? Better than ours I bet." Castiel lights up suddenly brighter then Dean has ever seen an angel light up. Dean is just staring at him watching. He's kind of in shock. Raphael is scared you can see it in her face. Crowley says. "Time for me to go. Exit Crowley stage left." And he disappears.
Raphael says "Castiel you're not gonna let him go? And kill me your own brother are you?"
Castiel replies. "I have plans for him. You betrayed me however." And with a snap of his fingers Raphael explodes.
Dean and Bobby slowly get up off the floor now. Dean is scared he would never admit it however because that is not a Dean thing to do. This is not his Cas. Not the Cas he fell in love with. And yes he's finally going to admit he's in love with him now. He just hope's it's not too late.
"So you see I saved you." Cas says.
"You sure did Cas. Thank you." Dean replies.
"You doubted me, fought against me. But I was right all along." He says looking at Dean.
"Yeah Cas you were. And we're sorry." He replies. "Now let's just defuse you. Ok?"
Cas says. "What do you mean?"
"You're full of nuke. It's not safe so before the eclipse ends. Let's get them souls back to where they belong." Dean says.
"Oh they belong with me." Cas says.
"No they are scrambling your brain." Dean replies.
"No I am not done yet. Raphael had a lot of followers and I must punish them severely." Cas says.
Sam shows up at this point not looking so great. He picks up the angel sword and stabs Cas in the back with it. Dean screams out. "NO!" Castiel rips the sword from his body. "I'm not an angel anymore. This can't kill me. Nothing can kill me. I'm your new God."
Dean steps forward scared out of his mind that he's not gonna be able to get through to Cas. That he's too far gone already.
Dean says. "Wait a minute." He looks deep into Cas's eyes. Hazel green meeting the blue like they have done so many times before.
Dean says. "Cas I know there's a lot of bad water under the bridge right now. But you have to know how I feel."
Cas just keeps staring at him. Dean can't believe he is about to get all chick-flicky in front of Bobby and Sam.
"Cas I'm in love with you. I think I've been in love with you since you pulled me out of hell. I want you to be with me. I want us to have a life together." He says with tear filled eyes. "I need you to come with me to Bobby's right now. Please so we can fix you."
Cas thinks. He thinks about what Dean is saying. Dean is in love with him? Dean wants him? He's wanted Dean for so long now. His heart rejoices at what Dean is saying. He steps forward and looks at Dean. Sliding his hands up to the hunter's face. Before sliding his mouth slowly over Dean's brushing his lips softly against his. Dean slides his hands around the back of Cas's neck, sliding his fingers into his hair at the back of his neck. Kissing him back slowly. Dean feels like he is finally coming home. Cas breaks the kiss smiling at Dean he says. "I love you too."
