A/N: I'm not a lawyer or a law student so I'm too sure about court proceedings. I did some research and tried to get the terms right but the dialogues are not too accurate. Sorry about that...


"Captain C!" He heard a voice call out. "Wake up, Captain!"

"Ya think he might have hit his head a lil bit too hard?"

"Shut up, Muscle Man! Captain C?"

He feels water sprinkling over his face. He rubs the water off his face and opens his eyes. He was already back at HQ.

"What happened?" Captain C asks, groggily.

"You might have miscalculated the jump and hit the floor faster than you think," Supermom replied.

"Captain C does not make mistakes," he replied, trying to hide his fault.

"Yea, right," Supermom mocked.

He shrugs it off and somehow his brain manages to wander back to those voices. Who were those voices? The man's was new but the woman's? It sounded very much like Supermom's.

"We better get going," Mr R said. "You take the backseat and let us handle the bad guys."

For once, he'll let them have their way.

"Sure," he replies. "But if anything comes up, just call."

"Yea right," Muscle Man answers. "Like we need any help."

And they were gone.

"I think you better rest," Supermom said as she leaves the room. "That was a pretty nasty fall."

"It was nothing," he answers, still stubborn. Supermom shook her head as she left the room.

"Yea, 'nothing' rendered you unconscious for about an hour," he heard from the opposite side of the door.

He shuts his eyes and relaxes. It was not too long before sleep came.


Kate was getting ready for the court case. She was dressed in a white dress (which according to Rick, nothing screams innocent than wearing white) and heels. She puts on her makeup and heads to her son's room. She opens it quietly, expecting him to be up but there he was laying calmly, machines attached to him.

That was when she noticed it. After months of waiting, she sees it. That movement that almost escapes her eyes. Without wasting a second, she races to get the phone. Before she could reach it, she was stopped in her tracks by Martha.

"What's the rush, darling?" Martha asks. "You're not leaving for another 5 minutes."

"It's… It's Caleb," she huffs, trying to catch her breath. "He… He…"

"Calm down," Martha said as she gestures to Kate. When Kate's breathing evens out a little, she continues. "Now, tell me what happened to Caleb."

"He moved," she replied. "I mean I think I saw him move. I'll get the doctor."

She was about to dash off again but Martha stopped her.

"Not so fast, kiddo. I'll get the doctor while you go attend to your court case."

"But Caleb…" Kate started before she got cut off.

"I know. He's your son and you're worried but what's going to happen to him if you end up behind bars?"

Kate mentally takes a step back and reasons with herself. Martha was right. Caleb needs her if he wakes up.

"Ok… If there's anything, don't hesitate to call."

"I will and good luck."

Kate makes her way to her son's room once more and gently kisses his forehead.

"I love you, my brave boy. See you later."

And she left.


He was still confused about the voices. Maybe Muscle Man was right. He might have hit his head a little too hard (twice). Then, Supermom enters the room and finds him sitting on his bed, staring into the dark room. She decides to leave the condition as it is and sits down beside him. He feels it and snaps out of his thoughts.

"What were you thinking about?" Supermom asks.

"Nothing," he replies.

"You weren't thinking very loud," she jokes.

"I was just thinking about those voices," he started before getting loss in his thoughts again. It was until Supermom spoke that he realised that he was drifting off again.

"Maybe you might have hit your head harder than I thought."

"Maybe," he said as he let out a forced chuckle.

"Come on," she said, knowing that something was wrong. "You can tell me."

And he tells her everything.


"Case 41319!" The judge calls out. "Re-trial of Miss Katherine Beckett for the murder of Mr Doug Maclain on the ground of overlooked evidence. Representing Miss Beckett as the defence counsel will be Mr Richard Castle and representing the people would be district attorney, Mr Martin Lee. We have a jury of 12 present here to eliminate any bias results."


"You really don't remember, do you?" Supermom askes.

"Remember what?" Captain C asks in return.

"Who you were before you became Captain C?"


Detective Javier Esposito and Detective Kevin Ryan represented the NYPD and presented the evidence from the crime scene while Dr Laine Parish presented the medical findings. Then, Rick cross – examines Kate, the detective who worked on the case and a few crime scene officers.


"You're living in a dream," Supermom explained. "We're just figments of your imagination. Your real name is Caleb Richard Castle – Beckett."


"The court will be adjourned in 5 minutes with the verdict," the judge announced.

"All rise."

And everybody in the courtroom did. Once the judge left the room, everybody did too.

Rick was getting Kate coffee when he noticed that her tear stained face.

"Kate?" Rick called out. "What's wrong?"

She got up and hugged him. Rick out the coffee down and put his arms around her.

"It's ok," he comforted her. "Just tell me what's bothering you."

"I'm scared, Rick," she mumbled in his arms. "What if our evidence wasn't enough or something goes wrong? What would happen then? And Caleb…"

"Nothing's going to happen," Rick assured her. "You're going to be cleared of all charges and you can continue your life as usual."

"I'm really scared, Rick."

Honestly, he is too.


"You were involved in an accident just before you came here," Supermom continued.

"I still don't understand," Captain C questions. "Am I dead? How did I get here? Moreover, how do I get back?"

"No, you're not dead," Supermom replied. "You're just in a coma. That's how you came here. How to get back is just the matter of how much you want to. You can't stay here forever, Cale. You belong with your family. Your real family."

"Cale?" He recalled one of the voices call him that. "Who are you really?"


"All rise."

And the whole courtroom did. The judge sat and everyone followed. John Scott from the jury handed with the decision from the panel to the judge. Rick crossed his fingers and looked over to Kate. He could feel her nervousness radiating from her. He put a hand over her lap. She notices and looks at him.

"It's ok," he mouths.

She smiles at him and puts her hands above his.

"The panel of jury have made their decision," the judge announces.

Kate and Rick looks at each other for support. This is it…

"Miss Katherine Beckett…"


Thank you for your kind reviews... So what do you think? Guilty or not?
