Do NOT own Supernatural.
Chapter 7
Alexandria and Sam were sitting inside when the doors were slammed open. Castiel barged in with Dean right behind him.
"What the hell, Cas?" Dean asked with irritation.
Sam and Alexandria jumped slightly at the sudden outburst. When Alexandria turned towards Castiel, they stared uncomfortably long at each other.
"This is Castiel." said Dean trying to break the awkward silence between the two.
"He's an angel. Just like you are." Sam said.
Castiel continued to stare at Alexandria in shock and confusion.
"She really must not remember. Maybe it is for the best." he thought.
Alexandria looked at Sam and Dean, annoyed they were bringing up the whole angel thing again.
"An angel? Really?" she asked skeptical. She rolled her eyes and started to turn away from the three men in the barn with her.
Castiel looked at her in confusion.
"You don't believe?" he asked.
Castiel found it strange. he wondered how someone has proof that demons are real and refused to believe, or even consider the fact, that angels could be real as well. Then again, Dean was the same way. As Castiel recalled, Dean shot him, and stabbed him when they first me in the very spot that Alexandria stood at the moment. He still, even then, was successful in convincing Dean that angels were real.
"Maybe I need to do the same with Alexandria." he thought.
"How do I know you really are one? You seem just like any other person to me." she challenged. Alexandria was starting to get annoyed even more. She wondered if she really could trust the Winchesters. As she started to turn to walk away, Castiel stopped her and turned her to face him.
"It's true." he said. Castiel walked over to an empty part of the barn where there was little light. As he turned he looked in Alexandria's eyes with all seriousness.
"I am an Angel of the Lord."
As soon as Castiel said that, the crack of thunder and the light from lightning strikes shone around him. When the light shined on his figure, shadows are large wings appeared on the walk right behind him. Alexandria's eyes widen in amazement. The flashing of light stopped. Alexandria was speechless. Sam and Dean were to the side as they watched the whole scene. The four of them stood silent for what seemed like forever.
"I don't believe it. she said still in shock. "I don't understand. There is no way I can be an angel. I'm not that powerful. I only have the ability to heal people." She looked up to Castiel for answers. The angel still stared at Alexandria himself.
"Cas. Is there something you should tell us?" asked Sam.
"What do you mean?" replied the angel.
"Well, Cas, lets start off with how it's not possible for Alexandria to be here." said Dean with a smirk, referring to when the angel barged into the area.
Castiel knew when Dean and Sam were suspicious. After the way he responded to hearing her name, Castiel also knew that he owed the three of them answers. Alexandria sat on the table in the corner. She, Sam, and Dean looked at Castiel as he finally let out a sigh and began to start his exclamation.
Seeing his struggle, Alexandria wondered to herself that maybe everything she was being told was true.
"Is it true, Cas? Am I an angel?" she finally asked. Castiel gave her a look of slight guilt and nodded.
"Yes. A very powerful one. You're not just an angel. You have the power of an archangel."
Sam and Dean looked at each other and then back at Castiel.
"We've never heard of an archangel named Alexandria." Sam stated confused.
Castiel looked at Sam and replied,
"That's because she wasn't created before two years ago." Castiel said.
Dean was trying to understand, but even after years of dealing with angel's in general, he still didn't quite understand them.
"So, what? God felt like making a new archangel since all of his are gone?" Dean asked.
"God didn't create her, Dean." said the angel.. He looked at Alexandria, who still sat at the table with a confused look. She was still trying to connect the dots with all of the events that took place. They met each others gaze afer a few seconds and Castiel continued.
"I created her." he finished.
As if things couldn't get more crazy, Alexandria's eyes shot wide and she started to feel anxiety and confusion fill inside her. She pinched herself hoping to wake up from a bad dream. Unfortunately for her, she still was in the presence of an angel and two hunters. Sam and Dean were just as shocked as well. Both brothers were speechless. Finally able to get words out, Dean asked,
"What? How?"
Castiel went on to explain.
"When I had those souls in me, I had the power of God. I killed all of Raphael's followers, and all who were against me." Castiel started to slightly choke on his words. reminding himself of all that he had done brought all the pain and guilt back.
Sam gave Castiel a slight pat on the shoulder.
"It's okay, go on," the younger hunter said.
"Most of the angels went into hiding, except one. Alexandria stayed at my side during the whole war. I knew I could trust her. She was betrayed and killed by one of Raphael's followers. I brought her back, and I made her stronger than ever. To ensure that she wouldn't be killed again, we bounded our grace together. She found the rest of Raphael's followers while I spent my time on Earth."
Sam showed as much sympathy as he could towards Castiel. In a way, he could relate to him. He'd been over come by power when he was with Ruby. He knew what having power can do to a person, human or not. Dean on the other hand was confused.
"So you killed the bad humans and she killed the bad angels?" he bluntly asked.
"Dean!" barked Sam at Dean giving him the typical 'Sam Bitchface'.
Castiel bowed his head in shame.
"I wish I could take it back, Dean." he said with pure guilt in his voice. Dean, after receiving a glare from Sam, looked over and apologized to the angel. Alexandria was unable to think straight. She thought being an angel would be something to be honored by. Now she hears she is a murderer in Heaven.
"I don't understand. I don't remember any of this." she muttered out.
"You said you don't remember anything before two years ago. Can you explain that, Cas?" asked same.
"Don't you remember, Sam? Two years ago, I was killed by Leviathans, and they took over. I assumed that since I died, she would be gone as well, instead it looks like she had the same fate I did."
"Yeah, but Cas, all you had to do was gank some demons and you remembered. She killed some guy and nothing." Dean reminded.
Castiel thought about it. It should have worked the same way.
"Maybe..." he started. "Maybe she's not all here."
Castiel walked over to Alexandria.
"I need to see your grace. Just don't move." he informed.
Alexandria nodded her head and shut her eyes. Castiel place his hand on her heart. Suddenly a bright light filled the room. The light after a few minutes faded. Sam and Dean uncovered their eyes. Castiel looked at them with a look of complete understandment.
"She doesn't have all her grace. Only a slight portion of it. That's why she isn't at her strongest, why she can't remember." he explained.
Sam and Dean looked at Castiel.
"Where's the rest of her grace then?" asked sam.
"With me. That explains why I was able to present my true form to Crowley. I had the extra strength from her grace with me."
Sam and Dean started to understand. Alexandria finally snapped out of her shock. She stood up from the table and walked towards Castiel.
"You created me, and my grace is bound to you." she started.
"I had to connect our grace in order to fully bring you back." Castiel said looking at Alexandria in sympathy. He knew all of this information must be hard to take in so suddenly.
"Does that mean you're my father?" she asked with tears forming in her eyes.
Castiel looked down, then glanced towards the two brothers. Sam and Dean both looked at Castiel, waiting for him to give his answer.
"Cas?" Dean asked with slight concern in his voice.
Castiel could read Alexandria's thoughts. He could see that the past two years, she had wanted to meet her real parents. And now, more than ever, she wanted to truth. Castiel looked Alexandria in the eye. He thought to himself the resemblance she had. Her blue eyes, dark brown hair. Finally, Castiel snapped out of his train of thought and answered her question.
"Yes. I'm you're true father."
That's chapter 7 there. Hopefully I can get chapter 8 up soon! Hope you guys enjoyed it! Please leave me some of your comments and/or suggestions! I really want your ideas. I'm also thinking of another story plot! Its going to be a supernatural version of an Angel episode. So maybe I can work some Destiel magic in that! :)
