I changed the rating because Dean says the F word in here.
Recap: Sam has been captured by a powerful being, and his brother, Castiel, and Gabriel try to rescue him, but get captured as well. Dean finds out from Cas that the being has been torturing the others for three days, while he was been put in a trance. Dean presses to find out what the being has done to his friend.
"This being, after it knocked you out, blocked Gabriel's and my powers, making it very easy to pin us all to the nearest wall," Castiel explained. "It then called on tormented ghosts to take Sam and Gabriel to another part of the house. It had a few place you in here, while it bound me and proceeded to show me mentally all the things it could do to you." Cas stopped talking. "Like what?" Dean asked. "I thought you said you didn't want the details Dean," Cas said. "Well I didn't mean all the nitty gritty details, but how about an example of what it showed you?" Dean asked. "It had me see these images for three days Dean, an example would be very broad," Cas told him.
"Were any of them-you know…uh, sexual?" Dean asked, not wanting to potentially embarrass the angel. "Yes," Cas replied. "And none of them were pleasant." Dean grimaced. "So does this thing have a grudge or something?" he asked. "I'm not sure," Cas said. "Why is it doing this?" Dean wondered out loud. Castiel shrugged. "Perhaps it just likes it." Dean snorted. "The only thing that would like causing us this much pain is a demon, or Lucifer." Castiel flinched at the mention of his fallen brother, but didn't say anything. Dean looked at the door and called out, "What's it expect us to do when we're stuck like this?" "I don't think it wants us to do anything Dean, I think it is letting us rest," Castiel told him. "What?" Dean's face fell. "You mean-?" "It's just getting started," Cas said, interrupting.
Dean swallowed hard. "Is that why I'm awake now? So it can have a go at me?" "That seems very likely," Cas told him. "Great," Dean groaned and sat back. "Might as well get comfortable then, and I doubt it won't be anything I haven't already gone through." "Dean, this is going to be different than Hell," Castiel said. "Yeah, how so?" Dean snapped. "The pain that you will experience won't be physical in any way, it's not going to harm your body, it's going to harm your mind," Cas explained. "I still don't see how that's any different than Hell," the hunter growled. "They really fucked with me, every which way they could." Castiel began to say something and Dean said, "And yes, that's exactly how I meant it." Cas closed his mouth. Then he said, "I was aware of that." Dean's eyes widened and he felt himself flush, in embarrassment. "You did?" "Yes, we watched you in Hell for a little while before attempting to break you out," the angel explained. Dean cleared his throat and looked out the window, getting uncomfortable.
"So are we just going to wait?" Dean called out. "Dean, I suggest we try to save our strength," Cas told him. "Yeah, well, I don't need to, I've been out for three days," Dean said. "But I need to rest Dean," Castiel growled. Dean turned to look at the angel, and his blue eyes were hard. "Sorry Cas," Dean muttered. "You're forgiven," Cas said, then turned to glance at the door again. "Why do you keep doing that?" Dean asked. Cas glanced back at Dean, then to the door. "Because I can feel Gabriel beyond it, it's the only connection I have with him at the moment," Cas explained. "I," he started to say. "I need to stay connected with him Dean, if anyone can get us out of this, it's him." Dean chuckled. "Yeah right, he can't tap his mojo, just like you." Cas looked at Dean. "You forget that he was a trickster, that power isn't tied to his "mojo" like his angelic powers are," he said. "And even if he cannot access his powers, I believe his experience of being on Earth will provide some clue to what we're up against." Dean sighed. "Let's hope so."
Please tell me what you think, I'd be so happy to hear if you like it or not.
And don't worry, on to Sam and Gabe in the next chapter.
