Dean's plan seemed to work out great. Castiel dutifully watched over Blaine from the time he came home from school, to the time he left for school the following morning. Blaine and Castiel grew closer from the arrangement. Blaine taught Castiel a lot about humans and various inventions and culture. Castiel reciprocated by teaching his son all about the angels, heaven, and the Enochian language.
Currently, Castiel was teaching Blaine to utilize his powers more. Now, they were working on electronic manipulation. Blaine managed to drive his car around town without even touching the wheel.
"Let's try contacting your dad and uncle through the radio now." Castiel suggested. "I just called them, and they are in their motel room."
"Okay, but wouldn't I need to know which motel room?" Blaine asked.
"Not necessarily." Castiel answered. "You just have to picture in your mind, Dean in a motel room…"

"Anything on the mutilated chick?"
Dean and Sam were in their motel room working on a case. Dean of course was munching on food and Sam was at his laptop.
"Nothing out of the ordinary." Sam shook his head. "She was an honor student, and-"
They turned around when they heard their alarm clock radio crackling. "What the hell?" Dean looked over the radio and hit it a few times.
"Dean? Hell…an…hear…ee?" Blaine's voice came crackling through the radio.
"Blaine?" Dean asked in surprise.
"I….each….you…through…radio." Blaine explained. "Dammit."
The radio stopped crackling. Sam stood and walked to the bed. "Um…what the hell just happened?"
"I think Blaine just tried to Angel Radio me." Dean said, setting the radio down. The TV turned on and started fuzzing as well. Then, Blaine's face came on.
"Hey, it worked!" Blaine exclaimed. Then the TV turned off.
"For like, a hot second." Dean chuckled. His phone rang. "Hey, Blainey. What's up?"
"Sorry. I was testing out electronic manipulation." Blaine explained. "Guess I still need practice."
"Well, practice does make perfect." Dean replied. "Have you tried anything else?"
"I drove my car around town without touching the wheel. Or the pedals." Blaine said triumphantly.
"Good job, buddy." Dean congratulated. "Keep up the good work."
"Thanks! I'll talk to you later."

The next day as school drew to a close, Kurt approached Blaine looking solemn. "We have a problem."
"Okay." Blaine closed his locker and turned to his friend looking concerned.
Kurt took a deep breath. "So…first of all, this is gonna get out anyway. That's why I'm telling you that Finn is not the father of Quinn's baby. She cheated on him with Puck."
Blaine was surprised. "Wow. Uh…does Finn know?"
"He does now." Kurt lifted and dropped his shoulders. "He freaked out on Puck and quit Glee. We need twelve members in order to compete, and…."
"You want me to fill Finn's spot." Blaine guessed.
"Yes. All you would have to do is sway in the background and mouth the words of the songs." Kurt explained. "After this, I will owe you for life."
Blaine chuckled. "You don't have to owe me anything. I'll do it."
"Really?" Kurt asked, eagerly. Blaine nodded. "Oh, thank you, thank you, thank you! Ooh, we should tell Miss Pillsbury. She's filling in for Mr. Schue. Long story."
"Okay, sure. When's the competition?"
"Tomorrow afternoon." Kurt said. "I'll buy you lunch beforehand. Make sure you keep hydrated."
"Okay. See you tomorrow."

The next afternoon, Blaine was decked out in a black button down shirt, black pants, and a thin, red tie. He followed the Glee club members onto the bus, and sat next to Rachel.
"Hello again." Blaine greeted.
"Hello." Rachel replied. "Thank you for filling in."
"No problem." Blaine smiled. "Kurt explained the situation in detail."
Rachel nodded and looked slightly guilty. "If I had known he was just gonna up and leave, I would have waited until after Sectionals to tell him."
"But then, he would have been mad at you for keeping it from him." Blaine said wisely.
"Oh, yeah…" Rachel sighed. "Well, that's enough drama for one day. So, tell me about yourself. Are you an only child?"
"Almost." Blaine shrugged. "I have an adopted older brother, but I never see him."
"Oh, you're adopted?" Rachel asked.
"Yeah, but my adopted parents gave me back to my real mom and stepdad a couple of years ago." Blaine nodded. "Then my mom died just last summer, I met my real dad and uncle, aunt, and cousin. Then my aunt and cousin died a few months ago."
"Yikes. I'm sorry." Rachel said sympathetically.
"It's okay." Blaine replied. "What about you? Do you have siblings?"
"No." Rachel shook her head. "I have two dads."
"Really? That must be fun." Blaine smiled.
Rachel chuckled. "Yeah…that is one of the reasons I'm such an outcast. All those stares and disgusted looks when we go out, and someone actually tried to kidnap me when I was little, another called Social Services on my dads even though you couldn't ask for better dads than mine. No offense."
Blaine chuckled. "None taken."

To make a long story short, everyone found out Sue Sylvester leaked their setlist, so they had to come up with a new one. Finn finally came around and saved the show with new music. He walked over to Blaine.
"Okay if I take my spot back?"
Blaine smiled. "Yeah. Sure."

The New Directions won Sectionals. They talked excitedly on the way back. Blaine drove home to find Castiel laying on the couch.
"Cas?" Blaine was a little concerned.
"He told us to back off." Castiel vented.
"Who did?"
"Your grandfather." Castiel sighed. "He's not stepping in. He feels like He's helped us enough."
Blaine was shocked. He didn't think that God would be so… deadbeat. "Wow. Um…I'm sorry."
Castiel sighed. "It's not your fault." He explained everything that's happened in the last six hours. Sam and Dean were murdered and sent to heaven only to run into Zachariah again. Joshua met with them, and told them that God wanted them to back off. "I don't even know what to do any more. My father doesn't want to be found…I'm still hunted and cut off from heaven…"
"Hey, you still have me." Blaine assured him. "We can be outcasts together."
Castiel chuckled. "Thanks."

A few days later, Blaine made plans to hang out with Kurt. He cleaned up the house in preparation. Castiel headed on a hunt with Sam and Dean, but made sure Blaine was completely protected. However, Blaine heard a thud and stiffened. He crept downstairs and looked around. He saw a tall figure standing at the doorway of the kitchen…then he was knocked out from behind.
