The next four hours were then spent fruitlessly searching for some sign of SOMETHING. All they had was a bloody plastic blade, and unhelpful corpse, and screwed security cameras that all happened to go out just as the guy was killed. And no one actually saw the guy get killed. Very convenient, very convenient indeed. In the end Sam and Dean just went and sat down with Chuck at his table, Sam with his laptop out furrowing his eyebrows at it while trying to get something out of it.
"Ohmygosh! You're totally Sam and Cas! Where's your Dean? Cas needs his Dean!" Dean looked up at the random fangirl who'd just appeared at the table, dropping her book on it without even glancing at Chuck. "Like, you should totally pick up a Dean so that you can have A) Team Free Will, and B) Destiel!"Dean narrowed his eyes when he heard the word, but the girl didn't seem to notice, and just kept talking, "I mean, like, it's totally there. I think that, in a few books maybe, we'll actually learn of the true sexuality of our favorite angel...The popular theory is that Cas won't come out to Dean at first, but instead tell Sam-" Sam choked on the air that he'd been breathing in, "What? Where did you hear this?" His eyes flickered quickly to Chuck, who shook his head imperceptibly. Thankfully no one seemed to notice this. The fan looked at Sam with raised eyebrows, "What you don't know? Well, I mean, it's generally the popular theory, I'm not really sure where it came from, but I think AROUND 60 percent of the fandom thinks that Destiel will be becoming canon in at least five or so books. Three if Dean decides to stop being so stupid and man up to the fact that he's, like, totally bi." The girl then thanked Chuck, got back her book and walked away, leaving Sam, Chuck, and Becky looking nervously at Dean. Dean just looked confused. "Can't she even finish her sentence? Seriously, you don't just say something like that to a guy; say 'bye', and leave!" It took a couple moments, but it dawned on Becky and Sam at the same time, "Ohhh..." The tiniest of smiles threatened to start coming out on Sam's face, but he kept it down in fear of Dean getting angry at him. Becky quickly jumped in to explain to Dean, "No, no, no. She didn't say 'bye' like 'goodbye' she said 'bi', B-I, as in bisexual!" Becky seemed to bouncing in her seat. Dean frowned at her, still confused, "What, so bisexual is... actually a thing? It's not just... an excuse for people who... you know, haven't come out yet?" Dean seemed very uncomfortable with this topic, so once Becky nodded enthusiastically, Dean nodded much more slowly, and turned back to Sam, "So, anything new on the case?" Sam cleared his throat awkwardly, "No... I couldn't-" Sam was cut off by Dean's phone ringing again. He used the same technique that he used at the Arby's and waited for Sam to continue. Sam didn't even have time to sigh, and shake his head before his own phone rang. Glancing down at caller ID, Cas. Sam glanced up at Dean who was shaking his head and babbling on, trying to tell Sam not to answer his phone.
"Hello? Cas?" Dean just slumped down in his seat in defeat.
"Sam, why did Dean steal my coat?"
"He's... uh, using it for our case. See, we're at a convention, so he's decided to dress up as you to blend in with the crowd. " Sam could almost hear the confused silence from the other end of the phone, so he continued, "You know Chuck? Well he continued publishing, so now people who read the books now know about you, so he stole your trenchcoat to blend in with the other few Supernatural cosplayers- that's what it's called when you dress up as character, cosplay." At this point Dean grabbed the phone out of Sam's hand, shutting it closed quickly, "You've said too much Sam, he'll find us for sure now!" Sam just laughed, "You make it sound as if the police are after us!" Dean just glared at him.
Another fan approached the table (he didn't have a book) . Chuck tensed slightly, afraid of another Destiel question. The fan looked angry. "Okay, dude. What's your problem? Sure you raise Dean from hell, that was nice, but... You could've done better. I mean seriously, Angels? Ever since Lazarus Rising, I've wanted to tell you that I don't like the whole angel concept. I get the whole symbolism of the demons. I get that, as they get older, they run into more 'demons', because at the beginning of the series they hardly did anything involving demons, it was mostly ghosts, and now that they've gone through more, they have more 'demons' haunting them. I get that the old man, Bobby, was the demon expert, because the more time that you're here the more 'demons' you collect. I get that, when Dean sells his soul to the crossroads demon in return for Sam to come back to life, showing that he would do anything for his little brother, it represents that you should act selflessly for your family especially, and it probably came from somehow feeling that you didn't do a sibling of yours (probably also younger) justice when he was on this earth. You're trying to live the life that you wanted to live through the metaphors in the book. I get that- in the republished versions of the books- when Sam is drinking the demon's blood he wants to feel strong because he's always felt that he's not as important as his brother because Dean is always making him feel like he can't do everything that he can, especially after Dean sells his soul. I know that after Dean sells his soul, Dean probably feels as though he's a good big brother for watching out for his brother, with self-sacrifice and all. I get that. But here's what I don't get. I don't get why, when you represent the 'angels' in the books, you represent them as people who aren't even on the same side as Sam and Dean. My best guess is that you put the angels that way to represent hopelessness, or that, sometimes even the supposedly 'good' thing to do isn't the best thing you can do. Going along with that theory, I think that something happened in your past that you wish that you could go back and change, I think that in your scenario, you made the 'right' choice but you ended up for the worse because of it. I'm not as sure on this theory. So I guess what I wanted to say, is why the angels are such bad characters." Sam, Dean , Chuck, and Becky all stared, open mouthed at the fan. Dean spoke up first. "First off, I'd like to say that you, are a-" Sam gave him a warning look. The fan raised his eyebrows, but Dean plowed on. "Ever stop to think that a demon is just a demon, and an angel is just an angel, and not some twisted frickin' metaphor? Ever think that Sam and Dean don't give a damn shit about what you think about their life? Ever think that Chuck here isn't 'trying to live the life that he never got to live through the metaphors in the book', because I think that Chuck knows that our life is crap." Dean quickly recovered from his slipup, "Chuck doesn't want to live Sam and Dean's life." Chuck muttered to Sam so that the fan couldn't hear him, "I've seen enough of your life to know that." Sam nodded absently, and spoke up for himself, "Okay, Sam didn't drink the blood because he wanted to be strong. Sam refused for a very long time. He drank the blood because he felt like he had to. Ruby tricked him, and she paid for that. Ruby got him addicted to it, so when he stopped, he just nearly went insane. So don't say that Sam wanted it. Because he didn't, and he's learned that now."
"You talk as though you know what goes through their heads. Seriously, you've put way too much time into thinking about a dumb book series," The fan left as Becky bristled, "He as no right to say that to you! He put just as much thought- more, if you put in the factor of-"
"Shit!" Dean ducked behind Sam. Sam turned to Dean, "Dude, what the hell?" Dean just pointed over to somewhere opposite to his hiding spot. Sam followed his finger, and finally saw what Dean was pointing to. It was a confused (slightly disgruntled) man with dark messy hair, wearing a suit, and a dark blue (backwards) tie. Cas.
A/N: Sorry that it took so long to upload, I've just had a bunch of crap that I had to deal with, and haven't had too much time to think of chapter ideas. SORRY again. So, yeah, Cas. I reverted Cas back to his messy hair, because he's been using too much gel lately. Please like and comment!
