And thank you all So SO SOOOO much for all of the reviews…they seriously inspired me to write this chapter A LOT faster. Thank you all much.
Warning: This chapter contains Angry Castiel and some violence. Also includes some banter from two Archangels.
Castiel's Revenge:
. . .
Castiel flew up to Heaven and went on his search for Balthazar. He ignored the other angel's death stares as they smelled the human on him. He was somewhat frowned upon for being too close with Michael's vessel but he didn't care. He was on a mission.
Gabriel was sitting in one of the throne rooms, bickering with Michael when he noticed the angel with blue eyes and a trench coat walk in. There was a power radiating off of him like a nuclear bomb about to go off.
Michael darted his eyes at Castiel and he contemplated the idea of blowing him up right there and then. Last he saw of that angel was when he holy fire molotov'd him. He stood up, forgetting his argument with Gabriel "Castiel…are you so stupid as to waltz on in here?"
"Have you seen Balthazar?" Castiel questioned Gabriel, completely ignoring Michael.
Gabriel lifted his eyebrows "What has he done now?" he asked.
"Please just answer my question," Castiel said, his voice taut.
Gabriel could sense the pure rage and jealousy pooling out of the angel in front of him and he instantly knew Balthazar did something with Dean. He had to see where this was going.
"Castiel, are you ignoring me?" Michael questioned the angel, his voice rising in anger.
"I am sorry I threw a holy Molotov at you, Michael but I do not have time for this," Castiel said, sincerity somewhere in his voice.
Michael took a step back to examine the angel before him "You're really mad," he pointed out.
"Gabriel…have you seen him or not?" Castiel questioned hopefully.
Gabriel grinned, mentally marking where Balthazar was. He was indeed in Heaven…a place that he found where he thought nobody could find him. But Gabriel was very sneaky and knew exactly where said Heaven was.
"He is in the Heaven to the left of the Garden…the one with the monster tru-" he stopped when Castiel vanished.
Gabriel arched an eyebrow at Michael "Want to go see a fight?"
Michael pursed his lips in thought before nodding and they both flew off to watch the scene unfold.
Castiel landed in the heaven and was surprised to see what it looked like. It appeared to be a large stadium filled with thousands of bleachers surrounding a large, dirt patch in the middle that lined with lumps of dirt and old wrecked cars.
In the corner of the field was a full line of very large trucks with tires that seemed ten sizes too big. Most of the trucks were pick-up trucks that had been modified to be much larger with intricate demonic looking designs on them. Some of the trucks appeared to have teeth while other had spikes jutting out of the sides of the tires and on the hood, causing the truck to appear to have horns.
The stadium was completely void of anyone, though. Castiel pressed his mind through to track down the grace he suddenly sensed in the area. He whipped around and was irritated to see Michael and Gabriel sitting on some of the empty bleachers now.
"He's over there," Michael said, pointing in the direction where he saw Balthazar hiding behind one of the trucks.
Castiel gave Michael a thankful nod and then stalked his way towards the angel who was about to have his wings shredded into a million fluffy little pieces.
Gabriel let out a long breath as he snapped his fingers. A large bucket of extra sweet caramel corn popped into his lap as well as a bowl of candies…a mixture of skittles, dove chocolate candies and gummy bears.
Michael glanced over at his sweet toothed brother and stuck his hand into the bucket of popcorn.
"Hey get your own," Gabriel said, slapping Michael's hand and hovering over the bucket.
Michael smacked the back of Gabriel's head, earning a grunt. They both just grinned, though as Gabriel allowed his brother access to the popcorn. He would not touch his candy, though.
"So what exactly did Balthazar do?" Michael questioned. He had slowly been getting over the fact that little angel Castiel was together with his vessel. Of course, he wasn't happy about it but he could deal. For now, he had the vessel of the youngest Winchester, Adam.
Adam, of course was no longer 'home' so to speak. Michael had sent him up to the Heaven where his mother resided so at least the human had that. Somewhere, deep inside Michael felt bad for the fact that the human had to sit in the box with him and Lucifer for the time that had passed. He had repaired that soul to the best of his abilities before sending it away.
He grew accustomed to this body now and decided to keep it…unless of course his true vessel said yes…then he would throw this one away like a piece of trash. He doubted he would get a yes, though.
"Wow…I don't think I've ever seen you think so hard before, Mikey," Gabriel suddenly said, snapping his brother out of his thoughts.
Michael shot him a look and grabbed a handful of the candy, causing Gabriel to curse at him.
Castiel flew into the middle of the field, scanning for Balthazar now that he had moved "Balthazar, come on out. Stop hiding from me," Castiel said, feeling very sure of himself. He was almost positive he would win a battle with Balthazar. He had killed the angel before but that was more of catching him off guard. Balthazar would be prepared this time.
"Cassie, you want my blade?" Gabriel shouted.
Michael elbowed him in the ribs "No," he said through clenched teeth "Father has had enough of the angels killing each other, you know that."
Gabriel rolled his eyes "Never mind," he shouted.
Castiel sighed and turned away from the archangels eating popcorn and watching. He didn't quite like the idea of an audience but he also didn't care about that too much at the moment. He did not want to kill Balthazar…he just wanted to teach him a lesson about getting close to his Dean.
Balthazar took a long breath before stepping out from behind that largest monster truck. He lifted his eyebrows at the power radiating from the angel's electric blue eyes. He shot a dark look at the archangels who had given away his secret spot. Now he would have to find a new one.
"Cassie," Balthazar said, returning his gaze to the fiery blue one.
"What were you thinking, Balthazar? How could you do that?" Castiel asked, his voice laced with venom.
Balthazar arched an eyebrow, snapping a glass of scotch into his hand. He sipped it "It takes two to tango, Cassie," he quipped.
Castiel felt a burst of rage shoot through him as he directed his grace to the truck beside Balthazar and lunged it at full force into the angel, causing him to slam into the concrete wall just below the archangels. The truck pinned him there and Balthazar cried out in pain from that unexpected move.
Gabriel winced at that move and peered down to see Balthazar shoving the truck away, spitting out blood in the process. Michael nodded in approval of the younger angels' starting their fight.
Castiel stalked over to Balthazar, his wings arched out, the ends of the feathers as sharp as razorblades and the colors mixing with lightning yellow, fiery orange and deep crimson red. Some ebony began to stream through the feathers like veins and Balthazar froze. Black like that only came from an angel who was filled with much power.
"You took advantage of Dean," Castiel growled "I could smell your grace all over that water…you used it to get him to do what you wanted."
Balthazar glanced down at his hands before throwing a hand out, shooting shards of glass that he lifted from the ground.
Castiel, caught off guard, barely managed to move out of the way. He growled out in pain when he felt glass slice through one of his feathers.
Gabriel glanced at Michael, who was peeling open a Dove chocolate. He opened the little film to read the quote out loud. He knit his eyebrows "Listen to your heart and dance," he quoted "That's stupid."
Michael crumpled the wrapper and threw it before glancing back at the fight "So Balthazar made moves on Dean and Castiel is mad?"
"That's what it seems," Gabriel said "Who do you think will win?"
Michael examined the fight, watching as Castiel sent another wave of energy at Balthazar, causing the angel to slam into one of the spikes on the truck.
Gabriel winced "I think Cassie might have this one. You know how anger will juice up angel mojo."
Michael paused "Why is everyone so hopped up on my vessel now?" he asked curiously.
"Maybe because when Father brought him back, he gave him the ability to see and touch angel wings," Gabriel said as if it was the most normal thing.
Michael froze and turned wild blue eyes to him "Are you serious? Why did I not know about this?"
Gabriel furrowed his eyebrows "You didn't? Hell, Dean's fondled my wings quite a few times…it's very nice," he smirked and ducked when a beam of energy in the shape of a dagger shot at him.
Castiel glowered at the archangels who were talking about Dean. The last thing he wanted was for Michael to know about Dean's ability and now Gabriel just blew it.
He shot a force at Gabriel, who dodged it easily before sticking his tongue out like a child.
Castiel focused back on Balthazar, who was rounding up behind him. He quickly spun, jutting the razorsharp ends of feathers to slide across the angel before he could make a move.
Balthazar cried out in pain as at least twenty gashes formed across his chest all the way to his legs. He fell for a moment as his grace tried to heal such an injury and Castiel took that moment to kick his foot into Balthazar's face.
Balthazar growled out in pain, his full angelic side coming into defense. He could feel the entire heaven shake with his pain and he caught Castiel's fist as it directed to his face. He tightened his hand over the fist, breaking several bones before shoving the angel away with a blast of glowing white daggers.
Castiel cried out in pain this time, the entire heaven shaking even more, causing the trucks to rattle and hiss with life. Balthazar got to his feet and pounced at Castiel as he hunched over, holding his wounds.
Michael winced and looked away as Castiel rebounded on Balthazar, sending a wave of flames to sizzle through his feathers. He was definitely debating on whether or not to go and visit Dean Winchester. He had never known of a mortal that could touch an angel's wings and from the way the angels around him were acting, it must be an incredible feeling. He could easily find Dean and make some kind of deal with him to do it…but that would risk Castiel getting angry as he was right now. That was a somewhat scary thought. He was an archangel but sometimes even archangels get their feathers burnt by lower ranking angels.
He watched in interest as Balthazar pinned Castiel to the ground, the edges of his wings penetrating through the angel's body, causing him to be immobile. For a moment, he didn't want Balthazar to win this fight. That angel was way too cocky; Michael grinned slightly as he sent an incredible wave of his own grace into the pinned angel.
Castiel gasped when he felt a bright and powerful presence fill his own grace and without even a single thought, he shoved Balthazar off of him and across the entire dirt field. Balthazar slammed directly into one of the trucks, the horns penetrating into his back and coming out the front. Castiel stole and thankful glance at Michael, knowing it was his grace he felt.
"Michael, did you just cheat? I thought you wanted Balthy to win?" Gabriel said, amused at seeing small little Castiel with the wrath of an archangel.
"Changed my mind," Michael said, watching this unfold.
Castiel slowly walked over to Balthazar, who was trying to pull himself off of the horns but it was no use. He held out his hands "Cas, okay I get it…I won't touch Dean ever again," he said in a quick voice.
"I'm not done with you yet," Castiel growled somewhat darkly. The image of Balthazar and Dean wrapped up in an embrace of pure grace was filling his head and only causing him more rage. He could literally feel the darkness emanating from his wings. He wasn't going to kill him but he was going to cause him a lot of agony.
He grabbed Balthazar's shoulders and pulled him off of the horns before slamming him onto the ground. He could tell the angel's grace was beginning to heal him but he was very weakened, thanks to that extra burst of energy from Michael (he would ponder that later.) He began to slug harsh punches across Balthazar.
"Should we stop this?" Gabriel questioned, noticing it was about to get out of control.
"I wanna' see what he does. He doesn't have a blade so he can't kill him," Michael said, his elbow propped on his knee and his chin on his palm. His eyes scrutinized the situation.
Castiel took a deep breath and realized he was seeing red. He ignored that fact and went on to his plan. He slammed his wings onto Balthazar's to hold him down. He glanced away from the pleading blue eyes before digging his hand into the angel's gut.
Balthazar roared in pain, the entire heaven they were in shaking with his true form's agony, causing several of the vehicles around to bounce and fall over. Castiel latched his fingers into Balthazar's grace and closed them tightly.
Michael stood as the bleachers began to crumble with an angel's powerful cry. He glanced at Gabriel "Alright…now we intervene," he said.
Within a split second, Gabriel grabbed Castiel's shoulders. He yanked that livid angel from the one who lay upon the dirt, covered in blood and mud. Balthazar's grace was beaming through wounds.
Castiel didn't fight as Gabriel held him back. Instead, he pulled out of the embrace and took a few steps back. Michael was hovered over Balthazar and in a white light, they disappeared.
Castiel took a deep breath and blinked a few times; all of his rage was diminishing with a job well done.
"Cassie…that's some dark stuff you just did there," Gabriel pointed out, his own grace coiling inside of him at the thought of what he just witnessed.
"I'm sorry…I was angry," Castiel said, beginning to relax.
Gabriel arched his eyebrows "Not gonna' lie, I never expected that type of brutality from sweet little Cas."
Castiel nodded "I do not believe he will touch Dean again."
"So did Dean actually get frisky with Balthazar?" Gabriel questioned, feeling a new sense of anger towards the hunter for hurting Castiel.
Castiel nodded "He was drunk," he said.
"That is no excuse Cassie," Gabriel said, making a mental note to get back at Dean for that. He knew Castiel would be all lovey dovey with the human as soon as he saw him again. He would need to teach Dean a lesson…he was the Trickster after all.
"I'm going to rest," Castiel said, feeling weakened from the fight.
"You do realize what you just did to little ol' Earth, right?" Gabriel asked.
Castiel shook his head but he could just imagine what Balthazar's last shout did.
"A 6.4 earthquake in Edmonton, Canada," Gabriel chirped as if he were proud of his younger sibling. He could sense it the moment Balthazar cried out.
Castiel groaned "That is not good," he said. He sighed and nodded to Gabriel before flying off to the little Heaven he loved.
Gabriel stood there for a moment, deciding what to do for Dean's punishment. It took him a moment as he scanned for ideas before he set on one. If Dean was going to act like a dog, he was going to be treated like one. He grinned wildly as he flew off to arrange the plan.
Hehe could you just imagine what the next chapter will be like? ^_^. Can I say…cute little doggy?
Anyone have a suggestion on what breed of dog Dean would be? I have an idea of one that I think would be hilarious but I would like input from readers. I was thinking Basset Hound (with extra long ears) or Husky (extra fluffiness).
