It took Cas less then ten minutes to locate the other angel which led him to believe that either the angel had lost the ability to hide himself adequately along with certain other powers, or that he just wanted to be found.
"I knew you would find me." Castiel told him while sitting on a familiar park bench.
"This is the park from your dream isn't it?" Wondering why of all the places his future self could have chosen to go, he had chosen here.
"Yes." He said with a huge sigh escaping his lips. "I just felt drawn here though I cannot tell you why."
This park must be of some kind of significance to the angel, hell even to him. This is where he had run to after invading the other angel's dreams, where Raphael had found him when he had called help understanding what he had seen. Instead of mentioning it though he just nodded to the angel in understanding and took a seat on the bench next to him.
After a silence that dragged on for more minutes then was comfortable to Castiel the other him, the one from the future the one that had the answers that Cas sought finally drew in a shaky breath and spoke again.
"I know that I disgust you." Future Castiel told him as he turned to face him for the first time since he had arrived in the park.
"You do not understand how complicated things have become for me…I have been cut of from heaven, hunted by my brothers and sisters because they want to turn me into the next Lucifer as punishment for my part in stopping him. But most of all I am scared, part of me wants to just stop fighting and do what they wish of me. The only reason's that have kept me fighting are Sam, Dean and our son."
He was right, he didn't understand but he sure as hell wanted to.
"You do not disgust me although it may have seemed that way to you. I'm just scared and I don't understand, but I really do want to. And I will do whatever I can to help you, I promise you that." Cas told the future angel with a smile that he hoped would reassure him.
"If I do not disgust you then why did you put all of our futures in jeopardy? He asked turning to look the other angel in the eyes.
It was only then that present Castiel noticed that the angel was crying. And he felt guilt hit him like a ton of bricks, it was like someone had sucker punched him in the gut knocking the wind out of him.
Why had he been such an ass to the man sat before him? And why had it given him so much pleasure earlier tonight when the angel had been so distressed? He must be sick, some kind of sadist. After all in hurting him he was only hurting himself.
"I didn't put us in danger I did have help. I would never lie to Dean, you should know that." The other angel just nodded knowing that no matter what happened the angel would never lie to Dean again.
"Who would want to help us?" The angel asked.
This was where things would become complicated.
"Raphael, he came to me here before when I ran out on you. I didn't believe him at first, I thought it was a trap for what I did to him with the oil. But he really did want to help, and he took care of all the angels while I got Sam out of there, I hope he is ok."
Castiel was looking at the future angel confused. He really didn't look all that surprised by what he had told him.
"Well at least he picked sides before it was too late this time." The angel said bitterly. "Things are different, they're not meant to be like this. Sam was meant to be back with Dean Months ago, you were meant to know of their plans for you before now. You should have been up there right now gathering information while you can; it's too late for that now though because they know we are on to them. Maybe I messed things up when I travelled back here? But Raphael told me this was the only way to keep baby Samuel and I safe, and to prevent Dean's death."
"I think you coming back here now was meant to change things, I think we must trust our brother for now, as I do not know who else we can trust, but I trust him."
The future angel could only hope what the other angel said was the truth, he didn't think he would be able to live through losing Dean again.
"I think that perhaps you are right, after all there are four of us to fight this time."
"I think you will find that it's five brother"
Raphael said from behind them startling both the angels.
"Brother I am glad to see that you are well." Cas told the other angel as he got to feet and stood between him and the future angel protectively.
"Castiel, I told you I am not here to harm you, either one of you, all I want to do is help. And right now we need to get out of this park they are looking for us now. And we need to get Sam, Dean and the baby out of that motel and to somewhere safe."
Cas hoped the angel knew where that somewhere safe was, because he didn't exactly know what they where up against. But he as sure as hell was going to find out sooner or later.
"And just where would that be?" The future angel asked.
"I do not know for certain, I just feel that we need to move out of there now."
And that drew Castiel's attention back to the feeling he had been having for a while. He felt as if Dean was calling for him, that the younger man was in danger. But if that was true, why didn't the other angel sense it?
"I think we need to go back now." Castiel told his brother and the future angel, starting to feel panic overwhelming him. And without waiting to see if the others were following him he flew back to the motel.
When the angel arrived at the motel he couldn't believe it was the same room he had left a little over thirty minutes ago. The door looked as if it had been blown into a million pieces, and it was scattered around the small room in splinters. And the rest of the room didn't fair much better, it looked like a tornado had rampaged through it, there was nothing left untouched. But what had him most concerned was that there was no sign of the hunters or the baby, had whom ever had been here taken them? He didn't know, but he was sure as hell going to find out.
Cas reached out with his senses searching hard for either brother, but he could find no trace and he was starting to worry. It couldn't have though, because he would have felt it, wouldn't he? He had felt something before, he was sure he had. And he knew that it was Dean's fear.
"What the hell happened here, where's my son?" Future Cas shouted at the angel.
"I don't know, I have tried to sense them but I am getting nothing." He told the other angel, trying not to scare him anymore then he had to.
"Don't worry brother, Dean will protect the boy after all he is his son also."
What the hell, did he hear that right, how could Dean be the baby's father? Dean was his charge, he was sent from heaven to protect the man. They were friends of this he was sure, but lovers… Dean could never think of him that way, he liked women, a lot of women if everything he knew about him was correct. And did he even like Dean that way? He knew he cared a lot about the human and had done more for him, then he had ever done for anyone else. He had abandoned heaven for the man, killed his family for him. But was that because he loved him? The only simple answer to that question was Yes
Well that is it for now. I found this very hard to write although I do not know why, and I know it's short . I hope you all enjoy and review, review even if you don't lol. Thanks for your time reading any way.
