Eat Your Vegetables World: Part 2

Castiel looked around as soon as his foot hit soil, it was a habit made a long time ago and really he found it to be a fantastic practice. More than once that action saved his life and this time was no different, the sound of screeching tires echoed in his ears as he leapt off the ground and jumped over a familiar car speeding toward him. It was close but he wasn't grazed, Cas landed as gracefully as ever while the car slid to a stop. He adjusted his coat and straightened up, casually intending to move along his way when the door opened and that face popped up, Dean's eyes wide and his mouth open in silent shock. Cas smiled and just took it in, thinking about his Dean, his partner, the man he'd grown so close to in the short while they'd known one another. He recognized that look, the expression of a man staring at the one he loved more than anything. On top of that though were the complexities of nearly striking that person with a car.

"Cas?! What are you doing here? I almost hit you, are you okay?" He babbled as he hurried to the priest's side and started looking him over, hands on him and checking for injuries. "Jesus, Cas, why were you in the middle of the road?"

"No reason," Castiel shrugged easily, finding that his stubborn and stern demeanor had drifted from him. It didn't hurt to see Dean's face anymore, any Dean, it didn't bother him how much time it was taking them to challenge the Void, the fate of the world didn't even make him twitchy anymore. His family was with him, they were all together and he was accepted. He wasn't alone. So why get uppity with this guy? Why freak out and go 'the world is ending so tell me where the monster is!'? He could just as easily relax and shrug his shoulders; he really wasn't doing anything in the middle of the road.

"How did you even get there? I thought you were spending the day looking for Vincent with Sam?"

Though Cas didn't know who Vincent was he guessed it was important, but even then he couldn't bring himself to fake being the Cas this Dean knew. He figured he'd go the simpler route. "The answer to your questions isn't an easy one so I'll just say that shit happens." Cas started walking toward the signature car that most every Dean owned. "Where are you off to again?"

"Uhm… well work, I can't take the day off." Dean watched Cas with worried eyes, he could have sworn he saw the other appear out of thin air. "Where's Sam?"

Cas sighed and shrugged, "Not sure, I'm not the Castiel you know so Sam's probably with your partner." He knew already that Dean and the other Cas were together, it was in how Dean looked at him, touched him and sounded when they spoke together. Of course those things would be somewhat confused now that the priest had admitted the truth. "I know, you think I'm being extremely strange right now, but I'm not the only one. There's another you, another Sam, and do you know a guy named Jet?"

Dean made a face as if he were asked if he breathed air, "Of course, Cas you know I grew up with him."

Still wasn't wrapping his head around the idea that this Castiel wasn't his Castiel. "I don't know that because I've just met you, Dean. There's another Jet with us too, so to reiterate; I'm not your Cas." He offered a reassuring smile, "Call him, you'll see."

The screwed up expression on Dean's face was almost hilarious as he slowly pulled out his phone and hit a single button to speed dial his lover. The phone rang and Cas watched Dean's face closely as there was a click and a voice on the other side. Dean stared at the priest across from him in disbelief, "Uh hey babe, where are you?"

"Where you dropped me off, where are you?" The Cas on the other side sounded a little surprised, the priest would have bet money that he was standing in front of his partner.

"I'm in the middle of the road because I almost hit you with a car, that's where I am." Dean was flustered; his face twisted and eyes watching the stranger in front of him now like he were an alien. Castiel figured it was the fault of too many movie marathons. "Or… someone who looks and sounds just like you."

"Okay that's weird, I'm kind of looking at you and another Sam right now, like there are two Sam's standing here and I'm sort of freaking out. What is happening? Is there a wormhole? Is that where Vincent went? This is so weird and terrifying." Cas babbled on the other line, his voice almost cracking a few times as he stumbled over his words. Stress was definitely getting to him. "Can you come back, please? I don't know what to do here."

"Yeah, I'll just let work know." Dean wasn't sure what he was going to let work know, probably just lie and say he was sick, it was easiest. "Stay where you are, we'll come get you."

"Okay, thanks babe."

They hung up and Dean looked at the strange Castiel warily, "We're going to go meet your friends then… Where are you from?"

"Would you like me to answer that now or later when everyone present can hear it?" Cas continued on to the Impala again, his stroll fairly relaxed. Nothing was happening in this world, hell he didn't even know if anything was actually going to happen, as far as they knew the fire for this world could be as docile as the one they'd entered to relax. Of course he wouldn't leave until he was sure, but that didn't mean he had to freak out over it.

"Make it later," Dean conceded to the logic and followed Cas to his car, he still kept an eye on the other but Cas didn't seem to be doing much more than looking out the window. "How'd you dodge the car?" He asked after a few minutes of silence.

"I jumped, aren't you going to call your work?" Cas looked at him with an eyebrow raised, a smile on his lips.

Dean furrowed his brow and pulled his phone out, a little grumpy about the whole ordeal. Ask a question and get sassed back, it wasn't that strange of his Castiel to do it but this one did it differently, a little more like Cas was older than he was. That thought was weird enough on its own, he didn't feel like adding to it and so he dialed his work number.

Cas hung the phone up on his end and looked at the smiling faces of a different set of Winchesters, one looked just like Sam and the other looked just like Dean. It was disturbing and a little unsettling to have two Sam's in the same line of sight while neither of them was on any kind of screen, or in a picture frame. "And I thought just one of you was bad enough," He joked with a somewhat anxious laugh, clearing his throat to get his personality back on the right track.

"Very funny," His Sam hissed at him, "Is Dean coming?"

"Yeah he's on his way, did you send Jet a message?"

"He's already at work, he won't get it until his break." Sam shook his head.

Cas nodded and glanced suspiciously at their strange Winchester friends standing across from them, "So are you guys aliens or something? Why do you look like Sam and Dean?"

"We are Sam and Dean," The other Sam pointed out, "Just not from around here."

"Time travel?" Cas' brow only got more dramatic as he asked.

"Too many movies?" Dean grinned and raised an eyebrow at Cas who's expression softened and an oh so familiar smile graced his lips.

"Baby you have no idea." Cas looked him over and winked playfully which earned him an elbow jab to the ribs. "OW!"

"Stop flirting with other people!" Sam snapped in a way only a close friend or brother would.

"What? It's Dean!"

"Not the same and you know it."

"Alright, alright," Cas rolled his eyes and turned back to Dean and the other Sam apologetically, "I'm sorry, it's just habit with pretty faces."

"Probably better that way," Dean shrugged with a lighthearted laugh, "I've got my own baby waiting for me."

"Yeah probably, ever consider an orgy?" Castiel's face lit up in a devious way that made Dean's stomach flip, it wasn't a bad flip either, more surprised and enticing than anything else.

"Cas!" The other Sam gawked, "Stop!"

"What?! Don't tell me you'd turn down two Jet's if you had the opportunity."

Both Sam's turned a little red, the colour staining pale cheeks far too easily. The traveller tried to hide it but Dean noticed. "So Sam hooked up with Jet in this world, huh? What do you think about that, Sammy? What would it be like to be with Jet?"

"Dean..."

Castiel snorted back a laugh, "Even their warning tones are the same."

Dean snickered as he nodded, "Right? And to answer your question, Cas and I haven't done it yet, so... I think that's a no."

"Are you serious?" Cas gawked in the same way his Sam had, eyes wide in complete shock and he wasn't even kidding. "That's how I met my Dean, first night we fucked and I swear got each other's names after. How do you do that? God, look at the patience on you - ow! Sam!" Another bump to his ribs, it was starting to hurt a little.

"Not everyone has sex that soon Cas, we don't all have the libido of Zeus."

"If you're calling me a sex god I'll take that as a compliment." Castiel remarked with a puffed up chest, his head tilted back with the smuggest expression Dean and his brother had seen. The other Sam however seemed completely used to it. "But seriously, Dean, you have to have sex with him. What's stopping you?"

"No real opportunity and we hadn't been close enough for it until recently." Dean had liked Castiel pretty early on but it took Cas time to get back to a possible relationship read state. Dean had no qualms about waiting, Castiel was worth every passing moment. Of course that wasn't to say he wasn't itching to see and feel that lithe, strong body against his. It'd been too long since he'd gotten off.

"Tell you what, I'll give you guys a place to sleep and all the opportunity you need." Cas winked at him again, though this time it was for the other Castiel's sake. Still effective though.

"If he's cool with it I will take you up on that." Dean grinned and nodded toward his younger brother, "Sammy will too."

"Dean! We only kissed and that was for the rift," Sam wasn't sure why he was so defensive, kissing Jet had been phenomenal. He wanted to do it again, to feel the heat of Jet's mouth on his and that strong tongue pushing back against him. In fact he intended to do it once he saw that shaggy head.

"Two rooms it is then." Cas grinned like a Cheshire cat, "Oooh I can't wait, this is going to be so good. The first time is like really good crack, best experience of your life."

"Cas I don't want to know how you know what crack is like." The other Sam sighed, pinching the bridge of his nose.

Dean smiled, his cheeks feeling a little rosy all on their own. He and Sam were both apparently fairly bent out of shape about all of that; it'd been far too long since either of them got off and the tension was starting to show. As much as Dean didn't want to push it he was really hoping Cas said yes to staying the night.
