Jensen pulled on a new shirt. "Jared... Did you mean it?" Jared was stuffing Jensen's bloodied and ripped clothing in a trashbag. "Did I mean what?" Jensen looked shyly down at his hands, buttoning up the shirt. "That I'm your buddy." Jared stopped and looked up at Jensen. A radiant smile graced his handsome features. "Yes, I did. These few days with you, they really showed me that you weren't the stuck up guy I thought." Jensen smiled back at him. "Yeah... Me too. I'm not even sure why we couldn't get along." Jared crossed the room and hugged Jensen tight. "When I saw you, all bruised and cut... I was scared man! I'm so glad it all turned out ok." Jensen hugged Jared back. "I know. I felt the same with you and the ghost. I... I have to say, man... I... I'm sorry for being such an ass." Jared sighed tremulously. "It's ok, Jen... It's ok." Jensen squeezed his eyes shut and grabbed hold of his friend even tighter. "I know, Jay... I know."
Cas dropped them off at a motel in another state. "Remember, your world doesn't know you were gone. Try and take up your lives as soon as you both can." Jensen smiled. "We will, but no denying we're bestest buds now. We'll just have to let our world in on that slowly." Jared nodded. "We're actors, we should be able to pull that off. C'mere Cas." He pulled the angel into a tight hug. "Thanks for everything, man." Flustered Cas patted Jared's back, a little late, but sincerely. "You are welcome, Jared." Jensen chuckled. "Jay, you cuddlebuddle. Cas isn't used to being hugged, especially not by Sam." He shook Cas' hand, pulled him in a quick hug and patted his back. "Thanks Cas. I'll let Misha know he's doing a bang up job portraying you." He winked and Jared and him turned towards the motelroom window, ready for the jump home.
"Balthazar, did you amend the damage Virgil did in the other Universe?" Cas asked sternly. Sipping his drink, Balthazar looked at Cas with a bored expression on his cute face. "I did, Cas, don't worry. It's like he never was there. I even made the switch back to their lives a bit easier for the counterparts." Cas smiled. "You did not have to, but I am gratefull. The counterparts were almost as nice as the Winchesters. Thank you." Balthazar saluted him with his drink. "No problem, brother dearest. I will check up on them one more time, to see if it works the way I want to. Now, get to scheming. I want this bloody war over."
Jared frowned in his sleep. He was laying on the sofa in his trailer, but his subconsious kicked him. Something was off. He opened his eyes a bit, to see a familiar figure standing at his side. "Sebastian? What's wrong?" The blonde guy smiled. "Nothing... Nothing really. Just a few quick questions. Who's your best friend?" Jared rubbed his eyes. "Jensen, you know that. Has been since season 1. Why?" No answer. "And how is... Misha? doing?" Jared sat up a bit. "Misha? Fine. Dorky, whacky and full of spunk, as usual. He dropped me a line just before I went to lay down." He vaguely noticed a drink in the other guys hand. "Good, good. And where have you been, the last two days?" Jared yawned and scratched his neck in confusion. "Right here, Sebas. You were with us... Are you sure everything is allright?" A very British chuckle. "Yes, yes I am. Sleep tight, Jared." Jared lay back down and drifted off again. On the edge of hearing he thought he could hear the flap of gigantic wings. 'Huh... Just like they use as sound effect for angelwings.' Jared grogilly thought before going back to sleep.
