Author's Note:

Hey guys just thought I'd let you all know that I made a post on my zafiction tumblr account that showcases pics of the new mansions the team is moving into.

Gathering everyone in the same location took a little bit of work considering nobody knew the area. GPS was a life saver and guided Dean's team to the hotel that the others had checked into. He laughed to himself about how often they were moving from one hotel to another, if Jet didn't have the money he did none of that would've been possible. Though it could also be argued that if Jet hadn't inherited it at all then Dean would've been working full-time trying to pay for the next year's tuition.

Whatever, it didn't matter. He took the parking space the others had reserved, big enough to fit a trailer and his boat of a car. Dean turned it off and looked at the other two with a smile, "We're here."

"This is a hotel." Desirae pointed out flatly.

"Yeah, well I didn't say where 'here' meant, did I?" Dean argued playfully and climbed out of the car. "C'mon, let's go meet the others." He didn't want to say it but damn did it feel good to stretch his legs. Road trips always started off amazing and fun but by the end of it people usually felt trapped in their vehicles.

The hotel looked nice on the outside, Los Angeles had some amazing hotels to check out and Dean didn't doubt for a second that he was looking at one of them. Jet and Charlie waited for them in the lobby, both glancing up from their phones with welcoming smiles. Rae bolted across the room and jumped into Jet's lap before he could even put his cell away. "Whoa!" He laughed and hugged her back once he registered what the hell just happened. "Hey kiddo."

"Hi," she nuzzled his cheek and settled where she was.

"How was the drive?" Charlie went to meet Cas and Dean, hugging her bestie first and then his boyfriend.

"It was a little cramped sometimes but fun," Cas replied and chanced a look Dean's way, "Dee really likes loud music."

"Very loud music," Desirae chimed in and Dean threw up his arms in exasperation.

"You guys didn't say anything! How was I supposed to know?"

"It's alright," Cas reassured him and offered a light peck on the cheek. "You can't tell what our hearing is like unless we say something."

"Speaking of Dean being a fuck-up," Jet looked at him with an irritated smirk that Dean had seen coming a mile away. "You didn't even try calling me."

"Well-" Dean dragged out the word but ran out of places to go pretty fast. It didn't matter what he'd say next, Jet would get uppity at him regardless. He could at least do his best to defend himself, not that he thought he'd win. "You didn't try calling me either, how was I supposed to know when you guys were landing?"

"My phone was dead!"

"No one called anybody else, relax." Cas told them as he placed a hand on either of their shoulders. "We're all fine, it doesn't matter, does it?"

Dean was happy to take that as the answer to their situation if Jet was.

"Did you guys pick a place yet?" Rae cut in as soon as she saw an opening in their silence. She was looking at Jet who shrugged as he glanced over at Charlie.

Just that little movement had them all thinking it hadn't happened yet. Luckily Jet didn't leave them hanging on that thought too long. "We totally checked them out this morning, chill."

"You picked one?" Dean lit up and shared an excited look with Cas.

"Which one?" Cas turned back to Jet, eyes wide and breath held.

"The one in Malibu, actually!" Charlie was too excited to not answer that, "I hope you're okay with that, it's technically in Los Angeles county, and it's in the mountain range looking over the ocean."

"It's near Malibu Canyon." Jet added.

"That sounds perfect," Cas nearly squealed, just laughing and at a loss for words. "I loved both of the ones we looked at, it's totally fine."

"The new one isn't as huge as the old mansion, but we don't need that much room." Jet added as he lifted Desirae up and walked over to Dean's side. "A little mountainy terrain, nice view, I figured space wouldn't be too big of an issue."

"The old place was too big, we all got lost." Dean smirked and pat Jet's shoulder, "Good pick."

Jet smiled back and nodded toward the elevator, "We pick up the keys tomorrow, c'mon."

"How're the suites here? Just as nice as the last ones?" Dean asked as they all headed up. He noticed the clerk's face was a little more than shocked at seeing Cas and Desirae, more so after each showed a small display of realism in their odd appendages.

"They're all nice, man. I think these are more spacious though, so there's that." Jet said as he looked to Charlie, "My arm's full, think you could hit the button?"

"Oh, right yeah, of course."

The elevator was big enough that Cas didn't look the slightest bit uncomfortable, not to mention the big mirror on one side and the nice lighting. Dean didn't think he'd ever get used to fancy living. They were going to be the bane of some 'old money' family's existence, he was sure of it.

The elevator opened to a hall that had only a few doors to choose from, "All of these are ours," Jet explained as they looked around, "The others are in here." he walked over to the center one and let Desirae opened it for him.

Sam and Michael were lounging on a couch watching TV while Nikki chatted on the phone in the corner; the whole room was gorgeous as expected but Dean just wanted to find a home already. He walked over to the first bed he saw and dropped onto it like a ragdoll, listening to whatever the hell they had on.

Morning was upon them and the excitement hadn't quite registered in them yet. Dean thought he was pumped to see the new place but he had no idea how awesome it was going to be. They left the hotel, half jumped in a rented car and the other joined Dean on the trip up Piuma Road.

It was a bit of a twisty road, Dean realized that going to town would be a real pain for anyone not driving. Then again they weren't paying for that kind of convenience, it was more to keep Castiel and Desirae comfortable and more private if they wanted to be. Moving was always a possibility but Dean hadn't even seen the place yet, he imagined it was going to be incredible no matter what.

Just as promised it was in a more mountainy terrain and as the road wound around the next bend Dean spotted it. A white building peeking up over other ridges was the cause of his first wave of thrill, at least the first one he recognized anyway. He found himself smiling wide and unable to look away from it whenever he could see it.

"We're almost there," he glanced at Cas who was just as slack-jawed and wide eyed. "I can't really believe it either."

"It's awesome," Jet spoke up from the backseat, he shared a look with Sam who was smirking at their reactions.

"You'll like it, it's got a pretty big garage that you can see the car through." Sam explained as they pulled up to the gate.

Dean just stared at it for a few seconds before driving in, after living in a more old school mansion he was completely unprepared for the style of the one they were looking at. "Luxury homes are so freaking cool…" he muttered as he followed the curved driveway up to the house. He parked out front and stared up at the three-story building. There were large windows facing them from that whole side of the house, he could see the living room spaces in the middle, as well as the entrance. There was an elevator in the center next to staircases, two 2-car garage spaces and what looked like several balconies to him.

"Is that a helicopter pad?" Sam asked, eyes narrowed as he inspected it from their lower position.

"It's a 'Cas Take-off Point' now." Castiel claimed and got out of the car to spread his wings a little. He looked around at the vegetation and scenery, up at the house and then back to Dean with bright eyes. "This place is beautiful!"

"It sure is," Dean agreed and found himself eyeing the garage spaces.

"Why don't you take a little fly around, see how you like it?" Sam suggested and Cas was off before Dean could even register the conversation.

"Cas take me with!" Desirae called after him and he swiftly returned to scoop her up.

"Don't drop her," Jet said with a fake serious tone.

Cas saluted him, "No sir, wouldn't dream of it." They shared a small laugh before Cas took off again, Jet cranked his neck to watch them go.

"That's still so wild," he muttered in admiration.

"Stop checking out my boyfriend and help me unload this shit," Dean opened up the trailer just as the second car pulled up.

"How do you like it?" Charlie asked from her open window, "I saw Cas flying around already so I assume he's enjoying it."

"It's awesome," Dean looked up and motioned toward the mansion, "Haven't been inside yet but I can see a lot of it from here. You're not worried about privacy with those windows?"

"Nah, we're a little out of the way for most people," Charlie hopped out and walked over to him, "Besides, it really opens up the rooms. You'll see when you get in there."

"Sure," Dean didn't doubt that she was right, he just didn't want random people showing up and taking pictures of Cas from wherever. There was a gate though, so maybe that wouldn't really be an issue.

The team started unpacking by the time Cas returned with Desirae, he put her down and both hurried to the first people they wanted to see.

"Dee!" Cas jumped on him, wings fluttering with the residual energy from flying about, "It's so pretty here! I love it!"

"Then we're definitely staying," Dean laughed and kissed Cas' cheek as soon as he got the opportunity. He couldn't say no after hearing that, even if he was vaguely worried about one or two things like convenience and privacy.

Desirae ran to Jet and Sam, climbing onto Sam first and transferring to Jet the second he was aware of her. "I like it here too, are you okay with it? Can we stay?" She spoke fast but Jet seemed to understand it without an issue.

"I like it too, doesn't remind me of anything we already experienced," Jet supported her and moved to get out of everyone else's way. "You know, other than the hotels and stuff. Those were a similar kind of fancy."

"How many bedrooms?" Rae looked up at the house then back to Jet.

"There are five, so you'll be sharing your room with grandma for a while. That okay?"

Desirae nodded quickly, "That's okay! I can't wait, we're gonna tell stories and play games-"

"Don't keep her up too long," Dean chuckled, "She has an early bedtime."

"Watch it, son." Nikki warned with a telling smile.

They continued carrying the boxes in and Dean realized how easy it was to move people without furniture. Sure they had a lot of random items, but most of the things they'd need were already available so it was all clothes and personal things. They carried everything into the main entrance and left it piled there, it was time to explore the building a little bit.

Sam was off like a shot, he'd already laid claim to a room but it was time to place some of his shit in there to solidify it. Dean didn't care, he knew he'd be happy in any room as long as Cas was there with him.

"I still can't believe there's an elevator," Jet laughed and hit the button. He looked over to where Rae was jumping onto a couch and walking across it to get to the other side of the room. "Hey kiddo, let me show you where you'll be staying."

"You guys divvied up the rooms already, huh?" Cas asked Charlie who shrugged and nodded.

"Yeah, but we left the master bedroom for you." She smiled wide as Cas' eyes watered.

"Really?"

"Yep."

"Awwww you're the best!" He cheered before hugging her.

"You're welcome, we just figured that considering everything you'd appreciate most." She squeezed him back and started pulling him to the stairs, "I'll show it to you, c'mon."

Michael turned to Dean as everyone dispersed around the place, "Hey," he nudged Dean's side to get his attention. "Thank you."

Dean blinked a few times, he could only imagine Michael meant one thing but he figured he'd clarify anyway. "For what? Cas?"

"Yeah," Michael smiled and looked around, "You've been amazing with him, I've never seen Cas happier."

Dean wasn't sure what to say to that, he didn't really know if he needed to say anything either. He smiled and looked around too, seeing what they've built together already. "Thanks," he said after a few moments of silence, "I really appreciate that."

Michael nodded and pat Dean's shoulder, "Welcome to the family, Dee."

Dean laughed and had to take a second to realize how weird that sounded from anyone else. "Thanks Mike."

Michael kept nodding until the head movement turned into a shake, his lips curled in as he cringed to himself. "That felt weird."

"Yeah," Dean was quick to agree.

"Yeah, I'll just call you Dean."

"Probably better that way."

"Probably."
