Meg's not sure what to expect.
It's hardly the first time Castiel has asked her something, or even asked something of her -- there's a baseball diamond out back to attest to that. But she cannot remember anything he's not been able to ask her in the main bar, except for wanting to show her that diamond. And that request had felt very different.
Though he'd whisked her off then, too. She has, in fact, traveled like that just often enough to know that it's slightly less disconcerting if you keep your eyes closed.
Slightly.
She opens them now to find herself in a room she's been in once before. She recognizes the blue and white striped wallpaper.
She also recognizes the woman sprawled in the room's only chair (and it's an impressive feat to be able to sprawl in a simple wooden desk chair), t-shirt inquiring What Would Nancy Drew Do?
Nancy, Meg suspects, would look for clues, try to put the puzzle together, solve the problem.
Meg doesn't need to.
A human girl who finds herself alone in a room with two angels has all the clues she needs to know that whatever she's about to be asked, there's more riding on it than a baseball game.
And that she's not going to be able to put the puzzle together without their handing her the pieces first.
She doesn't even want to speculate about what the problem might be.
Meg takes a deep breath before she tries to say anything.
"Hello, Michael."
At least her voice only shakes a little?
