Bloody hell, Castiel. What on Earth have you done?!

[dowhatimust]

I have made Hell bloody, Helen. I have done my duty.

[Cool blue eyes focus on her.]

How is the lady Elizabeth? She is safe? Well?

[notanemptymotto]

That is honestly your duty? To bring Hell here?

[ What kind of angel does that. ]

She is safe and fine. I'm not about to disclose her location over this network.

[dowhatimust]

I did not bring Hell here. Sam Winchester did. I am here to keep it from spreading any further.

[He nods his head around, his gesture of good will to Mandalus.]

Good. Don't. Just keep her safe.

[notanemptymotto]

So then you plan to destroy it all. What about the innocents in the crossfire?

[ Don't mind her, Castiel. Helen always looks at what war does to others. ]

I will, I promise.

[dowhatimust]

I am trying to keep the number of those down as much as I am able.

[His voice is calm, and a little hard.]

But I cannot save them all. So I depend on human heroes to ... take care of the important details. [Like making sure the innocents weren't anywhere near the angels when they threw down.]

[notanemptymotto]

I'm hardly a hero, Castiel. We all make mistakes. [ Meaning that she's done her fair share of wrong doings. ]

[dowhatimust]

Some of us ... more than others. But just because we make mistakes, does not mean we cannot atone for them.
