Deangela - ch.4
IV
Dean started to believe more and more that ‘blondie’ was Gabriel, trying to maybe con them into believing he/she was a hunter too, helping them and getting to be accepted among them - being an insider when the end will come would give him a better vantage point to chose sides !! Could that be a possibility ? How else could he explain her fast moves and disappearances ? Could they maybe catch her ? But how ? The old fashion way - an angel trap like Cas did with Raphael ? More problematic would be finding her: she showed up if one of them was in danger ! huh, how about that ! Plans started to form in Dean’s head: what if this time they “put” Cas in a difficult situation while they watched from a safe distance (safe for Cas, of course) and see what happens ?
So Dean told his “counsel” about his plan and they decided to go to the nearest town to hunt: like this they kept training their people, kill some more zombies and do some cleaning in the process. And again, before they left, Chuck told Dean that he had another blurry vision but after it ended he had a good feeling, so all will end well….. and ‘blondie’ will be there too ! Time to move on !
They tried very hard to put Cas realistically in a dangerous situation - they got so good at hunting things - and finally Cas found himself alone in the living room of an old house with 15 or more zombies pouring on him from everywhere ! No way he could fight them alone…. And then, no matter how sure he was that his friends were protecting him and won’t let him get hurt, the immediate danger of the situation and the pressure of the moment made his heart speed up and he had that vision that his human friends told him about, only he didn’t see his life in a quick succession in front of his mind eyes. What he saw was what he would loose if he were to die, his biggest secret that maybe Chuck was kinda suspecting but didn’t have any proof because Castiel never opened his heart to anyone ! Yes, Castiel was in love and he knew his love will never be shared and that made him feel so alone sometimes ! But now was not the time to contemplate this kind of thoughts, he had a mission !
So when he started to get crowded and really worried there was a sudden fast movement around the room and zombies begin to fall to the ground one by one in a rapid succession Cas could barely follow ! But he didn’t loose his head so, while ‘blondie’ was busy killing zombies, him and the guys from outside blocked the windows and the doors, waiting for her to finish and realize the slight change in the situation. And then he found himself face to face with …. Dean ?! No, it was a very young, feminine, quite amused, one high brow looking straight at him …. Dean ! He would recognize that face anywhere - his charge, his friend, his new family, the reason he got banished from Heaven, his…. “Hi, Cas !” He didn’t think he could ever be so shocked, and yet…. Instantly he knew this wasn’t Gabriel and yet…. She was an angel ?!! “Are you an angel ?” She smiled, kinda sadly “Yeah, something like that”… Castiel wanted to ask a million more questions, but didn’t have time because Dean showed up and he was staring at ‘blondie’ transfixed…. And viceversa ! There was a prolonged silence, nobody saying anything, all eyes on their leader and this…… beautiful creature ! And then Dean tried to follow their initial plan, pushing her towards the angel trap but Cas stopped him “Dean, this is not Gabriel though she might be an angel !” Dean froze, seconds passing very slowly, and then she said “I want to be alone with Dean, please ! I won’t hurt him in any way, that’s not why I’m here.” By that time Sam was there too, gaping at her, still not knowing what to make of it.
The thing about ‘blondie’ was that, in her presence, everybody felt at peace, had this serene feeling of…. not being afraid all the time, like a huge weight was lifted off their chest…. like Chuck's visions: although they were blurry, he always had a good feeling about what was about to happen ! So, without hesitation, everybody left the room, leaving Dean and ‘blondie’ alone.
