Raphael goes back to stand under the Cage, which has opened wider, and catches the next body that falls out. It is not Michael, as she was hoping, but Adam, the Winchesters' half-brother. He is blessedly unconscious. She groans and drops him. Pulling out her sword she says, "Sorry, but we certainly don't need you anymore. The only way this works out in our favor is if Michael has his true vessel." Raphael brings her blade down and stabs Adam in the heart.
Adam gasps and his eyes flare a brilliant white before extinguishing. Two large wings of ash appear on the ground and Raphael recoils in horror.
Lucifer lifts himself up on one arm, sees them and screams, "Michael!"
----------------------
Castiel and Dean fight furiously. Dean staggers back as he feels his connection to Michael permanently severed. He hadn't even realized he'd had one until it vanished. Castiel grabs hold of Dean, sensing his momentary upper-hand and says, "We're leaving."
----------------------
Raphael runs to Lucifer's side and kneels next to him. "I don't understand! I sensed nothing of Michael - I only wanted to kill the boy!"
Lucifer looks at Raphael and tells her everything. She sees inside the Cage. Sees Lucifer as his grace is ripped violently from him by Sam. In the split second it takes Sam to take Michael's grace too, Lucifer and Michael have minutes. Lucifer, in a panic, tells Michael to hide inside Adam. Maybe he'll be safer there. He isn't.
Raphael is crying. It isn't something she's done very often. She thinks the last time she cried was when Lucifer fell.
Lucifer, weak as he is, speaks again, "He forgave me. After all this time, Michael...and you, you took him from me. You killed my brother!"
"It was an accident, Lucifer, I didn't-" Raphael forgets how to speak when she sees Sam, rising to his feet, wavering only slightly, as he walks towards them.
Lucifer sees Sam and makes a hysterical noise somewhere between crying and laughing. Sam stops next to them and looks at Lucifer. Lucifer can feel what's left of him start to disintegrate. He feels an odd sense of peace, looks back at Sam - at his eyes white, yellow, fire, and as he sees Sam turn towards Raphael, Lucifer begs Sam, "Make it hurt."
Raphael begins to bleed, and Sam eyes her hungrily.
----------------------
Castiel has Dean trapped in some form of holding pattern. Dean's not clear on how he's doing it, but he's keeping Castiel from taking them away - just barely. They both lose their concentration when they hear Raphael start to scream, and Dean - in desperation, yells, "SAM! Help!"
Sam appears next to them, licking angel blood from his thumb like it's honey.
He turns to Castiel and smiles.

Is it odd that the darker the fic, the happier I am writing it?

I'm going to say no and just go with it.

Loved Castiel's hiding spot. Loved it more when Dean clocked him. :D Normally, I'm a Cas fan, but this Castel needs a comeuppance.

Oh I love Cas too, most of the time. However, if he did all of these things, I think the boys would be rightfully furious with him ; )
