There was very little Cas could remember. Going in he knew hew was surely facing his own death, but the final minutes of the battle seemed like nothing else but a dreamy haze.

Bullets pounded and reverberated off of the walls, he'd been thrown back by a Croat and stabbed in his side. He managed to kick it off before it could contaminate him and as it leered forward to make its second attempt he was deafened and blinded by an impact that was not beast or human alike.

When he came to he was gasping up against the dingy alleyway clutching his side. His eyes scanned the area, he was confused, weakened by lack of sustenance and sleep. The will to collapse into sleep was strong and he had to fight it to scoop himself to his knees.

She heard the noise of something. Her flats clicked off the pavement of the alley as she ran towards the noise. It didn't take long for her to reach the place where she suspected the portal had opened up. From far off she saw a man hunched over. He looked like he was in rough shape.

Stuffing the stake back in her bag, Fred made her way over to him. "It's okay. It's okay. You're safe now. I've got you." Her voice was soft and while she wasn't the most threatening looking of people, she could hold her own. She bent to wrap an arm around him, trying to pull him to his feet.

This wasn't good. She knew she was getting some of his blood on her, but at this point, it didn't matter. Fred knew there was salve back at the hotel and she could attempt to fix him up there. "We're not far from where I live. Up you go." She told him, her voice still calm.

Cas was oddly quiet for a crucially wounded man. He knew the state things had been in when he left, he just wasn't sure why he of all people was being granted benediction. After everything went to hell he'd done his fair share of sinning too.

The former angel didn't deny her support, he kept himself up right while leaning on her for leverage as he pressed the inside of his canvas jacket against the wound.

Fred tried not to hurt him any further, but she was shorter than him. And she wasn't sure exactly how injured he was. Her brows furrowed as she tried to reposition his weight. "Can I ask what happened? We're still a bit from the hotel-- I live in a hotel a friend of mine owns -- but it'll help me know what I can do for you, injury-wise. Plus if someone is after you, I'll need to go back to the portal and close it. See if I can, at least." Fred said, rambling slightly.
