two - steps towards redemption

[ Romana stares at the the video for a moment. ] ... A little much, wouldn't you say?

[dowhatimust]

The people I am dealing with needed a lesson, and it is one I prefer to give once. Just ... once

[onewithideals]

And if they don't learn from this lesson?

[dowhatimust]

Then I plan on putting my first repeatedly into his face.

[bladedfeathers]

Action because I can

[Jo pops up next to him, surveying the bodies with a bit of disappointment.]

I think you misunderstood subtle, Castiel.

[And why didn't she get to help?]

[dowhatimust]

[He clicks off the camera, and turns to his most trusted ally in this - in all this. His face is firm, but there is regret.]

Well ... then I suppose the lesson will stick more.

[A long pause.]

... I apologize, for not informing you of my decision.

[bladedfeathers]

I do need to know about these kinds of things.

[How else can she help him save the world? How else can she avoid letting him down?]

But I'll forgive you this time.

[dowhatimust]

I ... lost my temper. I talked with Gabriel today.

[He folded his hands again on his knees, looking around at the carnage.]

I am grateful. I have a feeling your forgiveness may be the only I will be offered, when Father returns.

[unbreakablelion]

Seems to be quite the death toll adding up around 'ere. Funny thing is, seems to be the folks that seemed decent doing the killing.

[dowhatimust]

I am still decent, Gene. These individuals were minions of Sam Winchester's and Gabriel's. Demons. I have cleansed their stench from your home. And I will kill many more demons - entire armies if I must - to stay the course and put the focus back on solving the problems at hand.

Namely, the Serpent and returning Dean and Sam's souls to them, as intact as I can make them.

[unbreakablelion]

Would it not make more sense to go straight for the Serpent? Behead the bastard thing and the rest will wither with it...

[dowhatimust]

[The General nods his head once, with appreciation. He is glad Gene has moved right onto planning.]

First we must find the Serpent, to behead it. The best way to do that is to find it's body, it's followers.

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.

I would hate to see your definition of unsubtle. Were those civilians?

[dowhatimust]

No. They were demons, loyal to the two factions of Hell.

[mamamolisher]

Demons.

[Give her a second, let her process that.....okay good.]

So we have demons here, and they look like normal humans. How do you tell the difference?

[dowhatimust]

Their eyes will turn black, and they will smell of sulfur.

[He tilted his head, looking at her thoughtfully.]

They will also burn with holy water, when it is splashed on them.
