ACTION: RUBY (costarring white knight SAM)rehymenatorJanuary 4 2011, 02:37:33 UTC
[The figure below him moves fluidly, betraying her true nature as vermin, across the street. She keeps to the shadows, close to buildings and for another second he watches.
Then he produces himself directly before her, a glower over his face that is undermined so subtely by a hint of joy. He doesn't blink, just inclines his chin.]
You're difficult to track down.
[And without another word, he's rushing toward her, making to grab at whatever he can and finish Ruby here and now. This has been culminating for months, and he'd played the lap dog for long enough. It was time he took action, stopped listening to beings that would virtually melt in his true presence and begin to rid the City of its filth himself.
What better a place to start than their own personal pain in the ass demon?]
ACTION: RUBY (costarring white knight SAM)iloveatallmanJanuary 4 2011, 03:08:43 UTC
[Ruby's doing her best to hide her surprise as he appears in front of her. She should have known he was following her, should have known that someone was following her. Maybe the City has made her a little soft, a little less paranoid. Her usual guard has slipped and now, she's got an angel through it.]
Kinda the point, is--
[She breaks off her retort, moving to duck as he rushes her.]
[He stops short, swinging an arm back and turning with the momentum to try again. She moved faster than he remembered and it only served to anger him further.]
Nice to see Dean is such a healthy influence on you, Tweety.
[Goading him while he's pissed isn't the best idea, but Ruby just can't resist. She moves to dodge again, but this time she's too slow. He connects, hard, and knocks the wind out of her as she hits the ground.]
ACTION: DEANrehymenatorJanuary 4 2011, 02:38:06 UTC
[There had been a time he'd counted Sam a friend, a brother, even. Now, seeing him carting off the pathetic form of the demon most directly responsible for everything they had fought through together, Castiel shuts off all emotion for him. The channels he'd worked so hard to keep open and flexible one by one glossing over, hard and immovable.
Castiel's attention turns to Dean. Disappointment flutters across his face before he speaks.]
[It works fantastic if the idea here is to bend said crowbar. It kind of looks like a European seven now, just needs a cross bar. Castiel does, however, work out his jaw before turning back to provide Dean with a withering look.]
I don't want to hurt you. You're my friend, Dean. But Ruby needs to be taken care of finally.
Yeah you figure out a way to do that in this City, let me know. I'll be happy to help. In the meantime, you're acting like one of the other angel dicks and hurting innocent people.
[He gives the crowbar a disgusted look and drops it on the ground.]
Next time I get a flat I'm calling your ass to get the lugnuts off.
[Because clearly Cas is an insane dick right now but he won't always be. It's also Dean's way of letting Cas know that being an insane dick doesn't make him less a Winchester. Hell sometimes Winchester=insane dick.]
ACTION: ANNA (costarring injured DEAN)rehymenatorJanuary 4 2011, 02:42:01 UTC
[His sister is a force that he has faced and feared and obeyed may times over. One of the angels he trusted through and through, when he still clung to blind faith and hope in those he cared for.
Now, he's not sure what she is. Protecting a demon, allowing it to live and breathe and taint this already dysfunctional world. Not only protecting the demon, but actively attacking him. She's as strong as ever, and somehow more ruthless. And he can't hate her for it, but there is a certain amount of disappointment under all of his rage.
He hadn't expected the initial blow, but slamming into the wall is much more pleasant than her strength laying into him. It takes a moment for him to stand, but when he finally does he wastes no time in rushing back toward her, as foolish as that may be in his already beaten state.]
[She doesn't speak, what can she say? They way her former comrade-at-arms has torn through their friends has clearly shown that the Castiel they know has left the building and there's no reasoning with what's been left behind. So she pulls no punches when she arrives, knocking him aside like dust off her shoulder to get him clear of Dean.
With the sword in one hand, she heads further into the saferoom, to where Dean lays bleeding. Her friend, her lover, someone she's decided to care for after so many centuries and millenia alone. She needs to assess his damage, get him out so Bobby can lock Castiel in.
But she doesn't make it far, raising her arm to block the blow and deliver another one of her own.]
[Instead of attacking her directly, he moves toward Dean in an instant, preparing for the blow and attempting to move again, outside the perimeter of Bobby's land.
Only he doesn't move at all. And undoubtedly Anna isn't far behind him so with what minimal time he has, Castiel braces for the next hit while also completely bewildered at his lack of ability to get out.]
Don't worry about posting order because Dean is mostly going to do -this- unless Anna gets in troubldude_imbatmanJanuary 4 2011, 05:20:26 UTC
[Dean is lying on the ground trying to get feeling back in his shoulder and deal with the concussion he's pretty sure he's got. If he moves he knows he's going to puke and really, Anna is handling it.
It's nice to have a badass girlfriend.
Really.
Now if he were just more aware and less in danger of puking and passing out so he could watch her be badass]
Okay, Cassie, I think you need a venti mocha and maybe some new shoes. You're gonna end up with wrinkles, high blood pressure and then you'll have a stroke. Trust me when I say drooling, half paralyzed and wheelchair bound isn't a good look on anyone.
You know what? I thought you were my friend and I was trying to help. Instead you kept to the guy mold. You know where they turn out to be assholes. Consistently. Thanks.

You're allowing this.

Not that I'm not enjoying the rampage on the City but dammit Cas. You can't kill her here. You know she goes home to get smoked by Sam and me.
