The Road So Far

“We should talk about what happened yesterday” Dean کہا hoarse.
“I’m not sorry” Cas replied convincing.
“Neither am I” Dean sighed relieved. “But I have to admit that آپ took me سے طرف کی surprise. I didn’t see it coming. Besides, I thought آپ loved Meg”     
Cas looked away and gazed through the window.
“Meg betrayed me. آپ were right about her. I should’ve listened to you” he admitted softly. He looked back at Dean. “I think one of the reasons I’ve been acting so…reckless…is because I didn’t know how to act on my feelings for you. Especially...

The اگلے morning.
Cas was sitting up, a bandage wrapped around his chest. The door opened and Dean walked in. The guard wanted to close the door again, when Cas called him.
“Sir, would آپ mind staying here? I’m worried about my safety” he said. “The intention is to keep me from going anywhere. Best way of doing that is to stay here, so I don’t climb a window یا something”
The guard went standing اگلے to the door, his arms crossed.
Dean pulled a chair and sat اگلے to the bed. “How are آپ feeling?”
“I’m still hurting a little” Cas admitted.
“Can آپ tell me what happened?”...

Dean parked the Impala as close to the local snack bar as possible. There was yellow tape around the building and the police and medical staff were there, too.
“Looks like we’re too late” Sam کہا defeated. They got out of the car and walked towards the sealed building.
Dean held up his fake ID, as did Sam, when a cop blocked their way.
“Mind if we take a look?” Dean asked. The cop let them through and Dean and Sam stepped underneath the yellow tape. They walked inside the building and even though they were used to seeing dead people, what they walked into was still a lot to stomach....

Meg opened her eyes and looked at Sam an Dean, who were sitting at her bed. They were the last two people she had expected to see. She tried to sit up, but Sam gently pushed her down on the pillow.
“Don’t try to make any movements. You’re still a little weak” he said.
“I thought I was dead” Meg mumbled.
“You were close, but Anna healed you. She’s finally learned how to do it” Dean explained. He exchanged glances with Sam, before getting to the reason why they were there. “Meg, where is Cas?”
“I don’t know” Meg lied and she looked away.
“You were with him when he...

Cas walked inside the same café he had been the night he found out Meg was human, too. He looked around and noticed to his great delight that the same three men were sitting at the same میز, جدول as last time he had seen them there.
He stared at them, until they felt it and turned their heads to him. He smirked as if he wanted to say: ‘Come and get me’
He turned around and left the café. The three men looked at the bartender. “Come on, he’s asking for it” one of them کہا disbelieving. The bartender shot them a warning glance. He allowed it once, but not again.
“I will call the cops...

Cas and Meg reached the surface of the pool and Meg held her breath. She had forgotten how good Cas looked when he was all…wet. Cas took advantage of her inability to speak.
“I’m really sorry for everything I’ve کہا to آپ today” he began. “I never meant to say those things. I was thinking something, but what came out was the exact opposite. And then Balthazar کہا he and Kevin had put up a plan to kill آپ and I knew it was a setup, but I just had to come”
“Doesn’t matter” Meg کہا fast. “Let’s get out of here” she suggested. She freed herself and swum to the edge,...

Jo and Meg were in Cas’ room, packing Cas’ bags. Meg threw all his stuff in the bags, but Jo pulled them out again.
“You have to fold them یا they’ll never fit in” Jo reproached her. Actually she was just trying to buy some time. “You know, I really thought something was going on between the two of you”
“Why? Because we both turned human at the same time? I hate him for that” Meg replied.
“I think آپ just hate the fact that آپ can’t shut off your emotions now” Jo کہا wisely.
“Why are آپ doing this? I killed آپ and your mom. Why are آپ trying to help me?” Meg...

Cas opened his eyes and rolled them to left. Meg was sitting اگلے to his bed. He looked down and noticed he was holding something in his hand. He rolled his eyes to the right and saw the machines and the perfusion leading some kind of fluid medication into his veins. He frowned and tried to pull all threads out of his body.
“No, Cas, don’t do that” Meg tried to stop him. “You have to get better”
Meg didn’t understand. Medication یا drugs was what triggered it. He wasn’t himself when he took them.
Cas opened his mouth to explain, but something entirely different was said.
“Get...

Meg took a few deep breaths in order to remain calm, before she rang the گھنٹی, بیل on Heather’s door. This time her co-worker was dressed when she opened the door.
“Don’t tell me your friend is sick again” she کہا as she let Meg in.
“Depends” Meg started vague. “He’s having a headache and he’s acting weird. Again. Still”
Heather shrugged. “Those are side effects. Every medicine has a side effect یا two” she explained careless.
“What did آپ give him?” Meg asked.
“Does it matter?” Heather commented, avoiding Meg’s look.
“He threatened to kill me if I didn’t...

Dean was sitting on a chair, اگلے to Cas’ hospital bed. There was only one visitor allowed and Sam and Dean had agreed to switch turns.
“Why are آپ so reckless?” Dean mumbled helpless.
The اگلے moment Cas sat up and gasped for air.
“Cas?” Dean کہا and he stood up. He wanted to call a doctor when Cas took his hand.
“Am I alive?” he asked faint.
“Yeah” Dean nodded relieved. “You’re alive”
Cas closed his eyes and fell asleep.
A couple of hours later he woke up and saw he had company. Dean hadn’t left, and Sam, Jo, Ellen and Anna had joined him.
“You gave us all a big...
