Fix Us (Book 2) A Supernatural Story

14- A Peach

Season 11 x 10

Dean and Calliope had tried calling Sam multiple times, and each time getting a voicemail. Dean had decided that they should head toward where Amara had taken them, to see if there was any evidence of what happened. "Oh, hey, Sam can't talk right now cause he's waxing, like, everything. But leave a message-" Dean's voice comes on the voice mail, "Dude, what are you doing with my phone? Dean, come on" Sam's voice then comes on, as Calliope hears the beep, "Sam, call us now!" she leaves the message.

Dean then tries to call Crowley, "Thank you for phoning Crowley, King of Hell. For Demon Deals, press one. To report a sighting of that ginger whore, Rowena, press two" he hangs up the call. Suddenly Dean pulls the car over, "Dean, Dean what's wrong?" Calliope asks as he stops the car, and gets out. Dean steps away from the Impala, and throws up.

"Dean" Calliope says, as he then leans against the car and slides down, sitting on the ground. Calliope sits down beside him, worry on her face, not knowing what was happening to him.
"Dean? Calliope" they then hear Castiel call out to them. "I came as soon as you called, are you all right?" Castiel asks looking at Dean.

"Cass?" Dean asks as he leans over and gets sick again.
"You're not alright" Castiel says as he kneels down beside the two of them.
"What's wrong with him?" Calliope asks Castiel.
"What are you doing? What are you—" Dean starts to say as Castiel was checking Dean over looking into this eyes.

"Stick out your tongue" Castiel then asks him, and Dean does so, and Cass looks at it.
"All right, are we done?" Dean asks.
"No, I'm gonna take your temperature" Castiel says holding a finger up.
"Nope" Dean hits his hand away, "that's not gonna happen" he adds.

"How far away are we from the event?" Castiel asks them.
"You mean, the angel nuke?" Dean asks him.
"Yeah" he says.
"Ground zero's about a mile down that way" Dean tells him.

"Okay, that explains it. You're suffering from smiting sickness" Castiel explains.
"Wait, what? That's a real thing?" Calliope asks as she places her arm around Dean holding him closer to her.
"Yeah. The angels, what they did, it released a tremendous amount of energy. And there's fallout. So this whole area's poisoned" Castiel tells them.

"But I can heal him, right?" Calliope then asks.
"No, you can't. And the closer he gets to the blast site the worse your sickness will become" Castiel says looking at Dean.
"How worse?" Dean asks.
"The last time there was a smiting of this magnitude, Lot's wife turned to salt" he says.
"Awesome" Dean remarks.

"All right, Dean, you need to go back" Castiel says as he and Calliope help Dean stand up.
"Uh, no, no, we gotta, we gotta go see if it worked, see if Amara's alive or dead" Dean says.
"We don't. The fallout doesn't affect angels. I'll go in alone" Castiel says.
"Are you sure, I can come with you" Calliope says to Castiel.

"No, you should take care of Dean" he tells her.
"Okay, we will take a drive, and go check on Sam then" she says to him.
"All right, good" Cass says as he walks back toward his car.

"Hey Cass," Dean calls out to him, "If it did work, and she is dead, bring her body out" Dean says to him.
"And if she's not?" Castiel asks.
"Run" Dean tells him.
"Come on, let's go. I am driving" Calliope says to Dean.

"No, no, I can drive" he says as he starts to feel queasy again, and gets sick, "Okay, yeah you should drive" he tells her. Calliope helps Dean get back in the car, and she goes around to the other side and gets in the driver's side.

Calliope turns the Impala around, to make the drive back to the bunker. They had been driving for some time, and we miles away from the smiting. "You feeling better?" Calliope asks Dean.
