STREET

Metatron and Castiel leave the supermarket, Cas is carrying groceries.

"You're Metatron? The Metatron?" Castiel Says

"Yes. In public, it's Marv." Metatron Says

"Marv." Castiel Says

"And you're Castiel. Kevin Tran told me about you." Metatron Says

"He did?" Castiel Says

"Yeah. According to him, you and I have a lot in common. We're both free thinkers. We're both on heaven's most wanted list. I thought we could socialize, maybe grab a bite." Metatron Says

"I'm sorry – we can...what?" Castiel Says

"Look, I've been on sabbatical. I'm trying to play catch-up, but I have to talk to somebody about what's going on back home." Metatron Says

"And by home, you mean heaven?" Castiel Says

"Right. I've been looking around, crawling through a few divine nooks and crannies, and from what I can see, without the Archangels, it's a mess up there. Open warfare." Metatron Says

"I thought Naomi was running things now." Castiel Says

"Is that what she told you? I mean, Naomi's a player – don't get me wrong – just one of many. There are factions upon factions, all fighting, betraying each other. It's just a matter of time before they start ripping each other apart. It's all broken." Metatron Says

"I know, I'm the one who broke it. There was a time when I thought I could lead our people, but I was mistaken. I spilled so much blood. And I've tried to atone for my sins and I did penance and I betrayed my friends to protect our secrets, but I've just failed. And now—" Castiel Says

"Look, I know. But now the angels – heaven – need someone to come to the rescue. They need us." Metatron Says

"Us?" Castiel Says

"Yeah. Just – just picture it. We ride to the rescue, save the day – make a great story. Look, the angels are like a big, dysfunctional family. We need to lock them all in a room until we work these problems out – all the factions, you, me—" Metatron Says

"What, like a big family meeting?" Castiel Says

"Exactly. which is why we have to shut down heaven." Metatron Says

"What?" Castiel Says

"Do you like crepes?" Metatron Asks

"Wait –" Castiel Says

"Eugenie's in Ojai makes the greatest caramel apple crepes." Metatron Says then disappears

"Metatron – Marv." Castiel Says

"...Look Dean—" Elena Says

"Elena don't okay, please not right now." Dean Says

"What I'm just trying to talk you." Elena Says

"Why you've said what you needed to say, there's nothing left to talk about." Dean Says

"So What..your just not going to talk to me anymore is that it?" Elena Says

"No I'll talk to you when it comes to the trails and slamming the gates of hell." Dean Says As Elena sighs
