DEAN'S MIND
Sam, Elena and Castiel are walking in a black, empty space.
"Cass...where are we?" Elena Asks
"In Dean's mind." Castiel Says
"Then where's he?" Sam Asks
"Excellent question." Castiel Says
Castiel raises his hand and a light emanates from his palm. There is indistinct shouting. As Castiel looks around, we hear Dean's voice mixed with others.
"We had a deal!"
"Wait. Hold on, okay?, We're coming."
"You can't escape me, Dean. You're gonna die.
And this-this is what you're gonna become!"
"Somebody help me! No!"
"There's so much." Castiel Says
"Your own father didn't care whether you lived or died. It's about who's the bigger badass."
"So much trauma in Dean's mind. So many scars." Castiel Says
"Well, yeah. Dean's been through a lot, but he's strong." Sam Says
"Sam...all of you have both been through a lot, and Dean is more than strong. What I meant was, if I knew..if I knew what I was looking for, I could just-I could simply go to it. But because Michael has Dean trapped away, drowning, I have to wade through all of Dean's most terrible memories." Castiel Says
"Cass, wait a second. Would Michael bury Dean in trauma?" Elena Says
Castiel dropping his hand and turning towards her, "What do you mean?"
"I mean, Michael said it himself. The reason he left Dean in the first place was because Dean was fighting back so hard." Elena Says
"So, if Michael wanted to keep Dean placated..." Castiel Says
"Dean thrives on trauma. I mean, he's had to his whole life, right?" Elena Says
"Yeah. It keeps him alert, keeps him ready." Sam Says
"Mhm, and if I wanted to distract Dean, I-I..I'd give him something he's never had before." Elena Says
"Contentment." Castiel Says
"Exactly." Elena Says
"So maybe, instead of looking through his bad memories, maybe let's, uh..maybe let's look through his good memories." Sam Says
Castiel raises his hand again, light glows from his palm and we hear Dean's voice around them.
"I think I'm adorable."
"You seem pretty cheery."
"Strippers, Sammy, strippers. We're on an actual case involving strippers."
"Finally. I'll stay here, hook up with the posse. 'Cause you know me -- I'm a posse magnet."
"Hey, see if they got any pie."
"You and me huh."
"No backing out now."
"Wasn't planning on it."
"This bar, this bar, this bar I've never had anything this nice. Rocky's still isn't for sale."
"Wait a second." Elena Says
"Still working that ghoul thing in Wichita with Cass. They should be back tonight."
"So that sale that you want so bad, well, it's just not gonna happen."
