Dean felt like a fool. He finally got out of that room and down to the shooting range and realized, he forgot his gun in Cas's room. He raced back to the angel, footsteps hitting the ground hard, only to be halted in surprise when she found Lexi standing over Castiel.
"What the hell do you think you're doing?" he yelled. Lexi quickly stood and straightened her posture. She knew Dean wasn't going to hear her out, so she braced herself for the worst.
"I was just..."
"You were just what? It's creepy enough that you watched him sleep, what the hell were you doing with your hands!?"
"It was nothing."
"You bet your ass it was nothing! Stay away from him! It's bad enough you did this to him, I don't need you messing around with him while he's recovering!"
Lexi was taken back. She understood that Dean needed to yell, but why was he blaming her?
"What do you mean? I didn't do this to him!" She finally found her ground to stand on.
"Yes you did! Don't even try to pretend you didn't! Everything was fine until you came along!"
"Yeah, I bet," she retaliated, "If I hadn't been in that vamps nest, you'd be dead right now! Twice!"
"Just cuz you had a hand in helping us doesn't mean we wouldn't have made it out of there alive!"
"Whatever stops the tears, princess," Lexi was interrupted by Sam's presence in the doorway, obviously not knowing how to deal with the situation.
"Just stay away from him!"
"I didn't do anything!"
"If you hadn't translated the symbols, he would be fine right now!"
"I am fine." A new voice spoke. Castiel was now sitting up in bed and had been watching the hunters fight. Dean instantly lowered his voice.
"Cas," Dean was speechless.
"None of this is Lexi's fault," the angel began, "if anything, she is the reason why I'm alive."
Lexi crossed her arms and fought the urge to give Dean the 'I-told-you-so' face she had been preparing.
"What do you mean, Cas?" Dean asked, taking a seat on his bed. Lexi sat on the chair on the opposite side and Sam stood at the foot of the bed.
"There's something I didn't tell you," Castiel started, "When I looked into Lexi's soul, her grace seemed to... boost... mine." The angel got nothing but blank stares from the hunters, "The only reason I thought I was strong enough to make the trip to Babylon was because of the grace I aquired by searching her soul."
"That's what I was doing here," Lexi finished, "I thought there might be a way to do that again. But this time, I went into his mind."
Castiel looked down, thinking hard, "That would make sense. Thank you."
"No problem," Lexi shrugged as if it were no big deal, but, in reality, she was exhausted from the endeavor.
"So, that's why you woke up?" Sam spoke for the first time during the conversation.
Castiel only smiled, then said, "I suppose."
"How did you do it?" Dean asked, pissed, but curious at the same time.
Lexi blushed at the happy thought she had brought to Cas's grace, "When I went into his mind, it was dark. I saw memories all over the place and they were all depressing. Somehow, I think I could feel them all, how sad Castiel had been during them," everybody waited in suspense to see what she would say next, "But, then, I found this little room, off to the side. When I went in, the only things I saw were happy memories. It was brighter in there, so I took the happiest memory and brought it to the center of his mind. I think that's what woke him up."
"What was it?" Sam asked.
Lexi looked at the men sheepishly, "I think that's for Castiel to know." Sam nodded, but Dean was hurt. He felt like he, of all people, should be allowed in on the secret. But, then again, it's not like they were a couple anymore...
