A/N: Based on this request i received on tumblr by @ :

Hiii! Heard requests are open! If you like the idea, I'd love to read a fic Cas/OC where she is a Nephilim and the boys find her during a case because the angels are trying to kill her (kind of "No angel-human hybrids rule") and instead they save her and Cas is smitten. Non need for smut, mostly platonic and maybe a few kisses.

And I was listening to as I was coming up with the premise of the story as well as a few times as I was writing so I drew some inspiration from that hence the title.

Also thank you to for helping me get started on this and giving me a push when I got stuck. I really enjoyed writing it but it was also one of the harder stories I had to write for some reason. I hope you like it.

"Wait can we see that again" Cas frowned as he stared at the screen.

Sam who was sitting at the keyboard looked up at his brother and then the angel, "sure," he replied turning his attention back to his laptop starting to rewind the surveillance tape.

"What did you see Cas?" Dean quietly asked his friend making a note of his change in demeanor and turned his attention back to the tape before Cas could speak, "there!"

Sam quickly pressed pause on the frame showing a girl in her late 20s and the brothers both saw it too.

"What the hell?" Dean mumbled as he leaned in next to his brother to get a better look at the screen. Her eyes were glowing with a purplish light for a second before the room went white and everyone in it was dead. Burnt to a crisp.

"What the hell?" Dean repeated starring from his brother to his friend as Sam scanned through the police report, "she wasn't among the victims."

"That's because she caused this," Cas turned his back to the boys and started pacing.

Dean raised his brows "Cas?" Dean threw his hands into the air as he frustrated turned to his brother when Cas didn't reply making Sam get up. He took a step towards the angel, "Cas," Sam tried patiently, "then where did she go?"

"She flew out of there," Cas turned around to face Sam and then he looked to Dean, "but it doesn't make any sense. The color of her eyes either."

Dean took a step towards his friend reaching out his hand in a gesture to make him keep going as he desperately fought to keep calm and not yell at Cas, "you are not making any sense man! What are you talking about? What is she?"

"Nephilim," Cas simply replied as if that should answer all of Dean's questions but his face just got more confused and he tilted his head staring at Cas, "a what?"

"A Nephilim," Sam replied as he went across the library and pulled down a book from one of the shelves. "They are half angel, half human. But the men of letters thought them to be extinct?" Sam looked up from the book and to Cas for an answer as he found right page in the book pointing to it letting Dean look over his shoulder.

"I thought they were," Cas sat down frowning as he processed what he had just seen on the small screen of Sam's laptop.

"It says here they can't fly Cas?" Dean looked up from the page he had quickly skimmed.
