Chapter 4 Diners. Drive Ins and Decisions
Castiel sent himself back to outside of the hotel door startling a hungover patron that had just stumbled out of his room. The man stared at Castiel, shook his head and walked over to the angel. He lifted up his hand and poked at Castiel’s shoulder, “You’re real?”
“Yes, you witnessed an angel of the Lord appearing in front of you," Castiel said in an even tone.
The man swayed on his feet, blinked owlishly at the angel “Wow, I guess I should have stopped before that last bottle. I thought you said you were an angel.”
“I did,”
“What have you been drinking?” the man asked suspiciously.
“Nothing, angels aren’t affected by alcohol,” Castiel replied.
The man put both of this hands on Castiel’s shoulders. “Whatever you are on, you need some help." He dropped his hands to his sides and started staggering away. “Angels aren’t real. People say I have a problem."
Castiel watched him leave, “Why doesn’t anyone ever believe me?" He shook his head and opened the door, paused and looked in. Oliver was already up, Dean was still asleep.
Oliver was doing some pushups in the area in front of the bathroom door. “Morning Castiel."
“Good Morning Oliver. You seem very energetic.“
Oliver paused at the top of a push up and looked up at the angel with gratitude in his eyes. “It’s amazing what a good night’s sleep will do. Thank you."
“You’re welcome. Perhaps we should go outside. Dean did not have as restful a night as you did I am afraid."
“Sure, let me throw some clothes on,” Oliver said. He finished his set, got up, got dressed and joined Castiel outside.
“How’d it go last night?” Oliver asked.
“Well I think. We shall see how he is this morning. Dean is complicated.”
Oliver arched an eyebrow, “That’s an understatement.”
“True. I noticed a restaurant not too far away. Dean tends to need to eat fairly quickly after he wakes up or he becomes rather short tempered. I am unsure as to how much longer he will sleep but I could take you there if you are hungry now,” Castiel offered.
“I’m ok for now. Are you sure Sam is still hanging on?”
“Yes. I spoke with Lucifer. Sam is unharmed and as of yet not broken. Lucifer seemed a bit unnerved by that. I had more time to reflect on what you told me. Lucifer made mention that I was finally seeing his true plan. I am starting to think the Apocalypse as written is not what his goal is at all. “
“You spoke with him? Don’t you have a destroy on sight order with him or something to that effect?” Oliver asked.
“Even if I wanted to destroy Lucifer I am not able to. He is more powerful than I. My weakened state makes me even less of a threat than I would normally be. He’d be quite capable of destroying me if he wished,” Castiel replied in that oddly unemotional voice again.
Whatever had transpired between Lucifer and Castiel, Oliver was quite sure it disturbed the angel much more than he wanted to admit.
“Can you tell me why you are losing power? Dean mentioned something about you not following orders but I didn’t really understand all of it.”
