Somewhere Between Heaven and Hell (Sterek) (Destiel)

I wasn't asking

Derek frowned as he stepped out of Cas' car.

"Is something wrong?" Cas asked noticing Derek's discomfort.

"It's quiet. Too quiet." Derek looked around. They were meeting Gabriel at an old shipyard.

"Gabriel just text me. He said when we get here to meet him near the blue cargo containers he'll be at number three." Cas said putting his phone away and looking around.

"That's awfully specific." Derek narrowed his eyes slightly. His wolf was bristling beneath the surface. Something was off.

"Gabriel is an odd one." Cas nodded.

Derek raised his brows at the angel beside him. "More odd than you?"

"Perhaps more equipped with people skills, but yes more odd than me." Cas answered defensively.

Derek chuckled, earning a smirk in return.

"Over here." Cas said pointing towards a set of blue shipping containers.

"Is there a reason he wanted to meet in such a secluded spot?" Derek felt his wolf itching to come through but Derek forced it down. He was being paranoid.

"A lot of angels don't know where Gabriel has been the past millennia, in fact only myself and Balthazar do, as far as I know. The only reason he's been pulled into this is because of the Winchesters. He drew too much attention to himself. After it was revealed to me who he was, we cornered him."

"Cornered him? Isn't he like an archangel?" Derek frowned at Cas.

"Yes, he is." Cas answered simply.

"And you managed to corner an archangel?" Derek asked in disbelief.

"There are ways." Cas smiled looking at Derek.

"Right. So why didn't he just disappear again?" Derek pressed.

"One word, Sam." Cas smirked.

"Sam Winchester?" Derek raised his brows in surprise.

"Gabriel had screwed with him several times, whenever they crossed paths. Gabriel took a liking to him. I didn't understand it myself but, Sam would be good for him." Cas nodded.

"So Dean and Sam fall for the angels and Stiles falls for the monster." Derek scoffed at the irony.

"You're no monster Derek. I have a very good judge of character, when they aren't angels, and you are the opposite of a monster." Cas shook his head seriously.

"Also, I fell for Dean, not the other way around." Cas corrected gently.

Derek smirked but didn't respond.

"Okay, he said three." Cas hummed as he checked the containers.

"Cas, we're not alone." Derek said suddenly hearing a few heartbeats not too far away.

"He probably brought Balthazar." Cas said not seeming concerned.

Derek stopped suddenly. Was this all a trick? Was Cas leading him into a trap? He hated to doubt the angel but, he was head over heels for Dean. If Dean had asked Cas to kill him, Stiles couldn't be mad at Dean.

"Cas." Derek said his voice deeper than before.

"Yes?" Cas asked not looking away from the numbers.

"Did Dean ask you to bring me here?" Derek asked. There was no reason to beat around the bush.

Cas turned to Derek. He tilted his head in confusion. "Why would you think that?"
