The Van Allen's vs Seeing Double

Blair had disappeared out of the room, leaving Karoline alone with nothing but her own thoughts. She pushed up off the bed and looked around the nearly empty room when her phone rang. She frowned at the caller ID and swiped her phone off the desk to answer the call. "Dean?"

"What do you think you're doing?" His voice was harsh and demanding, a tone that surprised the blonde.

But, she knew exactly why he was reacting like that. "Alayna talked to you?"

"Of course she did," Dean answered. Karoline simply leaned back against the night stand and let out a short laugh. "What's so funny."

"Nothing," Karoline shook her head, scooping the glass up in her hand. "You're just the last person I expected to object to me erasing Cas from my head."

"Me? I'm the last?" Dean echoed incredulously and Karoline simply shrugged though she knew the Winchester couldn't see her. "What if this goes bad, huh? And instead of erasing Cas, it erases everything again."

"Then Blair will fix it like she did last time."

"But-"

"But, what?" Karoline cut him off quickly, Dean didn't say a word. "Go ahead, Dean say what you need to say. I don't want to... pressure you into agreeing."

"I don't know what to say." He admitted. "Everything I want to say to convince you not to do this, makes me look like an ass so..."

"No, you're just an ass," she joked, laughing softly, but it was more forced than anything. She bit her lip when she heard Dean sigh through the phone. "For my own survival, I need to let him go. You said it yourself."

"Yeah, but I'm an ass." He said, but Karoline didn't respond making him sigh once more. "I really can't stop you, can I"

Karoline shook her head, even though he couldn't see her, "I'll see you later, Dean."

"Yeah." And with that she hung up. Karoline let out a slow breath, flipping her phone over in her hand a couple of times before dropping it back onto the night stand.

"Was that Dean," Karoline turned at the voice to see Blair standing in the archway with two beers in her hands. She nodded and Blair pressed her lips into a thin line. "What'd he say?"

"Um, that he didn't like it, but he knew there was nothing he could do to talk me out of it so..." She trailed off, gesturing with her hands and the red headed Witch nodded.

"In that case, let's get this show on the road then."

"Right."

Blair set a beer down in front of Karoline's seat before popping open her own bottle and resuming her spot on the edge of the bed. "So, when was the first time you really saw him as something other than the Angel who saved Dean."

"What do you mean?" Karoline frowned, taking a seat on the bed herself. She scooped up the beer, honestly just needing a drink.

"The day you met him, you met him as the Angel who saved Dean," Blair specified, pointing the neck of the beer bottle at the blonde. "When did that change."

"I don't-"

"Think." Blair cut her off, her voice stern. And so that's what she did. She thought back to a time when started to see Castiel as someone more than just the Angel who rescued Dean.

She lit the candle and watched it flicker as it sat on the table. Sitting on the chair she, crossed her legs and rubbed her hands together awkwardly. "Castiel," She whispered softly. "Are you listening."
