Broken Wings

Chapter 12

Sam's POV

I know Dean said he should've seen it from the beginning that Cas was the girl's dad, but now I see it. I guess I really didn't get a good look at her before. She resembles him beyond compare, and not to mention how well he interacts with her.

We've sat down and have been just talking to her for a while. She's been able to get to know us, and we've been able to get to know her:
She's seven years old. Her favorite color is blue, because that's the color of her eyes. Before now, she'd never seen anything outside of the facility. She wants to see the ocean. She thinks Baby is really cool. Dean laughs at this.

Apparently her brain develops faster than a humans so she understands academics at a way higher level than anyone her age. She has telekinetic and telepathic powers, as well as speed, strength and heightened senses.

She also tells me something I should've expected, but wasn't quite ready for... she has wings. At first, I think I misheard her, but then she stands up, and wings appeared from her back. They are a brilliant white. They almost glow. When Cas sees her wings, he smiles... he is happier than I've ever seen him. He's only known her for a day, but I can tell that he's very proud of her.

"So, did you ever get a name?" Dean asks her.

She looks at Cas and smiles. Then, she turns to Dean and nods. There's a smile that stretches across her face. Dean turns to Cas.

"What is it?" Dean asks. Cas puts his arm around her and looks directly at her as she stares up at him.

"Lilybelle," Cas says.

Cas definitely came up with that.

It's nice... unique... just like her. I look from her to Cas. We've been through a lot, so has she. We may be screwed up... but at least we have this... we have family...

————————

Soon, our subject changes. While I'm sure we'd love to sit her and talk like normal people... we still have a problem on our hands. That facility and the group running is still out there. We need to know what they're doing... and how to stop it.

"Do you have any idea what they were doing?" I ask Belle, which is what Dean and I nicknamed Lilybelle.

"All I've got is they want to use supernatural creatures to make weapons," she replies.

"Ok," Dean says. "That's at least a small start."

"I may have more information to add," Cas chimes in. "I have found what exactly these people were doing."

"And what exactly are they doing?" I ask.

"The supernatural creatures they are using to make weapons... are leviathans."

Really? This is going to get very bad very fast.

"Well that explains the black goo attached to the IV," Dean says. "It was leviathan blood." He turns to Belle. "We're gonna have to keep an eye on you. There's no telling what that'll do to you."

"Well, I'm fine for the moment," Belle tells him. "Now, how do we stop them?"

I see Dean smirk, and Cas smile... then, I watch our team, our family, go to work...
