What About You? Well, What About Me?

Chapter 9 - Waking Up

{Dean}

Cas. It is Cas. I can feel it. I get up weakly as Lucifer falls beside me. I barely notice. I only notice Castiel. It's really him. "I love you Cas." I say to him, hoping he feels the same.

"I love you too Dean." He says, and I feel so much relief, my knees go weak, so I clutch Cas, hugging him tightly. He gasps. "Lucifer!" I turn around and see Luci unconcious on the floor. And then Gabriel appears.

"WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON!?" I yell, frustrated. Gabriel turns and fixes me with a cold stare.

"That's what I'm trying to figure out now shut up." He says before leaning back down near Lucifer. "Oh, yes, I see. His Grace is running out. I can give him some of mine for now but he has to be sparing with it. Oh, look, the baby is waking." Lucifer wakes up then.

"What-Gabriel? What are you doing here?" He asks.

"Saving your ass. Again."

Lucifer rolled his eyes as he attempted to sit up, he let out a hiss of pain and laid on his back again, "You should all leave..."

Castiel knelt beside his older brother, "We're not going to leave you!"

"Castiel... you have to. None of you are match for Raphael. He's coming back..."

Gabriel looked at his brother with pity, "He can kill you..."

Lucifer closed his eyes in pain, "He can't kill me... only Michael can... a little perk of being older is that the younger siblings can't kill us..."

I could see Castiel's eyes watering, he didn't want to leave his brother... and as much as I didn't like him, I didn't want to leave him either.

The Devil turned his head to his Trickster of a brother, "Take them away... I'll be fine."

The young Archangel looked hesitant, but nodded "Be safe, Luci..."

And with a snap of his fingers we appeared elsewhere.

{Lucifer}

I can feel my brother's grace dancing inside me... it won't last though and it certainly isn't enough to return my strength. I know they didn't want to leave. I could see it in Castiel's eyes... but it's best if they did. If I was going to die, I didn't want my little brothers to witness it.

I feel the earth move, Raphael and his angels are back.

I lay back on the cold floor, my eyes closed as I heard wings flapping.

"Look at you... weakened. And all because of a human." Raphael smirks.

I open my eyes and sit up, "Leave them alone, Raphael."

He laughs and looks down at me, "I'm not after them. We've been after you this whole time."

"Me?"

"Yes. I have to take you to Heaven for a trial."

I chuckled, "A trial... sure. Is Michael the judge?"

"No. Father is."

My heart skipped a beat, "You lie... He's gone.."

"Well He came back. And now you will be tried for treason."

"WHAT?!"

The pain in my chest returns and I lay back down. Treason? I was already banned from home, tortured... and passed off as a liar... now as a traitor?!

Raphael forces me on my feet, "So what's it going to be, Brother?"

"Do I have a choice? Have I ever?"

Raphael grins, "No. Not really."

With a snap of his fingers we zap to Heaven.

I look around, nothing has changed since I left. The only thing that is different is the aura. Its not sweet as it used to be... there's bitterness and envy. All the things one would think doesn't exist in Heaven. Even with that, I felt a peace wash over me... I was home... even if it was for a trial... but I was home.

[A/N: I'm so sorry that it's taken so long and that it's such a short chapter... we'll have more for you soon, I promise! Forgive me please!!!]
