Being Alone (D. Winchester)

2.50 "Baby, I'm Not Leaving"

Night.

We were still driving. Cas and Meg were in the back which was pretty awkward.

Castiel "This silence is very uncomfortable. Is there something I should know? "

Meg shrugged "I don't know. Dean? "

Dean shook his head " No. Meg has that effect. Awkward. You know? "

Castiel looked at her " That must be difficult for you."

Meg" Dean's making a joke, Emmanuel. "

Castiel "Oh. "

I closed my eyes, shaking my head.

At the hospital. night.

Dean turned off the engine and we got out of the car. People were standing in the entrance of the emergency entrance of the hospital.

Meg growled " Damn it. Demons."

Dean's eyes widened "All of them? "

Meg"No grass growing under your feet. "

Castiel "How many of those knives do you have? "

Dean" Just the one. "

Castiel "Well, then, forgive me, but what do we do? "

Meg nodded "Yeah, Dean. Got any other ideas how we could blast through that? "

Dean" Excuse us. Meg? "

Meg rolled her eyes"Oh, for the love of... "

We walked a little away from Cas.

Meg " Sam's in there. I know you're enjoying the double dip with your old pal, but –"

Dean" You think it's that cut and dry? Really? You know what he did. And you want to tell him and just hope that he takes it in stride? He could snap. He could... disappear. Who knows?"

Castiel walked to us "I gather we know each other. "

Meg"Just a dollop. "

Castiel nodded "You can tell me. I'll be fine. "

Dean "How do you know? You just met yourself. I've known you for years."

Meg" You're an angel. "

Castiel asked confused "I'm sorry? Is that a flirtation? "

Meg" No, it's a species. A very powerful one."

Dean" She's not lying. Okay? That's why you heal people. You don't eat. I'm sure there's more. "

Castiel asked confused "Why wouldn't you tell me? Being an angel – it sounds pleasant. "

Dean shook his head " It's not, trust me. It's bloody, it's corrupt. It's not pleasant. "

Meg" He would know. You used to fight together. Bestest friends, actually. "

Castiel "We're... friends? Am I Cas?"

We didn't answer.

Cas " I-I had no idea. I don't remember you. I'm sorry."

Meg" Look. You got the juice. You can smite every demon in that lot. "

Castiel shook his head "But I don't remember how"

. Dean"It's in there. I'm sure it's just like riding a bike. "

Castiel "I don't know how to do that, either. All right, I'll try. "

Then he made his way to the demons.
