Fading Angels [SPN Fanfic]

No Goodbye's

A/N: Based on 5x22 Swan Song. Enjoy!

I sat in the backseat with Castiel who was sleeping. I was laying against him with my eyes closed but still awake.

"Aww. Ain't they little angels?" Dean commented from the driver's seat.

"Angels don't sleep." Sam replied to Dean from the passenger seat.

I felt myself drifting off to sleep as Sam told Dean to have a normal apple-pie life.

Morning came all too soon for our small troop that consisted of three hunters, one angel and an angel-human hybrid. I was trying to hold back the tears as Sam said his goodbyes. Bobby told him to fight Lucifer tooth and nail, Cass said that he couldn't take care of us so Sam told him to humour him.

"Oh. I was supposed to lie. Uh... Sure. They'll be fine."

"Just -- just stop... talking."

Sam came to me and I threw my arms around him as the tears burst out. "Hey Gentle Giant, I will put in a word for you when I punch God out."

Sam laughed but gave me a bear hug before walking to the Impala's trunk. We all averted our eyes and waited till he was finished. Sam started walking up to the building but I stopped him and gave him an icecream.

I leaned into Castiel as bright white light filled the windows until they dimmed back to the dark they were before. Dean walked out crying and I felt my heart fall to my feet. Not even Castiel's arm around me offered comfort. I went straight to my room when we were back at Bobby's. In only half a year I had found a new family, a new life and now it was disappearing infront of my eyes. I sat in my bed and stared up at the ceiling.

I woke up as I felt a hand trail through my hair.

"Goodbye Kaylee."

I heard the flutter of wings and sat up. Goodbye? Where did he think he was going? I was getting better at transporting and found myself in beside Bobby's van.

"No goodbye's Cass. Only hello's and see you soon's."

The three of us transported to the cemetery. Dean was playing music from the Impala and was talking to Michael and Lucifer.

"Hey Assbutt!"

Castiel threw a flaming bottle at Michael which made Lucifer very mad. Pissed actually. Lucifer snapped his fingers and Castiel exploded. I screamed and fell to my knees crying. Lucifer ignored me but began to beat Dean up. Bobby shot at him to help Dean but with another snap broke Bobby's neck and I felt anger flare throughout me.

I stepped carefully toward Lucifer and tried yanking him away from Dean. Lucifer faced me and shook his head with disapproval.

"Kaylee. Stay out of this. I still want to be and uncle."

I gasped and he put a circle of holy fire around me. I looked away. I couldn't stand seeing Lucifer hurt Dean in Sam's body. I look over because I couldn't hear Dean's groans from the punches. Lucifer was in mid punch and staring at the impala. Sam is obviously back as he lets go of Dean. He tells Dean he has control and his gaze comes over to me trapped by holy fire. His gaze holds knowledge and then he throws the rings and says the chant. Earth falls away to a never ending hole. The hole widens as more earth falls away into the hole.

Sam is staring at Dean when Michael reappears. Sam tries to fall into the hole before Michael stops him but Michael grabs for him. Sam grabs him and they fall into the cage. A flash of light forces me to look away and when I look back, the hole is gone. Only the rings remain. I sit down and pull my knees to my chest and hug them. I bury my face and let the trees fall freely. Cass was gone. Bobby was gone. Sam was gone. There was only Dean and me.

"Cass, you're alive?"

"I'm better than that."

I look up to see Castiel heal Dean.

"Cas, are you God?"

"That's a nice compliment. But no. Although, I do believe he brought me back. New and improved."

Castiel revived Bobby and then came over to me. He used some of his angelic mojo to free me and brought me into a tight embrace. We climbed into the Impala after he sent Bobby back home.

"What are you gonna do now?" Dean asked Castiel who was finally in the passenger seat.

"Return to Heaven, I suppose."

"Heaven?"

I transported to my room. I loved that angel and he wants to go back up to Heaven?! I buried my face in my pillow. When should I tell him? Should I tell him? I remembered Sam's look before he jumped in the cage. He seemed to say that he knew and that he was wishing good luck and to take care.
