All You Did was Save my Life

Reunited

            Dean heard the flutter of wings and rushed outside. Cas stood there and Dean had never been happier to see an angel standing in front of him.

            "Cas," he breathed, stepping forward and enveloping the angel in his arms. "I told you, you didn't need to come yet."

            "I could not just leave you to go after the King of Demons," Cas said simply, "And I knew when you found him you would try to protect me by going on your own."

            "The boys-" Dean started, but Cas interrupted.

            "Are fine," the angel said, "Balthazar is looking after them."

            "How's Gabriel?" Dean asked.

            "The same when I left," Cas said regretfully, "I am hoping that Balthazar will be able to get him up soon. At the very least, finding out what's wrong with Sam will help him." Dean nodded.

            "Come on," he said, "Let's see if we can figure out where the "King" is hiding." He led the way into Bobby's house and the older hunter greeted the angel with similar enthusiasm to Dean's. He began explaining to Cas what he had been able to find out so far.

            "We already met Crowley once, remember?" Bobby said.

            "Briefly," Cas replied.

            "He was the one who told us to kill Lucifer," Dean said, "I'd actually forgotten about him until I mentioned him to Bobby who remembered the well-dressed prick in the big house.

            "I remember," Cas nodded now, "So why don't we just return to his house?"

            "Rufus was in that area when we found out and I gave him a call," Bobby said, "He checked it out. Place is empty."

            "Where else could he be?" Cas asked.

            "We have a plan," Dean said, "It was a demon who originally told us where to find Crowley and it was a demon who told us about him this time. So, let's catch us a demon."

            Later that night, Cas and Dean were standing at a crossroads. Bobby was back at the house with Sam, who had no idea what Dean and Cas were doing.

            "Are you sure about this?" Castiel asked.

            "Nope," Dean said simply, "But I don't have any better ideas, do you?"

            Cas shook his regretfully and Dean set about summoning the demon.

            "I hope we get someone freakin' higher up than last time," Dean ground out.

            "That depends on who you got last time," a female voice spoke behind him and Dean whipped around.

            "Well, well," she said, "A Winchester and an angel. To what do I owe this displeasure?"

            "We're looking for someone," Dean said, "And I think you know where he might be."

            "Oh really?" she quirked an eyebrow, "And who might that be?"

            "Crowley," Cas said and the demon's entire demeanour changed.

            "I'm not telling you anything," she growled.

            "Oh, but you will," Dean said, "Because if you don't we'll be sending your ass right back where it belongs."

            "Screw you!" she bit out.

            "Cas," Dean said and the angel began the exorcism.

            "Screw you!" she screamed again, "I'm not telling you anything!"

            "Have it your way," Dean shrugged, though inside he was screaming at not getting any answers. When the deed was done, Cas stepped back and looked at Dean.

            "I'm sorry Dean," he said.

            "For what?" Dean asked monotonously.

            "Not finding out where Crowley is," Cas said, "And not finding out what's wrong with Sam."

            Dean just nodded, not saying anything.

            "Come on," he finally said, "Let's get back." They climbed into the Impala and began the drive back to Singer Salvage in silence.

So that whole conversation between Bobby, Cas, and Dean about remembering who Crowley was? Yeah, that was me remembering they had previously met Crowley. I totally forgot so that was my bad. Sorry! I'm hoping to keep with these Wednesday updates.

Also! Sorry I missed an update last week! A new job opportunity has arisen for me and it's something I'm really pleased about, but that may take up a lot of my time for a while, at least until I get used to things. I will do everything I can to keep on top of updates and if anything changes I will let you all know!

Thanks so much for reading and let me know what you think!
