Mun finally broke down...sigh

[kingofheaven]

Mundane,

You have been rewatching Supernatural as I understand it. But apparently having a Samuel was not enough so now you have me and you haven't even gotten to my part of the canon yet. Do you honestly think you need me or is this because you feel the muse box does? I hope you made me with something in mind otherwise I might go insane again.

A long overdue request, if you want my opinion.

[He sounds a bit annoyed there, but for too briefly. It's been too damn long, Nexus. Why do you do this to him?]

Hey Cas.

[kingofheaven]

[Cas turns and for a split second he smiles, a warm open smile that might look odd on his face. Then it fades into the general expression of neutral bemusement Dean might be used to.]

Hello Dean....it has been far too long.

[born_a_ramblin_man]

[Well, that smile meant Castiel had been on Earth for too long. He wasn’t all that surprised to see this, as he remembered what Jack had explained to him, and Sam.]

Yeah. A whole lot’s happened in seven years. For both of us.

Heard one of my future grandsons helped stop the apocalypse.

[kingofheaven]

Indeed.....John has explained to me in detail where you went and what you would do.

[Castiel was never not going to refer to Jack by anything other than his given name, which the immortal hated but put up with because Cas was one of the few friends he had left.]

John has been a credit to the Winchester name even willingly accepting one of my brother's into himself and falling to hell to stop Lucifer. and rescuing me from Purgatory even when I tried to stop him.

[born_a_ramblin_man]

Well, that's about... maybe a quarter of all the explaining I don't have to do. [Way to go Jack. Dean is silently grateful for that.]

Wait. Purgatory? Why the hell were you in there?

[kingofheaven]

[Castiel looked deeply guilty as he remembered what he had done to wind up in Purgatory. He still hadn't made his peace with it when Naomi had controlled him causing him to kill Jack twice. It was the reason he had at first thought Jack had vanished.]

I.....ate the souls of innocents ...thousands of them. It drove me mad.

[born_a_ramblin_man]

[Dean stiffens and glares at Castiel. Ohh he does not like the sound of this AT ALL.]

And why the hell did you do that?

[kingofheaven]

[Castiel looks even more guilty he has been on the receiving end of looks like that from John/Jack enough he knows what it means.]

I believed I was God and that all souls were deserving of punishment.

[born_a_ramblin_man]

[Dean’s expression remains as a hardened scowl.]

Goes to show the kind of shit that goes down while away in another universe.

[kingofheaven]

It was my mistake but I believed I was doing the right thing. It took Jack to make me understand how wrong I was. I am still trying to make up for the wrong I did to Jack and Bobby.

[born_a_ramblin_man]

[At the mention of Bobby, Dean can’t help but bristle and look Cas in the eyes sharply. It brought a little flare of both inner pain and anger all at once that could be seen through his hardened gaze.] You didn’t hurt Bobby, did you?

[kingofheaven]

[Castiel swallows hard and shakes his head no.]

I did not....but something I released did....he was...murdered by a creature wearing a human face.

[born_a_ramblin_man]

[Bobby. No... Son of a bitch. Dean’s hands were automatically fists at his sides. Part of him wanted to slug Cas in the face for that, but he didn’t. He was in fact getting angry at Nexus again, as he said nothing in response. If Sam and I hadn’t been taken... We could have protected him!

After a stretching moment of silence, he managed to speak, his voice sounding tight in his throat.]


Is his killer still walking?

[kingofheaven]

[Cas nods stepping back slightly in the face of Dean's anger. He'd been on the receiving end of John's anger enough to know a punch might come no matter what he said or did.]

Yes...John ended the creature's life himself before he came into Purgatory to find me.

[The angel still didn't quite understand why Dean's grandson had risked his immortal soul to rescue him when Cas had betrayed him and then taken the only family he had left in Bobby.]

[born_a_ramblin_man]

[Dean's calmed down by a hair. He doesn't flare up and throw a punch, but it will be a while before he's done feeling broken up about Bobby. He blames Nexus more than Cas, physically unable to be there for his second father figure. His curt nod comes off a bit stiff to express what little relief could be expressed, and in saying what he has to say he struggles with.]

Cas... Never again. Or I'll end you.

[Dean wipes away the twin tears from his eye. Damn it, he wants a beer now.

Mun deeply sympathizes as a cold bottle of one on a table appears nearby.]

[kingofheaven]

[The angel nods as a burger joins the beer as his mun's peace offering]

I have had this conversation with John as well. He has sworn to kill me if I even think about betraying him again and I don't doubt his word. It was a mistake making a deal with Crowley but at the time it was the only way to rescue John and your half brother from Hell.

[born_a_ramblin_man]

[Dean doesn't reply at first, as he opens his Heinekin and then takes a long swig of it. He'll probably munch on the burger later. It had better be his favorite; a bacon cheeseburger.

He'd consider on having one of Mari's home-baked apple pies (among the best of the best) too if it wouldn't be pushing his luck.]

It's what you get for working with demons. Eventually, the other shoe drops. [Cas will have to excuse him if he comes off as harsh. Can't blame him for being in a shitty mood...]

[kingofheaven]

[Bacon cheeseburger with extra onions, Cas' mun knows her secret favorite well.]

I know that now...and I will spend the rest of my existence making up for my mistakes. I am deeply sorry about Bobby....but that is not the only death your grandson had to suffer through Dean. Jo and Ellen are gone too.

[born_a_ramblin_man]

[And that news hits him hard too, and he gulps down more beer. He’s not looking forward in telling Sam about all this.]

[kingofheaven]

[Cas has a coffee appear in his hands and he breaths in the steam trying to relax.]

I did not wish to be the bearer of this news but John would not have told you the truth......he would have believed that you would be better served not knowing how your family suffered.

[born_a_ramblin_man]

[Sometime soon, Dean and Jack would have to just get together and just talk. Talk about anything. That thought comes muddled in the back of his mind as he’s just looking nowhere in particular. He swallows down a lump he felt in his throat as he admits something honest in return to his comrade he hadn’t seen in years...]

In the past, I probably would have done the same... I want to blame Nexus for this, but hell, truth is I’ll just be thinking in circles. And that’s not going to help anyone or change a damn thing.


I still have Sam, and other family over here, Cas. [He pauses as he’s hating what he’s going to say next.] Only thing I can do is look after them. [He takes a another swig from his beer bottle, glancing at the burger but not unwrapping it just yet.]

[kingofheaven]

No it is not. Fate followed the path she was set weither it was you or your grandson the path could not be changed. At times I was glad you were not here to have such weight on your shoulders Dean...you or Sam.
