Dean opened the door of Cas and Meg’s house and whistled when he entered the fancy hallway. “Wow” he said. “You sure you don’t need an extra room mate to fill in the space”
“We have plenty bedrooms” Cas replied. Dean turned around and raised his eyebrows. “I was joking”
“Oh” Cas said soft, looking away. He felt something soft in his back and stepped aside; Sam was passing through with his luggage.
“Where can I drop these?” he asked, lifting the bags.
“Here” Cas answered. He tried to scratch his neck again, but Dean grabbed his hand. “Aaahh!” Cas exclaimed and he jerked his hand.
“Suits you right” Dean commented inexorable. “Stay off of it”
Cas crossed his arms and pouted, reminding Dean of his behavior when he had just turned human.
“Can I do something to make you feel better? I can make you some dinner, or maybe order something” he suggested.
Cas shook his head. “No, I’m not hungry” he said, trying to sound thankful.
“You want us to call Meg?” Sam asked and Dean cast him an irritated glance. Why bring her up? But as Dean saw the look on Cas’ face he knew Sam had hit the nail on the head. Cas, who felt Dean’s judging eyes on him, looked down.
Sam took his phone and dialed Meg’s number.

Dean carried Cas to the entrance, where Zoey blocked their way.
“You’re not going anywhere” she said.
“Right, because you’re going to stop me” Dean said sarcastic. He pushed Zoey away and walked further to the entrance.
Zoey jumped his back. She tugged his hair and scratched his face.
Dean lay Cas down as careful as possible. He grabbed Zoey’s hair and pulled her off. He smacked her on the ground and kicked her wherever he could.
“I think you’re losing your angel juju” Dean said.
Zoey crawled towards Cas. She grabbed his collar and dragged him away, closer to the edge of the holy circle.
“What are you doing?” Dean asked scared.
He got his answer as Zoey emptied a few bottled of alcohol she had kept their in stock. She conjured a lighter and smiled evil at Dean.
“No!” Dean shouted, but Zoey dropped the lighter and caused another fire.

Cas beached on the street, far away from Rufus’ cabin. He wasn’t sure how to feel. He was angry, because Dean wouldn’t listen to him. Dean always thought he knew everything better. He was disappointed, because Dean had no faith in him at all.
He was so up in thought that he didn’t hear his name. But maybe that was because she didn’t use his real name.
“Emmanuel!”
Someone grabbed his arm and forced him to turn around. He looked at the woman. She looked familiar.
“Didn’t you hear me?” the woman asked. Cas stared at her. “Don’t you recognize me? It’s me, Daphne, your wife?”
Cas widened his eyes as he remembered her.
“Daphne” he said breathless. “How did you find me? What are you doing here?”
“Well, I hired a detective, I needed to find you” Daphne said. She searched in her pockets and conjured a big brown envelope. “I need you to sign these”
“What is it?” Cas frowned.
“A petition for annulment” Daphne answered.

Meg opened the door of a motel room and helped Cas inside. She guided him to the single bed and put him down. She gently pushed him down and he opened his eyes a little. She walked to the bathroom and dampened a towel.
She walked back into the room and sank down on the bed. Unlike Meg’s Cas’ clothes hadn’t been restored. Meg opened the ruined and bloodstained hospital shirt and dabbed his wounds with the towel.
Cas groaned from pain.
“You don’t have to do this” he said weak. “I will heal eventually”
“I know” Meg said absent-minded. She stared at Cas’ body. Even with all the cuts he still looked…jumpable.
“But thanks for the gesture” Cas said with a weak smile.
Meg continued nursing his injuries. “You know” she said. “If I was still human, I’d fall for you”
Cas gave her another weak smile, before he closed his eyes and fell asleep.
