When: Day 1 - 10:45am
Where: Mickey's Diner
Rating: R
Status: Complete

Apocalypse. Angels. Antichrist. Nothing that Dean had said over the journals or now in person was making any sense to Sam. That combined with the fact that his brother looked way more worn and beaten down than Sam had ever seen made Sam wonder if there was something really wrong. Plus, Dean had more than enough sense not to be spouting words like antichrist around a bunch of strangers that had woken up in the same deserted town that they had. One of the first rules of hunting was not singling yourself out and as far as he could tell Dean had been doing just that. Just because they knew the Yellow Eyed Demon wasn't behind this didn't mean that Lilith wasn't. For all they knew, she'd stuck them here so that they wouldn't be able to find a way out of Dean's deal.

Not that there weren't other possibilities. Who was this Castiel person and how did he know the Trickster? The Trickster could bend reality, but did it have the power to pull people from different times? It didn't make any sense. Neither did the fact that there were people here that knew them. People that he didn't remember meeting and knew things about Sam that he wouldn't have ordinarily shared with anyone else. They needed to get to the bottom of this and then get out. So why Dean was suddenly acting like a mental case was beyond him.

As he pulled him towards a back booth and away from the small gathering of people he studied his brother's movements and eyes. He was moving fine and his pupils weren't dilated, so it wasn't a concussion or drugs. He released his arm only when they got to the back of the diner. "Dean, what the hell is going on?" Sam asked, studying his face. "What antichrist incident? What are you talking about? We just buried Doc Benton less than a day ago." He had to bite his tongue not to mention that they also might have buried Dean's only chance to escape the deal. "And why are you suddenly in biblical mode? Angels, apocalypse, antichrist? All you need is a bell and a sandwich board that says 'The End is Near'."

Sam had opened his mouth to tell Dean to cut the crap when the other man had suddenly appeared beside his brother. Sam didn't appreciate being interrupted by the angel, but considering what he'd done for Dean there wasn't much he could say. Sam watched him stand there awkwardly a moment before Dean scooted over to make room for him.

Sam frowned at the conversational way that Dean mentioned going to Hell. Okay, so he'd probably had some time to have gotten used to the idea and knowing his brother, there'd been jokes made about it, but it was still new to Sam and it wasn't something he was ready to joke about or take lightly. The longer he sat here talking to a future version of his brother who kept dodging his questions the more frustrated he was getting. How the hell was he supposed to help anything if he couldn't get a straight answer.

He practically bristled when Dean said to keep the conversation spoiler free, shooting a glare in his brother's direction before holding his hand out to Castiel. "Hi," he said tersely, turning his gaze on the other man. He forced a tight smile. "It's nice to meet you. Dean told me what you did for him." Sam let out a slow breath. "Thank you."

Noticing the pissed off look on Sam's face Dean's head drooped slightly as he pinched the bridge of his nose. "Come on man, don't be like this." Please Sammy! He missed looking at his younger brother without the slight sting of rage and disgust over what had happened the previous year. Yeah, Dean had forgiven and all that bullshit but he couldn't help the feelings that still lingered there.

If he had to be stuck in this shit hole, he might as well enjoy the fact that he gets to be here with his brother. Not Lucifer's true vessel, not Ruby's bitch-boy, just his brother.

It took Castiel a moment of staring blankly at Sam's hand before he took it firmly. "Nice to meet you," he said with a glimmer of familiarity in his voice. "Again."

To the touch, any suspicions Castiel may have had about the validity of Dean's words about his brother were put to rest. Sam was certainly not the same Sam he had left in that green room. He was not as prepared to be Lucifer's vessel. "It was good to see you, Dean."

Sam shook Castiel's hand, giving him a slightly puzzled but look. He didn't know what he'd expected for an angel to look like, but this wasn't it. Even Father Gregory's impression of one had a little bit of fireworks. Still, Dean was right. There was something off in the stiffness of his movements.

Introductions aside, Sam turned his attention back to Dean. "Don't you think it's a little bit important for me to know what might cause a freaking apocalypse, Dean?" Sam said, the sincerity that had been in his thank you to Castiel replaced completely with a frustration he didn't even bother trying to disguise. He looked at Castiel beside him. Maybe he'd end up being more helpful than his brother.

"Dean, here, was telling me the reason you pulled him out," he said, looking at the other man - angel - expectantly.

Dean tolled his eyes, and just decided to fuck being nice. "Hey Sam, you wanna avoid the apocalypse? Remember that I get out of hell just fine and while I'm there take up knitting or something." If he wanted to play it this way, if he wanted to know the truth then fine.

He shifted in his seat to face Cas. "I know this is a long shot but is there any way you can fly teleport us outta things place?"

Instead of simply explaining to Sam the repercussions of killing Lilith, Castiel took his lead from Dean, who had clearly done the explaining already. "No, I already tried that."

A thought having occurred to him, Castiel then looked back at Sam with slightly narrowed eyes. "But that doesn't mean they aren't here." It worried him to know that Sam was visible to angels, but he first had to know what it might do if this Sam is from the past.

"What the hell does that mean?" Sam asked, his own voice rising to meet the telling off tone of Dean's. "Dean, you haven't given me a straight answer since we got here." That wasn't entirely true, he'd told him pretty straight forwardly about Hell, but Sam wasn't giving him much credit for that. There was obviously some huge puzzle pieces missing to get from Hell to apocalypse to antichrist.

"You're going to what? Keep me in the dark? Because that worked out so well for both of us last time." He knew damn well why Dean hadn't told him what their dad had told him before he died, but that didn't mean that he'd ever really forgotten just how long Dean had held out the imperative information that he might have to kill him someday. That was the kind of stuff Sam needed to know.

Sam didn't understand or process the conversation between Castiel and Dean, only noted that he didn't appreciate Castiel ignoring his question completely. "Who isn't here?" He snapped at Castiel. It wasn't that Sam wasn't awed by the presence of an angel - well, except that the man in the wrinkled trenchcoat wasn't exactly awes inspiring. It was easy to forget who he was talking to.

A bitter hollow laughed escaped Dean's throat as he heard Sam's accusations. "If you knew about the things you're going to put me through Sammy you would NEVER bring that shit up again. Why do you need to know everything? You can't do anything about it and here's a little spoiler alert for ya: none of it's good."

His gaze shifted back to Castiel. "Do you feel anybody near by?" He suddenly really looked at the other man...angel..whatever and noticed the fading scars on his face. "What happened to you?"

At the moment, Castiel did not have the patience to debate with Sam. He had learned from past experience that Sam Winchester had the capacity to be exceptionally tenacious. "Dean's right, Sam. Knowing your future could only impede important events."

Part of him disliked assuring Sam that his tumultuous future was the right one. He wasn't even sure himself. His second thoughts appeared in a sidelong glance to Dean. It was always better to play it safe with temporal displacement.

Dean's reply managed to shock Sam into silence for a long moment. If he knew about the things he'd put him through... Sam's mouth went dry at the implications behind that statement. One of his biggest fears had long been what he was capable of. He'd fought against the Yellow Eyed Demon, even died because he'd refused to give in, but that didn't mean that there weren't times when he thought there might still be some kind of monster inside of him. His dad wouldn't have given Dean that order if he didn't think it was a real concern. He turned blankly towards Castiel and stared at him as he spoke.

"Bullshit," he said after a long moment, though his voice sounded slightly unsure. "What did I do?" Sam asked, his eyes traveling over the two men. He could feel guilt for unknown wrongs knotting up his stomach already. "If it's bad, then I should...impede it." He looked at Dean. "I can change it. I will change it. I can fix it. Just tell me."

Dean stared at his brother for a moment as he tried to put his thoughts together. This wasn't his first time dealing with this time travel shit and no matter how hard he had tried to change the past it didn't do any good. Well...he stopped them from having to grow up in a hippie van so he guessed it did a little good. He gave a side glance to Cas, unsure of what the hell to do.

Ok, he could do this...just keep it vague-ish and maybe he could save his brother and him a lot of pain. "Don't trust Ruby," his eyes never left his brother's, hoping to convey how insanely important this was. "She's not on our side."

	"She's a demon," Castiel knowingly stated the obvious. "And no matter what she may say, she is devoted to Lucifer." If Dean was going to tell Sam the truth, he would support him. Though he was yet to know what "spoilers" meant, Castiel was certain that Dean would do everything in his power to keep Sam safe from the truth. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Sam felt sick. Whatever he'd done, it was bad enough that Dean wasn't going to tell him. Somewhere down the line he'd trusted Ruby. But why? She obviously hadn't managed to save Dean. Why would he trust her after she'd told him she could?

Castiel's choice of words touched off a connection and his forehead wrinkled. "Does Ruby have something to do with the apocalypse?" Sam asked, not believing that he could've been so wrong about a demon he'd started to think of as an ally in saving Dean. Lilith he could believe playing some kind of part in the "end game" as Dean had called it, but Ruby? She didn't seem powerful enough. Even with her knife, the spells and her take no prisoners attitude, he couldn't see her kicking off an apocalypse. She was just like the other demon's they'd come across. Except that Sam had believed her when she'd said she was on their side.
