Dean sighed again, his eyes fluttering closed at the massaging of his shoulders.  That moment of relaxation was gone the second Castiel touched down, and he noticed his state, "Dammit Cas.  What the Hell happened!?  You barely have enough juice to fry an egg and you go up against a demon in a pissing match?  If we lose you, do you have any idea what that means for us?"

He scolded him like a child, causing Cas to roll his eyes breathing heavy.  He sat up with a small groan, and stared at Dean, "One…less…to worry about…", he stuttered.

"Yeah.  Well…you need to sleep, or whatever your vessel needs.  It looks pretty fried, and it's not like I would know you from Adam if you poofed out of that one and into another one…well…great…", Dean continued to scold, ending with a sigh as he watched Cas' head roll to the side, his breathing regulating, signaling that he was in a deep sleep.

"We need to make a move.  What's our next move, Sammy?"

Arik smirked, straightening his leather vest as he shrugged, "You know how much fun the old Bonnie and Clyde antics would be, especially with our leashes off…I don't trust the Angel around the baby, either.  That's why I'm glad you came back.  Sorry for being an asshole, back there…it was for the old man."

His apology was SOMEWHAT sincere as he leaned in close to her face, only to have his cheek smacked.  His eyes fluttered closed, and a sigh left his nose as he watched her walk away.  Before saying much more, a wide grin spread across his face and he sprinted toward her, scooping her up in his arms, "You just say where, and we're there…"

And they poofed.

Elena woke up with a bit of a jolt as Jay announced that they had made it to Sioux Falls.  She gave a sly little smirk as he explained his plan to her, and quickly exited the vehicle, ready to raise a little hell, for once.  Finding the Winchesters would make the trip even more worthy.  Taking care of the "problem", they were dealing with.  Well, that was just icing on the cake, to her.

She pranced around to the other side of the car, her daisy dukes riding up her legs as she bounced, and took her place in the driver's seat.

"Do you really think he'll break?", she asked Jay, "I mean…he could be like some of the other hunters.  He does run with the Winchesters.  They don't talk easy."
