[h2]Castiel[/h2]

"My name is Castiel" The angel replied before effortlessly pulling Ruby's knife out his chest & dropping it to the floor. He then raised his hand causing a flare of white light to surge forward while a brief phrase of the enochian language was heard audibly. The white light rendered both Bobby & Mika unconscious, causing both to collapse to the ground. "And we need to talk alone." He continued with very little emotion or concern for the power he unleashed on Dean's allies.

Dean stared in shock at the man who had just introduced himself as 'Castiel', before watching the knife fall to the floor loudly.  His body jumped a bit as the noise made its way around the barn.  His shock was matched and exceeded as Castiel knocked Mika and Bobby out with some sort of power.  Gasping, he turned back to him and pointed a finger.

"If you hurt them I swear.  Now...smartass.  WHAT are you?", he yelled toward the smaller man, almost in a growl.

"Your friends are fine, I have no ill will towards them or any reason to hurt them." Castiel continued on calm as ever un-perturbed by Dean's overcharged emotional reaction.  Harming his friends would go against his mission and following orders was something he was very good at. "As for me Dean, I am an angel of the lord." Castiel retorted with power emanating from his voice.

Dean narrowed his eyes, glaring at Castiel as he spoke about not having a reason to hurt his friends.  He rubbed a hand along his brow before his eyes went wide again at the admission that Castiel was an angel.

"An angel of the lord.  There's no such thing.", he muttered, his eyes not leaving the eyes of the angel.

For the first time since the conversation started Dean's words had an effect on the angel who inched a slight bit closer to Dean and raised an eyebrow. "That's the problem with you Dean, you have no faith." Right as he spoke the loud booming of thunder was heard followed by a flash of lightning roaring from the sky above allowing the hunter to witness the black silhouette of his wings..

Dean scoffed at the angel's words as the lightning began flashing and he witnessed his wings, his eyes widening in awe.  He squinted at the light, and his mouth fell open, before his stern face returned and he nearly growled,  "And why would an angel Save me from Hell, hmm?"

Castiel could tell Dean was shocked & startled by the showcasing of his wings, from what he knew the hunter had encountered many supernatural creatures, & situations yet angels were something that he had a hard time grasping the reality of. "It's simple Dean,  because God commanded it, because he has work for you." the angel concluded with a sternness in his voice.

Dean sighed, his hand once again coming to his forehead, as a massive headache was brewing from the news.  He laughed sadly from behind his hand, "Work.  Work for me.  Why would God have work for me?  That doesn't make sense.  I mean...it's God.  And I'm assuming by you being here, God is real?"

"Of course my father is real Dean, this is no longer a matter of what you believe or don't believe. The fact of the matter is I was ordered to lift yout of the pit because of what you are needed for. Is your doubt because you don't feel worthy? Believe it or not good things DO happen," Castiel said in response to Dean's questions about the existence of God & whatever work he had planned for him.

Dean smirked and closed his eyes, "Yeah...well not in my experience.  Good things happen to make the bad things seem worse.  But I'll admit, we could use a win, right now.  Other than me being out of Hell, there's a lot of bad.  So, what does God want me to do to fix all this."

He waved his hand around, gesturing he was talking about all of the worlds problems.  He then scoffed again, "Oh that's right.  You conveniently don't know..."

Castiel glared at Dean he was not a fan of his snark or attitude. That was something that was not included in his briefing about this mission. The audacity of him to question not only him but the creator who had took it upon himself to offer Dean mercy and relinquish his eternal torment in damnation. "Well in your experience up until now, as getting released from the fiery chains of hades is something i'm sure many many other souls in that realm would love to have. As for God's commands we will be in touch when more is required of you. For now I'd recommend to do what you do best & keep hunting, see you soon Dean." With that the angel vanished teleporting away accompanied by the fluttering of his wings.
