“Of course, I do know it can be a lot to take in.” He’s already motioning for the other to follow, walking on the ground despite temptation to float in short strides.
“Do not feel obligated to stay here if you do not wish to, just know that your privacy in said quarters is guaranteed should you require it.” Immediately he launches into a detailed explanation of the facilities, starting with their current location. It’s obvious he has done this sort of orientation before, for other new Leaguers just as lost as Castiel. “This is, of course, the main observation deck. Where the teleporters are located for entry from Earth. Most other members of the League will come and go from here, though we do also have an outer docking bay for any space-faring vehicles to land in. When we have larger meetings of Leaguers they will be held out here, usually for announcements or planning purposes.”
While he didn’t exactly admit it, it was probably obvious how right J’onn was from Castiel’s first step into the Tower. Landing in a space hangar had certainly been a new experience.
“I appreciate your hospitality,” he finally settled on, noting the routine way that he was guided about, the quick rasp of J’onn’s voice. There was a sort of reassurance in routine, the acknowledgment that he was being treated as any new member rather than being humoured or burdensome. “This is quite an area. I take it that you have a very large number of members.” What could this deck hold, a hundred people? Two? It would be challenging not to get lost in the shuffle.
‘ for us, every day is halloween. ’
There was a reason he came to this place, but it escaped as he landed and laid eyes on this human again. The Winchesters had failed their promise, but surprised him in a dozen ways. He could see the way that Samuel flinched when Uriel rebuked him a final time, and something clicked into place that he hadn’t begun to imagine–
This boy was destined to be the vessel of Lucifer, was filthy in a thousand ways, but despite all of the things that Castiel had been told and every mistrust laid out before him, Samuel Winchester was trying to do good.
So at the end of the day, while the Righteous Man considered the conversation they’d had at the children’s park and Uriel returned to their assigned station watching over the seals, he laid his feet on the worn carpet of a dirty motel room and spoke to Heaven’s rejected.
“For us, every day is Halloween.”
Layered with connotation and contexts that were bitterly unfamiliar, even as a longtime watcher of the earth, he took his time to unpick the threads of his meaning. Humans changed and grew so quickly, developing such a lush culture of understandings that he would never truly grasp.
Castiel’s lips, still alien to senses unused to the buzzing, clashing state of the physical dimension, twitched into a quick pinch, barely there before resigning themselves back into the determined set of his mouth. There was a great mourning in this human that started at his tongue and wound like a throttling ivy deep down into the depths of his soul, one that rang clear like a bell but deep as a gong. Something dug at it now, something he knew in a million ways that had nothing to do with human senses, that gorged on that sadness and sank its thorns in. (That is what the humans call addiction, he reminded himself, and that shadow is the taint of the profane.)
“I have told Dean Winchester that his days are long and his future unenviable,” he finally responded, turning his head to look out the window as if he might find a hint of what that would hold. Only one day after meeting Samuel Winchester and he had so many misgivings already. Wasn’t this what they said of the fallen Morningstar? Was this the reason so many angels fell for a lie? “I am beginning to find that the same is true for you, Samuel. I cannot say how much I wish that were not true.”
What a tragedy, that the world created by their Father might be so horrific.

‘ it’s just an interesting observation. in a, you know, observationally interesting way. ’
Somehow that didn’t sound right. But English was such a complex language, and human to boot…
“I suppose, yes.”
Actually, Sam had a point. Every one of the victims’ homes had a dog bowl, and none of them a dog. Now that it was mentioned he turned his head to eye a framed photograph of a pretty brunette sitting with what appeared to be a Belgian malinois. His first thought went to that story the brothers told him of the dogmen infiltrating families and turning them, but the victims hadn’t exactly looked like canine victims.
Which raised the question of how Sam had so quickly picked up on an otherwise tiny detail. One of Castiel’s eyebrows arched as he looked across at Sam, measuring his features and considering.
“Have you been looking at shelter websites again?”

@gracebidden liked for a spn au starter
He’s a little bit over-tired, maybe.. More than a little. A lot. Perhaps that’s why he’s slipping–on this case, or maybe just in general. He’s been in a rut for a while, and this should just be an easy case.. a werewolf, obviously–eating the hearts of it’s victims and leaving them staged for anyone to find. Like a serial killer, almost, and the thought of it gave J’onn chills. This wasn’t just for food, it was so obviously sport, and it weighed on J’onn’s mind.
So perhaps, he’s a little bit startled when he hears a flutter of feathers behind him, jolting a little more than he would normally at the sound. He steadies himself quickly, though, putting on that hidden smile he wears at the company, and hides the exhaustion from under his eyes. And then, he turns around.
“Castiel. I wasn’t expecting your company today.”
It’s always so nice to not be threatened with violence as soon as he lands. J’onn has gotten more used to Castiel’s entrances in a couple of months of off and on acquaintanceship than the Winchesters have in years of cooperation.
He tilts his head, noting the way that the hunter pauses before turning around, the weight that seems to lay on his shoulders, but exhaustion is a constant companion of any hunter. “The Winchesters are investigating something in the area, and when I recognised your car I thought it best to let you know. I take it you’re also here for the murders.” This could be fortuitous or calamitous--bad things always seem happen to hunters working around the Winchesters.
@gracebidden
So an Angel and a Martian walk into a space-station. It sounds exactly like one of Ted’s terrible jokes, and the thought makes J’onn tempted to roll his eyes. He doesn’t, for the other’s benefit, as he most certainly would not be in on the joke.
“It’s good for you to finally join us, Castiel. If you don’t mind–I could give you a more extensive tour of our facilities here. We already have some quarters arranged for you, as well, to use at your disposal.”
Quarters? He didn’t expect...quarters. Angels don’t sleep, after all. This is a form of hospitality, isn’t it? Right. They’re supposed to embrace human ideas to better relations. He isn’t sure if wasting a bed would achieve that, but J’onn would know better than he.
“I...appreciate that.” These soundwaves are so limited. Vocal cords are so mindbendingly small and communicating solely with them has proven to be a frustration. He misses the plane of the logarithmic spiral and its intricacies. “It would be beneficial to learn of the Tower, I am afraid that it is very alien to me.” For lack of a better term.
dc comics verse
(not to be confused with general superhero verse)
Cas is an angel from the Lion host of the Pax Dei. He isn’t the host leader but is close below them, head of a large garrison of angels whose main purpose is as the soldiers of heaven.
He has the background of most of the angels: he was created after the archangels and present for the war of heaven which Lucifer waged at the beginning of Creation. He spent much time close to earth, not in a physical form but as a cosmic sentry and watcher of humanity, always ready to lift a heavenly sword.
While a mighty soldier of heaven’s wrath and retribution, he has always been one of the more merciful of the Pax Dei—but that doesn’t mean he has ever hesitated to shed blood. What he does not know is that he has disobeyed orders several times and had his mind forcibly wiped each one. He hasn’t thought about why he can’t remember the plagues of Egypt or the massacre of Sodom and Gomorrah. It’s never come up, just as designed.
When Zauriel abandoned his post as a guardian angel and gave up his immortality for mortal flesh (JLA 1997 run) Castiel was intrigued. He never quite stopped watching as Zauriel assisted in saving the world, especially when heaven was betrayed by one of its own hosts and had to put down a rebellion from within in which Zauriel was key to victory. Quiet about his curiosity, Castiel waited further, only to be surprised by the imminent threat of Mageddon—and shocked and appalled at his brethren, who immediately began creating another universe to which to flee, prepared to abandon this Creation without a word.
Zauriel pled his case to Heaven only to be shot down, but dozens of angels stepped out of line to go with him to earth to hold off the world-endangering wars rising with Mageddon’s poisoning of the timeline. Castiel was among them. And when Heaven accepted all of these angels back into their ranks, Castiel made a decision. He didn’t go back.
Shoved into a tiny form vibrating at the right frequency for the human three-dimensional plane, it’s taking time for him to adapt to the ways of humanity and their dimension. He has approached the JLA as an ally, mostly J’onn J’onnz as a telepath who might better understand some of the things he’s struggling with in order to avoid misunderstandings. He has misgivings about just how much he can do and quietly wrestles with his faith and the loss of everything he knew in his convictions, but he’s relatively certain that heaven was gone astray and he is here to protect humanity as the angels were originally designed. Kind of.
(His main hangup is that the League so vehemently forbids execution or lethal force. What is a soldier of God if he cannot deal divine retribution? The issue remains one of confusion.)

THERE WAS NOTHING MORE HARROWING.
a thousand to one. a billion to one. ten. a hundred. hell–sam would take the crawling claws of hell and it’s rank denizens over this, meg’s silky black fingers brusquely smothering his airways over this doesn’t have to be a bad thing. at least she didn’t pretend when she wanted to crawl into his flesh and live in his bones that it would be good, that it would feel righteous. the likelihood of this.. whatever this was .. it was immeasurable.
he can still feel the bridge of dean’s throat under his heel, straining, blue to purple to black, the hearty snap of his spinal column. his hands, heavy and itching, feel like useless weights hanging off the roots of his wrists, like they mean to get away from him. it wouldn’t surprise him. they had stopped being his after a time. any inch of untouched flesh deserved nothing more than to be freed of the sins wrought from his body. to be purified of the inherent evil etched into him like the permanent staining of a tattoo, only it reached deeper than any surface of the skin.
sam hasn’t eaten in years. his stomach flares with a vicious pain, vertigo tingling at his skull and rising across the back of his neck. he follows the trodden path, the white of the suit he’d been puppeteered into blurring at the bottom of his vision like some heavenly light.
sickening. he almost vomits right there. his intestines clench ineffectually, muscles twining with an ache both famished and repulsed.
someone was dragging something of size through this path. out of commission as he was, a hunters instincts never really leave—the physical disturbances are enough. like something newly born, sam follows blind, sinking his arms over his abdomen. the thought of a threat hardly passes his mind.
after all. wouldn’t it be a mercy to die now?
dean’s body is slack and pale, colorless. sam hardly recognizes him through his bleary peripherals, and thinks if he maintains focus, it will suck any remaining flame of life from his body.
he looks away, screwing his eyes shut. castiel’s voice draws him back. you. lucifer.
castiel.
cas—
he was alive?
he opens his eyes, and dares to look. he was mottled, and.. tired. but.. distinguishably castiel. sam’s voice comes out hoarse when he uses it. he palms at the side of his skull, his hair loosening and matting at his temple.
‘ ... cas? ‘
Oh, God above.
It can’t be a trick. There's no point to it, nothing to gain but a few moments of cruel pleasure (so of course it can be a trick, what else would Lucifer do in the wake of another horrible victory?)
In a snap moment he decides that he doesn’t care. If Lucifer is pretending to be Sam again, well, he can have Castiel’s neck. There isn’t much left to breathe for anyway.
“Samuel.”
Something breaks the word in half, cracking his voice between syllables, emotion or fatigue he doesn’t know. Is he even feeling emotion? He is...tired. The world is dirty and he feels heavy and the air spins and twists around him like so many entangling vines seeking to turn his direction inside out until he loses all sense of space. (That’s the amphetamines, remember?)
He almost loses his grip on the body he’s lugging over his shoulder; it tumbles, and he barely manages to lower it to the ground rather than let it hit the dirt like the dead sack of flesh that it is. Don’t think of it, he can’t think of Dean as any other of the thousands of bodies.
Instead he focuses his sight on Sam, loses the bleariness in his peripherals. He’s gone too long on the drugs again, is going to crash, maybe he’s hallucinating, maybe he’s imagining Sam Winchester standing there looking every bit the mess of an archangel’s vessel. Maybe Sam is still Lucifer’s body. Maybe...
A rock clatters under his toe, making him aware for the first time that he’s walking, almost falling against Sam, arms raised and hands shaking with so many things but especially the drugs and the awe and the fear that spikes down his spine like ice, Sam, Sam, Sam, please be Sam--
He lays his palms on those familiar cheeks, eyes wide and a little too glazed. “Samuel, how could you be...?”
#angel with a shotgun
4.07 // It’s the Great Pumpkin, Sam Winchester
for you sastiel shippers <3
Honestly, if you see an angel that’s all eyes and wings and wheels of fire, you should be worried. Like, not because it’s going to hurt you or anything, but because scripturally, angels invariably appear to ordinary people in human form. In general, they only show their inhuman true forms to prophets – which means if you’re seeing them like that, they come bearing responsibility.
I woke up today with the phrase “spooky scary seraphim” in my head today, looks like we’re on the same wavelength.
@prodigil
Dean thought that he didn’t realise the plan hidden beneath their orders.
He always did underestimate Castiel, divine or profane. Why he thought that a being that had watched humanity from its conception wouldn’t see through the bravado with which he shielded his desperation, the snarl of a leader’s final pep talk he’d seen again and again army to army, Castiel wasn’t sure. Maybe he just needed to believe it himself.
Either way, he was entirely willing to do what Dean had intended, unspoken or not. For this he could die. For Dean. For the last hope they had, what little that it was, consumed in the yawning maw of the Beast and all that he would devour. It wasn’t really hope anymore, of course, more the drive of the knowledge that if they stopped fighting it they would succumb to it and they would rather die bloody than asleep.
So why didn’t he fucking die?
Why was he sitting here covered in the blood of everyone else who had gone into that fucking warehouse like Dean had directed, all knowing full well they were entering their slaughterhouse, on his knees with a gun with an empty clip, staring down at a twisted hunk of dead flesh he could barely recognise as the only goddamned thing he’d been living for?
How dare he die while Castiel was alive? After all that Castiel had given for him. All that he had lost. He dug his fingers into the dirt till the beds of his nails bled and he wailed and hissed and cursed until the tears ran dry because there was no other body in the garden to join them. Lucifer was walking, and that was the end. But it wasn’t his death, and wasn’t that the real joke.
(They’d left a couple of people at camp. Right. He wasn’t alone, not entirely, not yet. Not yet. Not unless Lucifer had gone to wipe them out as a reply to this failed attempt. Not unless...)
So he wiped his face on his grimy jacket, eyes red-rimmed, and left his gun where it was. He could carry Dean to the vehicle they’d brought if he put his back into it. He’d have to be burned. Of all the bodies left today, it was Dean’s he didn’t want to see returned.
Shuffle.
Castiel whirled around so quickly he overbalanced, nearly losing his footing, and he didn’t really care enough to correct. If a Croat grabbed him now, it was welcome to him. He caught a glimpse of a white coat and gasped aloud, tipping till his knee went out and he crashed down onto it, yowling a curse as he drew back and stared with the wide, suspicious eyes of a wounded cat. A thorn dragged across the back of his neck, but that wasn’t what made him shudder.
“You.”
There was no point protecting a corpse, but still he stepped forward between the figure that had crept towards them and the crumpled form of Dean Winchester. Sweat and dirt scratched under his collar, skin prickled with a fear he was ashamed to feel rocketing into his bones. “Lucifer.” All white, bright Morningstar, he was relieved for once to have lost his grace, to be blind to the way that Lucifer shone starkly across the world like a thousand burning suns and bled his mutilated sanctity into the oceans.
Something was wrong. He was too pale, was...shaking, eyes heavy-lidded, breath loud. It might have been a trick.
“Or...”
Sam?
