Balthazar: Hello, Cassy and company. I never thought you would call. *chuckles* I was actually beginning to worry about you, brother.
Castiel: *jumps in shock* Balthazar!
Balthazar: Surprised to see me? *raises a brow*
Castiel: Yes - I didn't think you would listen. *looks down, feeling guilty*
Balthazar: Heh. *shoves his hands in his pockets* I always listen to my favorite little brother. So... I assume you all have a problem.
Michael: Now isn't the time to play dumb, Balthazar. You know what we called you here for. There's no way you haven't heard about what Raph is doing.
Castiel: *smiles, greatful* Its Raphael.
Balthazar: Ha! Of course I have! I'm just asking what YOU want me to do about it? If Raphy knew I was helping you lot he'd send his flunkies after me in a second. And honestly I don't want to deal with that.
Balthazar: However... I think I can make an exception for you, Cassy. *rubs his chin*
Sam: ... *thinks he's still annoying*
Michael: *rolls his eyes* It isn't like he wouldn't come after you anyway, once he got Cas and Anna out of the picture.
Anna: We would appreciate that.
Balthazar: I know, so why not help you?
Balthazar: Anyway, what can I do you for. I assume you want to trap him, and then what?
Castiel: We'd be forever greatful, Brother. *looks at him, smiling*
Castiel: Preferably kill him.
Balthazar: Cassy.... holding a grudge? *smirks*
Castiel: He'd deserve it. *tries to not get angry*
Sam: *sighs and leans against the counter*
Balthazar: Not going to happen, brother.
Castiel: *gives Balthazar a look* Yes. *he says simply, before frowning* Why not? If I had my powers, I'd do it. Or at least /try/.
Balthazar: Don't you want to see him sweeping the floor when we take heaven back? No, I want him alive. *crosses his arms* I'll at least try to make sure he never lays a hand on you two ever again.
Anna: Great. We're screwed.
Castiel: *sighs, knowing his brother was right* I just want to see him suffer. *ashamed* I know it's wrong, but I really want to.
Balthazar: Anna, don't look so down. You are far from screwed.
Anna: You weren't the one tortured.
Anna: Oh God. *crosses arms and puts her head down*
Balthazar: *puts a hand on cas's shoulder* Cassy... *looks at anna* Please. You have to trust me. I have a lot of things at my disposal right now that will keep him out of your hair.
Castiel: I trust you completely, you know that.
Balthazar: I know you do. I appreciate it, brother, since well.. I haven't been exactly trustworthy before.
Anna: Could you try healing me, brother?
Castiel: *smiles* It's all in the past, brother.
Balthazar: *rolls his eyes and touches anna on the shoulder* You could ask me nicer next time. I was trying to have a conversation. *aint even bothered though*
Castiel: *smiles at his brother, happy that he was here* It's good to see you, Balthazar.
Anna: Thank you. *smiles*
Balthazar: You too, brother. *grins wide* Alright, so I have a plan!
Sam: *smiles at them, then knits his brows* Really?
Balthazar: So, I picked up this thing recently that's like a little "mojo" trap. I use it on Raphy, and his grace goes byebye until I say it goes back. *grins* That should put him in his place.
Balthazar: *had thought about this before he even showed up lol *
Castiel: *raises his eyebrows, impressed*
Castiel: You're one of a kind, Balthazar. I'm not even going to ask how you got it.
Anna: Did you already know we were in trouble with Raphael? *frowns*
Balthazar: Call it a lucky guess.
Balthazar: *puts his hands back into his pockets*
Castiel: Thank you... for listening. *smiling, really happy to see his brother*
Balthazar: You think I wouldn't? I'm hurt. *sulks*
Anna: *looks at Sam then at Cas and Balth*
Castiel: I wasn't sure, I didn't even know if you'd hear me. *frowns, guilty* I'm sorry.
Balthazar: Well, you are a human praying directly to me so, yep I heard you loud and clear, Cassy.
Balthazar: No worries. *grins*
Castiel: *pulls a face* I'm getting tired of being human now. I miss my power. *raises his eyebrows* So! When are we trapping our brother?
Sam: We'll need to get all the equipment first. I
Sam: I'm guessing you'll help us out with that, right? *looking at balthie*
Castiel: Thank you, Brother.
Balthazar: *all of the necessary items, holy oil, etc is already on the table.* *looks smug*
Anna: Balthazar. You haven't changed a thing. *laughs*
Castiel: Show off. *grinning*
Balthazar: Hey! I can actually look impressive in front of you two now, so I'm going to do it!
Anna: Of course you can, we don't have our powers!
Castiel: *rolls his eyes*
Castiel: You always were impressive, before we lost our powers. *laughs*
Balthazar: Don't flatter me, Cas. *laughs*
Michael: Wait... are we doing this now? Don't you think we should wait until Crowley pops back at least? The more power we have behind us, the better.
Balthazar: *puts his arm around cas and winks* Anyway, the moment you are ready to trap Raphy, give me a call and I'll be here. I need to scoot though, business calls.
Castiel: *laughs* We will. Don't get yourself into trouble, please. *leans into the hug*
Balthazar: *waggles his brows* Never.
Anna: *makes more coffee anyway*
Castiel: *blushes, smiling at him* Good.
Balthazar: Goodbye, siblings, Sammy. *poofs away with the sound of flapping wings*
Sam: *waves then leans against the table* So... now we just wait for Crowley.. :T
Castiel: *sighs, sitting down at the table.* Yes, seems so.
Sam: Great! Who knows when he will decide to show up.
Anna: If Michael calls, he should be here soon.
Castiel: At least we have a plan, at least Balthazar is helping us.
Anna: I can't wait until things are normal again.
Anna: Well, /normal/, you know.
Michael: *pulls out the cellphone Crowley got for him when they were dating* I can call now?
Castiel: *laughs* Things will never be normal, not in this family.
Sam: Im ready as I'll ever be.
Castiel: Yes, I'm ready whenever.
