For a minute Cas completely forgot he was an angel and that he could fly. Or maybe he wanted to be sure Dean knew he was furious. Either way, he slammed the door open and shut again and on his way outside he collided to Meg.
Meg watched him rush away and frowned. She opened the door of Dean’s room and pursed her lips.
“Well, that explains it” she said.
“Jesus, Meg, get the hell out of here!” Dean said angry. Jo had already put on her clothes and Dean was putting on his. “Your boyfriend just left. You might have missed him, but if you hurry you might catch up with him”
Meg squeezed her eyes. “You know, envy is a sin, and not one that suits you”
“Oh, I’m not jealous, believe me. You and him, you deserve each other. I hope you’ll both be happy” Dean said sarcastic. He grabbed Jo’s hand. “Come on, let’s go, this place stinks of trash”
They tried to leave, but Meg blocked their way.
“Move, Meg. I’m not going to ask twice” Dean said sharp.
“When Cas and I were in hell, he took my pain” Meg said. “I was being cut open and I was bleeding, but Cas took all the pain, so I wouldn’t have to. And you can call it my humanity or my weak spot, but if you ever treat him like your puppy again, I will kill you and all your loved ones in their sleep. Got it?”
“Wait, what?” Dean asked confused. “What do you mean, hell? What was he doing in Hell?”
“He didn’t tell you?” Meg asked a little surprised. Dean shook his head. “He went to Hell to make a deal with Crowley. He said Crowley could do with him whatever he wanted if he released you from Purgatory”
“I…I didn’t know that” Dean said sheepish.
“Did you bother to ask?” Meg snapped bitter. “He did this for you. When’s the last time you did something for him?”

Cas beached on the street, far away from Rufus’ cabin. He wasn’t sure how to feel. He was angry, because Dean wouldn’t listen to him. Dean always thought he knew everything better. He was disappointed, because Dean had no faith in him at all.
He was so up in thought that he didn’t hear his name. But maybe that was because she didn’t use his real name.
“Emmanuel!”
Someone grabbed his arm and forced him to turn around. He looked at the woman. She looked familiar.
“Didn’t you hear me?” the woman asked. Cas stared at her. “Don’t you recognize me? It’s me, Daphne, your wife?”
Cas widened his eyes as he remembered her.
“Daphne” he said breathless. “How did you find me? What are you doing here?”
“Well, I hired a detective, I needed to find you” Daphne said. She searched in her pockets and conjured a big brown envelope. “I need you to sign these”
“What is it?” Cas frowned.
“A petition for annulment” Daphne answered.

Meg opened the door of a motel room and helped Cas inside. She guided him to the single bed and put him down. She gently pushed him down and he opened his eyes a little. She walked to the bathroom and dampened a towel.
She walked back into the room and sank down on the bed. Unlike Meg’s Cas’ clothes hadn’t been restored. Meg opened the ruined and bloodstained hospital shirt and dabbed his wounds with the towel.
Cas groaned from pain.
“You don’t have to do this” he said weak. “I will heal eventually”
“I know” Meg said absent-minded. She stared at Cas’ body. Even with all the cuts he still looked…jumpable.
“But thanks for the gesture” Cas said with a weak smile.
Meg continued nursing his injuries. “You know” she said. “If I was still human, I’d fall for you”
Cas gave her another weak smile, before he closed his eyes and fell asleep.
