A tensing silence filled the motel room. Jo wanted Dean to talk to her, but Dean just wanted to get drunk and Sam was on his laptop, pretending to be busy.
“How’s your injury? You want me to check it?” Jo tried carefully.
“What?” Dean snapped. Then his face softened. “Oh…no. But, thanks for the offer”
Sam closed his laptop. “I know this might be inappropriate, but maybe we should leave this place until everything falls into place again”
“Things don’t just fall into place” Dean said angry and stressed out. “That’s why we were born. To make them fall into place. I can’t believe you’d consider leaving while he needs us”
“He doesn’t” Sam exclaimed. “He can get out, but he just won’t. If he knows we’re gone he might come out”
“I don’t think so” Jo involved herself in the conversation. “Someone’s out to get him and they won’t stop until he breaks. Cas just doesn’t want to see us break in the process. So, when it comes to the smartest option, my vote goes to Sam. But when it comes to loyalty and friendship, I think Dean’s right”
Sam sighed deeply. “Then what are we doing? Are we staying or leaving?”
The door went open and a woman appeared. Jo’s mouth dropped open while the woman shut the door.
“I suggest we stay” Ellen said dry. “I just got here”

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.
