004 | Castiel | [video]

[happytobleed]

Has anyone seen Sam or Dean Winchester in the past few days?

[ He's actually concerned that Dean hadn't really come back at all. What if he'd been hallucinating? ]

Are--[ He's not sure of the best way to word this next question. ] Are Lucifer or Meg or Crowley really here?

[ How much of that had been in his own mind? How much had that drug affected him? ]

Comments

[villainized]

[ His expression hardens at the mention of the cage. ]

Guess winning wasn't really winning, was it?

[happytobleed]

We all still came out of it better than you and Michael did.

[ A pause. ]

Michael is in there with you, by the way, and Raphael is dead.

[villainized]

And there's Heaven's mercy at work again.
[ Well, they were on passably civil terms. Nothing lasts forever. ]

I would kill you for that, Castiel, but unlike the rest of you, I understand what mercy truly is and you don't deserve it.

[happytobleed]

I don't see what you could do to me that our Father hasn't already done.

[ Being brought back, again and again. He sees it for what it is. It's punishment. ]

[villainized]

Oh, I can think of a few things. That's one of the perks of being idle for millennia. You get to hone your imagination.

[happytobleed]

[ Castiel doesn't quite resist the urge to roll his eyes. Lucifer is powerful and cruel, yes, but he's seen Crowley use far more creativity in his torture. It doesn't matter anyway, because Castiel is hardly an innocent. He'd much rather Lucifer come after him than someone else. ]

Then what would you do?

[villainized]

[ Lucifer laughs. It isn't a pleasant sound. ]

Ah ah ah. That would be telling, and where's the fun in that? But don't you fret, Castiel. You'll find out eventually.

[happytobleed]

I'm waiting with bated breath.

[ He knows better than to antagonize Lucifer, but he honestly can't make himself care. Sam and Dean are missing and he doesn't think Lucifer with go after Meg. He's more than welcome to come after Castiel. ]

[villainized]

Enjoy it while it lasts.

[ He lifts his other hand into view of the camera and wriggles his fingers, giving Castiel a little wave. That's all the warning he gets before Lucifer terminates the connection. ]
