When; Post-EitC curse // Demon blood reveal
Rating; R [maybe]
Characters; Ruby
blackeyedskank and Castiel
ordered
Summary; That elephant is truly out of the closet now, and it's finally time for a demon vs angel showdown.
Log;
It's been almost ten months now. Ten months worth of conversations, meetings, curses that have forced the angel in to believing that there truly was something different about the demon known as Ruby. He's seen proof of this first hand, with the simple fact that she seems to care about the welfare of the two Winchester brothers. Or seemed to, in her own special way. And while Castiel's very nature puts him at odds against Ruby, there was a part of him that seemed to find a way to look past what they are and through to the creature hidden amidst the darkness.
That foresight is lost now. It's thrown away, smashed into a thousand pieces and stomped into the ground. All with three simple words. "I've been drinking--" The sentence remains incomplete, and it's a somewhat fitting parallel between what has and what will happen. There isn't a conclusion needed to Sam's words, but an end is still going to appear for the demon.
There is a small part of him, a part the angel tries his best to push away, that reminds him that he's failed. He's failed in keeping track of all that's happening with those from his world. And while Ruby may not be one whose welfare he should ever be concerned about, it still feels like salt being rubbed into a wound. He's failed Dean by remaining blind to all that the younger Winchester and the demon have done. And so, he considers this a retribution. Enough has happened under his watch already, and while it's impossible for him to personally repair the damage, there are other things he is capable of.
And it's for that very reason that Castiel finds himself here, stood amongst the shadows of the alleyway. The location is fitting, considering the creature he is there to find. He makes no attempt to keep himself hidden, because he already knows that Ruby should be expecting this. And while his brethren would have already made their moves without waiting for her to see him, Castiel is different. He's been different from the moment he was given the elder Winchester as a charge. And so Dean's words toward him have made an impact, however slight.
He waits, because he isn't there to kill her. Not yet.
Too much has changed in this past year.
