Uh, hi! This is Ca- I mean Chuck Shurley, just- Chuck, sorry. [Indistinct fumbling noises] Leave a message after the beep and I'll get back to you as soon as I can. Thanks?

Only you, Sam, and I know what occurred. There's no reason it can't be hidden, provided nothing similar occurs again.

[paterelohim]

That's a pretty big "if", Cas. He was already... changed when he came here. This is all he needs to fall completely off the wagon.

I mean, if this was isolated, I'd be pretty surprised.

[wingsandwill.livejournal.com]

Even if it is decided that others should be informed, again it's a matter of who.

[paterelohim]

Hey, I know.

Look, if he does decide that he wants more angel blood, there's no guarantee he'll come after you. I mean, he might want something a little stronger. Like it or not, we might have to tell Gabriel eventually. Trust me, you do not want him finding out like that.

Otherwise... it's kind of... unclear. I don't- I don't know.

[wingsandwill.livejournal.com]

Do you know him well enough to speak with him about this?

[paterelohim]

I think so.

[It's a big maybe. Chuck knows Gabriel better than he knows himself- but Gabriel's walls come down for few, and his anger once ignited cools for even fewer. Sam and Gabriel are possibly each other's least favorite people on the island (out of the combinations that don't involve Lucifer), and there's no way this will end well. There really isn't. If Chuck tries telling Gabriel that the presumptuous, arrogant moose attacked his little brother, if he makes even one wrong move, then Cas won't be the only person he'll have to worry about. Sam has been on thin ice already.]

I want to give it some time. Sam's already on thin ice with Gabriel.

Even if Sam were foolish enough to target Gabriel, he would have a difficult time harming him. Unless we have true reason to believe he might try, we should avoid telling Gabriel.

[paterelohim]

Yeah, I agree. You're- you're right.

[Chuck looks at Cas for a long, hard moment, then crutches over to the liquor cabinet. It's only a minute before he returns with a small chocolate martini- enough so that, coupled with the small dose of painkillers, Cas should be all set for substances for a decent four hours. He looks like he really, sorely needs relaxation.]

Here.

[paterelohim]

Cas- don't worry.

[Sitting down gingerly on the couch next to him.]

It'll be okay eventually.

[He has to believe that, even if some part of him knows how incredibly untrue it is.]

[wingsandwill.livejournal.com]

Of course.

[paterelohim]

[Chuck can guess what Cas is thinking.]

Cas, can I tell you a secret?

[wingsandwill.livejournal.com]

[paterelohim]

[Chuck says the rest while staring at his hands.]

My visions are all point of view, as you know- I see inside a character's head. You probably also know it's not just Sam and Dean.

The secret is that I've seen inside Michael, Lucifer, Gabriel, Zachariah, Uriel? Even Anna.

If you could see what I see, you wouldn't feel pathetic.

[wingsandwill.livejournal.com]

Thank you.

fin, you think?

[paterelohim]

You're welcome.

[A pause.] Any time.

[Chuck leans over to grab the TV remote, then tosses it at Cas.]

You pick.
