Castiel could hear everyone talking about in the background, but right now he needed to get them to the next step. He didn't have time to wait and see if the potion worked, he would just find that out when it did. Or he could always hand the job over to someone else. After making sure everyone was following him, Castiel began making his way down a very steep flight of stairs. The stairs themselves were made of pure marble, and the walls surrounding it were decorated in red and gold patterns of silk. His father always had an expensive taste. If would have been dark if it weren't for the candles placed on small shelves on the wall that turned on automatically as Castiel walked by. Or rather, the energy eminating from him caused them to trigger and turn on. The house in its entirety was designed to only work for and cater to Castiel and his father, including the security systems. As they walked, Cas gently took Abigail's hand and held it tightly, as if assuring her everything was alright. He didn't expect his subordinates to go into battle bare handed, of course.
Leon wasn't liking the feel of the long and dark staircase. It seemed like something you'd see in a scary movie just before the killer attacked. Without realizing it, he moved closer to Roman, his arm linked around his. Normally he wouldn't be sacred of such a thing, but after everything that had happened recently, he was slightly on edge. Not to mention he had no idea where they were going or why. Of course he guessed no one else did either. Srill, no one asked. Everything was quiet, that is until Castiel spoke up, making Leon jump the slightest bit. "Cordelia, keep an eye on the ones who took the elixir". He didn't explain anything else, but Leon could guess what he meant which meant that Cordelia could too. He wanted her to watch them and see if the potion was working. Aidan was completely lost and the bit about giving gods emotions was still a bit fuzzy. All he understood was that at some point Castiel didn't have emotions and Cordelia changed that by giving him the same liquid he had now given the others. He didn't ask anything more though. He knew all he needed to know. After what seemed like an eternity they finally reached the bottom of the stems and stopped in front of a pair of large metal doors. Whatever was behind them must be very important.
