Casteel Ambrose's Story

Abigail was starting to get the feeling back in her body. It was a warm comforting feeling. And she wasn't as tired as she was a moment a go. But she does know that she is going to have to rest. Just to get adjusted to whatever was going on. The bright side was that she doesn't feel sick and that Cas is with her. Speaking of being with Cas he expecting an answer to something. At first Abby was a tad bit confused, but then she quickly realized what he was talking about. Her face resembled a tomato even though she couldn't really feel it. But she knew that she was turning red because Cas always makes her turn red. It's what he does. Abigail of course had an answer. "I-It's a yes. I would love to be your girlfriend. And go on tons of dates." She said. Abigail couldn't believe that she managed to say most of that without stuttering. Progress was happening. And speaking of progress, she was regaining the feeling in her body. She could tell that her face was still red. It wasn't going back to its normal color anytime soon.

Roman folded his wings into his back and waited for Leon. They were going somewhere that didn't require the need to fly. And his wings were too big to fit in the space they needed to hide in. Roman was trying to think of how not to be seen from outside of the cell. He could always say that Leon needed to be relocated. Walking back into the cage, he picked up the handcuffs. "I'm putting these back on you." Without another thought, Roman handcuffed Leon's hands behind his back. "They will think I am relocating you." He gently took his arm and guided him out of the prison. "Gently push left and right for me to turn." It was so that Leon guided the way without making it look like Leon was guiding.

Abigail was happy that Casteel was happy. She was someone's girlfriend. Not just anyone. Mr. Perfect. Her face was not changing back anytime soon. The smile practically glued onto her face. There was some silence between them. It was just to marvel in what they had. Abby squeeze his hand gently. Even though he seemed okay, for some reason she felt like something else was wrong. He never did explain why she was in here. Or why she no longer felt sick. All he said was that she was safe. But she was starting to think that there was more to this. Cas asked about her numbing feeling. Abby thought for a moment. She could feel her clearly heated cheeks. It meant that she was starting to feel again. She could definitely feel the warmth from Cas' hand holding her own. "The feeling is fading." Abby shifted a tad. The table she was lying on was uncomfortable. She managed to turn so that she had a better look at Cas. "Cas?" For a brief moment she looked down, but then gained the confidence to look into his piercing blue eyes. "I-I know you said I was safe, b-but I really want to know where I am and what happened to me." Abby only remembers what happened at the cafe. Cas was going to take her on a date, but then everything went black.

---

---

Roman managed to keep a straight, apathetic look on his face. He scowled sometimes when Leon would "struggle". It was just to make sure the angels realized that he was doing work for the council. No one stopped them. Or questioned them. They were practically home free. But now they needed to fly off. They got to a rather abandoned place. Quickly looking around he undid the handcuffs, but he pocketed them. Roman never knows when he would need it again. "We can just fly from here." No one was looking for him and the facility was practically abandoned from here. It should be fine, but he wasn't going to spread his wings until Leon gave the go ahead. The last thing they needed was attention drawn to them. Roman believed that they could get away without getting caught. But he also believed their were high chances that they would be killed where they stood. He was going on purely his love for Leon. Anything else wouldn't have been worth death.

Abigail was to say the least, confused. If there was a stronger word to explain her feeling, she would use it. But all she has is confused. First Casteel was saying she was on Eden. Eden was the island for the deadly angel disease. Then he told her she was infected with that same deadly disease twice. Abigail hasn't ever heard of anyone getting this disease more than once. Within a small time frame. She thought she had questions, but she didn't even know where to start. To add on to the perplexing thoughts, Cas just explained that he, Leon, Cordelia, and his father weren't human. Abby's face was no longer red. Just a tad pale. She was just trying to figure this whole think out, but it was giving her a headache. To be honest it didn't truly phase her when Cas said he wasn't human. Mr. Perfect couldn't be human. He was physically and mentally flawless. He had an aura that clearly attracted the attention of everyone. But Cordelia, Leon and his father was news to her. Abby opened her mouth to ask more questions, but she closed it when an angel like figure walked in.

His wings were a florescent blue and Abby really wanted stroked the feathers. There seemed to be an endless supply of them tucked in the wings. Almost as smooth looking as raven wings. If the brunette didn't believe Cas before about not being human she believed him now. Abby was curious to know who the new angel was and why his father needed Casteel. But those things felt like questions way above her need to know basis. Abby then thought about everything Mr. Perfect had just told her. What she wanted to know is what all this had to do with her. She was cured. Which meant she could go home to her brother. "Okay. So my boyfriend is non human. And I was sick. But what now?"

---

---

Roman was glad that made it out of the facility. Now they needed to disappear quickly before someone caught them. Leon said to follow him and then he took off. Roman spread his wings and surely followed. He was fairly new to flying and he had to flap his wings a couple of times. But he eventually caught on when he let the wind catch under his wings. Leon kept looking at him to make sure that he was keeping up. Roman was a bit offended that he thought Leon would be lagging, but he understood. They only flew faster the more they were in the air. If they weren't running away, Roman would have completely enjoyed himself. Flying around in the air and being one with the earth was quite liberating. Soon they were nearing these mountains. They were quite beautiful. Roman has never seen mountains like that. Or if he has, he doesn't really remember. There was a cave coming up that Leon was leading them too. They must be hiding in there. As they neared the entrance, Roman was thinking about his landing. Getting up was one thing, but getting back down was a whole new ball game. He was going to ask Leon how to land, but he would figure it out.

Abigail was completely focused on Mr. Perfect's words. "Once it fully adjusts you'll become a full fledged god, just like my father and I" That was when she tuned out. Her eyes grew wide. A God? A powerful heavenly being that people like her pray too when she needs help on a test. She had power? Lots of power. On top of that her boyfriend was a God! Everything made sense with him all of a sudden. He was perfect after all. But to hear that come out of his mouth was completely different. She tuned back in when she heard that her brother was turned into an angel. Abby didn't know how she felt about that. If Aidan looked fine and wasn't angry then she would be completely fine. But if Aidan was angered then so would Abby. But until then she was completely indifferent about that situation. What she was trying to process is that a God had wanted to day Abigail. A mere clumsy human girl. Wasn't even finished college and lived at home with her brother. Who also hasn't finished college. Of all the people in the world he had access too, he chose Abby. Out of everything she needed to process that was the one thing she was having a hard time with. Cas was looking at her expecting a certain reaction. But Abby just stared at him. Admiring his perfect features like she always does. "I-I'm dating a god?" She said, her face turning a bit pink. "Th-that actually explains some things." Like his flawless face.

---

Leon landed in the cave before Roman did. Roman slowed down a bit trying to think about how hew as going to land. But all his thoughts went into just crashing the nearest wall. It would hurt a little, but he would be fine. Then he was thinking about how Leon would feel watching this brand new angel crash into a rock wall at 80 plus miles per hour. Roman let the wind catch his wings yet again and he decided that his feet would be landing gears. As he came into the cave, his feet hit the cave floor rather hard. He ended up taking a flew clumsy steps before tumbling over his feet. He unfortunately had something cute and cuddly to land on. Roman wasn't sure how Leon felt being a landing pad though. He folded his wings into his back and looked down at Leon, with a smirk. "Well I can clearly see why we were lovers." He liked Leon in this position. Lingering there for a few moments, he rolled off of Leon and stood up.

Abigail didn't know how to take the laughter. It must have been a good thing. He doesn't laugh very often. At least around her he doesn't. "You are amazing you know that?" The light shape of pink turned into a deep red. Even while being sweet he made her face turn colors. Will they ever be able to have a conversation that leaves her cheeks a healthy peach color. Cas asked to explain what she meant by her comment. The brunette raised an eyebrow. He truly didn't know. Before Abby could explain that he was perfect another angel walked in. For a moment Abby examined the creature and quickly recognized him as her brother. Aidan was an angel. Seeing him with wings made him look like a completely different person. She didn't know what to do. "Abby! Are you alright?" His voice made him seem less foreign. "I'm fine." She pushed herself in the seating position. She winced a bit. Her body was still getting used to whatever Cas did to her, but it was much better than the first time. "Are you alright?" Then she raised an eyebrow. Another brunette was with him last time she checked. "Where is Cordelia?"

---

---

Roman chuckled a bit as he shifted on his bum. Leon seemed to be recovering from the crash. Roman was quite the heavy fellow. For a moment they just looked at each other. Roman really wanted to remember things. Especially about Roman. That was really all that mattered. To share the memories that Leon was thinking about. It was clear he was thinking about them. He looked down at the ground and rubbed the back of his neck. Maybe hearing about it will help. "How did we meet, Leon?" Roman was more than ready for story time.

Abigail gasped slightly when she heard that Cordelia was in jail. Why would they jail someone so sweet and kind? She is nothing but helpful. But when she heard what she did then she kind of understood. Even though she was having a hard time picturing Cordelia brutally injure Gods. But then again, she didn't know Cordelia that well. She took hold of Aidan's hand. She could only imagine what was going through her head. To think she risked her neck to save her brother. Another human victim to the disease. She definitely needed to make sure that she hugged Cordelia whenever they saw each other again. Although it would be hard with her behind bars. "Maybe she could be pardoned. Do you guys do that kind of thing?" Abby would certainly do that. Just throwing people in jail for a first time offense isn't really justified.

---

---

Cordelia did not like the dark. She couldn't see what was going on. She didn't know what was going on. And unfortunately she knew what was coming. The room she was in was sound proof. She couldn't hear who was coming and they couldn't hear her. For the first time in forever, the angel was terrified. Her body shaking to the core. Tears streaming down at her cheeks as she thought about who she was going to leave behind because of her recklessness. Leon was going to be dealing with Council on his own. Aidan was a new angel who was now at the mercy of the Gods. Lord knows what is going to happen to the angels that can think for themselves. All because she keeps a metal baseball bat in her room. But she was mostly crying for the pain that was to come. She could feel it and the head council man wasn't even hear yet. But he was coming. The angel sniffled and adjusted so that her knees were to her chest. Her hands were still handcuffed behind her back. There was no way out of this one. NO one really knew where she was. Maybe Casteel, but he was dealing with Abigail. Most important person in his life at the moment. She wouldn't be surprised if he didn't show up. In her head she started apologizing to Aidan. For making him a target. Then she apologized for Leon for never helping him get away from this place. And then to Casteel for ruining his life by giving him emotions. This whole thing was her fault. Because she didn't want to be here anymore. And now people were suffering and she was going to die. The former head angel continued to cry silently, waiting for her end.

---

---

Roman smiled softly at the ground as he heard the story. It seemed to be like fate was guiding them. His address clearly read a different number on the sheet. But a trick of the light from mother nature and they were able to talk to each other. He chuckled when Leon said he flirted the entire time. "Sounds nice." It would have meant more if he could remember exactly what he said and what they did. To see his face and reactions all over again in his head. There was some silence between them before Leon apologized. At that Roman immediately looked up at him. Leon was looking at the ground. Blaming himself for this. "Don't be sorry. I was clearly persistent." Roman doesn't take no for an answer. "And I am glad that I met you.." He smiled and moved over to Leon. "again." Roman doesn't remember the first time, but he was glad to have him now. He didn't feel so empty. Roman wanted to hug Leon, but that hug would mean more to Leon than to him. And he didn't want that. He wanted to remember what embracing Leon felt like so that it meant so much more for the both of them. So Roman kept his hands to himself. "I wish I could remember. I can hear and see the memories we shared radiating off of you. I want that." He muttered as he looked away. Roman didn't like not knowing anything about himself.

Abigail couldn't believe how corrupted a group of Gods could be. They were supposed to be holy. But they are turning innocent humans into slaves. No wonder Cordelia tried to fight them. The brunette might not have been that brave, but she would have definitely complained. Aidan had the look on his face that he really wanted to do something about his supposed to be girlfriend. Abby doesn't know if he had asked Cordelia yet. That will need to be brought up later. Cas gestured to Aidan's wings. Abigail couldn't help herself. With her free hand she ran her fingers through the feathers. They were as soft as she thought. Then another thought crossed her mind. "This is off topic. But do you have wings Cas?" Her cheeks heated back up to a light pink as she thought about running her fingers through his wings and being held by them. She was allowed to think those thoughts since that was her boyfriend. But it still felt embarrassing. "Just curious." This might have been the time to bring that up. But it was better than talking about horrible corrupted Gods. She was glad that she got a good one as her boyfriend.

---

---

Leon assured that Roman would get his memories back. Roman wasn't exactly sure how that was going to happen, but he wasn't going to question was clearly going to happen. Maybe there was a magical thing that could happen. He was about to ask, but Leon went on to talk about how persistent Roman had been. He smiled softly as he watched Leon's eyes sparkle a bit. It was like he enjoyed retelling the story of them being together. "You aren't complaining. So my persistence must have been good." Roman let out an amused chuckle before letting silence wash over them once more. Then he looked up and just looked at Leon. His eyes roamed over him as he carefully thought out the next sentence that was going to leave his mouth. "If I don't get my memories back.." he let that thought linger. There was always a chance that he wouldn't get them back. He wanted to be prepared for that. "I want to get to know you again." He was practically asking Leon out. To be his again.

Abigail didn't think that Casteel would actually respond. She was semi expecting him to ignore the question completely and go in complete detail about the plan to save Cordelia. Instead he stood up and showed his back to them. Then she saw his wine colored wings expand. They were much bigger than the ones Aidan had and much softer looking. She reached out and stroked one of them. They were so nice. That got her thinking about herself. Aidan had wings because he was an angel. Casteel had wings because he was a natural born God. But what about Abigail. She was a human turned God. What would her wings look like? In the stories the color of her wings would reflect her personality. But this wasn't exactly a fairytale. Mr. Perfect turned back around and she just blushed. She was way to fascinated by his wings and it was evident. Then without even knowing it, Abigail started glowing. Her skin a bright florescent color. The immortal power and energy had finally merged with her, making her a full fledged God. Her eyes grew wide and she just watched the glow fade away. "Wait..what happened?"

---

---

Roman was expecting Leon to jump for joy when he said that he wanted to start over with Leon. But instead he just encouraged the new angel to start over. To build his life over again without Leon. That was honestly heart breaking. Roman may have lost his memories, but he didn't lose feelings. It would be easier to start over if his heart didn't belong to another. And even though, Roman didn't know the person his heart belonged too he wanted to get to know him. He wanted to know why his heart had chosen Leon in the first place. Right now he was getting an idea. "I don't want to be on my own, Leon." he started to explain. "I may have lost memories, but I still feel for you. I can't just up and leave, pretending I don't care about you."

Abigail seemed to be the only person freaking out about what had just happened. Casteel seemed pleased while Aidan was a tad jealous. What was supposed to happen? Did she get wings? Magical powers? Ability to answer prayers? There were so many things she didn't know about being a higher celestial being. And here she was. A goddess. Maybe she could ask Mr. Perfect questions later. Cas asked to see her wings, but she didn't even know how to get them out. She looked at Cas and then at her back. She was just hoping they would appear. Shutting her eyes tight, she thought about releasing the wings that were folded up in her back. Slowly, a pair of light pink colored wings appeared. They were a bit smaller than Cas' but still bigger than her brothers. The color resembled what her face usually looked like when she was around Cas. That made her blush. She didn't want o flap them since she was afraid they would make her take off. "I'm a goddess.." she muttered running her fingers through her own wings. Just then a council member along with another angel walked in. "Your father would like to see you now, Casteel."

---

---

Leon was pushing him away. Roman knew that. It was obvious despite the memories he was missing. "I know you don't remember this but…I always end up hurting you. Somehow…I don't mean to, but I can't help it. I don't know how to show that I love someone like you do-" Leon loved him and he was pushing him away. Roman never had to deal with someone so confusing. At least as far as he knew. Leon was the most confusing. Roman didn't want to leave. He didn't want to find someone else. Roman didn't want to rediscover himself and fall in love again. He was in love. He just needed to take the time to remember who he was in love. "Stop pushing me away Leon. I am not going to just find someone else. That isn't how love works." Roman was scolding Leon while confessing his feelings. "You are just going to have to deal with me. I'm not leaving you." He refrained from saying again. Since technically, Roman did leave him when he lost his memories.

Everyone else seemed just as fascinated with her wings as she was. Or they were just amused by her reaction to her new accessory. The two council member and angel though were not pleased. Or at least one of them looked annoyed while the other didn't really have an emotional expression. They were waiting for Casteel to join his father. Abby was expecting, and hoping, to be left behind. The last time she saw Mr. Perfect's father, had been at the banquet. They were not pleased with each other. In fact, his father scared her just a tad. But Cas took hold of her hand and whisked her off towards the devil in disguise. Aidan followed closely behind. Even being with the two men she trusted the most, she still feared for her life. As they walked into the ballroom, Abby finally put her wings away. It took her a moment to figure out how to do that. Now she felt like she had that technique down. Next was flying. And then how to answer prayers. One person was standing there by himself and she felt her boyfriend squeeze her hand. Immediately she coward behind Cas, still holding his hand tight. His father's apathetic face intimidated her. By the tension forming in the room, it was clear that something bad was about to happen.

---

---

They made eye contact and Leon gave Roman a warning. A warning that he should probably listen too. Because of the angel, they were on the run. Roman had his memories taken and forced to be a creature that he particularly didn't want to be. In fact, everything in his life was near perfect up until he decided to pursue Leon. But Roman didn't care. He didn't care at all. Just to have Leon was more than enough for him. Even without the memories. He knew that this is where he wanted to be and he wouldn't give it up for anything in the world. "You are worth the trouble." he assured Leon. Roman wanted him to stop pushing him away now. So to get Leon to stop talking, he just pulled the smaller boy into an embrace. Roman hugged him tight. Might as well since they were going to stay together. Essentially this was to seal the deal.

Abigail was afraid to move or say anything. She squeezed Cas' hand practically hid behind him. The head council man asked if she was ready more people filed into the room. They had to be other council members. They all resembled the main one. She nodded when he stated her name. Her face was a completely red. Just from the attention that was on her. "Do you understand the powers that have been awarded to you?" Awarded? She was awarded with divinity. It was either this or death. So awarded or otherwise, its not like she really had a choice. But she honestly had no idea what power she was really given. And she would have asked them to explain if she didn't choke on her words. So she just remained red. Nodding slightly, she moved even closer to Casteel. She would just ask Cas to teach her. He is much easier to talk to than his father.

---

---

Roman kept his tight hold on Leon. It felt nice to hold someone that he cared about. What was making this weird was that, only one of them knew why they fell in love. But Roman was fine to go along for the ride. It was a soothing feeling. Leon thanked him and he smiled softly, stroking his back. "You're welcome." They remained silent, holding each other. Waiting for whatever savior Leon has called.

Abigail thought her face was going to explode. Even thought both Cas and Aidan were there for her, she felt like she was completely alone. Like she was standing there being judged by people that scared her to the bones. The head of the Gods was trying to reassure the new God that they would help her, but it didn't make her feel better. If Cas told her that, she would be a little less red. But Cas seemed like he was trying not to explode himself. Abigail wanted to just go home. She wanted to embrace her new abilities without these immortal beings around. But that wouldn't be the case. The head council man took her hand and pulled away from her boyfriend and her family. Her body was practically trembling. She couldn't look him in the eye. He walked by her and then she was bombarded with other Council members. They all seemed to be trying to examine her and explain at the same time. If she could create a force field, she would. They weren't touching her, but she felt like they were. Stripping away her layers with their eyes and questions. "I did as you asked, now it's your turn". She turned to look at Cas. "H-h-his turn f-for what?" She called out. It is the only thing she has manage to say since she stepped into the ballroom.

---

---

Roman let the silence linger between them. He didn't know what else to say at the moment. Just holding Leon felt a bit wrong. Like he shouldn't be doing this. Like he wasn't worthy of claiming the angel since he didn't know him. But Roman didn't really care. He wanted to embrace what was supposed to be his. And he was going to enjoy every second of him. When Leon spot up, it was in the form of an apology. At first Roman was going to have him explain, but Leon did that all on his own. And Roman frowned a bit. Those words actually hurt him and if Leon was anyone else, he might have snapped. Leon explained further, but then just trailed off. "It's fine. I am a big boy. I can handle a few insults." Roman said, trying to play off the pain. He even smiled a tad.

Abigail did not appreciate being ignored. Especially because her boyfriend acknowledged her. She would understand if that was a on a need to know basis, but they didn't have to just blatantly ignore her the way they did. She just looked down at the ground and tried to get the other Gods away from her. They were just too much at the moment and it was quite overwhelming. It was as if they had never see a newly created god before. It didn't help that she was the only female on the council. Well as far as she could see. "We will execute you in front of the angels and the council so that they may learn the lesson" Abigail snapped her head back in Cas's direction. Execute? They were going to execute her boyfriend. In front of everyone. Just like that. Her eyes grew wide as she made eye contact with Casteel. No they couldn't. "N-NO! You can't!" She started to make her way back towards him, but the other council members took hold of her. Pulling her away from the the two. Tears started to stream down her face. "Let me go! Cas!" The Council members were pulling her in the other direction. They didn't want her to interfere.

---

---

Roman could understand why Leon felt that way. One moment they were together and the next Roman was arresting him. It clearly looked like the new angel was using this poor broken person. He was going to reassure Leon for the second time but he was cut off. " Oh and….i don't hate you. I could never hate you…." That actually made Leon feel so much better. He smiled and continued to hold the younger male up until he broke from the hug. "why don't I show you how to come to a stop without falling on top if me?" Roman raised an eyebrow. "I kind of liked falling on you." He teased, but subtlety agreeing. "Alright. I am reading for Landing 101" Roman brought his wings back out to prove his point.

Abigail wanted the council to let her go. She wanted them to let go of her boyfriend. But they clearly didn't care about what they wanted. Abby made eye contact with Cas another time and he looked just as sad as she did. The new God knew she couldn't keep fighting the Council. They were still stronger than her since she was just getting into her divinity. But she wanted to fight. She wanted to keep fighting. Aidan couldn't even get to her. They would kill her boyfriend and she would officially be alone. But she saw Casteel fight the two council members that had him. Abigail sad expression quickly changed to one of concern and minor joy. He was going to do something about his execution. The council that were holding her, released her. They started heading over to the head councilman and his son. They clearly needed to help with that situation. Abigail dusted herself off and watched Cas. There was nothing she could do at the moment. Not that Aidan would let her run in there and get hurt.

---

---

Roman was going to take a step off the cliff, but Leon told him to just watch. He nodded in agreement and watched the younger angel fly around. It was very graceful. Leon's feathers ruffled in the wind and Roman couldn't help, but be intrigued. He watched the flawless landing. There was no way Roman was going to be able to land like that. ”Simple” Roman scoffed. That was easy for Leon to say. He had his wings much longer than the older male. Roman got his earlier that day. He was going to need more than a five minute to get his landing down. But he trusted Leon. Roman expanded his wings and walked right off the edge. His wings easily caught the wind and Roman was soaring. It was nice to just fly around for a moment. But now it was time to land again. He headed back for the cave entrance at a ridiculous speed. When he was close enough he adjusted so that his feet would touch the ground. He flapped his wings slower, but he was still coming in way to fast. He got his left foot to touch, but he missed his right footing. Tumbling, again, he rolled right into the back wall with a thud. "Simple."

Abigail was confused, upset, scared, and hopeful all at the same time. Her brother came running over to her and she managed to pull her gaze off of Mr. Perfect. He asked if she was okay and she couldn't really answer. To keep Aidan from getting worried though she nodded as he was examining her. Abby ran her fingers through her brown hair and immediately felt comforted by the kiss pressed to her forehead. But when Aidan left her side to get in the middle of the divinity battle her face paled. She could lost two people she cared about and Abigail wouldn't have been able to do anything about. Quickly, she looked around for a weapon of some kind. She just wanted to get some of the council members off her brother. Cas could handle his father. But Aidan couldn't handle Gods. SHe came up empty on the weapon part, but she was determined to help. Abby headed over to the council members surrounding her brother and she kicked one right in between the legs. It dropped to the ground and she jumped on another ones back. She started beating it in the head. With her new strength, she was actually casing the council member pain. "Leave me brother alone!" she screamed. The confused God she was on was trying to pull her off, but she had a strong grip.

---

---

Roman groaned a little as he tried to sit back up. He wasn't expecting to his the wall so hard. He would have much rather have fallen on Leon. Much softer landing. But Leon insisted on teaching him the landing technique. Not that Roman minded, much. He could hear his instructor chuckling and Roman glared playfully. "I'm fine. But I would have much rather fallen on you." Roman said, taking Leon's hand to stand up. Leon offered to fly with him to help him land and Roman agreed. That sounded like a better plan. He wasn't a baby bird he could just push out of the nest. Roman has no instinct of flight. This was going to be taught. Roman kept hold of Leon's hand and went back to the edge, getting read to walk off the edge.
