Cas fell to the floor, unconscious. Dean immediately ran over yelling his name.

"Oh dear, is he dead?" Crowley asked without a trace of concern.

"Shut up, Crowley!" Dean shouted. "Cas! You're fine, man, just wake up!" Cas still didn't move so Dean picked him up and carried him to the house.

"What the hell…" Sam asked.

"Just help, okay?" Dean answered. Sam did and they got Cas to the couch. "He just passed out, I think he needs rest. Right?" Dean hoped but he wasn't sure.

Sam and Charlie couldn't really offer reassuring words because they didn't know if Cas just overdid it or if it was something worse.

"Look, I need to get back to Crowley. Keep an eye on Cas and get me when he wakes up, okay?" Dean said with worry. He was being optimistic and Sam wasn't going to mention that "when" might not be the right word. To not make his brother feel worse, Sam just nodded.

After a long look at Cas, Dean headed back to the garage.

"So, is he going to make it? I'm worried," Crowley said with the same lack of emotion as Dean walked back in.

"Shut up," Dean spat. "Why did you think Cas knew about the project?"

"I can't tell you, you just told me to shut up."

"Which you're not doing anyways so I figured you could at least tell me something I want to hear and not waste my time."

"I told you, I thought he would know. Usually, people in his position know about the project."

"So, it's something that involves Russia and the US. Double agents?"

Crowley didn't say anything. Dean took that as confirmation.

"You're kidding me. You and Alastair are moles and probably Meg and Ruby, too? I'm honestly not surprised. You all are power hungry dicks who will go anywhere there's power or money."

Crowley still didn't say anything to confirm or deny Dean's accusations. It seemed to all be coming together. As far as Dean could tell, it made sense. Those four were snakes willing to do whatever they thought would help them achieve their means so this wasn't shocking if it was true.

"What about Bobby? I know he wasn't part of this. Did he find out? So you killed him?" Dean spoke quicker than his brain could catch up. The weight of his words slammed into him. "You killed him," Dean repeated.

"As I said, I didn't kill him. But, I know who did."

"Yeah, Dick Roman. Supposedly. But maybe he was acting under orders?"

"Not mine. Honestly. Alastair, he's the one in charge, he's the one you want. Dick was one of Russia's, their side of the project, okay? Alastair had him get rid of Bobby when he found out what we were doing," Crowley said in a rush.

"How do I know you're telling the truth? You could just be throwing Alastair under the bus for what you did."

"He's my boss, you know that. He's in charge of the Angel Project."

"Why should I trust anything you say?"

"God, no, don't. Don't trust anyone."

Dean needed a moment to let this sink in. Bobby was killed by a Russian spy and it was played off as a regular murder. Then, he helped arrest Dick Roman. Dean thought of something else.

"Why call it the Angel Project?"

"The double agents are basically heaven sent. Without them, neither side would get anything done," Crowley explained. Dean made a doubtful face. "Hey, I didn't name it."

"So, Cas and I are just caught up in this?"

"I thought he was a part of it and that I could get you to join. I was serious when I said you were a great agent. One of the best."

"Except you forget, I have a soul."

Crowley just shrugged, indifferent to the implication of being soulless.

"So, you knew about the plan to kill Bobby and you were a double agent, giving secrets to Russian intelligence? Same with Alastair, Meg and Ruby?"

Crowley didn't answer so Dean punched him in the face.

"Answer me!"

"Yes! I knew about it and gave away secrets, okay? But what does it matter, no one would believe you. It would be your word against mine. I would just say you're jealous I got promoted instead of you when Bobby died and you're trying to discredit me to get me fired and take my job."

"It's not going to be my word at all, yours is all that matters."

Crowley looked confused. Dean pulled his phone out of the front pocket of his white, button-up shirt from under his suit jacket.

"Did you get all of that, Rufus?" Dean said into the phone.

"Loud and clear. We're coming in," Rufus responded and hung up.

"See, when we had Garth cover for why you would be missing for a while, we also had him get in touch with Rufus from the FBI. Before I came back in after Cas passed out, I called Rufus. His team should be in any minute to take you away from a long, long time," Dean explained with a triumphant smirk.

Crowley looked downright murderous as Rufus and a team of FBI agents stormed in to grab him.

"Thanks, Rufus."

"My pleasure, Dean. Good to see you," Rufus said with a handshake to Dean as Crowley was hauled out.

Rufus left with his team and Dean headed to the house to check on Cas.

He was sitting up on the couch. He was still pale and looked unsteady as he drank water. Sam and Charlie were in chairs next to the couch.

"Dean," Cas said, smiling and immediately his whole demeanor changed. He sat up straighter and radiated happiness just from Dean being in the room.

"Hey, Cas. It's good to see you're okay," Dean said as he sat on the couch next to him.

"What happened? There was a huge commotion outside, are you okay?" Cas asked with worry.

"Yeah, I'm fine. I'm great, actually. The commotion was the FBI. They arrested Crowley. It's over, Cas."


Two Months Later

Dean and Cas were relaxing with their closest friends in their D.C. apartment. Sam and Jess were there, along with Charlie, Gabriel, Ellen and Jo.

Sam and Jess had been dating since the first day they met and Dean honestly never saw his brother so happy. Sam had already confided in Dean he could see himself with Jess for the rest of his life.

Ellen and Jo felt a little better with the closure of arresting the people actually responsible for Bobby's murder. It wouldn't bring him back, but the justice felt good.

"More beer?" Dean asked. There was a chorus of "yes's" and he headed to the kitchen to grab some. Cas followed him.

"I thought you could use some help," Cas said once they were away from everyone else.

Dean raised his eyebrows.

"All right, maybe I just wanted to be alone with you," Cas said with a smile.

"That's what I thought," Dean smirked.

They forget the beers and the others as Dean pulled Cas in for a kiss. Cas wrapped his arms over Dean's shoulders to get closer and deepen the kiss.

It was getting more passionate until there were shouts from the other room.

"Hey, what are you guys doing in there?" Sam yelled.

"Beeeeer," came from Gabriel.

"Don't do anything I wouldn't do," Jo added.

"Oh, leave them alone, it's their damn apartment," Ellen said, defending the pair.

Dean and Cas broke the kiss and couldn't help laughing.

They brought the beers back into the living room and cuddled up again on the couch. After that round, it was getting late so everyone decided to head out. Sam and Jess were heading back to Sam's apartment, Ellen and Jo went home and Gabriel said he had a fun night planned for himself but they didn't ask details.

Gabriel and Cas had moved to the US permanently and were working on getting citizenship. Cas was even considering joining the CIA. Charlie had applied to transfer to D.C. and it was just about finalized but until then she was in a hotel nearby.

With Crowley and Alastair fired, there were some openings. Dean had been promoted to Crowley's job and someone who had been at Crowley's level was promoted to Alastair. His name was Zachariah and Dean hoped he wasn't a dick.

Finally, Dean and Cas had their apartment to themselves. They started making out on the couch right after they said their final goodbyes for the night.

Cas broke the kiss and stood up, getting off the couch.

"You always got to make me work for it, dontcha Cas?" Dean groaned.

"Of course," Cas said. Then he winked and added, "Catch me if you can," and ran down the hall to their bedroom.

Dean smiled and followed. He would chase Cas anywhere.

AN: I hope you enjoyed the story, it's been a blast writing it. Thank you for all of the positive feedback as this was my first fic and the support was very encouraging. Thanks for reading, the follows/favs and reviews!

This could have a sequel with Zachariah as the boss and Dean and Cas working in the CIA together, let me know what you think. Or maybe a prequel with more Dean chasing Cas from the beginning.

I already have some ideas for other fics so keep on the lookout if you like my writing.
