After a few introductions, the boys took Dani to their motel room.

"We should probably head back to the bunker tomorrow," Dean said, looking at Sam.

Sam and Castiel agreed.

Dani was hesitant, but decided to stick around.

Dean plopped himself on a bed.

Sam said, "Why don't you take a shower and go to bed? I'll take the couch."

Dani shook her head, "I couldn't take your bed, Sam. I'll sleep on the couch. After I take a shower,".

Sam opened his mouth to argue, but Dani raised her hand, silencing him.

Sam sighed, "I'll wait till you're done with your shower so Cas and I can fix up your wings as best we can," Sam relented.

Dani nodded tiredly and moved into the bathroom, with her bag slung over her shoulder.

Cas was awkwardly standing in the middle of the room when Dani shut the door.

Dani placed her bag on the counter by the sink, pulling out a pair of shorts and a hoodie.

She started the water, adjusting it to a warm temperature before taking off her clothes, tossing them carelessly on the floor.

She tossed a towel on the counter next to her clothes.

She washed her hair and body, carefully avoiding getting soap in her wounds.

She was also careful to not get any water in her feathers. It made her wings extremely heavy and uncomfortable.

When she was done, she climbed out of the shower and turned the water off. She

dried herself off, she pulled on her clothes, putting the dirty ones in her bag and grabbed her crutches and left the bathroom.

Sam looked up when she left the bathroom making her way to the couch.

Dani laid on her stomach, her wings acting as blankets.

Castiel stood up and crouched by Dani, who was already asleep.

He extended a hand and grimaced as he touched the dried blood that made streaks down her dark ashen gray wings, taking the shine away where ever the blood was.

Castiel quietly asked, "Sam can you get me a bowl of water and a small towel?"

"Yeah, I'll go get it," Sam replied, making his way to the bathroom.

A few moments later, Sam returned and gave Cas the bowl of water and small rag.

Cas dipped the rag in the water, wrung out the towel before gently wiping it on her wings. "Sam you can sleep, I will watch over her."

Sam nodded, "You can't heal her?"

Cas shook his head, "There is a high chance that they would heal incorrectly. We aren't meant to heal feathers."

Sam nodded again and crawled under the blankets in his bed and went to sleep.

Cas continued gently wiping Dani's wings until she woke up about five hours later.

Her eyes fluttered open and she felt a cool soft material lightly petting her wings.

She startled slightly when she heard Cas say, "My apologies Dani, I did not mean to wake you."

Dani whispered, "You didn't wake me, I never get much sleep."

Cas squinted and tilted his head in confusion, Dani sighed and snuggled back into the couch.

Dean woke up a few minutes later, he glanced over at Cas, then over at Sam.

He grabbed a pillow and threw it at Sam, causing him to shoot upright in his bed.

He glared at Dean while Dani pushed herself up.

Dani gave a quiet, "Thanks," to Cas before trying to pull herself to her feet.

Cas gave a small smile helping her steady herself on her feet.

Dean said, "I'm gonna go pack baby, be ready in five."

Sam padded into the bathroom closing the door with a set of clothes.

Dani grabbed her bag and put a brush through her hair. She limped over to the kitchen sink to start brushing her teeth.

As she leaned over the sink to get a mouthful of water, Sam opened the bathroom door.

He looked at her with a small chuckle and said, "Bathrooms all yours Dani,".

She shook her head, "Not like I'm doing anything today I'll just go in these," she answered quietly.

Sam nodded before Dean opened the door and said, "Let's roll, Kevin's probably 'forgetting' to eat again."

After they all piled in the Impala, Sam riding shotgun with Dean driving and Dani and Cas sitting in the back.

Dean asked, "Cas buddy not that I don't appreciate your company, but what are you still doing here?"

Cas looked at his lap and started playing with his fingers and said, "I wanted to watch over Dani, I do not think you know how to take care of her wings." He practically whispered the last part.

Dean made an indifferent face, "Okay then. Well, on the road again Sammy."

After hours of Dean's horrible singing, they finally pulled up to the outside of an abandoned looking building.

Dean pulled up the outside of, what Dani guessed, was a garage.

It opened as Dean drove down and parked in an empty space. Sam and Dean opened their car doors in sync as Dani pulled herself out leaning against the car door.

Cas had offered to heal her in the car, but Dani politely declined saying it was nothing.

Cas had Dani's bag in one hand while trailing behind Sam and Dean to a door, Dani quickly grabbed her crutches and followed in pursuit.

Sam opened the door and yelled, "Kevin?! We're home!"

Dani looked around the bunker in awe at how gorgeous it looked on the inside.

An Asian boy Dani guessed was Kevin, he looked pure exhausted, Kevin yawned and asked, "Who's she?"

Dani was half hidden behind Cas.

Dean looked back at her and said, "That's Dani, she's gonna be living with us for a while."

Kevin nodded and said, "I'm Kevin," he yawned again, "Tran. Welcome to the bunker I guess."
