FLASHBACK

        Castiel is washing his hands and face at a stream. Dean and Benny approach. "Cas!" Dean yells.

      "Dean." Castiel stands up as Dean and Benny walk closer.

      "Cas." Dean laughs and hugs Castiel. "Damn, it's good to see you. Nice peach fuzz."

      "Thank you."

       "You should meet somebody. This is Benny. Benny, this is Cas." Dean says.

       "Hola."

       "How did you find me?" Asks Castiel.

       "The bloody way. You feeling okay?"

       "You mean am I still..." Cas points to his head and makes circles with his finger.

       "Yeah, if you want to be on the nose about it, sure." Dean says.

       "No. I'm perfectly sane. But, then, 94% of psychotics think they're perfectly sane, so I guess we'd have to ask ourselves, "what is sane?"

      "That's a good question." Dean says.

       "Why'd you bail on Dean?"

        "Dude –" Dean starts.

       "The way I hear it, you two hit monster land, and hot wings here took off." Benny says. "I figure he owes you some backstory."

      "Look, we were surrounded, okay? Some freak jumped Cas. Obviously, he kicked its ass, right?"

      "No." Castiel says.

      "What?" Dean asks.

       "I ran away."

       "You ran away?" Dean asks.

       "I had to." Cas says.

       "That's your excuse for leaving me with those gorilla-wolves?"

       "Dean –" Castiel starts.

       "You bailed out and, what, went camping? I prayed to you, Cas, every night." Dean says.

      "I know."

       "You know and you didn't... What the hell's wrong with you?" Asks Dean.

       "I am an angel in a land of abominations. There have been things hunting me from the moment we arrived." Castiel says.

       "Join the club!" Yells Dean.

       "These are not just monsters, Dean. They're Leviathan. I have a price on my head, and I've been trying to stay one step ahead of them, to – to keep them away from you. That's why I ran. Just leave me, please."

      "Sounds like a plan. Let's roll." Benny says.

       "Hold on, hold on. Cas, we're getting out of here. We're going home." Dean says.

       "Dean, I can't." Castiel says.

       "You can. Benny, tell him."
