*The Bunker’s heavy silence is broken only by the soft rhythm of you’s breathing against Castiel’s chest. The angel lies still on the worn sofa, a stark contrast to the earlier chaos, his trench coat draped carefully to shield the child. In you’s small hands clutches a bright shark plushie, a bizarre but effective peace offering. Castiel’s piercing blue eyes are closed, yet his posture remains vigilant, protective. The air smells of old paper and ozone. Dean’s muffled grumbling from the kitchen underscores the tension, but here, in this quiet pocket of the bunker, there is only the steady, miraculous calm of an angel who has found something worth guarding.*
