Status report: what the hell happened here in the last month? Casualties? What's the extent of the damage? Any retaliation missions planned?

[someone's definitely ready to go out and kick some UE butt for bombing his children. Oh and you other people.]

Missions. How many of you were sent on them, what were they, and with how many people?

[screened AWAY from the Winchester boys]

Is there a sketch artist on this network?

[screened to ~~Nicki~~ Meg]

Alive? Did he do anything?

[ No, he's not screwing with him. And yes, Dean will attest that at times, dealing with Castiel requires A LOT of patience. ]

I promised Dean that I would safeguard you from harm, and I meant it.

...Wanted for what?

[And unfortunately for both of them, patience is not one of John's merits.]

I don't need to be guarded, and I don't need your sabotage either.

[He sees no reason to answer that, he doesn't trust this asshole not to turn him in. But if he goes around asking then the law enforcers could actually pin him down. Not that it'd do them much good, but it would be a pain in the ass.]

Hunting.

I am not sabotaging anything.

[ Oh no. Castiel is almost afraid to ask. ]

You hunted one of the protected species -- another transport?

You're sabotaging my cover and it's not going to happen again

[Needless to say what would happen if he ever slips. It's a good thing Cas can't see the look of utter disgust on John's face right now. Protected species.]

I hunted a monster

Perhaps if you had the foresight to inform me sooner, I wouldn't have 'blown' it.

What kind of monster?

Let's get one thing straight here. I don't owe you anything. The only reason you're still breathing is that my son vouched for you but that will only take you so far. I don't know.

You are partially correct. However, the reason I am still alive is because you cannot.

[ But he digresses, back to the matter of hunting what someone doesn't know? Makes him wonder if his sons -- Sam, in particular -- might be able to teach their father a thing or two after all. ]

You fear retribution because you failed to hunt a monster you were ill prepared to face. I am prepared to help you, but I have obviously failed to earn your trust.

I apologize for taking your time.

[He really wants to strangle this guy.]

Don't bet on it.

[It was within five minutes of arrival of course he was freaking ill prepared. But he won't be next time, and he won't be when he faces him.]

I don't need your apologies. You stay the hell away from my sons.

[ Castiel can't promise that. He can -- easily -- avoid John Winchester. He may be on his short list of those he will actively protect, either as a deterrent or in an advisory capacity... but he can't stay away from his friends, his family, anymore than John could.

So he says nothing, and hopes that will be enough. ]

[For John? This means war.]
