Chapter Text
"Dean!" I heard Bobby yell.
With a sigh, I pushed my chair out from my desk and stood. Pain shot through my head and I rubbed my temples.
"Jesus Christ." I muttered.
"Well that's what you get for staying out drinking all night, Lieutenant." My brother, Sam, said condescendingly.
"Shut up, Sammy." I said
I heard him chuckle as he dug his nose back into whatever case Detective Sam Winchester was given.
Nerd.
I walked up the steps to Bobby's office and ripped open the glass door
"Ya trying to break my door, idjit?" Bobby Said looking up at me.
I smiled to see Bobby still refused to dress professional even after promoted to Captain. I swear he was a trucker if he wasn't sitting behind that desk with a #1 Boss mug.
"Yep. You know me Bobby." I said with a shrug as I sat my ass in a chair.
"Yeah, well enough to know you were out drinking at another bar again. Boy this has gotta stop." He said.
I rolled my eyes and looked at the ceiling.
"I'm serious now. I know that the thing with Lisa and Ben hasn't been easy on ya, but you need t suck it up and get over it."
"Don't you dare. You don't know shit." I said through gritted teeth
"Boy I know enough! I know enough that I'm not going to watch you become your father. After your mother died and your dad was drinking all the time. I basically watched over you boys full time."
I rubbed a hand over my face.
"Sorry Bobby." I muttered
"Dean, you're strong. you'll get over this. Now, we've had an uproar in android cases. Imma send some to your terminal and i want you working on them along with the homicide cases." He finally said with a shooing motion.
"Okay Bobby, I'll try."
I stood and left his office to see one of our older co workers harassing Sam.
"Fucking Azazel." I muttered.
i jogged over to Sam's desk.
"What's going on here?" I asked
Azazel and Sam both looked up at me.
"Oh Nothing, Right Sam?" Azazel said looking at Sam.
"Dean, he's bringing up my old Red Ice addiction again. Even pulled out some evidence to taunt me with." Sam said.
Azazel growled and i closed my hands into fists.
"Azazel, If you don't leave me and my brother alone from now on. I will kick you so hard in the balls, you'll feel them in your mouth. Do you understand?"
"I'd like to see you try. Like Daddy Like Son Right?" He said getting up in my face.
I was about to swing til I heard Bobby yell.
"Break it up ya two!"
I spun around to look up at Bobby.
"Revoke his evidence locker key." I said as i turned to check on Sam.
Bobby had Azazel go to his office.
"Hey, You good?" I asked with a hand on his shoulder. He looked up at me with those sad puppy dog eyes.
"Yeah..."
"It wasn't your fault ya know?" I muttered.
"Yeah, I'm aware. I wish we could find the guy who forced me on it to begin with." He said.
"I wish we could find the intruder from that night too Sam. Let's just focus on the right now okay?" I said
He nodded and i patted his shoulder before going to my own desk.
When I was 4 years old, someone broke into our house. They fed 6 month old Sammy some red ice and killed my mom. The intruder was never found. Dad went crazy looking for the guy. When he wasn't drinking, He was looking into red ice dealers and circles. Ended up getting himself killed by red ice dealers. I managed to stop the ones that killed Dad. The whole ring went down and I made tons of headlines for it. Even became Lieutenant. One of the youngest ones in Detroit.
I sat at my desk and started working. If I'm going to get anything done today, I gotta start working.

I sat at the bar at Jimmy's. There isn't a pool table in this bar or any ladies really. Jimmy is a good guy though so I come here a lot.
The Detroit Gears were playing on TV. I looked up every now an again but I just sulked in my whiskey.
"Lieutenant Winchester. My name is Castiel. I'm the android sent by Cyberlife." I heard a voice next to me say. I turned my head to see an android standing there staring at me.
He had dark messy hair and inhuman blue eyes. He was a goofy looking one. He had an android uniform on but his trench coat had his model number and armband.
He was apparently still talking. Apparently he was my new partner and there is a case. I continued nursing my drink until I saw a hand grab my drink and pour out my drink.
"What the fuck!?" I yelled.
"Lieutenant, I must insist." Castiel said emotionlessly.
I glared at him and he stared right back at me. Grumbling, I threw some money on the bar and walked out the door.
I turned to the parking lot to see my 1967 Chevy Impala under the moonlight. She looked beautiful.
"Hey Baby."
"Your car is not a human infant, Lieutenant." Castiel said
"It's Dean." I said. Cas tilted his head. The LED on his head circled yellow as he was thinking.
"Call me Dean, Cas."
"My name is Castiel, Dean."
We both sat down and i cranked up baby.
"Yeah, and I'm going to call you Cas."

We drove up to the house to see several news casters standing outside.
"Damn, the news is here already." I muttered.
I parked baby and got out the car. Forgetting I had a new partner, until I heard the door close. I look over to see Cas over there observing the scene. I roll my eye and walk up to the house. Ignoring the newscasters standing there.
I grabbed Cas's elbow and dragged him through the crowd. His LED went yellow and I assumed that he was looking at me.
I dragged him through the holographic police tape and let go of his elbow.
"Evening Dean. Started to think You weren't going to show." I heard Rufus say. I look up and he was walking towards me. His little earring moved back and forth as he came over.
"That was the plan before this asshole found me." I said gesturing to Cas.
"I am an android not a-"
"You've got yourself an android." Rufus said
"No, it's not what you're thinking Rufus."
Rufus put his hands up in mock surrender with a smirk on his face.
"Hey Boy, You're basically Bobby's kid. You can have that talk with him. I ain't gonna judge ya." Rufus said chuckling.
"My god. Rufus, Shut the hell up." I dragged a hand down my face, ignoring the warmth to it. I was not blushing, damn it!
Rufus finally got serious and we went into the house,
"Victim wasn't paying his rent so the landlord came over to check on him. Neighbors say he was a loner and never really left his house."
I listened to the brief for awhile til eventually Rufus had to go get some air. I noticed Castiel going around solving the case inside his little android brain. I rolled my eyes and leaned up against the wall.
It has to have been an android, because of the bloody words. Hell, even the font screamed android.
Castiel came up to me.
"What's the word, Cas?" I asked.
His LED went yellow.
"It is a shortened version of my name." He said.
I looked him in the eye. Is this dude serious? Abbreviations? Nicknames aren't a thing up there?
After our staring contest, i looked over at the body.
"Yeah, Uh... Whatcha got?" I asked instead.
"I believe I solved the case." Cas said.
"Okay, Lay it on me."
"It all started in the kitchen..."
Cas went through explaining the case perfectly. How this Asmodeus guy died.
"Okay, Your theory's not totally ridiculous but it doesn't explain where his android went."
That was the bit, I wasn't understanding. I was starting to think that he had a spare key and locked the door on the way out.
"It was damaged by the bat and lost thirium."
I looked at him in confusion. When he looked up from Asmodeus's corpse he stared me in my eyes. A shiver ran up my spine. Those eyes stared right into my soul.
"You guys call it blue blood. It evaporates after a few hours." Cas said.
"But you and your special robot eyes can still see it can't you."
"Correct." He said,
He stared into my eyes for a few more seconds before looking around on the ground.
I followed behind him carefully until he got to the kitchen. I looked around for possible exits in this room
I saw Cas walk into the kitchen and grab a chair.
"Hey Hey, what're you doing with the chair?"
The android stared at me with what seemed like a glare.
"I'm going to check something." He said as-matter-of-factually.
I repeated what he said mockingly and followed him down the hallway. He crawled up into the attic with a whoosh of his trench coat he was gone.
Mother fucker, there was an attic? Why was no one searching the attic.
"Cas?! What's going on up there?" I said getting ready to jump up there.
"It's here, Dean!" I heard Cas's muffled voice say.
it took a minute to realize what he said.
"Holy shit. Rufus! Get your ass in here!" I yelled.
