I wouldn't go so far as to say a hypocrite. But perhaps a little inconsistent.

[cholesterol]

There's no handbook, Cas. This is how I was raised. Just because Elena Gilbert swims with vampires, doesn't mean I'm gonna take to the water like a friggin fish.

[toomuchheart]

Why does it matter what Elena Gilbert does? Do you plan to keep in touch after this is done?

[cholesterol]

I don't know. She's an old friend. I have friends. I keep friends.

[toomuchheart]

[The "...." comes and goes for several moments before:]

Of course you do.

[cholesterol]

Maybe. I might.

[toomuchheart]

Perhaps it's worth speaking to Elena about why she feels the way she does? If it's something you can't agree with, it might be better to find out now? For the sake of your friendship.

[cholesterol]

She's not reachable.

[toomuchheart]

Is she also in transition?

[Maybe not the best question, but things seem to have gone really bad while Cas wasn't paying attention.]

[cholesterol]

She's not dead, she's getting an MRI. Or, imaging whatever that crap is. They're checking her out.

[toomuchheart]

Do you need Jack or I to come help?

[cholesterol]

It's bad, Cas.

[toomuchheart]

We're on our way.

[Which will then be followed by a text to Jack:]

Dean needs you at the hospital.

[ergowwwd]

( school's over, but jack is still the kid who reads past midnight. he's awake when he gets his dad's text. )

What happened to Dean or Sam?

[toomuchheart]

Not them. Doctor Gilbert has been in an accident.

[To Dean she may be Elena but for Jack it's Doctor Gilbert.]

[ergowwwd]

I'm not supposed to leave school grounds. Are we still in danger?

[toomuchheart]

That I am not sure of. But I think if you come and heal her friend, Headmaster Forbes will excuse you for breaking the rules.

[Also Caroline is there, but Cas doesn't know that.]

[ergowwwd]

Should I meet you at your house, then?

[toomuchheart]

No, I will be at the school shortly, in case there is any conflict with the teachers.

[Hopefully Dean will tell people that he asked Cas to do this so there isn't any but just in case.]

[ergowwwd]

( Dean's still with Sam being calmed down.

There's no security at the Salvatore School, though, so Jack can move around easily. He pulls on his favorite Jacket and moves inconspicuously through the school.

Stepping out into the cool air, he waits carefully, his phone in hand. Waiting for one of his dads means he has time to text one of his other ones - Sam. )

What happened to Dr. Gilbert?

[imnot_likeyou]

She was in a really bad car accident. They're doing some imaging but they think she might have a head injury.

[ergowwwd]

Castiel is coming to pick me up. You need my help.

[imnot_likeyou]

Yeah, we could use it. Text us when you get here and we'll come get you.

[He has a feeling that that might help ease some of the tension.]

[ergowwwd]

We will. It will be good to see you and Dean.

[imnot_likeyou]

It'll be good to see you too, kid. And I promise we'll have you back in time for graduation.
