[Jed doesn't have a better option. He's been staring at the problem for so long, he feels like he can't find his way out the other side.
"I don't know. ... I don't know."
In the meantime, Castiel turns and walks into the building. Aiden jogs enough to catch up with him, falling into step behind the angel and keeping his eyes peeled for any sign of trouble. The angel just keeps moving forward, almost as though he's out for a stroll.]
I believe we have to go to the next level.
[And he'll just reach out for both of their shoulders as he goes to take them down to the next floor in the blink of an eye. He just so happens to land them outside of the cells holding Josh and Jed.]
("Short of triggering your werewolf curse and waiting for the full moon, I don't either," he admits. Turning back to the door, he drags fingers along the small window, makes a fist and punches. His fist goes right through, glass shattering around it and out the other side. Shaking off the glass, he immediately starts to heal, the other bits of glass being pushed out of his healing wounds.
"Well. I did... that."
Did it help?
Inside the facility, an elevator ride up, Chris holds the door open for Aiden and takes up the rear.
Castiel is nonchalant, very not how an angel might be in Chris' eyes, but something tells him he's got this.
In a blink, they're one level down. In the hallway, there are doors, one with a broken window Josh is standing by and one with an intact window - with Jed inside his side of the cell.
"Woah," Josh says. "Is he good backup?"
Did he do that?
Chris gets a crit fail at keeping it together after being telported on a whim and he doesn't move. He's still processing. Don't mind him. )
[Aiden is fine (11), probably because he was immediately distracted by his husband's face and he makes his way over to the door to try and figure out if he can get it open.]
He's looking for Sam. Says he's an Angel of the Lord.
[His tone is fairly neutral, for how ridiculous that sounds.
Castiel looks over at a description that resembles him and nods. "My name is Castiel."
Aiden nods at the introduction before trying to look Josh over through the window.]
[Aiden studies the setup, before glancing back at Castiel.]
Any chance that angel powerset comes with hacking abilities?
[Castiel tips his head to the side, before he blinks from view again, and suddenly he's inside the cage with Josh. He reaches his hand through the bars to place a hand on Jed's shoulder (the electricity doesn't seem to bother him), before placing the other on Josh's and they blink out of view before reappearing in the hallway.
Jed is fine, blinking around as he adjusts to the hallway (16). "That's ... thank you?"
( Excuse Josh, because he turns around and promptly throws up. That's a trip.
"Sam was sucked into the ground like everyone else. I bet they're still there," Chris says, hoping that Castiel would know if Sam were dead. He can feel his presence, he assumes.
He trails the hallway to the end and opens a door to stairs going up and going down.
"Might be a tunnel at the end of these," he offers. )
( It's fine, he waves his husband off, wipes his mouth with his sleeve. He's okay.
"Sure kid," Chris says, not caring either way.
The elevator comes to life as Josh stands back up, stomach settling. )
You guys go. Aiden and I will take care of whoever's coming down. We'll be right behind you. Promise. Go find Ben and Sam. Tell Davina we're not far behind.
[Jed is about to question leaving the two of them alone, but Aiden's eyes are already glowing gold, and Jed hears the familiar crack of an oncoming shift and decides that Josh knows what he's talking about.]
Right. Got it. Be careful.
[And with that he will continue following Chris and the angel down through the tunnels.]
( Moving quickly, they make it closer and closer, Sam's soul shining brighter to Cas. Chris keeps his gun drawn, listening for anything. Castiel, he, and Jed catch the echo of the current conversation around the corner:

Are you alright?

( But not the point. )
Jed's in here, too.
( He steps out of the way so Aiden can see him through the bars. )
They used a key card when they dropped me off in here.

I can sense him, but I can't reach him.
[So they'll have to find their way down the old fashioned way. He glances over at Aiden.]
Perhaps you could still track by scent?
[Aiden is busy rubbing his husband's back, making sure he's alright, before glancing back to the angel. "I can try? No promises though."
"I'm coming with you." Jed moves after Chris, trying to make himself useful. "I'm not leaving without Ben."]

Do you... feel Sam?

I'm very familiar with his soul. Something is preventing me from going directly to him, but he's in this direction.
[Castiel points in the correct direction, continuing to move forward and assuming that Chris and Jed are following.]
