                                                 THIS SIDE OF HIS BROTHER IS SOMEWHAT NEW TO CASTIEL.   lucifer was cast out for rebelling,  for going against god     -     just as castiel did some thousand years later    -    and he’s paid the price since as humanity’s one true scapegoat.   and for years the former lightbringer didn’t seem to care all that much about it, ruling hell and being the punisher of sinners.       the seraph casts a sideways glance at the armani clad ex-archangel,  quietly mulling over the  question in his mind.     hands in the pockets of his trenchcoat he watch people milling to a fro below him on the street for a while before turning towards lucifer again.        “  because you are the original scapegoat.  humanity has been taught to blame everything bad on you ever since you fell.      father’s everlasting punishment,    if you will…  ”

the  space  station  was  supposed  to  be  lasting  until  radiation  cleared,     but  it  turned  out  some  wicked  twist  of  fate  brought  them  careening  to  earth,     anyway.      the  only  good  news  was  the  ground  being  survivable.   however,     grizz  couldn’t  say  he  was  pleased  by  the  experiment  that  lead  to  the  conclusion:      sending  people  there,      regardless  of  criminal  activity  or  not,     was cruel.      if  it  turned  out  the  air  was  still  toxic,    the  one  hundred  forced  explorers  would  have  been  killed  for  the  sake  of  buying  more  time  for  everyone  else.       he  didn’t  think  any  life  was  above  another      -     they  were  all  precious,     purposeful      -     but  he  was only  a  teenager,      his  ideas  were  unheard,     unimportant,      so  his  lips  remained  sealed.  

but  the  ground  came  with  more  complications  unforeseen    -    ones  that  left  him  aching  in  ways  he  couldn’t  approach.       his  heart  was  too  big  for  a  lifetime  of  wars  and  death,      but  grizz  had  no  choice  but  to  swallow  down  guilt  and  continue  on  the  rocky  path  of  the  future.     it’s  days  after  the  execution  of  a  boy  for  an  alliance  and  grizz  still  couldn’t  process  why  it  needed  to  be  done     -    or  how  he’d  managed  to  become  part  of  the  efforts  to  help  the  others  in  the  mountain.      he  blames  over - hearing  conversations  and  the  instinctive  disgust  he  felt  knowing  the  plan  had  been  to  cut  them  loose  without  care  for  what  became  of  them.
