"Please," Dean begs, broken-voiced, on his knees, bleeding out into the soot-stained snow. "Please, for me.  It's the last thing I'll ever ask."

 

Jimmy Novak is dead, burned away by Castiel's pure light.  Bobby Singer is somewhere beyond the next hill, also dead, and most of the hunter army with him. 

 

But Dean still lives, for the moment.  Castiel knows that he is weakening by the second, only his will keeping him alive.  The same defiant will that allowed him to survive in Hell, to still have enough of Dean Winchester in him to be shoved back into that rotting corpse is all that has him breathing still.

 

Dean still lives, and his hands clutching his brother keep Sam alive as well.

 

"Please," Dean sobs, body slumping down, falling onto Sam.  "Please."

 

Castiel stoops, the only angel here.  All the rest finish Father's work, expelling or destroying demons.  This man, Dean Winchester—he and his brother have broken Lucifer into a dozen pieces and scattered him among the stars.  It will be an eternity before he returns, if he ever does. 

 

He places his hands on Dean, channeling everything he is, was, or ever will be into this man, the one who saved existence from Lucifer's claws.

 

Through Dean, Sam Winchester is purged as well, and they erupt in incandescent light.
