based on my stoner roach hc, he somehow gets ghost and soap to smoke with him. (sneak it on base, go off base, on leave???) and ghost is fine because it's probably the least concerning thing he's ingested and soap gets high and scared(tm) because he's good catholic military boy who has done no wrong except a few violent assault charges so it turns into basically a cuddle sess and they watch spongebob on roach's fucked up phone and the moment soap sobers up he's like "We will never mention this to anyone."

Cas & Ray’s Timeline
@hi-im-cas & @virdityshattred
Before meeting Castiel, Rachael encountered the boys.  She was working on a story and uncovered details about a demon unbeknownst to her.  As she began to uncover more about this demon, two FBI agents approached her insisting she stop.  Rachael being the stubborn thing she is wouldn’t let it go.  It put a target on her but thankfully the then agents reveled the truth to her about the Supernatural and that they were really the Winchesters.
Learning what she did meant she could never just go back and pretend that it didn’t happen so she set out make a difference.  When she parted ways from the boys Sam gave her his number to act as her guide.  Within months she was a real hunter thanks to Sam talking her through things case by case.
Her attachment to the boys grew quickly and they would often work together when possible but things changed when Dean was drug to hell without even telling Rachael.  She grieved while working with Sam trying to find a way to save Dean.  Eventually Ray distanced herself from it losing hope to save Dean.
Months passed and as far as she knew nothing had changed till out of the blue she received a call from Sam needing her help.  Arriving she found both the boys alive and safe.  It was then the boys explained about Cas and the prophecy and everything.  It was a whole mix of emotions for Rachael but she had already decided she liked Cas because he saved Dean who at the time Rachael had a tiny crush on.
Of course Rachael didn’t stay with them for long.  some case later so unknowingly was working to find the same creature as Castiel.  When she went to find the creature she realizes she was too late.  The creature laid dead and Cas was there injured.  Ray approached him and soon realized this was THE Castiel.  She was very excited to meet him at last and invited him to stay with her but he wasn’t sure.  Instead he took her number but texted her that night.  Eventually she convinced him to stay with her.
The following weeks Cas found himself tagging along on her hunts to make sure she would be safe leaving occasionally for the Winchesters or heaven.  Somewhere in that time there was a noticeable change in the angel. He had a strange tightness in his chest whenever around the redhead and even greater difficult expressing himself.  He wasn’t aware of it at the time but it was the beginning of the end for him.
Ray assisted as much as possible trying to prevent Lucifer from coming but eventually it happens leaving them to deal with a lot.  During the time of dealing with Famine Rachael was hit with the desire to be with Castiel.  It was very hard to control but because of everything going on he hadn’t noticed which was a relief because she hadn’t been ready to deal with that just yet.
Everything ended in a mess.  The boys fell apart and they lost so many friends.  When the boys leave Rachael knows that they probably won’t come back.  She insists on going but they don’t think it’s best. She stays behind but eventually she shows up just as the Sam falls into the cage.  For a split second she loses it but then Dean is okay and Cas is there.  She spends a lot of time crying with dean.  Eventually they end up at Bobby’s before dean leaves without a word or explanation.
Ray has a moment where she questions if this is what she wants with her life but she decides that she wants to keep going because of Cas and all the things she believes in.  When Sam comes back she is determined that she made the right choice.  Because of everything she begins working closely with Sam but Cas knows what a danger it is and confronts Rachael.  When he tells her what happens she promises him that they will fix it.  She agrees to stay with Sam while Cas works throw things.
The boys come back together eventually so they can work together but they continue to keep dean in the dark at first.  Perhaps it’s guilt for Cas but Ray won’t betray him so she just has to wait. As time goes on they encounter Meg and she and Cas share a kiss.  It upset Rachael and this is the first time she yells at Cas.  In jealousy and frustration she storms off putting herself into danger.
Ray ends up being attacked and possessed by a demon leaving the boys to have to take care of it because Castiel can’t hurt ray so it’s mostly put on the boys.  Right after this Dean insists on her anti-possession tattoo.
The weeks following the kiss Ray is on edge a lot.  Favoring Dean over Cas because she is so hurt.  It isn’t till they encounter Balth that things shift.  Balth notices how Castiel is with Rachael.  That protectiveness and how he wraps his wings around her when she is near.  He takes it upon himself to test cas’ feelings going as far as to flirt with Rachael.  It upsets Cas a lot telling Balthazar what he needs to know.  He encourages cas to make a move but when he doesn’t Balth picks a fight with him. Ray jumps to Cas’ defense and that’s when Cas attempts to give her a river rock he has kept since the dawn of time.  Ray finds it strange but accepts the gift cause it’s cas.  Not realizing that it holds a deeper meaning as it does with Sea otters.
Balth watching the whole thing and is very unimpressed then takes it upon himself to pluck one of Cas’ feathers to present to the fair maiden.  Ray gets so excited for his feather and Cas sees it.  It upsets him because he wanted to pick a nicer feather.  One HE can give to her.  He decides then to pluck the most beautiful feather then gives it to Ray.  In her excitement she jumps on him hugging him and thanking him which causes his vessel’s heart to race so much he feels like something is wrong.  When things finally settle Ray asks him to stay and he spend the night watching her as she sleeps.
From that moment on she never takes that feather off!!!  
They continue to grow closer till the moment she finds out Cas has been working with Crowley and hiding things.  She gets upset but she defends Cas to dean leading to them having a huge fight.  Dean attempts to keep her in the baby before storming in to find Godstiel.  Rachael arrives to hear what he says to the boy and she is very upset by it.  She goes to grab his hand but he leaves which breaks Rachael.
She refuses to move or leave and Dean has to literally carry her out and take her back to bobby’s.  A couple days later Cas shows up following the who thing with the voters clearly upset from what he had done.  Ray comforts him and tells him that they are still there for him.  That she will always be there for him and then they share their first kiss.  In that moment things change.  He feels hope and decides he has to fix things for her.  For them.
By the time he gets to dean and everything it’s too late.  Ray sees the goo and then he disappears.  Rachael fetches his coat from the water.  She clings to it refusing to even wash it.  She spirals into a depression so dean is having to deal with that as well as sam.  Eventually he manages to pry the coat from Ray to wash it and when she wakes and finds it missing she flips out.  When Dean brings it back she flips out on him and punches him square in the face for it.  It was the first time she had a spark back and it seems to help get her going again.
They get sam settled into the hospital and then they start trying to find answers.  Eventually they hear about Emmanuel and go for him.  When they arrive to find it’s cas, Rachael feels like the world is crumbling from under her all over again.  Ray wants to give up but Dean keeps pushing for her to just help for Sam.  The ride back is the worst time of her life.  She has to sit in the back pretending she isn’t in love with him.
Emmanuel being the clever thing he is picks up on her pain and they discuss her lost love.  He attempts to comfort her.  her but he knows he reminds her of that man which makes him feel horrible.  Of course before they can get too far into it Dean stops for things and soon he returns with Meg!  She won’t shut up and eventually her and Meg start to fight.  Dean pulls that dad card ‘i will pull this car over’  after this threat a few times he does and Cas is moved to sit with Meg who proceeds to flirt with him.
By the time the reach the hospital Rachael is fuming  She wants to kill Meg but Dean stops her more than once from attacking Meg.  As dean referees them Cas or Emmanuel begins to doubt himself.  That he can stop demons. Meg does her pep talk and that’s when Ray just loses it. She runs over to Cas and just kisses him for a second time.  In that moment it all clicks into place.  When he pulls away he whispers her name for going to repent and fix sam despite ray begging him not to.
Thus Crazy!Cas appears.  Meg becomes the nurse and ray sticks around to be close to him. She stops hunting and begins to live normally.  She comes to see Castiel every day.  At first he just sleeps trying to deal with the trauma of everything.  She talks to him and tells him stories that he sees in his dreams.  It’s his sort of escape.  Eventually he wakes and then he and ray spend time together.  They color and play games and Meg does not approve.  She is often using her rouse as his nurse to get ray to leave and such.  Cas hating conflict leaves every time they bicker and ray is forced to follow her rules or be kicked out.
Things remain this way for some time till the tablet surfaces and then once again she is pulled back into hunting.  Cas leaves them for a bit instead focusing on other things while Ray tries to keep the world from falling apart all over again.  With Dick Roman and everything else she just is trying to make it through this and hopefully get a chance to be with Cas before it’s too late.
Eventually they all come together in the cabin where Meg continues to get close to Cas much to Ray’s dismay but she swallows her feelings.  As much as it hurts her she is only wants Cas to be happy even if it means she won’t be happy.  She accepts that but when the angels appear and threaten Cas Ray moves to defend him and nearly gets killed.  Cas snaps out of it then and that’s when he becomes the cas she knows and loves.
When the angels are finished with she and Cas face that they are about to have to say goodbye again.  Cas takes the chance to be alone with Ray and they share in their first night together.  Cas believing that he won’t see her again and that this is the end for her decides that some risks are worth taking and Rachael gets pregnant unbeknownst to her at this point in time.
The next day Ray wakes up and Cas is gone.  He leaves not wanting her to be a part of it.  While she is trying to figure out how to get to dean, Cas is there at impala telling dean what happened.  It’s then he realizes he made a HUGE mistake risking Rachael like that.  He confides in Dean and they fight but there is no time to handle that situation because the plan is in motion and they have to take down dick.
When Rachael finally gets there it’s too late.  Sam is the only one still there so they cry together a lot.  After that she knows what this means and she says bye to sam too. For a brief moment she got away from this life and he should too.  Sam leaves but Ray is determined.  She won’t give up.  She starts looking for answers however she can.
When Rachael discovers she is pregnant it seems to make her more determined to find cas but things go wrong and only a few weeks she loses the baby.  It’s absolutely heartbreaking to her.  That’s when she goes to Bobby to let him know everything and that’s when she sees Dean.  She hugs him then asks about Cas.
He won’t be completely honest with her about it but then he asks about the baby. she tells him about what happened.  They both realize Cas may never know and share some drinks before setting off to get Sammy back.
Ray remains with the boys helping with Kevin and trying to make the best of things.  She focuses on anything to keep her mind off of Cas. 
They work on trying to rebuild but that’s when Dean starts seeing Cas.  Now out the angel is watching trying to figure out if he ruined Ray’s life.  Eventually he shows up at the motel and ray opens the door to see him and it’s the best feeling in the world.  There are kisses and whispered ‘i love yous’ till Dean butts in and talks about how he looks.  Ray takes him to the bathroom where she helps him get cleaned up. He knows what happened and he cries mourning the loss with her.  Following this he is much more gentle and they have a very steamy shower which cause the boys to leave the motel room for awhile because well ray is vocal.
Cas works hard on proving himself and eventually when he decides to take a break Ray stays with Cas knowing that she belongs wherever he is.  Cas keeps to his word watching over Fred as he and Ray attempt to salvage some sense of normalcy.  They even get a place together for awhile but Cas can’t stop for whatever reason leaves to take care of other things leaving her behind.
Some time passes and when he doesn’t return Rachael fears the worst and goes to dean.  She reunites with the boys just before they go to save meg.  It’s there she sees Cas again but something is off with him.  It’s during that fight with Dean for the first time she is scared of Castiel.  Ray doesn’t know exactly what it was but Cas broke free.  Cas fixes Dean and tells Sam he will help and finally they are all together again.  For awhile at least.
Ray and Cas then move into the bunker.  At first dean is under the impression they will have their own rooms but both are very clear that they are together.  Sam isn’t surprised at all by the news and congratulate them.  At the bunker Ray is quick to make their room a cozy little get away. She makes things perfect for them.  For years she has been collecting pictures and other things that are special to her she can finally display proudly.
As a gift Cas gives her a box with Enochian symbols carved into it.  It’s special and only she can open it.  Inside he has been collecting his feathers that had molted to give to her.  There she puts lots of little treasures like the bottle cap from the bar Cas and her shared their first drink and such.
After a silly argument Rachael goes to a bar where she is being flirted with by some sleazy guys. Cas shows up to talk with Ray to find this. Ray clearly wants to 've with cas but the idiot frat boys continue to get rowdy with cas and proceed to touch Ray inappropriately. In a quake of anger Castiel's wings materialise and Ray sees them for the first time. After a fight cas takes Ray to a motel where they both learn about their wing!kink.
In the aftermath of that, Ray wakes to find Dean in their room while Cas' wings are out. Upset by this Rachael gets jealous and yells at the boys. Cas reacts leading to an even bigger fight than before. When he yells some hurtful things at her then disappears, Ray leaves taking time to decide may be she isn't what he wants or needs. Of course she is wrong and they boys find her in order to show her how much cas does need her.
Ray and Cas have a lot to make up for so they both focused on researching about how to finish the trails which leads to kidnapping Crowely which is a shame cause all in all Ray thought he was the most decent demon she had met. Cas leaves now and then handling other things but because Cas is so afraid she agrees to stay behind.  She doesn’t know it but Cas is working to help Metatron.
As Sam is trying to finish those trails something goes wrong.  Ray feels it in her bones.  She doesn’t know exactly what it is so she goes to find answers.  Stepping outside of the bunker she sees the fallen angels knowing just what they are because of Castiel telling her stories.  There are hundreds and instantly she knows this is only the start of something very big.
Now panicked Ray attempts to get in touch with the boys but there is nothing.  Some time later dean calls and Ray races against the clock to get to Sam.  Soon she arrives at the hospital but they are being hunted by angels.  Ray does her best to act as bait giving Dean and Sam time to figure things out.
As Rachael is struggling to help the boys, Cas is facing his own hell trying to get back to Rachael knowing he messed up.
Soon they return to the bunker and it’s there when Cas gets in touch with them explaining he is now human.  Rachael freaks out and despite dean’s objections sets out to find cas and bring him back.  The problem is, Cas knows nothing of what to do and he doesn’t leave enough information for Ray to actually find him.  She is pretty much making things up as she goes.  Dean eventually runs into her and with the help of the angel in sam they go to find Cas.
Cas only have the examples he has, when he meets this woman April he thinks sex is a smart way to be gracious.  After all when he does nice things for ray it leads to sex.  The hunters basically storm the apartment to find Cas hurt and a fight ensues.  Rachael gets knocked out and wakes to Castiel fussing over her.  Considering he was the one hurt she didn’t think that was the best idea.
They share a kiss but when she pulls away she notices signs of his night with April.  Rachael is completely devastated that he cheated but Cas is pretty clueless.  Not sensing the change or anything till she refuses to sit with him.  Sam takes the backseat for the ride back.  Confused and hurt Cas snaps at ray but it leads to her crying and she blurts out that he fucked someone else.
The boys are completely shocked because they didn’t know he had game.  Dean still couldn’t believe he got Ray let alone another girl. When they reach the bunker Ray storms off locking him out of their room which only upsets Cas more.  That’s when Dean has to explain what he did wrong.  Cas feels horrible and things only get worse as dean informs him that he can’t stay.
Ray had been listening and when dean proceeds to kick him out Ray loses it.  There is a huge fight and Cas has to step him and pick Ray up cause she is ready to kill the eldest Winchester.  He takes her to their room and tells her this is his fault and he deserves it.  While he is struggling he notices Rachael is packing up her things.  Confused he tries to stop her and that’s when Ray says that no matter what it’s them against the world.
After getting the most important things they leave with no where in mind to go but Ray doesn’t care so long as they are together.  Eventually they find an apartment and once again they attempt to have a life outside of hunting.  Cas now called Steve finds a job because humans work and they work on finding some peace in it.  At first Cas feeling guilty struggles to get close to Rachael again but they slowly work toward it and discuss possibly having a family.  While he wants it, he can’t bring himself to put his child at risk.
Things are finally falling into place. Ray is actually loving them being alone and enjoying a simple life that is until Dean comes back into their lives.  In one second she knows that this won’t work.  Cas says he will stay but she knows he won’t be happy with this.  She and Cas talk and she agrees that they need to fix heaven together and thus they start on a mission to fix things for all of them.
Cas knowing he has Rachael’s trust and help sets out to do what he must.  He prays and thus learns the truth about angels dying and everything else.  After getting captured he finds a way to escape killing theo and taking his graces.  He knows this could kill him but he knows Ray will never be safe with an angel in Sam and everything else so he has to fix it.
He comes back to ray then explains everything.  The borrowed grace, sam and the angel and everything else. They begin to rally gathering angels behind him.  Hannah being one who is extremely close.  Rachael can tell her feelings are deeper but Cas seems clueless about it only focusing on the task at hand. 
Being a good leader, the angels believe in him but doubt Ray.  He makes it clear she is there for everything and involves Rachael with every plan.  Rachael only being human acts as a strategist for the angels helping them prepare. But things turn as Gadreel and Metatron set Cas up making the angels turn on him.
Things get more hectic before they get better but eventually Cas fixes heaven and reveals the truth about Metatron.  The angels then look upon him as their leader once more and Cas makes the humble decision to spare Metatron and lock him away instead of killing him.
In the aftermath of that, Dean is now missing Cas is dying and Ray is struggling to keep faith.  Hannah remains close to Cas going as far as to try to be more human like Cas.  She tends to lack the ability to read social cues leading to some uncomfortable moments but Cas is learning to stand up for Ray drawing the line with Hannah while still keeping her close which leads Hannah to express that angels aren’t meant to be like humans while Cas disagrees.  After all he knows the love he feels for Ray.
They continue to travel but Cas is declining every day.  It’s then they run into a angry Adina.  Ready to kill, Crowley shows up and manages to save them and give the fading Cas her grace giving him more time.  In exchange for his help he asks Cas to take care of Dean and thus that is the next step.
After far too long they are back home at the bunker and Sam sets out to cure the now demon Dean.  Ray remains out of it because she just can’t see her best friend in such pain.  Things go awry and Dean gets free.  He ends up hunting Sam and Rachael.  The restored Demon!Dean hurts Rachael badly.  As she is bleeding on the floor he feels he has won but Castiel manages to stop him and they can preform the ritual again.  As Sam tends to his brother Cas hurries to Ray but she refuses to let him heal her.  Not wanting him to waste the grace.
As Dean is becoming human, Cas is working on caring for Rachael as if he were human again which is driving him insane.  As she sleeps he infuses a little grace at a time to help heal her just enough that she won’t notice.   During the recovery Cas insists they take time off to heal.  Things have settled and it’s time.
Dean of course can’t do that especially with the mark remaining on his skin.  Their first hunt Ray sits out of but when they return from dealing with the werewolf cas another one gets their attention.  As Cas works doing what he does Ray begs to come along just to get out.  It’s then she finds the most wonderful musical about the boys.  It’s then the boys learn ray not only read the books but enjoys their fanfiction and totally ships certain things.  Ray is far too amused by the play and Dean does not approve especially considering the whole Destiel thing but Ray loves it.  Aside from her being largely hated and ignored because it messes with their ship.  Still she doesn’t care cause the books don’t continue but they do and she gets the angel anyways.
After that case Ray returns to the bunker where cas is waiting and displeased she left.  Ray pouts explaining she is going crazy inside and she rejoins Hannah and Cas as they track down rogue angels.  During their travels ray tells Cas about the musical and has to go over it a few times before he realizes the underlining meaning about Destiel.  Cas is a bit embarrassed by it which ray finds adorable.  She wants so much to show him but with a third wheel what they can do is pretty limited.  Though after witnessing a kiss between the two, Hannah tries her own hand at kissing Cas which leads to some tension.
Shortly after the kiss, Hannah’s vessel’s husband tracks them down assuming the worse but it’s a wake up call for Hannah and she decides it’s time to go allowing Caroline to return home.  This stirs up a lot for Cas and he expresses he hadn’t thought much over how he affected Jimmy’s life.  With Ray’s help they begin to look for answers.
They two eventually find Claire who is angry with cas for ruining his family.  They attempt to get Claire out of the group home but it doesn’t work so cas resorts to breaking her out without Ray’s help.  She runs off and in a panic he turns to Dean not wanting Ray to know he messed up again.  Of course Dean showing up let’s her know something is wrong and they have to work to find Claire.  When they discover what a mess she is in, Dean loses control and takes out the loan shark and all of his men.
Now realizing that the mark could act up at any time they all know they have to fix it.  Castiel being impulsive as he is makes a decision of his own then leaves to retrieve Metatron so they can fix it.  The boys work through that as Ray works to get through to Claire who is running from them.  Eventually she finds her but not till she has listened to the wrong people. Thankfully she comes to her sense and Ray talks with her.  Knowing what it’s like to be a teen.  Cas comes to say his goodbyes and the part on good terms. 
feeling better about things Cas and Ray take a bit of time to themselves and Ray confides that she liked taking care of Claire.  Cas begins to realize Ray craves more.  She wants a family with him but he knows it’s not the right time so he works on taking his time to appreciate her.  Show her how much he cares even if he can’t give her a child... Yet.
The time is short however because they both set back to work on figuring things out with Dean.  They can’t give up.  Cas is very careful to leave Rachael out of as much as possible but when he does completely keep her out of the hunt she finds her own or goes to the boys so he is left with no choice but to have her come with him.
Cas manages to keep Ray in the dark till after his conversation with Sam.  He returns to Ray explaining he now has the first blade and everything that is going on.  Ray feels a bit defeated but she believes in Cas and she expresses that telling him that Cas is their angel and he will found a way like he always does.
Sam enlists Cas’ help along with others to fix Dean they both decide to leave Ray in the dark knowing her close bond with Dean could lead to her telling him.  As Cas grows secretive Ray becomes worried again leading to a confrontation where Ray asks him if he wants to be with her.  Cas is very upset by the question and he leaves.  Ray had gotten use Cas pulling those stunts.
This time is was along few days and Ray prayed to him over and over.  He came to her thinking she was asleep but she turned to take his hand begging him not to go. He laid with her and he admitted what was going on.  She was a bit angry with him but he was there which was all she wanted.  She agrees not to get involved but she says she won’t lie to dean either so she spends a lot of time avoiding him.
Following this Metatron mentions Cas’ grace and he tells ray about it.  She encourages him to go after it and she remains behind in the bunker alone.  When cas returns he is proud to tell her he is fully himself again.  After celebrating they work from there.
When Claire is distressed they all go to her rescue and they must face what happened to Jimmy and how it tore apart his family.  They end up facing some angels but through it they were able to bring Amelia to Jimmy in heaven.  Through this Claire finally figures Sam and Dean for what they did to her family and she sets out to follow after her surrogate fathers becoming a hunter.  Ray and her share a brief moment where she tells her she did it because of Dean too and that they girls needed to stick together leaving Cas a bit confused to what Ray meant by that.
A successful mission for a change leaves Ray feeling especially positive.  they head back and ray is feeling lighter than ever.  She just kind of focused herself on the good. As Ray attempted to distract herself things go wrong fast.
Charlie’s death sends dean into spin out of control.  He attacks Cas and he is sure it will be the end and he doesn’t get to tell Ray goodbye who is clueless to what is going on.  It’s not till Sam calls her that she finds out about everything.  In a panic she attempts to get ahold of the boys but nothing.  She spends an excruciating amount of time waiting unsure of what to do.
A couple days go by and ray is completely clueless when finally Cas comes to the bunker struggling to keep control.  Ray tries to help but he orders her to stay back.  She is panicking but the boys come back and he finally explains about Rowena’s spells.  That’s all they need to know and they set out to fix Cas.  Ray also has it in her mind she will kill rowena for making Castiel suffer.
Tracking her down was the easy part. She had gotten herself into trouble.  It had been a whole mess but Dean managed to keep Cas from hurting anyone and they could protect rowena.  She broke the spell but escaped before ray could get even.  Ray was very bitter about it but having Cas back was all she wanted anyways.
After a traumatic event Ray insists she and Cas go back to the bunker for awhile so he can recover.  They remain there for awhile while the boys hunt.  Cas works to do some research so he can still feel useful but it’s not enough.  Cas knows he can’t sit there and do nothing.  Despite Rachael’s pleas to wait.
When he returns he has that weasel with him yet again.  Ray does not like Metatron but she supports Cas through it allowing him to do what’s best. Getting the information from him Cas decides to allow Metatron to leave and it leaves the bunker tense.  Ray is starting to feel Cas doesn’t listen to her at all and everything she thinks is largely ignored so ray set out to do her own thing for a bit.
Cas unable to just pop in where he wants whenever struggles with the fact Ray leaves.  After a few days without her checking in Cas calls in some favors to find her and eventually he learns she has been under the spell of a djinn. Cas manages to take out the djinn.  When she comes to Cas ask her what she saw.  She refuses to talk about it.  Eventually he gets very invasive and sees for himself.  In the dream world Cas was heartbroken to see the dream world didn’t involve them being together.  Instead he was with Dean and happy.
He later attempt to discuss it with her but Rachael refuses.  They return to the boys in time to go to the cage with Rowena.  Cas makes sure to keep himself between Ray and Rowena at all times.  They leave but Cas stays back.  Ray goes with the boys for the time being.
Later back at the bunker Cas comes in and his behavior is odd.  It seems like Ray is the only one that notices but his blatant flirting tells her it’s not cas.  She quickly realizes he said yes to Lucifer which makes her angry.  She is stuck dealing with Lucifer and his flirting.  Ray keeps at the bunker babysitting the arch for the time being.
Discovering it’s it’s not Casifer Dean wants to get him back.  He and Ray come up with a plan.  Ray begins to flirt with Lucifer trying to get Cas to come out but he is very determined to hide in his head.  Ray doesn’t know it but Cas is fighting a lot with Lucifer not keen on the idea of his brother flirting with his MATE.  This is the first time Cas has said it to anyone and let it be known just how deeply he cares about Rachael.
The discovery that Chuck is God doesn’t come as a complete shock to Rachael.  She is angry though and yells at him which makes Lucifer proud.  He comments that Cas picked a good mate.   Rachael blushed at that feeling quite proud of herself.
With Chuck still staying there he and Ray have a chance to talk.  He talks about how he always knew Cas would fall for her.  Him dying seemed to do wonders for Ray but it was horrible for the rest of the world.  She asked Chuck to speak with Cas at some point because she knew he struggled with his choices but the talk was cut short by Lucifer wanting his attention.
Soon they all begin to rally together trying to come up with a plan.  Bringing together everyone they go to face Amara but it doesn’t work.  Most of them manage to get out alive returning to the bunker to lick their wounds.  Luckily Cas was back and Ray was determined to spend every moment she can with him having accepted the fate they were all very much doomed.
As a last act of desperation they began to gather souls acting as a bomb.  It meant using Dean.  After some very painful goodbyes Cas offers to go with Dean but Dean tells him he has a girl to look after.  He leaves and all that is left is to wait. And because Ray is unsure of if this will work she asks Cas to go somewhere just the two of them.
Somehow when Chuck makes up with his sister Cas knows and he shares this with Ray.  Happily they rejoice together but he does have a stern talking to about her flirting with her brother and they make up soon before making the trek back to the bunker to find the boys and make sure Dean is okay.
Sadly the reunion isn’t sweet.  Instead they find Sam missing and Dean there with Mary.  It leads to some confusion but together they eventually find Sam thus learning about the BMOL. This event sets things into a downward spiral.
They boys are left to deal with that as Cas sets out to track down Lucifer.  Cas being new to all of this she goes to assist Cas helping him with the whole FBI thing and everything.  During their trip they end up getting help from Crowley.  And it leads to some weird tension especially since Ray doesn’t despise the demon.  She is kind of fond of Crowley.  He is selfish but he had pulled through from the more than once.
The unlikely trio continued tracking down leads and eventually meet up with the boys in Cali now knowing Lucifer’s temporary vessel. They come up with a plan but when they crash the concert Lucifer doesn’t like it and kills many bystanders before injuring Cas and Crowley before slipping through the Winchester’s grasp.  
Shortly after their defeat something is wrong.  Cas feels it in his grace and he informs them that Lucifer has broken the rule.  There is a Nephilim created.  They all set out to stop this before it happens.  They find Kelly Kline and Rowena, Cas and Crowley try to talk sense into her and she agrees to go but she slips from Cas the moment she can leaving Cas feeling worried.
Ray knows how much it hurts Cas that he failed again and she attempt to express how proud she is of him.  They decide to go home and it’s then they find out the boys are missing.
With the boys gone monsters are going crazy.  Cas sees how much they are needed.  He can’t seem to really focus and Rachael takes it upon herself to leave to hunt trying to keep things at bay for the time being against Cas’ wishes.
After Dean contacts the Cas he calls Ray and they meet up to try to help the boys out. When they reunite Billie is there saying she is owed the soul of a Winchester.  The boys both say they will go and much to her surprise Mary offers but in the heat of things Cas kills Billie which pisses ray off cause those things always come back to bite them in the ass.  The ride from there is long and tense and ray won’t talk Cas.
They continue to give one another the silent treatment with him being short with the boy and generally in a bad mood so when Ishim comes things are tense. Hearing Cas past and the humans she finds herself quite sad about it all.  That’s when she swallows her pride and reaches for his hand.  They don’t talk about it but they both just know and that’s how they make up with each other.
The more they dig the truth comes out about the human and the mistakes made. Knowing Ishim killed his brother and an innocent angel they confront him.  Ishim easily defeats the Winchesters and Ray but when he goes to kill Lily, Cas kills him before telling Lily he is sorry for his part.  She has a chance to kill him but Ray gets up and defends him explaining he learned.  That Cas loves her.  Lily parts giving up her revenge. Ray is very proud of him and tells him that and how much she loves him.
The boys depart for a case and Ray works trying to track down leads on Kelly with Cas.  They are travelling for awhile but eventually they come together to assist Mary in a hunt, though Rachael is not fond of Mary and let’s that be known.  It leads to Ray and Dean fighting and Castiel is put in the middle.  Because Mary abandons the boys upon her return and finding out about her causing everything and hiding her life from John Ray believes she just isn’t a good woman.  Dean reminds her she has no right and it gets very ugly.  Cas being the middle man tries to maintain peace the best he can.  Opting to avoid the whole mess so Sam can deal with it.
At the diner while they are discuss the case Dean makes a few jabs at Ray even going as far to help the waitress hit on Cas.  Cas then is forced to side with Ray.  Going into the hunt things are tense but it only gets worse when they find out this wasn’t any demon.  Crowley shows up to tell them about the Knights of Hell and there is no saving Cas who has been stabbed and slowly dying Rachael is upset.  Being the stubborn thing he is tells them to go but Ray has already told him again and again they were in it together.  She’d rather die there with him then run.  After Cas says he loves the boys he and ray share a very tender kiss before Ramiel returns going on about stolen things.  Sam uses the Lance of Michael killing Ramiel.  Crowley figures out the secret is in the runes and breaks the Lance saving Cas yet again.  Ray being grateful as she is thanks Crowley with a kiss to the cheek which leads to a talk with Dean about her being too risky.
Ray and Dean are still having problems causing Cas to step up on Ray’s behalf and try to make things right.  He smooths things over pointing out Ray had not been wrong and Dean most deal with that while Ray continues to try to search for Kelly.
When they find Kelly has been taking by a knight of hell he tells Ray he has to go back to Heaven.  She is at first against it but returns to the bunker allowing him to do what he has to.  Later the boys return to the bunker and tell Ray about Mick and such.  Ray feeling a bit torn about the situation decides to go with them on some cases.  Letting Cas know via text.
The boys get a lead on Kelly and when they hear nothing from Cas they meet with Eileen to see for themselves.  Mick brings the Colt along but things go wrong and it’s learned that killing a K.O.H isn’t going to happen.  Dagon escapes with Kelly leaving them to all regroup.  
Cas finally comes back from heaven having been gone for weeks.  Ray is relieved and angry.  She is very happy and asks him to stay but he doesn’t.  He has decided to side with the angels leaving Rachael and the boys after taking the colt.  Dean realizes this and they go to find Cas.  They end up once again facing Dagon who destroys the colt.  That’s when the baby possesses Castiel allowing him to destroy Dagon and restoring Cas fully and fixing his wings in the process.
Having seen ‘the future’, Cas decides to go with Kelly but not before stopping the boys in ray.  They awake disoriented.  Once again Cas has left Ray and she is angry and hurt.  After everything and her supporting him he turns his back on her.
While Cas plays house with Kelly, Ray decides she is done with it all and leaves the bunker but she leaves communication up for the boys.  Ray has moved on with her life.  Or at least tried but with everything going on the have missed something big.  Ray is pregnant.  No one knows and when Dean calls telling them about finding Kelly and the baby.  At first Rachael refuses to go but shows up much later to find Cas dead.  His wings burned into the ground.  Ray cries a lot mourning the loss of Cas.
She leaves the boys returning to the normal life she has made. The boys attempt to respect that the best they can.  But when Cas comes back from the void Jack notices his ‘father’ is so upset he gets ray and brings her back to the bunker.  Seeing Cas is a jolt for Ray.  They share in a very heated moment in front  of Jack who is curious but dean breaks it up.
Not wanting a moment apart Ray remains close to Cas.  As they are talking Jack casually points out Rachael is pregnant and she is about a third of the way through her pregnancy.  Dean does NOT take it well already seeing what happened to Kelly and with Jack.  Ray on the other hand is overjoyed and Jack decides he is going to be a good big brother and protect his baby sibling and Rachael so they don’t have to grow up too quick like he had to.
