[ sam's focus is down to the singular moments - that they need to get there, that he has a feeling he knows what they will find when they do. with jaskier in his bird form and red at his side, the three of them take off into the skies of the badlands - red able to track down where it is that geralt and dean had gone, and the moment they are close enough to see it, he and jaskier exchange the look.
from there on out, it's just a matter of getting this done. jaskier dives off first, peeling down to where cas and geralt are wound up with each other, and red follows. he's quicker than sam and his wings, so when sam turns and joins the dive downward, he's a few seconds behind. just enough to hear what part of him thinks is a scream, but also...there's no way it can be, is there? he's able to parse out very basic information while he's in dive - that castiel and geralt are at each other's throat, that the demon in dean is superhuman in more ways than one; there are other bodies, ciri on roach's back and a blinding light that comes from jo and then another too, but sam's attention snaps back to what he focuses on first, and what he thinks he can focus on.
it's going to take a lot more than a couple of hands to slow whatever that demon is down, and sam's attention is on the two arguably most powerful of the group, whose attention appears to instead be on each other. and so sam dives, pulling up (and putting arguably a bit too much strain on his wings, but that's something for viktor to worry about later) at the last second and his boots hitting the ground with a thud, just about the same moment the shot rings out. it's only another step or two before he's physically putting himself between cas and geralt - he knows it's a risk, judging by the heat in their previous exchanges and the amount of blood, but it's one he's willing to take.
