Chronokinesis

"Time is fluid Dean. It's not easy but we can bend it on occasions."

- Castiel to Dean

Chronokinesis is the ability to manipulate the passage of time, including stopping time, speeding it up, or travelling through it to end up in the past or an alternate future. Even without wings, an angel can still time travel as its "a totally different system" according to Lucifer.

Time Travel
Time-travel is a highly advanced chronokinetic method for transporting someone either back or forward in time. Angels can achieve it, and according to Castiel, it's not easy to perform, but for Archangels it's incredibly simple. Angels who have been disconnected from Heaven have a very difficult time doing it, and it can be quite damaging to the de-powered angel.

Gabriel Creates a Time Loop
In 2008, Gabriel, acting as The Trickster, let Sam witness the same day over and over again. On each day Dean died. After many days of this, he was discovered by the brothers, but decided to resume Sam's life after Dean was killed once more, however this time he stayed dead. Only a few months later Gabriel decided to set Sam back to the first time and let him live his life further. Gabriel said that he wanted to teach a lesson in losing his brother.

Dean sent back to 1973
In 2008, Castiel brought Dean back to the year 1973. Here he met his parents, John Winchester and Mary Campbell. Castiel told Dean "to stop it" but he didn't know what he was meaning. When Dean infiltrated in the Campbell family, he found out that Azazel was after Mary. When Azazel killed John, Mary decided to make a deal with him. When Castiel traveled Dean back to 2008, Castiel told that Dean could never have stopped it, that he just wanted let Dean know what he knows.

Dean sent to the future
In 2009, Zachariah brought Dean to the future (2014) so he could see what would have happened when he said "no" to Michael. Dean learned that the Croatoan Virus was spread and that the world basically ended with Sam as the vessel to Lucifer. After Dean confronted Lucifer, Zachariah returned him to his own time where this future was changed when Sam, Dean, Bobby and Castiel defeated Lucifer.

Anna, Castiel, Dean and Sam sent back to 1978
In 2010, Anna traveled back in time to kill Mary Winchester, so Sam could never be born. After Castiel found out about this, he traveled back with Sam and Dean to stop her. Castiel was weaken by the time travel and could not join the brothers on their mission to stop Anna. During the mission, Michael killed Anna and erased the memory of John and Mary so that they would never remember their sons visited them. Eventually Castiel traveled back on his own.

Balthazar unsinks the Titanic
In 2011, Balthazar goes back in time and saves the Titanic on Castiel's orders. This created 50,000 new souls to be used. When Sam and Dean asked why, Balthazar answers he hated the movie and the Celine Dion song made him want to smite himself. This unleashes Fate though and she begins to kill off descendants of the Titanic survivors. In addition to altering realty (ie. Ellen is alive and married to Bobby). Balthazar eventually fixes it and re-sinks the Titanic.

Sam and Dean go back to get Phoenix Ashes
In 2011, after doing some digging in Samuel's library, Dean finds out that using phoenix ashes, Eve can be killed. So with the help of Castiel, Sam and Dean head back to the Wild West. The are brought back by Castiel after killing the Phoenix with The Colt but before they could gather the ashes. However, Samuel Colt packages up the ashes and it's delivered to Bobby's house in the future, making the mission a success.

Dean tackles Chronos back to 1944
In 2012, Dean chases a man killing people by rapidly aging them. He tackles this man and finds himself in Chicago in 1944. There he meets Elliot Ness, who happens to be a hunter. The two of them go after Chronos, and Dean is brought back by Sam and Jody summoning Chronos while he was wresting with him.



Henry Winchester comes from 1958
In 1958, Henry Winchester, John's father, and Sam and Dean's grandfather, used a spell to come forward to 2013 to escape Abaddon, however the demon followed him, presumably through the same spell.

Abaddon goes back to 1723
In 2014, Abaddon, using the same spell Henry Winchester used to get in 2013, goes back to Scotland in 1723 to get Crowley's son Gavin MacLeod so she could use him as a bargaining chip. After Dean Winchester kills Abaddon, he and his brother Sam intend to return Gavin to his own time so that his presence won't mess with history but Crowley refuses and teleports him away to live a new life in the present, uncaring of the consequences.
