:It's metaphorical. Castiel is referring to the time it takes to think and act to initiate teleportation - you'll notice that it's not instant because constantly throughout the series, holding a knife to an angel's throat stops them from simply leaving. He's not saying that they can literally catch up to him DURING the teleportation. Metaphysically speaking there is no "speed" to teleportation - an angel's nature, in Christian doctrine, means that it goes from place to place without touching the distances in between, they don't "move" in the sense that we would understand it.

There is other evidence to suggest that angels (maybe demons too) somewhat ''move'' during teleportation. In s5 e10, Castiel "follows" Crowley to his mansion via teleportation. In s5 e18, Castiel not only states that the other angels guarding Adam are "faster" than he is, but it also appears as if he is watching them move about the room while they are teleporting. Last but not least, in s6 e6, Castiel "searches" the town for Gabriel's Horn of Truth via teleportation, which suggests he must be able to somewhat move about while teleporting.

The angels one thing but reapers. One went inside of bobby's head to get him. Like by your logical all a person would have to do is go somewhere where there is no life and a reaper couldn't follow.: The Twilight of Your Despair 03:03, February 27, 2012 (UTC)

P.S. the reason I state this is that like how Angels can, reapers are the one's responible to send souls to Heaven or Hell. If a hellhound or crossroad demon's deal is not in play.: The Twilight of Your Despair 03:06, February 27, 2012 (UTC)

When using the term advanced, I mean for the character to be able to literally teleport anywhere. Reapers aren't, they can only go where there's life. As of now, the only characters that can go anywhere in teleporting, is Deities, Archangels, the Horsemen and Angels. Good day. -- ImperiexSeed, 10:39 PM, February 26th 2012

Castiel's speed of teleportation, well....

As an Angel, Castiel can teleport. But, judging on a comment in "Point of No Return," it seems like an Angel's speed of teleportation, apparently, varies. - DEAN: "You're fast." CASTIEL: "They're faster." To me, that heavily signifies an evidence discrepancy in the ability to teleport in Angels. Your thoughts.... -- ImperiexSeed, 12:20 PM, July 20th 2013

Dematerialization or teleportation?

Forgive me for this one, but could Azazel be a type of Acheri? His vanishing in "Salvation" remarkably resembled the Acheri's, when Sam fired the Colt at him. It's like he dematerialized his form, either that, or he wasn't using a real vessel, and was assuming human form like the Horsemen. Although, this could be how the writers 'visualized' the act of teleportation then. -- ImperiexSeed, 5:53 PM, January 9th 2014

Possibly the last one you suggested. Azazel displayed far too different abilities compared to that one similar 'vanishing' effect. FTWinchester (talk) 22:10, December 23, 2014 (UTC)

Teleportation or flight?

Why do some angel refer to teleporting as flying, when these are very different things? Jmac 703 (talk) 07:38, January 28, 2018 (UTC)
