Surprised isn't the word I'd use. Ecstatic, maybe.
This is a dangerous job, even when it is just normal salt & burn. Hunters can't ever forget that. The ones that do die quickly.
So it isn't not having faith to think someone could die doing something. That's a reality.
I never thought Dean could never do it. But I was also aware it was a huge risk, just like me taking on Lucifer. But Lucifer.. I did that to fix my mistakes and save the world, and save my brother. This was Dean taking on something huge, with no back-up... just for me. I didn't want him doing it, because I didn't want him taking that risk for me. Especially after the Hydra, when it became abundantly clear Zeus wasn't playing around. Dean's given enough, over and over again. I don't want him giving up his life or his shot at a peaceful afterlife. Not ever again.
But there's no stopping him, especially where family is concerned.
There's no stopping him. Which is pretty much what every god, angel, and monster needs to learn. If you think you can trip up Dean Freakin' Winchester, there's a big risk that you'll be the one eating crow.
