How the Apocalypse Should Have Ended, Chapter 2

By CastielLovesDean

Inspired by Haily's review.

"Really?"

Michael turned to face his irritating younger brother. "What?"

"You couldn't have figured that out on your own?" Gabriel slurred with his mouth full of Snickers.

"It had not occurred to me," Michael admitted. "I may have been too focused on prophecy."

Gabriel laughed obnoxiously, spitting bits of chocolate everywhere. "Aren't we supposed to be the agents of prophecy?"

"Indeed. Why do you think I accepted Dean Winchester's suggestion as valid?"

"Because you don't have an original thought in that big ol' incorporeal head of yours!" Gabriel thunked Michael on his forehead for added effect. "I mean, do you realize how close we got? What could have happened if Dean hadn't thought up the perfect yet most obvious answer to our problems?"

Michael blinked indifferently.

"Sam Winchester would almost definitely have died, and he doesn't deserve that."

Michael looked doubtful.

"I mean, he's a pain in the ass, but a well-meaning one, right?"

Michael was still unconvinced.

"Well, he's really, really tall. That's gotta count for something."

Still unconvinced, but more irritated.

"Fine! But you might have died! Everyone else on the planet... all of Dad's precious humans... might have died! I might have died! Me! Do you know how tragic that would have been?"

Michael finally spoke again. "For what it's worth, I'm sure you would have died ironically. Stabbed with your own sword, perhaps..."

"I'd prefer being snu-snu'd to death by supermodels, but thanks anyway."

Michael blinked. "'Snu-snu'd'?"

"Uh... nevermind. It's a human thing. Cartoons."

"I see." No, he didn't. "So, Gabriel... do you have any plans for the future?"

"I was thinking of throwing an apocalypse afterparty. Wanna come?"

"...No."

For the record, I like my endings better than the canon one. Please review.
