Loki was watching Dogma again for the second time (Natalie had heard about it from Dean once, but Loki hadn't really seen most of it) when he heard the Host cry out in one voice...

Dean Winchester has been saved.

He turned off the DVD, and went to get Natalie and Sam. Dean would likely need a lift to their house to get cleaned up and recover.

After that they were calling everyone in for a little story telling.

Loki popped into where Sam and Bobby had buried Dean, saw the damage and winced. This was going to put him and Natalie on a lot of prospective radars, and that wasn't necessarily a good thing. Especially with their son.

"Loki?" said Dean cautiously. The 'god' winced at the condition his soul was in.

"Need a lift?"

"Where to?" said Dean.

"Home. My home."

"With Nat and Tori? Sure."

"Sam too. Ruby's been sniffing around trying to find him for months since you went missing."

"You did grab him early right?"

"The second you were confirmed in the pit, I grabbed him and he became our semi-permanent babysitter. Tori loves his uncle Sammy."

Dean grinned. He was going to have fun with teasing Sam about that.

Natalie was woken out of a sound sleep by the sound of someone talking far too loudly in Enochian.

Cursing, she went to check on the others. Sam and Dean were in pain, Tori was crying and her clone had dispelled. Loki unsurprisingly, was missing, since he was getting Bobby and the others.

"SHUT THE HELL UP! SOME OF US WERE TRYING TO SLEEP YOU DAMN ANGEL!" she shouted in Enochian, putting some of her youki into the yell so that the angel heard her loud and clear.

Suddenly the racket stopped, but Natalie was on damage control mode.

It took her five minutes to calm her son down, and another two to heal the damage done by the angel's voice.

"Dammit all to the pit and back. When I get my hands on whoever woke us up he's going to wish I knew less methods of wringing an angel's neck," snarled Natalie.

Loki appeared when it was all over, looking rather harried.

"Remind me not to wake Bobby up again. He nearly shot my head off! What's up?"

"One of your brothers," Natalie hissed at him in a low tone, "Was trying to contact Dean. Coincidentally when the hell were you going to tell me I could hear their true voice without going insane?"

"What?"

"Someone was shouting in Enochian ten minutes ago and I could hear their voice loud and clear," she repeated.

"Huh...wonder if it's a side effect of carrying Tori, or something else."

"In any case, you get to put a new ward up to block the Host so we don't have to deal with whichever idiot woke us up," said Natalie.

"Yeah, sorry about that. I wasn't expecting them to try their real voice to get their attention," said Loki embarrassed.

"So what was so damn important you woke me up at three in the damn morning to get me?" said Bobby irritably.

"Yo."

Bobby's head whipped over to where Dean was sitting eating something Natalie called ramen. Whatever it was, it was better than that prepackaged crap in the stores.

"What in..."

"Dean was pulled out last night. Unfortunately," said Loki stressing his irritation, "Whoever did the grabbing thought he might be able to hear an angel's true voice. If Natalie finds the angel who woke them all up he's going to be in for it."

"So what exactly did you drag us in here for?" asked Ellen, accepting a bowl of the soul and noodle concoction.

She was proud to say she taught Natalie how to cook.

"It's about time that I told you all what I really am. Loki wasn't my original name."

"So who are you, really?" asked Bobby, accepting some coffee from Sam.

"Let's just say Dogma wasn't entirely full of crap. Though I will admit I haven't gone and screwed around with a clergy's faith before," admitted Loki. He had to say, that part of the movie was hilarious.

The mass killing of the corporate execs, not so much. Though they did get part of it right...he would have dealt some damage to creeps like them if given a choice.

"Wait... you're an angel?!" said Dean in disbelief.

He had seen the movie, and found it hilarious. Then again he was a fan of Jay and Silent Bob. Bob was funny, in his opinion.

"Not just any angel," said Natalie smirking.

"Don't spoil my fun babe!" said Loki pouting.

"I'm not. I'm just saying there's a reason I was going to name my girl child, if Tori had been a girl, Gabrielle."

Surprisingly no one figured out the connection.

"So which angel are you?"

"I'm higher than the Metatron," said Loki cryptically. He was going to drag this out as long as possible, just for the fun of their shocked faces when they realized who Natalie had married and had a kid with.

"Wait a minute. The Metatron was a seraph, one of the higher choirs of angels. The only thing above them that I'm aware of is..." said Sam, then he turned to look at Loki in real shock and disbelief.

"Is?" said Dean, wondering why Sam had stopped. Everyone except Natalie leaned forward eagerly.

"An arch angel. You married a freaking arch angel?!" said Sam, looking at his sister in disbelief.

"Not just any arch angel either," said Natalie, confirming it.

"Gabriel?" said Sam, figuring out the connection first from Natalie's choice of name for a daughter.

"Bing, bing, bing! We have a winner! Have some chocolate as a reward," said the newly revealed Gabriel with amused glee.

"You married Gabriel, the angel of Judgment," said Dean. It was clear he was having trouble processing this.

"God's messenger," said Bobby suddenly. Though he did have an odd look in his eye as he said "Don't they usually portray you as a girl?"

Gabriel suddenly choked on his candy.

"I have no idea where the hell that bit started, and frankly I find it irritating that people keep thinking I'm a chick when Gabriel is a boy's name."

"Wait. Now last time I checked angel's who have relations with humans produce nephilim..." said Sam, remembering the wings on Tori's back.

"For the record, outside of this room we are going to call him a tengu. The second heaven learns there's a living half-breed down here they can and will send their heavy hitters to kill Tori," said Natalie.

"Is it really so bad? An angel having a half-blooded kid?" asked Jo.

"There's a reason why I can honestly say that heaven is full of dicks. They hate half-breeds, and they won't hesitate to kill one. In fact one of the standing orders for any angel down on earth is to kill them on sight. And I've been hiding from my brothers for a reason...if they knew I had married a human they will kill Natalie."

Hell, they might kill her anyway because of the kitsune in her stomach.

"So...are you going to show them or what?" asked Sam, referring to Tori's wings.

Loki waved his hand over his son, and everyone stared at the golden wings on his back.

"Natalie's blood and my natural powers had a rather interesting result. Fortunately there are youkai in Japan that look human but have wings, so if anyone asks, Natalie has tengu blood and it passed to Tori," said Gabriel, conjuring an image of a tengu for them.

"Plus there's the fact that Gabriel will be adding a level of protection so you'll automatically call Tori a tengu half-breed and not an angelic one."

Gabriel had been hiding for years. And he had to develop protections to keep heaven from finding him by proxy. So he simply hit everyone except Natalie with a spell that would have them automatically make them think different terms or names for certain subjects. Gabriel would automatically become Loki, Tori would go from nephilim to tengu and so on.

Dean, Bobby and Natalie were summoning the angel who had brought Dean back, and Loki was watching Tori and Sam.

He had been promised pictures of Natalie's revenge against Castiel for waking them up so rudely.

He remembered Castiel. He was a good soldier but very naïve about the ways of humans. He served under Micheal according to Gabriel.

It took Castiel three hours to find a vessel, and immediately he knocked out Bobby who had a gun trained on him.

He would have done the same to Natalie, but she used her chakra chains on him first. He looked very surprised that an Uzumaki was outside the Elemental Nations...and with the Winchesters.

"So...you're the bastard who woke us up two night ago trying to contact Dean..." growled Natalie.

"I apologize. I was unaware of the fact my voice was at an inappropriate level for that time of night," said Castiel, giving up on escaping.

"You woke everyone up, including my son. And Tori is hard enough to put to sleep on a good night," said Natalie. That had been the worst part.

Castiel had the decency to look apologetic. Most angels liked children...they were generally innocent.

"I apologize."

"Now, why did you think Dean of all people could pick up on angel radio, let alone speak Enochian?"

Castiel blinked.

"You could hear me?"

"Loud and clear," confirmed Natalie.

Castiel paused in trying to convey his message to Dean from heaven and actually looked at Natalie.

"Ah. I was unaware that the child prophesied to save the Elemental Nations knew the Winchesters."

"Say what now?"

"There is a prophecy by the Toad Sages that a child will be born of the Uzumaki main line that will save the Elemental Nations from a great evil and bring relative peace among them," clarified Castiel, who then added "Though heaven was unaware that the prophecy child was outside the Elemental Nations consorting with hunters."

"First off, I'm not consorting with anyone. Dean's my older brother. Secondly I haven't even been to that area since I was found on the doorstep of the Winchesters the same night I was born," said Natalie flatly.

Castiel looked genuinely surprised by this pronouncement, so she took that as a victory.

"So what sort of angel are you anyway?"

"I am a minor soldier in Micheal's garrison," said Castiel. He gave Dean the message and left. Natalie had given his true form a black eye for waking them up, but that was it.

Natalie was awoken by Gabriel who had Tori in his arms in the baby sling he had rigged up.

"Get up, we need to move, now."

"What's up Lo'?"

"Lilith just set the Witnesses loose, and she's targeting the hunters with those they couldn't save in time."

"We're neutral, remember?"

"We're Winchesters remember? She's targeting anyone with that last name specifically!"

Gabriel had taken Natalie's last name as his own, because he didn't actually have one.

"So where are we heading?"

"Bobby's. Someone's going to have to make sure those muttonheads live long enough to see this through," said Gabriel.

Natalie threw her basic pack together and they appeared in Bobby's panic room. She left a salt line but kept the door open as she fell right back to sleep on the cot in the room. Tori curled up against his mother and the two immediately started to snore.

Bobby heard noise in his basement, and found a familiar pair of faces.

Tori's bright red hair (he inherited the Uzumaki red hair) and golden wings were curled up against his mother's blond head under a nicer cover than he had down there. The salt line alone spoke volumes, though he wondered why she hadn't just shut the door instead.

Bobby shook her awake.

"When did you get here?"

"Lo dropped me off last night. Said that one of the seals broke and it was too dangerous for anyone named Winchester to be outside protections from some seriously pissed off ghosts."

Tori's silvery-blue eyes opened up to look at his godfather, before curling up closer to his mother.

Tori Uzumaki-Winchester

Age: 9 months

Gender: Male

Parents: Loki/Gabriel, Natalie Winchester/Naruko Uzumaki

Unique characteristics: Functional golden wings on back, unusually high intelligence, high chakra reserves, natural Grace

Appearance: Uzumaki red hair, silver-blue eyes, lightly tanned skin, whisker marks on each cheek

Bio: even at nine months, Tori shows he is his parent's son by all the mischief he gets up to with Sam while Dean is in hell. He has a large amount of intelligence and can hear the Host before he has even learned to talk. Loki was most put out that his son's first words wasn't dada like he hoped, but 'poof' after the way his mother's clones tended to short out and disappear. It took Natalie hours to get him to quit complaining about that.

Tori is well aware that his mother can duplicate herself, but the fact she usually has either Sam or a clone with him at night doesn't bother him.

Despite having wings, Tori has yet to manage to do more than hover, as the wings themselves are like a baby bird's.

According to Gabriel, this is normal. However he has also stated that should Tori be in any life threatening danger, Tori's Grace will accelerate his natural aging to the point where he can go from not even being a year old to a five-year old in a matter of seconds, though doing so will make him very sick for at least a week.
