Chuck looked between what they had, having pulled Gabriel back from his hideout on Asgard, with much gusto, Thor had been very thankful. His youngest Archangel was getting stir crazy and with that, everyone else was going crazy with him, it was a lesson that was always learned at the expense of everyone else, but it was best to ensure His messenger did not get cabin fever.

Pulling Michael from the cage hadn't been an easy task, there was much damage that needed fixed from his extended stay, and even still he would be at His side for some time to come, frightened of being on his own. Michael was really not in any shape to be going to war but they were scraping at the bottom of the barrel here, and so long as the soldier didn't venture too far from His side he should be just fine.

And then of course, there was Lucifer, no explanation was needed for that one. Let it not be said that that one couldn't hold a grudge. He was full of so much anger and so much rage, that it was dangerous, but could be used to their advantage. If there was anyone that Lucifer hated more then Him, it was Her.

Gabriel raised his hand and Chuck heaved a sigh, they had only been together for about half a week now and already He had a headache forming, "Yes Gabriel?"

The messenger looked between himself and his older brothers, and then back at his Father, "Umm. Dad. I don't want to be the one to call out your plan here, but well, last time it took you and all four of us, and we seem to be one short."

Cue a pointed look in Castiel's direction, Dean Winchester made a noise as he jumped to the seraphs defence in a seconds notice, when he looked down to his shoes in shame. There had not been much that He could salvage of what had been left of His Healer, Castiel had destroyed him from a grace make up. And there was no time to gather what was left and remake what wasn't.

"Hey. If you guys hadn-""Dean."

Chuck shook His head, now was not the moment, there was no time to rehash old fires. What happened to Raphael was unfortunate, and He planned on bringing His son back, but later when there was more time.

But Gabriel was right.

He had not wanted to pull him into this, none of this was his fight, and he shouldn't have to fight a fight that was never his to be involved in. He was still so young, and He'd promised Raphael to allow him to live his own life and live safely. But they needed four archangels, and if they couldn't have four archangels, they would have to use the next best thing.

It was wrong of Him to go back on His word to His son, but they were at a dead end here (pun not intended) and needed to have all hands on deck. Bringing him in like this would make this already tense situation even worse, having to ensure that the boy made it out of there alive, but his power was almost as absolute as Raphael's had been.

They would need him if they wanted a chance to win this fight against His Sister.

"Who's going to fill in for Raphael?", Michael spoke up as if Dean Winchester hadn't had his coniption and the elephant in the room hadn't been mentioned. Chuck scrubbed a hand down His face, pulling at His slight beard a moment, and nodded.

"He will."

"Who?", Lucifer tilted his head in confusion, and as if on cue, there was a door that opened from down the hall, foot steps echoed in the silence that followed after, and a shadow turned the corner a second before he did. Chuck smiled over His shoulder at him, waving him over encouragingly, the boy crossed the room silently, taking in everything as he did.

The three archangels stared the boy down, eyes widened in surprise, he was not Raphael, but he sure felt like him. There was a rolling of grace and soul under his skin, it was so familiar. He stopped at Chuck's side, smiling brightly at the three angels before him, Castiel stood from his stool, staring at the boy just as the archangels were. Sam and Dean didn't seem to understand the turn of events. They couldn't see the bright powerful grace in the boy.

Chuck smiled down at him, curling a hand over his shoulder, "This is Isaiah.", the boy waved slightly, "He's your nephew."

Should it go on? Should the other archangels get to know their nephew? Will Isaiah be much help? How much like Raphael is he? How will this change the fight against the Darkness?
