Prologue

'Gabriel POV'

'What a bunch of morons!' Gabriel fumed silently to himself.

"I knew Kali just couldn't sit on her pretty little butt while the spotlight is on good old Luci. Figures". He'd just received word of the meeting that's to take place between the more powerful Pagan Gods. 'And she didn't even invite me!' He chuckled ruefully. 'I'm hurt! I had to find out from Mercury, how lame is that?' Gabriel was sitting in a plush armchair in one of his many safe houses, eating his way through his 6th bar of chocolate of the day.

Sighing inwardly to himself, Gabriel flashed to the meeting point in an almost silent flutter of wings, landing outside a crappy looking motel in the middle of nowhere. He surveyed the scene in front of him. 'Really? Could they be anymore unoriginal?'

Walking towards to entrance, he took note of all the beings he could sense on the inside. 'So we've got Kali, no surprise there. Baldur. Oh look, another surprise... Goody. That means Odin isn't too far awa- oh there he is!' Deciding he had sensed enough, Gabriel took one last look around the parking lot. He was just about to face forward and set off into the motel when he noticed something at the back of the lot. Something he really couldn't be dealing with right about now. He cursed. 'Motherfuckers!' Sitting there, without a care in the cosmos was a black 'Chevvy Impala'. Normally something like this wouldn't catch the Archangels attention. But given the fact that this particular car is parked outside a motel that just so happens to be housing not-so-normal people could only mean one thing.

The Winchesters are for some inexplicable reason, involved in this charade.

'Fucking Winchesters, always where they're not supposed to be! Always messing up my fun!'

Sighing to himself again, Gabriel stepped through the main doors thinking about how he was going to set things right before the Winchesters caused everything to blow up around them.

As he walked through the main reception he noticed Mercury standing straight backed behind the welcome desk with a pleasant smile plastered onto (in Gabriel's opinion) hawkish face.

"Loki! So glad you could make it, we were wondering if you were going to show". Mercury announced, that same obviously false smile still present. Gabriel smiled back sweetly.

'What an absolute kiss-ass' "Well you know me Merc, never one to say no to a family reunion" he said, again smiling his patented sweet smile. Gabriel waved halfheartedly and without a second glance, sauntered his way into the main hall.

Gabe was unimpressed. Despite the interior of the motel being a hell of a lot more extravagant than the exterior would have had him assume, it didn't stop him from thinking it lacked the showmanship and flare he had grown accustom to these past few millennia. What else do you expect a guy to do? Live in a cave for eons upon eons? Not a chance.

The hall looked like someone's half baked attempt at modernism, but failed as they were clearly not familiar with anything post 10th Century Europe. It was obviously Odin's handiwork. Everywhere was covered in obnoxious reds and golds, the chairs, the curtains. Even the lights! Deciding he'd seen enough, Gabriel sat down at the far end of the table and cast his gaze over at the two humans who had yet to notice his arrival. He smirked to himself, apparently the Winchester boys were to busy glaring daggers at Kali, who was eyeing them up like they were a pair of particularly juicy burgers. Conjuring a lollipop, Gabriel sat back, with his legs resting upon the long dining table and waited. It took a few minutes but eventually Sam glanced in his direction, dismissed his presence and continued to stare death (Kali) in the face. Then quick enough that even Gabe could hear his neck crick, Sam snapped his surprisingly powerful gaze on him instead. Slowly, recognition followed by shock and incredulity spread across those tanned features and his face set into a scowl. He took a breath and spoke, with a voice laced with ice cold venom.

"Why the fuck am I surprised to see you here? Wait, don't answer that. I don't want to know" Sam turned back to face Dean, poking him in the ribs with a long finger.

Oh Sammy, I always knew you were the smart one. Hot too' he chuckled to himself.

"Ow dude, what the hell?" Said Dean indignantly. He followed Sam's gaze as it drifted back to Gabriel who was still lounging about like he owned the place. As his eyes found the source of Sam's ire, Dean reared back in his seat and hissed in shock. "You've got some nerve showing yourself in front of me asshole!" Dean said, voice dripping with unconcealed contempt "What the fuck are you doing here anyway? Come to try and convince us to say yes again? Well don't bother, you know as well as we do that, that isn't going to happen!"

Kali had been watching with something akin to mild amusement when she spoke up. "Loki" she smiled malevolently "I was unaware you knew these particular angelic vessels on a personal basis" her eyes at this point held a dangerous gleam. "Please by all means, enlighten us" she gestured with open arms to the rest of the rooms occupants. "Of your escapades involving the meat suits"

Gabriel cast a quick glare at Dean before standing up to drop a rather large bombshell. 'Motherfucking Winchesters, always making things more difficult than they need to be!' "Well my wonderful Kali, friends" he continued to suck on his lollipop while speaking in a rather jovial manner. "I first met this gruesome twosome when they stumbled into on of my traps" he had finished his lollipop by this point and proceeded to conjure up another one and popped it into his mouth with an audible clatter of teeth against hardened sugar. 'Ooh, raspberry flavour. Nice!'. "I was trying to get it through there thick skulls that they should accept that they will be the vessels to the two biggest douchebags of all time" Gabriel looked around to see if anyone was about to object before he sat down again.

Kali though, wasn't convinced. "That's all well and good Loki, but why would you get involved? What have you got to gain by speeding the process along?" She narrowed cold, calculating brown eyes on Gabriel, waiting for an answer.

'Shit, she knows more than she's letting on.' He sighed dramatically. 'Looks like the jig is up'

"The reason" started Gabriel in a neutral tone. "That I got myself involved is because Michael and Lucifer are family, they're my brothers. I, am the Archangel Gabriel".

There was a collective intake of breath followed quickly by exclamations of "WHAT?" Clearly, the Pagans were shocked the find out this little tidbit. Everyone that is except for the Winchesters... And Kali. 'I wonder when, and how she found out? I must be loosing my touch'.

Surprisingly, Odin was the first one to pick his jaw up off the table, directing his attention to Kali. "And how long exactly, have you known about this? Because you hardly seem bothered by this... this revelation!" Baldur chimed in then "Yes, it is rather suspicious. Why, if you have an idea as to Loki's true identity did you not inform us sooner?"

Kali sighed resignedly before she spoke to the group at large. "The truth is, I didn't know for sure. It was barely a suspicion. I just knew he was hiding something. Albeit not something as disastrous as this" she gestured towards Gabriel, who's eyes were boring holes into the side of her head. "But seeing as it is something rather dramatic, what do you think we should do about it?"

"What do you mean Kali?" Demanded Gabriel.

"I am referring to how we are going to explain this to Lucifer when he arrives here to apprehend the vessels, you conniving little midget! I don't expect he knows of your whereabouts does he?" She raised her eyebrows in a silent question, not waiting for a reply she ploughed on. "Your brother is going to walk in here, see you and think we're trying to cross him!" She slammed her hands palms down on the table, glaring at Gabriel. "Thanks to your families little domestic we pagans have been reduced into bargaining for our continued existence with nothing more than two humans at our disposal!" As she ranted her voice grew steadily louder, and her posture shifted until she was leaning, with her hands gripping the arms of Gabriel's chair, face to face with the Archangel. "But now that your here, we're all as good as DEAD!"

There was a soft chuckle from somewhere behind the Goddess. "Wow, you have an even bigger temper than Zachariah, and I thought that was impossible". Deans eyes, despite the situation were brimmed with tears of mirth. He obviously found Gabriel's predicament amusing to day the least.

Kali however was not. And she turned, all but screeching at Dean. "Silence you little insect! Your brother there may be needed undamaged but you, oh no. I can do whatever I want with you. So unless you want your stomach ripped out of your body through your ass you better keep that mouth of yours shut!"

Any further words were cut off by a harsh shout of "ENOUGH!" issued from Baldur. Everyone fell silent and turned their attention towards the God, whose eyes were alight with fury. "Kali you will hold your tongue! I will not have this meeting descend into madness because you can't control your temper" he gave her a quelling glare as she opened her mouth to speak what was most probably a scathing comeback. Baldur then laid his eyes on the Winchesters, who both wore similar masks of anger and rebellion. "You two" said Baldur, pointing at the brothers. "Leave us, there is a room where you can stay until Lucifer arrives. But please don't try and escape, I would hate to have to sully my hands dragging you back"

Baldur gestured to a door on the far side of the room, opposite the main doors to the hall and right on cue Mercury waltzed in, barking instructions at the Winchester brothers. "Right come on then, this way. Don't keep me waiting, it's best to stay out of the way when they get stuck in. It can get rather...err messy after a while". Both Sam and Dean rose from their chairs quickly, not at all eager to stay in the hall longer than was necessary, besides they need privacy if they want to hatch an escape plan. They followed Mercury, who was setting a brisk pace towards the door, nattering away constantly. "Quickly now I haven't got all night" he opened the door and strode through it without a backwards glance, stopping about halfway down at a set of double doors.

Same and Dean caught up with him just as he was opening the door to their room, following him in and sitting down on the couch centred in the centre of a large living space. They expected Mercury to say something, but they were wrong. He waited for them to sit, and without saying another word, bustled out of the room closing the door behind him. Sam thought it was strange that he didn't lock the door, but they were Gods after all. They don't exactly have to worry about them getting out.

Dean seemed to be thinking along the same lines, standing up he crossed the room, taking little interest in his surroundings. His eyes were fixed on the double doors. But as he got about halfway, the was a metallic scraping sound that ended with a dull sound of finality as the lock snapped shut.

"Shit" Dean muttered under his breath. He turned on his heel and sat back down, looking at Sam before he starting speaking again. "Right, we need a plan and pronto. I'm not overly happy at the idea of Lucifer showing up and tearing us- well me, a new one".

Sam wasn't listening, he was sat with his brow furrowed, scowling at the floor.

"Yo Sam! Sammy, are you even listening to a single word I've just said?" Said Dean impatiently.

Sam snapped his head up with a sudden epiphany. "We need to talk to Lok- I mean Gabriel, he's the only one strong enough to get us out of here".

"Are you fucking CRAZY?" Dean's shout couldn't have been louder even if he tried. "Why would he help us? Why would you even want that assholes help anyway? He doesn't give a crap about anyone else, and besides, isn't he all for the Apocalypse?"

"I don't know why I think he would bother helping us" Sam replied calmly. "I just have a feeling, anyway I don't see you coming up with anything better" he fisted his hands in his hair and continued. "The way I see it Dean, we don't have any other way out of here. Gabriel, like it or not is our only chance of getting out of this shit"

Dean was far from convinced. "And how do you plan on speaking with him? He's out there" he pointed through the wall towards the Hall. "And we're in here!" By now he was on the verge of a full blown bitch fit. His head was throbbing and his hands were clenched into fists by his thighs.

"Well" sad Sam. "That's easy... We pray to him". He looked rather sheepish as the thought crossed his mind, predicting Deans reaction perfectly.

Dean of course, snorted derisively. "You're joking right?"

But Sam wasn't going to be deterred. "Nope, I'm deadly serious. Think about it. If Cas can here you when you call for him" Dean flinched at the mention of his name. "Then Gabriel should be able to hear us too". And without waiting for a reply from Dean, he closed his eyes and starting praying.

When Gabriel first heard Sam's voice, he though he was imagining it. Which is quiet easy to do when you take into account Kali's incessant droning sounds awful compared to the deep, velvety baritone of Sam Winchester. He blinked rather stupidly as his mind wandered into dangerous waters.

'Oh Father I'm getting turned on by the idea of a Human? What am I turning into?'

His self musing was cut shirt however when he heard Sam's voice again.

"Err.. Gabriel? I don't know if you can hear me, I hope you can. You see the thing is, me and Dean...

Gabriel smiled to himself as he let the Humans voice wash over him. 'Ha! He's praying to me, he is actually praying'. He refocused just in time to catch the end of Sam's prayer.

"...Could you help us get out of here? We can't get out of this room and we need to speak to you. Please"

"Well, seeing as you asked nicely Samsquatch, I'll be there in a jiffy"

Gabriel felt shock and surprise rolling of Sam in waves at the reply, he chuckled to himself. Earning a vicious look from Kali in return.

"What's so funny Lie-smith?" Asked Kali, who was practically quivering with rage.

"Oh nothing" replied Gabriel nonchalantly. "I've just got a call to take, be right back guys!" And before he could be called back he took off in a flutter of wings and appeared right behind Sam who was still sitting on the couch. Scaring the shit out of him in the process.

"Jesus Gabe!" Said Sam, sputtering and trying to calm his speeding heart. "A little warning next time!"

Dean in the other-hand, barely flinched. Gabriel chuckled ruefully to himself before replying. "So there's goes to be a next time Sammyboy?" "I didn't think I was your type" smiling mischievously to himself he circled around the couch and sat on the arm next to Sam.

"Well, now that we've established my need for a lifetime supply of brain bleach" said Dean, looking a little uncomfortable. "How are you going to get us out of here?" He looked Gabriel in the eyes as he said this. Waiting for him to bail out.

He was flabbergasted when the opposite happened.

"Well Deano, I was thinking something along the lines of waiting until Luci gets here and slipping you out the back while he's busy with Kali and her motley crewe rejects". He summoned a lollipop and popped it into his mouth. Looking rather pleased with himself. He finished by saying. "Sound good enough for you boys?" He looked back and forth between the two Winchesters, eyes lingering on Sam a little longer than necessary.

Sam replied with a gesture to the back of the room, "Just let us talk it over a minute, would you?"

"No worries kiddo, don't take too long though" Gabriel stood back and let them talk, heads put together, whispering.

As they conversed, Gabe stood and found himself admiring the broad back of the taller Winchester. He noted the perfectly sculpted shoulders, impossibly wide. The narrow waist, wrapped in flannel, bordered by a tight expanse of denim covering the beautifully full globes of his ass. And his legs, which seemed to go on forever, they were almost as long as Gabriel is tall!

'Damn Sammyboy, did your mother sleep with a ridiculously hot giant or something?'... 'Okay so I really am finding him attractive. Oh well, I've admired weirder things in my time. Angrboda for one, and she was huge! I clearly have a Height Kink'

While he was musing to himself, Sam and Dean stalked back towards him. Effectively ending his train of thought and bringing him back to reality.

"Ok, we'll go with your plan" said Dean. "But you better make sure Sammy gets out first you hear me? I want him as far away from Lucifer as humanly possible".

Gabriel mock saluted and replied. "Not a problem Deano, it seems I've had a change of heart since our last little encounter". At the questioning eyes of Sam he raised his hands in a silencing motion. "I'll explain everything once we've dodged the angelic bullet. Yeah?" He got a gruff noise of assent for a reply. "Ok then" said Gabriel, clapping his hands together. "Let's gets to it. Stay behind me yo-" he stopped suddenly, a strangled noise left his throat.

"What's wrong?!" Sam looked positively stricken, rushing towards Gabe, grabbing his face between his hands. "Talk to me Gabriel!"

After a couple of seconds, Gabriel spoke up. "He's here, and he's pissed as hell".

Lucifer 'POV'

Lucifer was bored. The pesky Pagans were scuttling about like insects, running away from his celestial boot. They were so weak, just a thought. That's all it takes. He doesn't even need to see them with his damaged vessels eyes. He can smell their fear, it's rather pathetic in his opinion.

As he stalked up to the dark female, he stopped. He sensed someone else, no three others. Two humans, one if them his vessel. The other human he couldn't give a damn about so he didn't look very closely, his attention was centred on the very powerful and very familiar being right next to them. He had not sensed this power since before he defected, eons and eons ago. Gabriel.

When he thought about it, he wasn't that surprised. His little brother was always misdirected in his activities, always the prankster. The troublemaker. Clearly, not even a few Millennia can change him. It was a waste in his opinion.

"Tell me, insect" he addressed Kali nonchalantly. "Why is my little brother hiding behind that door?" She tried to back away, hate brimming in her every pore. Lucifer chuckled and in a move faster than a human eye can blink, he had wrapped his hands around her wrists earning a gasp from her frail vessel.

"I don't know what he's playing at. He seems fascinated with your vessel, he was trying to convince him to give you permission. But he seems to have had a change of heart. He didn't think we could tell, but we knew instantly when he ran straight to them in their room. He's trying to help them esca-argh!"

Lucifer had heard enough, hence why his arm was penetrating Kali's chest all the way through, grabbing her vessels heart and crushing the spinal cord. Lucifer has always been fascinated by how fragile and squidgy humans seem to be. He could never understand how his Father made them his favourites. Something so weak and... Messy, is good for nothing more than to kneel. To worship those of great power, not amble through pathetically short lives without a care for the terrors and glory of the supernatural.

He sighed to himself rather lamely. Pulling his arm out of the now defunct vessel, letting it fall in a heap at his feet. Looking at his arm he saw blood, lots of blood. Following the substance towards his hand he could still see and feel the red liquid seeping out of the muscle, it was still warm. But Lucifer has more pressing matters to attend to, none other than his petulant little brother. Who had just done him the courtesy of walking through the door.

"Ah Gabriel! How nice it is to see you" Lucifer smiled a warm at his brother in welcome. "After all this time".

Gabriel however, did not return the warmth. Instead he gave a curt nod, followed by a terse "Luce". Lucifer a smile faltered, just a tiny amount. He pressed on.

"Now I hope we can walk away from this with what's rightfully ours, my vessel" he gestured to behind Gabriel, where Sam was standing rather lamely. He continued, not giving Dean a second glance. "And your life still intact".

By this point his smiled had vanished. Replaced instead by a firm jaw, and cold expressionless eyes.

Lucifer knew what his brothers reply would be before the words left those thin, annoying lips.

Gabriel 'POV'

"I'm afraid I can't let you do that" said Gabriel, who too had adopted a determined look.

"You see the Winchesters here made me have an epiphany of sorts, you could call it a Revelation". The Archangel took up a defensive stance. "And for that, they are under MY protection Luci. So you can't have them". He started to side step slowly towards the door that lead to the reception area. "Sam, can you hear me?" Gabriel spoke into Sam's mind.

He felt a rush of relief when he heard Sam gasp just behind his left shoulder. Followed by his mental reply. "Yes"

"Good, listen to me. I need you and Dean to run. Not yet, not until I say so. I'm going to give Luci a chew toy of sorts to distract him while you guys can bugger off out of here. Okay?"

"But-" came Sam's reply. Gabriel cut him off. "No buts Samsquatch, it's not your turn to be the hero." As he was arguing with Sam, he had managed to manoeuvre the three of them around the room. Their backs facing the doors. "Are you ready Sam?... Go! NOW!"

Quick as a flash, Sam grabbed hold of Dean by the crook of the elbow and all but dragged him backwards out of the room. Eyes never leaving the small Archangels back. As they were about to round the corner he sent a mental warning to Gabriel.

"Don't get yourself killed over two humans... And Gabriel, thanks".

"I don't intend to die today kiddo, and don't worry about it. Anytime". Was Gabriel's instant reply, laced with an impression of a smile flooding Sam's senses.

Now that Sam and Dean had escaped unharmed, Gabriel could unleash his full power without killing them. He summoned his blade, gathered his wits and charged at Lucifer.

The fight was spectacular, albeit short. Very short. It ended with Lucifer holding Gabriel up in the air, his hands grasping at the blade which was sticking out of Gabriel's chest.

"Now really little brother" Lucifer said in a condescending tone. While the smaller Archangel started to choke on his own blood. "Why did you have to get yourself involved, just look at where it's got you, hmm?" He emphasised his point by bouncing his blade up and down, making Gabriel scream out in pain.

Lucifer sighed. "I'm truly sorry it had to come to this brother... Such a waste".

Gabriel started to laugh, quietly at first. Soon though, it developed an hysterical edge as it grew in volume. "I hate to disappoint you Luci, but you can't get rid of me THAT easily".

He vanished from Lucifers sight, still laughing. "Now I know you don't really care about what happens to Dean, except that you need him for Michael". Came a disembodied voice seemingly from all directions. "So let me make this clear".

"Sam Winchester is under my protection" and with a final, echoing laugh. Gabriel was gone. Leaving Lucifer standing in the middle of a deserted hotel. With a rather stunned silence hanging over him.
