Author's Note: Hi! New story here. I wrote it with GACFan13! Thank you lovelies!
Gabriel paces the tiled floor. His almost golden locks flowed as he turned. The hospital smells like cleaner and death. "Why am I even here?" he mumbles to himself. "It's because I'm worried about some girl I barely know, right. She did get hurt on my watch. Damn it, this is all my fault." He sank into the blue suede chair.
A nurse walks over to him and asks him, "Excuse me sir, did you bring in the woman with the knife marks on her sides?"
Gabriel nods quickly. "Is she okay? God, please tell me she's okay." His words race as quickly as his rapid heart beat. He feels his flip phone vibrate in his left back pocket. Ignoring it he looks longingly at the young blonde nurse. The nurse looks at the ground blushing. Damn, sometimes he wishes he could turn off his charm.
The nurse finally looks back up and him and sighs, "The doctors are still trying to put in the stitches. We just need some information about the patient." The nurse held onto her clipboard with a pen in hand, ready to write down any information the man had about the bloody woman she's just seen in the room down the hall from her.
Gabriel sighs, "Look lady, I don't even know this girl. I just met her today. I know her name is Kira Striker. She was born on January 14 1991. That's all I know really." The nurse looks dumbfounded at Gabriel wondering to herself how in the hell he knew all of that after knowing the young girl for just one day.
She writes down the information. "Thank you sir, I'll try to be out with an update on Ms. Striker as soon as possible," the nurse tells him, walking back to the room the girl was being treated in.
Kira sits up quickly in the bed. "Where the hell am I? Get this off of me!" Kira yanks at the monitor cords attached to her. The doctor injects her arm with sedative to keep her calm. "Screw you all," Kira's groggy voice fades.
Gabriel easily hears the screaming of the girl from the opposite hall and rushes to her room. He doesn't go into the room, just waits till he overhears a doctor or nurse saying the Kira is alright. When the screaming stops, he sighs in frustration and hits his head on the wall muttering, "How could I let this happen? Why didn't I just heal her?"
Castiel appears behind Gabriel placing a hand on his brother's broad shoulder. "You did the right thing," Castiel's monotone voice rings in Gabriel's ears. Anger boils inside of Gabriel. Why in the world didn't Castiel come before now if he knew what was going on?
Gabriel keeps his head on the wall and angrily asks him, "Where the hell were you? Why didn't you bother to come earlier?" Gabriel looks up at his younger brother with fury in his golden eyes.
Castiel tilts his head to the side confused as ever. "Gabriel, it wasn't my place to come rescue you all. The Winchesters were supposed to help you." Gabriel wraps his hand around his brother's throat.
Gabriel looks around, noticing the doctors and nurses and lets Castiel go. He sighs in frustration. "Just go back to the Winchesters Cas, they're not much help to me right now."
"Gabriel, I want to help you though," Castiel directly defies Gabriel's order. Gabriel shoots a look of hatred towards Castiel. The sound of wings fill the air, and Castiel is gone.
Gabriel leans against the wall by Kira's room and waits for someone to come out with information or just someone talking about what's happening. He puts his head in his hands and takes deep breaths, trying to calm himself down.
A doctor walks from the room. "Are you Mr. Striker?" Gabriel throws a confused look.
He quickly erases the look and nods. "That's me. Is Kira gonna be okay?" Gabriel rushes worriedly.
The doctor nods and says, "Kira should be just fine. We did some simple stitching, and we fixed her right up."
The nurse from earlier rushes around the corner. "You said you had just met her today!" Gabriel puts his face in his hands. "You liar, you just didn't want to give me information, so you lied about you actually being married." Gabriel smirks at the blonde's stupidity.
The doctor sighs and whispers to Gabriel, "Just ignore her please, she's new." Gabriel keeps smirking and nods understanding. "Marissa, can you check on one of the other patients for me?" The nurse nods and hurries away to another room.
"So, umm, can I see my wife?" Gabriel asked, inwardly cringing at the use of the "w word".
The doctor nods and walks with Gabriel in. "Your husband is here," the doctor says to Gabriel and Kira. She shoots him a scowl.
"Hey, honey," Gabriel plays along smirking. He internally is hating himself with every word of affection.
Kira puts a fake smile on her face to replace her weak expression. "Hi baby," she greets Gabriel, trying to keep the venom from coming into her voice.
The doctor smiles and walks out as Gabriel sits in the seat next to the bed. "So how are you?" Gabriel asked the black haired girl in the bed. "I was really worried about you?" Gabriel says with a smile, trying to comfort Kira.
"You can drop the stupid act now, asshat," Kira strikes. Gabriel looks at her with tiredness. "Are you serious?" Kira asks now genuinely wondering if Gabriel was worried.
Gabriel looks down and nods, hating admitting to caring about Kira. "Yeah, I was," he muttered, not meeting her eyes.
Kira smirked and replied, "Don't worry about me," she stops, thinking for a second. "Sorry, I never got your name before I got stabbed."
He holds out his hand. "Let's do this right. I'm Gabriel. Your guardian angel." Kira looks at the man of five foot seven and smiles. "Yes, that's right. I said guardian angel." Gabriel says again. Kira's child like imagination begins to run off into fields of wonderful ideas.
She shakes his hand, smiling slightly. "So my guardian angel is my husband now apparently?" she asks him.
He smirks slightly. His sunshine eyes meet with her teal. "You know, you have the prettiest eyes I've ever seen in my whole entire life," Gabriel says holding his grin. Kira looks down blushing. "AW, look at that. You're blushing!" Gabriel exclaims excitedly.
Kira looks back up at him, narrowing her eyes. "Shut it," she ordered, trying to hide her obvious embarrassment from the angel. "But, thanks."
"Kira, I'm sorry I let you get hurt. I should've been more careful going into that house of hunters who hate Sam. I should've known they would try to kill everyone who is involved with the Winchesters. It's all my fault you got hurt," Gabriel finally apologizes while popping a lollipop into his mouth.
Kira looks down at the bandages concealing her stab wound and smiles. "Oh come on, Gabriel. I'm fine and I'm gonna be out of here by tomorrow I bet. Hunters are nothing I can't handle. It's not your fault so don't worry about it," she tells him, smiling up at him again. Even with the intense pain in her side, she tries as hard as she can to make Gabriel feel less guilty.
He smiles kissing her cheek. Then, he whispers in her ear, "You are a terrible liar, Kira." Gabriel smiles and pulls out a lollipop. "You tried, so here you go." He hands her the blue raspberry flavored lollipop.
She looks at him wide eyed and sighs, "I know, I know. Thanks." She takes the lollipop and starts eating it. "What's with you and lollipops?"
Gabriel shrugs and slumps into a chair by her bed. Click, click, click, click. The rapid sound of heels coming down the hallway grabs both of their attention. Suddenly, a brown headed girl dashes into the room wearing bright red heels. Gabriel rolls his eyes. The woman's muddy eyes lock onto him. "Shut it, trickster. I'm here for her. Kira, are you okay?"
"Catt, I'm fine, stop worrying," Kira assures the woman. She takes a minute to realize what her friend had called Gabriel. "Wait, trickster?" Kira's eyes widen in surprise and look at Gabriel worriedly.
A laugh erupts from Catt. "You didn't know?" she asks Kira still giggling. Kira shakes her head no and looks at Gabriel again. His smirk melts her heart. Kira begins to giggle, too. "Why else do you think the man would eat sweets all the time?"
Kira rolls her eyes and replies, "I've known him for about ten minutes and I'm on like, probably twelve different drugs. Don't you dare start with me. I am not afraid to fight you in a hospital gown!" She starts laughing again when Catt starts laughing harder.
"Yeah? Well I could still take you down easily even if I'm wearing these gigantic stilettos. Which by the way cost me about three hundred dollars. Aren't they beautiful?" Catt completely switches the conversation around.
Kira puts her head in her hands and lies, "Yeah, but aren't my mud and blood covered black boots in the corner just absolutely gorgeous?" Gabriel covers his mouth, trying to hold back his laughter.
Catt smiles. "They hold some sentimental value I guess," Catt says smiling. Gabriel picks the shoes up carefully observing them. Covered in mud, specks of dark red blood drip down the sides of the steel toed combat boots Kira has owned for years.
Kira sighs looking at them from the bed. "Maybe I just need a new pair of boots," she comments sadly, balancing her head on her hand. "You know, when I get the money to."
Gabriel looks at her sadly, feeling bad for her. Catt grins. "Why don't you just ask your old man for some money? You know that he's filthy rich from work. Your daddy's little princess, too, so it shouldn't be a problem to get some money at least," Catt tells Kira.
Kira looks away from Catt to practically nothing but a floor. "Catt, I'm an independant woman. I can't just go to my dad for money every time I want something." She motions for Gabriel to bring her the boots and sighs, attempting to scrape some of the mud and her blood off of them.
"Kira, you know I can always help, too. I have a large sum of money set away. You know it was supposed to be for college, but then I dropped out. You can have anything you want. I mean what else are best friends for?" Catt tells Kira sitting on the edge of her bed.
Kira gets a small smile, looking up from her boots to her red haired friend. "I appreciate it, but I'm not using your money Catt. I can handle a pair of shoes, you know, if I remember how to get into my bank account. It'll work out some way or another," Kira assures her.
A British voice booms from the doorway, "Guess who, darling?"
