A Saving Grace

-One-

Sparks showered down over the pile of rubble that Gabriel knew hid someone he hadn't seen for five years, and he just hoped and prayed he could get her out okay. She was everything to him, and was the only person on Earth who got to see behind that cheeky mask he wore so often. She was the only one who got to see the sensitive, vulnerable angel beneath the strong, brave exterior and he was the only one who got to see the same behind that mask of bravery the hunter herself wore.

She'd been hunting demons, and put up a pretty good fight too since the bodies of eight of them were now on the ground. Gabriel stood in the middle of a warehouse with a huge hole in the concrete that was the second floor, the same concrete that had broken away now burying his lover.

"Lilian?" He called, digging through the pile of rubble carefully and seeing her hand sticking out from beneath it, "Oh no..."

He moved the rest with speed and strength, revealing those dark brown curls and that beautiful face which was coated in cuts and bruising.

"Oh God..." He breathed, "Lil...? Lil, can you hear me?"

Lilian mumbled, her body twitching a little as she was exposed to fresh air and the cold that drifted through the warehouse.

"Come on, sweetheart..." Gabriel whispered, pulling her body up to his own and lifting her in his strong arms.

He moved away from the rubble and sat on the floor, keeping her held in his arms as he cupped her face with a gentle hand.

"Lilian...it's Gabriel..." He whispered, "Open your eyes, baby..."

Lilian made a weak sound and her eyes, which felt so damn heavy to her, opened slowly. Those gorgeous blue eyes met Gabriel's golden ones and she looked confused for a second.

"Atta girl," He whispered to her, "It's Gabriel...it's Gabriel..."

Lilian closed her eyes again and grimaced, the Archangel stroking a hand through her hair, finding her head was bleeding at the back.

"Damn..." He breathed, sitting her up and checking the wound.

He cradled the back of her head, healing it with his Grace before beginning to heal her other wounds, his hands gentle as they stroked along the marks and bruises. Lilian's eyes opened again, full lips parting as she took in a breath and remembered who was holding her.

"Gabriel?"

"Hi, Lil."

"It's been a while, huh?" Lilian said with a grin as she drove down the highway with Gabriel by her side, "Done anything interesting?"

The night was dark, the moon bright and full as the stars twinkled alongside it, occasionally hidden by dark purple clouds as they floated by gently. At least the world was still spinning.

"Just tormented the Winchester boys a little is all, who've now recruited Castiel and King of the Crossroads, Crowley on their side somehow. And Lucifer's out of the Cage."

"Crowley and good old Cas, huh?" Lilian asked, "Hmm. The boys have good taste. How are they gonna react when you bring something like me to them then?"

"What do you mean?" Gabriel asked.

"Come on, Gabe!" Lilian laughed, "I'm as powerful as a God for cryin' out loud. They'll flip when they get a hold of me."

"They'll be jumping up and down." Gabriel replied, "You're probably just what they need to shove Luci back in that hole."

Lilian giggled for a moment and Gabriel did too, the pair of them letting out disgusted sounds at the euphemism they thought of. They were childish like that, both very similar in personality which made them a good pair. Lilian looked across at her angel, turning her attention back to the road but not missing Gabriel's lips against her cheek.

"I've missed you, Lil."

"Missed you too, Gabe." Lilian replied, "Still love you, y'know."

"Still love you too." Gabriel said quietly, the pair of them blushing.

"You're turning me into a girl, candyman."

"Same could be said to you, sugar."

Lilian beamed, her smile looking so beautiful, even in the moonlight.

"How far do we have to go, Gabe?" She asked with a sigh.

They'd been driving for ten hours and the girl was damn tired.

"Twenty minutes after the next turning." Gabriel said, "I know you're tired."

"You're damn right." Lilian replied, "But I'm tired from worrying about you for all this time. Five years without a word, Gabe!"

"I know." Gabriel said, bowing his head in shame, "I'm sorry."

Lilian put her hand over his, taking it and kissing it.

"I know you are."

The dark pink '73 Ford Cortina continued down the highway, Gabriel leading Lilian in the direction of the Winchesters. They had to stop at a motel eventually about ten minutes away from the brothers because Lilian was falling asleep at the wheel. Heading into the room, Lilian found Gabriel sat on the bed and she put her bag down, locking the door and closing the curtains before joining him on the bed. They kissed gently, spending the night getting reacquainted with each other, just the way Gabriel liked to.

They made love.
