A/N: I typed this up after reading the fanfic entitled: The Holy Virgin CRISIS! I don't remember whom it's written by but I love it so far and I just had to type up my own version. I just hope it's not too similar to hers. I have a bad tendency of doing that.
Disclaimer: I do not own Supernatural. Nor do I own any of its [Supernatural's] affiliates. The CW and Kripke own it- not me. For I am neither the CW or Kripke.
Warnings: There's won't be anything suuuuuper bad in this. Well, except language 'cause I've got a mouth that hasmade a sailor blush and I end up writing it into pretty much everything. It helps that Dean curses too!

Gabriel never thought he'd be one of the angels that God brought back. Ever. He was selfish, violent, crazy, and had ditched Heaven to go play with the Pagan's. But, here he was, in Tualatin, Oregon, flexing his fingers and adjusting his jacket. Alive.
Glancing around he saw that the rest of the world was alive too. I'll be dammed, Gabriel thought, those boys actually did it. He knew Lucifer wasn't walking the earth because he would have felt it. It would have reverberated through his entire being.
"What are you planning?" Gabriel asked the sky, shaking his head in disbelief. His stomach rumbled and Gabriel quirked an eyebrow. Well, he thought as he made his way into Sherry's Diner, you can't find life meaning on an empty stomach.
Gabriel took a seat at the counter and glanced over the menu. One of everything sounded good but he'd stick with a large order of Belgium waffles. A teenage girl with chocolate brown hair that fell over her shoulders and down her back in waves, bright neon blue eyes, and a gorgeous smile skipped over to him, "Hi, I'm Izzy, what can I get for ya today?" She asked, her southern accent was like silk to Gabriel's ears.
Sure, she was the first person he'd spoken to since he had come back but that shouldn't have made him so… affected by her. He still remembered the voices of the Winchester's, the humans he knew Before (he separated his life into two sections. Before he died and After he came back. This was After) and all the other's in the centuries he'd lived and those grated on his nerves.
He never liked hearing humans speak. Their voices were gravely and harsh but this one… he didn't know what it was about her that made him so drawn to her but her voice was a good place to start.
"I'll have the berry-tastic Belgium waffles and a chocolate and peanut butter shake." Gabriel said, handing her his menu. Izzy smiled at him, and nodded.
"Alright, I'll get that in for ya right away. Can I get you anythin' else while you're waitin'?" She asked, her were eyes wide and caring. As if she were actually hoping she could help him and that she wasn't angling for a better tip. This was something Gabriel hadn't encountered in a very long time.
True human kindness was something he saw so rarely anymore. Humans these days ('these days' meaning Before he died via impalement by Lucifer) were all about number one. Gabriel smiled, "I'd love a newspaper. Been out of it for a while and I'd like to catch up."
Izzy nodded, her hair bouncing as though it wanted to help too. She turned away and grabbed a newspaper from besides the register and placed it down in front of him, "Have a good time catching up. Things haven't been too great lately but I'm sure it'll all get better soon." She waved as she left him with another dazzling smile to go to her other tables.
As she left, though, everything felt… dimmed in comparison. The other waiters and waitresses were wearing fake smiles and laughing fake laughs. It seemed like the only reason the Sherry's had light was because of the glowing, pureness of Izzy's soul.
Gabriel forced himself to read the newspaper and not watch Izzy move. Yeah, that didn't sound creepy and/or stalkerish at all. What he did read, though, made his heart hammer thickly in his chest. The Middle East was in an uprising, Japan had a devastating tsunami, and the Super Moon was causing all sorts of anxiety and chaos.
What. The. Hell.
