Pain. Burning hot pain. His entire vessel felt like it was burning. White hot pain. "Gabriel. Gabriel, can you hear me. Come on, Son listen to my voice, focus on it." Who? Wait... That was... But it couldn't be... he'd left... Years... Centuries ago. "That's it Gabriel, focus on me. Good, keep focused." It sounded like him. Just like him. All light and power. Focus... he could do that, but it hurt. Everything hurt.
"Dad. Daddy, it hurts. Daddy it burns." Gabriel hissed as his vessel burned, his wings blazing with white hot pain.
"I know my child. I'm sorry, I'll make it stop just hang on a minute."
Slowly the pain faded first from his vessel then from his wings. "There. Open your eyes, Gabriel. I healed you my child. All is well."
Gabriel cracked one eye open then the other. Looking around he saw that he was in a nicely decorated bedroom done in blues and was that yes the sounds of waves coming from the open window. Beside the bed he was laying in was his father in the vessel of the prophet Chuck Shurley. "Dad, your here. Really here."
"Yes, son I'm here."
"Dad. Lucifer. Sam and Dean did they make it out of there? Did they get the keys to the cage?"
"Lucifer is back in the cage with Michael. Sam and Dean did get away from the hotal and they got the keys to put Lucifer back in the cage with Michael which they did. Sam ended up in there with them for a while but he's back on earth now and they are both alright. Before you ask Castiel is fine for now. It's been years Gabriel. It took me a while to find all of your grace and put it back together and yes I got your pagan powers as well."
"What do you mean Cassie's fine for now?" Gabriel asked as he felt an odd tugging on his grace.
"Metatron, he stole Castiel's grace and threw all the angels out of heaven. Gabriel, what is wrong? Are you still in pain? I thought I healed everything."
"No. No pain. Just in odd tugging on my grace, like someone is trying to get my attention."
"Hmm... Let me check something." Chuck said as he reached up and put two fingers on Gabriel's forehead. "Metatron."
"Dad." Gabriel started saying before that tugging suddenly turned into a jerk and the archangel found himself being ripped through scape and time.
Chuck growled an anger. How dare that little upstart mess with his archangels on top of what he'd already done. Chuck would of just went straight to Metatron and dealt with the Angel if he hadn't just used so much of his power bringing Gabriel back. Gabriel was in no condition to fight Metatron with his own grace still weak and needing to build back up. Chuck needed to get his youngest archangel some help and fast. With Metatron having the angel tablet he could really hurt the archangel in a small amount of time. There was only one thing to do. Remove the tint of the mark from Lucifer and let him and Michael know that someone was hurting their little brother. With a thought Chuck disappeared from the bedroom and reappeared beside the cage. Waving his hand Chuck made the cage disappear revealing the two archangels from within. Michael and Lucifer both turned and stared at him. "Father, is that really you?" Michael asked.
"Yes. My son, but I don't have much time to explain. Lucifer come here please." Chuck ordered softly. Lucifer looked like he wanted to yell but bit his lip slightly and walked over to his father. Chuck reached out and laid his hand over Lucifer's arm right wear the mark used to be a low glow of white light sparked in the air between them and Lucifer sighed softly in relief before collapsing. Chuck easily caught his second born and lowered him to the ground. Michael ran over watching his younger brother with concern. "He will be fine, Mikey." Chuck said using the nickname he hadn't used in centuries. "Just give him in little while to deal with me removing the tint the mark had left."
"Tint?" Michael asked.
"The mark it corrupts. It made your brother act the way he was. I just wish I had seen it so I could of stopped it." Chuck said sadly.
Lucifer groaned as he came to. "Father, I'm so sorry. I didn't mean any of it. Oh... Oh stars... Gabe... I... I... No Gabe..." Lucifer sobbed his head buried in Chuck's shoulder. "Gabe. Oh Gabe."
"Luci it's okay I got Gabe. I got him." Chuck said softly.
"He's alive." Lucifer whispered.
"Yes and he needs your help. He needs he's big brothers."
"What happened?" Michael asked.
"Metatron. He stole Castiel's grace and kicked all the angels out of heaven. Right after I brought Gabe back he summoned him Metatron has the angel tablet, I don't have enough power to help your brother right now. I need you two to help him and the rest of your brothers and sisters." Chuck explained.
"We will." Lucifer said as he pulled himself to his feet eyes alight with an inner fire. "No one hurt our siblings and gets away with it."
"What do you want done with Metatron?" Michael asked his own eyes glowing.
"Whatever Castiel and Gabriel want done. They are the ones he hurting the most. Oh and talk to Gaddriel as soon as you can Metatron is using him to hurt Gabriel and he doesn't even know it, you need to get to him before Metatron tells him to kill Kevin Tran." Chuck said. "If you can't stop Gadreel just don't let Kevin die."
"We can do that Dad. We'll help Gabriel and Castiel. Metatron will be dealt with." Lucifer said as he walked over to Michael before both archangels disappeared in a flutter of wings.
