"Your brothers will never save you. They never even liked you." Lucifer laughed, slashing Adam Milligan over and over again, each cut deeper than the last. He had lost count of the days spent being tortured in hell. He had died so many times only to be brought back to be tortured more. Suddenly there was a huge thunder crack and fear struck Lucifer and Micheal's eyes.

"Adam Milligan close your eyes." An unfamiliar voice thundered, he obeyed, he wasn't quite sure why but he trusted the owner of the voice.

There was a sudden warmth in the room and it became bright; he heard Micheal and Lucifer scream then silence and everything was back to normal. What the fuck just happened. "Adam Milligan, you may open your eyes now." The voice spoke. He opened his eyes and there was a man in a wiener hut uniform standing over him. Adam looked around the room Micheal and Lucifer were lying on the ground out cold. "That should hold them for a few days, enough time for you and me to get out of here," the young man spoke, "by the way my name is Samandriel, im an angel of the lord." He spoke with traces of excitement.

" You're really getting me out of here?" Adam asked hopefully. "Yes, I am, well, that is …if you want to come with me?" Samandriel questioned, holding out his hand to help him out of the blood covered chair. "Why the hell wouldn't I?" Adam grinned taking his hand. Adam was weary of angels, of course, after every thing that happened, but this one seemed different, for some reason he seemed innocent.

Adam and Samandriel ran, hand-in-hand, away from the demons then after a day or two of running they made it to the gates of hell. "Here we are," Samandriel smiled at him, "This is going to leave a mark, close your eyes.", he added grabbing Adam's arm, pulling him closer. Adam closed his eyes, his head in the nape of Samandriel's neck. Samandriel opened his eyes, Adam was taking on top of him, unconscious, still holding onto him with his head in the nape of his neck.

He moved Adam off of him so he could sit up and search for somewhere to stay, he found the nearest hotel that seemed sanitary and took some money out of a rich woman named Oprah Winfrey's bank account, picked up Adam and went there. Adam woke up several hours later.

He opened his eyes and looked around the room then he saw Samandriel and everything came rushing back to him he got dizzy and started shaking. Memories of the cage came back Micheal and Lucifer torturing him, the smell of burning flesh, everything flashing before him. Then there was someone holding him, whispering in his ear that everything was going to be okay, Samandriel, it was Samandriel, Samandriel saved him, he wasn't in the cage anymore. Adam slowly came back to reality, his eyes were wet and he was breathing heavily. Samandriel was still hugging him and Adam started hugged back.

"Shh sh shh…it's going to be okay, Adam, I have you now, I'm going to protect you." Samandriel continued to comfort Adam until his breathing was back to normal. "Samandriel.." Adam murmured into the angel's shoulder.

"Yes Adam?" The angel responded.

"Thank you, " Adam whispered "for everything."

They sat there on the bed the rest of the day telling stories of their lives and laughing. Adam realized that Samandriel was different than other angels, he was sweet and kind.

They were on the bed next to each other, Samandriel was flipping through television shows and looking at them complexly then changing the channel after a couple minutes and Adam was staring at the ceiling in his sort of "mind palace" because he couldn't sleep. It was 2 am, and one question never left Adam's mind: why did heaven want to save me? is this going to be like the last time? He turned to Samandriel and sat up "Samandriel..."

"Yes, Adam?"

"Can I ask you something?"

"Of course you can"

"Why did you save me? Don't get me wrong I'm thankful that you did, but the last time I was saved by heaven, it didn't work out well for me."

"Well, my brothers Gabriel and Balthazar brought me back to save you. I had heard stories of you and the Winchesters and I knew that you were brought back once and it didn't end well, so, I made them promise that nothing like that would happen to you again. Adam, you were brought back because you didn't deserve to be in the cage, they chose me to do it because they said it was my destiny."

"Samandriel, I'm really happy it was you who saved me." Adam smiled at Samandriel

"I'm really happy too" Samandriel smiled back Adam lied back down, he was suddenly really tired Adam Milligan realized in just the 3 days that he knew this angel, he was already falling in love with him. At around the same time Samandriel realized why it was his destiny to save Adam Milligan, he was falling for him in every sense of the word.

"Good night, Samandriel"

"Good night, Adam"

Then, Adam slipped into a deep sleep
