"Wha..." Castiel began he was confused, but it was too late, Gabriel had placed his pointer finger and his middle finger on Castiel's forehead. A bright white light enveloped the two. It looked like a gentle flame dancing around them. After several seconds the beautiful light disappeared. Where once Gabriel and Castiel, angel of the lord, now sat Gabriel and...
...it was no longer Castiel but Cassiel, the youngest angel. He was no longer using Jimmy as a vessel. Instead Cas was tiny, around five or six. He still had raven black hair and bright blue eyes. For a moment he stared at the wall, with no facial expression. After a moment Cas' eyes filled with tears and he tackled Gabriel in a hug. Together the two sat crying in the others embrace.
Michael pulled on Sam and Dean's sleeves and pointed his head to the door. Signaling that the two needed to be alone for a while. Together the three left the room and walked out to the main room, with the giant table.
"So he really is the arch angel Cassiel." Dean said with a short breathe.
"Yes, just as we said. We had no reason to lie." Michael told them in a monotone voice.
"What I want to know is what happened to Jimmy Novak? You know Cas' vessel before that glowing mass." Sam asked the two archangels.
"He is back home and safe. We wiped not only his mind of all of this but his families. They are back to normal. Since Cassiel is only a fledgling his grace is not strong enough to blind anyone. So since he is a archangel he is able to cloak his grace and use a form purely made of it. This is what he would look like in heaven. Lucifer, Gabriel, Raphael and I are also able to do this but we do not mind having vessels. It is a bit easier, Cassie has never liked the thought of using vessels so he has always do it this way." Michael explained to the brothers.
"Oh, I guess that makes sense." Sam said slightly nodding his head.

Gabriel looked at Cas who he held in his arms. He gently lifted him up then sat on the bed with him. He had Cas on his lap as he sat up against the head board. He looked at Cas again and used his pointer finger to lift his face up so he was looking at Gabriel. He used his thumb to gently wipe away any left over tears.
"Cassie, I've missed you little one." He said choking back a sob. He missed his baby brother so much, he knew he could never lose him again.
"Mea'tron wa' bad. I don' wanna go wit' him 'gain Gaby." ((Metatron was bad, I don't want to go with again Gabe)) Cas said looking up at his big brother.
"Shh, I know baby. He won't be able to get you again. I promise I will protect you." Gabriel said to him. He say how scared Cas was so he stood up wrapping Cas in a light blanket and began to rock him as he sang a lullaby.
"You spread your wings and fly,
You might want to say goodbye.
Please don't you are my love,
My little Dove,
Here in my arms,
You are my baby, I will keep you safe from harm.
Listen to my song,
I will not be long.
Stay here in my arms
safe from harm.
Together we will spread our wings and fly,
We will never have to say goodbye."
The song did the trick calming Cas down. His head laid gently on Gabriel's shoulder, his breathing had long since steadied. His face though had still been bright red, Gabriel felt his head and immediately felt the fever rising.
"Baby, does it still hurt? Do you feel sick still?" Gabriel quietly asked.
Cas gently nodded his head, "don' feel good Gaby. hur's" ((hurts)). He said quietly, he was quickly falling asleep. His eyes were ready to close when Gabriel laid on the bed with Cas in his arms. Cas quickly fell asleep, he had been exhausted not only from his wounds trying to heal, but the transformation took a toll on his body. Gabriel tucked Cas' head under his chin and gently hummed the lullaby. He kept Cas close, almost as if he let go he would disappear. He wanted to protect his little brother, from all harm. He knew that it was impossible, but at least if he could stop everything from hurting Cas he could stay with him and help him in any way needed.
Soooo? How was it? The lullaby is mine by the way, I did not find it somewhere. IT CAME FROM MY AWESOME BRAIN! Probably sounds stupid, but they can't all be winners.
I wanted to say thanks to monkeygirl77 and earth fire water wind, you two are awesome and thanks for the encouragement. I really am shy and hate my own writing, reading what you two wrote really helped me. Thanks again!
