Lady Alseroen appeared out of nowhere on the stage and started to through and catch a gold ring. "Damn! Now I know why he keeps on pining for this ring! It's great to escape hard spots." She paused to look around at the place that she had appeared in before she smiled sheepishly. "Sorry about that I was watching HDOS, and boy was it entertaining. Right on with the chap I 'll go and contemplate the pure and undiluted awesomeness of Saurons ring and what I can get away with."

Lady Alseroen left the stage with an evil look and grin on her face.

Chapter II

Michael sat behind his desk knowing that soon Lucifer would re-join the host, yet he was worried about the state of mind the he would be in. The last time him and the other Angels had seen him he was broken, an Angel that had lost himself to grief at the death of his Sub.

Michael sighed as he continued to persevere in doing the paperwork that was on his desk and he wondered neither for the first nor the last time: how in the name of his father had Azrael copped doing the amount of paperwork he had to do.

That thought always made him feel a stab of guilt, as it was his fault that Lucifer hadn't been keeping as close an eye on the Angel of Death as he used to, he was also the cause of loading Gabriel with so much work that he had to ignore Azrael and Lucifer. He sighed as he remembered the day that he had learned that Azrael was dead.

FLASHBACK

Michael was leaning over a table with Raphael in a plaza on his side of heaven, making plans on the cities defenses in case his younger brother Lucifer decided to attack, when suddenly a horn sounded, alerting them to the fact that an Angel from the other side was approaching.

A few minutes later Michael saw exactly who had come over to 'his' side of the city, it was Lucifer.

But Lucifer wasn't acting in a way that Michael was used to, in fact his younger brother had his head bowed and he wasn't walking he was stumbling along; when Lucifer looked up and met his older brothers eyes, Michael saw that his younger brother was crying as tears were falling freely from his eyes.

When Lucifer was close enough he fell forward causing Michael to catch his brother, once he held him Michael wrapped his arms around Lucifer, hugging him. Michael looked up again and saw that Gabriel was in a similar state to Lucifer, but he was clinging onto Raphael.

"He's gone." Lucifer kept repeating this mantra.

"Who's gone?" Michael asked but he didn't get any answer making him ask again. "Lucifer tell me who is gone."

Lucifer looked up at Michael and then said in a broken voice. "He's gone. Azrael's gone."

Michael looked stunned, it took him a moment to process what Lucifer had just said. Before saying desperately "What do you mean Azrael's gone? Lucifer tell me what do you mean?!"

"He's dead, we searched everywhere but we could not find him." Lucifer replied.

Michael looked at Lucifer then at the Angels that had appeared as he questioned his brother, and he saw that all of their were wide eyed.

FLASHBACK END

Then there was a knock on his door shaking him out of his memories, he bade the one that knocked to enter his office. it turned out to be Raphael.

"Brother." The other Archangel said as a greeting, Michael smiled and motioned for the dark skinned Angel to sit.

"Greetings brother. To what do I owe this visit?" Michael inquired, as Raphael sat down.

Raphael looked at Michael for a second before he looked out of the window, which was in his brother's office with a sigh, he didn't know how his brother and leader would react to the information that he had just found out from a Reaper that had been sent by Death, he looked back at Michael and steeled himself for any reaction that his brother might have.

"Today a Reaper visited Heaven and asked to see me; the Reaper was Serinle the Reapers head Healer." Raphael started. "She came and informed me that the one that we believed to be dead was in fact very much alive and well, although without his memories but that he was regaining them."

Michael glares at Raphael, telling his brother without words to 'spit it out' as the humans say.

Raphael cleared his throat before he said. "Serinle says that Azrael is still alive."

Michael's office descended into absolute silence, as Michael stared at Raphael incredulously.

Harry briefed the Winchesters on what they were likely hunting that evening once they had eaten dinner.

"So the most likely candidate is a Trickster?" Dean asked their host.

"Yes that is the most likely one that your hunting. I would recommend that you call in back up as well." Harry said.

Sam and Dean look at each other for a moment before simultaneously nodding; Sam got up and moved to another room presumably to make a call, whilst Dean stayed with Harry.

"So tell me what made you become a researcher for Hunters?" Dean asked.

Harry looked at his guest before he sighed and went to one of the kitchen cupboards and moves several items to the side and pushes a button making a fake panel in his kitchen wall to slide to the side revealing a hidden alcohol stash, Harry then out all the items in their places and walks to the stash. He grabbed a bottle of really good whiskey and poured two glasses before he placed the bottle back into the stash cupboard.

He went back to the table and set one glass in front of Dean, as Harry had been getting them drinks Dean had stared in shocked surprise at the fact that one of the Hunters most prized researches had a hidden alcohol stash, but he snapped out of it when his host set a glass in front of him.

"I tend to be a little more truthful if I have a glass of really good whisky in front of me." Harry explained to his guest.

"The story starts on Halloween 1981, a man came and killed my mother and father but when he tried to kill me he couldn't, no one really knows why he couldn't, but any way because of him I was sentenced to ten years and six summers of Hell, and I don't mean the real Hell, during the time that I hunted down the man that killed my parents I realized that I couldn't bear the thought of innocents being hurt so I started to study all sorts of things but what made me turn to researching thing for Hunters was a run in with a Demon, it tried to make me make a deal but I wouldn't it got angry and was about to kill me when a Hunter appeared out nowhere and exorcised the thing, when I asked about everything the Hunter told me everything, so I decided that once I had killed my parents murderer I would dedicate the rest of my life to helping Hunters saving lives, but I didn't want to go after the things myself as I was tired of fighting so I became a researcher." Harry said throughout his story, in which he bent the truth a lot, he had drank the entire glass of whisky.

Dean sat there in silence listening to Harry's story, and felt that he had no right to complain about his life but Harry on the other hand truly had the right. At some point Sam had walked in and had heard some of Harry's story.

"Well Bobby's on his way; said he would be here by tomorrow evening so it looks like the Trickster should enjoy his last day on this earth." Sam said making his presence known.

Both Harry and Dean jumped not having known that Sam had finished his call. Dean nodded to Sam showing that he had heard, whilst Harry just said "Right I'm going to go to bed." As he got up and left the table.

"For such a nice guy I would have never suspected that he had such a dark past." Sam commented, whilst all Dean could do was nod.

"Well there's nothing that we can do tonight or tomorrow, so we may as well rest up as much as we can." Sam said and Dean got up and followed his brother to the room that they were sharing.

Death was having too much fun watching his son, that it should be illegal. He had sent the head Reaper Healer to let the other Angels know that his son was not dead but nothing more.

He thought about all the ways that the reunion between his son and his Sub-Dom, and some of them he had to admit they made him laugh. Death frowned when he felt that God was calling him. Death made his way to where God wanted meet.

"What do you want?" Death asked as soon as he had appeared in front of God.

"I called you to tell you that Lucifer's self-imposed punishment is soon to be over, and as I'm sure you know Azrael and Gabriel are soon to meet again and when they do meet our son will gain his memories back." God said.

"Yes I know about their meeting and I'm quite enjoying the various scenarios that are currently going through my head." Death said with amusement clear in his tone.

God laughed at what Death was insinuating.

At the same time that God and Death were meeting, an entity entered Hell undetected. Whatever this being was it was powerful enough to not be seen or sensed by Hells inhabitants, it made its way to the cage in which the Archangel Lucifer resided.

Once it was there it stopped and considered what it was about to do, it was here to make sure that the Apocalypse happened and to do that it had to search its targets mind for a way to make that happen and then change what needed to be changed.

So it did just that he found out that the only way to make sure the Apocalypse happen was to add a tiny bit of information about the Archangels Subs death, it made it so that Lucifer believed that the Humans had killed Azrael, it also made sure that the Archangel thought that the Humans had killed Azrael on Michaels orders.

The entity backed away sure that what it wanted to happen would. But the thing is the entity had no idea that Azrael had fallen willingly, and at the same time creating eleven beings that would defend their creator/master, and that's not even counting the Reapers under Death's control or the animals that Azrael's grace had created and had reproduced, it also had no idea that Azrael was considered to be the baby brother of the First Demon, which meant that every Demon would protect Azrael just to get into the First good graces also it had not counted on God being pissed of that a being had attempted to destroy the world that he ruled over, causing him to assemble every Angel that was in existence to retaliate against the threat.

In short the entity had no idea how well loved Azrael was and how many beings cared about his well being.

Magic watched as the entity left the cage in Hell, after Changing the memories of her sons Dom; she couldn't do anything as the Laws that governed the Primal's prohibited her, in this instance what had happened was something that had to happen, which in other words meant that she couldn't interfere.

"I'm sorry my son that I cannot help you." She muttered and made sure that what the entity had done was reversible before she left Hell and made her way to Heaven.

Once in Heaven she made her way towards the house of one of the Archangels, when she arrived she entered the home and entered the lounge where she sat facing the unlit fire.

She had to wait for an hour before Uriel arrived home, it took the owner a while before he realized that he was not alone, he turned with sword in hand and nearly dropped the weapon when he saw who was in his home.

"Lady Magic." Uriel said in shocked surprise. "To what do I owe your presence?"

Magic watched the Archangel that she had chosen to watch out for her son until he recovered his grace and his full powers, even if he would have one of his mates there to protect him but then again if he had succeeded in hiding what he was about to do from his mates he could possibly do it again.

"Uriel I have a job for you." She stated firmly.

"And what job would that be, My Lady?" Uriel asked.

"As you are the only one to know that Azrael is not only the Angel of Death but also the Angel of Magic; I would like it if you watched over him until he regains his grace and other powers. Currently he goes by the name of Harry Potter." Magic explained, what she wanted Uriel to do and who he had to watch.

"But Azrael's dead." Uriel denied, causing the primal to sigh in exasperation whist thinking Maybe he went a little too far in faking his death, to make Angels automatically deny that he lives.

"He is not dead Uriel; he fell willingly with both of his Fathers permission, when he explained that he was tired of all the fighting that had been going on." Magic explained patiently.

Uriel stared at the Primal with a spark of hope in his eyes, Azrael returning would solve a lot of problems and misunderstandings. "My Lady I hope that what you say is true; Azrael was… is the most valued member of heaven able to make anyone get along or at least cooperate to some extent."

"I know that is why I'm asking you to watch over him, even if he is close to meeting on of his soul mates; it seems that he is able to hide something from them if he is determined enough." Magic said exasperatedly with a smile on her face, and then she said. "That is why I want you to watch over him but if there are any private moments between him and his Sub-Dom you will look away, I don't want to have my son to ignore me when he finds out that I asked you to watch him."

At that Uriel sighed in relief as he was sure that Lucifer and Gabriel would have his wings if he saw more than what they allowed others to see of their Sub.

Lady Alseroen came back onto the stage, and observed the gathered crowd for a minute. "Well that is it for this chapter. I would like to say that I'm surprised at the amount of attention the other chapter got but I'm pleased with the three reviews I got."

Here the author paused before continuing. "You know it wouldn't kill you lot to leave a review every once in a while. So please do any comment shall be taken to heart whilst any flamers shall be dealt with accordingly."
