Stepping out of the veil Harry found himself in what looked like a motel room. He looked around the room to find it was already occupied by two men who were now pointing guns in his face with a killer intent look on their faces. Harry knew the guns would not kill him but the shots would most likely hurt a lot and he wanted to avoid that.

Before he could say anything the taller of the two men spoke up. "Who are you? Are you a witch?"

Harry realised that his appearing in the room to them would be look like a form of magic and could not blame the guy for coming to that conclusion. His own voice surprised him when he answered the guy as he had gotten used to speaking to Death in his mind.

"No I am not a witch. I am Harry."

Harry could tell that the two men must know something about the supernatural due to the equipment in the room and the weapons as well. Death had not been forthcoming about where he would end up but he had told him he would send him as close as he could to someone who could help him find his father.

The two men scowled and the shorter one said, "If you are not a witch then how did you appear out of thin air?"

Harry decided to go with his gut instinct that was telling him that these men knew more about the supernatural than most people and if Death sent him to them then they must have a way to find Gabriel.

He didn't have to tell them everything about himself only about his being an angel, he could always obliviate them later if he was wrong. "I am an angel, I flew in or more like I was sent here. I am looking for someone and I was told in a roundabout way that you were in contact with him or you know someone who is."

The shorter of the two men shouted out "Castiel!"

Harry felt someone approach before a man was stood right in front of him.

The newly arrived man turned toward the shorter man and said "Dean what is going on? Who is that?"

Castiel was now pointing at Harry as he asked his question. Dean still had his gun pointed at Harry when he answered. "We were hoping you could tell us. He said he was an angel and he was looking for someone."

Castiel's attention was now on Harry, then he said "Who are you? Your grace is familiar but I cannot pinpoint it. I can however tell you are not one of my brothers."

Harry could tell the guy was an angel, he realised that if angels were brothers then this guy would be his family.

"My name is Harry, I am looking for Gabriel, can you contact him?"

Castiel's eyes widened at the mention of his brother whom he had just recently found out was alive. The familiarity of the grace he was feeling suddenly became obvious. It was Gabriel's, he should have recognised it as soon as he felt it, but the subtle difference in it had thrown him off. This meant that this boy was somehow connected to Gabriel in some way. Is it possible? He stood in between the Winchesters and the boy in a protective way as he put together what was going on in his mind. Dean was a little trigger happy these days and he didn't want to get the boy shot.

The only thing he could say was "Are you a Nephilim?"

Harry shook his head and said "No I am not half human, I am as immortal as you are. "

Harry was cut off by a confused Castiel "Then how…?"

"It's a long story, one that only Gabriel can give justice to as it is his."

Castiel nodded he had every intention of finding out what was going on "So then would I be correct in guessing that Gabriel is your dad?"

Harry nodded as he spoke "Yes he is. Something happened when I was fifteen months old and he was forcibly removed from my life. I only found out just after I turned fifteen in a letter my mother left me that the man I thought was my father all these years wasn't. I came here to see if I could find him."

Castiel didn't reply as someone else suddenly appeared next to him. Harry knew Castiel and Gabriel must have communicated telepathically. Seeing his father for the first time Harry felt overwhelmed. A lump formed in his throat and tears sprang to his eyes as irrational anger coursed through him. He knew Gabriel didn't leave by choice from his memories. He had after all followed his mother to a world that was not his own and stayed for him till the attack. However he couldn't help but feel abandoned by him.

All the pain and misery he went through as he grew up rose within him feeding his anger, the invisibility on his wings faltered leaving them visible to everyone in the room. He didn't acknowledge their gasps at the sight he made, like an avenging angel.

He was glaring at Gabriel when he spoke. "You left me."

His voice was not loud it was more like a whisper that carried to all ears in the room. Gabriel broke out of his shock induced state and said

"Harry?"

He too had tears in his eyes and stepped forward toward Harry with intention of hugging him but Harry moved back and said "Why didn't you ever come back for me? You've been through the veil before why didn't you do it again?"

Gabriel could see the hurt and betrayal on Harry's face, all he wanted to do was make it go away. Harry had forgotten about the Winchesters but was reminded when Dean spoke.

"What do you expect from a trickster? He is …."

Harry's head spun in the direction of the two brothers and cut him off "…none of your business."

Gabriel ignored Dean and kept his attention his son. "Harry, it's only been a few months for me since I left. I don't have the ability to find my way through the veil without Death's help. Last time he agreed to help me because I wasn't in the right place, this time however he was not willing to help me displace myself again. He said it took him too long to get me back here he was not willing to go through it again, especially if you were gonna come here anyway. I guess the time I spent in the veil was longer than I realised."

Harry could relate with not noticing time go by while inside the veil. After all he had been in there for a year and half and hadn't noticed the time go by. Gabriel turned to the others in the room who had been watching them with interest and said

"Do you guys think you could give us some time alone?"

Castiel ushered the two brothers to another room leaving Harry and Gabriel alone.

"I'm so sorry Harry, It was never my intention to leave you. But when your mother died I could not stay there with you. I was ripped back to this world and into my former life. I had no idea how to recreate the situation that brought me to your world and Death wouldn't help me. I could only hope you would be able to find your way here."

Harry allowed Gabriel to hug him this time. He cried as he was held lovingly for the first time that he could consciously remember.
