After their night in the forest together, Tevy and Gabriel seemed to cling to each other even more than before. They had a feeling their time together was quickly running out. Gabriel had shared with Tevy his plan confront his brother, Lucifer, much to her dismay. She knew that Gabriel was scared out of his wits, but that he couldn't hide anymore. He had to try and stop Lucifer, even if he knew there was a chance he wouldn't walk away alive.
Tevy sat in Gabriel's lap in front of the bay window, leaning into his chest and gripping him tightly. They didn't have much time. "Gabriel," She said, softly, her voice shaking. "Please don't go…"
Gabriel sighed, looking at the ceiling and trying not to well with tears. "Baby, you know I have to…" His jaw quivered as he leaned in to kiss her shoulder.
"I cant lose you Gabriel…" She turned her head to look at him, her eyes were tearing heavily, "I love you…:
"I love you…" he replied, "more than you can even imagine, but you know this is something i have to do… and im fucking scared, terrified, Tevy, but I cant hide any longer… need to do something… he's my brother and if the world ends because of him…"
"We can live on after human kind together…"
"Do you even know if you can? You're mostly human now, who's to say you will survive an apocalypse?"
Tevy collapsed into his chest, covering her face in her hands as tears began to flow faster out of her eyes. It was hopeless… Gabriel tightened his grip on her and wrapped his wings around them both. He wanted to tell her he would come back. He wanted to tell her that it would be okay. But he couldn't lie to her. He had no idea if he could walk away from a fight with Lucifer. Calming his voice, he began to sing to her in Enochian, rocking her softly as she sobbed into his jacket.
She had fallen asleep in his arms as midnight passed. Balthazar was finally home and leaning against the wall next to them. "You don't have to do this, Gabriel." He whispered.
"Then who will?" Gabriel whispered back, as quiet as he could.
"I know you're only doing this because you're afraid to lose Tevy."
Gabriel glared at his brother and snapped his finger, zapping them both outside in the dark of night. "So what? Huh?" Gabriel barked, anger rising in his voice, "Am I not allowed to defend someone i love? And its not just her, how can we sit by and watch Lucy destroy dad's creatures and everything they have made out of this world?"
"Gabriel, they ruined Earth…"
"No, Balthazar… I mean yeah, they have tainted the shit out of it but look at all the progress they have made since the dawn of time."
"With our help!"
"Oh, barely!"
"You've hid away from them for centuries…"
"I'm sick of hiding…" Gabriel was glaring at his brother, without noticing, he had pulled his angel blade and was gripping it tightly in his fist.
"Gabriel…" Balthazar put his hands out in front of him, "Put down the blade…"
Gabe looked down at his blade with shock, quickly stashing it back in his jacket. "B… im sorry i didn't realise…"
"You're not a fighter Gabriel… Lucifer won't hesitate to kill you either way… And then what? Have you told her you're never coming back?"
"She knows… Balthazar… Promise you'll watch over her when i'm gone…"
Balthazar rolled his eyes and scoffed, shaking his head. "Of course i will, you twat… but shes not going to be okay when you're gone…"
"Yes she will… shes strong, i know she will get by without me…"
Balthazar walked up to his brother and hugged him. "Alright you damned idiot, whats your plan?"
"Lucifer will be in Muncie, Indiana tomorrow night… Kali is summoning me there for some meeting with a handful of other gods."
"Your Ex-fling, Kali who still thinks you're Loki?"
"Yes, her… I can use her as my excuse to the Winchesters as to why I'm suddenly gun-ho to help them kill Lucy."
Balthazar sighed again, "You always did love too much, Gabriel."
