Chapter Six: Hell's wrath is mild compared to Heaven's anger

Notes: This chapter I decided to split into two. Second part should be up next week, I hope. Bringing in more characters from supernatural. Next chapter has explanation with the civil war between heaven and hell. Thank you!

Fury paced his office that he had set up as a temporary thing inside Stark's Tower. He was looking through the data that they had collected from the screens in the caged area. He kept going back to what he had seen in the scanners just before the woman had vanished. A knock on his door drew his attention away from the frozen image. "Come in." Fury barked out and watched the door open and Dr. Foster and Hill walked into the room. "What have you found?" Fury demanded as he settled back against the desk in the room. Foster stepped forward with something laying on a tray.

"We were right in what we saw." She held out the tray for Fury to look at, lying on a long golden brown feather soft to the eye with down covering the tips of it. "It's an actual feather, we think it fell off when she vanished, and her wings were arching up to lift off. I think she flew out of here." Foster exclaimed. "I ran the feather through different data bases and studied its DNA. It is nothing like we have ever seen before."

"Are you sure it is her's and not from a pillow?" Fury tried, sounding more tired than ever.

"Absolutely." Hill confirmed. Fury took the feather and inspected it. It was soft to the touch, almost downy and light, but when he tried to break it. The feather didn't snap or tear, so it was durable against outside force. Dr. Foster was watching him and when he looked up at her she spoke.

"We tried several different ways to destroy it, none of them worked." Dr. Foster held out the data that they had collected on the feather. Fury took that as well, flipping the papers over as he quickly scanned the information on the pages. He lifted his head to look at the two women.

"Well done, but it still doesn't tell us what she is." Foster nodded her head gloomily, but before Hill could open her mouth and speak the door opened again. One of the security guards and ex-Shield agent stepped into the room. He didn't have any weapons on him, at least from first glance. Both Hill and Fury knew how to spot a hidden weapon from years of training, but they couldn't see any on him. The man stopped a good ten feet away from them. Allowing them the courtesy of distance to feel safe. His eyes were a dark brown, he had short spiky black hair that was graying around the temples and nape. His stance was relaxed and open, and he was about average size, standing about five ten. He wore the security uniform that all of Stark's industry wore, and he wore it well. His muscled build was slender but broad in the shoulders, and for his size he could have been a pro football player. Fury shifted his hand to his gun as did Hill. Foster seemed confused on seeing him but didn't offer any resistance to him entering.

"I might be able to help you with understanding what Ariel is." The man spoke, a low baritone. Smooth in cadence without a hint of stress at the guarded looks Hill and Fury gave him. Fury nodded his head and pulled his hand slowly away from his weapon, Hill followed his lead. The man, agent stepped forward and laid a leather bound book upon the table. Pages were marked within the book. Fury looked down at the book and noticed the title upon the cover and then jerked his gaze back to the man. "You should have listened to her when she spoke. She doesn't lie to people often, in fact never. So when you asked for the truth she gave it to you." The man turned to leave, but paused in the doorway looking back at Fury he spoke one last time. "Look for the Winchester brothers, Dean and Samuel and their friend Castiel. They may be able to shed more light unto this than I can with explaining things." He vanished at the doorway.

Fury looked down at the book and then turned his attention to Hill. "I want those men, The Winchesters found and brought in." Hill nodded her head and started out the door. Fury turned to look at Foster who was still waiting in the office. "What are you still doing around here, go back to researching what we have. I want answers and possibly a location on where Ariel Winchester is going." Fury turned and sat down at his desk, starring frostily at the bible laying so innocently in front of him. He sighed and pulled it toward him with a slow tug.

Sam and Dean were cleaning their weapon stash, and Cas was eating a hamburger when the phone rang. Cas looked up cheeks full of hamburger and stared at the phone sitting on the table beside Dean and Sam. Sam looked at it as well, but Dean reached out and grabbed it, flipping the device open and answering it with, "This is Winchesters, how may I help you?" He listened to the other person on the line, Cas cocked his head. Cheeks still stuffed with burger but he was listening in on the conversation as well. He lowered the burger down to the table and then rose up moving toward Dean. He swiped the phone from Dean, swallowing what he had in his mouth he spoke into the receiver.

"This is Castiel, I am the brother of Ariel. You will need to come to this location, I know you are tracking us via phone call." Castiel held out his hand to stop Dean from trying to take the phone from him. His strength easily deterred the two brothers from that idea. They both knew that Castiel would do anything to protect Ariel from what is happening between Heaven, Earth, and Hell. But they would be fools in thinking that she wouldn't have to get involved someday. Lucifer was too strong for an average angel like Castiel, and Gabriel was too much of a coward to fight him on his own. So they knew that Ariel would eventually have to be brought into the fight in order to get Michael and Raphael to back off.

According to Cas, Ariel had the strength in order to banish every angel that wasn't from her garrison off of earth and to keep Michael and Lucifer from starting an apocalypse in this century. Even though both Michael and Lucy are both trying to start one so that they could continue their battle. Both Dean and Sam watch as Cas speaks to the woman on the other end of the line. After a few more minutes of intense back and forth with Cas, the woman hangs up with assurance that they would be meeting in person to discuss Ariel. Cas lowers the phone and turns to look at the two brothers. "I would suggest making this area ready to receive guests." Bobby who had just come down the stairs to state something snapped his mouth shut and glowered at Castiel.

"What do you mean Guests?" Bobby snarled as he lowered the book he had been carrying into the room. Castiel looked over at Bobby, looking down at the book written in Enochian before answering his question.

"Apparently Ariel has run into Shield and is now being tracked down after a show down that happened between her and Hydra agents." Castiel explained turning his attention to look at Dean. "They are coming to ask us about who and what Ariel is." He nodded over to the book and held out his hands. "I would suggest that we get a heads up on translating that before the agents arrive here." Dean cussed as they all scrambled to the chair. They knew what that meant. Dean and Sam and other hunters had dealt with Shield agents before coming into their hunts and causing more chaos because they didn't know what they had been dealing with. Dean and Sam had been accused by SHIELD of having associations with criminals and while Dean and Sam were not lily clean as they could be they were not murderers either. Although, the FBI might have something else to say about that.

By evening a knock on the door alerted them that the agency was already here, Bobby rose up grumbling underneath his breath about the pain it was to keep up with all of this bull crap. Castiel had risen as well and had followed behind Bobby, willing to lend aid to him if the need arose to confirm that the agents were not demons or shapeshifters but human. Dean and Sam relaxed as much as they could, giving an air of deceptive calm as well as a danger zone to odd individuals. Castiel and Bobby led the three agents back into the dining room to discuss the matters. Two of the agents were male and the other was a red headed female with a full body and bright kissable lips. Dean knew who two of the agents were, Hawkeye and Black Widow. Hell everyone knew who the two agents were. The third agent they didn't know as well but they knew that the other two seemed to respect him if the way they shielded him from the threats in the room went by.

Dean stood up and held out his hand to the lead male agent, "Dean Winchester and this guy sitting beside me is Sam Winchester my brother. I've taken it you already met Bobby and Castiel?" The handshakes were firm and not overly hard.

"I am Agent Coulson, I know that Agent Barton and Agent Romanov are both well known by now so I will not introduce them. Do you understand the reason for our visit?" Coulson asked, arching a brow as the older man in the room snorted.

"Well you are not here to get a granny's recipe, but yes we know why you are here?" Bobby snarled, as he pulled up a chair and motioned for the three agents to sit, only Barton and Coulson took the offered seats, but Agent Romanov opted to stand. She was inspecting the room in which they were in and even edged closer to inspect Castiel, who tuned his attention onto her as she neared him and Dean. He stepped forward to block her advancement into a space to close to the two brothers as held his ground as she neared him. Natasha took in the way the smaller male reacted to her, noting that he wasn't afraid of her. Just overly cautious as any good fighter or warrior would be. She came back into focus of the rest of the room when Bobby slammed his hand onto the table. "Let's cut the bullshit and get straight to the point. You are after Ariel because she save your fucking asses from a Hydra attack and you want to know just how powerful she is." Coulson nodded his head.

"In a nutshell yes, that is the reason. We also would like it if she would aid us in our problems since she is powerful." Coulson stated. Bobby snorted again.

"No you are not, when it comes down to beings who hold power. You would rather have them dead and dissected than let them live." Bobby snapped back. A voice from the kitchen caused Bobby to whip out his gun. Dean and Sam also had their guns out and pointed toward the kitchen.

"That is not true, we want to help her." Sky stated coming into the room, she paused as she took in the weapons pointed in her direction. Coulson stood up from his seat and went over to stand in front of her.

"She is not a threat, I asked her to slip into the house using a back door." Coulson assured them, holding up a hand.

"You lying asshat. I don't take well to being deceived and even less to asshole authority that wishes to capture a very good friend of mine." Bobby snarled lowering his weapon down onto the table. Dean and Sam followed suite. All three men were tense since they didn't trust the agents, even if two of them had saved New York and the planet for alien and robotic invasion. Natasha attacked, launching herself at Castiel when she thought he was distracted. He wasn't. He caught her by the throat and lifted her off the ground, squeezing with just enough force to let her know she wasn't going anywhere fast. Dean tried whipping his gun back up but Agent Barton had his out and pointed at Dean and Sam.

"Son of a Bitch." Bobby muttered as he and Coulson were at a stand point.

"Have your men lower their guns and release my agent now." Coulson ordered. Bobby shook his head.

"You attacked us, and if you hadn't noticed, it is your man with his gun pointed at my boys, and Cas does what he likes. I can't stop him, guns and other earthly means can't stop him." Bobby shrugged his shoulders. Coulson looked over that the small male and looked him over, he didn't look like Ariel at all, and they had several differences.

"How is he her brother?" Coulson asked. Bobby shrugged.

"It's an angel thing I guess." Bobby answered, without turning to look at Castiel.

"Wow, okay every one take it easy, I mean we had only been ordered to come and talk to them right. We are not here to kill anyone?" Sky asked as she took in the way the other agents responded to the men.

"These men are wanted criminals Sky." Coulson stated, nodding his head to the two brothers. "We are obligated to aid the FBI in locking them up." Cas squeezed tighter on Natasha's throat, causing her to cough as he cut off her air way.

"You are not bringing them in. They have done nothing that they are being accused of." Castiel warned as he lifted the woman higher. He may have been in a smaller vessel than the red haired woman but he wasn't one to be underestimated. Natasha wrapped her legs around Castiel's arm and tried to twist it, he just held on and shook her slightly. Barton turned his gun on Castiel, firing one into the man's heart. Nothing, the shot didn't even faze him.

"God, what are you." Clint asked, his mouth slightly open. Castiel glowered at the human.

"Do not use my father's name in vain." Castiel exclaimed as looked down to examine the bullet wound. He lightened his hold so that Natasha could breathe a little bit, but didn't release her. "I am an angel of the lord, like Ariel." Castiel explained. Lifting his gaze to look at Clint, "But Ariel didn't really tell you that, did she?" Clint shook his head no, "That is typical of her, and she likes to speak in riddles sometimes. It used to drive Raphael and her other brothers crazy." Castiel sighed, and lowered Natasha back to the ground before he released her. Natasha backed away from him. Looking at him wearily. "Sit down, I will try to tell you as much as I know of Ariel. It will be hard, since I was created a long time after she had been assumed gone." Clint, Coulson, and Sky took a seat, when Natasha was about to decline she saw Dean shake his head no. So she also took a seat, grudgingly. Bobby and the two brothers looked over at Cas who opened up the book that Bobby had brought into the room hours previously. Finding the page he was looking for he started to translate it from Enochian to English.
