After we had pie, I had picked up the dishes as Cas, Dean, Sam, and Gabriel headed toward the living room.

I put the dishes by the other dirty ones and began to make my way to the living room as well.

I was almost there when I heard Dean say:

"Basically, you hurt her, we hurt you."

I stopped walking.

"And believe us," I heard Sam say. "We will hurt you."

"They are right." I heard Cas say. "You hurt her at all, and you're going to wish we. Never. Met."

I sighed quietly to myself.

Why? Just…..why?

I knew they were going to do it but I still had hope that they wouldn't.

It was silent for a couple seconds. Then I heard Gabriel chuckle.

"What's so funny?" I heard Dean ask, clearly angry he was laughing.

"That's real cute." I heard Gabriel say. "Especially from you, Cas. But I believe it's actually the other way around."

"How do you figure?" I heard Sam ask.

"Because I know what you three do for a living." I heard Gabriel say.

It was silent for a couple seconds, then I heard Gabriel say in a low serious voice:

"If any of you get her hurt or killed I will smite all three of you. Yes, including you Castiel. I don't care if it's so much as a scrape from a tree branch, if it happened on your watch I will end you. It's enough she's living with you Winchesters but if she ends up hurt or dead because of one of your screw ups you're going to wish you never met me."

It was silent.

Did he really just say that? I thought, not believing what I just heard come from Gabriel.

What he said was unexpected.

"Who are you?" I heard Sam ask.

"Someone who's love you shouldn't mess with." I heard Gabriel say. "And you two knuckleheads better not get any bright ideas. Especially you."

Somehow, I knew he was looking directly at Dean with that comment.

"You're an angel." I heard Cas say shocked.

"I knew I could count on you to figure that out, little brother." I heard Gabriel say proudly.

"Does Alyssa know?" I heard Dean ask.

"What do you think?" I heard Gabriel ask.

"There's no angel named Richard." I heard Cas say. "That's not your real name."

"Nope." I heard Gabriel say.

"Then what is it really?" I heard Dean ask.

When Gabriel didn't answer, I took that as my cue to walk in.

"Hey," I said, gaining Gabriel's attention. Sam, Cas, and Dean not so much. "Did I miss anything?"

"Nope." Gabriel said with a shake of his head. A big smirk forming on his face afterward. "Cas, Sam, Dean, and I were just having a wonderful conversation. But I'm afraid I have to go. I need to be in St. Louis by morning."

"Okay." I said. "I'll walk you out."

Gabriel looked at the three of them, who haven't stopped staring at Gabriel since I walked in and probably before I walked in as well.

"It was nice meeting you." Gabriel said. "We should do this again sometime."

Then, Gabriel and I left the living room.

I walked Gabriel to the door and opened it.

"See you in the room." Gabriel said, giving me a kiss on the cheek.

Then, with a snap of his fingers, he was gone.

I closed the door, and headed back to the living room, just in time to hear Dean say:

"Cas, please say you have some idea on who that son of a bitch was."

"He called me little brother." I heard Cas say, deep in thought. "That means he's an older angel than myself."

"Do you know which one exactly?" I heard Sam ask.

"No." I heard Cas say. "I'm going to have to do some digging along with possibly asking Balthazar what he knows of the angels who are here." There was a pause before he continued: "Though, he did say he would smite me and the only angels who can smite another angel would be….."

"…..Would be who?" I heard Dean ask.

"An archangel." I heard Sam say, clearly realizing where Cas was going with it.

"Great." I heard Dean say, not too happily. "Another archangel. Great. Just what we need. Because the other ones were such pure joy. And to top it all off, Alyssa doesn't even know she's dating one!"

"Dean, calm down." I heard Sam say.

"How can I calm down Sam?!" I heard Dean say. "Michael tried to possess me. Lucifer did possess you. Raphael tried to kill Cas. And Gabriel, ha! There's no telling what this guy has in store."

"Sam's right, Dean, you need to calm down." I heard Cas say. "Alyssa will be back any minute."

I heard Dean mutter something.

When it was silent for a good minute, I entered the living room.

"So," I began with a smile, gaining their attention. "What did you think of him?"

"He's a-" Dean began.

"A nice guy as far as we can tell." Sam said, cutting him off, along with giving him a look briefly. "But we would have to see more of him to get a feel for him you know?"

"Really?" I asked, faking surprise. "You want to get to know him better?"

"Really?" Dean asked, looking at Sam in disbelief.

"Absolutely." Sam said. "We would love to know what gets him ticking."

"…Ah, I see what you're doing." Dean said, smiling a little at Sam.

Sam gave him a look.

"I mean, yeah." Dean said, looking at me. "What Sammy said. We would love to hang out with that dude again."

I gave Dean a weird look.

"Okay." I said. I then looked at Cas. "What did you think of him?"

"He seemed okay." Cas said. "But I would have to be around him more to get a better feel of him."

"Okay." I said. "I'm sure since you guys seen him once that he will be around more."

"Great!" Dean said, smiling. "Super."

I smiled at them before walking out of sight. But stopped to listen to see if their conversation would continue.

They didn't disappoint.

"We need to figure out which archangel he is and we need to figure it out now." I heard Dean say with determination in his voice.

"Should we tell her?" I heard Sam ask.

"Would she believe us if we did?" I heard Dean retort. "I know I wouldn't."

"I'm going to go talk to Balthazar." I heard Castiel say. "I'll let you know if he tells me anything."

"Yeah, good idea Cas." I heard Dean say.

It was silent for a moment, then I heard Sam ask:

"What are we going to do, Dean? What if he's a bad angel?"

"I don't know Sam." I heard Dean say. "But if he's causing trouble, or ends up causing trouble, you and I both know what we have to do."

"I know." I heard Sam say quietly. "…..I don't want her to get hurt."

"Neither do I." I heard Dean say. "But we might not have a choice."

After hearing that, I walked away from the living room completely and went straight to my room. Finding Gabriel all stretched out on the bed eating a chocolate bar when I entered.

"Hey, Sugar." Gabriel said smiling at me. "What do they think of 'Richard the traveling sales man'?"

"That he's a son of a bitch." I said, quoting Dean's words from earlier.

"Oh?" He asked, forging fake surprise with a rise of his eyebrow, as I closed the door.

"Yeah." I said, walking closer to him, as he took another bite of the candy bar. "They didn't actually say that to me, but, I did happen to hear everything."

Gabriel looked at me with wide eyes as his chewing slowed.

"Everything?" Gabriel asked.

"Everything." I said.

Gabriel looked at his chocolate bar and swallowed.

"So, you heard-" He began.

"How you threatened to smite them if I so much as get scraped with a tree branch?" I supplied for him.

Gabriel looked down at his lap.

"You think it was unnecessary for me to do that." Gabriel said.

"Yes." I said. "A bit extreme to be honest…but I also found it sweet."

Gabriel looked up at me.

"You did?" He asked.

I nodded.

"Good." Gabriel said, a relieved smile coming to his face. "Because I meant every word of it."

"And they meant every word they said too." I said.

"I know they did." He said.

"I mean it." I said seriously. "They know you're an archangel."

Gabriel raised his eyebrows.

"No way dumb and dumber figured that out." Gabriel said. "Well…dumb probably, but definitely not dumber. I bet Castiel figured it out though."

"Gabriel," I said. "They think I don't know who you are. They are trying to figure out who you are as we speak. Cas went to go see Balthazar."

Gabriel shrugged.

"Balthazar knows nothing about me still being around." He said, clearly not worried. "Like I said, only Father knows I'm still breathing."

"They think you may be bad." I said.

"Well," Gabriel began.

"My point is," I said, before he could say anything more. "They plan on doing whatever it is necessary in case you are….Even kill you."

It was silent then, as Gabriel and I looked at each other.

"…..you would think after their failed attempts previously that they would just stop trying." He said, chuckling a little.

"It's not funny." I said.

Gabriel took me in and he seemed to have sobered up a little.

"They're not going to get me sweetheart." Gabriel said. "Do you know how many times someone has tried to kill me in the past? Lots. Like, so many, I would need eight worlds to put them all in. None have succeeded. They tried, certainly. But look," He placed his hand on his chest. "I'm still here…..however," Gabriel got off the bed, leaving his candy bar on it, and walked over to me. "If I were to pick someone who has tried to kill me in the past, and who I would willingly let kill me, who just happens to be my favorite," He grinned. "It definitely would be you."

"I didn't try to kill you." I said.

"So you punching me in the nose and holding a machete to my neck was just a come on?" He asked.

"I didn't punch you." I began, defensively. "…..I elbowed you…And in my defense, you should have known better than to just touch someone's shoulder when they're in fight mode and have a weapon in their hand."

Gabriel's grin got bigger.

"And we went off track here." I said. "My whole point is, you should have just came as yourself tonight and tell them you were still here."

"Eh," Gabriel said. "That would have been less fun."
