Connor and Meg were with Kevin. Murphy, Sam and Dean were going through the guns doing maintenance. It had been two days since Gabriel had disappeared with a screaming Castiel. Kevin had given up trying to wrap his head around the idea of God appearing to him as Jackie Chan, and settled down into translating the tablet that God had given him.

It had been completely quiet and whatever was going on in Heaven it must have been huge. Everyone had prayed for both Cas and Gabriel with no response.

"I'm worried, okay Sam!" Dean said as he got up and started pacing again. "No one is answering. You know what happened before Dick Roman disappeared. The garrison was wiped out, empty. There's still some Leviathans around."

"And God made replacements. He brought back Gabriel and Balthazar. The leviathans don't really have a leader that would come up with the idea." Sam explained. "I just don't think it's time to panic yet."

"You really need to learn to go with flow." Murphy said as he laid his newly cleaned and oiled Desert Eagle on the table and picked up Connor's to start breaking it down. "You need to learn to just take things as they come. Have a little faith."

Dean turned toward Murphy "Faith? How can I have faith when we don't know what's going on!"

"Look Dean, you've been blessed with something most people would die for, absolute proof." Murphy said. "As far as what exists beyond absolute proof? Well that's where our faith comes in, and it doesn't have anything to do with the existence of God or Angels. It's that deep down inside we have the conviction to do what we are called to do."

"So you're a kitchen table philosopher, Murphy?" Sam laughed and jumped when the door to the church flew open. The three men wasted no time in grabbing loaded guns and super soakers to face the dark-skinned woman standing on the threshold. Her eyes flashing with anger as she looked around.

"Kali?" Dean questioned, lowering his gun. "What are you..."

"WHERE...IS...HE?" She demanded.

"He's um, not here right now." Sam said cautiously. Curious when the pagan goddess seemed to relax.

"Give him a message for me." She walked over smiled up at Sam and then slapped his face...hard. "Tell him that's for letting me thing he was dead. Then tell him that he very well may end up dead soon. Loki has been branded a traitor. There's a price on his head, and a lot of gods out there who will try to collect."

Sam sat up from where he had ended up sprawled on the floor to Face Kali who stood over him hands on her hips. "Do we really have to slap him too?" He asked working his jaw.

Her face softened for a moment and she said "If you can get away with it." She grew serious once more, "You will also tell him that there are some of us who are not that stupid. I saw what Lucifer did and I know the only one out of all of us who could possibly stand up to him is Loki. That's because Loki is really an archangel named Gabriel. He saved my life, now I have repaid that debt."

Kali looked at Sam and Dean for a second then walked out of the church door slamming shut behind her.

Sam was sitting on the floor rubbing his cheek. "Man, she packs a whallop."

"We have to get a hold of Gabriel somehow." Dean said. "I don't know what he ever saw in those asshats!"

Kevin suddenly ran into the room breathless "I finished the tablet! I know what happened to Cas and why they aren't here."


The vampire dragged the demon into the abandoned warehouse. The demon looked around, there were at least 30 vamps that she could count. Not a huge nest but big enough. She was unsettled by the fact that she was here. She hadn't been looking for the vampires, they had been looking for her.

She watched as a group of vamps entered the area, coming out of what was once office space at the top of a flight of stairs. They were following a male vampire and as his feet touched the ground the group parted to clear a path for him.

The vamp stopped in front of her. He took his time looking her over. "So demon, I hear rumors. Your boss wants the Winchesters."

"Yes," she answered now understanding why the vamps had nabbed her. "He is offering a deal. He will make you Alpha in exchange for them." The demon frowned when the vampire laughed. "You laugh at such an offer from the King of Hell. It is unprecedented. You get to keep your soul, it's a straight exchange."

"A straight exchange?" He snorted. "You boss doesn't know the meaning of the phrase. He has a loophole somewhere even if it is just gratitude. What your boss gives, your boss can take away.

My people have brought you here for one reason, to carry a message back to your boss. I can get the Winchesters but he will agree to my terms first."

"What are your terms?" She asked.

"That doesn't concern you. You tell your boss that I will deal only with him personally. He will come to me and I will discuss it." The vampire said.

"Who do you think you are to make demands?" The demon asked curiously.

The vampire smiled. "My name is Benny. I am already an Alpha. Tell him that I'm the one who showed Dean Winchester the way back from Purgatory."


"Kevin, you don't get to drop a bombshell like that and then keep secrets!" Dean yelled at the prophet who was eating a bowl of dry Cap'n Crunch. Gabriel had deemed the kid's eating habits disgusting and made it a point to foist sugar on the teen every chance he had gotten and the Cap'n Crunch was the one thing that stuck, but Kevin still wouldn't pour milk over the cereal.

"Dean yelling isn't going to change anything." Sam said. "He's not supposed to tell us."

"That's right Winchester, so sit down and eat your eggs." Connor said. "When he can tell us, he'll tell us."

Gabriel suddenly popped into the room. "Kevin! No Wheaties? I'm proud of you kiddo!"

Murphy who had picked that moment to turn around dropped his cup of coffee on the floor not even noticing the broken crockery. He was too busy staring at Gabriel mouth opening and closing like a fish and only managing to get out a strangled squeak.

Meg hurried over and started picking up the shards of the cup. Everyone else looked at Gabriel wondering what had put Murphy into a state of shock. Connor was the one that told them.

"You look like a fucking glow in the dark peacock!"

"A what?" Sam said confused. Gabriel just looked like the same sawed off runt he always looked like to Sam.

"He's glowing like a damned 100 watt light bulb!" Murphy finally managed to get his voice back "And he's got these huge fucking wings!"

"Oh great, you two would pick this moment to suddenly gain the ability to perceive my true visage." Gabriel said. "Get over it. And if you compare my wings to a peacock again Connor I'll stick you in a time loop at the point your mother found those girlie magazines under your mattress!"

Kevin calmly picked up his backpack and reached inside taking out a tablet that he laid on the table. "'And those whose names are written in this stone are among my most beloved saints, and I give unto them to gaze upon the grace of the angels that they be not blinded by the might of my army.' Connor and Murphy's names are on the tablet."

Kevin flipped it over. "'And I give unto them who would shepherd my flock, power over the demons of hell and all creatures of evil.' This is a list of Family names. Campbell, Colt, Singer, Winchester about 15 families all together."

Kevin picked the second tablet "'And I give unto the prophet the meaning of the word that he may see the word and speak the word under the protection of heaven.' Do I have to tell you my name is on this?"

Gabriel snapped his fingers so that he was sitting on the counter. "Did you finish the other one?" The archangel asked.

"The rebirth of the Seraphs, yes I know all about that too. And I know what it means." Kevin said, then waved his hand around the table. "But they don't."

"Cas, Balth get your asses down here!" Gabriel said.

"Dammit!" Murphy squinted his eyes against the glare. Gabriel looked over and snapped sunglasses onto Murphy and Connor's faces.

Meg had retreated into a far corner of the room. "Too many angels in one room for my sense of self preservation, guys."

"Relax, no one here is going to smite you luv," Balthazar gave Meg a lecherous wink "Unless you ask us to."

"Balthazar!" Castiel warned. "Leave Meg alone."

Gabriel looked around the room at everyone. Hopping down from the counter he took a deep breath and said seriously, "Welcome to the Anti-Apocalypse."

"Anti-Apocalypse?" Dean repeated voice dripping with sarcasm.

"It's how we send the demons back and lock hell." Kevin said "It really doesn't have a name so Anti-Apocalypse works for me. We have to rebuild the 66 seals. "We're halfway there."

"And you started it Sammy! When you overpowered Lucifer and jumped into the pit. The first seal was restored." Gabriel said. "Now we just have to finish restoring the other 30 plus that are left.
