"Shit." Gabriel continued to stand (bleeding) in the middle of the floor. Cas startled in his chair at the front of the room. He brought his hand up to his face, as if surprised that it was still there. Gabriel vanished with a fluttering of wings. The Winchester brothers immediately turned to Cas for explanation. Cas raised his hands quickly, as if in surrender, "I swear I had nothing to do with it." Neither appeared to believe him (although Sam more than Dean. He seemed to know Gabriel better than Dean. And Gabriel (who was supposed to be dead by the way) just randomly appearing in the middle of their hotel room seemed just the sort of thing that Gabriel would do). But still, neither believed him.

"I honestly have no idea what just happened." Dean started believing him just a bit.

"I think that this is the time where you actually ask 'Hey. Gabe. What the Hell's going on?' and figure out what actually happened?"

"Fine then. Shoot. And why can't you just heal that cut?" Dean sat down on the bed, angrily crossing his arms and glaring at Gabriel.

"Well, you can't just heal a cut made by an Angel blade. As for what the Hell's going on, sorry, now's not the time. Cas if you could do the honors?" And he fluttered off. They immediately turned back to Cas again. Dean spoke first, "What the HELL was that, Cas. You know, it sounded to me a LOT like he thought that you know what's going on here. So... The HELL, Cas!?" Cas looked down at his clasped fingers, "I'm sorry, Dean. And I'm sorry for this." He leaned over and pressed his palm to Dean's forehead.

"What is this song anyway?"

"Dude, have you been watching us all night? That's creepy." Cas glanced up, and with a flick of his hand, they were both clean, and dressed. "I need to talk to you. Down to breakfast. Now." They raised their eyebrows, glanced at each other, but followed Cas down to the diner. Cas scanned the diner, and headed straight to the man in the corner booth eating the breakfast burrito. He slid in next to him, and both Sam and Dean were very confused as to why.

"I thought you ate the pancakes." Cas smiled lightly at him. The man looked up from the burrito that he was devouring, and smirked, "Yeah, well, a man has no choice but to eat the same food for more than a hundred days, then he has the chance to change that, he does." Now Sam and Dean were very confused.

"...Right, as much as I'd love to hear the story behind this, I'd rather get our own table and some breakfast. You said that you wanted to talk." Cas looked up at Dean, and motioned for them to sit across the booth. They did. More through a curiosity as to what was happening then to them listening to Cas. The man spoke next, "Right-o, kiddies. You're probably wondering what-"

"Um." Cas interrupted him, "Face." Realization dawned across his face, and he wavered blue for a second before morphing into... Gabriel. Gabriel spoke again, "I was wondering why you didn't recognize me. I was also wondering why Cas dragged you here, when we just did something to avoid a situation like this."

"I was thinking-"

"Yes, and that's never a good thing Cassie." Gabriel smirked jokingly, while Cas glared at him, "I was thinking, and I want them to help with planning. I think that they could think of something to help us in defeating Raphael."

"You have so much faith in them, Cas. It's really adorable. Anyway, I'm guessing that you're wondering how I'm alive." He tapped them both on the forehead, and the only memory they got was Gabriel explaining how he was alive. His Grace was too tapped from the battle in Heaven to be doing this generously.

Four hours later- of which they got many strange looks because of, Dean slamming his fist on the table, Cas shouting trying to defend himself. Gabriel generally shouting loudly for most of the time, Sam having to stand up to calm the rest of the group down, as they were all yelling at each other- they were finally able to work together a half of a plan. They'd all decided that there was no way that they would invade Heaven again, while that had the element of surprise, it utterly failed last time. And they couldn't think of any way to make it better. They decided quickly that they couldn't just walk up and declare themselves. And Cas definitely couldn't go one-on-one with Raphael, because Raphael was still an Archangel. So they decided that a trap was the best thing to do. And they would need Chuck. And bless him if he actually decided to do it.

The plan was this: They would find Chuck, and take him somewhere in a large warehouse. They would put circles of holy oil almost everywhere, but not so that when they lit one, they would all light. They would stick a random creature in the room (something not too dangerous, but defiantly life threatening). Raphael would come down to save him, and then once he stepped in one of the rings of holy fire, they would light that ring, and he would be trapped. Then Cas would get him with the Angel blade. It was a simple enough plan. So it should work. Hopefully.

A/N: I am BACK in the writing mood! I enjoyed writing this chapter. So... What do you guys thing? The plan realistic enough for you? I was rather impressed with it myself, but... Sorry that it was mostly complete filler until the last two paragraphs, but that how it works in the writing business. I'll absolutely LOVE writing the next chapter though, and I hope to get it up in less time that it took me to put this chapter up. Sorry bout the wait on this, and really on all of my stories. The problem is, when I want to write, it's around midnight and I have no access to a computer. But that shall change, this year my school is providing us with tablets, so hopefully I'll be able to write on that! Tell me what you think, come on, let's get me to 20 reviews at least (although more then that would be INCREDIBLE!) Please like and comment. Thanks!
