"Someone else was here. Another angel, I can sense another grace was here..."

Castiels Thoughts

Mama Bear Gabriel voice

God's voice


The was an echoing laugh that filled the room. Balthazar shook in fear. He wished hi brothers were here, he wished his father was here. Instead he was stuck with an old brother of his, Metatron. He had long since lost the title of brother the moment everyone found out what he did. Balthazar had been chained to the wall by his ankle, and so was another. There was a younger child in the room. Much Younger. Balthazar had his arms wrapped around Castiel tightly to shield him from the psychotic angel in front of them.

The monster had moved closer to them and his taunting words filled their ears. "Children, why don't you just give up? You 'family' had never loved! They never will! Your own father abandoned you, yet he still talked to me! Castiel everyone hates you the most. Not only had Balthazar left you alone but so did your bonded, Gabriel! It just goes to show how horrible you are, you slime!" He spit at the child. He then with a shark yank, dragged Castiel out of Balthazar's arms and to a long table.

He grabbed a fistful of his hair and lifted him on to the table throwing him harshly onto it. He then binded his wrists and ankles as to not let him move to much during what was about to happen next. Balthazar screamed for him to stop pulling the chains at the wall. Praying for them to break, it was no hope though. There were sigils carved into each cuff. With another plea Metatron promptly kicked Balthazar in the face seeing the teen to the floor. After another kick, this time to the gut, his vision began to blacken. They last thing he heard before he passed out were Castiel's screams of pain.


"Gabriel can you find Castiel though the bond?" Michael asked worried.

"Yes but...but it's getting weaker by the moment. We need to hurry!" He said with anger as tears began rushing down his face. With a snap of his fingers he transported everyone to the closest spot he could locate Castiel. They stood together in the middle of the woods. With one look they all ran in separate directions to look where the kids might be located.

Within five minutes everyone heard Dean yell out "Over here!" They all ran to his direction and found a old cabin. Looking at each other they all nodded and busted inside the cabin. They were not prepared though for what they found.

Balthazar lay on the floor hopefully just unconscious. Metatron stood looking at them wide eyed. He held a blood blade in his hands and stood above a even bloodier creature. They all realized with anger the blooded creature, was Castiel. Gabriel bit down on his own lip drawing blood to prevent himself from screaming. The guardian bond that was shared between them was pulling and Gabriel could feel something breaking.

"Metatron! Stop this you fool! Why would you do this?!" Lucifer screamed at him teary-eyed. The other angel stared at them for am minute before a smile creeped onto his face.

"Why? Why!? Because 'dearest' brother, after all this scum, this menace has done to God's creation you all still treat him as if he was the center of the universe. I tried to show you all but you didn't listen! Now I take matters into my own hands! I should have been in his place! I should have been the archangel! Not a lowly new flegdling! Now he shall pay, pay for taking my place, my role!" He screamed at them, his face bright red and angry.

The was a low growl that echoed through the room. It sounded almost demonic. Everyone turned to were the growl was coming from, they looked behind themselves. Gabriel eyes were glowing not the usual bright blue of an angel's grace, but a dark ominous purple. His growling increased as he looked at Metatron.

"Back away from him Metatron! NOW!" He growled out his voice echoed in the room.

"N...n...no. NO! I will not! He needs to pay!" He said he lifted the knife high in the air and brought it down to give Castiel a final blow to the heart. It never came though. There was a flash across the room and the sound of bones breaking. Gabriel was on top of Metatron clawing him to death. Everyone knew this had to stop. Michael got out his own blade and jumped at the two stabbing Metatron. There was a flash of light and the sound of burning. Metatron's wings were burned on the floor for all to see.

Gabriel's growling slowly came to a cease and his eyes had stopped glowing bright. Tired from the take over he did not care, he stood up and walked over to Castiel. He lifted his little brother into his arms. The toddler was unmoving, they did even see him breathing. With a shaky nervous hand Gabriel reached up and felt for a pulse. He felt nothing. Tears began pouring out of his eyes and he fell to his knees screaming.


Castiel was floating, or was he sitting? Maybe he was standing? He couldn't tell. He couldn't feel anything. He was scared he didn't see nor hear anything either. He tried crying out to discover he had no voice.

'Am I dead?' He thought.

"No child. You are not dead?"

"Daddy?" Castiel heard his fathers voice sound through his head.

"Yes baby. I am in Heaven. I am waiting for you and your brothers."

"Were are they? Were am I daddy?! I'm scared!" He yelled in his mind crying.

"Shh baby. It will be alright. They are waiting for you. You just need to wake up."

"I can't! I don't know how!"

"It's okay. Just listen and follow."

"Follow what daddy?...Daddy? Daddy?!" He screamed but no voice returned. He then heard quiet muffles. They seemed to get louder and louder.

"C...Ca...Cas! Castiel! Wake up we need you buddy!" It was Dean!

"Little one we need you don't go" Michael!

"Come on buddy, come back, please we need you." It was Lucifer.

"Castiel! Don't you dare leave me baby! I just got you back! Please baby, PLEASE!" Gabriel! Gabriel was calling him. He wanted to see his big brother, his bonded.


With a spluttered gasp, Castiel jolted up coughing up blood.

"Cas!" They all shouted.

"G.. Gaby?" He asked with fogged eyes.

"I'm here baby. I'm here." Gabriel said quietly, he brushed Castiel's bloody hair off his forehead and kissed it.

"Daddy...heaven." Castiel said trying to get the message across. Luckily Gabriel understood and nodded his head.

"Meet you at Raphael's." Gabriel said to the others before disappearing with Castiel.

"Come on guys let's follow them." Michael said tightening his hold on Balthazar who was in his arms. The five of them then vanished leaving behind the cabin. (which Lucifer later burned down.)


When they all arrived in Raphael's portion of the infirmary they saw Gabriel sitting on the floor. He was curled in on himself next to a closed door.

"Lucifer stay with Gabriel. I am going to take Balthazar to a healer with the Winchesters." Lucifer nodded and went to sit with Gabriel. The Winchesters seeing that they needed to be alone left with Michael down the hall.

"Gabriel? Is Cassie with Raphael?" He asked wrapping an arm around his little brother. Gabriel nodded slightly and leaned against him.

"Gabriel..."

"It's all my fault Luci..." He said cutting his brother off. He buried his face in the older archangel's chest.

"No. No it's not. You did everything in your power to find them. They're both here. They're both safe." He said. He brought out his wings and wrapped them around Gabriel. A second later he sang they're song. The song he now sings to Castiel.

"You spread your wings and fly,

You might want to say goodbye.

Please don't you are my love,

My little Dove,

Here in my arms,

You are my baby, I will keep you safe from harm.

Listen to my song,

I will not be long.

Stay here in my arms

safe from harm.

Together we will spread our wings and fly,

We will never have to say goodbye." Lucifer quietly finished the song. He heard footsteps coming their way. Looking up he saw Michael, Dean, Sam and Balthazar walking towards them.

"Hey buddy, how you feeling?" Lucifer asked the young teen. Balthazar stood next to Michael with a bandage around his head.

"The healer said I have broken a rib and have a concussion." He explained, the healer also gave him medicine to help with the pain and allow him to be in a well lit room.

"Have you heard anything from Raphael yet?" Michael asked Lucifer.

"No, not yet. I just got Gabriel calm enough to fall asleep. He was in fits." Lucifer said said stroking Gabriel's head, who had fallen asleep.

"Well that is to be expected when a bonded's connection is weakened they are no long themselves. Seeing Castiel like this has really hurt Gabriel." Michael explained, even though it was more directed to the Winchesters.

"Do all angels have 'bondeds'?" Sam asked them.

"No, they don't. Only a select few have been granted a bonded guardian. It is rare because the bond is so strong at times it is dangerous. Gabriel's and Castiel's are the strongest in existence from their ranks of archangels. Which is why it is dangerous to mess with one or the other." Michael explained to Sam.

"Damn. Last time I am messing with them." Dean said.

"Dean! Language, there is a little one here." Michael said covering Balthazar's ears.

"Mike! I'm not a baby! I'm not even a fledgling any more!" He whined.

"Please Balthazar. Most angels are fledgling until they are '13'. You are '13' now. Even then after that they are still cared for by a high up until '21'." Michael said rubbing the younger's hair.

"Not the hair!" He basically shouted. It was then the door opened. Within a matter of seconds Gabriel was awake and standing looking straight at Raphael, who stood in the door.

"Is he okay? Where is he? Where's my baby?" He was saying the questions quickly.

"Gabriel calm down." The older archangel said grabbing him around the shoulders giving him a gentle shake.

"He is in the room laying down. I was only able to heal a few injuries. Metatron had taken the liberty to carve certain sigils that even dad couldn't break into Castiel's skin." Tears quickly came back to Gabriel's eyes.

"What else? How can we help?" He asked quietly.

"He has broken some bones. I had been able to heal most of them but a few remain broken. Make sure to always clean his bandages to keep away infection. Keep watch on him for fevers. He will also most likely be more prone to nightmares, so talk to him about what has happened. The more he talks it out the better he shall be." Raphael explained to them.

"Can we see him?" Gabriel asked.

"Yes just remain quiet. He is awake but very drowsy."Raphael explained before walking away.

Everyone then walked into the room.

When they got inside they saw Castiel laying nearly asleep and someone else in the room. It took a moment before everyone regonized who it was.

"Dad/Father?" Michael, Lucifer, Raphael, and Balthazar said.

"CHUCK?!" The Winchesters shouted.
