Nothing More Sinful – Eva DahlGood things do happen Dean
Sam pulled the car door, a familiar screech as it closed with a loud thud "Are you okay?" Dean all but whispered, Sam took a deep breath "I'm okay" he sighed turning the key in the ignition the low growl filled the air. Dean leaned back against the seat, Sam didn't want to talk about it so he wasn't asking, it's the least he could do.
Sam focused on his driving, the rain on the dusk lit road to Muncie, Indiana he could hear her voice in his head so upset and distraught … "Who is she?" "Who?" "Come on Sam, the Pastor saw you at a hotel; you want to leave all of a sudden just tell me who she is?" Sam looked beside him at Dean's relaxed form he was asleep against the window, this Amelia was her, the one he was running away for and he'd do it again and again.
It still hurt him, seeing the pain and frustration in her eyes he'd explained his friend was blind and needed his help and this would keep him away for too long the work he had to do was important and she deserved someone to be with her and not now and then.
Sam relaxed behind the wheel, he hadn't realized how tense he was, adjusting himself he fixed his grip on the wheel he would meet Garth and Benny in Muncie and they would get Gabriel his vessel back, then Gabriel would grant Dean his sight.
Garth pulled up the handbrake they were parked in front of a hotel; "Read me the low down" Garth breathed looking confused at the building, leaning back in the car seat. Benny pressed the enter button oddly, he was unfamiliar with the whole computer thing "Okay… the Elysian Fields Hotel, abandoned prior to a miraculous recovery renovation shorty then followed by a police block off of the entire establishment".
"So what happened in here?" Benny pressed the down arrow loudly "Police were horrified at the scene of multiple homicide, bodies in the kitchen; the party responsible was not found" "Okay I'm interested, but what's some weird hotel got to do with the whole Gabriel thing?"
As Sam came off the highway he nudged Dean out of his sleep "Gabriel I need to talk to you" Dean woke and sat up in his seat the faded green morphing into a hazel again "Yeah, what is it Sam?".
"You and… Dean haven't stopped sleeping" Gabriel nodded "It's not easy sharing this body, it wasn't meant for me" Gabriel continued "I mean don't get me wrong it's more than capable of containing me but it's taking a lot of energy out of Dean, if nothing else it's because Michael is not possessing him, my grace does not fill him it's uncomfortable". Sam cringed "Yeah okay" "He was made to fit Michael's purposes as my vessel is suited to me" "I guess I get it" Sam nodded he hated hearing about Michael, which Gabriel could sense. "We are close are we?" Sam turned to briefly look at him "Yeah we're on the same detour now".
Pulling the car into the car park conveniently next to Garth's, "Alright come on" Sam breathed.
Sam held Dean's hand, he respected that Gabriel let Dean take over unless he was needed, "Finally" Benny sighed in relief "What took you so long?" Sam shook his head they had got here pretty quick considering. "Alright how do we do this whole Vessel thing?" Garth exclaimed, Dean let go of Sam's hand his eyes morphing into Hazel as he stepped toward them "I go alone, I have a ritual I can perform".
"You're the thing we saw in Purgatory?" Benny breathed "You're the Vampire I chose not to leave in damnation" Gabriel smiled "Well this has been heart-warming but this vessel is becoming very uncomfortable and I want to get my vessel back".
Gabriel wandered through the halls Lucifer had painted in blood, before reaching the ballroom, he could feel his grace clench as he walked toward his former resting place. He kneeled down to the wooden floor and began to pray the enochian words echoing in his ears, he pushed his grace to the surface he did not want this ritual to harm Dean. The summoning was working, the vessel's soul was in Heaven had been for years, so he was only summoning the body.
Sam watched from the doorway he wouldn't let Gabriel take off on his own he did remember Gabriel had pretended to be a trickster and wasn't the most honest of creatures. Gabriel stood up and instructed Dean to relax and let his grace go, he pushed out of Dean a bright light rushing out of his chest into the wooden floor where a being was suddenly being pieced together in the same position it had died in.
Dean fell to the ground as Gabriel stood up flexing his hand "There's no place like home" he smiled before pulling Dean up to his feet "You have done a great deed to me Dean, carrying my grace, putting up with me so it's the least I can do".
Gabriel touched his fingers to Dean's forehead…
The darkness faded away, he had never been so overwhelmed colours, objects and as the blurriness edged away he began to make out Gabriel's form "Holy crap I can see" he laughed a happiness filling his chest. "I'm glad" Gabriel smiled he felt satisfied with Dean's gratitude not expecting Dean to hug him "Okay" Gabriel laughed "Thank you" Dean breathed a bright smile that wouldn't fade anytime soon.
"Dean?" Sam called quietly from the doorway, Dean's eyes widened he turned and ran at him wrapping his arms around Sam's neck as he jumped into his arms. Sam caught him hoisting him up his hands holding Dean's weight up as his legs wrapped around his waist "I can see you" Dean whispered tear's threatening to fall "Not having second thoughts now are you?" Sam smiled sarcastically Dean laughed "No you still look like Sammy" he smiled burying his face against Sam shoulder…
