Child of Music and Dreams: Right! It was kind of inspired by that!

Robin0203:LOL I got that, no worries at all! I got you buddy! Michael did know, it gets kind of sappy here on, Michael is such a big brother its humorous! And cute! LOL Anubis did totally run into the door! That's so cool, I only speak a little bit of spanish because of my grandma, but Arabic is totally cool (I speak english as my native language and I think its boring haha) I love writing protective Michael! Azrael is injured tho! Being on his own he's gotten quite adept in hiding his injuries but now he's under the supervision of his four oldest brothers and his father, nothing stays hidden for long! Not to give details away, but Chuck is not happy with his little angel at the moment and finding that he injured himself is not going to help him in any ways! Thank you so much!

AN: Thank you so much for all the love guys! Means so much! I have a week until I ship out and will be away for a little while (8.5 weeks plus some) until I can get back on, no fears I will be on as long as I am able until then!

Anyway, nervous wreck talking about it so lets get back to Azrael and his adventures! LOL!

"Presence is more than just being there"

~~Malcolm Forbes

The three Leviathan that managed to get away from the damned Hounds (who we are now calling Pam, Stan, and Jan) ran as quickly as they could to their boss.

Dick Roman sat next to Apophis on a throne of his own. They had taken ownership of Set's temple and in doing so had taken ownership of the Underworld from Anubis.

Apophis was seemingly resting, for something that Dick was not privy to and so he heard it when the doors opened and his three underlings ran in. He rose an eyebrow at the sight of them and they cowered from his intense look.

"What are you doing here? I thought I told you to ensure that our prisoners remained secured."

They all each exchanged looks in trepidation each seemingly having this silent competition as to who got to tell him what had happened. Dick Roman was no idiot however and so with their obvious terrified silence he knew something had happened that they knew he would not like.

"Pam what has happened?"

He left them no choice but to tell him of their folly.

She looked at her siblings.

"Sir...We..We were doing our rounds as you ordered...And we spotted..."

"Spotted who Pam?"

She swallowed nervously.

"...We spotted three intruders roaming through the catacombs..."

"And? Did you dispose of them?"

"They...Sort of free'd the prisoners..."

He jumped from his throne and glowered at the three cowering before him.

"You allowed our leverage to taken from us?"

Apophis sighed in deeply before opening his eyes. They were black washed for a mere moment before fading out to normal.

"They are still here."

Azrael looked at his older brother as if he had just grown a second head. He did! Dante and Nero quieted down at the tension rolling from their master in waves. Anubis and Horus had settled behind them and he peered over his shoulder quickly to ensure that they were still whole.

Horus was clutching at the side of the elder Egyptian's skirt.

"You did?"

Michael turned back around looking down at his little baby brother.

"Of course I did."

His fists clenched tightly at his sides, something that did not go unnoticed by his older brother.

"Then why didn't you do anything? Why didn't you stop dad?"

"Azrael-"

"No! You left me! You abandoned me! You knew that I was right and you left me! You never came for me! You promised to always be there and then you weren't anymore! You didn't do anything!"

Michael knelt down before his brother catching his gaze and refusing to allow him to break the connection.

"Who do you think was the one who alerted Death? Osiris?"

Silence reigned over the room. Jody and Bobby looked decidedly uncomfortable being a part of the family reunion. Alex was fiddling with her thumbs waiting for someone to tell them all what their next course of action would be. Azrael stared at his oldest brother for a long time.

Longer then they probably could afford but they would make due.

"You..."

Michael smiled at his youngest brother, "You did not think I would allow my youngest brother to wander around on his own, did you?"

This reunion, as Anubis and Alex were observing from the sidelines, was much different from the one he had with the other three back at Jody's house. This one was much more quieter than the other one had been. In fact, had Alex not been so close and Anubis part dog, they would have assumed that they were even talking to each other.

"But you...You..."

"There has never been a day that I have not regretted what I had done to you little brother. Did you really think I would allow you to be on your own? You are young Azrael? If I could not personally watch over you I would do everything in my power to ensure that someone I trusted would."

What they had, it wasn't completely fixed, that would take a long time and lots of work. But this was a start in the right direction. Michael reached a hand out to brush dark locks from his eyes.

"I have always looked out for you baby brother and I always will."

Azrael looked at him with wide eyes reaching up tentatively to cup his hand around his brothers. Michael smiled at him rubbing his thumb over his cheek.

"Come here."

His hand slid from his cheek to the back of his neck pulling him forward despite the dangerous Hounds waiting calmly at his side. Azrael was frozen for a moment as he was pressed to his brother's shoulder. They stood like that for a moment before the younger melted into his brother. Anubis reached over Horus's head to fist bump Alex.

Bobby and Jody exchanged looks.

They embraced for a long moment before separating and though they were no longer embraced Azrael had yet to separate himself from his brother's side. Michael peered down at the Hounds with a smile.

"Do they still enjoy having their belly's rubbed?"

His younger brother nodded and he knelt down. Nero sniffed his hand, licked his fingers, and rolled over. Michael grinned as he rubbed at the Hound's belly. Dante whined at being neglected and nudged at his arm with his head.

"Later pup, later."

He stood making sure to keep his youngest brother in sight as he stood to his full height once more. While he was elated to have him back in his keeping once more—they were going to have a long talk about following orders. And that would be after Father was through with him.

"Let's get out of here, shall we?"

"They should have been back by now!"

Thoth was pacing the length of the room wringing his hands. Sam stood by with a small gathering of Goddesses watching him in the state he was getting himself into.

"This is why they should not have been sent off on their own!"

This caused the panicking deity to freeze in his tracks turning a glare on the hunter. He had once made a vow never to harm a human, but he was coming to the point that he was willing to break this vow just for the hunter.

One of the Goddesses stepped forward to stand in front of the hunter; to gain Thoth's attention and protect the hunter should he attack.

"Thoth he has a point. They are strong, yes, but they are children."

"Come off it Ma'at."

Her expression darkened, "Thoth."

There was an intense moment that he swore the two deities would lunge at each other. Thoth deflated first though and Ma'at most definitely looked smug about it too.

"Do you think they have reached the angel's brother?"

"I'm not sure."

She nodded, not liking the sound of his answer.

"Perhaps...We should attempt to find them?"

Thoth shook his head. They could not spare the resources nor the manpower at the moment. He trust Anubis to come back in one piece, as well as Azrael, and he knew that they would ensure Alex's safety at all costs.

"We can't just leave them on their own devices! I agree with her! We need to find them!"

Thoth glared at the hunter, but, before he could say anything otherwise another interrupted him. Another goddess stepped forward. Sam had to do a double take at the resemblance between her and Anubis.

"Thoth, I fear that things may have gotten worse."

"How could things be worse?"

"We have reason to believe that Apophis has gained control of the underworld."

That stalled everyone in their tracks. All movement ceased and all talking silenced. This was not a development that they had wanted to hear. Sam stood when they began conversing quickly in Egyptian.

"What? What's wrong with that? What's in the Underworld? What is the Underworld?"

This gained the attention of the surrounding gods and goddesses. Thoth and the unnamed goddess exchanged looks before the keeper of knowledge nodded in her direction. She turned to face him, holding a hand out to shake.

Her grip rivaled his.

"I am Anput. The Underworld is what you would call the gateway to the Afterlife. It is where Judgment is passed among our People, Anubis owns the Underworld, we are the judges. It contains the gates to The Afterlife and Complete Death. If Apophis has control of the Underworld-he has control of everything."

Well that was just great. Could things get any worse?

(One would think with the track record that the Winchester Family in general had he would know better than to ask say such things.)

Anubis is gonna be pissed! Michael and Azrael's little talk anyone? Touching right? What's Apophis going to do with the Underworld? And what's Dick got to gain? How's Chuck going to react when he see's Azrael? Or Death in accordance with Anubis? Lucifer and Alex? Jody in accordance to Lucifer and Alex? SO MANY THINGS!

The next chapter is on the way!
