A/N: OK. Little Note Again.
I am going back to College next week so I may a little Radio Silent. I already have and I am trying to Write as much as possible and finish a One Shot or Chapter or Whatever before I run out of time.
Wish me Luck.
Possible OOC-ness around as this Chapter consists of People I don't Write about. I've included them but never Focussed on them before.
Bobby had to listen to panic from Dean on the whereabouts of Cas and Gabriel. Why or How the Hell would he know where they had taken of to? He wasn't their friend, they'd only met a handful of times
"Dean, I'll spread the word out but I can't promise any results"
"Hello Darling" The Scottish 'charmer' let himself be known
"Crap" Bobby grunted hanging up the phone.
"Pleasant as ever, I'm here to pass on some information, no deals or tricks this time"
"You expect me to believe that?"
"Not at all, I'd be ashamed of you if you did"
"You got five seconds before I fill you with Rock Salt" Bobby drew up and cocked his shotgun for emphasis. Crowley sighed
"I'm here to deliver a message, don't point that thing at me unless you want to use it. Always a tease, aren't we?"
Bobby squeezed the trigger. The Demon was floored, yelling and moaning out "OW! That hurts you know"
"Boo hoo. Cry me a river, ya Princess"
"As I was saying, your precious Angel is currently hiding in an apartment close the "The Blue Rose. The Archangel is watching over him"
"Why are you after them?"
"Who said I was?"
"Sam and Dean, Gabriel told Cas so that covers all grounds"
Crowley sighed "I'm only following up on a deal. They've given their half so being the business man I am must hold up my end"
"And you know they won't come near you"
"Not me exactly"
"What are you saying?"
The King of Hell rolled his eyes "I thought you were the smart one compared to Squirrel and Moose"
"Crowley!" Bobby warned, reaching for his gun again
"Must every Human, every Hunter, be such a complete moron. Buckle up, Darling"
"For what?"
"Your Prom Date" Crowley's crimson Demonic essence came shooting out, somehow overpowering Bobby's warding and taking possession of his body "I must say, there's a lot of knowledge in here, some good, some bad" 'Bobby' pulled a face, making a disgusted noise 'some that want to make me throw up in my mouth. Hunters, you're all just blunt objects aren't you?"
"Get out you Son of a Bitch!"
"Now, now. All I need to do is find Castiel and Gabriel. Then I'll be gone. You won't even notice I'm here" Crowley snapped his fingers, locating himself to 'The Blue Rose'
"Well, this should be fun"
Meanwhile Gabriel was pacing back and forth across the small apartment, Castiel was watching with worried eyes
"Gabriel"
"Shut up, Cas. I need to think. This is Michael's way of pushing us away from the Winchesters back into his arms"
"How? Dean said-"
"I don't care what your pretty boy said!"
Castiel ducked his head, he hated it when Gabriel got angry. "You and Sam became close" He muttered like a child
"What did you say?"
Castiel shook his head
"Castiel, I asked you a question. I expect an answer"
"You and Sam became close" Castiel ground out through his teeth
"What does that have to do with anything?"
"You were the one who dragged me away from Dean. I backed away because I was frightened, I didn't want to let Crowley know I was there. You overreacted"
"Excuse me?" Gabriel demanded, roughly pulling Castiel to his unsteady feet
Someone knocked at the door. It was ignored.
"You overreacted" Castiel repeated
"No, what I did should save our skin"
Three more knocks hit the door
"Occupied, go away" Gabriel shouted in annoyance
Two knocks hit the door
"I said-" Gabriel began
The door was kicked in, the Archangel shifted himself to protectively stand in front of his younger Brother "Stay behind me and keep quiet" He whispered over his shoulder
"There you are"
"Bobby?" Gabriel asked
"Not exactly" His eyes flashed complete blood red
"Crowley" Gabriel breathed, arming himself with his golden Archangel Blade in a flick of his wrist
"Hello boys"
"Why are you here?"
"Gabriel, Gabriel, I'm here on behalf of a deal I made with your biggest Brother, Michael"
"Michael" Both Angel's spoke
"Ah, Castiel. I wondered where you were hiding"
"Gabriel, Castiel. I've come to bring you home" Michael entered through the broken door
"No," Castiel trembled "no, I want to stay"
"Michael, please" Gabriel begged
"Cas!"
"Gabriel!"
All four gazed around to the left hearing the Winchesters call them. Michael used the distraction to attempt to grab Castiel a second time. Gabriel flinched at the movement, gripping the handle of his Blade, Michael however twisted Gabriel's arm and speared Gabriel with a heavy heart
"Gabriel!" Cas yelped
"Cas!" Dean barged in, Crowley extracted himself from Bobby causing the older man to collapse to the floor, unconscious.
Sam and Dean froze at the sight of Gabriel being stabbed by Michael with Castiel terrified behind them
Sam drew his gun up again, Dean intervened "Wait, don't. We're not shooting anyone in here"
"Funny, how that was your first instinct before. Is it because Gabriel is injured or because Castiel is standing in the line of fire?" Michael turned, releasing Gabriel. The
Archangel slumped to the floor with the Blade still sticking out grotesquely, Castiel dropped to the floor to somehow help.
"Gabriel-" Sam attempted to move forward, Dean snagged a bunch of material to prevent his little Brother from moving another inch.
"Sam, if you want my Brother to heal, you must let him go back home" Michael explained
"You'll just hurt him again"
"He's sitting right here," Gabriel announced, wheezing
"Brother, it is merely a flesh wound. I can heal you once we return home"
"You're here for me" Castiel pleaded
"Cas-"
"No, Gabriel. Michael, you are here for me. I exchange my life for Gabriel's"
"Cas, don't" Dean stepped in
"No Dean. You lied and betrayed my trust, I'm doing this for my family, not you or Sam. Michael, I exchange my life for Gabriel's, heal him and I return willingly without complaint" Castiel stood himself up, even turning his head up slightly to present himself in authority.
Gabriel wanted to dissolve, for the floor to swallow him. He didn't want to lose his last little Brother to the Shell-Clam Army, for Castiel to lose his interest in the Human World and begin his training, only remaining a shadow of his former self, a solider, a machine, a true Angel Fish.
"Very well, Castiel. I accept" Michael snapped his fingers, Gabriel was healed and rendered unconscious, the golden blade had vanished. Michael and Castiel left in the blink of an eye.
"Gabriel" Sam knelt down by the fallen Archangel Fish, "Dean, check if Bobby's alright"
"Bobby's alive. What do we do now?"
"I don't know. I think we should find a way to get Cas back"
"How?"
"I'm still working on that" Sam muttered
"The Hell?" Bobby woke up "Sam, Dean?"
"Yeah"
"Mind filing me in?" Bobby demanded impatiently
Sam and Dean held a silent argument, they hated being under Bobby's verbal wrath "To cut a long story short Crowley possessed you and brought you here" Dean explained.
"Where's Castiel?" Bobby asked
"Michael took him home, he exchanged himself for Gabriel to live from a stab wound" Sam answered low tined
"Dammit. What're we gonna do with Gabriel?"
"What do you mean?" Sam shot back, confused
"You really think he's gonna stay with us, Sam? We're the reason he got stabbed and Cas is gone" Dean supplied
"And I would appreciate not being spoken about like I'm not here when I'm in the room" Gabriel sat himself up, cringing
"Hey, take it easy" Sam attempted to comfort him but his efforts were literally shaken off
"Don't touch me, Sam. Cas is gone, isn't he?"
Sam nodded
"Great, that's just perfect. Hey Dean-o, mind sharing why you had Crowley's number in your phone"
Dean contemplated answering but nothing he could think of would justify it
"Hello? Still waiting for an answer"
"It's complicated" Dean tried.
Gabriel rolled his eyes, hard "That's it? Your best answer is 'it's complicated'? This isn't a teenage squabble, Castiel will die thanks to you two idiots. I don't blame Bobby because he was possessed, he probably didn't know you had a Demon in your contacts... right?"
"I had my suspicions but I didn't know"
Gabriel huffed a breath through his nose, pulling a sour face "Can anything ever go right with the freakin' Winchesters?"
"Not in our experience" Sam mumbled
"Great" Gabriel stood himself up and traipsed to the door, swinging back dramatically "Well this has been fun but I'm going to get my Brother back before Michael and Naomi screw with his head beyond fixing. Congratulations you've been absolutely useless and have now become the doom of our future creation and Castiel's too. Well done. I bid you goodbye"
"Wait, Gabriel" Sam stepped forward
"Sam, I was wrong about what I said. Clear and simple. But out of the three of you Hunters I did like you the most. See you around, Kiddo" Gabriel closed the door behind him, Dean yanked it open to see nothing or no-one there.
"What was he talking about?" Dean pressed
"It doesn't matter" Sam sighed, dragging his feet back to the Impala. Dean and Bobby followed suit, leaving the Hotel and it's events behind them.
Extra Note: Alright, next Chapter will have a slight time jump. All to be revealed soon.
