Gabriel sighed and sat down on the floor. 'Lyra... people change, I've changed-'he looked thoughtful. 'Not too much but a little bit.' Lyra stood over him, arms tightly folded in defiance. 'Ha! As if.' Gabe groaned, shaking his head. 'You wanted to know the truth; well I'm telling it you!' Lyra heard the sincerity in his voice and sat down next to him with a sigh. 'When I was born, or created- whichever you prefer, I was "Born" a warrior.' Lyra frowned. 'A warrior? Weren't you just a kid?' Gabe laughed. 'I was never a kid. I was born an adult in human terms.' Lyra looked down, shocked. 'That's-?' Gabriel smiled. 'Horrible? Stupid? Freaking mad?' he laughed. 'We never thought anything of it. It was just like- Lucifer, Michael, me and Raphael; we didn't know about children until Father made the first humans.' Then he rolled his eyes. 'Father said they were his "Finest creations"' he laughed. 'Lucifer didn't seem to think so- he refused to bow down to them as they rest of us had been made to.' Lyra nodded. 'He got thrown in hell?' Gabe nodded. 'Yup.' Then he sighed. 'With Lucy gone, some of the other angels who agreed with Lucifer thought they'd be clever and go to earth and screw some girls...' he looked kinda guilty. 'Well, I dared them, but they didn't have to do it.' Lyra gaped. 'You dared them? What the hell were you playing at?' Gabe laughed sheepishly. 'Umm... young?' Lyra shook her head. 'Typical.' Gabriel chewed his lip for a second, and then continued. 'So yup- Sammy boy went down to earth with his Power Rangers and made out.' Then he met Lyra's eyes. 'Then came the Nephilim.' Lyra nodded, understanding to a certain extent. 'They were- uh, how can I describe it? Monsters. They destroyed everything they touched. More powerful than their fathers, they became so powerful God told me to take some others down and eradicate them.' Lyra raised an eyebrow. 'Did He know it was your fault?' Gabe shrugged. 'No idea- but the Lucifer incident did shake Him up for a while.' His eyes widened. 'Oops, if he did know, Lucy would have had a new cellmate.' He grinned. 'Guess He didn't.' Lyra scowled. 'Think that's something to be proud of?' he rolled his eyes and continued. 'So yeah, we destroyed very nearly all the Nep's, but God decided to send a flood down to make sure we'd done our jobs. Phaa!' he snorted at the end. 'It was like he didn't trust us.' He readjusted his crossed ankles. 'Not long after, God disappeared- we never found him. We searched everywhere, even Hell and Earth.' He shrugged. 'So biggy boy Michael took over, and everything changed.' Gabe sighed. 'It was chaos at times- angel against angel- I'd had enough. The archangels including me were only three now Lucy was gone, and we couldn't keep the peace.' He stared at the ceiling. 'So I left.' Lyra frowned. 'They just let you leave? Just like that?' Gabe shrugged. 'They tried to find me, but I'm pretty good at hiding. Eventually they gave up-' he looked thoughtful. 'Thousands of years ago.' Lyra laughed. 'You really are an old man.' Gabe pouted, smoothing his hair back, then grinned. 'Young at heart.' Lyra rolled her eyes, and then asked. 'How did you hide?' Gabriel laughed slightly, then said. 'Have you ever... um... heard of Loki?' Lyra nodded. 'The Trickster?' Gabe nodded. Lyra frowned. 'What about him?' Gabe sighed exasperatedly. 'Hello? At your service?' Lyra laughed. 'More like the Candyman.' Gabe's eyes lighted up. 'I love candy!' Lyra shook her head. 'Figures.' Gabe frowned. 'Why? Whats wrong with that?' Lyra smirked. 'I always thought you were on drugs.' Gabriel laughed. 'If chocolate counts, then yup- addicted!' Lyra shook her head and thought. 'My families insane. Gods my granddad and Lucifer's my uncle. What next?'
