Final Threshold

"I'm afraid this is as far as I can go." Crowley gave them a friendly nod.

Dean nodded. "See you around." He yanked the door open.

Aria nodded. "We owe you one, maybe." She followed Dean inside.

"Bullocks I need a drink." Crowley muttered before vanishing.

By the time Aria and Dean reached the study hall, all hell broke loose.

Spencer sat against the wall in fear, Sam and Metatron were fighting, and Gadreel has Castiel on his knees with scars on his face.

"Stop!" Aria yelled.

Cas stared blankly at her. "Aria...you're human."

Metatron flung distracted Sam against the wall.

"Sam!" Spencer reached for him.

"I thought I took care of you, you parasite. Looks like I have to try again." Metatron cracked his knuckles.

Spencer gasped. "Aria, run!"

Metatron flung Aria back as well as Dean, whom was behind her.

Aria landed on Dean, whom landed on the stairs.

"You alright, baby?" Dean asked; helping her up.

Aria nodded, fixing her hair. "Sick 'em, Dean."

Dean's eyes turned black. "With pleasure." He growled.

"Dean, don't do this! You have to resist the darkness!" Sam cried out.

Dean looked at Sam sympathetically. "I have to, Sammy."

Aria stared at Gadreel. "I would like to have my grace back now, please." She walked towards him, holding her hand out.

Gadreel shook his head. "I don't think so, Aria."

Spencer stood up. "Gadreel, you have to stop this." Her voice cracked.

Gadreel looked at Spencer. "Spencer, please stay out of this." He whispered.

Aria chuckled. "I'm sorry but I wasn't asking."

Metatron looked at Dean. "I'm waiting, demon scum." He warmed his hands up.

Dean snapped. "You dick bag!" He ran towards Metatron in full speed, exchanging their damages.

Cas then flung Gadreel back against the wall, holding him there.

Aria ran past Castiel and stood by Spencer; locking arms. "Gadreel has to go. I need your help. Where's the angel blade?"

Spencer sniffled. "In the basement."

Aria shot a glance at Sam. "GO get it." She whispered.

Sam nodded and quickly tried to run away.

"Not so fast, pretty boy." Gadreel smirked, breaking Castiel's power.

Cas gasped. With his eyes still glowing blue, he looked at Aria. "Look what you've done."

Aria frowned. "Castiel, I'm sorry. Metatron took my grace from me. Please forgive me."

To Aria, getting Castiel upset meant the world to her. She felt like she let down her older brother.

Soon, Metatron held Dean down, holding his blade above him. "Goodbye, Dean-o!"

Aria jumped onto Metatron's back. "Don't!" She cried.

"Get off me, you bitch!" He rammed her against the wall.

Aria reached into his jacket pocket and pulled out Gadreel's grace. She threw it onto the ground, letting the grace to flow through her.

Spencer's eyes widened.

Aria's tattered wings flung out as she healed herself.

Gadreel shielded his eyes.

Metatron scoffed. "Like I said, taking the fun out of everything! This isn't over, Aria." He left.

Aria and Gadreel were at a standoff. Both had their hands in front of them, aiming their angelic destruction at each other.

"Gadreel, you need to go. You're hurting people. You've become a monster." Aria scolded.

Gadreel clenched his jaw and looked at Spencer. "I HATE that word! Spencer, I didn't mean to.."

Spencer looked at Sam hiding behind the wall, blade at hand.

Castiel stood up behind Aria, breathing heavily.

Aria shrugged. "Doesn't matter. You betrayed us all. You've become nothing but a pain in our asses."

Gadreel looked at Spencer, out of options. "Do you feel that way?"

Spencer, still locked arms with her, looked away.

Dean weakly walked to Sam, standing beside him, holding his stomach.

Spencer finally looked at Gadreel, with tears in her eyes. "You've done too much damage. You confuse me, Gadreel." She wiped her tears.

Gadreel walked towards her. "My Spencer..." He reached for her.

"Just stop, Gadreel!" Spencer yelled; laying her arms beside her.

Sam quickly joined the group, standing beside Spencer and glaring at Gadreel.

"Just leave if you know what's good for you." Spencer said as Sam placed the blade in her right hand.

"You took advantage of my kindness." Aria placed her hands on her hips.

"I tried to warn you.." Castiel took a side step towards him.

"And I gave you a chance to leave before it got worse." Dean's eyes flickered.

Gadreel looked down as a tear rolled down his cheek. "Everything I've done, I've done for you!" His voice boomed. "I know I've made mistakes. Give me one last chance. I promise I'll.."

Spencer walked towards him. "I can't do this anymore, Gadreel. No more promises.."

"I Pinky Promise I'll Always Be By Your Side." Gadreel hooked pinkies with her.

"I've seen the violence you've done." Spencer stood chest to chest with him.

Gadreel tackled Castiel to the ground. "I can't forget about her, brother!"

Gadreel shook his head, angry tears streamed down his red, flushed face. "I've done this all for you."

Spencer shook her head; placing her hand on his right cheek. "We've all made mistakes but you're the worse with them." She hugged him tightly.

Gadreel wrapped his arms around her waist, resting his chin on her shoulder. "Please forgive me.."

Spencer cried more. "I-I forgive you." She whispered before plunging the blade into his back.

"Ahhh!" Gadreel cried out as his eyes and mouth expelled a white light.

Dean held Aria close as they all looked away.

A light blue Ora floated into Aria's mouth. Her grace was returned safely to her.

Spencer dropped the blade then covered her mouth.

Sam ran to Spencer and hugged her. "It's okay, Spence." He petted her hair. "It's all over."

Aria hugged Castiel. "We did it."

"Too close.." Castiel didn't hug her back.

"Oh, sorry." Aria smiled.

Castiel fixed his trench coat. "Now we go after Metatron."

That night, Spencer dreamed about being with Aria in their small car. Their hair whipping around as the windows were rolled down and 80's rock blasting. No more about Gadreel saving her from Purgatory. She didn't think about Gadreel anymore these days. It was like he left forever.

A/N: I'm sure my friend, Brisa, is crying by now. Obessive over Gadreel but, hey, Tahmoh is cute c; Hope you enjoyed this fic as much as I enjoyed writing it. R &R :D
