When I returned to the house, Dean was waiting for me on the sofa, and when I walked in, he went to hug me in a gesture of apoplogy, but I pushed him away.

I saw him scowl as I went over to our daughter, who beamed lilting at me, then cried. "Mommy! You're home!" she got up and wrapped her arms around my legs, hugging me as tightly as she could. I chuckled a little, then, as I knelt before her, she told me with big eyes. "Daddy cried last night... why was he doing that Mommy?"

Now I cast my gaze to Dean, my eyebrow raised. He shrugged and said. "No I wasn't! She was seeing things." but then he sighed and walked over, pulled me up and hugged me, going quietly. "Don't do that again... please?"

I chuckled a little, burying my face in his chest for a moment, closing my eyes. Then he said.

"You know I worry... like a mother hen. You want me to go grey at just thirty five-? It won't be a pretty picture, I assure you."

I rolled my eyes and retorted.

"You'd dye it back."

"Bingo."

"Pink."

"Lee... I'm not gay."

"Oh I know. But you're more of the butch one, not the feminine side."

"Are you calling me butch-!"

"Yeah, I think I am."

"Cow."

"Now now dearest, not in front of Zebby (!)"

"You wait til later then."

"Can't wait (!)"

But as I ended my sentance, I was hoping and preying that he didn't feel me flinch as Sam came back in. Dean asked. "Where'd you vanish to last night."

Sam met my eyes now, and I was truly convinced that he was going to tell him the truth, but he just said. "Not much. The usual."

Dean groaned a little, I could feel it in his chest, but didn't, to my immense relief, say any details.

I let Dean go now, then went over to Zenobia and asked her. "Want to go to the park, Princess?"

She screamed in delight and nodded, jumping to her feet and running to the back door where her shoes were. I chuckled, and as I followed, Dean caught me in his arms and said. "Uh-uh. Where's my kiss?"

I rolled my eyes and kissed him for a moment, trying to ignore Sam sat on the sofa, probably smirking a little as he usually did. The prick...

-AMUFT-

At the park, I was sat on the cold metal bench, thinking hard while Zebby played on the slide, waving at me occasionally. She was so innoncent. Innocent to the raging storm taking place inside my head that was.

"What's on ya mind?"

I jolted a little as Gabriels voice suddenly popped up next to me. I sighed, then told his raised eyebrow. "Nothing."

Gabriel nodded slowly, then sighed. "Nothing-? Then what was last night?"

I almost gasped out loud, then I stood up and demanded. "How the hell do you know-!"

Gabriel sighed, then just said quietly. "I am your Polly Parrot remember?"

Ok, I was feeling a mixture of fear, embarassement and anger as I hissed. "Why didn't you stop him then!"

"Because he was right- you started it."

"Who said I wanted to continue!"

"Lee... you did. You had no intentions of stopping. And don't blame the booze, you knew exactly what was happening."

"Then why was I trying to get him to stop."

"Huh?"

"Yeah. Maybe if you'd have done your "job" longer, you would have seen that I was near enough raped by my brother-in-law!"

"Oh. Erm... awkward turtle moment-?"

"You bet it is!"

He was frowning at me now, much like in a father- daughter way, then said in a concerned voice. "Lee-? Are you feeling ok?"

I was took aback, then snapped. "Yes. Why." Gabriel cocked his head at me, then put a hand on my chest, and my eyes warned him not to touch anything else, unless he wanted to loose a few fingers. But after a second, he removed it and just said in a low voice. "Crap..."

What the hell-?

"What?"

Gabriel bit his lip a little as he ran a hand through his hair and just told me. "When you attempted to yank Sammys soul back, I think you... that your own soul brushed against the broken one, resonating with it..."

"And?"

"Your own soul is breaking. Little by little."

Now I was took aback by that, but before I could say anymore, Zebby came over and tugged on Gabriels jacket, staring at something behind us. "There's a scary man watching." she told him when he picked her up onto his lap. Gabriel frowned, then his eyes widened and he gave her to me, standing up, then I saw him gape. "Raphy-?"

I just stood up now, keeping Zebby behind me as I saw the man, Raphael. He didn't look too intimidating, but I knew well that this was an archangel, Gabriels little brother or whatever, he was still powerful.

"Gabriel..." he just said now, eyes on his brother. "It has been a while."

Gabriel snorted now, then said back. "Eons... you little dick."

But I didn't like his tone one bit, and sure enough, his voice echoed in my mind. "Get Zeb out of here right now." and with that, I sent her home. Gabriel looked pissed that I hadnt gone too, but come on- as if I'd leave him. He was near enough my father now.

Gabriel glared at Raphael now, then hissed. "What are you doing! Causing all this cra-!" but he never got it out, as the other angel took us by suprise and blasted us back, sending me into the swings and Gabriel the climbing frame.

I sat up now, anger that I had never felt so strongly, except for those times with Lucifer, coursing through me. I got up and snarled. "You bastard..." I was going to blast him myself, but Gabriel beat me to it and told me with a hiss while the angel was down. "Don't use your powers. You'll break your soul even more! Ok?" I started at him now, but ignored his words and advanced on Raphael, who stood up and told me with narrowed eyes. "Abomination."

Now I raised an eyebrow and went. "Oh am I?" Gabriel blasted us apart now, then slammed his brother into the tree and held him by his jacket, snarling. "What the hell are you playing at! Did daddy tell you off and send you in the naughty corner? Stop being such a brat-!" but in the blink of an eye, it was Gabriel who was pinned, and Raphael chuckled. "You have grown weak, squirming around down here with all these..." he snorted a little. "These humans."

Gabriel snarled, but I had lost my temper and blasted Raphael from him and slammed him to the ground, grabbing him and started my little trick of exorcising angels.

"Lee! Don't-!"

But Gabriels warning came too late, as my chest started screaming in agony, and Raphael pushed me off, then he frowned down at me and just said. "It's not even worth my time killing you."

I gasped quietly now, the white hot throbbing in my chest blotting everything else out, but I saw Raphael vanish, then Gabriel as he said, putting a hand on my chest. "Lee... Leona. Don't close your eyes. Lee-!"

Since when did I ever listen...

-AMUFT-

When I woke up, I was niether here, nor there. It just seemed like infinite white. Was this Purgatory-? Was I destined to wander the far reaches of limbo for eternity?

"Leona."

I got up now, then turned around to face someone. A guy with heavenly blue eyes and elegant honey blonde hair actually. Who was he-?

He stared at me for a moment, then sighed. "You are a very hard one to find Leona."

I backed off a little now, feeling no powers come to me. He watched in silence, then said quietly. "I won't hurt you."

Yeah, I've heard that before.

The guy frowned and just said. "You're afraid of me."

"Then tell me who you are."

"I can't. Not yet at least."

"You freaking angels..."

"I'm not an angel."

"Excuse me-? Demon then! Whatever!"

"I'm as hum- oh. I can't say that actually. You're far from human."

"Thanks for reminding me (!)"

The guy frowned, then sighed, taking my hands in his, making me look inside his eyes which seemed too human now. "Leona. I'm sorry... but we all have a purpose in life. And your purpose. Your role is closing in, and fast."

"But Lucifer-?"

"He was part of it, but only a fraction."

"Why won't you tell me who you are."

He sighed now, then raised a hand and touched my chest, then said quietly. "Be seeing you soon Leona-"

Everything went white.

-AMUFT-

"Leona!"

I groaned and opened my eyes to face Deans white face, eyes concerned. He sighed in relief now and pulled me into his arms, going. "You cow for doing that to me! Gabriel said you were near enough..." he sighed and didn't finish.

I pulled away now and just said. "My purpose in life..." but it must have came out as a mutter, because Dean asked. "What sweetie-?"

"My purpose in life... it's coming."

"Lee, what are you talking about-?"

I stood up now, then saw Sam and Gabriel there too, so I took a deep breath and said.

"Something, or someone is coming. "
