Woo! Gabe is back! Albeit, with a good few slaps- but hey! He deserved them. So he's seen the boys-? This is gonna be kinda awkward. After all- they thought Gabe died helping them. Will they even say thanks? Or should that be just Dean... Next chapter will be up later! X Nic

'"Great Alma Hotel"' Lyra read aloud, staring at its creamy brickwork and posh windows. 'I would have thought he wouldn't be seen dead in a place like this.' Sam mused- it was a pretty hotel. Lyra sighed. 'Moment of truth.' She said, walking in. to her surprise, Dean hesitated. 'I'll... er- let you two get acquainted again.' He mumbled, turning back to the Impala in the parking lot. Sam frowned. 'What If it's a trap?' Dean groaned and stopped. 'Ok, ok!' he sulked and walked alongside his brother as they went in.

Lyra cast her eyes to the bar when they'd located it- he wasn't there. Lyra sighed, turning away... when she heard it.

That unmistakeable laugh.

She spun around and stared towards the sofas; there he was. Well, the back of his head, and that was the part Lyra was going for.

She stomped up and smacked him hard there, making him jolt forwards. He turned around, raising a hand to his head. 'Jeez! Did I sleep with your girlfriend or something-?' he asked, and then saw who it was. His caramel eyes widened. 'Lyra-?'

Lyra growled, grabbed the sleeve of his jacket and dragged him out the room, ignoring the stare from the girl he'd been sitting with.

She dragged him outside and slammed him against the wall. 'I can't believe you!' she yelled, grabbing the front of his shirt. '2 years? Some father you are!' she growled, Gabe opened his mouth to speak, but Lyra butted in. 'We though you were dead! But no- you had to wait a whole freaking year before you could tell us? Do you know how much the thought of you dead upset my mom?' she pushed him again. 'Do you?' Gabriel sighed. 'I had to lay low-'but Lyra started yelling again. '"Lie low?" what was that in there?'

There were tears in her eyes as the ranting started to end. 'We thought-? We-' she started crying. 'Oh jeez Lyra-'Gabriel muttered, going to put his arms around her, but Lyra had one more thing for him first; she slapped him. 'And that's from mom!' She growled. Gabe rubbed his cheek absentmindedly. 'Done?' he asked, watching Lyra with weary eyes. Lyra nodded and hugged him. 'We thought you were dead-!' she sobbed. Gabe felt surprised- he wasn't exactly used to someone missing him like this. 'Oh.' He frowned.

'Lyra!'

it was Sam and Dean, no doubt they'd noticed the shouting or the fact she was gone. Gabriel frowned. 'It cant be-?' then he saw the Winchesters round the corner and stop at the sight of him. 'Oh great (!)' He heard Dean moan. Gabe raised an eyebrow- they hadn't changed. Even after a year.

This was going to be fun!
