It was a week after God dragged Castiel's ass back to heaven that a knock came to the door. And as Bobby opened the door there stood Chuck.

Behind him stood 5 angels.

Amongst them Lucifer and Michael stood too.

All of them staring at the ground like it was the most interesting thing ever.

-Boys!- Called Bobby eyeing Chuck warily.

-Bobby you ca- Chuck?- Sam and Dean came to a halt at the stairs definitely not expecting to see the man ever again.

-Care to come outside for a moment? I believe there is something you must hear.

The brothers shared a look before obeying.

Their steps faltered when they caught sight of the angels in the yard.

Gabriel, Lucifer, Michael, Castiel and Zachariah stood there.

All of them staring at the ground.

Even the two fucking Archangels and devil.

-Uhm... what is this?- Asked Sam nervously glancing at Lucifer. Chuck cleared his throat quite menacingly and Gabriel who was the first in the line looked up utterly offended. A glare from Chuck shut any remarks he had.

-I... am sorry I killed your brother so many many times and made you watch it. And locked you both in those shows... And turned Sam into a car though you gotta admit that one was-

Gabriel wisely shut up at his father's warning glare.

Zachariah looked up and it seemed like it pained his whole existence to even think about his next words.

-I'm sorry.- Those words were spat with such hatred and Jesus God's warning glare got the angel to grow so pale Dean kinda wished he had a camera.

-Michael?- Called Chuck expectantly. Michael stepped forward looking tired as fuck.

-I'm sorry for all the wrongdoings I brought upon the Winchsters and I promise to give you your brother back. I didn't-- Michael cut himself off and glanced at Chuck with an annoyed frown.- Why do I have to apologize?

Castiel had said before that the archangels were the wrath of heaven.

And the wrath of heaven just whined like a friggin' five year old as he gave Chuck a near tantrum look.

-I was the most responsible amongst us all.I was the one trying to get Lucifer back into his cage.I was the one who got burnt with holy fire trying to end this mess. I even sneaked Sam's soul out of Lucifer's room to make it easier for Death and-

-I don't care whose at fault.- Cut off Chuck. Thunder roaring above.- You allowed that human to be resurrected and for what? For your own games. I had one request. One. Make sure heaven isn't brought down by your siblings. Don't lie to me. I know you were amongst the ones who sealed Metatron into his room so if you are done whining stay silent if you know what's good for you.

Silence reigned over the place.

-Lucifer.- Oh the threat in that voice when Chuck gave the devil a warning look.

-What? I started the Apocalypse but Castiel was the one who got me out of the cage.

-He didn't. I remember him and Raphael destroying my house for ignoring their bickering when you got out.- Deadpans Chuck and his voice is so miserable Bobby wants to pat his back and ask him if he wants some whiskey.

-Fine. I'm sorry I brought the Apocalypse on but I don't feel bad about it. I'm just sorry it was so pathetic. Should had went with the rivers of blood as Gabriel suggested. Or make it rain blood.

Chuck looked like he was about to smack someone out of the solar system. Pinching the bridge of his nose he took a deep breath.

-Castiel? Something you wanna say?

-... I'm sorry I gave Balthazar the heavenly weapons?

He didn't sound sorry at all.

Castiel held the vibe of someone who would do just that all over again without trace of hesitation.

-Don't pull that innocent act on me.

-I am sorry for making deals with demons. Plotting with Balthazar against Fate's life. Exploding on Bobby. Not healing Bobby. Branding the brothers ribs with useless sigils. Helping Uriel steal Anna's grace. Throwing holy fire at Michael but not really he deserved it because he's an ass.

-Hey!

-Shut up assbutt I'm talking. I also apologize for failing to resurrect Sam correctly though Lucifer was distracting me at the time so I didn't notice he kept the soul in the first place. Not that that makes it okay. And... I'm sorry I tried to open Purgatory. In my defense that was Lucifer's idea.

Lucifer gave Castiel such a bitch face.

And Castiel against any prognostic gifted Lucifer a smug look.

And the fucking devil lunged like a rabid dog. Jumping over Gabriel like he was nothing and tackling Castiel to the ground.

-You fucking poisonous traitor!

-Loser takes the blame for the seventh heaven's state!- Announced Gabriel holding a microphone out of nowhere. Passing a bucket of popcorn to Michael who offered some to Zachariah who in exchange gave him an irritated look.

-Seventh heaven's state my ass that was your doing!- Snapped back Lucifer as he punched Castiel.

-You stabbed me you dick and that wasn't part of the game so suck it up!- Called out Gabriel with a grin.

-Fuck you Gabriel!- Cried Lucifer as his face met the ground courtesy of Castiel.

Meanwhile the hunters just stared in utter disbelief at the sight of the devil and the supposedly stoic angel rolling all over the ground while hitting each other like a pair of seven year olds. Lucifer even pulled at Castiel's hair who in exchange gave him such a bitch slap Gabriel broke out into a fit of laughter.

Chuck's sigh caught the humans' attention. Chuck held his hands pressed together as in prayer. Close to his face as if summoning both patience and strength.

Poor man looked more exhausted than even God had right to.

-Are you okay?- Asks Bobby once again thinking about offering God some whiskey.

-I have billions of children who are older than humanity itself but act like five year olds. Of course I'm not okay.- His miserable tone got Sam doing something he never thought himself doing.

He patted God's shoulder.

-I just wanted some time off. Just a few years. Is that too much to ask? Don't I deserve a vacation?- Chuck was now looking at Sam as if searching for validation of his words.

-O-Of course.- Agreed Sam feeling bad as he side glanced at the angels. Lucifer now had Castiel trapped in a headlock and was rubbing his knuckles so hard on the angel's head Sam could swear there was smoke coming off it.

-I'm a good person. I'm a good father. I left heaven for five years and the angels went crazy. Metatron and Michael were suppose to keep them straight but they locked Metatron away and corrupted Michael. The little bastards brought the Apocalypse on. Began a civil war and are fake killing each other. Who even does that?

God sounded disturbed and so done with that single fact Dean also found himself patting the man's other shoulder. Bobby left to get some whiskey.

-Balthazar is running wild around Earth with my weapons. Uriel and Anna have set fire to Joshua's head and the Garden. Raphael is sitting on the throne looking like a mafia boss. Gabriel is bathing Castiel and Lucifer in glitter.- That last sentence got the brothers turning towards the fight.

Now Gabriel was being chased by Lucifer and Castiel who were covered in blindingly neon pink and green glitter.

-If all of this is a game to them what about those who died because of them? Lucifer's cage? Sam's memories of hell?- Asks Dean feeling anger bubbling up. All of it had been nothing but a game to draw God out?

-Those who died have been brought back with no memories of ever dying. Those around them won't remember either. Your friends who died because of their games will also be brought back.

He sounded like this wasn't the first time to ever happen nor would it be the last.

-Sam's memories aren't dangerous. Probably stupid but not dangerous nor worth a nightmare. Lucifer's cage isn't just Lucifer's cage though. Considering he is the one who spends the most time in there it has his name that's it. It's a... sort of a time out room for when the angels get too cocky. Castiel is actually in second place when it comes to spending the most time in that place.

-Castiel?- Repeated Dean as if searching for confirmation of the name. Bobby appeared again handing a bottle of whiskey to God who took it with the most grateful look humankind had ever seen.

-Thank you. And yes. Don't let the innocent facade fool you, Castiel, the little bastard was the one who created the Bermuda triangle just to throw Cassiel in it. That was 100 years ago and we still can't find him. He's alive though. He checks via telepathy when he gets bored of trying to find a way out.

-He did what now?

Dean kinda wished he had a phone on him for when he turned his gaze to the yard Zachariah was buried and only his head was visible. Gagged and looking so done with life. Gabriel and the still sparkling Lucifer were putting twigs on the ground around him that seemed to appear out of thin air.

And Michael was spilling gasoline on his head while sparkling Castiel held a lighter looking like a stoic warrior who was about to be sent to the mission of his life.

The whole scene was disturbing and unrealistic.

-He's also the reason unicorns ceased to exist.-Whispers Chuck to the brothers. As if that was a huge secret to beware of.- He took their horns and turned them all to dust that he later used to poison a Greek God because she tried to steal his sword.

Sam and Dean were staring at Castiel half stupified half shocked. All while the angel in question stood behind Zachariah with a firm expression.

Then he dropped the lighter and Zachariah's head caught on fire. Flames roaring to life.

But considering it was normal fire Zachariah didn't seem to react that much.

The angels looked almost disappointed at the lack of screaming.

-This is why I left heaven.- Sighs God taking a sip of his whiskey at the same time Gabriel made a golf club appear out of thin. He brought it up with all the intent of taking a swing at Zachariah's head.

Chuck snapped his fingers and the fire along with the golf club disappeared.

The five angels now stood looking clean once again.

-That's it. No more games. Please. You win. Stop trying to kill each other before one of you die for real again. Zachariah, Michael, Lucifer and Gabriel go back to heaven. Michael leave Adam here don't make me make you.- Warns Chuck at the end. The archangel scoffs but soon Adam falls on the ground and only Castiel was left. Chuck snaps his fingers and Adam disappears.- He's inside the house resting.- Offers God as explanation as he climbs down the stairs. Approaching Castiel.

The angel who looks as stoic as ever.

As if he wasn't acting so out of character not even ten minutes ago.

-Now.- Told Chuck as he turned to look at the brothers. Holding Castiel's arm as if expecting him to try bolt the fuck away.- Are you sure you want to keep Castiel here with you? Just so you know Gabriel was the one who raised him along with Lucifer. You have met both. Are you willing to keep him around despite that?

-Why do you make it sound like I'm a bad person?- Asks the angel almost hurt, Chuck gives him a deadpanned face.- What? I have kept them both perfectly safe and I would never hurt them.- States Castiel firmly. Chuck gave him such a bitch face.

-You beat the crap out of Dean Winchester because he was considering agreeing to be Michael's vessel.

-Yeah I did.- Castiel had no right to look so proud at that fact. It made Dean want to hit him with a crowbar and even then he doubted that would do a single thing to the angel.

-Yes. We want him here. He kinda grows on you.- Tells Sam matter of fact.

-You want him here? Really?- Chuck looks like He wants to go hug Sam and Dean and make them saints.

Why did they suddenly felt like they have been played?

-Okay. Castiel stay out of trouble or I swear you will spend the following centuries locked in the cage translating Enochian to old Mayan and viceverse.- Warns Chuck pointing a finger at the angel for more emphasis. Castiel frowns.

-I thought that was Raphael's punishment?

-Don't test me Castiel.- Reminds him Chuck as he walks past him. Turning and pointing at his eyes and then at him.- I will be watching Castiel! Pull another stunt like that of the demon deal and Purgatory and I will end you.

-I thought God was suppose to be all forgiving?

-And I thought angels were suppose to be righteous not a bunch of needy psychopaths!

-I'm not needy! That's Gabriel's thing!

The fact that he didn't complain about the psychopath bit should have worried the brothers.

Oddly it didn't.

And no one saw Chuck's Christmas smile as he disappeared.

Because nothing ever made God happier than leaving one of his angels out of heaven and away from him.

Especially if said angel was the one who ended the dinosaurs.
