After a long night morning finally came and our heroes are up and ready to continue their mission.

Sam at the front again, Cas and Jack behind and Michael at the back. Yes the archangel is still sulking. Jack thought enough is enough. He turns and glares at the archangel.

"What the Hell is wrong with you?"

Michael stiffened by the former nephilim's glare.

"Um...nothing."

"Don't lie to me." He growled.

"Jack."

"Sam. I can't put up with this." Jack snapped at him. "He's hiding something I mean look at him. Is it Dean?"

Michael shakes his head.

"No."

"The angels. You contacted them?"

"Heaven's no."

Jack narrowed his eyes.

"You plan on leaving us here. You gonna do what you are good at? Betraying people."

"Jack what is wrong with you?" Michael frowned. "I thought we were good."

"I guess this place reminded me why we became enemies in the first place." He points his finger at the archangel. "Truth Michael now or I will..."

"You will do what Jack?" Michael smirked. "Remember who has the power here."

Jack sighs. The archangel had a point.

"Jack has a point." Sam says. "For this alliance to work we need to be on the same page. That includes secrets. We gotta be honest with each other."

"You really want to know?" Michael asks. He then nods. "Alright I'll tell you." He sighs. "I miss Danneel, I miss JJ, I miss the twins. I miss their hugs." He wraps his arms around himself. "It made me feel so warm, it made me experience emotions that I wished I experienced years ago. At the same I wished I didn't. These human feelings are complicated. One minute I'm fine then I'm not fine then I want to cry then I'm angry then I'm guilty then I'm fine again. Uhhhh I'm so confused and it's got worst since we landed here. Jack I want to punch you and hug you at the same time." He looks at Sam. "Is that normal?"

Sam, Cas and Jack all stared with a stunned expression. Their reaction caused Michael to laugh.

"It's not normal is it." He looks up at the sky. "I'm a mess."

"Do you feel guilty by what you done?" Cas asks.

"You mean here? Yes I do. Happy now!" Michael looks round with a pained expression. "This world used to be so beautiful. I destroyed it. I ruined father's work oh." He drops to his knees and tears formed in his eyes. "Why couldn't we go to your world why did we have to come here it's too painful."

"Uh Michael."

"I'm fine." Michael's smile faded after a few seconds. "No I'm not fine." He lies on the ground. "I'm not fine at all."

Cas awkwardly goes down and checks his brother over.

"I think the guilt is eating you up."

Michael takes a deep breath.

"I thought we feel more when we're human. Since I got my powers back I'm...my feelings have heightened and it's like they are having one big fight in my head."

"How do you feel now. One emotion. Focus on the one." Sam says.

"Deep breaths brother." Cas says.

Michael takes several breaths. The trembling in his hands stop and his breathing slowed down.

"I'm okay." Michael admitted his voice small.

"You sure?" Cas asks.

"I...I think so." Michael rubs his head. "I'm an archangel I shouldn't even be experiencing a headache."

"How do you feel now?" Sam asks.

"Be honest." Jack warned.

Michael stands up.

"I miss my fake family." He shrugs. "Little bit angry, hurt even. Tired." He folds his arms and thinks. "I think you're right brother. It has to be the guilt." He clasps his hands and puts on a smile. "Shall we get moving."

Sam nods but his expression remained uneasy.

"Maybe join me at the front." Sam suggests.

Michael joins him and they continued their journey.

Jack kept his eyes on the archangel. Michael felt the former nephilim's intense stare burning into him. It was making him anxious. Another feeling stirred in him as well. Rage. Michael turns and faces the kid.

"Seriously!" Michael waves his hands. "Just spit it out."

"Was that an act back there? That panic attack." Jack asks going straight to the point. "Trying to make us feel sorry for you."

Now the archangel is pissed. Seeing the anger and mistrust in Jack's eyes infuriated him even more.

"I have been honest." Michael growled. "I made it clear I was on your side. I helped you against the kidnappers, I gave up my plans for you. I did this because I care about you Jack. I don't want to kill you. I get it. This place brings back memories awful memories I hate it here too but...Jack I changed."

"Lucifer said he changed but he didn't." Jack argued.

"I'm not Lucifer."

"You are just as evil as him."

Shock fills the archangel's face.

"What?"

Jack just stared and allowed his words to sink. Then the former nephilim steps forward. Michael clenched his fists and glares at his alternative nephew.

"I see he is returning. The archangel Michael is slowly coming back." Jack says.

"Jack what are you doing?"

"Proving a point Castiel." He gestures to the archangel "Look at him. I bet he would love to kill me. Didn't he slip up earlier and admitted that he wanted to hit me. "

"And hug you." Michael answered. He takes a shaky breath. "Jack I would be very careful, the emotions they are doing..."

"Doing what?"

"Clouding my thoughts." The archangel grits his teeth as he felt another headache coming on. "If you keep pushing me I'm going to do something that I will regret. I don't want to hurt you Jack."

"That's what I don't understand." Jack points out. "Castiel did you feel emotions more as an angel or a human."

Cas looks at Michael's pained expression.

"I did feel more as a human. When I got my grace back the emotions were still there but... " He eyes Michael up and down. "I didn't act like that."

"Maybe it's because Michael is not used to um...feeling." Sam says.

"That could be the reason." Cas nodded.

"Combined with his umm angel senses it might be overpowering him?" Sam shrugged.

"Excuses excuses." Jack huffed. "Michael is hiding something. He is putting on this performance to distract us. Castiel I think you should check him. We should all check him. "

"Jack."

"If that makes him feel better." Michael sits down. "Check me. Do anything to shut him up."

It may even soothe my nerves. The archangel thought.

"Sam. "Jack folds his arms. "Remember who Michael is possessing. Whatever he is plotting will affect our chances on getting Dean back. This is why we need to find out before it's too late. "

Sam knew Jack was right. However his gut told him that Michael is telling the truth. Why would the archangel present himself as an emotional wreck? What is he getting out of it?

Cas leans forward. His eyes glow blue and he places his hand on Michael's head. Everyone waited as Cas searched through the archangel's mind.

Horror appears on Cas's face. The reaction caused Michael to become horrified.

"What? What did you find?"

"Uh oh... "

"Castiel what did you find?" He pulls the angel forward. "ANSWER ME!"

Sam and Jack go to jump in but Cas raises his hand and assures them he is okay.

"Brother." Cas faces his alternative brother. "The emotions, not all of them are yours."

Michael frowns.

"What?"

"Jack's anger, I and Sam's worry you are feeling it."

The archangel looked lost.

"You are going to have to elaborate."

"Michael it seems when we got our grace back a new ability was unlocked. "

"New ability?" Michael glares at Cas's worried expression. "Brother just say it."

Cas sighs.

"Michael, you're an empath."

I will hint the empath ability and the Apocalypse World are linked. It will be explained in the next chapter : )
