Living Among Giants

by Monkeygirl77

She was adopted into the fold of Archangels and now she's learning how to be a fledgling again after the end of the war. She's got plenty of older angels to show her the way though. A new set of Guardians, a new home, and a present Parent, she's living among giants now.

"I don't like you."

He turned to look at the fledgling sitting on the table, leaning back on her hands, kicking her legs back and forth. Her glare could put her masters to shame, and it was solely focused on him.

"You don't know me."

"I don't need to. I know what you do. And so I don't like you."

"Akeela."

The elder's tone was soft as he called her name out in warning, working on mending the demon poisoned wound on the hunters leg, she ignored him and stared still at the other angel.

"You hurt a lot of people, you're a meanie, and you don't even care."

"I care more then you know.", he waved away her words and made to turn around again to watch the archangel tend to his charge, "You are young and do not understand."

"I know plenty!"

Her boots made a soft thump as she jumped down from the table, her little fists clenched at her sides, and Castiel was immediately reminded of that day months ago when she plowed her foot into his shin.

A dark finger pointed at the fledgling halting her in her tracks, "Don't you dare kick him.", it flicked back towards the table, "You sit right back on that table."

"I wasn't gonna kick him."

"Akeela."

"Only a little bit."

"Akeela."

She heaved a sigh much too big for a fledgling of her size, "I was gonna kick him."

"That's what I thought.", he was nearly finished pulling the poison from the wound so that it may heal safely, "You come stand next to me. And you had better not punch him on your way over."

"I wasn't gonna punch him neither!"

"Little one."

"Big brother."

It finally drew him away from what he was doing, and electric blue eyes turned to her, a finger moving in such a way that indicated she had better comply and meet at his side.

"Do you want to go stand in that corner?"

"I'm coming! Don't get your robes in a wad!"

Dean Winchester laughed at the look that flashed upon the archangels face when the little girl bumped into his side, it was the look that all older siblings wore at some point in their lives.

"I was only gonna punch him a little bit."

"I know you would have punched him a little bit."
