Gabriel went to visit Cas at his punishment while he had some down time. He had let the boys think they had killed him and he would give them a little break. All the sweeter when he made Sam into a car. He chuckled. Nobody knew who Dean liked better, Sam or the Impala. Now he wouldn't have to choose.
"Why are you doing this?" Castiel asked.
"Michael and Lucifer are going to fight. They won't rest until they do. You know that."
"We can stop it."
Gabriel laughed. He remembered when he had been young and stupid. He reached out his hand and affectionately tousled his younger brother's hair. "I wish we could, Tiger. But we can't."
