One Hell of a Babysitter

Charlie and Kevin sat in Bobby's house, playing with the baby angels. Dean, Sam, and Bobby were not on a hunt this time. They were taking a day off from watching the three trouble makers. From the sound of it they had gone to see I, Frankenstein in the theater which Charlie was one hundred percent jealous of. She loved the angels though and all three were behaving themselves for once. Castiel had her and Kevin worried for a moment, but Dean sorted it out by getting the angel's coat out of the wash before leaving. Now Castiel was snuggled on top of Custos with his trench coat wrapped around him like some sort of blanket. Balthazar and Gabriel were playing hot potato with Kevin and Charlie.

"You're out, Kwevin!" Castiel shouted as the ball fell into the boy's hands and the music playing on Sammy's iPod stopped. Kevin let out an exasperated sigh before handing the ball off to Gabriel and moving out of the circle to sit next to Castiel and the hellhound puppy.

"Looks like it's you, me, and Custos now, Castiel," Kevin sighed while cracking open a Dr. Pepper. Castiel bobbed his head up and down, pressing play on the iPod to continue the music. Pop music continued to play and Gabriel quickly passed the ball. The ball made it around three times before Castiel paused the music again.

"Looks like you're out, little bro!" Gabriel's wings spread out protectively at the new voice and protectively stood in front of Castiel and Balthazar. Charlie and Kevin shot up to their feet, reaching for the two angel blade's the hunters had left for them just in case. Custos was the only one that didn't move. The puppy simply stood at Gabriel's side, not growling, but still watching the new comer carefully.

"What do you want, Luci?" Gabriel snapped at his older brother. Both Kevin's and Charlie's eyes widened.

"Wait…Luci as in Lucifer?" Kevin questioned. Lucifer rolled his eyes, smirking at the human simply.

"In the flesh!" the archangel sing songed.

"Awesome!" Charlie squealed under her breath, earning a glare from all three angels and Kevin. She blushed slightly. "What? It's not every day you get to meet Satan," she chimed, thinking more about her numerous videogames containing the devil rather than the fact that the most dangerous archangel on earth was standing in Bobby's sitting room.

"What do you want?" Gabriel repeated, wings bristling. Even Balthazar and Castiel's feathers were slightly ruffled now. Their relationship with this brother was ten times different than it had been with Michael. The angels were pleased to see their brother when he showed up so long ago, but Lucifer seemed to be a different story. "What is it that you want?" Gabe repeated angrily. Lucifer smiled at his brothers.

"Oh, Mickey, and I were placing bets and he bet that I wouldn't be able to watch the three of you for more than an hour without giving up. So he let me out of the pit for a few hours," Lucifer explained. Kevin raised a brow.

"Michael let the devil loose to babysit baby seraphim just to win a bet?" Kevin summed up. Lucifer nodded, jumping up onto his feet and strolling closer to his baby brothers. When Gabriel threatened to slam his wings against Lucifer's outstretched hand the devil pushed him aside and grabbed Castiel off Custos. The baby angel screamed and that was enough to spark Custos' protective will. The hellhound growled dangerously, snapping his teeth down on Lucifer's leg. The devil screamed, dropping his brother and toppling to the floor, holding his now bleeding ankle. Custos moved back from the archangel then, going towards his little master now sitting on the floor, looking slightly stunned and frightened. Cas wasn't stunned over Lucifer's attack however. He was stunned over the fact that the current acts had caused Kevin's Dr. Pepper to spill and completely discolor Castiel's trench coat. The world completely froze in that exact second. Even Lucifer looked slightly uneasy.

"Castiel, it's ok. We'll just pop it in the wash for a second," Charlie whispered softly, reaching tentatively for the trench coat. Fat tears slowly made their way down Castiel's already bright pink cheeks. Balthazar, Kevin, and Gabriel each took a few steps back, ready for impact.

BANG!

Windows shattered and the TV turned on, roaring with loud static. Castiel sat on the floor, trench coat clutched to his chest tightly as his true voice rang out. Charlie jumped away from the angel, holding her hands over her ears in attempt to stop the sound. Kevin was doing the same and Custos was hiding under Bobby's chair. Even the other three angels in the room looked like they were having trouble ignoring the cries.

"Shut him up!" Lucifer shouted over the noise, holding his ears as he glared at Castiel. A small blast of thunder sounded from outside and in a matter of seconds a new figure was standing in the room. "Michael?!" Lucifer gasped, glaring at his brother. Michael smirked at his brother and then glanced towards Castiel. The archangel laughed heartily.

"You're supposed to be his big brother, Luci. It's part of the bet. You have to be his babysitter and babysitters take care of their brothers," Michael chuckled. Lucifer opened his mouth to argue, but Michael was gone once again in a blast of lightning and thunder. Lucifer let out a string of curses, glaring at his baby brother.

"Well, you heard him!" Charlie shouted, waving a hand towards Castiel. Lucifer glared at her, shuttering her up.

"She's right, Luci!" Balthazar popped up. "Be the big brother you never were!" the angel shouted. A look of both hurt and anger seemed to cross Lucifer's face then.

"I was your big brother! I watched you three grow up, I-"

"You didn't teach us to fly. Michael taught me and I taught Castiel, and Balthy," Gabriel interrupted, eyes burning. "Anna and Michael held us when we cried. Where were you when we wanted to play or needed you? Arguing with dad! Becoming his favorite was all you cared about after all! Now take your fucking chance to make it all better or go back to the pit," Gabe shouted while pointing at their crying brother. The older archangel looked away from the fuming Gabriel and towards his weeping brother. He let out a long shaky sigh before making his way towards his little brother.

"Ummm…" Lucifer stuttered, staring down at his sobbing brother. Lucifer glanced up at Gabriel and Balthazar's direction and both little angels rolled their eyes at him.

"Comfort him!" they both shouted. Lucifer swallowed thickly, turning back to his little brother. Comfort? Gingerly, Lucifer lifted Castiel up off the ground. Custos speed out from under the couch, snapping at the devil angrily, but Gabriel shouted a few enochian words at the puppy and Custos reluctantly backed down. Lucifer turned back to the baby angel with blue eyes now in his hands at arms distance. Castiel was still clutching at the trench coat, crying his eyes out, and not even noticing who was holding him. Lucifer glanced in Gabriel and Balthazar's direction again and the two just waved him on, not looking very hopeful.

"Uh, hey, Castiel. You…You're alright, Brother," Lucifer attempted, glancing again over his shoulder. Balthazar gave him a thumbs up and Gabriel began pretending to rock a baby. Lucifer gritted his teeth but brought Castiel closer to his body and rocked the angel gently like Gabriel had demonstrated. Castiel's crying died down softly and the windows stopped cracking. Well, that was a start. Lucifer pulled Castiel closer, rubbing his hand in circles along Castiel's back and humming softly. Castiel calmed further and soon his true voice silenced, the TVs turned off, and all that could be heard was Castiel's sniffling and Lucifer's off key humming. Balthazar held back a snicker as Charlie snuck a photo of the two on her phone. Castiel looked up into Lucifer's face then, eyes red from crying and tear tracks running down his cheeks. Lucifer stared back before snapping his fingers together. Castiel glanced at his trench coat still in his hands, smiling when he saw that the stain had vanished. The little angel wrapped his arms around Lucifer's neck, hugging his big brother tightly. Lucifer's eyes widened, but he returned the hug. Clapping filled the room and Lucifer glanced up to see none other than Michael.

"Congrats, Brother. It appears you've won the bet," Michael sighed, trying to look disappointed. Lucifer smirked, continuing to hold Castiel in his arms.

"Of course I have, Mickey. I'm a winner. That's what we do." Michael rolled his eyes.

"Come on. I'm sure these three have a bedtime," Michael stated, eyeing Gabriel and Balthazar expectantly. The two angels made pouty faces, but didn't argue with their big brother. Lucifer nodded, reluctantly walking over to Charlie. She held out her hands to take the angel, but the devil couldn't do it. He pulled Castiel away from him slightly so he could look into the bright blue eyes that were his brother's. Castiel smiled up at his big brother, jumping forward and smacking a kiss to his chin. Lucifer's eyes widened and a chuckle left Michael and Gabriel's lips. Lucifer leaned forward, tentatively returning the kiss before handing the angel back to Charlie. As soon as Castiel was settled in Charlie's arms the door opened and all three hunters walked in. Dean's eyes scanned Lucifer's hands on Castiel and Michael standing next to Kevin. The Winchester went to grab the angel blade sitting on the counter, but the two dick angels were gone in a blink of an eye. Dean dropped the blade rushing over to Castiel, who was smiling like nothing had happened and Balthazar and Gabriel were chuckling at the photo Charlie was showing them of Luci and Cas. Dean's eyes met Kevin's and Charlie's.

"What was Lucifer doing here?" Dean questioned. Charlie and Kevin both shrugged.

"He's one hell of a babysitter."
