The Joust
Michael and Samandriel had visited a day or two ago to check on how well Gabe's grace was developing. According to Michael, Gabe was doing well, but needed more practice with things that would force him to use large quantities of his grace. Dean had told them that Gabe had been. The angel had created the TARDIS, sent them all into London with daleks, and turned baby into so many things Dean had lost count. Well, according to big brother that wasn't enough for a growing angel. That was why Dean was dressed in a long cloak and had a crown situated neatly atop his head. In his arms was Castiel, clad in red and dyed blond hair. There was no question why Cas was chosen to be Arthur or Dean the prince's dad, but Dean felt more like a Leon. Apparently Sam got that honor. Gabriel and Bobby were standing in the throne room next to the king and prince of Camelot. Gabe, since he was the only one with powers, had chosen the role as Merlin for himself. Bobby was given the role of Gaius, which Dean thought was pretty spot on. Balthazar had been the one to snatch the role of Lancelot of course. The little angel was pretty proud of it too. He swished his toy sword around and walked around the throne room with his chest puffed out. Dean wished that Camelot had cameras back in the day so he could film the adorable middle angel.
"Gabe!" Everyone turned as Kevin and Charlie charged into the room. Charlie, unlike Kevin, looked pleased with her getup. She wore a yellow dress and had thick, dark curls running down past her shoulders. If she was Gwen, then there was only one other that Kevin could be. The room burst into laughter as they took in the long purple dress Kevin was garbed in. Dark hair ran down his back from his head and it looked like he had gotten attacked by the makeup fairy judging on the amount of eye shadow present on the prophet's face.
"Isn't Morgana, supposed to be Merlin's enemy?" Sam questioned, glancing between Gabe and Kevin.
"Revenge for stealing a bite of my snickers," defended Gabe.
"You're an angel! You could have made more!" Kevin screamed angrily.
"But I wanted that one!" Gabe shouted, smug as ever. Kevin rolled his eyes, giving up on the argument. He didn't want Gabe to zap him with anything more. His hair was already longer than Sam's. Who knows what else Gabe would do to him. The angel was crafty after all. Dean smiled, getting up from his throne and setting Cas on the ground by his feet and taking the angel's hand as they made their way to the others.
"So what do you have planned, Merlin?" Dean questioned, directing his gaze to Gabriel. The angel smiled widely.
"A joust!" he shouted happily, eyes glinting with mischief and excitement. Oh, this was going to be either really fun or really dangerous. Well, it is Gabe. It's going to be both.
Dean sat on the sidelines with everybody other than Cas, Balthazar, and Sammy. They were the ones participating in the games after all. Gabe was sitting on Dean's lap, waving his fingers back and forth as he set up everything without too much strain. When he finished he clicked his fingers and a man walked forward, dressed in bright colors and a horn clutched in his fingers.
"Introducing Sir Leon!" the skinny man shouted, blowing into his horn and signaling Sammy to come riding out on a noble steed. Sam gritted his teeth as he rode into view, clutching at the reins like he feared. "Sir Lancelot!" Balthazar came riding out on a pinto, smirking and waving at the crowd of people Gabriel had conquered up as Dean's subjects. "Prince Arthur!" Cas quickly trotted into view on a little pony, dressed in armor just like the other two were. Dean raised a brow at Gabriel.
"Dude, that is one hell of a height advantage," Dean stated, waving a hand at the two small angels and Sam's giant frame. Gabe rolled his eyes at Dean, looking at the hunter like he was insane.
"Sambo won't be fighting them! He will fight one of the knights I created while Cas and Balthy fight each other," Gabe stated. Dean sighed with relief, glad that now he just had to worry about Cas and Balthazar killing each other. Jousting wasn't really the safest game played in the middle ages. Why couldn't a simple game of Sorry or Monopoly been invented yet? The man from before once again blew his horn and he introduced the new knight as Sir Raphael. Dean felt the hair on the back of his neck spike up, but at the sight of the knight that road out on a fat horse he slumped back into his chair with ease. Sir Raphael was a fat hairy man with a long nose and squinting brown eyes. This was in no way the archangel that had given them more trouble than any. Gabe was just making fun of his brother. Gabe poked Dean in the side and the hunter took that as his cue. He stood up, raising his arms and shouted for the games to begin. The first up was Sam and Raphael. The two put on their helmets, riding to opposite sides and lining up. In their hands were not the usual jousting sticks. In this illusion they were holding those Styrofoam swords you can find in the pool aisles at stores nest to swimming noodles. With a snap of Gabe's fingers the horses started moving. Sam clutched tighter to the reigns and held up his weapon, closing his eyes as he and the other knight grew closer and closer.
Bang!
Raphael flew off his horse, landing on the ground in an ungraceful role. The people around Dean and the others clapped and cheered enthusiastically, but Gabe just scowled.
"Too boring," Gabe hummed, clicking his fingers again. "We'll fix that." Balthazar and Castiel quickly galloped into their places and ran at each other, toy swords ready. Just as they were about to hit each other, the swords dissolved and were replaced by guns. Eyes almost popped out of everyone's head at the sight, but before they could do a thing the angels fired, shooting out giant gummy bears.
"Yummy!" Cas yelped, hopping on his horse a little and catching a red gummy bear in his mouth before firing his own gun. Balthazar did the same and the two angels flapped off their ponies and hid behind crates and other things, firing at each other like they were reenacting Band of Brothers or some other military movie.
"Gabe, you're going to give your brothers upset stomachs giving them those things," Sam muttered as he marched over, armor clanking loudly with each step. The angel shrugged, snapping his fingers and making a gummy bear gun appear in everyone's hand. Gabe pulled the trigger of his own gun and watched as the gummy flew into Sam's mouth.
"I don't know about you but my tummy isn't upset. It feels pretty happy," Gabe stated, shooting a gummy into his own mouth. Sam rolled his eyes, looking towards Dean. Dean swallowed. Why did Sam always make him be the bad parent? Dean stared at his own candy gun for a moment and then quickly fired several shots at Sam.
"As king of Camelot I declare we keep the Gummy Bear guns!" The crowd cheered around him and Sam angrily shot his own gun at Dean. The older hunter laughed, running from his seat and to where Balthazar and Gabriel were holding their battle. "Need an extra player?" he asked, skidding next to Balthazar behind an old crate.
"Not fair!" Cas pouted from his spot a few feet away. Sam quickly rushed to Cas, hiding with the angel.
"Come on Cas, let's take those two out!" Sam started firing and Cas followed. Gabriel crawled up onto Dean's chair smiling to himself and popping another gummy bear into his mouth. This had turned out much better than he had planned.
Thank you Princess Aziza for the request.
