Sam, Adam, and Michael stood there watching as Lucifer screamed. When the four of them woke up in the cage Michael and Lucifer had their own bodys. Michael's was a tall black haired male with blue eyes. Lucifer's was bloud haired with green eyes. "He's been at it for hours. I don't think this Crowley person is going to answer him." Adam said.
"I believe you are right." Michael said. "Lucifer. He isn't going to come.
"Your right." Lucifer said as he turned toward them for a moment before turning back around and yelling. "Asmodeus!"
"That's the name of one of the Princes of Hell." Sam said his eyes wide.
"Princes of Hell?" Adam asked.
"Yeah there are four of them." Sam said.
"True little human. What is it my Lord?" Asmodeus asked looking at Lucifer.
"Have you been summoned recently?" Lucifer questioned as he paced the edge of the cage.
"Yes, but don't worry I took care of him." Asmodeus replied with a smile.
"Good. Anything he needs you are to get for him." Lucifer said his eyes glowing with power.
"As you wish. I'll make sure he is well takin care of." Asmodeus said with a bow.
"You better." Lucifer called as the Prince of Hell walked out of the room that contained the cage.
"All that yelling and screaming just to make sure someone is taken care of." Sam said. "What you wanted to make sure whoever the poor bastard was that he was being properly tortured?" Sam hissed.
Lucifer was across the cage in a heartbeat throwing Sam up against the wall. "I would never. That's my baby brother your talking about. You little..." Lucifer snarled.
"Gabriel. He is here. In Hell. How? Why?" Michael asked walking toward Lucifer.
"He's alive." Sam said his eyes wide.
"Alive?! Lucifer explain?" Michael yelled. What had happened to his little brother.
"We fought. He got hurt. That was when I got control back. I brought him here to heal. Gave him a way to summon Asmodeus before I left to talk to you just in case something happened." Lucifer explained quickly.
"Can we trust Asmodeus?" Michael questioned.
"We don't have a choice being locked in here." Lucifer said running one hand through his hair.
"Don't have a choice about what? A voice asked form the other side of the cage.
"Trusting Asmodeus." Lucifer said as he turned toward his younger brother. "How are you here, Castiel?"
"I came to get Sam." Castiel said walking toward the tall man.
"I didn't ask you why I asked you how." Lucifer said.
"Oh... hmmm... I just flew in. The cage let me." The young angel replied.
"It must not recognize him." Michael said looking thoughtful.
"It was made for archangels." Lucifer said softly like he was reasoning out loud.
"I think your right. It's just not made to hold an angel of lower rank." Michael replied.
"That's good then Cas didn't just get himself trapped too." Sam said.
"Yes it is good. Castiel can you take Adam with you." Michael said.
"What? No! Mika! I want to stay with you." Adam said sharply grabbing onto the archangel.
"This is no place for humans Adam. Please go with Castiel." Michael whispered laying a kiss on Adam's hair.
"How did you get another vessel brothers?" Castiel asked looking from Lucifer to Michael and back.
"I just woke up with this one." Michael said. "Lucifer?"
"Same." The Morningstar replied. "You should get the humans out of here. Before the cage finishes setting itself."
"What do you mean?" Sam asked. "Isn't it just a bared box."
"No." Lucifer said with a shudder. "You need to get out of here. Fast, it's almost done."
"I'm not sure I can get them both out. I not even sure I can get Sam out." Castiel said biting his lip nervously.
"We will help you." Michael replied looking at Lucifer as the Morningstar nodded agreeing. The two archangels both laid a hand on Castiel's shoulders a low white glow surrounding them for a moment before fading. "There that should give you enough power to get them both out."
"Thank you brothers." Castiel said walking over to Sam and Adam laying a hand on their shoulders.
"Castiel just tell him." Lucifer called to his little brother.
"Tell who what Lucifer?" Castiel questioned tilting his head to the side in confusion.
"Your mate little one." Lucifer said with a smile. Castiel's eyes went wide before he just nodded and disappeared with Sam and Adam. Michael just closed his eyes with a sigh. "He's safer with them then he would be here. You know that."
"I know but..." Michael said looking upward.
"I'm sorry. You finally found your mate and had to let him go." Lucifer said as he pulled his big brother into a hug.
...
Castiel appeared within Bobby Singer salvage yard with Sam and Adam. "No. I wanted to stay." Adam called.
"You were not safe there Adam. The cage would of destroyed you." Castiel said.
"Michael." Adam said.
"Wants you safe." Castiel said.
"We'll get them out, Adam." Sam said before reaching out and laying one hand on Adam's shoulder and leading him toward the house. When knocking got no answer Sam pushed the door open. "Bobby." The hunter called heading for Bobby's living room slash office. Rounding the corner he sees the old hunter sitting at his desk with a opened bottle of whiskey beside him. "Bobby."
Bobby's head snapped up. He sat there starring at Sam and Adam for a moment before pulling his shotgun. "Prove it."
"Bobby it really is them I went and got them out of the cage." Castiel said walking around the corner into the living room behind Adam.
"How?" Bobby asked his eyes wide in shock.
"It let me in and Michael and Lucifer helped me get them out by giving me a power boost." Castiel answered. "Where is Dean?"
"Upstairs." Bobby said before pulling Sam then Adam into hugs. "I'm glad you boys are alright."
Castiel smiled at the three of them before headed upstairs to talk to Dean. If Lucifer said to tell Dean about them beening mates he would do so. "Hello Dean." The angel said in greeting when he found the hunter sitting on the side of the bed in the upstairs bedroom.
"Hey Cas." Dean replied looking up at the angel through tear glazed eyes.
"I was told to tell you something." The angel said softly.
"Well what is it." Dean asked.
"Your my mate."
"I'm your what?" Dean questioned his eyes wide in confusion.
"My mate. My other half. My... I'm not sure how to explain it so you understand. Maybe Sam can or Adam. Yes Adam might be the better choice as he is mated to Michael. He'll be able to explain." Castiel rambled.
Dean just sat there starring at the angel. "Cas. Sam and Adam are in the cage."
"No they are not. They are downstairs."
"Why didn't you say so earlier." Dean half yelled as he jumped up and ran out of the room. Castiel just blinked and followed the hunter downstairs. Dean pulled Sam into a quick hug followed by pulling Adam into one too. "I'm so glad you two are safe."
"I was safe where I was. Michael would never have let anyone or anything hurt me." Adam said.
"No Adam you weren't once the cage finishes setting it will turn on whoever is within it. Like Lucifer said it was made to hold archangels and to punish them." Castiel said as he came to stand beside Dean.
"Punish them?" Adam asked his eyes narrowing in worry.
"Yes. I don't know what it will do or how it works. The cage was made right before Michael cast Lucifer form Heaven." Castiel replied.
"Cas. What were you talking about upstairs?" Dean asked as he pulled Castiel to one side of the living room.
"Like I said maybe Adam can explain it so you understand." Castiel answered.
"Explain what?" Adam asked turning toward the two of them.
"Mates." Castiel said.
"You mean we two..." Adam said glancing back and forth between them.
"Yes." Castiel said.
"Wait their mates. Like soulmates." Sam said his eyes widen even as he smiled.
"Yes." Castiel said.
"Soulmates..." Dean squeaked looking at Castiel with wide eyes.
"Are you unpleased?" Castiel questioned tilting his head to the side. The angel seemed to hench into himself.
"What? Yes. No. I'm just in shock. Cas. Cas!" Dean said trying to explain but the angel was gone.
"Oh no.. That isn't good. Castiel. Come back he wasn't rejecting you. He was in shock. Please come back." Adam yelled.
Castiel reappeared beside the human. "But he said."
"He said yes and no and that he was in shock. Stay here and talk to him. Dean angel only have one mate. You reject him and that it for him. Think before you speak." Adam said with a glare of warning at his eldest brother.
"Come on Cas let go out to baby and talk about this." Dean said heading for the door the angel following.
"Soulmates. Hmm... That makes sense. So Dean and Cas. You and Michael." Sam said with a smile.
"Yup." Adam cheered.
...
Gabriel woke freezing cold, shirtless, and bound to a stone slab. His chest throbbed painfully as he shivered. "I see you've finally woke up."
"Asmodeus let me up. Lucifer won't be happy about this." Gabriel growled.
"Lucifer told me to take care of you and plan to do just that." The Prince of Hell said as he leaned over the bound weakened archangel.
"I doubt that this is what he meant. Now let me up." Gabriel hissed an anger his eyes glowing softly with grace.
"Now who knows what powers that voice of yours can carry better make sure you can't use it hmm." Asmodeus sang pulling a needle and thread from thin air. "Now hold still." Gabriel did anything but hold still he jerked his head back and forth repeatedly until Asmodeus grapped his jaw with one hand and held his head in place. The Prince of Hell brought the needle close to Gabriel's mouth to start to saw it shut. The archangel whimpered form the pain of the needle piercing the skin below his lower lip. Then growling again and Gabriel bit the Prince of Hell's hand. Asmodeus hissed jerking back. "Why you... you'll pay for that." Asmodeus snarled as he moved the hand that had been holding Gabriel's head in place down to the archangel's chest. Gabriel realized what the demon was going to do right before he did it but nothing could prepare him for the pain. Asmodeus held one hand over the archangel's mouth as he shoved one finger of his other hand into the stab wound on Gabriel's chest. Gabriel screamed as agony ripped though him. Asmodeus slowly removed his finger and glared down at the now sobbing Messenger. Grabbing a strap of leather he secured Gabriel's head in place and started sawing again. He quickly got the Messenger's mouth sawn shut. "There now that wasn't so hard was it." Gabriel just continued to sob in agony. His tears making the stitches around his mouth sting even more.
