The next morning, Sam woke up with the strange sensation on being disorientated and confused. Like when you were pulled out of an intense dream and can't immediately tell what is reality and what had been the dream.

He sat in bed for a while, blinking the sleep away while trying to get his bearings.

"Man", groaned Dean, entering the room halfway sleepwalking. "I had the weirdest dream last night. Dude you wouldn't believe how fucked up my mind must be…"

"Let me guess", interrupted Sam, who slowly started to remember why he felt so terrible. "You dreamed Crowley was a yellow-eyed snake and he was being cosy with Balthazar, who is calling himself Aziraphale and we decided to get drunk and forget we ever saw them kiss?"

Dean gave his brother a blank look. "Yes…", he stammered irritated, eyes Sammy careful like he had grown a second head or used demon powers to read his mind, "how did you know?"

"I don't think it was a dream Dean", explained Sam, getting up and kicking a few empty beer bottles across the room in the process.

The words took a while to register in Dean's alcohol fogged mind. "Awwwwwww crap!"

In their still half-drunk it made a lot of sense to storm into Bobby's room at half past 7 on a Sunday morning and wake him up by yelling and complaining about crazy demons and insane angels.

Bobby's wasn't really up to that shit just yet, so he too started yelling for a while. It was a good thing that they had the entire part of the house for themselves, as they might have woken up their hosts otherwise.

Of course those two were still deep asleep snuggled tightly together in their master-bedroom. After the two Winchester morons had left the night before, Crowley and Balthazar had sent a long time talking and planning their next move.

They might not be in any immediate danger, but if they played this wrong they could end up dead before breakfast. There was no way of knowing how Sam or Dean would react once they got used to the idea of a demon being friendly with an angel.

For sure there would be interrogations whether Crowley had put a mind-whammy on Balthazar or drugged the poor innocent angelic being.

There was the off chance to succeed with erasing their mind of last night, but it would be even worse once they figured out that someone had screwed with their minds.

And to be honest, it felt nice to tell someone for once instead of hiding and sneaking around all day.

After hours spend together on the couch, making fun of the brothers, giving each other comfort and assuring the partner about their plan, they finally went to bed to get at least some sleep before facing the devil… or rather the Winchesters. But for the King of Hell and his angel the true devil wasn't Lucifer but these two denim wrapped nightmares.

When they finally managed to get their acts together and talked like civilized hunters, (i.e. grunting, glaring and insulting) Sam and Dean reported what they had witnessed the night before.

How Balthazar was actually called Aziraphale and has lived on earth since the beginning of humankind. How he used to be a powerful and high ranking angel with a flaming sword, but gave it to Eve because she was pregnant and the forest was dangerous.

About the great tempter Crowley and how he brought death to Adam and Eve and got them kicked out of Eden in the process.

And how this weird pair of star-crossed lovers prevented the first apocalypse, some odd 20 years ago.

Silence fell after the brothers had finished their crazy tale. Bobby blinked at them unfazed, sorting through all the madness for the past couple of days.

"So Crowley is a fallen angel", broke Bobby the deafening silence after a while, "well that explains a few things."

"Woah", shrieked Dean very manly in surprise while Sam stammered in confusion, "what? Angel?... huh?"

Bobby just shook his head at those idijits. They were lucky they had their good looks, otherwise they might very well have been dead a few times over… what they actually had been, so… not even their looks could helped them much.

"If he is the original serpent of Eden how you said, that means that he has to be one of the first fallen angel who were cast out of heaven along with Lucifer in the rebellion", explained Bobby patiently, "we're in the middle of the Judaeo-Christian apocalypse – haven't you idijits read anything in the bible?"

"Well.. uhmm", mumbled Dean at the same time Sam tried to find an excuse for himself, "you know… uhmm."

Bobby had only one response for these two. "Idijits!"

""Actually", exclaimed Sam, as if he had a sudden insight, "if Balthazar is still alive… you think Gabriel could still be around somewhere?

"Yeah", agreed his brother "might be. It certainly would fit this douche's character to pull a stunt like that."
