Runaway

Gabriel took a vessel on Earth and hid among humans. He didn't want his brothers to find him ever. The humans realized that Gabriel was more than human, so he fled. He needed to change his identity. He remembered that last fight that Michael and Lucifer had had.

He is a deceiver, a trickster.

Gabriel grinned to himself. He remembered how Lucifer had been, before things had gotten really bad, fun loving and, well, free. That's how Gabriel wanted to be. He didn't want to be reminded of his past life at all. How he had been stiff and formal, just like Michael. Always taking Daddy's orders. So Gabriel made up his mind. He would be known simply as the Trickster. He would take orders from no one. He would deceive the humans often, for their creation had destroyed Gabriel's family. He would not love again.

Gabriel heard a loud ringing in his mind. Looking skyward, he saw a huge orange flame, plummeting towards the earth. He lowered his gaze to the plane where his true form resided. In the center of the ball of flame… oh, Dad. No, please no. In the center of the flame was Lucifer. And the flame itself… the flame was Lucifer's wings. His beautiful golden wings were burning off. Gabriel cried, for his most beloved brother had fallen, had been sentenced to damnation.

Gabriel could feel Michael's voice ring out in his head.

Lucifer has fallen. The Cherubim have fallen from grace because of him. We will now be known as Archangels, to sever any connection to the traitor. Any who followed him will fall with Lucifer. Quite a few more glowing balls rained upon the earth. Then Gabriel felt Michael's voice in his head. It was different though. Michael was addressing only him.

Gabriel, where ever you are, please come home Brother. I miss you Brother. You are welcome back any time you choose to come. Michael's voice went silent. Gabriel never acknowledged it. He did not want to be associated with Heaven ever again. They had betrayed him. Michael had betrayed him. He could never forgive him for that. Nor could he forgive Lucifer. His entire family had betrayed him. Family was a feeble thing. It broke easier than the weak minds of humans.

Loki turned his back on the life he had once known. He would never go back to it. Never.


So Gabriel ran away. I actually cried when I wrote this.
