"How are we doing this?" Sam asks glancing at the impala and back at the group.
"I say we all pile up in baby-except Lucifer, he can walk- and get to the next town and hotwire a car and send the fly boys on their way." Dean proclaims as he walks closer to baby.
"Hey that's not okay!" Moira begins, "Look you heard God in that cell because it was God, I had a sort of meeting with him in there and I am not allowed to talk about it but I know that we are ALL supposed to stay together. Something's coming and it's going to take all of us, even Lucifer. And anyways, technically they're all human right now and you are sworn to help humans." Moira pauses at the incredulous looks shot her way.
"God spoke to you?" Michael asked looking very serious. Lucifer, Gabriel and Cas all paying attention with looks of fear and nervousness.
"Yes but like I said-" Moira began before Michael interrupted
"I believe you, we will stay together" Michael spoke confidently and crosses his arms. Lucifer huffs but staying silent while Gabriel's mouth quirks in amusement. Cas still watching her with his head tilted.
"But when we get to the head quarters, you're going to tell us everything right?" Sam questioned her.
"I'm not allowed to tell you everything but there are a couple things God allowed-no encouraged me to say. So yeah" Moira spoke shifting from one foot to the other watching the two brothers whisper argue between one another.
Dean stomped angrily to the car and slams the drivers door.
Sam looks to Moira apologetically; "Okay I think we're going to go to the next town and get you a car, and you can take some of the goup in with you and follow us back okay?"
Sighing in relief Moira's shoulders relax and she nods smiling at Sam.
Sam slides into the passenger seat, and the tree archangels squeeze themselves in the back seat with Gabriel in the middle.
Cas and Moira look at each other awkwardly before looking back at the full car. Cas walks around and climbs on top of sam before shutting the passenger door.
"Come on in princess, we don't bite…hard" Gabriel sung out from the back seat with a huge grin on his face.
Grumbling quietly about the injustices in the world, Moira climbs over Lucifer and sits on Gabriel's lap. Finally Dean starts the car.
Ten minutes into the drive and the car was smoldering hot, Moira shifts uncomfortably on Gabriel's lap as the awkward silence stretched on.
She glanced over her shoulder and was met with Gabriel's smirking face. Blushing she turns her attention to Michael who has his stony glare aimed out of the window.
Turning her head to the left she looked to Lucifer who was staring at Sam, but feeling her eyes on him Lucifer glanced to Moira and smiled before looking out the window.
Deans jaw was clenched and his knuckles were white upon the stearing wheel as he drove on through the sunset, Sam glancing at him occasionally.
Cas simply watched the road hunched over to avoid hitting his head on the roof.
After two grueling, silent hours they finally rolled into a town and Dean quickly set to work on a blue Ford Fiesta that was away from the town.
The town was silent and dark at eleven oclock as Moira stood by Dean watching him hotwire the car.
When the car quietly rumbled to life, Moira slid in to the driver's seat and unlocked the doors looking back at the guys expectantly.
"Well who's riding with me-" She began before Gabriel shot his fist into the air and yelled "SHOTGUN"
Rolling her eyes, she watches as the man-child hops in to her passenger seat.
Turning back she watches as Michael gets in the backseat, and Lucifer and Cas get back in the Impala.
"Alright Moira just follow us, honk if you run into problems" Sam smiles politely as he gets back into the impala.
A few minutes on the road and Gabriel has dug out and old bag of twizzlers from the door and Michael still sits in silence.
Moira switches the radio on and listens to the orchestral music that flows out. Smiling she relaxes into the chair and follows the Winchesters.
A few hours later they finally stop outside of what appears to be and abandoned warehouse.
Dean glares at Lucifer one last time before he unlocks the door and lets the group in.
One by one the group enters and looks around before heading down the stares to the common area filled with beautiful mahogany tables and chairs.
Dean throws himself into one of the chairs and then motions to Moira, "I think it's time you spilled the beans don't you?"
Sam takes a seat next to dean looking to Moira expectantly. Slowly the group settles into an awkward formation, Michael at the head of the table, Cas to his left, Dean beside Cas and then Sam. Gabriel to Michael's right, and then Lucifer.
Moira seats herself at the other end of the table between Sam and Lucifer.
Clearing her throat she begins, " When we were in that cell, I suddenly appeared to be in a grassy meadow and in the meadow there was a table with two guys sitting at it-"
"Two guys? I thought you said God?" Sam interrupts. Moira shoots him a glare and continues on in her story.
"One guy was kind of scrawny with some scruffle and kind eyes, and the other was dressed in all black and a reseeding hairline, but still badass looking you know what im saying, like-" Moira pauses and shakes her head getting back on track.
When the scrawny one spoke it felt like ecstasy and world peace all wrapped up in one, his voice was everywhere and yet it was only coming from him. It was instantly pretty clear who I was talking to so I asked him if he was God,"
"He said yes and introduced the other guy as Death. We talked for a while, I'm going to have to skip over the classified stuff, but basically he showed me Michael and Lucifer's history, the fall, Dean and Sam's life among other things."
"I asked him a few questions and then he told me what my purpose was." Moira paused and took a breath before continuing on, ignoring the looks being thrown her way.
"He said that I was a hybrid. That Death wanted an heir, but being incapable of producing life, he and God came together and created me. God said I was some sort of Death/Angel hybrid and that some day I would be expected to take control of the reapers and help guide the souls." Moira stopped as Sam opened his mouth to speak.
"How is that even possible, I mean are you sure you weren't being tricked by some boss demon?" He asked, forehead scrunched together as he watched her.
"Even if she wasn't sure, we know God's voice when we hear it" Gabriel spoke out, "I'd be surprised if the entire host didn't hear that. And it makes sense. When God was making angels back in the day he would speak their names at their birth so that all would know. I guess the old man thinks you count as an angel and named you Azra." Gabriel finished, being uncharacteristically serious.
Everyone ponders for a few moments before Dean stands up, "But what about what you said, 'Something's coming and it's going to take all of us' what were you talking about?"
Moira frowns before replying, "That's all I can say about that matter. There is something coming and we need to be ready, all of us."
Dean falls back into his chair and pinches the bridge of his nose before getting back up and pouring himself a glass of whiskey.
"What else can you tell us?" Sam asks.
Moira breaks her stare at Lucifer to look back at Sam, "He told me part of the plan I guess. He told me why he did the things he did with Lucifer and with you two, but I cant really go into detail. What I can say is that he warned me we will all be humanoid for the next few months until we are a better team and then we can move into phase two."
"We need to learn to cooperate with each other, after we start trusting one another I can tell you about phase two." Moira finishes
Snorting Gabriel says "Good luck with that" before going to the kitchen and rummaging through the cabinets.
A few minutes later Sam gets up and heads to the library leaving Dean, Michael, Cas and Lucifer at the table with Moira.
"I don't understand, what could possibly be so bad that God would risk bringing Lucifer back for" Dean questioned
"I'm not allowed to talk about it yet." Moira speaks, staring at the table. She looks up when dean shoves his chair back.
"Well there are plenty of rooms around here, so do what you gotta do." He grumbles before tossing back the rest of his whiskey and wondering down the hall to his room.
Cas sits silently watching the two remaining archangels.
"Actually, can I talk to you two alone before you wonder off?" Moira asks Lucifer and Michael, glancing between the two.
Exchanging looks Michael stands followed by Lucifer, rolling his eyes as Moira leads the way to a random room with a pool table and dart board. Cas's eyes follow them until they're out of sight.
"So what did you want to chat about dollface, I tell you it wouldn't be my first threesome but with my brother, that might be a little kinkier than even I can handle" Lucifer taunts as he sits on the pool table.
Moira sighs in annoyance before saying, "I just wanted to let you two know, that the drama that happened between you two all those years ago was on purpose. Lucifer needed to fall in order for us to succeed in the future. God never intended for Michael to actually kill you Lucifer"
The brothers suddenly straightened up on alert.
"But he commanded me to-" Michael began before Moira interrupted.
"Yeah I know, that was the whole point. Look God knew he wasn't going to be around forever so he decided to create a slightly different angel in order to care for his future creations, the humans. He created an angel with emotions and feelings and free will so that he could understand humanity better." Moira paused glancing at the dumstruck faces in front of her before continuing
"So yeah he was a little surprised and angry when Lucifer rebelled. He'd created an angel with the ability to choose between right and wrong and that angel chose wrong. So God changed some of his plans, he wanted all of his children to have the ability to choose even if it meant them not choosing him. So when God commanded you to throw Lucifer down he expected you to side with Lucifer or at the very least question him,"
"So when you followed through with the order, God changed his plans again. Don't you see? God's plan is everchanging, he has some control but he doesn't want to control everything. That would be super boring for him. So none of his plans are set in stone, whenever something changes, a new timeline emerges and he allows it to continue. Therefor creating an infinite number of dimensions."
"What I'm trying to say is that you two don't need to fight anymore, we're way beyond that now." Moira finished with a smile before slapping Michaels shoulder and walking out of the room.
Michael and Lucifer caught each others eye and stared for a long time. Lucifer clenched his jaw looking away. Michael teared up slightly, "Lucifer, I know-"
"YOU DON'T KNOW ANYTHING!" Lucifer yelled. "What kind of father is he? He just 'decides' to let me suffer in hell. And YOU! She was right, you could have at least questioned our father before you betrayed me!"
Michael looks down at his feet before replying, "If what she's saying is true, then you're right. I shouldn't have obeyed so easily, especially when I felt so strongly against it. But Lucifer, we'd spent our whole existence going where father sent us, doing what he told us. I didn't even stop to consider there was another way, I'm sorry."
Silence rung out in the room as Michael watched his brother leaning on the pool table. Finally Michael turned and left.
Sorry about all the dialogue guys, I had to get some of the groundwork out of the way.
