Sam and Dean were thrilled to see each other, sharing a quick hug.

"Man, Dean, I thought you were gone." Sam shook his head.

Dean smirked. "I didn't miss you at all. Bitch."

"Jerk." Sam shot back, the two grinning.

Roger and Gabriel greeted Castiel warmly, and Lucifer and Michael explained what Lucifer had told Roger to Gabriel.

When everyone had settled down, Michael cleared his throat. "Okay, I think there's some confusion on the prides." He glanced at Sam and Dean, who nodded.

Lucifer ran his hand through his blond hair. "Okay. Raphael, Michael, Gabriel and I, were best friends growing up. Raphael was always a little odd, but we didn't realize how bad it was. Until Michael was named successor to the pride."

Sam nodded slowly, but Dean was confused. "How do they fit into this?" He pointed to Roger and Castiel.

"We don't really." Roger shrugged. "Go on Luce."

Lucifer continued. "I was framed for stealing and vandalizing. I was exiled, because it looked like I was framing Michael. We think Raphael framed me, so when Michael took over he'd be second-in-command."

"Then I faked my death." Michael added. "And apparently Raphael became second-in-command."

Castiel nodded. "Why did he want Roger to tell him where you were?" He asked Gabriel.

Gabriel shifted his weight. "I knew Raphael had framed Luce."

"And you didn't say anything!" Lucifer exclaimed, Michael grabbed him to hold him back.

Gabriel swallowed. "I didn't know until later. I was talking to someone and they mentioned that their blanket, which had been ripped up, only had three claw marks. It should've had four. I remembered that a claw had been found in an earlier attack. But Luce had all his claws. So I went to Raphael, trying to convince him, but he refused to listen. Later I noticed he had three claws on one front paw. The fourth was growing back." He shrugged. "Raphael must have figured out I'd realized he was behind the attacks, because he got even weirder around me. But he knew I could still expose him."

Lucifer growled. "Why didn't you back then?"

"I had the fact that Raphael had lost a claw. That didn't prove you didn't do it." Gabriel argued. "Raphael's popularity was growing at the time, I wouldn't have been able to convince anyone. I was already trying to argue against the fighting, everyone would've assumed I'd made it up!"

Lucifer slumped slightly. "I suppose so." He sighed, sitting down on the grass.

Dean suddenly blinked. "Aw, crap. Bobby's going to kill us!"

"Bobby?" Sam asked. "He lives near here?"

"Yeah, he lives with a were-crow named Crowley." Dean gestured towards the mountains he'd come from.

Sam got to his feet. "I'd like to see Bobby again."

Lucifer shrugged. "Then go. Roger ought to go too, so you can get to our hideout."

"Why would we want to?" Dean asked. "No offense, but-"

Roger cut him off. "They're planning an attack on Zachariah and his pride."

Silence fell for a moment, then Gabriel spoke.

"Then I'm in. The Pride could use with a change."

Roger glanced at Michael and Lucifer. "I haven't changed my mind."

"Count me in." Sam added. "Just let me say hi to Bobby first."

Dean glanced at Castiel. "What about you?"

"No. I'm not very good at fighting." Castiel murmured.

Roger snorted. "You're just fine."

"We could train you." Michael offered.

"Plus, you're the quietest panther I know." Roger added. "You could get into the middle of the cave before anyone noticed you."

"Fine. I'll fight." Castiel agreed.

Dean turned to Lucifer. "Then I'm in too."

Michael walked over. "Good. We'll head back, get some prey on the way there, and rally them up."

"Don't worry, we won't attack until we're ready." Lucifer added.

Gabriel smirked. "Good."

"Let's go." Dean suggested, glancing towards the plateau they'd come down from.

When they reach the plateau with the rabbits Sam and Dean were clearly exhausted.

"You can get use to climbing." Castiel told them, as they panted.

Sam stumbled, Dean started forward to help his brother but Gabriel moved against Sam to support him.

"Hey. Keep your paws off my brother." Dean told Gabriel.

Sam made a weird noise, and Dean froze. "Oh, hell no." Roger looked at Dean, and lay down, shaking. Dean could tell he was trying not to laugh.

Castiel flicked his tail. "What's wrong Dean?"

"That guy is banging my brother!" Dean practically yelled, and Roger lost it altogether. The panther shifted human, and was bent over in laughter.

Dean stalked past him. "Can it." Roger laughed even harder. He made a noise, and it soon became clear he was trying to speak, but couldn't.

"He's gone crazy." Dean stated.

"Not just now he didn't." Castiel replied. Roger laughed harder.

Gabriel let out a huff. "He's slap-happy."

Roger started to breathe again, slowly inhaling.

"If Mr. Chuckles here is done, can we move on?" Dean stated. Roger made a noise, clearly trying not to laugh.

"Like I tried to say though, it's not like you're not doing it with Cas." Roger panted, turning back into a panther.

Dean stared at him. "I'm not."

"Oh." Roger flattened his ears.

"Really?" Sam asked, which made Dean glare at his brother.

"Doesn't mean he doesn't want to." Gabriel quipped. "You can tell when they look at each other, those really long looks when they don't say a thing, they're mentally undressing each other."

"EW!" Sam and Roger yelled. Sam made a gagging noise and Roger pretended to die.

Dean growled. "All of you shut up."

"Mental images, ugh!" Roger grumbled.

Gabriel snorted. "Always knew you thought about Castiel naked."

Castiel's mouth fell open, but Roger retorted.

"Cas isn't the one scaring my mind Gabe." He glanced at Dean and shuttered.

"Ha, freaking ha." Dean growled.

Crowley and Bobby were on the front porch, when the group showed up.

"I thought you were going hunting, not looking for more mouths to feed." Crowley commented.

Bobby glared at him as he stood up. "Sam?"

The tall wolf grinned. "Hey, Bobby." They shared a quick hug, and Sam introduced Gabriel and Roger. Roger nodded in greeting, and Gabriel smirked.

Crowley came down off the porch. "Nice to meet you."

"That's Crowley." Dean told them.

Roger and Gabriel turned to look at him together.

"No, really, I thought it was your mother." Roger stared at him.

Gabriel said at the same time. "I would've never guessed."

Crowley chuckled. "I think I might like you two."

Roger grinned. "Glad to hear it."

"You compliment us." Gabriel smirked.

Dean groaned. "Did they always do that?" He asked Cas.

The panther nodded. "They have always had a similar sense of humor."

Bobby glanced at Roger, who was shifting his weight. "Got somewhere to be, boy?"

"No. I just, I want to be planning the attack on Zachariah's tribe."

Crowley looked slightly confused. "I think you need to explain some things."

Sam glanced at Roger, who shrugged. "Might as well." The panther muttered.

Sam nodded and started to tell his story.
