Ugh crappy english ahead. Seriously i think this time my english sucks so bad...
I am so sorry. (But this chapter was hard to translate)

Anyway i've finaly been able to update on this fanfic.
I'll try to put some more "action" into the next chapters.

And by that way i have seen i've got some pretty nasty problems with some of my fanfictions over here.
I don't know where that problem came from, but in some of my fanfics the sentences are kind of
squeezed together. I don't know how to change that or to get rid of this problem.
Anyone here who has the same problem? It is very annoying :(.

Chapter 7

"And? Did you find anything out about Cas?"

Sam and Bobby turned their heads at the same time as Dean walked into the office.

His steps were slow and whenever he put his right leg onto the ground he scrunched up his face in pain.

"Dean, we have told you, you should be resting," it came from Sam and he wanted to get up and run to the side of his brother to help him, but Dean raised his hands and showed his brother that he didn't need his help.

Stubborn asalways! Sam thought to himself and he had to control himself not to roll his eyes as he sat down again.

"I'm fine, Sam, don't worry about me."

"Dean, he's right. You should really go back to bed and try -"

"I'm fine, Bobby!" Dean interrupted the older hunter and he sat down on one of the free chairs.

"It's up to you boy. And to come back to your question: No, we haven't found out anything about Cas. Gabriel has also been around for hours on the road and interviewed every angel he could find, but so far we haven't received a response from him."

Dean hung his shoulders and sighed.

"Cas you idiot..." he whispered softly to himself and he clenched his hands into fists.

So much that his knuckles turned white.

The older of the two Winchester brothers was about to open his mouth and say something, when the sound of fluttering wings prevented him and a few moments later Gabriel was in the room.

The archangel looked as if he was straight on the run because he was breathing heavily and clutching his right arm and only now Sam, Dean and Bobby could see the blood that was on the sleeve of his jacket.

"Gabriel? What happened to you? "It came from Sam.

"Calm down Samantha, that's just a little scratch. I'll be fine, " God's messenger grumbled and he sat down on Bobby's table.

"That does not answer his question," Bobby said and he and Sam moved around the table in order to get a better look at the angel.

"Come on, Gabriel, spit it out already: Where have you been? Have you found out anything about Castiel?" Dean wanted to know.

Gabriel ran his fingers through his hair before he looked around and finally opened his mouth to give them an answer to their questions.

"I did indeed. I was in heaven, where I interviewed all the angels who crossed my path. And I've made some interesting discoveries."

He paused for a moment, panting as the pain in his arm increased.

"And that would be?" Bobby wanted to know.

"The angels are restless. Something is happening and it has certainly to do with Lucifer."

"Lucifer?"

Dean's hands clenched into fists again.

"What about him?" He wanted to know.

"It looks as if he would search for renegade angels."

"That's nothing new Gabriel. He is doing that since he is out of the cage. Come on, tell us something new!"

"Calm down Dean-o. That was only half of what I found out. I was able to find out that Lucifer has already managed to pull a few of the angels on his side. Some of them attacked me because they act as some kind of spies in heaven to spy on Michael and the others. It has come to my attention that Lucifer had contact to another, fallen angel which he found seriously injured. Doesn't that ring a bell inside you?"

"Do you think this angel is Cas?"

"I think yes Dean. And there's something else. I have heard that this angel is supposed to be something special. What's so special about him I don't know, because before I could figure out they have discovered and attacked me. I fled as fast as I could. Well, and here I am."

"So Cas is still alive?"

Dean's eyes lit up and also Sam and Bobby sighed in relief.

Gabriel nodded to his question, but his eyes remained hard and he almost seemed cold.

"Okay, if he's alive, doesn't that mean that Lucifer has pulled him onto his side? I mean, Lucifer is not an idiot. He kills those who do not want to join him. Since Cas is still alive should mean that he has joined him, right?"

"Sam! How can you say such a thing?"

"He's right Dean. We have to take everything into consideration. Even that..." it came from Bobby.

"But...wait a second. Gabriel. What do you mean by "This angel is special"? Did you mean Cas?"

"I don't know, Dean. Like I said that was all what I have been listening to before they attacked me. I just know that we have to be very careful. When my little brother has really joined Lucifer's side, then we have a problem. Above all, we don't know what plans Lucifer has in mind for him."

"What are we waiting for?"

Dean rose heavily from his chair, gasped again as the pain ran through his leg up into his brain, but he tried to ignore it.

"Dean! Stop it, what should we do? Shall we just go to Lucifer and fight against him? That is absolutely impossible. Not even Gabriel would stand a chance against him. The only one who can fight him is Michael and without his vessel he will not do it and I don't think that you will say "Yes" to him now!"

Dean thought about it for a moment before he hung his head and sat back down.

"You're right, Sammy. But I am just worried about him."

A gentle hand was laid on his shoulder and when he looked up, he looked at Gabriel's almost gentle face.

"We're all worried about him Dean. But we can't act rashly. First of all, we need to find out where he is and we have to make sure that he has not joined Lucifer's side. Personally I can't imagine that. Sometimes Castiel is an idiot, but he knows that Lucifer can never be trusted. But still we have to be sure."

Dean sighed and nodded his head.

"I understand..."

"Good. Bobby? I hope you don't mind if I stay here overnight to take care of my wounds?"

"No, that's okay. Personally I feel much safer to know that an archangel is around me."

Gabriel smiled, squeezing Dean's shoulder gently and he turned around and went into the adjoining living area and the others followed him also a little later.

Only Dean stayed behind for a while, thinking.

And inside he hoped so much that Castiel was not so stupid and made common cause with Lucifer.

Because then they would have a huge problem...
