Walking back into the bedroom, Molly decided to keep conversations on Balthazar to a bare minimum. By the expression on Gabriel's face the last thing that he wanted was to discuss her father in anyway.
"He has always been such a pain in the ass!"
Gabriel said coldly as he sat down on the bed in a huff. Molly turned around looking at him carefully.
"Gabriel,I really think that you should calm down. I think you are taking this a little too far. Balthazar got your point back there."
Gabriel looked up.
"No, he didn't. I will bet you a hundred dollars he will try something else soon enough."
Molly sighed before joining her lover on the bed.
"Gabriel you are getting too worked up about this. Can you calm down? This really isn't good for you."
Gabriel's golden eyes fluttered up to Molly.
"Fine."
Molly looked pleased as she took his hand in hers running her fingers over his palm.
"You'll be back to normal before long. I know its frustrating right now."
Gabriel nodded.
"Frustrating doesn't begin to cover it. Being only half charged is in an insult to what I am. I'm almost practically human…a human that can still do some nifty stuff."
"Well if it makes you feel better I'm half human and it really isn't so bad. I know this isn't what you are used to but we can make the best out of it. I read somewhere that I can take out some of my grace and give it to you."
Gabriel's head shot up.
"Absolutely not! I am not turning into some vampire or hurting you. Where are you reading this stuff?"
Molly shrugged.
"Books."
Gabriel sighed.
"No sweetie. I am not doing that. I am just going to have cool off and relax. Besides you've done so well taking care of me. I am really enjoying that. I never thought that I would enjoy having someone with me all the time as much as I am now."
Molly rolled her eyes.
"I wish you would be open to the idea. It would just take…."
"Molly, no!"
Gabriel snapped. Molly gently patted Gabriel's leg before standing up and walking to the door.
"Where are you going?"
Gabriel asked curiously. Molly turned and pointed toward the door.
"I'm going to let you calm down some."
Gabriel quickly stood pulling her back into his arms. He gently pressed her to the door snuggling his face in her hair.
"Don't go. I want you here with me. What else did you read?"
Gabriel asked before pressing a series of tender kisses down Molly's cheeks and her neck. Molly's hands instantly wrapped around shoulders. She sighed the moment that his lips locked on her neck and sucked on her tender flesh.
"Want to know what else I read about?"
"Mhm."
Gabriel mumbled not removing his face from her neck. He felt like he could never get close enough to Molly. Never in a million years did he ever plan on falling in love with someone so intensely. Gabriel, for the most part, assumed that his father hadn't bothered to give him a soul mate. Given his history it would have probably been a good thing that Gabriel hadn't found Molly (or Molly found him) until this point. He probably would have treated her the way that she deserved to be treated.
Now was another story all together! Gabriel couldn't get enough of her. Sure, a lot of it was just the puppy love of a new relationship but Gabriel knew that he was in love with her. He wouldn't have wanted to beat the ever loving shit out of Balthazar for the grief that he had caused Molly if there wasn't love there.
"I read about bonding."
Molly's voice was soft. Gabriel froze before standing up straight. He had been thinking about that from the time that he realized what Molly was to him. Making a move on her before he was talking seemed a bit weird.
"When….when are we going to do that?"
Molly asked softly. Gabriel smirked before lifting her hands over her head. He held them together before leaning down for another kiss. Gabriel let go of her hands and tilted her chin so she was meeting his gaze.
"You want me to make love to you sugar?"
Molly's blue eyes were lust filled as she looked up at Gabriel. She reached down and began to undo Gabriel's belt. The whole time she kept her eyes locked on his looking for any sign of displeasure.
"I want you. I want you so bad, Gabriel. This may sound wrong but watching you put my father into his place was a turn on."
Gabriel raised an eyebrow.
"Watching me be a loose cannon was a turn on for you? Really sugar plum? Well you're in the right place for that."
Molly continued to undo Gabriel's belt until he wrapped his hand around hers.
"Molly, you do realize what this mean right? We do this and there is no way I will be able to stay away. You think I'm protective now? Just wait until I fully claim you…you're going to think I am a psycho."
Molly didn't say anything for a moment. She knew that Gabriel would be if possible even more protective but that wasn't one of her reasons for wanting to bond with him. In fact that was one of the things that concerned her. It was hard for Molly to go from being independent all of her life to have someone who wanted to watch her every move. She had the idea that bonding could give Gabriel some of his strength back.
"I don't think it could be so bad."
Gabriel was quiet for a few moments reaching for the hem of Molly's loose shirt.
"Without getting all twilighty and weird I have been waiting for you for so long."
Molly giggled.
"You really just made a Twilight joke when we are about to bond?"
Gabriel gave her an eyebrow wiggle before tugging her shirt over her head.
"I could come up with a ton more cheesy jokes."
Molly leaned her head back against the door as the chill of he room washed over her. Gabriel stood in front of her looking watching her chest heave. He stood watching her for a moment before stepping back toward Molly.
"I'll make you feel good baby."
Right as Gabriel went to undo her bra someone started knocking on the door. Gabriel groaned as he quickly buttoned up his jeans as Molly yanked on her shirt. She turned opening the door to see Balthazar on the other side. He looked between Molly and a very pissy looking Gabriel.
"Ah looks like I was disturbing something. Dreadfully sorry about that. Gabriel, it looks like that I am about to ruin what was to be a very magical evening for you."
"Was?"
Gabriel questioned coldly. Balthazar nodded innocently,
"Have to borrow my daughter. Ciao!"
Before Gabriel could utter a word, Balthazar reached out and grabbed a hold of Molly. Both vanished before Gabriel could make a move toward his lover. Gabriel's mouth dropped and that all to familiar feeling of hopelessness hit him like a tidal wave! Trembling with rage, he knew that there was no way he could go after her. There was nothing that he could do! Never in his life had he felt more useless!
He was in such a rage that he didn't realize that the lights in the bunker was flickering and what energy he had stored was rapidly depleting!
"Gabriel!"
"Stop!"
It wasn't until Cas grabbed a hold of him and shook him did Gabriel's golden eyes return to normal.
"Gabriel stop! You have to stop!"
Meanwhile…
When Molly's world stopped spinning she stood in the middle of an empty zoo. She looked around to see Balthazar looking at her with a nonchalant expression on his face. He looked as though he regularly kidnapped people and took them to closed places.
"Uh why are we at the zoo and where is Gabriel?"
Molly questioned. Balthazar grinned.
"Don't worry, lover boy is safe at the bunker. Funny calling him lover boy when he is OLDER than me! I find that a little odd that my daughter is with someone that is millennia older than her but hey what do I know? I mean I have only been a functioning father for a small amount of time now."
Molly raised an eyebrow as she wrapped her arms around her chilled arms.
"Functioning? You consider kidnapping being functioning?"
Balthazar chuckled.
"I didn't kidnap you. I have brought you to the zoo. Isn't that something that father's do with their daughters?"
"Yeah, maybe when they are like 5. This kind of goes along with the whole pony thing. Balthazar, I'm an adult. Also I do realize that Gabriel is a lot older than me and you but can we stop talking about it huh? Sheesh. Look I need to get back to the bunker. I was in the middle of bonding before you decided to take me here."
Balthazar tilted his head.
"I don't need to know that part. I'm sure Gabriel will be patiently waiting for you return. Can't I have you for just a few moments?"
Molly sighed.
"What do you want from me?"
It was Balthazar's turn to sigh.
"Look Molly, I realize that our meeting wasn't ideal. You have to realize that having a child was never in plans. Never from the time that I was created did I ever think that I would have a child. I'm struggling with words here, darling."
Molly's critical expression softened.
"Keep trying."
She replied calmly. Balthazar took a breath.
"Molly, I know that you are well versed on what nephilim mean and about existence. That is one reason why I was a little stunned to see you standing there. I know well about Jack and his existence but realizing that I created one….was shocking. From the time that I was created until the time I came to earth to do my thing it was always ingrained in me that creating a nephilim was a big big no no! However, here you are and your living. You aren't no monster. I don't see that in you. Look at what you are doing. You're taking care of Gabriel. I for one know how difficult he can be. There are also Sam and Dean. You're are taking care of those human apes and doing a splendid job. I just want a chance. That's all that I want from you. Molly you don't have to give me answer immediately. In fact, I want you to think on it. Do we have a deal?"
Molly looked thoughtful.
"Okay. I'll think about it."
Balthazar looked pleased. He looked at his daughter closely. Balthazar couldn't help but feeling that he would grow to be quiet fond of her.
"Wonderful. Well since we are at the zoo we might as well see the animals."
An few hours later Balthazar and Molly reappeared in the bunker. Sam sat at the table looking at his laptop while Dean sat drinking a beer and watching TV. Both looked up with wide eyes.
"Balthazar you might want to run."
Dean said casually.
"Well why would I want to do….ouch!"
Balthazar shouted when Gabriel's fist collided with his nose. Molly's hand immediately went to her mouth as Gabriel aimed another whack at Balthazar hitting him in the mouth. Both Sam and Dean had to look away to keep from laughing. Normally Gabriel would have done some prank or screwed with Balthazar another angelic way. Now here he was almost completely energy depleted and did a total "Dean" move.
"Gabriel!"
Molly quickly reached out grabbing the archangel around the waist.
"Calm down!"
She hissed. Gabriel instantly froze making sure that he didn't harm Molly. He stopped moving and relaxed in Molly's embrace. Just feeling her back against him was heaven enough and knowing that he knocked Balthazar into next week was the cherry on the ice cream.
Balthazar meanwhile was holding his bleeding nose.
"Bloody hell! Gabriel, did you have to go and do that?"
Gabriel snarled as he wanted to make another go at the other angel but it wasn't going to happen with Molly attached to him.
"You just take her when we were in the middle of something! Not to mention that you didn't even both getting her sweater!"
Balthazar rolled his eyes as the bleeding stopped.
"Bloody hell Gabriel she isn't going to get a cold! Do you think that I am going to let something happen to her?"
Gabriel nodded.
"I think you are going to get her hurt and I am not about to let that happen. Father or not you are not to just come and whisk her away whenever you find it pleasing to you. You know what hell I can cause you."
Balthazar's face went a little nervous at that.
"For fucks sake you are obsessed with her. I think dad did your bond a little too intense. I'm out of here. This place is a literal funny farm. Molly, darling, when your lover boy comes back to his senses and isn't a loose cannon do let me know. I would love to see you again without getting my lights knocked out. No matter if he is at 100% archangel power or not, he hits hard."
Balthazar disappeared without another word. Molly slowly let go of Gabriel so the archangel could turn to look at her.
"What happened?"
He questioned softly. Molly shrugged.
"Well we went to the zoo, his idea. Apparently he still believes that I am four. If we have a pony show up here soon I won't be entirely shocked. We also talked. I mean actually talked, no insults. Gabe, I know that you don't trust him…"
"Under statement."
Gabriel growled. Molly gave him a look of annoyance before continuing.
"He wants to get to know me and I kind of want to get to know him. You're welcome to watch like a hawk. I don't mind."
Gabriel sighed.
"I knew that was coming and you can bet your sexy ass I will be watching like a hawk! If that makes you happy….fine."
Molly looked pleased.
"We also talked about something else."
Gabriel sat down on the couch trying to fight that feeling that something else bad was about to happen.
"Yeah, what's that?"
Molly glanced at Dean who was tilting his beer trying to get what was left of his drink. She smiled when looking back at Gabriel.
"I'm going to be a hunter!"
The bunker went dead silent. Sam looked up with wide eyes while Jack who had just walked into the room froze in the door way. Cas immediately stood, knowing that his assistance was soon about to be needed. Dean was the one who was nodding in agreement that this seemed like a good idea.
Gabriel started laughing, which seemed to stun everyone. Jack looked at his uncle before titling his head. He was about to question Gabriel to see if he was okay but Gabriel started talking before he could make a comment.
"That's cute sugar. What did you want to tell me?"
Molly frowned.
"That is what I wanted to tell you. Dean and I went target shooting the other day. I hit everything perfect. I guess my nephilim powers made me do even better. Dean said that I could tag along with him and Sam if I wanted. Balthazar thinks it would be a good idea too. I mean nephilim are more powerful than the angel that created them…."
Gabriel shook his head standing up.
"Oh sweet merciful crap stop! Are you trying to kill me? I mean really?!"
Molly shook her head.
"No, Gabriel this is something that I want to do. I can help Sam and Dean with Lucifer. We have to keep Jack safe."
Gabriel looked even more livid.
"You do realize that Lucifer is an archangel yeah? He is as powerful as I am, fully charged. Sugar, I could kill you in one snap. Do you think that you could stand up to him? No, you can't! Furthermore, I am not going to let anything happen to you or Jack. Do you even care how worried I would be the whole time you would be gone on one of these hunts? There is no way this will happen!"
Molly looked down.
"Gabriel, you can't do much of anything right now. Lucifer would kill you. Oh wait, he's already done that."
Gabriel's frown went if possible even darker.
"Well thank you for reminding me. You know what, FINE! If you want to go get yourself killed, have at it! I'm sick of people not listening to me! I try and teach people lessons and keep humans safe and this is what I get. Well you know what I am fucking done!"
Gabriel turned and walked out of the room without another word. Jack looked back at Molly sadly. The expression on her face was heart breaking!
"I don't think he meant what he said."
Jack said soothingly. Molly shook he head.
"He meant every word. I'm going to get some air."
When she walked out the door, Sam leaned back in his chair.
"It appears the happy couple are no longer happy. We have one pissed off archangel and one devastated nephilim."
Dean meanwhile, stood looking a little giddy.
"No dude, we have a new member for our club!"
