KING OF HEAVEN an etched gold plaque reads.

'I'm not worthy' a deep voice sighs. The man reaches into his trench coat for a key to fit the keyhole below the plaque. The keyhole radiates a dim, pale white color. The key is just like any sterling silver key, however in almost unreadable bold font on the foot of the key, it reads:

CASTIEL (aka: our God and saviour.)

'Thats inappropriate..' the man murmurs.

Well better get over with it Castiel thinks as he gently turns the key into the lock. Both lock and key radiate before disintegrating right infront of his eyes. The door opens.

Clap. Clap.

'Uh oh'

The once dark room now a lit. The enclosure is full of beings clothed in white. They are cheering. Why? Castiel wonders taken aback. 100's maybe 1000's crowded below the fluffy staircase near where he stood. The room was covered in a heavy layer of mist. He surely missed this place.

Castiel beamed a smile of approval as he headed down the white, cloudy, spiral staircase. The further down he descended, the clearer the faces were. Angels. Well duh he smirked at the thought of his silliness. Some faces he knew..some not. Regardless they all had one thing in common. Being welcome.

'CASTIEL!' the crowd chanted. Almost instantly the seemingly endless crowd parted, leaving all but one angel. He stood meters away where Castiel stood. An angel he knew all too well. Gabriel. Gabriel was clothed in a long, white robe, it looked almost identical to the robe Castiel was forced to wear when he was injured. Castiels smile disappeared all too suddenly to be replaced by a dropped jaw.

'Brother!' Gabriel outstretched his arms.

'BROTHER!' the crowd repeated, Castiel should have chuckled at the notion but couldn't move, he couldnt speak.

Gabriel wrapped his arms around Castiel. Castiel identified his gesture to be warm and welcoming but he couldn't make himself thank him. Return the gesture. Anything. It was clearly out of Castiels character. Gabriel noticed this almost immediately.

'Hey what is wrong kiddo' Gabriel spoke, both hands placed on Castiels shoulders.

'You are not real. None of this is real. No-' Castiel spoke too soon. He was never well trained at speaking after thinking.

'Shh' Gabriel hugged Cas once more, this time tighter and warmer. At least it is more bearable than Cupids hugs. 'Aww' the crowd chanted monotonously once again.

Upon finally releasing Castiel all Castiel wanted to do was demand answers.

'Allow me. But first.' Gabriel hushed Castiel. Two woman appeared from either side of the crowd and began to gently tug at each arm of his trench coat.

'WAIT' Castiel exclaimed alarmingly his face full if panic. He exclaimed Gripping the each of the woman's shoulders. Thank god for his excellent peripheral vision. Two brunettes, one slightly lighter shade and curlier than the other. Both similar heights wearing similar white dresses.. Twins. He hadn't seen them before. But he clearly felt too violated to care.

Gabriel burst into laughter. Castiel was not amused.

'Oh brother...your...face' Gabriel managed.

Gabriel clicked both fingers and Castiel started to radiate much like the keyhole and the key. Although this time it was momentary. Castiel had hoped Gabriel didn't make him naked. He looked down. He knows all too well that Gabriel is as trustworthy as a child.

Castiels vessels clothing was replaced with white ones, identical to Gabriels'.

Castiel must have been admiring his garments for quite some time because he didn't realize Gabriel standing beside him his arm hanging loosely around his neck.

'Shall we begin..' Gabriel gestured Castiel to walk down the endless white pathway. Castiel nodded.

(In the tune of 'hey Brother')

GABRIEL: Hey Cassy, there is much I should tell you I know.

Ok I get it, I should actually explain everything.

But hey we all have our secrets today.

Like did you realize Sammy is actually gay?

'What how did you find out? You kno-' Castiel attempted to interject. Gabriels expression flickered for a moment to a look of annoyance. Maybe Castiel should try and sing.

GABRIEL: Come on he didn't know?

CASTIEL: Oh, our father will punish you.

But, firstly tell me why you are here.

You should actually be...

You see...

CASTIEL: Deaded, you are deaded to me.

GABRIEL: Hey, Cassy, what does deaded mean,

Did you, pick it up from the world below this room.

Hey, we have reached the end of this walkway.

So it's time to pray and proclaim you king of heaven.

The crowd instantly began to cheer. Castiel turned to face their direction. The walkway no longer remained, as the Angels instantly filled the spaces. Castiel also could no longer see the staircase he once descended from as the room was either full of white, fluffy clouds or the crowds of Angels. Castiel examined the crowd as they continued to cheer. The two twins he recognized beforehand in the front row gazed at him intently both clapping less dramatically than the rest. He wondered why. But before he could gather his thoughts Gabriel placed a gold halo on his messy dark brunette hair, the halo instantly disintegrated and gold wings sprouted from Castiels back. The wings grew larger and as they did the crowd roared. The wings now larger than his vessels body cocooned and seemingly engulfed Castiel.

All Castiel could hear was the crowd gasp.

Then silence... and darkness.
