This is a crossover of Archangel John from my "Our Father The Angel' and I will be bringing Dante into that storyline after this chapter for an arc I will be doing focusing on Ruby returning and trying to open the second Devil's Gate that Bobby has found. I'm not real sure how long the arc will be, probably two or three chapters at the most. Ruby will get her butt handed to her and she will suffer, I promise. So check out Finch in that storyline for a bit, probably starting in a few days.

Please enjoy a confused Dante and see how he handles his unexpected visit from John, cheery ho!

Dante sat shaking from the near wreck he just had. He wasn't sure what scared him more, the sudden entrance in the seat next to him or the fact that John Winchester had just materialized into his car, a guy who had been dead for quite a while, he was sure. He threw salt at him and the guy just smiled at him, smirking? Did he dare try the holy water or the silver? What the hell was John Winchester, late father and his uncle, dead of course, suddenly doing in the passenger side of his car?

Dante Finch was now officially freaked out. John, however, looked amused and , was he actually taking the time to admire Finch's car? Dante sat staring at John, unable to speak.

"Yes, Nephew, I am John Winchester, your late uncle and father to Samuel and Dean Winchester." John stated. " I am also John Winchester, archangel of the Lord and second lieutenant in Heaven's Holy Army, 3rd Brigade." Dante continued to stare in confusion.

"You're dead!" He gasped out, people did not just appear in his car and this guy sat there like he owned the thing.

"In this world, I am. In another, I have returned to help my sons fight great evil on Earth. I am from that world." John explained, the boy really needed to breath now, he looked like he was about to pass out.

"I would rather talk about this over a beer if you don't mind." John drawled smirking still. Dante forced himself to breath and not run away in terror.

"Um…" Dante stuttered out, not knowing what to say. What do you say to an archangel who happens to look like your dead uncle and offers to take you out for a beer to talk? He didn't know but he knew this was strange, even for him.

John was already out of the car, admiring its lines and bumpers, the grill and the top. "Steven did a great job fixing up this old wreck didn't he? Damn if you can't even tell it used to be a throwaway from Bobby's salvage yard!" John exclaimed into Dante's driver side window and chuckled as the tall man nearly hit his head on the roof of his own car.

"I'm not going to hurt you, Dante. It's really me." John smiled, sending calming vibes toward Dante, who looked like he was unsure of how to deal with this whole situation. It was probably true, John had to admit.

"Ok, I'll trust you on that." Dante said quietly, still freaking out but for some reason he was calming down, which was weird. John smiled as the vibes he was sending calmed the man enough to listen to him.

"I need to talk to you. It's important." John eyes bore into his, now telegraphing an urgency he hadn't before. Dante found himself agreeing even though he was not sure if he should trust this guy.

Dante and John sat inside the little tavern and ordered a couple beers. Dante eyed the man suspiciously but listened like he had promised he would and damned if the guy wasn't making sense.

"You heard of the Devil's Gate, right?" John asked, making sure they were on the same page here.

"Yeah, your sons stopped it from opening, with your help of course, at least that's what Bobby tells me." Dante agreed.

"Well, in our world that happened, too. Except it got opened briefly and some got out. This isn't about that gate, though." John explained. "Turns out that Devil's Gate was only his second try at it. He had found a door to hell earlier and put up a gate on it as well, that was the first Devil's Gate. That is the one the demon is trying to open." He was glad Dante was listening now, he didn't have much time here.

"There's another one?" Dante asked surprised, how many more of those were there?

"Just the one other, that's it." John pointed out, reading his thoughts.

"So why are you in this world talking to me then?" Dante asked confused, he jumped from his own world just to talk?

"No, I have come to ask you to help stop the demon from opening it. I will be bringing you into our world through a portal I will be creating once I have all of you ready to come over. Will you help us?" John prayed silently the Pheonix would say yes, he would be a good choice for the team.

"Well, let's get one thing straight first. You're an Archangel of the Lord and you want me to help my cousins stop a Devil's Gate from opening in your world. Am I right so far?" Dante asked, thinking he had a handle on this now.

"Yes." John nodded.

"You want me to come to your world and help you fight it?" Dante asked, "You do know what I am right?" As far as most were concerned he would be considered half demon and therefore evil.

"A Pheonix, well, half human with a Pheonix deity living in your blood and body. Not a demon, a deity, a healing and protective one if I miss my guess." John smiled again and waited for Dante to respond.

"Yeah, exactly. So you don't see me as demonic. Most hunters would." Dante couldn't believe this.

"I am an Archangel of the Lord, and I see the truth. They don't. Besides I'm a Winchester, too. We've always been a bit rebellious that way." John smiled on, seeing Dante might be agreeing to this.

"The others will see it that way, too? " Dante asked, unsure if the others in that world would understand.

"I'm sure they will. We will explain it. Bobby will too, don't worry." John asked, hoping this meant he would say yes.

"Well then, yes, I will help. When is this little get together?" Dante asked, he needed to get some weapons together and make some arrangements for the bar with the manager. He only needed a day at most to be ready to go.

"Soon if the signs are right. The demon can only be defeated by 7 holy warriors and I only have five now, counting you. I have two others to visit after this." John said, this was going to be a long trip, ugh.

"Fine, just give me some warning and I'll be there with Bells on." Dante smiled and hugged his uncle finally. They looked out the window at his car, "So you think we did well on it, the car I mean?"

"Oh yeah, it looks almost as good as my Impala does, almost." John chuckled at Dante's proud expression as he admired his car, it was mingled with love and home as well.

"Wait, what about your sons? Do I tell them?" Dante asked, the boys would want to know this.

"Tell them nothing. The timeline must be preserved and telling them would disrupt it, as much as I would like to see them, I can't risk it." He felt sad at this but took a breath. "Don't tell the others in my world too much about yours either, it runs the same risk. It could undo reality as we know it."

"I won't. So you'll let me know when to be ready right?" Dante asked one last time. He would help but damned if he wasn't confused by the timeline and reality stuff.

"I will." John said as he hugged him one more time, "I must go. I will see you in a couple days. Around midnight when time is the thinnest, that will make it easier to bring you all in one trip."

"I'll be ready." Dante said and watched as the man just vanished from sight. "Okay, so maybe something stronger now." He muttered and ordered some whiskey. It seemed like that sort of day, damned if it didn't.

Uncle John looked good for a dead guy, he sure did.

On the heels of that, he had time to think "Another Devil's Gate?" He took the time to figure out how to bring up the subject with his cousins, without telling them the truth or them seeing it. He then pulled out his phone and tried to figure out what to say. He was so not doing this in person. Those Winchesters were too observant as it was.

Alright, now I will be bringing Finch over to the Devil's Gate storyline in ' Our Father The Angel' soon. I just have to let John get the other's lined up and then I can get it up and running. I hope you will take a look at it, when it's up and posted. I have to get Henriksen and Nancy from 'Hunter's Rising' and the Anderson's from the 'Like Father Like Son' and I will have my 7 warriors. I hope you will take a peek at it once the story line starts about the Devil's Gate. I should have it up in a few days, promise.

Please review if you liked it, please don't flame.
