A/N: I should probably add less characters, I know, but I just love them all too much. I apologise.

"So, the crazy hot bitch was your sister?" Dean asked Arthur.

Amy suspected Arthur had never heard the words 'crazy hot bitch' strung together as part of a sentence, but it was easy to catch the gist of Dean's question from the tone in which in was asked.

"Yes," Arthur said glumly staring down at the lukewarm and still untouched hot chocolate the Doctor had persisted in ordering everyone. The group, now reduced to eleven after Merlin's untimely departure, were seated in the café of the ice-rink at a table booth. "She's my sister, she's an insane, cruel and malicious person who desires my place on the throne with a burning passion and will go to all means to achieve her goal. And now she has Merlin."

"Arthur," Gwen said gently placing a comforting hand upon her husband's slightly shaking arm, "We will get him back, I promise."

"But, we're missing the big question," the Doctor mused aloud, "What does Morgana want with him? And who exactly is she working for?"

Arthur threw the Timelord a disgusted look. "Does it matter? Merlin is missing and Morgana could be doing anything with him. Couldn't you at least pretend to care?"

The Doctor smiled sadly. "Oh, but that's my problem Arthur. I care far too much."

Sam cleared his throat awkwardly. "Okay so. This Morgana. I think it's safe to assume she's working for Loki, yeah?"

"Loki?" Castiel repeated in a startled tone, "I know that name."

"You do?" Dean asked. He was kind of used to Cas knowing a lot of strange people via angel connections.

"Yes," Castiel said, "And so do you two."

"Loki? Wait, hang on. That's the name Gabriel used," Sam said, eyes widening in shock as realization dawned. "Are you seriously suggesting Gabriel is behind this?"

"I take it Loki is the person behind these events," Cas said, "But no, it's not my brother. Gabriel took the name Loki as a false identity. Over the years, as you know, Gabriel developed a fondness for trickery and fooling others. His escapades are childish pranks in comparison to what the real Loki is capable of. The real Loki dabbled in such dark magic that his powers are perhaps equal to that of us angels. Maybe even more so."

"Pity we don't have Gabriel here," Sam said. "He could be a huge help."

"Well. This is great." Rory said, eating a cookie miserably. Rory was probably the only person on the planet capable of combining the emotion of misery with the action of eating a cookie. "And we're stuck here now, aren't we? Now that the TARDIS is gone?"

"Hold on," Dean said, "Your box is gone?"

"Box," the Doctor echoed sceptically, "From what you've seen of her, she's sexy, clever, bigger on the inside and can travel through time and space and box is the best you can come up with?"

"But it's – or she I guess, is missing?"

"Well yes."

Sherlock sighed. "Honestly, it pains me to be in your company."

Dean ignored the comment and turned to speak to Castiel. "But what about your angel mojo Cas? That's still working, right?"

Castiel fidgeted uncomfortably. "I'm afraid not," he admitted, "What with so much of reality as we know it collapsing, my powers have gone rather haywire. To attempt to jump dimensions would be far too risky."

"Great," Sam muttered. "Just great."

"It is, isn't it? Gonna be great fun," said a sing-song voice from behind them. Seemingly out of thin air, two people had appeared a young man with a devilish grin and a very pissed-off looking red-head who, unless Amy was mistaken, was wearing Hogwarts robes.

"Gabriel?" Castiel said incredulously at the same time as the Winchester brothers said, "Charlie?" in the same tone of voice.

"Oh don't look at me like that Cassy," the young man said with a pout, noticing Castiel's expression of shock and anger. "I heard Sammy calling, couldn't resist popping in, now could I? Say, can I have some of this hot chocolate? Looks great." Without waiting for a reply, he grabbed Castiel's still full cup and downed half of the frothy mixture.

"Gabriel," Castiel snapped, "What are you doing here? How did you get here?"

"Never mind, I take it back, this stuff is disgusting. Needs a hell lot more sugar."
