"They can tell you what to do

But they'll make a fool of you

And it's all right, baby, it's all right

We're on a road to nowhere"

Road to Nowhere – Talking Heads

Gabriel made his way down the corridors of heaven to the meeting he had been summoned to, well in actual fact Castiel had been summoned and he was supposed to deliver the message, but meh, semantics. He was the one who needed to be at this meeting after all. He was the one with the trick up his sleeve. At that his steps gained a bounce as he thought about what fun he was going to have getting one over Michael and Naomi, oh yes, this was going to be so much fun.

Opening the door he saw that his big brother had gone all out for this one, the pompous dick. Oh this would just make it all the more fun. With that he entered the grand court room which had Michael sitting as the judge and Naomi at his side. In front of him and a long way down was a single hard wooden chair that Gabriel guessed was for him. He didn't like the look of that, so with a chick of his fingers he turned it into a throne on a pedestal so he was eye level with the archangel in charge of heaven.

"Hey Mikey, how's it hanging?" He asked as he got himself comfortable. Already he was having a grand old time. The looks on both the other angels present faces was priceless.

"Gabriel, what are you doing here? This is Castiel's hearing about his abominable behaviour in creating a soul bond with the human Dean Winchester." Michael replied with a frown for his younger brothers antics.

"Excellent, I'm in the right place then." Gabriel replied with a smirk.

"You are not Castiel." Naomi snapped, she had never liked the archangel in charge of garrison of angels given the role of finding love for humanity. She never really saw the point in their role at all.

"No, I'm his representation." Gabriel answer with a sunny smile making the other two angels look at him confused making him roll his eyes as he continued. "Article 12, subsection 43. At an initial hearing the angels supervisor may choose to take the place of the plaintiff if said plaintiff's actions were conducted with his or her supervisor's full knowledge and consent." He reeled off.

"You knew?" Michael asked in disbelief.

"Well, du! Of course I knew Mikey. Won't be doing a very good job if I didn't now would I?" He asked with a shake of his head and a theatrical look of disbelief. Laughing joyfully inside as he did it. He knew nothing wind Michael up more that his dramatics.

"But… it's against our laws for an angel and human to involve themselves in a romantic relationship, let alone create the bond that Castiel did knowingly." Michael replied with a look of horror at his brother actually condoning such a thing. He knew Gabriel was a menace, but he didn't think he would go this far.

"Two things. First, he didn't do it knowingly, it was actually an accident, and kinda my fault. I sort of suggested he have a relationship with Dean to get the guy to open up. Second, the law actually says that no male angel and human female can involve themselves in a romantic relationship or have a soul bond, and vice versa. Dad designed so we didn't end up with a litter of Nephilim on our hands, but nowhere in any law book does it state that an angel cannot enter a same sex relationship with a human. So techinically, Castiel has done nothing wrong, and neither have I." At that the other two angels just stared at him as he smirked back at them.

After giving them a few moments to process this bit of information Gabriel asked "Any other charges?" In a bright voice.

"Yes, he has exposed himself as an angel to the human, and as such the human must be cleansed from the earth." Naomi stated forcefully. She would get Castiel and his human one way or another.

"You know I find it strange. We spent all this time creating this religion which made humans believe in angels, and yet when one of them finds out for sure that that belief is true, you want to kill them. That really doesn't make much sense now does it?" Gabriel asked casually but by the look he shot her, Naomi knew that he would not let her so much as look at Dean Winchester. In fact it looked to her very much like Gabriel would like nothing more than to cleanse her from heaven right now.

She couldn't think of a reply to make, she just spluttered and turned to Michael to say something in her defence. But he was busy studying his brother contemplatively. Eventually Michael nodded at Gabriel's question, agreeing that no harm would come to Dean because he knew Castiel was an angel. His brother was right after all. It didn't make much sense.

"So that everything?" Gabriel asked standing.

"You win this time Gabriel, but don't try to use the same trick again. I will be changing that law as soon as you leave, we will have Castiel back here and away from humanity." Michael said in an authoritative voice. He may have agreed to the last point, but he still did not like an angel having a bond with a human, it was not natural in his mind.

"Ah, it seems you've forgotten appendix 234 Mikey, any law change due to the outcome of a trial cannot then be used to prosecute the angel again. You know, I made dad put that one in. I always was a bit of a minx but he didn't really want to punish me when I usually had a really good reason for my actions and I knew the law so well." With that and a smirk Gabriel flew out of the chamber of justice leaving his brother fuming and Naomi spluttering once more. Oh yes, he had been right. That had been great fun. Time to go and impart the good news to Cassie and Dean-o.
