Disclaimer: I don't own Supernatural.

Kali woke the next morning feeling like someone was trying to smash her head in and a fuzzy taste in her mouth. Argh, this was why she never drank too much. With that thought she rolled over only to find herself falling. It seemed she had pasted out on the couch. Great just great. Well she might as well get up now. With that she pulled herself up of the floor and staggered over to the bathroom where she had unpacked the painkillers, luckily she missed treading on any of the broken glass that was littered round the floor. (Poor Kali, I can sympathise.)

Once she had taken painkillers and had a long hot shower she felt a bit more human. With that she came back out to the livingroom to survey the mess she had created last evening and work out where it would be best to start. Slowly picking her way to the kitchen it get something to put the glass in she stopped when there was a knock on her door. Who was it now? It wasn't like a lot of people knew where she lived. It was probably Gabriel again. In which case she was not going to answer that door. No, no matter what. The knock sounded again, but this time it was accompanied by a voice, and not the one she had expected to hear.

"Kali, are you in? It is Castiel."

"Castiel. What can I do for you?" Kali asked as she opened the door wide enough for him to see her but not into the apartment. She wasn't sure how her landlords partner would feel about the mess she had made in just one evening.

"I have some questions, and as my brother is not answering his phone I hoped you would be able to answer them for me." Castiel replied amicably hoping she wouldn't slam the door in his face. If Gabriel won't tell him he hoped she would.

"If you're here to persuade me to talk to him you're wasting your time." Kali replied going on the defensive. Gabriel had better not have done that. (Don't worry, he hasn't.)

"I'm not. Please? You are not the only one he never explained himself too." Castiel said sincerely.

"Why does that not surprise me?" kali replied under her breath, or at least she had meant for it to be under her breath but she caught the faint smile on Castiel lips at her words.

"Because he is Gabriel." Castiel replied.

"Okay. But…excuse the mess." Kali finally said, giving in. she had the distinct impression that while he might not be as loud as Gabriel, Castiel Novak could be just as stubborn when he wanted too.

Castiel raising his eyebrow when upon entering the apartment he caught sight of the broken glass on the floor. Seeing where Castiel was looking Kali just shrugged.

"Gabriel has a habit of being able to really piss me off."

"Yes I understand that one." Castiel said. His brother did have that effect on quite a few people in his experience.

"You want a coffee?" kali asked, remembering she should really be polite to this guy. He couldn't help having Gabriel for a brother. (Well true.)

"Thank you, that would be great." And with that Castiel followed Kali over to the kitchen area of the apartment. It was strange to be here without Dean. But he knew that he was back in their house, snuggled up in their bed, just where Castiel had left him this morning. He hadn't told Dean what he was planning to do. He did not think his partner would agree with his decision to come here. But he needed to know.

"So what do you want to know?" Kali asked once they both had coffee in their hands.

"You said that my brother worked for your father." Castiel stated staring her in the eyes.

"Yes." Kali replied taking a sip of her coffee and forcing herself not to look away. Man Castiel had an intense stare.

"Doing what?" Castiel asked tilting his head at her.

"He was his protégé." She replied with a shrug. She wasn't going to keep Gabriel's secrets for him. And Castiel deserved to know the truth. (I agree.)

"What does your father do?" Castiel asked curiously. What had Gabriel been a protégé for in New York?

"He's a chef. Owns a string of restaurants." Kali explained, waiting for the next question and wondering just how much this man in front of her knew of the culinary world. If he would realise just what Gabriel had had. And just how good he truly was.

"What is his name?" Castiel asked with dread settling in his stomach. He had seen this woman's car and clothes and he knew they were expensive. This led him to the conclusion that her father was rather good at his job, and if that was true and Gabriel had been his protégé-

Just what had his brother given up for him?

"Shiva." Was Kali's one word response as she watched Castiel closely. She watched as his eyes widened in shock and his mouth fell open. Well that answered that question. Yes he did know exactly what that meant.

"The Shiva?" Castiel asked, needing to make sure.

"Yes."

"My brother was the protégé of one of the best chefs in the world?" Castiel couldn't get his mind round that. Yes he knew that Gabriel could cook. But to that level? That was a different thing altogether.

"Yes. My father used to say that the name Gabriel would be more famous than Shiva one day. In fact he probably still holds that belief. Not that he mentions it in front of me." Kali replied glad that Castiel seemed to understand without her having to explain anything to him. Though he was a Novak, so she shouldn't be surprised. They all did have a certain training when growing up, preparing them for their future lives as leaders in society.

"He was that good?" Castiel asked in a shocked voice.

"No matter what my feeling for Gabriel Novak, he is one of the best chefs I have ever had the opportunity to meet." Kali said choosing her words with care. And however much she hated him right now he really was an amazing chef.

At that Castiel put down his barely touched coffee.

"Thank you Kali." He said with a frown on his face. Before she could think of saying anything in reply Castiel made his way to the door and let himself out of the apartment, he was completely and utterly in shock with the information that Kali had just imparted to him.
