A/N: Yes this is a currently living Gabriel in this chapter.

"Crowley."

"Crowley is dead and has been for 100 years, Please do me the courtesy of addressing me the name I currently use Gabriel." Benedict Valda turned around to address the Archangel. "The name is Benedict C. Valda, the fourth if you want to be specific."

"I really don't care what you call yourself, it doesn't change what you are, a fallen angel currently siding with hell." Gabriel said. "And that is only because I've chosen to allow you to continue your existence because of an agreement we had. We agreed that all of the chalices would be destroyed."

"They have been." Valda said. "Do you think that I would be careless about that? Those summoning chalices could allow Lucifer to communicate with a human and potentially open the cage. I don't want him and Michael running free anymore than you do. Forgiveness won't be high on their to do list for either of us." Valda took a sip of scotch. "Although you are in a better position to survive their anger than I am. Why are you bringing up the chalices anyhow?"

"For 6000 years hell time Michael and Lucifer have been quiet. Now I can feel a disturbance in the change, a sense of anticipation. They both know there is only two ways of getting out of the cage, by using the rings which I keep on my person at all times; or by getting a human to break 65 of the remaining seals. Two seals have been broken." Gabriel said. "Sam and Dean died without producing any children so it's not like we can send hunters to handle this. But your little Warehouse pets could handle it. It's what they do right? Track down artifacts? I suggest that you get them tracking before anymore seals break." Gabriel glared at Crowley one last time and disappeared in a flutter of feathers.

"Hello Luvs." Valda said as he stepped off of the elevator into the operations center of the Warehouse.

"Valda! To what do we owe the pleasure of this visit?" Claudia asked sensing that the regent was agitated.

"How long have you been with the warehouse now Arthur?" Valda asked.

"Mr Valda." Art said. "Six months. Is there a problem?"

"Yes there is, and one that takes priority over anything else that you are currently working on." Valda answered. "It has come to my attention that there is an extremely dangerous artifact out there and it needs to be found now. The consequences will be catastrophic if it is not found immediately.

This artifact needs to be found and placed in the Dark Vault. It is highly dangerous and a bit beyond what you normally have dealt with here. But for you to understand the scope of what it is you are dealing with, I'm going to have to give you a bit of a history lesson. One that you will find difficult to believe but it is completely true and factual."

"I'm not sure that I understand." Claudia said. "If I were to take a guess from your stress levels, I would say that you don't expect us to believe you."

"I do think that you will have difficulty accepting it. What I'm about to tell you is biblical in nature and there are elements of the supernatural involved." Valda admitted.

Art turned his chair to face the Regent. "What exactly are we looking for?"

"A silver chalice. One that was used in the Last Supper." Valda said.

"Wait Last Supper like that painting with Jesus and the Apostles?" Claudia asked.

"Exactly, Jesus, the Apostles; they all once existed. And they did have a last meal together before Jesus was placed in the hands of the Romans by Judas Iscariot. The goblets that they drank from became artifacts that night. Jesus' goblet the one that he passed among them was taken and hidden creating the legend of the Holy Grail. It was never found because it was hidden by a specific group of individuals who realized the power that it would come to hold." Valda mentally patted himself on the back. Telling these two that angels had taken the cup and hidden it would never do.

"So we are looking for the Holy Grail?" Art asked.

"No the people who took the Grail have kept it safe over the thousands of years since. It is one of the other chalices, one of the apostle's chalice that you need to search for." Valda said.

"This chalice supposedly gives the person who uses it the ability to communicate with angels and demons. But it takes a human sacrifice to open the lines of communication. Fill the chalice with the blood of the sacrifice and you could potentially speak to Lucifer himself."

"Are you saying that this chalice is a hotline to the devil?" Claudia asked. "Come on that is far fetched, even for us."

"The chalice has already been used." Valda said. "There are signs and omens. Freak storms, unexplained cattle deaths and mutilations, towns where people seem to suddenly suffer from a mass hysteria, temperature drops. These are all indications that the chalice has been used. Find it. Whoever has it will continue to kill people."

"Wow, I guess I should get looking for these omens huh?" Art said.

"Yes you do that." Valda said. "Claudia I have downloaded a list of occurrences that you need to look for. There are over 500 items on this list I need to know exactly how many of them have already occurred and immediately when you notice any others occurring. I will be at Lena's."
