Hello all. I would like to thank Little Cinch, MaddyR and SummerMistedDragon for the wonderful reviews.

So here is another chapter I hope you like it.

Disclaimer: I don't own Supernatural.


Gabriel pulled up outside the bunker, but before he got out of the car he turned to the angel next to him.

"I think you should wait here." He said to Hannah, after all he wasn't sure how the Winchesters would react if he turned up with an angel in tow without warning, and he had forgotten to call them and let them know he was stopping by.

"Very well commander." Hannah replied. In this situation she would be following his orders to the letter. These were his allies after all, not hers, or the rest of the angels.

With a nod and a smile Gabriel jumped out of the car and bounded to the door which would take him underground. Yes he was excited because he had a plan to get Castiel's grace back, but if he was honest, he was just as excited that he was going to see his little brother again. After all once he got his grace back, Cassie wouldn't be the fledgling version of himself any more. He would be back to the adult version who knew that Gabriel had deserted him. The adult version who would now know that Gabriel had survived Lucifer killing him and that rather than helping him in his many battles, he had hidden away from it all. He had kinda got used to Castiel hero-worshiping him once more. But as soon as his grace was back where it belonged, inside him, Castiel would not think that way anymore. Hell, he would probably agree that Gabriel wasn't fit to run heaven and kick his sorry ass out, he'd be right to do it too. But now was not the time to be having these thoughts.

With a shake of his head he pulled open the bunker door and made his way inside. Before his feet hit the floor from the last step the beige fuzz he was getting used to seeing hurtled itself at him screaming his name. Grabbing him, he laughed with Castiel as they were reunited once more.


Castiel had been working in the library when he felt the presence of another angel, an angel he would recognise anywhere now. With that he had thrown down the book he had in his hand startling Sam who was across from him and ran, screaming his brother's name, to the doorway. Dean in the kitchen had heard only the sound of Cas screaming, and as such came running knife in hand, ready to defend his home and family. When he reached the war room though he put the knife down, for there, with Cas in his arms, was Gabriel.

"Gabe, give a guy some warning next time okay? I could have killed you." He reprimanded the archangel.

"Not with that thing you couldn't." Gabriel replied nodding to the knife Dean had just put down.

"What you doing here?" Dean asked as Gabriel put Castiel down once more, though the fledgling refused to relinquish his big brothers hand.

"Before we get to that I have Hannah upstairs in the car." Gabriel replied nodding towards the door.

"Why?" Dean asked confused why Gabriel would bring another angel here. After all weren't they trying to stay of the angels' radar?

"Cos I made her my second in command." Gabriel replied with a shrug. He didn't want to go into the ins and outs with Dean right now, they had bigger things to discuss, and he was going to need Dean on his side for this one.

"Do you trust her?" Dean asked the only thing that was truly important right then.

"She's my second in command Dean." Gabriel re-iterated evasively.

"That doesn't' answer my question." Dean said narrowing his eyes at the archangel and crossing his arms waiting for a reply.

Gabriel through for a moment, Dean it seemed would demand a yes or no answer, and he knew that it wasn't just Sam and Dean he would be trusting with the other angel. He would also be trusting her with the knowledge of fledging Castiel, and no doubt everything else he had kept from her. Did he really trust her with all of that?

"Yes, I trust her." He finally said. He had made her second in command for a reason and she had served him well since then. He was going to have to trust other angels at some point, and he felt that she was a good one to start with.

"Then I'll go invite her in." With that Dean made his way up the stairs and out the bunker door. Making his way to the car he saw the same woman who had found him all those weeks ago sitting neatly in the passenger seat with her seatbelt on.

"Hannah?" he said opening the passenger door.

"Dean Winchester." Hannah replied without any emotion in her voice at seeing him.

"Yeah it's me. You coming in or what?" Dean asked with fake friendliness.

"If that is what my commander wants." Hannah replied not moving from her place.

"If by commander you mean Gabe, then yeah it's what he wants." Dean responded with a roll of his eyes, though he never took them off the angel in the car.

"Very well." With that Hannah turned to undo her seatbelt, but before she could get the buckle released a large calloused hand closed over the top of hers, turning back she found herself face to face with Dean, in fact he was so close they were sharing the same air.

"If you hurt anyone inside my home I will kill you and nothing and no one will stop me, do I make myself clear?" Dean said in a low voice, though the serious tone was one that no one would argue with. Not even an angel, Hannah after all knew what happened to angels who angered this man by hurting his family.

"Very." Hannah replied evenly. She knew Dean Winchester was trying to intimidate her but she would not be phased by him.

"Good. You may have Gabriel's trust, but I don't know you. He is the only reason I am letting out of this car alive, understand?" Dean continued staring at her with a look that said he would kill her without a thought or care.

"You mean that my behaviour in your home will be reflected onto him." Hannah responded, not sure she was understanding correctly.

"No honey, I mean that you mean nothing to me except as a threat to my family." Dean growled at her his eyes going even harder in there stare.

"And I could say the same about you Dean Winchester, but I will not. Gabriel is trusting you to help him get us home, and he trusts you with our brother. That is enough for now." Hannah replied staring right back. She may not trust this man and he obviously did not trust her, but they both did trust Gabriel. And it was with him that there hope laid.

"Seems we agree on something." With that Dean moved out of the car releasing Hannah's seatbelt and hold out his hand to help her out of her seat. Taking it cautiously Hannah realised that was this was the righteous man's way of offering a truce, for now, for both their families.
