Hello again, I'm feeling generous today so here have another chapter. Or more truthfully this goes with the last as will the next.

Hope you like it.

Hannah followed Dean inside, down the steps and into the library. Gabriel who was looking over Castiel's pictures watched their progress out of the corner of his eye. He wasn't stupid enough to think that Dean hadn't had words with Hannah, but it didn't seem that they had come to blows, which was for the good. It showed that rather than treat Dean as a bug beneath her shoe Hannah had actually listened to him. Yes, she was definitely becoming more open to humanity and for that he was glad. Turning back to Castiel he picked him up and moved so Hannah could see him.

"Hannah you remember Castiel, right? Cassie, this is Hannah." He said with a challenge in his voice. One wrong word or gesture from her and she would be dead, and everyone in the room knew it. Though there was the question who would actually do the deed, there were a few choices after all.

"Of course, it is a pleasure to see you Castiel." Hannah replied politely smiling at the fledgling as best she could hoping to put everyone at ease. She had no wish to harm Castiel after all, though she did find it strange that to her grace this child in front of her felt like just that. A human child. What had happened to him?

Castiel watched the other angel, Hannah, Gabriel said her name was, curiously. He wasn't sure if he should know her or not, what he did know was that Dean did not trust her, and yet, Gabriel did. It was a strange situation, and one he did not understand. But he was in his brother's arms, and Gabriel would not let anything happen to him.

"Hello Hannah." He finally said weariness in his voice even though he knew he was safe. Dean's animosity towards this angel was like an itch under his skin. It tingled at his grace making him go on guard.

"Right. Well, Cassie I think you should go show Hannah round the bunker while I talk to Dean-o and Sammy boy okay?" Gabriel suggested in a jolly tone. He did not want to discuss that which he came to discuss in front of his little brother.

"I… I would like to stay with you Gabriel." Castiel replied clinging tighter to his brother's neck.

"There's nothing to fear kiddo. I promise." Gabriel replied gently, trying to disentangle himself from the fledgling without hurting him, physically or emotionally.

"What is it you don't want me to hear Gabriel?" Castiel asked with a tilt of his head.

At that Gabriel sighed and placed the fledgling down on the floor crouching to his level while he tried to think of a way to answer that question enough to satisfy Castiel, but without revealing the truth.

"Is it about my missing grace?" Castiel asked before Gabriel had formulated an answer making him look at the fledgling sharply.

"What do you mean Cassie?" He asked carefully, trying to work out just what Castiel knew.

"I know that some of my grace is missing and you believe that it is in the spell that expelled all the angels from heaven. I believe you are trying to find a way to retrieve it and take all the angels home, correct?" Castiel asked innocently looking at his big brother.

"How do you know all this Castiel?" Gabriel demanded, though he tried really hard to keep the anger inside of him at bay. It wasn't Castiel fault he knew after all.

"I'm sorry brother, I overheard your phone conversations with Dean." Castiel replied shrinking from the archangel in front of him as he felt the rage roll through his grace at the words.

At that Gabriel's stare shifted from Castiel to Dean while he spoke in a low threatening tone.

"Did you now?" Gabriel said not expecting a response, he was too busy thinking of all the different way he could make Dean Winchester pay. Dean on the other hand had crossed his arms and was staring back at Gabriel just as defiantly. The stupid human that he was, did he really think he could beat him, an archangel?

"It was not Deans fault Gabriel. He does not know an angels abilities, he did not know that I could hear him through the wall." Castiel said putting his hand on his brother's arm and allowing some of his grace to infuse with Gabriel's so that he would look at him rather than Dean. He didn't like it when they fought, and it always seemed to be his fault that they did.

"It's okay Cassie, I'm not going to blame Dean and yes it is about the plan I have to get to heaven and retrieve your grace." Gabriel finally spoke as he turned back to Castiel and reined his grace and temper back in. if Dean agreed to his plan he was going to take great pleasure in it now, whereas before he wasn't so sure he could have done it without some regret.

"I want to know what it is to, please Gabriel?" Castiel asked now he knew that his brother was not going to hurt Dean. He needed to know what it was Gabriel had planned, maybe he could help in some way?

"Okay, you can stay. You can all stay. But I think we should sit, is Kevin around? Might as well tell the whole gang at once." Gabriel replied with a sigh when he saw the look on Castiel's face. He was doing the damn puppy dog eyes again, and Gabriel knew he couldn't refuse them.

With that Dean stuck his head into the corridor that lead to the bedrooms and hollered Kevin's name. A minute later the sound of running feet was heard and Kevin came steaming in, gun in hand.

"What is it?" He asked pointing the gun every which way until he decided to point it at the unknown person in the room.

"Gabe wants to talk to us all." Dean replied taking two strides and disarming the prophet with ease.

"Oh." Kevin replied and then proceeded to sit when Dean ordered him to. He then turned to the woman with a small smile and a shrug as he spoke. "Sorry about pointing a gun at you."

"That is fine Kevin Tran. I understand." Hannah replied looking at the prophet. Well this answered who Gabriel had working on the tablet.

"How do you know my name?" Kevin asked confused, he was sure no one had said it.

"You are Kevin Tran, keeper of the word and prophet of the lord." Hannah replied as if it was obvious.

"And you're an angel." Kevin said in the same tone, because well it was obvious. Only angels ever knew his name and called him that.

"Hannah, it's a pleasure it met you." Hannah said putting out her hand as she had seen humans do when greeting someone for the first time.

"Yeah." Kevin replied shaking her hand briefly before turning back to the rest of the people who were settling themselves around the table, with Gabriel at one end and Dean at the other. It really was like the two heads of the family, he could totally see Sam's belief that these two were far too much like parents some times. Oh well time to see what the archangel had to say this time.
