The song here is "Heaven Coming Down" by the Tea Party
Heaven Coming Down
Anne fell asleep during the ride, but when she opened her eyes, the sky was an orange color, making her unsure of just what time it was. But she was sure that they were nearly at the Men of Letters. Just a few more roads and they'd be there. She felt so relieved and stressed at the same time; how cruel time could be when it was too slow when you needed it to be faster.
She glanced over at Gadreel and took comfort knowing that he felt the same way she did. He continued to grip the steering wheel like he was considering on speeding even more just to get there in the next second. He was just as anxious as she was.
"We're almost there." She said and he glanced over at her with a bit of relief in his eyes.
They turned down those roads and when the bunker was in view, they couldn't wait to get in there. The garage door opened and they drove inside, making Anne remember when she had left with Gadreel to meet with Crowley. She cast a spell so they could drive her car out without making noise that would wake the brothers up.
They drove down into the garage and were now completely relieved knowing they were in the safest place. Gadreel hadn't yet stopped the engine of her car when she opened the passenger door and got out.
Sam approached as Dean had closed the garage door. He smiled at the expression of relief on her face and, without thinking about it, she sort of threw her arms around him in a tight hug.
"Thanks." She said and when she pulled back, he seemed a little uneasy, but he was the friendliest face she knew.
"No problem." He said and helped Gadreel and Viviane with the luggage. Anne remained in place as Dean approached her. He looked like he sounded on the phone; slightly guilty and unable to really discuss his emotions. He gave her a small smile and this seemed awkward for him. "Hi, I'm Anne Cromwell." She said and that made him smile more. She extended her arms and he allowed for them to hug it out a little.
When he pulled back, he grabbed a couple of bags and then looked at her with a little grin.
"Everything but the kitchen sink?" he asked her and she let out a small laugh.
"Almost took that too." She joked and they all left the garage, going into the corridors of the Men of Letters' bunker. It hadn't changed from the last time they were there.
The brothers brought them to some empty rooms and Anne let out a small laugh. They were giving her the same room as last time.
"I get my old room back?" she asked and Sam smiled, chucking a little too.
"We thought you might want it. But if you want another room, it's no problem." He said and she smiled as she tapped his arm.
"This is fine, thanks." She said and walked inside with Gadreel behind her. She heard Sam offer Viviane the same room she had last time and Dean helped her with her bags. Anne sighed and Gadreel turned to her, automatically hugging her tightly.
"We'll be safe." He said and she could feel him relax. Of course he was still worried, but it wasn't driving him insane.
"You think the angels won't hurt our baby knowing that Ezekiel resurrected me?" she asked and he pulled back enough to look her straight in her eyes. His expression seemed hard, like the uncertainty weighted on his shoulders like the worry he had for their child, but he smiled softly at her with hope.
"Gabriel wouldn't have suggested it if he didn't believe it." he said and she frowned in confusion, which broadened his smile. "Gabriel is the last Archangel. Castiel sought out his help, but Gabriel's never been one to take part in conflicts." He added and she simply nodded.
She stared at him in silence with a soft smile. Gadreel was the best thing that ever came into her life. He had given her so much; happiness, relief from loneliness, love… best of all, a baby. She would fight with everything she had to keep the life she had with him. And she couldn't get her mind off of all this with the angels, with Ezekiel and the mystery of how she got his grace. That bothered her most of all because no one knew anything about it.
"Who do you think had placed your grace in me?" she asked and he smiled sadly, knowing that this still bothered her. Castiel just assumed that it was Ezekiel, but it didn't fit the time line, thus raising some questions.
"We'll find out when all this is over." he said and she nodded, satisfied with his answer. "How about we get something to eat? Leave our bags for later and then get some much deserved sleep?" he asked and she smiled.
"I really should. Our poor baby must think I'm starving him or her." she said and Gadreel smiled and placed a soft kiss on her lips.
Together they left the room and walked down the corridors to find the kitchen.
So the little talk about who placed Gadreel's grace in Anne is my way of saying that I figured it all out, I fixed a loop hole, a while back actually. However, I'm saving that for later, ha! Thanks for the support! Lots of love!
