I flinch when the door bursts open. Thinking it was Lucifer, I whimper "Please don't hurt me again". "Oh, y/n" The person kneels in front of me. I look at him "Gabriel?". He nods "It's me. I'm so sorry, y/n. I'm sorry I let this happen to you". I launch myself at him, throwing my arms around his neck. He wraps his arms around me as I sob into his shirt "It hurts, Gabriel". He furrows his eyebrows "What?". "Lucifer" I whimper. I could feel him tense up. "What did he do, sweetheart?" He replies softly. I could tell he was trying to keep himself calm. Before I could answer, I burst into tears again. He rubs my arm comfortingly "Shh, it's okay. I'm here". When I hear Lucifer's evil laugh, I start to panic and grip on to Gabriel tightly. However, as he wasn't expecting it, he lost his balance and almost fell on top of me. "Hey, hey, hey. Shh, Shh. It's okay. I'm right here, I won't let him hurt you, okay? I promise, he won't get the chance ever again" He assures me. I whimper "Gabriel". "Did he hurt you?" He asks. Lucifer had been burning me with hot iron and cut me with a knife. But that isn't what scared me. When I nod, he immediately tenses up. I let him see some of the burn marks and cuts. None of them are bad enough that I'll bleed out. He sighs "I'm so sorry, cutie. This was all my fault". My eyes fill with tears "Gabriel, that's not what scared me". He looks at me "Y/n, what did he do?". A few tears slip down my cheeks and his expression softens as he reaches up to wipe them away with his thumb. I shake my head and bury my face into his shirt. He frowns, rubbing my back.

Third POV

"How nice of you to join us, little brother". She flinches, hearing his voice, refusing to look at the older archangel. Gabriel stands up, pulling her with him. "Lucifer, you have crossed many lines in our lifetimes. You have given me plenty of reasons to despise you. But this... this is too far. I don't care if you are my brother, I will not hesitate. Try to come anywhere near her and you'll be nothing but a pile of ash before you can get the chance" Gabriel threatens. "Really, brother? See, you can threaten me all you want. But we both know they are empty. You have run out of juice, you can't overpower me. You never have and you aren't strong enough to change that" Lucifer chuckles. "We'll see about that. You should've shut the door behind you" Gabe hums. He whips out his angel blade, then chucks it to a dark figure behind Lucifer. Dean catches it with ease while Sam tackles him to the ground. While they restrain him to extract his grace, Gabriel turns back to y/n. She is still clinging to him. He runs his hand through her hair, making her look at him. He could feel her whole body trembling in fear. "You don't need to be scared, y/n. It's okay. You'll always be just fine as long as I'm around. I won't let anyone or anything hurt you ever again, I promise" He sighs. She gulps "Gabe... the only thing I'm scared of is him. But he won't ever go away, he is burned into my memories for the rest of my life. I'm going to see him every time I close my eyes. How can you protect me from that? He's in my head". His expression softens "You saw his true form, didn't you?". She didn't have to nod for him to believe her. He could see the fear in her eyes, in the tears forming in them. She frowns as tears fall down her cheeks "Gabriel... please make it stop. I don't want to see it anymore". He sighs softly "Oh, y/n. You won't have to, okay? I'll make sure of it" He promises.

After making sure she is okay, Gabriel walks over to the boys, who have successfully extracted Lucifer's grace. Sam hands the little container over to him. He tilts his head back, then empties the container into his mouth. His eyes flash blue as he drops the clear glass tube on to the ground. It smashes into tiny pieces, but no one takes notice of it. Gabriel stands straight, not taking his eyes off his brother "Guys, get her out of here". When nothing happens, he gets a little impatient "Now!". Sam and Dean head over to y/n and they help her up. When they are safely out of the room, Gabriel turns his attention back to the older archangel, who is still on the ground.

Lucifer chuckles "My, my little brother. I must learn not to underestimate you". Gabe glares at him "Why?". "Why what?" He sighs. "Why'd you take her?" Gabriel huffs. "I knew it would get your attention. She's a smart one, I'll give you that. She figured out my plan. After I had killed you, I had plans for her. But I suppose that isn't going to happen anymore" Lucifer replies. Gabriel furrows his eyebrows "What the hell are you talking about? Y/n had nothing to do with this". He smirks "Oh, but she did, brother. See, I took a liking to her. She's feisty, but I could've handled that. After killing you, I was going to make her mine". Gabriel could feel the blood boiling inside his vessel. His eyes flickered red for a moment. "After all, you haven't officially claimed her, have you?" Lucifer hums. Gabe took a deep breath "Keep talking, Lucifer. See what happens". He chuckles "Gabriel, you and I both know you can't do it. You don't have it in you to kill me. Even with your juice back". "Sure about that? You didn't hesitate. So, why should I hold back?" Gabe replies. "Well, I'm still here, aren't I? Oh, Gabriel. All the things I planned on doing with her. She would've been stuck with me forever. The Winchesters would've had no chance of finding her. And you... well, you wouldn't be there at all" He taunts.

Those words had flicked a switch somewhere in Gabriel. His eyes lit up a furious fire in them. Giant gold wings sprouted from his back. He gave his brother one last chance to live or die depending on his next words. "Choose your next words wisely, brother" His voice had turned an entire octave lower than usual. He felt no sympathy or guilt towards him. Only anger and an overwhelming need to protect y/n.

However, his next words weren't smart ones "It's a shame, really. It would've been nice considering that she hasn't been touched by anyone else. Including you". Gabriel didn't need to hear any more. He picked up his angel blade, flew over to him and plunged it deep into his chest. There was a bright white flash, filled with a scream and it went silent when the flash disappeared. As Gabriel let the empty vessel fall on to the floor, he sighed, attempting to calm himself "She is not a toy, Lucifer". The black shadow of angel wings singed into the ground forever. It was true, she didn't belong to anyone. Not even him, but he didn't want to rush her. It's a full commitment to be with an angel. An archangel no less. He didn't want to pressure her or overwhelm her. Even though she wasn't his yet, he was hers. And there was no way in hell, heaven or earth he would let his brother take advantage of her.

When Gabriel eventually emerged, he went over to Y/n and pulled her into a hug. The boys were standing or leaning against the car, but he didn't care. "I am so, so sorry" He whispers, close to tears. She slowly returns his hug, resting her chin on his shoulder "Stop apologising. It wasn't your fault, Gabe". He sighs "No, I'll keep apologising every day for the rest of my life. He told me everything". She pulled away to look at him "Everything?". He nods "He told me his plans for you if he killed me". She frowns "Is he...?". "Yeah, Lucifer's gone. He won't come back" He replies softly. He gently strokes her cheek with his thumb and sighs "I love you, Y/n. I don't care what happens, I have nothing but time. There's no pressure on you, it's your decision. I just need you to know, even if you are never officially mine, I'll always be yours". She sighs "I love you too, Gabriel. But I thought maybe...". He frowns "What? What's wrong, cutie?". "I'm sorry... I was kinda starting to doubt that you would come for me. I forgot I couldn't call for you anymore and I panicked" She admits. "Y/n, it's okay. Don't worry about that. I'll always come for you, even if I am human I'd still find my way to you. No matter what. In case you haven't noticed, I'd do anything for you" He assures her. She smiles slightly "I know, Gabe". He sighs "I love you so much. It's crazy the things I'd do for you". She giggles a little and he smiles "So, am I forgiven?". She chuckles, nodding "Definitely".
