The Shield One-Shots Book 3

Guardian Angel Pt37/Ambreigns

 The room was silent, as Roman sat at the table across from the Archangels, beside Seth and Xavier, Ava, Mia and Zachariah sat on the other side of Seth. Roman was nervous that the three Archangels wouldn't listen to their fears and doubts about the spell being fake. Hell, it wouldn't be the first damn time that that bastard Angel had fooled them. Looking around the table at his family, Roman took a deep breath to calm himself, his family smiled reassuringly at him. Roman turned to his brother and nodded at Seth to encourage him to start.

 "Michael, Raphael, Gabriel, thank you for giving us the chance to talk to you first before you did the spell." Seth began. "We've all been talking about it." He added, his voice strong, his nerves hidden.

 "Oh, what about it?" Raphael questioned.

 "W-what if the spell really is a fake? What if it's a trap to get you three to give up your grace so he can use it against you?" Roman asked, the three Archangels looked at each other confused before they looked back at the others.

 "I'm sorry, brothers and sisters, but we don't understand." Raphael said. "We thought that out of all of us, Roman, you'd want us to do the spell so we can get Dean back?"

 "We do, I do, but not at the risk of the safety of everyone else. I love Dean but he taught me that love isn't selfish, sometimes you have to remove your feelings from the situation and think of others first." Roman answered sadly.

 "Alright, let's say the spell is fake, why would Dean be after it if it is?" Gabriel questioned.

 "Maybe he doesn't know?" Seth answered. "Maybe Cecil lied to him too, just so he would lead you to it?"

 "I agree that does sound plausible, but it does seem like a pretty elaborate plan just for a fake spell." Michael pointed out. "Wouldn't there be simpler ways to do it?"

 "Not really, brother, no, not if Cecil wanted you three to believe that the spell was truly real, it makes perfect sense." Zachariah said.

 "So, what do you all suggest then?" Michael asked.

 "Don't do the spell, please." Seth begged.

 "You all do realize that we could be wasting our only chance at saving Dean, don't you?" Gabriel asked gently.

 "If we're right then we wouldn't have been able to save him anyway." Roman reminded them.

 "And all of you are in agreement?" Michael asked.

 "We are, brother." Xavier replied, as the others nodded.

 "Very well then, the three of us will discuss it and figure out what to do." Michael replied sighing.

 "Thank you." Seth said sighing relieved.

 "While we discuss this, you all should return to your homes, we'll be in contact as soon as we decide." Michael said firmly.

 The six of them nodded and stood up silently, before they left the room, shutting the door behind them.

 "We did it, we stopped them from using the spell." Mia said relieved.

 "For now, they could still decide to do it." Zachariah pointed out. "We need to be prepared for anything."

 "You're right, brother." Xavier said sighing. "Come on, let's all go back to my house, we can talk about this more there."

**Meanwhile**:

 Dean paced his room nervously, he had returned unseen to their hideout 20 minutes ago after his talk with Michael and wasn't sure that he could go through with his plan; despite the false confidence he showed to Michael. It had nothing to do with being afraid of Cecil, he wasn't scared of the asshole, no, he was worried that he would be unable to get over his disgust and fear of hurting Roman to actually go through with his plan. His plan was to make Cecil think that he felt the same about him to buy Michael and the others time, but he wasn't sure that he could do it.
