Unfinished Gems

Trick Hunt - 6

Dean and Loki were very close to going for Uriel's throat the second they heard the inflection in his voice as he spoke to Sam. While they forgave Castiel for subtly reminding Sam of his mistake concerning Ruby, they held nothing but loathing for Uriel.

Unlike Castiel, who only stated fact and held no genuine disgust or other emotion towards the fact Sam had been drinking Ruby's blood while he slept with her, Uriel all but called Sam an abomination for it. And that pissed both Dean and Loki off.

Fortunately Loki's more...vengeful...side kicked in. He managed to hide his presence in Dean's soul. Barely.

It wouldn't do for Uriel to report that there was an Asgardian sharing his soul with Dean Winchester, the Righteous Man. Castiel hadn't exactly been in contact with the Asgardians, much less Loki. And while Odin's favorite punishment was well known among the gods, no one was currently looking for Loki.

Which meant he could cause as much chaos as he could until that secret was blown. Especially considering the fact he knew something was up behind the scenes with the angels.

Still, Loki held his peace and managed to wait until the angels were well out of hearing before he laced the room with cloaking spells. The same spell that hid him from Heimdall's view also hid him from most angels, provided they weren't actively searching.

Once that was done, Dean and Loki let loose every swear word they knew to describe Uriel. Sam managed to keep up with most of it, but he was openly impressed with the variety of swear words Dean had acquired from Loki. And he didn't limit himself to four letter words either.

"Feel better?"

"I'll feel better if I made that arrogant feather duster grovel on his knees and beg your forgiveness," said Loki furiously.

Sam snorted...then he realized Loki was serious about that. Seeing the look on Sam's face, Loki gave him an amused stare.

"You might believe in heaven and God, but I have a different afterlife waiting for me...and that's if I'm lucky. I don't know about Dean, but odds are I'll end up with Hel for eternity, even if she won't actively torment me like most who enter her domain."

Sam became quiet, then asked, "Do you think we could visit Fenrir after this?"

Loki's lips quirked upward. Sam and Fenrir had gotten along immediately, and Sam's inner dog lover had even thrown a ball a few times for Fenrir to chase. He was now one of Fenrir's all-time favorite people next to Loki himself.

"How about I take you to visit Fenrir and Jormungandr?"

Sam perked up at that.

He had been wanting to meet the World Snake, since he got along really well with Fenrir. Then Sam's lips suddenly twitched.

"Isn't Dean terrified of snakes though?"

Loki smirked as Dean started cursing his brother out without much feeling to it.

Because he had been unable to shield properly while under the influence of Ghost Sickness, Dean had been stuck with a plethora of ridiculous fears...including snakes.

Loki, of course, had never been terrified of snakes even as a child. It was hard to be terrified of something you could hold a reasonable conversation with...and the fact one of his children was in fact a massive snake with venom far more deadly than any on Midgard had nixed any feeling outside of amusement rather easily.

"Dean would like me to tell you to go 'screw yourself bitch'."

"Not a chance in Helheim, jerk," countered Sam easily, smirking.
