Angel With A Shotgun

15

Gabriel's first stop was heaven. He wasn't surprised to find it in utter chaos. He had assumed Lucifers first stop would be here. What he hadn't expected to see was Michael sitting in their father's throne. How did he not realize that Michael would be out too. He knew there was no point trying to sneak up on him, he would have felt his presence as soon as he entered heaven.

"Hello brother."

"Gabriel. How wonderful to see you again, And back to full power. How nice. I assume it has something to do with little Sammy winchester?"

Gabriel growled, pulling his blade out. He looked rather farel at the moment. Weapon drawn, wings fully spread out in defense, hisneyes glowing bright gold.  If he had to kill both of these monsters, then so be it.

"No now little brother. Don't be hasty. You need my help."

Gabriel laughed, the sound coming out much darker than normal. He would be damned if he let Michael manipulate him. He had hurt his mate. And he would die for that.

"So you did take the boy as your mate. Good for you.  It's a shame, though. I did quite enjoy my time with him. I was hoping to find him next."

Gabriel knew Michael could hear his thoughts,  that was no surprise. What did make him faulted was the word next. Before he could ask, Michael was laughing.

"Did you think we did not know where he was? That their little bunker was not the first place he was going? Come now Gabriel,  surly you do not think he is stupid."

Gabriel was shaking with rage. How could he have been this stupid. He left Sam there all alone. No not alone, Cas and Dean were there. And surly he would hear something from Sam if lucifer was there.

Just as he thought that, 3 words rang in his mind, clear as day.

'Lucifer is here.'

He felt the fear building in Sam, could see flashes of the bunkers warding through Sam's eyes.  Michael laughed, enjoying his little brother's torment at being fooled.

Gabriel looked at at him, and he snapped. He was across the room in a second, driving his blade into Michael's chest. He watched as his brother brushed the blade, surprise on his face. Clearly he thought Gabriel would flee to save Sam immediately.  Instead, Gabriel decided he would put an end to any back up plans the two had. Michael screamed as he died, his wings burning shadows across the room. Gabriel didn't blink as he pulled his blade out. He had to get out of there before the other angels could see what he had done. He would not be forgiven for killing Michael, regardless of his reasons. He would be hunted and executed if caught. As he made his way quickly back to earth, he heard the screams of his brothers and sisters as they found Michael. He moved quick, already half way back to the bunker before they could start to question who had killed him.

Gabriel focused on Sam, getting images of what was happening at the bunker as he flew back.

Sam watched the warding burn, knowing it would only be minutes before Lucifer was inside. He couldn't move, frozen In place with fear. He felt Dean grab his arm, yanking him up and dragging him to the panic room. Vast was already inside, pouring a line of holy oil across the door. As soon as sam and Dean were over the line, Cas lit the oil. They all knew it would only serve to slow him down. If they wanted to kill him, they needed Gabriel to get back with the archangel blade. Sam knew when the last of the warding burnt off. He heard the door to the bunker creak open and footsteps coming down the stairs. The steps came closer as all 3 boys moved to the back of the room. Sam prayed.

'Gabriel he is here.  Come back. Please come back, he's here. We need you. I need you please.'

Lucifer was in front of them. A sick grin on his face as he stared past Cas and Dean, focusing on Sam.
